Past experience has proven that the neighborhoods where they take place noravages of the grasshoppers on grain are often endangered. Of the turf can be said. In England sown in the fall are not near so destruc thing good races are an unmingled abomination, tive as on grain sown in the spring. The where drunkenness, lasciviousnees, reasons for this are very obvious. Grain and hold gambling high carsown in the fall gets such a start, that profanity by the time these destructive insects are nival. In America the same influences able to do much mischief, it is' so far and associations prevail to a great ex matured that they can damage it but tent in connection with the turf. In the theatres this low depraved slightly. With grain sown in the spring taste it is otherwise. The .'hoppers" and it Is is pandered to.

This was the case on their first visi- cency of the drama, or the eensuousncss tation in the Spring of 1S53; and the of the music. By such means the nerves same has been the case more or less are jaded instead of rested, and the senwith grain sown in the Spring for the ses stimulated instead of appeased. The above is a severe criticism on the past two years.

' OVER-EATIN- G. - I- ; the-tabl- -- ,f ! r BOO maintain towards their ' own interior economy, they are the most universally on the globe. It la not, afflicted people as a1 general thing, overwork,, that causes the sallow complexion, the staring eyes, the restless countenance, the trembling hands, so commonly? seen among us; but it is work when in a state of repletion. Somebody or .other was starved to death in the midst of a feast; but a Yankee starves after the feast. He so overloads his system that he gets no nourishment from his food. Nature has to expend all her power in freeing herself from the burden imposed upon her. Like a charity ball, the expenses eat up the receipts, and leave nothing for the poor sufferer. An Englishman eats not less; perhaps even more, but then he gives himself some opportunity to rest; he does not hurry about as if pursued by avenging furies; he does what he does soberly and deliberately, and has greater nerve power left to make him perform the, to him and to everybody, serious work of digestion. Probably not one American in ten contents himself with a sufficient supply of food; not one in a hundred obeys the salutary rule to rise before is wholy gone. Of those who- appetite exceed. some do so in a greater and some in a less degree, but in every case to the in loss of physical jury ; of health and the and mental power, r The economical - considerations are of no mean account. When we recollect how large a portion of our time has to be given up to providing for physical necessities, when it might otherwise do employed In intellectual culture or social enjoyment. there can be no question of the import ance of this element of the problem of dally life. The renebman is the mo del of true living, so far as regards food The peasant takes his dinner with him intohe field, and when the hour comes, regales himself on a hand ful of sorrel and two or three slices of coarse bread, where a Yankee or an would be devouring English farmer or or porK, ana the oiocks beer great American at least huge wedges of coacentrated indigestibilities called pie. The result is that a French peasant family will live decently and happily on a less sum than a poor English fam-ll- v will waste. The French artisan. though not quite bo primitive, is yet a miracle or frugality in aiec, compared with his neighbor across the channel or across the western sea. And the re sult of this is that English manufactures; even in England's speciality, iron and steel, are being crowded out with free trade from the French mar ket; and French locomotive builders are enabled to underbid their English competitors for German and Bussian contracts. ' These economical advantages would be valueless if they did not run in the same direction with the moral and so cial considerations of the case; but they do More intellectual power and social vivacity is suppressed, neutralized, dethan by the use stroyed, by of both stimulants and narcotics. The records of scholarship and of statesmanship, with very rare exceptions, prove that perfect temperance and in diet are the conditions of great ness land inlluence, and, on a lower scaie, common oDservauon in our schools, in our professions', and eveh in our business, shows that nothing is so formidable and ratal an enemy to alertness, activity, enterprise, and even to geniality, as the gormandizing propensities of our people.. The French vivacity and cheerf ulness of temper is not to the national habitfin owing solely to but it is incompatible food, regard with the contrary habit. This matter of is more of a practical thing than we make It. The habit is generally formed in childhood. By little and little the appetite, or rather the demand, for food is increased. Children sare even encouraged to eat, after anything like real appetite has disappeared. The plan of portions,, which is adopted from necessity in so many houses, is really tho kindest. But if the parents will not take the trouble which this imposes, or plead that as long as nature craves food it must need it, the rule should, for the best interests of the child, be invariable, that, after a reasonable indulgence only thesimplest fare, without anything to tempt the appetite, should be supplied. There would be no great danger of forming a habit of gormandizing upon plain bread; whereas a child will stuff itself with pies and cakes long after anything like real hunger has ceased. It is an humble sub ject, but nothing connects itself more with health and happiness in after life; and if our moralists would leave loftier themes and come down for a while to this, they might accomplish more real good than by fixing the centre of moral obligation to the fraction of a second.
