MELODY OF THE QUEEN OF IRELAND.
by iirian uoroiiimk’s bard.
I’d hi* rehenr*in' the great diversliin*,
And sny ext’Undiin* of Victoria famed,
Whin news.- the channel, spite of John O’Connell,
Wid screw and funnel the squadthron sthamed.
On board her yacht, in her silk and satin,
The Queen sat chattiu* and tailin’ the nir ;
Whin nAher the pressage of an ai/.y passage,

It was on a Friday, foriver a high day,
That our Gracious Lady made the Irish shore }
And Admiral Dixon, for her protietion,
Blu/.ed away wid blue lights ami the cannon’s roar.
The Corporation, in ImtIteration,
BeggM the Queen ’ltd have patience till Sntherday,
But noiw it list nml in’ Prince Albert commandin',
Insisted 4)n landiii*, ’cause he wasn’t well at say.
Like crathurs mad run the Cork hoys glad run,
To sec the squathron stimuli* up the Lee;
And I’ui hound to miution the condescention
And great Ahtintion of Her Majesty.
Sure them I’d pity that didn’t see Cork city,
Wid its recreations and lashings ov flowers;
The triumphal arches of laurels and larches
On the line of march is lieyant my (lowers.

Ami the hcighlh of curiosity and generosity,
Widout hanimosity to all displayed.
Wid banners sthr.imiu*,uiul |K*ople scnimin’,
And ladies cranin’ from the wimlies round ;
It’s the Queen might wontlier if it wasn't a hlunthcr

Power of tho Soil to absord odors.
It is well known that onions if buried in the
ear'll lor a few days previous to being 1 cooked,
will have lost much of their rank flavor. Wild
ks, which are often too fishy in flavor to bo
good, may bo rendered much more p.il.ttable by
briiijr wrapped ist absorbent paper and buried in
the ground for a few hours. Dried codfish loses
much of its austerity of 11 ivor (if we may coin a
term) by similar treatment. During the plague,
in Europe, clothing was often buried fora time to
disinfect it. This absorbent property of the soil
is due to the presence of carbonaceous matters,
for clean sca-bcach sand will produce no such re
sults, while pulverized charcoal will act with much
greater energy tiiatl common soil. On this prin
ciple, animal matter coated with itnleachcd ashes,
and then buried in pulverulent peut or muck, will
not only decompose without giving off offensive
odors, but the muck will also, by absorbing the fe-
sulting gases arising from decomposition* be ren
dered niglily valuable as a fertilizer. Dr. Dana
says that a dead horse, if cut in pieces, and treat
ed us above, will render twenty loads of muck
equal in quality to the best stable manure.

AGRICULTURE.
We insert with pleasure the following communica
tion from an intelligent friend, of Harm county. He
is right ; tho legislature of tin* Statu Iidh heretofore
paid too little attention, and given too little hid to the
gie.it interest in question. It may bn true that farm
ers require no more t >ruioctiou than the laws uireudy
grant, hut it is equally true that it is due to them, as
constituting the largest und most important cIuhs of hand
the community, that such aid und encouragement sliull
be extended us will enable them to develop ull tlio
agricultural resources of the State. Patents are
grunted to men of inventive genius, copyrights secured
to men of letters, privileges und immunities bestowed
ou companies for the purpose of accomplishing groat
uudurtttkiugs, whilst the planting interest of the State
is left, by our wise men in couucil, to lake care of
itself or perish. This is radically und ruinously wrong.
[for tiik ENUUIRKR.]
Messrs. Editors: As tho law making power of
Georgia are soon to assemble ut Milledgeville for tho
purpose of looking to the iutercsts of the Stute, and us
suggestions of vurious kinds huvo already bceu made,
for the actiou of tliut body, it may not bo umiss in a
private individual, through the columns of your valu
able paper, to call tho uttcutiou of tho Legislature,
and the people, to the subject of Agriculture. And
while we would not throw olwtuclts in the way of
those who are recommending other subjects, wu must
urge that this claims our first consideration, yet it has
received less notice by our legislative assemblies than
almost any other subject. On most subjects we have
too much legislation for tile interest of tho country,
while there is little or none upon that of Agriculture.
We have long felt tliut Congress ought to huvo tukeu
more interest in the agricultural department, but if tho
most approved method of agriculture under the differ
ent pluna cannot be obtained ut Washington, let us use
the means to obtain this desirable knowledge in Geor
gia. Could wo not follow the example of Massachu
setts, and have a commissioner uppoiuted for the agri
cultural survey of the Stute, with the necessary ap
propriation? And let him, in his report, give general
descriptions, aspects, soils, condition of the inhabitants
of each comity, agricultural pursuits, crops, the dairy,
live stock, sheep, swine, horse*, manures, rotation of
crops, particular results, reports of farms, Ac. &lc.—

