you letter from your mother the last she ever wrote. The crape upoM my arm must tell you that your mother--but I do not wish to distress you. We never can be again as brothers, do not choose to know you as a friend.' John then touched his hat, and turned away.

 You are unwell, Francis 2 said broth- CT officer.

 l am--I am. I'm sick at keart.'

 He ordered the boats crew to row him to his own ship. He again became gloo- my ; and never afterwards did he smile as he had smiled in his boyhood

 The brothers were divided in affection, forever. They had been as twin flowers {; they aoere nOU two rifted rocks!

 And is there not moral here Yes {: and fearful one. Fathers judge not your children too hastily, for by not ma king allowances for the hot blood of your children, and that they carry anger as the flint bears fire, you may shatter their best feelings. Brothers! treat not the son of your father worse than you dare treat a friend ; for by doing so, you will get rid of your best shield, and sadly display your own weakness.

 Medicine.---A morbid appetite for med icine is another sin of our land. sNo sooner do some mothers,' says Dr.. Reese, imagine their infants sick, than dose after dose of~nauseous physic is forced down their throats, with the barbarity of a sav- age, thus killing them by kindness, poison ing them lest they should be sck.' But many adults are also victims of the same morbid appetite for medicine. 'They take it in health,' to prevent their being sick, as in the spring and fall or when they conceit themselves bilious. The symp- toms thus interpreted .are generally occa- stoned by eating too much; and these, as we'll as most other disorders of the body, in their beginning, might be removed by fasting day or two, and suffering the pow CTS of nature to be exerted in their own defence; instead of being bled, or swallow ing drugs, which disable the body and per- vert nature. For man to take physic, when in health, for fear of being sick. is to initiate the Italian count, on whose tomb was inscribed by his own request,

 'I was was weIl-wished to be better,

 Took physic-and died."
