Plato, we are told, upon being asked when he had returned to Athens from his travels in Sicily, what he had seen that was curious while abroad, replied, " I have beheld a monster in na- ture-a man who ate two full meals in a day."
The expression, "two full meals," is so vague and indefinite, that it is difficult to judge from it whether the individual was really deserving of the epithet monster. If, however, as is very evidently the case from the expression attributed to Plato in the Greck, by a full meal is meant the cating of as much food as the stomach will receive-to partake of one such in the course of the day would, to say the least of it, indicate that the individual was very little solicitous for the preservation of his health. There | is no period of the twenty four hours when such repletion is admissible.

WHEN SHALL I DINE?
Many of our readers are probably not aware that the question which stands at the head of this article has been the subject of grave and lengthy disputes ; and that not a few very learned and pithy treatises have been written with a view to its solution. A physician of our own country published, about the middle of the eighteenth century, a very sensible essay, to prove that we should eat but one full meal in the day, and this in the evening. To establish his point, he cites the precepts of' many of the illus- trious dead, and the examples of various nations, in times gone by, " from the rude savage to the polished Greck," not forgetting to draw an argument even from the habits of the brute creation.

The preservation of the sight is an object of so much impor- tance to every individual, whatever may be his profession or rank in society, that we have thought a few hints in relation to this subject might be productive of beneficial effects.

ANECDOTE OF THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER .- The Emperor was accustomed to travel with the utmost rapidity. On a certain occasion his Majesty, fa- tigued by having remained a long time in his car- riage, alighted, and, unaccompanied by any of his suite, pursued his way on foot through a village that lay before him. The Autocrat of all the Russians was attired in his usual costume,-a military great coat without any particular mark of distinction. Desi-
rous of obtaining some information respecting th road he was pursuing, he accosted a military-looking personage, who stood smoking a cigar at the doo of a house. To each of the Emperor's questions the stranger replied in the most uncourteous manner and by way of terminating the ungracious parley- " Allow me to ask," said Alexander, " what may bi your military rank ?"-"Gucss"-"Perhaps, sir, you may be a lieutenant?"-"Higher, if you please"- "Captain?" "Ancther step."-"Major?"-"Go on, ge on."-"Lieutenant-Colonel, I presume?"-"You have hit it at last, though not without effort." These words were pronounced in a tone of arrogance; and the several answers in the preceding dialogue, were accompanied by a cloud of smoke puffed full in the Emperor's face. Now comes my turn, good Mr. Traveller," said the Officer :- "Prey what may be your military rank?"-"Gucss."-" Well, then, at the first glance, I should say-"Captain?"-"High- er, if you please."-" Major?"-" Go on, if you ' please."-"Lieutenant-Colonel?"-"Pray, go on."-

Bodily Exercise in Early Life .- To fetter the active motions 19 sets of children, as soon as they have acquired the use of their limbs, is a barbarous opposition to nature; and to do so, under 20 6 22 6 251 6 24 6 26 7 26 a pretence of'improving their minds and manners, is an insult to 21 22 8 25 8 25 22 23' 8 26 8 25 9 25 9 25 common sense. It may, indeed, be the way to train up ener- vated puppets, or short-lived prodigies of learning ; but never to 24 10 28 10 27 10 26 10 25 10 18 form healthy, well-informed, and accomplished men or women. 25.11 32 11 30 11 29 11 28 11 17 Every feeling individual must behold, with much heart-'cht con- 26 morn morn morn morn morn 27 0 38 0 35 0 34 0 32 cern, poor little puny creatures, of eight, ten, or twelve years of 0 17 age, exhibited by their silly parents as proficients in learning, or 28 1 42 1 39 1 38: 1 36| 1 18 as distinguished for their early proficiency in languages, clo-

But could I imagine that the Emperor- -"-" Iam not offended; and to prove it, if you have a favour toask 1 will grant it with pleasure."
An Irish sailor riding on horseback, stopped, for a few moments, when the horse in beating off the flies, caught his hind foot in the stirrup-"Avast, avast, dobbin," cried," the sailor; "if you are ... going to get on, I'll get off, for I'll not ride double with you."
unimpaired, must avoid carefully every species of intemperance. This is an all-important rule, a neglect of which will rende 3 27 every other of but little avail.
A long continuance in absolute darkness, or frequent and pro- 5 37 tracted exposure to a blaze of light, equally injures the sense of vision.
Persons who live almost constantly in dark caverns or cham. bers, workers in mines, and prisoners who have been long confined in gloomy dungcons, become incapable of seeing objects distinctly excepting in a deep shade, or in the dusk of the even-
ing. While on the other hand, in various parts of the world, in which the light is constantly reflected froin a soil of dazzling whiteness, or from mountains and plains covered with alnost perpetual snow, the sight of the inhabitants is perfect only in broad day light, or at noon.
Those, also, who are much exposed to bright fires, as black- smiths, glassmen, forgers, and others engaged in similar employ. ments, are considered, by the best authorities, as most subject to loss of sight from cataract.

ANECDOTE. OF PARROTS .- Parrots, like cookons, 111 111111 form their notes deep in the throat, and show great aptitude in imitating the human voice. A meet re. markable instance Lmet with nt Mr. Braham's vil- la in Brompton. A lady, who had great admiration ; for his talents, presented him with a perrot, on ? which she had bestowed great pains in teaching it to talk. After dinner, during a panse in the conversa. ' tion, I was startled by a voice from one corner of the room calling out, in a strong hearty marner, "Come, Braham, give ns a song " Nothing cneld exceed the surprise and admiration of the company. The request bring repeated, and not answered, the parrot struck up the first verse of God save the king, in a clear, warbling tone, auning at the style of the singer, and sang it through. The case with which ... this bird was taught was cqually surprising with the performance. The same lady prepared him to ac- cost Catalini, when ding with Mr. Braham, which so alarmed Madathe, that she nearly fell from Her chair. Upon his commencing Rule Britannia in a

loud and intrepid tonc, the chantress fell on her knees before the bird, expressing, in terms of delight, her admiration of its talents .- This parrot has only been exceeded by Lord Kellcy's, who, upon being asked to sing, replied-"I never sing on a Sunday." "Never mind that, PoH, come give us a song." "No, excuse me, I've got a cold-don't you hear how .hoarse I am?" This extraordinary creature perfor- med the three verses entire of God save the King, words and music, without hesitation, from the bc- ginning to the end. - Music of Nature.
SINGULAR STRATAGEM OF A LADY .- The Emperor Allah having defeated and taken captive the Rajah of Chittore, one of the greatest Rajpoot princes, of- fered him liberty on the condition of adding to the imperial seraglio his daughter, reputed one of the most beautiful and accomplished princesses of the age. The rajah, overcome by distress, gave a re-
luctant consent; but the young lady, regarding the proposal as full of the deepest dislionour, obtained leave, to make trial of a plan which she had con- trived for saving her father. She announced hci readiness to accede to the marriage, and having pro- cured a passport from the imperial court, fitted ou' a long train of close travelling-chairs, in the most splendid of which she herself was understood to take her scat. The procession advanced to Delhi, and or its arrival an carnest request was made on the part of the princess that she should without delay be al. lowed an interview with her parent. A petition se natural was readily granted; and the whole train was admitted into his prison. The chairs being thier opened, gave out, not a fair retinue of female atten dants, but like the Trojan horse, a band of hardy warriors clad in full armour, who instantly cut ir pieces the guards, snatched up the monarch, and having placed him on the horse, soon eluded pursuit