SKETCHES FROM THE HUNGARIAN WAR.
From tho Skotchos of Dr. G. Naphogyi.
BY JASl’fill BOOKIIOt’HE.
A corps of urmed turn wandered for several
hours in the Jnblunka Pass, without finding an
outway from the labyrinth of the Carpathian
Mountains—that grand chain which divides Hun
gary and Transylvania from Poland on the north
and northeast, and from Moravia on the northwest,
extending about 160 miles. Not one of them
know the road. They bad ventured without a
guide, when dusk was already setting in, to enter
the “ Smirlna dolma.” Pursuing the course of a
river which wound its way at the foot of the rocks,
they hoped to discover an opening; but ns they
advanced, the steep, gigantic masses seemed to
increase in altitude. From either side nothing
Imt high rocks, devoid of any bush or moss could
be seen. The place deserved of right the name
given to it by the original Sclavoniaus : “ Valley
of Death, 5 ’—for even the sun bad no access to it.
The highest peaks here accumulated form, as it
were, a ceiling or dome to exclude bis benignant
rays; and whilst beyond the limits of this valley
the light of day is about departing, darkness pre
vails in this part to the fullest extent.
Thus it was on the evening of the 5th of May,
1849. It was only 5 o’clock when our baud of
travellers were obliged to alight. In a short time
large tires were burning, and the men, dispersed
in groups, were preparing their scanty meal by
roasting a piece of |>ork taken from their haver
sacks.
The horsemen, now lustily engaged in discuss
ing their supper, were six hundred in number,
most of them young, brave, and vigorous men,
whose very countenances showed tho warrior,
which the blue national costume and their ama-
ment confirmed.
At a little distance from those already encamp
ed, several men were busy, under tho direction of
an officer, in pitching a tent fur the leader of the
troop. The ends of it were hardly fastened to the
oarili, and the other things necessary for the inner
arrangement procured, when a young man, cov
ered with a doiiilun of cherry velvet, ornamented
with gold lace, blue tight huzzar pants, a black
broad brimmed hat, hearing the Panuouian tri
color, and a broad sword at bis side, stepped to
wards the lent, followed by several young officers.
The rellux of the watch lircs revealed a face most
juvenile, warranting not more than eighteen sum
mers. 1 It* gave several orders to his officers, who
then retired with a deferential saluto.
A quarter of an hour had scarcely elapsed,
when a person of tho most tender ago of youth,
wrapped in a white cloak, entered the tent ol the
chieftain. The latter sat on a camp chair, his
crossed on his chest, lost in silent medita-
lle was stiil in full dress, only his hat lay
on the* ground. The lire kept up by the watches
before tin? tent illmnin lUul its thin linen sides, im
parting to the whole a magic appearance. I^otig
auburn silk locks framed the youthful countenance
of the chieftain, who was called tho leader of the
brave six hundred. A fine foreiiead, two large,
black, fiery eyes, a thin though somewhat inflect
ed nose, a handsome white neck, now bared of
the neck-cloth, on which this noble head rested,
gavo import of a young knight of medieval ro
mance.
lie accosted the new comer in a more familiar
than commanding tone: “ You have stayed away
limp!”
“I have prepared a supper for you, but it is
rather meagre. I expected to arrive to-day at tho
place of our destination, and to draw supplies.”
“ And are you not content with this night’s quar
ters ?”
“ Whether I am content or not, we are astray.
I only pray to God to extricate us from these ina-
“ That ho has done!” replied the chieftain, with
a smile, commencing his meal—two eggs and a
piece of wheat bread.
Meanwhile the youth had taken off Ins cloak
and hut,und the dark liuglets which overshadow
ed his faco relieved it of its paleness ; and whilst
divesting himself of his oilier garments, the tight
ness of which, required by military etiquette, was
rather uncomfortable, he tried to seize the thread
of the interrupted conversation. “ And do you
know, general, that the Russians arc on the other
side of these mountains ?”
“ If I did not know that, my timid aid-de-camp,
I should not have despatched my meal with so
good a relish, nor come hither.”
“ They arc so many, and we—” rejoined the
aid.
“ And we only GOO, you mean to say,” respond
ed the chieftain ; “but they are brave and vigor
ous men, thirsting for freedom—not Austrian or
Russian mercenaries. They are such men as on
ly Pannonia affords—men in whoso veins Magyar
blood courses, and who would rather die than turn
at very little cost to the State, and enable tho farmer I their hacks to the enemy.”

