      Ghables Lamb akd his " Dip . " — One day Mr . Lamb told us the following story of himself . He was at one part of his life ordered to the seaside for the benefit of bathing , but not possessing strength of nerve sufficient to throw himself into the water , he necessarily yielded his small person up to the discretion of two men to " plunge him , " On ike first inorning , having prepared for immersion , he placed himseif , not without trepidation , between these huge creatures , meaning to give the previous mstruetions which hiB particular case required : but . from the very agitated state he was in , from terror of what he might possibly " suffer" from a "sea change , his unfortunate impediment of speech became greater than usual ; and his infirmity prevented his direehpns being as prompt as was necessary .

      btandingtherefore , with a man at either elbow , fie began j ~ I—I ' m to be di-i-i ^ ped . " The men answered the instruction with a ready a Yes , air 1 " and in they soused him ! As soon as he rose , and could regain a portion of his lost breath , he stammered out as before , *• I—I—1—I ' m to be di—iwed-f Another hearty "Yes , sir ! " and down he went a second time . Again he rose ; and then with a struggle ( to which toe men were too much Tised on sueh occasions to heed ) , he made an effort for freedom ; but not succeeding , he articulated as at first , * I—I—I ' m to be di ^ i-i p ^ ed . " » Yes , sir y and to the bottom he went again ; when Lamb , rising for the third time to the surfitce , shouted out " » fe fPeT * to eowfJ . ** O-O-only once . "—Memoirs of Charles Mathews .

      OvER-SmnrtATios .- —With reference to the dangers of over-stimulation , the evidence of Dr . Farre , before a committee of the House of Commons in 1832 , is well worthy of an attentive perusal . I subjoin the following extracts from it : — "A physician always has respect to preservation of the restorative power , because , if once this be lost , bis healing office is at an end . * * The ordinary exertions of man run down the circulation- every day of his life , and the first general law of his nature by which God ( who is not only the giver , but also the preserver and sustainer , of life ) prevents man from destroying himself , is the alternating of day and night , that repose may succeed action . . * - ¦ Man , possessing a superior nature , is borne along by the very vigour of his mind , so that the injury of continued

      diurnal exertion and excitement on his animal system , is not so immediately apparent as it is in the brute ; but in the long-run he breaks down more suddenly ; it abridges she length of his life . * * I have frequently observed the premature death of medical men from continued exertion . I have advised the clergyman , as his Sabbath , to rest on one of the ordinary days of the week ; it forms a continual prescription of mine . " In an appendix on the above evidence , as reprinted by the Scottish Lord Day ' s Society , Dr . Farre writes -. — " The short life of over-stimulation is not a merry bnt a -miserable one ; and the shortened life of over-exer tion , before its close , is followed , not by ease and enjoyment , but by tne living death of torpor . The effect of forcing toe mind is as ruinous to the body

      as it is destructive of the end for which it is so inordinately exercised ; for , as torpor of the body from over-labour is marked by a Blnggish condition of . all the corporeal functions , so the torpor of mind consequent on its over-exertion , is attended with the like inaction of all the sensorial powers which belong to the mere animal portion of the mind of man . It occurs in men of every rank . who overthink , as well as in those who over-actor over-stimulate , and in an increased ratio when the latter &tal habit is nsed to forced the labour of the former . It is found in the Sovereign , th 6 legislator , the lawyer , the clergyman , the physician , the warrior .

      the student / or aspirant after nonours , the merchant , the manufacturer , the artisan , and the labourer : in all , in proportion" to their measure of talent and over-doing , is this slow and miserable , but premature , death , instead of a green old age , too frequently found . " These observations of an eminent physician , of more than thirty years' experience , cannot be read without advantage * Thereiv doubtless , great danger of men contracting habits of indolence ? but , in the present age-or competition and over-stimulation , there is even greater danger of running to theopposite extreme , and ending in a second childhood ^ if not worsen Chambers ' s Edinburgh Journal .

      Hikts to Working Mek . —I went into the open area adjoining the church , where I found a man leading a little child ; be seemed to have come ont to enjoy the pure air and a day of rest . Ho was reading the inscriptions on the tombstones in the church yard . He told me that he was a tailor ; that work in London was much better than usual ; that the average wages of journeyman tailors were about 15 s . a week ; that many got 25 s . or even 80 s ., which account was afterwards confirmed by my tailor : In conversation upon" rents , be told me he paid 3 s . od . in London , for a single roota , he having a small family . This is the same sum I paid in Portsmouth for a bath ; be paying 3 s . 6 d . a week for a house andliome , and 1 the same sum for a plunge into wamr water for fifteen minutes . These things are out of joint . It its plain that the poor , need not be as poor aa they Are , and that the rich ought not to be as rich as they are : compared with'the poor

      In other words , the equalising processes : are going , on , and will gc on ; but the people who are in . greatest need of the result must carry them out . ' -They nmst not , however , be delnded by gabble , by idle declarations of pretenders to patriotism , who put the unction of soft words to their souls . Every great amelioration of tne- laws must be preceded by the moral and intellectual improvement of the people , which-gives them independence of mind , ' property , and power . If a code was sent down from heaven to abolish Test Laws , Corn LawB , laws to authorise privileged persons to circulate irresponsible paper moneybased on no security , and all other monopoly laws , that alone would not be enough ; there would be still wanting the moral determination , temperanoe , prudence ; the abandonment of thaJsluttonouB , nciousTdram-drinking practices , by which the people waste their property and make themselves slaves there would still bft wanting the virtuous , popular Bentiaent , to « nRJfefe > QBjtMB , encourage one w ««

I was to perform in a new pJece . somethinK like those pretty little affecting dramas thev set up t » W at tbe minor theatres , and in my character I represented a poor friendless jgtrl , reduced to the most wretched poverty . A heartless tradesman persecutes the sad heroine for a heavy debt owing to him by her family , and insists on-putting her in prison , unless some one willbebailforher . The girl replies , Then I have no hope—I have not a friend in the world . ' * What , will no one go bail for you , to save you from prison ? ' asks the stern creditor .

      I have told you I have not a friend upon earth , ' was my reply . But just as I was uttering the words , n » y eyes were attracted by the movement ofa sailor in the upper gallery , who , springing over the railing , was letting himself down from one tier to another , until fiually reachinz the jai he bounded clear over the orchestra and foot-lights , and placed himself beside me'ia t . moment , before I could believe the evidence of my senses .
