The Appetite for Rum-Dr. Mussey relates the following anecdote in illustra tion of the strong appetite which is created by a long and habitual use of ardent spirits: "A few years ago, a tippler was put into an alais-house in a populous town in Massachusetts. Within a few days he had devised various expedients to procure rum, but failed. At length, however, he hit upon one which proved successful. He went into the wood-yard of the establishment, placed his hand upon a block, and with an axe in the other, struck it off at a single blow.With the stump raised and streaming, he ran into the house, crying, Get some rum, get some run-my hand is off! In the confusion of the moment, a bowl of rum was brought, into which he plunged the bleeding member; then, raising the bowl to his mouth, drank freely, and exclaimed, 'Now I am satisfied.'”

Ardent Spirits are not necessary to support the Laborer in hot Weather." The experiment," says Dr. Mussey, "has been made a thousand times, and the result is well known, viz. that more labor can be accomplished in a month, or a year, under the influence of simple nourishing food and unstimulating drink, than through the aid of ardent spirits. I visited,' says a gentleman, four or five years since, in New-Jersey, an iron foundry belonging to Mr. Wood, of Philadelphia; I think there were thirty or forty men employed in the establishment, And all they drank was pure spring water. I saw them often, while lading out the hot metal and sweating at every pore, take a mug, run to the spring, and drink very freely of the water. I inquired if they did not feel any ill effects

"A vessel belonging to my neighbor,' says a merchant in Massachusetts, went from this state to South America, and thence to India; no spirit was allowed to the crew during the whole voyage; they all arrived home in good health. One of my own captains kept grog from his men the whole of an India voyage: they all came home in fine health.--For my crews, in hot climates, I direct spruce-beer, made with the oil or essence of spruce, and molasses and EQUATION OF TIME.

It is in the power of every ship-owner to prevent the use of ardent spirits on board his vessels, by sending out a few barrels of molasses, and a few dozen bottles of the essence of spruce, for beer.'

"To the foregoing suggestion it may be proper to add, that, for laboring men in hot weather, sweetened water, sometimes with the addition of ginger, is a most salutary drink; so also is a mixture of milk and water.”

American Rustic Hospitality.-Returning from an excursion in one of the western states, says Judge Hall, I was overtaken by the night, and found my path obstructed by a deep inlet from the river. Observing a house on the opposite side, EQUATION OF TIME.

I called for assistance. A half-naked fellow came down, and after dragging a canoe round from the river, with some trouble ferried me over. I followed him to his habitation. His cabin was of the meanest kind, consisting of a single apart. ment, constructed of logs, which contained a family of seven or eight souls, and every thing seemed to denote extreme poverty. After drinking a bowl of milk, which I merely called for by way of excuse for paying him a little more for his trouble, I asked to know his charge for ferrying me over the water; to which he good-humoredly replied, that he “never took money for helping a traveller on his way." "Then let me pay you for your milk." "I never sell