State, as hi* presence is required ut home, aud he has

The farmers are anxious to make improvements,
unless it is now und then you find one who followe
“Daddy's" rule, good or bud—as the boy said, who
always cuiried u pumpkin in one end of the bag and
a rock in the other eud, even if he hud twenty to carry
out of the field. He was usked why he carried them
thus—why not a pumpkin in both ends? Ho replied,
hero grown gray in battle. They produced the
effect of choking the questioner, und assuring him
a good night’s rest. The slender aid-de-camp,
after lie hud de|Mi.sitcd the Attila pants and cravat,
was transformed into a—charming maiden!
“ In this habit, my dear Ftleka, you have to
dread the Russians ’more than in our uniform,”
observed the commander, approaching the girl,
embracing her, and pressing an ardent kiss on her
rosy lips.
“ I uo not wish to get a sight of them in either
habit!”

Iu your paper of last week, I see that a convention
of School Teachers, held iu Hamilton, has resolved
that the next Legislature ought to appoint a Traveling
Educational Lecturer, to visit all the school* in the
State, and by lectures und other incans endeavor to
excite a general educational intore*t. Wo know not
how this may be noticed by the vriscr heads, but if it
meets with favor, from that body, certaiuly the Agri

remembered tliut our heroes, statesmen aud soldiers,
come from among the farmers.

rest.
If a stranger could have been allowed to
glance into the tent, he would have receded a step
in holy awe, and exclaimed, “The Valley of Death
has the power of magic!” for the general, like
the aid-de-camp, camo out a beautiful virgin !—
It was patriotism, which pervades all classes in
Hungary, from the low tenant of the hut to the
resident of tho palace, that worked this wonder—
Louis Kossuth acting as the great magician.
’Flic valiant captain of the six hundred was a
virgin in the prime of maidenhood, the Countess
of Czaky, who, ut her own expense,di id equipped
and led GUO of her bravest subjects into camp, to
fc-rjiig! • ter' • !i'v*r;ies of the Father I ind. She

