 Whiile Fisliury coiiiiiienned itt the Ciipo ns early

 the iiihnbitniits, direcliii;; the iiiuiiiier in wliicli all 

 'drift whales' bhoiild he disposed of, hut I know 

 of no proof that the %vhale fishery coiiiiiieneed 

 l.rior to 1666. It is supposed hy .some that the 

 business was coniniciiced nt Naiiturket in 1671, 

 by the same Mr Loper, 11 years after the settle-

 and take the lye remaining in the vessels in the 

 same manner as for the first barrel ; then draw off 

 your weak lye, and fill up the vessels as fast as 

 possible, remembering to put half in each barrel, 

 that they may be equally strong; if your leach 

 run llirongli fast, you may have your barrels full 

 in an hour, and so hard that you can hardly stir 

 them. You must stir it after you begin to jiut in 

 your lye, till your barrel is full. Fourteen quarts 

 of melted grease is the quantity for a barrel.

POWER .OF F.LOqOESCE. 



The accomplished skeptic, Cliesterfield, was 

 present when Whitefield |iresented the vot-nry of 

 sin under the figure of a blind beggar, led by a 

 little dog. The dog has broken his string. The 

 blind cripple, with his staff between both hands, 

 groped his way unconscious to the side of a pre- 

 cipice. As he felt along with his staff, it dropped 

 down the descent, too deep to send back an echo. 

 He thought it on the ground, and bending forward 

 took one careful stop to recover it. But he trod 

 on vacancy, poised for a moment, and as he fell 

 Chesterfield sprung from his scat

RECEIPT FOR COLD SOAP. 



The leach-tub or hogshead must be covered at 

 the bottom with straw and slicks — then put in u 

 bushel of ashes, then two or three quarts of tin- 

 slacked lime, upon which you must throw two 

 quarts of boiling water to excite fermentation and 

 slack the liiiic ; put in another bushel of ashes and 

 as much more lime and water, and continue to do 

 so until your vessel is full ; put in hot water till 

 you can draw off the lye, after which the heat of 

 the water is not of much consc(pieiice. You must 

 have Bl least two thirds of a bushel of lime to a 

 hogshead, if you wish your soap to bo made quick ; 

 one hogshoad of ashes will make two barrels of 

 soap. When you draw off your lye yon must 

 keep the first two pailfiils by themselves, and the 

 next two in another vessel, ami tl 



exclaiming, ' By heaven, be is gone.' 



DISORDERED PASSIONS. 



There is nothing, perhaps, which contributes 

 more to health and longevity than the jiroper re- 

 gulation of the pas.sions. The animating affec- 

 tions — as joy, hope, love, &c, when kept within 

 proper bounds, gently excite the nervous system, 

 promote an equable circulation of the blood, and 

 are highly conducive to health ; while the more 

 violent and depressing passions, as anger, ambition, 

 jealousy, fear, grief, and despair, produce the con- 

 trary effects, and lay the foundation for the most 

 formidable diseases. In the instances of the Km- 



peror Valentinian the First, Winceslaus, Matthias 

 Corvinus king of Hungary, and others, u violent 

 fit of anger, as history informs, caused very spte- 



ly death. — Jour, of Health.

TO THE SEDENTARY. 



No person in health is injured by being over- 

 heated ; but drinking when extremely hot, or be- 

 ing cooled too quickly, in whatever manner it hap- 

 pens, may prove highly jiernicioiis. It is jiroper, 

 therefore, to take off what clothing can be decent- 

 ly spared, before beginning to exercise, and put it 

 on again immediately after. Lying down upon the 

 cold ground, too, must not be allowed. On com- 

 mencing any exercise, begin, not with its more vi- 

 olent degrees, but with the more gentle, and leave 

 off in the same manner ; sudden transitions arc 

 always dangerous. Never let bodily exertion, or 

 yniir attempts to harden the fnime, be carried to 

 excess: let your object be to sln-nclhen the feeble 

 third two in I liody, not to exhaust and render it languid. — Sali-
