Directions And Observations Relative To Food.
That which is eaten in the summer ought to be easier of concoction than that which is eaten in the winter . "" ¦ The flesh which is eaten in the summer ought in the general to be boiled ; and that which is eaten in the winter ought in the general to be roasted : but it never ought to be over-boiled or over-roasted ; because it would thereby be in some measure deprived of its more nutritious juices .
The liquor , which is drunk after the eating part of a meal is finished , ought not to be so strong in summer as in the winter . In the spring and autumn a middle way , both as to the quantity and quality of what is eaten or drank , between that which ought to be done in summer and that which ought to be done in winter , should be pursued .

SIR , THAT eminent philanthropist Mr . Jonas Hanway has not exchanged this ' world for a better long enough to be as yet out of the remembrance of those that knew and revered his virtues . To such as loved and esteemed him as hi ghly as your present correspondentnothing which serves as an additional illustration of his
charac-, ter will be looked upon with an eye of indifference . And from this persuasion I am induced to send you the following inscription , found , on the removal of his effects from his dwelling-house in Red-lionsquare , on a large copper-plate , three feet eight inches by two feet seven inches , in a g ilt frame . It was secreted behind a chest of drawers ; and on a strip of paper was written ,
" To be delivered to one of my executors , if he thinks it worth his acceptance . " His executor not only thought it worth } ' of his acceptance , but of a place in the room iu which he generally lives ; and very few days pass over his head wherein he does not look at it with a particular application of his mind to the character of his friend , who has caused
himself to be represented under the three following descriptions : I . An Infant weeping : 2 . A Youth shipwrecked : 3 . An old Man dead on his Pillow . Each of these pictures has a surrounding inscription . The first : ' f Man is born to sorrow , as the sparks fly upwards . " The second :
" On my fleeting hours depends eternity . " On this youth is an hour-glass , and , at his feet , a scroll , on which is inscribed the family-motto , " Never despair . " The third inscription is , _ ' Dust thou art , and unto dust thou shalt return . ' '
