countries confectionery and fruits awaited tho pally in a room still more sumptuous where vessels of imi filligree containing the rarest and most fragrant spices were handed round such was beckford's mode of life dur ing this journey returning at the commencement of the present century to his native country beckford again abandoned himself to die selfish enjoyment nl his wealth taking a capricious dislike to a splendid mansion on his e-tate which had been erected bf his father at a cost of 1,400,000 he or dered it to be pulled down he resolved that phoenix-like there should arise from its ruins a building which should surpass in magnificence ail that hitherto had been known in english art eonthill abbey once one of the wonders of the west of england was the result of this determina tion whole galleries of that vast pile wei erected solely for the purpose of en abling 1 leek ford to em bin ill on their w in dows the lie of the families from whom he boasted his descent the wonder of the fabric however was a tower of co lossal dimensions and great height erect ed somewhat in the manner and spirit of those wlm once reared a similar structure mi the plains of shiuar j to ut us build a tower wh top may reacli unt heaven ; and let u make u a inline i complete the erection ot i'-eel ford's tower four hundred and sixtv men were employed both night and day through an entire winter the torches used by the noc t a rnal workmen be inn visible to the astou i-heil travel rs at miles distant beck i'.,ml j iucip il iij unlit was watching , reetion of this sti ucture at night fall he would rep me elevated part of his grounds and there in bolitude would feubt his senses for hours with the biugular spectacle presented by the dancing ol tl e lights and the ri flee . u of i biirrouuding wot nl tin i.nil.ling was iinlc.nl beck ford's idol the object for which he lived ho devoted the w hole of hi energies to make it realize the mosl fascinating visions of a vain imagination the tower was finally erected but as might in expected the mortar and cement nsed had no timet to set properly ere a violent gale of wind brought the vast structure t.i the ground merely remarking that im should have been hid to witness the sublime fall of such i iii.i - of materials he uuve orders for the erection of another tower of 276 feel in height ; this also fell to the ground iii 18 after the completion of tin abbey beck ford's conduct was still inure extra ordinary a wall nearly two miles in inference surrounded his mansion and within this circle scarcely any visit ors were allowed to pass in billion gran dour he dweit alone bhunning converse with the whole world majesty itsolf was desirous of visiting this wonderful domain but was refused admittance strangers would disguise themselves as bervanfs as poasants or as podlers in the hope of catching a glimpse of its glories nor was its interior unworthy of this cu v all that art and wealth could give to produce effect was there add and silver vessels and cups says one who saw the place are so numerous bene thai they dazzle tho eye and when one looks round at the cabinets candela bias and ornaments which decorate the room we may almost imagine that we stand in the treasury of isoiiio oriental prince whose riches consist entirely of vessels of gold and silver enriched with precious stones of every sort from the ruby to ide diamond such was beckford of lauithill with an income of more than 500,000 per an num lie seemed above the reach of ad ver.-e fortune who would have ventur ed to style all this evauescont

refused ad mittance to a monarch were rudely thrust open by a sheriff officer tiie mansion erected at so vast an expense was sold the greater part of its costly treasures wcii scattered by the hammer of the auc tioneer and beckford driven with the shattered fragments of ids fortune to spend a solitary old age at a watering place there to moralize on the instabili ty of wealth ; there to feel how little pleasure the retrospect of neglected tal ents can give and to point the oft-told mui.a of the sanity of human affairs he fell it is said unpitied by any — | the tower which he had erected at so great a cost fell to the ground and font : hill abbey was pulled down by its new owner thus melted away like frost-work before the sun the extravagant produc tions of a man of wealth his whole life had been a sad misapplication of tho talents committed to his care and in the end he discovered that he had been cheat ed by the mirage though beck ford's princely lavishne cans i him to be talked about all over the world his true claim to remembrance rests upon talents as an author and his genius as displayed in the wild and sin gular oriental tale of " v"athek which is so splendid in