Wuoevcr could iiuvu seen these two enchaining
maidens, descendants of the noble Hungades, in
their female attire, would have considered the rc-
portsof the newspapers concerning them fabulous;
hut it was iu reality this fair-haired virgin who
commanded her own hand at Mohacz, and obtain
ed a glorious victory over 2,200 regular troops.
Fztelka had stretched her tender limbs upon a
carjiel. and overpowered by fearof a near encoun
ter with the Russians or sleep; whilst the Coun
tess Czaky, wrapped only in a night-gown, paced
slowly the enclosed room. Outside all was silent
and quiet; the watches before the tent had been
relieved several times; the night was dark, cold
and melancholy ; the silence of the grave reigned
in the Valley of Death, rarely interrupted by the
sad cry of a bird of prey, or the crackling of the
dying lire. It was near midnight, uud darkness
was in the tortL The countess was just ready to
lie down at the side of her bosom friend, when she
heard a slight noise outside the canvass. She
listened: it seemed to her as it somebody was
loading a gun. Rut soon all was still again.—
The countess went to (he baggage, which lay in
a corner of the tent, and took out a brace of pis
tols ; not from fear—that was alien to her heart—
but as a precaution. She examined the charge,
put on now caps, and was returning to her couch
with these weapons in her hands, when suddenly
streak of lightning divided the thin linen of the
tent, a detonation was heard, and tho countess tell
to the floor.
Tho following morning the countess left her
tent, accompanied by her physician, and appeared
before her troops to appease the panic which last
night’s occurrence had created ainoim them.—
She bared her fine white arm, and exhibited the
wound, still bleeding, which the hall had inflicted.
Ijooking up towards heaven, she offered a prayer
in the Magyar tongue, thanking the Almighty who
had spared her life in this instance, in order to
give scope for glorious deeds in behalf of their
omnioii country—the soldiers kneeling the while,
with heads uncovered. When she had finished,
they all rushed towards her to kiss the wounded
hand. This evidence of affectionate attachment
completely overcame her; but soon recovering her
self-control, she appeared no longer as a woman,
but as a commander, before her troops. Her eye
assumed its piercing, searching glance, and her
form seemed to increase in proportion ; but the
one for whom she looked was not to be seen, and
she learned that he had been missing since mid-
it. Her eye sunk, a chill ran over her frame,
a light cloud sat upon her forehead, aud a sigh
escaped her bosom.
Her officers and the rest of the troops were at a
loss to guess the assassin or enemy; but the coun
tess was well aware who it was that had made
the attack upon her life. After she had re-enter
ed her tent, she exclaimed—“Thisenemy I dread
more than the Russians!”
At noon she ordered the trumpets to sound for
marching, though her medical advisers and offi
cers strongly recommended another day’s rest.—
She guided her gallant steed with her left hand,
the right reposing in a sling. Her face was^pale,
anil betrayed both bodily and mental suffering.
A small plain, intersected by the Popprad river,
interspersed with a few wooden cots—the habi-
t at ions of poor Sclavoniaus—received the countess
aud her corps on the evening of that day, after a
tedious march through the “ Smirlua dolina.”—
According to their calculations, they wore within
two leagues of Klapka’s camp, and hoped soon
to inert the first outposts. She stopped at one of
these little cots to gather information as to the
shortest road to the camp, but the man who was
charged with this mission relumed without any
satisfactory answer, for the cot was entirely ten
antless, and they were forced to trust to chance
for guidance.
The sun was near setting, shedding his last de
parting rays on the Popprad, when the countess,
who had ridden a little in advance, suddenly luru-
ed, und ordered her troop to stop. A sharp sound
mskolry could he heard in the neighborhood,
in the very direction they intended to take. The
er.s received orders; new life animated the
nit hind; the rifles were newly loaded ; und
at the word of command they gal lopped iu double
quick lime iu the direction of the light. At the
outlet ol the valley they perceived a spot, wrap
ped in smoke and dust, which indicated, by the
glaring of the muskets, that it was the rendezvous
sought for.
“ Follow me, iny braves!” cried the countess,
and shortly they were surrounded by a crowd in
which they could recognize neither friend nor
loe. “ Tobro conjarod!” (to the right!) ordered
the countess, whose keen eye had distinguished
the Russians by their fur caps. “ Tuzs!” (fire !)
was then the word, and the rifles were quick to
answer the call. “ Megcyer!” (again!) she com
manded, and the enemy received another charge
from the six hundred, before lie had time to op*
pose the unlooked-for antagonist. Enclosed on
two sides, and uncertain of the strength of the
new comers, ho had only the alternative to fly or
surrender. He chose the latter. Ry the time the
countess’s troops were ready for a third discharge,
a white flag was visible. The firing ceased, aud
eight hundred Russians passed into captivity.—
This was the first encounter of the autocrat’s sol
