My Lady's Satchal.

Bo yon liked that extract about the] ear ? Then, I cannot do better than go On to quote what the same writer has to sbj of the tongue, Hefaays •Of all the I organs of the senses, that of taste, which may be held to be represented simply by the tongaa, is probably the one which recedes the worst usage at our hands. The eye, the ear, and the nose are not educated at all, or their education is left to chance, bat the tongue is deli berately mia-edacated, perverted, and led astray. We eat what we should aot eat, we drink what we fhould not drink 3 eat too m'ich of what we may eat, and driak too much of what we may drink, and the result ip, that we rain oar health, enfeeble our bodies, dull bur intellects, brutaliae onr feelings ftiid harden our hearts, If the tongue could be allowed to speak for itself, instead of being compelled by the other organs of the body only to speak for them, it would protest loadiy ag ainst the treatment it receives. Many a pipeful of poisonous tobacco, and glass of worse liquor, and plateful of ill cooked meat and wasteful dinner, and heavy supper would find such a clamour raised against it by the tongue that it would fail to find entrance into the month. ; , , As it ia the ton gue Is the slave of the rest of the body, as well as of the soul, The heart says, stake love foe me, and the tongue makes love for the heart j the brain Bays, discourse for me, and the tongue discourses for the brain, the soul says pray for me, sing for me, curse for me, tell lies for mo, and the tongue prays, sings, caraea and tells lies for the soul. ; , « What universal consternation would be created, if some fine morning we were all awakened by our tongues talking to us instead of for us S If our toognea had such power, all social feasting would be at an end and a din ner even of herbs conld not be eaten In peace, if a single rebellious tongue were left to criticise it. What credit would remain to physicians if the ton goes of their patients conld reproach them for all the ill-judged drugs they administered ? What rest could a sel fish world have if the tongues of all the (amine«stricken bangsrers on the face of the earth were night and day to cry unto it for food 1 No ! It could not be, There is within oar hearts another ton gae s which calls itself conscience, and is the slave of no organ or faculty of body or soul, bat the lord of them all. It will noli be stopped m its unceasing truth tellings, and if we will not heed its eilenlj accusing^, we would net listen to the open upbraidiogs of oar tongues. 1 will only touch upon the interesting, but difficult question of the aesthetics of taste—for it has its legitimate seathetical domain, and it is as unworthy of a man's true dignity that he should be content to live upon thehuska that the swine do eat, as that he should be miserable if he do not fare sumptuously every day. All the other senses have direct interest m the prac tical decisions of the sense of taste. Drunkenness and dyspepsia dim the eye, dull the ear, blunt the nostril, and make the hand tremble, In this coun try, alao, they are aa mach occasioned, director indireatly, by the unpalatable food, which the untrained hand of the ignorant house-mother provides for the working man's familj, as they are by the too tempting viands with which his well-salaried French cook loads the rich maa's table. Till, fndoed, both rich and poor understand better the laws of health, and put moro exten sively m practice the plentiful dis •overies of science, m, relation to the wisest way of dealing wkh thrnaselves physically, we must be prepared to witness enormous wastp, not only of focd and money, but (f the bodies and souls of. men. The sense of taste is denied the free and liberal gratification, which is accurd >d to the other senses , . The mouth is a helper expectant, which ia not filled merely by being opened : md all the other senses must labour till they aro weary before taate c«n ba oven slightly gratifi-'d. The gems of taste, m truth, is ft tho mercy of the other senses; and though it can revenge itself for their neglect or mie ose of it, it is a sufferer by its own revenge.. Moreover, it is selfish m a way no other sense is, The eye of man is robbed of no delight, because the eye of another is gassing on the same beauti ful object, nay, often its delight is thereby increased ;, the ear is quickened to a keener pleasure when it is not a solitary listener; and the nostril asks bo monopoly of the scents it loses. But the most generous of men cannot share his morsel, as be can his music, even with her he loves best. We reduce our selves to mere animals if wo give this sense pre-eminence, since it ia glorified only by association with the others but it is entitled to its Bhuro m tho honours assigned to the united five ; to employ one's tongue, however, to speak against itself is but unhandsome treatment of it,, and I will 0«y no more on this matter."'

WITHOUT RESPECT The laws are administered without respect to peraoos, and Constipation i 3 very much like the law—it reepeoia no one. Who has cot suffered; from Constipation ? And yet if people but knew the dangers of Constipation greater care would be taken to keep clear of m. Constipation is caused by the blocking up of the excretary organs—tha natural aawsr of the body —with fce:id matte- which poiaons the blood.