eating how much we might eat and upon how little we might live are curious mat ters of speculation ami in an article on the subject in an english /•'< vii "*, we find the following suggestive facts the accounts which travellers of the quantity of food whieli can be con sumed are extraordinary sir john ross estimates that an esquimaux will eat per haps twenty pounds of flesh and oil daily compare this with valentin's six pounds or with comoro's twelve ounces of solids and fourteen ounces of witie ! captain parry tried as a matter of curiosity how timc'i tin esquimaux lad who was scarce ly full grown would consume if left to himself the following articles were weighed before being given lie was twenty hours getting through them and certainly did not consider the quantity extraordinary seahorse flesh,hard frozen four pounds tour ounces ; do do boiled four pounds four dunces ; bread and bread dust one pound and twelve ounces total ten pounds and four ounces to this must be added one and a quarter pints of rich gravy-soup three wine-lasses of raw spirits one tumbler of strong grog and one gallon one pint of water captain cochrane in hi journey through rus sian and siberian tartry relates that the admiral saritclietl'was informed that one of the vaktiti ate in four and twenty hours the hind quarters of tt large ox twenty pounds oi fat and a proportionate quantity of melted butter tor his drink to test the truth of this statement the admiral gave him a thick porridge of rice boiled down with three pounds of i butter weighing together twenty-eight pounds and although the glutton had al ready breakfasted he sat down to it with great eagerness and consumed the whole without stirring from the spot captain cochrane also states that he has seen t breo \ iktitis devour a reindeer at a meal and a call weighing about two hundred pounds is not too much for a meal lor five of these gluttons some caterpillars daily eat double their weight in food ; a cow eats forty-six pounds daily and a mouse eats eight times as much in proportion to its own weight as is eaten by a man but when such facts are cited we must bear in mind the enormous differences in the nature of the food thus weighed their relative amount of water and the indigestible material the nine caution is requisite in speaking of man's diet . ♦ » resist tiie beginning the arabs have a fable of a miller

if he show no sign of repentance he ought then to be dealt with as iu other ea-es of immorality ;" that is set aside as a profane fellow dangerous to good mor als it may perhaps give some force to this counsel when i tell you that not long ago a preacher used this style of re proof toward a noisy drunkard who had strayed into church he was not 6o drunk however as to be forsaken of his w-it for

countries confectionery and fruits awaited tho pally in a room still more sumptuous where vessels of imi filligree containing the rarest and most fragrant spices were handed round such was beckford's mode of life dur ing this journey returning at the commencement of the present century to his native country beckford again abandoned himself to die selfish enjoyment nl his wealth taking a capricious dislike to a splendid mansion on his e-tate which had been erected bf his father at a cost of 1,400,000 he or dered it to be pulled down he resolved that phoenix-like there should arise from its ruins a building which should surpass in magnificence ail that hitherto had been known in english art eonthill abbey once one of the wonders of the west of england was the result of this determina tion whole galleries of that vast pile wei erected solely for the purpose of en abling 1 leek ford to em bin ill on their w in dows the lie of the families from whom he boasted his descent the wonder of the fabric however was a tower of co lossal dimensions and great height erect ed somewhat in the manner and spirit of those wlm once reared a similar structure mi the plains of shiuar j to ut us build a tower wh top may reacli unt heaven ; and let u make u a inline i complete the erection ot i'-eel ford's tower four hundred and sixtv men were employed both night and day through an entire winter the torches used by the noc t a rnal workmen be inn visible to the astou i-heil travel rs at miles distant beck i'.,ml j iucip il iij unlit was watching , reetion of this sti ucture at night fall he would