diers with the free Magyars.
After the prisoners had been secured by a strong
escort, the troops who had been first attacked by
the enemy approached their brethren who had
given such timely succor. A personage in blue
uniform, without any sign of distinction, mounted
on a fiery black charger, galloped towards the
ranks of the six hundred, and stopped his horse
before the countess, saluting her with “ Eljon a
liuza !" (hail our country !) the watchword of the
Magyars.
“ Eljeii!” was the unanimous response of the
patriotic hand.
“ Is this Klapka’s camp?” interrogated the com
mander of the stranger.
“ No; only his outposts.”
“ And he himself?”
“ lie is in his camp, which is only four hundred
paces distant.”
“ I desire to sec him immediately.”
“ With your permission, general, I will seo you
there.”
Thus, whilst the troops of the countess ap
proached those of Klapku, she rode on bv tho side
of the stranger, whom she thought a lieutenant of
the army, towards the camp of the general. A
tent rising ill the midst of il, with a sentinel walk
ing to ami fro, was |>ointcd out as his dwelling.
Arrived there, the companion of the countess
alighted uud assisted her to do the same. The
sentinels saluted, and, without further announce
ment, the stranger led her into the tent.
Her heart throbbed with more than usual emo
tion when site entered, for site was now to see as
a mighty general him who, seven years before, as
a poor student, had been Iter instructor iu draw'
ing. Site stood iu tho tent, but it seemed without
its uccii]<ant. The officer oflered Iter a chair, aud
when lie looked at the young captain's fair coun
tenance, framed in as it was by auburn locks, it
seemed suggestive of a question. In reply to it,
lie assured her that tienerul Klapkn would soon
make his appearance, and related his offer of a
chair; liut she declined it, and stepped towards a
table on winch was spread a map containing a
drawing of the Carpathian Mountains and llic sur
rounding country.
“ Here," said the countess, when seeing the
“ Valley of Death” marked on it—“ hero we yes
terday lielievcd ourselves to be astray,” hut lie to
whom the words were addressed diu not appear
to hod them, his ryes being lixed on the wound
ed hand of the young heroine, which she still car
ried in a sling. Uncertain whether it was an old
wound nr one received iu tho lato encounter, lie
approached aud familiarly asked when that sign
of courage was received. The eyes of the coun
tess sunk, a slight blush suffused Iter cheeks,
and iu order that she might not ho embarrassed by
liie same question from Klapkn, she tore lit** ban-
cage f' mi e. i uni I, and.sillmugh it increased the
patn, allowed it to liant* unsupported. The stran
ger picked up the rejected bandage and placed it
carefully in his pocket.
“ What is tho meaning of this ?” she inquired,
observing the action.
“ If,” replied the stranger, “ seven years ago, I
was so impudent as to leave the house of Count
ess Czasky without a souvenir of my beloved pu
pil, tho leader of a patriotic band will not take it
amiss if I preserve tliis as a token of remembrance
of her."
The tender modesty of tho maiden and the
character of a military commander which she had
assumed, were for a lime in conflict; but in spite
of all her efforts her leeliugs obtained the mastery,
and with a trembling voice she asked—“Is it,
then, you ?”
“ It is me, lady—your former drawing-master,”
answered Klapkn, offering his hand, which was
grasped joyfully but respectfully by his former pu
pil.
Ifalf an hour afterwards our female chieftain,
at the side of Klapka and his staff, passed through
the camp. At the extremity of it they perceived
a group surrounding an officer who had been
wounded in a desperate struggle with the Rus
sians. He wore tho uniform of the men of the
countess. General Klapka, with his suite, ap
proached tlte wounded man, who was apparently
in tile agonies of death. A cry escaped the count
ess when she recognised him. He was the man
whom she had missed in tho morning—Lieut.
Hoelmnnt, a young and gallant Italian. Out of
lovo for the countess lie had entered her service,
and distinguished himself in every fight for her
sake. Yielding tn blind passion he confessed his
love, and was refused. Then lie conceived the
idea of revenge, and it was his ball that, in the
11 Valley of Death,” came very near ending pre
maturely the days of tho Hungarian heroine.
Fumy Anecdote of Lorenzo Dow.
Dow was very exact in the appointments he
made to preacii, and sometimes arranged them a
long way ahead. He once preached near one of
the small towns of Upper Georgia, and told his
congregation, on that day one year he would
preacii to them again !
The next season on a Saturday afternoon, pre
ceding the Sabbatli of the appointed time, the old
man was jogging along the main road in the di
rection of his congregatian. He noticed before
him a stout little negro boy, of peculiarly active
step and manner wito carried in his hand a small
tin horn, such as are used to call people to their
meals.
Tlte custom among many in the Routh is to al
low married men to go their wives’ houses, and
children to visit their parents on Saturday evening
to stay with them on Sundays, and as negroes are
musically .inclined, they carry a fife, or a horn,
or a banjo, to give tiotico of their approach,
