CHAPTER XII. A SEVERE SENTENCE. Such a series of violent incidents of course created excitement beyond our ow'n boundaries. There was a group of plantations upon the river lying side by side, and all having , a frontage upon the water; they formed the 'scttlcmcut.’ Through these ran the report, spreading like wildfire ; and within the hour, white men could be seen coming from every direction.

The awful sentence was passed; "and they who had decreed it at ‘once set about carrying it into execution. ‘ ’ It was not a fit scene to be enacted l A upon a gentleman’s premises; and a spot was selected at some distance from the house, further down the lake-edge.

Just then the cye of Ringgold rcstcd upon the Indian boy, and I could perceive that it was instantly lit up by a strange expression. He was already in possession of all the details.

If the boat is required to visit wreck: and remove treasures or goods, it is i doubt for a moment, that smoking to excess, or in'imodcratcly. ends in destruction ofmind and body. Some oftlie rcVelations on this subject are startling. Sonic young men still in their tern-8 smoke forty or fifty cigars daily. Some young gentlemen of rank have assured me that at college ihcy liaVe smoked from five in the afternoon until three or four in the- morning for weeks together. The effect of excessive smoking is to de- pt‘css the circulation, the heart be- comcs weak, irregular in its actihn, and the pulse is scarcely to be felt- The paticnt becomes frightened. and loses all resolution ; once a bold-rider, he cannot mount his horse ; a car- riage passing himi rapidly in the» streets alarms him ',bis appetite fails; his mind fills with l‘iorrorsâ€"imagin- ary crimes and imaginary punish- merits.

The mus-r cular structure of the heartâ€"cf that organ which is to distribute strength. and power to every part of the sysâ€" temâ€"is imperfect in its action ; the left side. is thin, and in some cases in which sudden death has occm‘rcd there is little more than a strip of muscular fibre left on that side. Ex- cessive smoking is a new vice. How many young men at school and col- lege used to smoke fifty years ago 'I‘ Some half-dozen. 'How many‘ do now ? The answer is'â€"-lcgion.. Boys of twelve vears old are seen. early in the morning walking the: streets with cigars in their mouths. A NEW TYPEâ€"COMPOSINC Mao CiitNE.-â€"â€"On V‘i’cdncsday the l3th ult. several gentlemen were invited to a private view of a new typeâ€"compos- ing machine, in practical operation in the printing establishment of Messrs. Bradburv and Evans,White- friars. The machine is the inven- tion of Mr. Robert Hatterslcy, of Manchester, and seems to be simple in construction and efficacious for its purpose. The letters are arranged in rows on a table, and by pressure- on a key the desired letter is made to pass down a groch and into the “ cotiiposing stick.” A compositor was at work upon it, and though he stated that be had only used the ii‘iacliinc three days, he appeared to- tlioroughly unkcrstand it, and '0 use it with the greatest case. He stat- ed that he Could compose and “juso tify” a "stick of matter" in seven». teen minutes, the timci rdinarlv em. ploycd to pcrfoi‘i'n that operation be- ing thirty minutcs. He further stated that he could “set up" 3.500 letters an hour, but that with a little more practice he thought he could do 5,000, the ordinary rate of com- position by band being about 2,000 an hour. One advantage of the mam chine which was pointed out was. that mistakes are less liable to occur in setting up the type titan by manual so constructed that he can saw, bore or make fast chains or ropes to any point of 'a wreck, and if required, onc- or’more persons can, while under water, go out of the boat through composttion, and consequently less. tithe is spent in correcting. The.- macbinc is certainly very ingenious, and if on extended trial it should prove as efficacious as it appeared the side hatches, enter a wreck or do other service, and return inside of the boat again without inconveni- cnco; ,3 , ‘ Curiously enough; the gentleman ,wh’o-has‘, come over here with this to be on a brief inspection, it is not unlikely to have a great eficcton the printing trade.