nl tin i.nil.ling was iinlc.nl beck ford's idol the object for which he lived ho devoted the w hole of hi energies to make it realize the mosl fascinating visions of a vain imagination the tower was finally erected but as might in expected the mortar and cement nsed had no timet to set properly ere a violent gale of wind brought the vast structure t.i the ground merely remarking that im should have been hid to witness the sublime fall of such i iii.i - of materials he uuve orders for the erection of another tower of 276 feel in height ; this also fell to the ground iii 18 after the completion of tin abbey beck ford's conduct was still inure extra ordinary a wall nearly two miles in inference surrounded his mansion and within this circle scarcely any visit ors were allowed to pass in billion gran dour he dweit alone bhunning converse with the whole world majesty itsolf was desirous of visiting this wonderful domain but was refused admittance strangers would disguise themselves as bervanfs as poasants or as podlers in the hope of catching a glimpse of its glories nor was its interior unworthy of this cu v all that art and wealth could give to produce effect was there add and silver vessels and cups says one who saw the place are so numerous bene thai they dazzle tho eye and when one looks round at the cabinets candela bias and ornaments which decorate the room we may almost imagine that we stand in the treasury of isoiiio oriental prince whose riches consist entirely of vessels of gold and silver enriched with precious stones of every sort from the ruby to ide diamond such was beckford of lauithill with an income of more than 500,000 per an num lie seemed above the reach of ad ver.-e fortune who would have ventur ed to style all this evauescont

refused ad mittance to a monarch were rudely thrust open by a sheriff officer tiie mansion erected at so vast an expense was sold the greater part of its costly treasures wcii scattered by the hammer of the auc tioneer and beckford driven with the shattered fragments of ids fortune to spend a solitary old age at a watering place there to moralize on the instabili ty of wealth ; there to feel how little pleasure the retrospect of neglected tal ents can give and to point the oft-told mui.a of the sanity of human affairs he fell it is said unpitied by any — | the tower which he had erected at so great a cost fell to the ground and font : hill abbey was pulled down by its new owner thus melted away like frost-work before the sun the extravagant produc tions of a man of wealth his whole life had been a sad misapplication of tho talents committed to his care and in the end he discovered that he had been cheat ed by the mirage though beck ford's princely lavishne cans i him to be talked about all over the world his true claim to remembrance rests upon talents as an author and his genius as displayed in the wild and sin gular oriental tale of " v"athek which is so splendid in

eating how much we might eat and upon how little we might live are curious mat ters of speculation ami in an article on the subject in an english /•'< vii "*, we find the following suggestive facts the accounts which travellers of the quantity of food whieli can be con sumed are extraordinary sir john ross estimates that an esquimaux will eat per haps twenty pounds of flesh and oil daily compare this with valentin's six pounds or with comoro's twelve ounces of solids and fourteen ounces of witie ! captain parry tried as a matter of curiosity how timc'i tin esquimaux lad who was scarce ly full grown would consume if left to himself the following articles were weighed before being given lie was twenty hours getting through them and certainly did not consider the quantity extraordinary seahorse flesh,hard frozen four pounds tour ounces ; do do boiled four pounds four dunces ; bread and bread dust one pound and twelve ounces total ten pounds and four ounces to this must be added one and a quarter pints of rich gravy-soup three wine-lasses of raw spirits one tumbler of strong grog and one gallon one pint of water captain cochrane in hi journey through rus sian and siberian tartry relates that the admiral saritclietl'was informed that one of the vaktiti ate in four and twenty hours the hind quarters of tt large ox twenty pounds oi fat and a proportionate quantity of melted butter tor his drink to test the truth of this statement the admiral gave him a thick porridge of rice boiled down with three pounds of i butter weighing together twenty-eight pounds and although the glutton had al ready breakfasted he sat down to it with great eagerness and consumed the whole without stirring from the spot captain cochrane also states that he has seen t breo \ iktitis devour a reindeer at a meal and a call weighing about two hundred pounds is not too much for a meal lor five of these gluttons some caterpillars daily eat double their weight in food ; a cow eats forty-six pounds daily and a mouse eats eight times as much in proportion to its own weight as is eaten by a man but when such facts are cited we must bear in mind the enormous differences in the nature of the food thus weighed their relative amount of water and the indigestible material the nine caution is requisite in speaking of man's diet . ♦ » resist tiie beginning the arabs have a fable of a miller