and to beguile the way. In other cases tliey
whistle, sing or shout. A healthy, cheerful ne
gro, of honest intentions, use generally some
means of association, even if he is obliged to talk
to himself.
Dow, according toiiis usual manner, entered in
to conversation with the boy, and found he was
about to visit the congregation lie had appointed
to meet. If the truth must be told, Lorenzo, had
an idea that the character of his flock was that
of a reckless, frolicksome, kind, careless people,
upon whom it was necessary to make a very deci
ded impression, or his time would be thrown
away among them.
“ VVliat is your name, my lad?” asked Dow.
“Gabriel, sir,” replied the boy, lifting a new
straw hat, and showing his ivory while ho actively,
stepped along to keep pace witii tiie preacher’)
horse.
“ Can you blow upon that horn ?”
“Oh, yes, master I can toot & little.”
“ Well, let mo hear you.”
So tiie negro inflated his velvet cheeks, and made
the woods resound.
“Do you know a tall pine tree near the stand
at Sharon ?” said Dow.
“ Yes that I does very well master.”
liorenzu then put his hand in his pocket, and
pulling out a silver dollar, showed it to the boy,
and told him if lie would climb up in tho pine tree
before the peoplo met at tiie meeting, and keep
quiet there until the preacher called out his name,
and then blow loudly on his horn, as he had just
done, lie would give him tlte silver dollar, if lie did
not tell uuy b.idy about it. Tiie negro expressed
himself highly delighted at such an offer, and
promised punctually with secrcsy.
Ou tiie Sabbath, a large meeting assembled at
Sharon to hear tiie famous Lorenzo Dow. Seri
ous old men and their wives, wild boys and their
sweethearts, almost all on horseback, sometimss
by twos and threes, besides negroes from a great
distance on foot, being readily captivated by a nat
urally eccentric, for tliey lovo anything that has a
laugli attached to it, and they knew that Lorenzo
was good for a joke, even il he did hit hard. Dow
selected rather a brimstone text, and made the ap
plication as strong as possible, but he forced hta
way slowly among tiie mercurial, healthful, honest
hearted people, who were hard to frighten. He
enumerated the enormity of the vices he thought
to' prevail, but they were so used to them that the
words slid over them like water over a duck's
back. At length lie boldly described, in tiie calm
est kind of language, the appearances and char
acter of “ l lie last great day, and what would be
their condition when that day came. “Suppose,”
exclaimed die preacher, suddenly, and then paused
—“ that tliis were the day 1" lie saw that some of
tiie women became a little fidgety, and nodged the
fellows into silence ar.d attention. “Suppose,”
repeated lie, elevating his voice, “ that this day
Gabriel should blow Ins trump!”
At this moment the little negro showed he was
“a trump,” and from the top of tlte lofty pine, a
iuud clamorous blast overwhelmed the auuience.
Tlte women shrieked, the men rose in great sur-
prise, the horses tied round the catnp neighed,
reared and kicked, while the terrified negroes
changed llteir complexion to a dull purple color.
Never was alarm, surprise and astonishment,
more promptly exhibited.
Lorenzo Dow looked with grave but pleased at
tention upon tiie successful result of his experi
ment, until the first clamor had subsided, and some
began to estimate tho character of tlte artificial
angel, and were^ibout to apply a'little hickory after
the pine! But this suggestion was arrested by
the loud and solemn tones of tho preacher, who
looking very firmly into tho faces of his disturbed
audience, as lie leaned over them to coutinue his
discourse, impressively remarked—“And now, if
a little negro boy, with a tin horn, on the top of a
pine busli can make you feel so how will, you feel
when the day does come ?”—Spirit of the Times.
Strange calculation—tons or meat and
drink used dv one man.—Some genius has per
petrated tho following calculation:
“ I have been married 33 years, during which
time I have received from the hands of my wife
tiiree cups of coilbe each day, two in the morning
and onent night, making about 35,060 cups of a
half pint each, nearly 70 barrels of 30 gallons
each, weighing 17530 lbs. or nearly nine tons
in weight. Yet in (list period I have scarcely va
ried in weight myself from 1601ba. It will tnere-
fore bo seen, that I have drank, in coffee alone,
313 times my own weight. I am not much of an
eater, yet I presume I have coneamed about 18
ounces a day, which makes 6,806 lbs., or ten ox
en. Of flour I have consumed in 33 yean, about
60 barrels. For 30 yean of this time, I drank twe
wine glasses of brandy each day making 900
quarts, the Port Wine, Madeira, Whiskey punch,
etc., I am not able tocount, but they are not large.
When we take into account all the vegetables in
addition, such as potatoes, peas, asparagus, straw
berries, cherries, pears, peaches, nisi ns, tee., the
amount consumed by an individual is most enor
mous . Now my body has been renewed more
tlnn four times tu 33 yean; and taking it for
granted that tho water, of which I have dnnk
more, acts merely as a dilutant,yet taken togeth
er, I consider that I have consumed in 38 yean,
about the weight of MOO men of 160 Ibe. each.

then the miners went to wurk agin, and the stran
