The Sensation of traying.
For the first two (lays, through which
S
a strong and healthy man is doomed -to
-exist upon nothing, his sufferings are,
perhaps, more acute than inthe remain.-
ing stages --he feels an inordinate, un-
speakable craving at the stomach night
and. day. The mind lams upon beef,
bread, and other substantiale ; but still,
in. a great measure, the body retains its
strength. On the third and fourth clays,
but especially on the fourth, this inees-
sant craving gives place to a sinking
and a wealtless of the stomach, accom-
panied' by a nausea. The urtfortmiate ,
sufferer still desires food, but -with loss 1
of strengtb he loses that eager craving
whicli is felt in the earliest stages, I
Should he chanes to obtain a naorsel or
two of food, he swallows it with a wolf-
ish avidity; but five minutes witerward
his sufferings are more intense than
ever. He feels as if he had swallowed .
a live lobster, which is elawing and .
feeding upon the very foundation of his
existence.
On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly
appear hollow and sunken, his body at-
tenuated, his color is ashen pale, and -
his eyes are wild, glassy and cannibal-
ish. The different parts of the system
now warevith each other. The stomach
ails upon the legs to go with it in quest
of food; the legs, from very weakness,
refuse. The sixth day brings with it in- s,
creased. suffering, although the pangs of
- hunger are lost in an overpowering
languor and. sickness. The head be-
comes giddy—the ghost of well-remems
bered 'dinners pass in hideous proces-
sion through his mind. The seventh .
day comes, bringing increased lassitude
and further prostration of strength.
The arms hang listlessly; the legs drag
heavily; the desire for food is still felt,
to a degree, but it must be brought, not
• sought. The miserable remnant of life
which still hangs to the sufferer is a
burden almost too grievous to be borne;
yet his 'inherent love of existence in-
duces a desire to preserve it, if it ean be
saved without a tax upon bodily exer.
ton. • The mind wanders. At one mo-
ment he thinks his weary limbs cannot i!
sustain him a mile; the next he, is en- -
dewed. with unnatural strength, and if
there be a certainty of relief before him, ,
dashes bravely and. strongly forward,
wondering whence proceeds his new and
sudden impulse.
Guelph's Oratory.
The following is a specimen of the t
oratory indulged in by the Municipal
Councilors of the Town of -Guelph: At t
a recent meeting, Dr. Clarke, amid.
roars ef laughter, then got off his cul-
minating speech. He had been aDeliSed
of incompetency by the papers :
North Ward electors hail elected him
by acclamation; and he would leave it to
them whether he was incompetent. He
had beer, accused 02 insobriety ; he
would point out a life of 30 years in
-
Guelph to contradict the StIttellivIlt.
