The Philosophy Of Drowning

Man is llie only animal that drowns naturally. [lo dues so bocause lie is endowed wiih renson; that is to say with a la-ge spherical brain with a skull on it, which risea above liis nosc. If he fa'.ls intodeop water, in spiteof his great brain, he has mt presence of mind enough to stick I) is nose out and kepp it out, as lie might easily do, but lots Jiis heavy hettd, like astone, press his nose under wa'er. In tliis position Ín inhales, and filis his chest with water, so that he becomes on the whole so mueh hoavier than water a to sink. While the lungs are filled with air, the body is ligliter than its bulk of water, and ofcourse swims, justas an iron vessel does. Al therefore whtch is necesáary to keep a person from drowning in ueep water, is to keep the water out of the lungs. Dj you as!; how this is to be doniï Suppose yoursoH' a bottle. Your neie is the nozle oftlie bottle, and must be kept out of water, lf it goes ánder, don't breathe at a! ï. it comes out. Then to prevent its giing down agaiti, kepp every other part under head, lcgs, arms, all un Ier wntor bal your nose. Do tint, and you can't sink in any dep'.h of wnter. AH you need todo to socu:e that, uto cldsp your hands behind your lack, and point your nose at the top of the heavens, and keep perfectly slill. Your nose will never go under water to the end of time, unl ss you raise your brain, hanc!, knee, or foot, higher than it. Koep still with your nose turned up in perfect impu !ence. and you are safe. This will do in tolerably still water; n boisterous waier you will need a little of the art of swimniing, which if you don't got you deserve to be drownod. Chronotype.

We'l, we cansay to the Adcerliser, we are Aboliiionists, and we ilory in the name. We are also Whigs. And when we say this we go farfhor, tliat we thank God that we possess, in some smnll degree at least, that iodenpendeuce which enablos us to sustain the right, while such as the Advortiser ire aciing the sycophant and whining nnd cringing at the feet r.r error, merely for the sake of oblaining power."
