As the system /is formed and operated on the principle of constant waste, a new supply of material is absolutely essential to its existence; and the feelings of hunger and thirst are introduced to urge the sentient being to furnish this neccssary supply. These feelings increase in violence in proportion to the urgency of the system for their gratification, until, at the approach of death, the raging*, especially of thirst, become absolutely intolerable.

THE CRIMINAL WITNESS. In the spring of 184G I was called to Jackson, Alabama, to attend court, having been engaged to defend a young man who had been accused ot robbing the rnuil. I arrived early in the morning, and immediately had »long conference with my client. The stolon mail bag had been recovered, us well as thC letters from which the money had been rifled. These letters were given me for examination, and I returned them to the prosecutiug attorney. Having got through my private preliminaries about noon, and as the case would not come off before the next day, I went into court in th» afternoon to sec what was going on — The first case that came up was one of theft) and the prisoner was a young girl, not more than seventeen years of age, named Elizabeth Madworth. She was very pretty, aud bore that mild, inooccnt look which we seldom find in a culprit. She had been weeping protuxely, but as she found so many eyes upon her, she became too frightened to weep more. M ANT At MAKING.—Mrs. 8. J.

And now I will only add, it is plain to see bow the hundred dollars were disposed of: Seventy-five dollars were sent off for safe-keeping, while the remaining twenty-five dollars were placed in the prisoner's trunk for the purpose of covering the real criminal.
