MAXIMS OF HEALTH.
EGtract from recent Work Of Or.
Kitchener.

-
Kitchener.
The more luxuriant1y you live, the
more exercise you require.
Exercise, to have its full effect, must
be continued till we feel sensible de-
gree of perspiration, (Which is the pana-
cea for the prevention of corpulencc) and
should at least once day, proceed 10 the
borders OF fatigue, but never pass them,
or we shall be weakened instead Of
strengthened.
After exercise, take care to get
cool gradually; when your head per-
spires, rub il and your face, sc. dry with
a cloth.
Be content with one dish; as many
men dig their grave with their teeth as
with the tankard. Drunkenness is de-
structivc, but gluttony destroys hun
dred to one.
The food which we fancy most gene
morally sits easier on the stomach.
To affirm that any thing is wholesome
subject in all the circumstances to which
it bears relation, and the unaccountable
peculiarities of different constitutions, is,
with submission, talking nonsense.
What we have been longest used 10
is mos, likely to agree with us best.
The wholesomeness, sc. OF all food
depends very much on the quality Of it,
and the way in which it is cooked.
Those who are poor in health must
live as they can: certainly the less sti-
mulus any OF Us use the better, provided
it be sufficient to properly carry on the
circulation.
The stately danes of Edward the
Fourth's Court rose with the lark, des-
patched their dinner at eleven O'Clock in
the forenoon, and shortly after eight, were
wrapt in slumber. How would these
people be astonished could they but be
witnesses to the present distribution OF
time among the children of fashion !!
Would they not cali the perverse con-
duct of those who rise at ono or two, dine
at eight, and retire to bed when the
morning is unfolding all its glories, and
nature putting on her most pleasing as
pect, absolute insanity
Swift has observed, such is the eX-
tent of modern epicurism, that The zvorid
must be encomhaSsed before a zrasher-
zvoman can sit DOM TO her breakfast -
i. e. by voyage to the East for tea, and
TO the West for sugar"

that although Mr.. Marigny had a right,
as amember of the Legislature, to make

right to publish it.
The principles laid down by Judge

From a French paper.

Portrait If a Partisan Coquet,e.-l
went with a friend to the new opera; we
had scarcely taken our places in the front
of the Amphithcatre, when beautiful
elegante, accompanied by an elderly
chevalicr, who it was easy to see was
her husband, took the second row, (by
the by, English gentlemen would have
yielded 10 the lady and her husband the
front seat.) The lady was beautiful, her
tourneure, distinguished, her toilette ele-
giant, and an air Of languishng candor and
enchanting amenity, struck every spec
tator. The heat induced her to take off
her hat, and we discovered the most
superb comb of polished steel terminal
ing in points of diamonds. BY and by a
buckle of hair escaping from the comb,
obliged her to take off a glove, which left
US to admire hand and arm Of the most
polished symmetry, and of the most
healthtul freshness, enriched with pre-
cious rings and bracelets. The arm was
exposed to the shoulder. 1t no doubt
cost her some pain to conceal for a time
her finely turned neck, but it was neces-
sary that her rich cashmere should pro-
duce its effect. AT length, however, the
cashmere dropped, and discovered the
finest shoulders in the world, and bo-
som most seductive. Neither my COM
panion nor could avoid from time to
time, in audible whispers, to praise short
eeves,naked shoulders, and ornamented
necks; complim did not escape the
attention of the lady and bcr husband
The latter, perhaps, found the air, from
the occasional opening Of the door. a
little too keen, and he said with great
sweetness, " Ma 6onne .fmie, entreat
you to draw on your shawl and gloves"
81 assure YOU" said she in return, I" I do
not feel the air from the door but vet /
thank you Ger your attention, and will in
s.an,ly give you a proof of 1t, my love-
And in less than minute VIC could see
nothing. Happily for me, a little old la
dy was plated by the side ofthe clegante.

