U . , I . .. - From the jVra) England Galaxy, FAT FOLKS. Fai folks! I hate 'em. It's a downright outrage upon th community to be lugging round a great fat paunch in their rery face and eyes! It's a malignant libel on humanity to plead guilty to that enormous protuberance of belly, which may, not without propriety, be termed going the whoU hog. Let the cold-water fanatics rail a9 much as they please ngaiust the hard drinkers they are not a tithe as offensive as your downright Imrd-earcri. Who can endure to see the wretches eat! 1 was ui an ordinary t'other day. There was a huge fellow opposite to me. While I was playing with the wing of a boilsd chickeu and tenderly dipping into the bowels of a roasted tomato the fiend had bolted three huge platters of roasted pig smothered in onion sauce . 'Waxier! I ll trouble you for a bit more of yovr roasted pork sung out my fat foe opposite . Ye Gods! I could sit no longer. Dashing down my knife and fork on the table, and casting a glance of unutterable and withering scorn at the brute ! lied, I couldn't eat again for a week. Faugh! The bare reminiscence nauseated : I'm n wee pawkey creature, Messrs Editors, and it gives my very soul to w itness the deferential respect paid by all classes of people to those huge belly gods Look at them when they travel. Theirs the landlord's most deferential bow and most commodious room. Theirs, the peat of honor at my host's table where, (courfes on their shiny faces) fish, flesh and fowls vanifch under their obscenely rapacious jaws, like a wreath of mist before n hurricane. Theirs, is the most luxuries. r,rfi0n 0f the mail-coach while 'poor is tucked a way in a corner. in the name of Heaven, if these JS monsters ui inrtude tluir obe o a public conveyance why will t pay by the square yard tor the ' hey really occupy.

How many Jmticee of the Peace and of the im, ay and Cuslos Hotulorum too e about. air round bellisj, with fat capon lind, ittingon, as they should do, bowels rrcy, but putting forth unmerciful! bowels. I put it to you, worthy Lcrtors, do you believe that the decreasing influence of ministers of the gospel can be juitly attributed to any thing else than Jack of portly paunches7 Wasn't there (omething edifying in hearing a corpulent paison pour forth a rapturous effusion in praise of etherial essences and spritual sublimations! Who of the ancient biblical heroes was. it, Messrs Editors, that waxed fat and kich e-i,1 and is not au unfortunate propensity for kicking the distinguished attribute of all fat folks from his day to our? never, in the whole course of my experience in society, knevr a fat man to be truly meek and lowly-minded did you? lu-j deed, how can we expect them to be so, trailing perpetually about them, as they do, the insignia of their personal conserpifince. Their very tread makes a great noise in the world. And gentlemen while my puny body hardly gels a wink from a cow the whole world stand gazing open mouthed at my d d big-bellied neighbor. Now, gentlemen, I have no wish to breed intestine broils in our happy rerepublic but 1 can no longer stoxnach this state of things. I hate all fat people, from merry old Jack Falstaff down to the great Daniel Lambert, and they shall feel the weight of my indignation in your columns, Messrs Editors; that is, if you iv ill give me lighting room, and 1 doubt not you will, when I declare that one great reason why 1 subscribe for the Galaxy is, that you e re a couple of wiry, gritty little clnpe, not over burthened with bellied. Yours, Four feet eleven. HOPE. What is the bigots touch. th tyrants chain 1 A fniile on death, if Heavenward hope remain. However severely some may censure Hope as an arch-deluder, a parasite, a restless and insatiable anooyer of the mind, and shower epithets and abuse upon it, yet it nevertheless remains as in primeval purity, the most precious bequest ever bestowed on man. I am far from sub scribing to the singular ooctrine ot a cer-i tain reformer of the present day, who declared that "If Hope were struck from ex istence, mankind would be supremely ben elited.44' On the contrary, 1 am firmly of the opinion, that were hope destroyed, man would be "supremely'' miserable. Hope is the star which cheers us on through the troubled voyage of life. Hope is "The anchor of the soul, lure and stead fast." 'Cas every ioy to tlinimer on my mind, liut leave-r-oh! lev the Iij;hl f Hope behind !'

When the Chrisfain looks forward to his promised heaven of rest when lie contemplates the solemn joys which await him there, and feels that peace of mind "which nothing early gives or can de stroy" he has "on for a helmet the hope of salvation, and that hope will last when the silver cords of life are loosed, and the golden globe broken at the fountain. Yes, when the funeral pile of Nature shall fie lighted, and the omnipotent shall stretch forth his mighty arm and roll up the Heavens together as a scroll, and the elements shall melt with fervent heart, the hope of the christian will "Look beyond the bounds of time, When what we now deplore Shall rise in full immortal prime, Anil bloom to fade no more."

Singing conducive to Health. MaDj parents in encouraging the developement of musical talents in their children, have no other view than to add to the number of their fashionable accomplishments, and ailord them a means of innocent solace and amusement. It was the opinion of Dr. Jluli, however, that singing is to young ladies, who by the custom of society are debarred from many other kinds of salubrious exercise, not only to be cultivated as an accomplishment, but as a means of preserving qealth. lie particular ly insists that vocal music slmuldnever be neglected in the education of a young lady; and states, that betides il9 salutary opera tion in enabling her to soothe the cares of do mestic life, and quiet sorrow by the united assistance of the sound and stntimentof a properly chosen song, it h is a jstill more direct and important effect. "I here introduce a fact," remarks Dr. Rush, "which has been suggested to me by my profession and that is, that the exercise o the organs of the breast by singing, con. I tributes very much to defend them from those d ceases to which the climate &, other causes expose them. The Germans are seldom afllicted with consumptions, nor have I ever known nut one instanre o!
