Vet Feet. How often do we see
people trampling about 10 mud. with
leather soaked through. and how often
do such people when they return home,
sit down by the fire side and permil
their feet to dry, without changing
either stockings or shoes. Can we
then wonder at the coughing and bar
king and rheumatism and inaamma
ton, which enables the doctors toiride
in their carriages? Wet feet nos,
commonly produce affections of the
throat and lungs: and when such dis

therefore let us entreat our readers,
no matter how healthy TO guard againsl

ance. which | have read with pleasure
and edifcation. 1t abounds in ingenuity
and information, il addresses itself 10
the understanding and the heart.
A drunkard is the most selfish being in
the universe. He has no sense of mo-
desty, shame or disgrace. lie mas no
sense of duty. or sympathy of affection
with bis father or mother, his brother or
sister, his friend or neighbor, his wife or
children, 40 reverence for his God, no
sense of iuturity in this world or Inc
other--allis swallowed up in the mad,
selfish JOY OF the moment.
Is it not Illuminating, that Mahometans
and iiindoos should put to shame the
whole Christian world, by their superior
examples Of temperance? Is il not der
grading TO EngIishmen and Ameri ans,
that they are SO Intimately exceeded by
the French in this cardinai v.ftue? Ard