When the shadows of night have enyelop'd

The mode of courtship in some parts
of Fife is curious. When the young man
hath the felicity to be invited of the same
party with the maiden that hath won his
affections, then doth he endcavor to sill
opposite to her at the table, where he
giveth himself not up 10 those unsecmly
oglings and gazings which be practised
in other parts, to the offence Of aged vir
gins and other persons OF much discre-
ton; but, putting forth his foot, he press
eth and rcadeth wilhal upon the feet and
toes OF the maiden; whereupon, if she
do not roar forth, it is a sign that his adj
dresses are we'll received, and The two
como, in due course, before the minister.
This form oil ATTACK is known by the name
OF Footie, and the degree of pressure doth
denote the measure ard the warmth of
the passion. Such young men as be
bashful do hence make good speed:
these Go take with them more forward
friend, who shall vicariously and in their
stead, give light pressure and treading
and person who doth thus melt the ice
Of coyness between the parties is, in
these parts called Lightioot, from the
lightness OF his pressure. Scatch ZAP.

had declared 10 be false and absurd in

ing expressly contrary TO the Scrip

The Reports of the respective Com
mittees were accepted by the Trustees,
and the premiums recommended, were
awarded accordingly.
The Address of NATHANIEL P. DENNY,
Esq. will be published under the direc-
ton of the Trustees, as soon as it con-
veniently can be, accompanied with a
concise statesment ofthe proceedings of
the day.
The Society was complimented by a
delegation from the Essex Agricultural
Society and from the Windham County
Society, in Connecticut. Many distin-
guished strangers honoured us with their
company. Among them, were observ-
ed Commodores Rogers and Chauncey,
and Capt. Biddle, of the Navy, the Hon.
Messrs. LLOYD and QUINCY, of Boston,
and JOHN HARE POWELL, Esq. the cele-
brated agriculturalist, of Philadelphia.
The thanks of the Society are due to
many gentlemen who volunteered their
services in carrying into operation the
previous arrangements.--The gentle
men who acted as Marshals deserve
great credit for the promptness and eff
fciency with which they discharged
their duty. The following gentlemen
executed this responsible and arduous
trust Col Joseph Davis, Col. Samuel
Damon, Col. Ariel Bragg, Col. Moses
Grout, and Maj. Nathan Heard. jun.
We reflect upon the proceedings Of
the day with much satisfaction and we
ardently hope that each succeeding An
niversary will exhibit the most unequiv-
ocal evidence, that this extensive and
populous County is advancing rapidly
in those improvements which are the
strength, and ornament, and glory OF
a community. Oct. 9, 1922.

From, the Teas and .Meaico.
We have received the Arkansas Ca
zette of the 18th and Goth of August,
which furnish gloomy account of the
situation of the late emigrants to the
province of Texas. Several intelligent
gentlemen had returned to Arkansas
from MIR. Austin's settlement, at the
mouth of the Colorado, and from an ex-
tensive exploring tour through the prin-
clpal parts of the province. They con-
tradlct the report of Mr.. Austin's death,
and state that his brother at the settle
ment had received letter from him,
dated at Mexico, informing that it was
next to certain that his title to the lands
he claimed oiH not be confirmed by the
imperial government or if it was, it
would be in such way as in all proba-
bility would be rejected. One of the
conditions would be, that he should set
tie 300 families, within certain limits, in
stipulated time, and they must all be
CGthoiack. Every inhabitant must swear
that he is Catholick, that he will sup
port and defend that religion, and take
the oath of allegiance to the imperial
government
We hope the following recital of the
severe dlstresses, to which the emigrants
to the Colorado settlement are reduced.
will be suffcientto prevent in future any
OF our citizens from embarking in such
wild schemes. TN Y. Statesman

the old inhabitants, was truly to be COM

failed, in Consequence of an excessive
drought which had prevailed through
out the province for several months. 1t
is said that not one drop of rain had fall

since the Gath Of May last. Water, for
ordinary family purposes was extremely

were suffering from thirst as well as
hunger:

bread-stuffs could be obtained, without
packing il from 10 to 100 miles, where
they were obliged to pay SO per BUSH
ell for it. But few could afford to live
on corn at this price, and very large
proportion of the inhabitants, in conse-
quence of their extreme poverty, were
compelled to subsist altogether on meat,
and that was so poor as to be considered
unwholesome. When our accounts Left
there, the inhabitants in many places
were subsisting on the flesh of Mustangs,
wild horses, and even that was scarce.
Their suferings thus far through the
season have been distressing enough
what they will be the ensuing winter,
may be easily conjectured. All the late
emigrants were anxious to return, but
many would be prevented from doing so.

European Portuguese, and st. Salvador
was garrisoned by $500 European troops,
and about 1900 militia, favourable to the
European cause.-The troops were con-
stantly employed in terrifying The city,
and all the Brazilian soldiers within the
city were disarmed--and many of them
