HOW TO BATHE.


Reader, we are disposed to take some
care of your body as we'll as your mind.
BE duly thankful, therefore, for tic advice
We are about to give you.
The spring hath come, refreshing
earth, reviving all but man." your head
aches, and you feel occasionally drowsy'
languid and uncomfortable.--Take a warm
bath, it will relieve you in an hour; but
take it in the proper way:
"When lis done, 'twere well
sit we're not done quickly"
for in this lies the mischief of warm bath
ing. A man generally posts to bath as
ifhe were carrying an express, or running
away from broomstick. He Is out OF
breath and in a perspiration on his arrival
He undresses himself in a great hurry
souses his body in the hot water, kicks a.
bout for five minutes, emerges with every
pore open, puts on his garments, looks
complacenty in the mirror, and thinks ne
has taken a warm bath. No such thing
he has taken nothing but a cold. In one
hour he begins to sneeze, and the next
day he commences coughing, and curses
the bath. Philosophy grieyeS over his
folly, but will not relieve his noise and
lungs. Why did the bath give hun cold!
Because he was in a persplraton when he
went INTO the water. which SAID persplra'
ton was increased by the heat, and check
ed as soon as raised INTO the colder medl-
um of the alr.-The order of nature must
be reversed to prevent a man from taxing
cold under such circumstances.
Now, reader, we will tell you how 70
take bath:-In the first place, pay you
note if it be due; or if you cannot DO that
/ let it be protested and think no more about
1T. Tranquility ofmind Is all important IN
rendering the warm bath beneticial.--W ak
leisurely to the house of ablutlon, and DIS
robe Yourself with moderate haste. You
may have the water hot enough to Parboli
YOU if YOU choose, that is left to your own
taste. In with you; and, to beguIle the
time, read a newspaper or smoke a cigar
In about half an hour the water Will cool to
nearly the temperature of the air, and you
will have gone gradually g. safely through
halfa dozen climates. You will have leii
the torrid for the temperate zone. Then
let in the cold water, very slowly, almost
drop by drop and in the course of twenty
minutes you will find yourself in a cold
bath. Your pores will have closed gradu.
ally and moderately, your sensations will
be exquisite during the process, and you
will feel strength and elasticity IN every
limb. You emerge from the cold water
into the warm air, dry your body thorough
. ly with coarse towel, and feel like new
man. 1t is an impossibiity for YOU to
take cold; if you do, you are at liberty to
come and box our ears for giving you bad
advice. ". I. CON-

From the Eastern Argus.

LqtemDcrance and .Hwder.--A melan-
choly scene took place IN the shape ola
judicial trial, at York, in the county Of
York, on Friday last before the supreme
court, all the justices being present-The
accused was James Murphy, who was
Indicted for the murder of his wife, Lucy
Murphy, Kennebunk port, in November
last.-In addition to the barbarity Of his
crime, the trial presented peculiar features
Of melancholy and distress, in the persons
appearing as witnesses against him.-A-
mOng them were his own son and daughter
the one aged about II years, and the other
the latter about I5.-The heart could
not but revolt at the disclosures made by
these to witness, respecting the practices
and crimes famlliarized to them by their
accused father and deceased mother,
whose duty it was-whose pleasure doubt
less would have been, but for the intoxica-
ting bowl-to impant and nurture in their
offspring, by precept and example, the seed
Of virtue, and usefulness to society.
But horrid as these examples were in
their own appearances-the mind could
not but feel still more anguish, when see
ing their dreadful effects upon the hearts,
feelings. and character of the children
themselves.-To see them arrayed in a
vowed hostility to their only living parent,
and obviously earnest to effect his con-
demnaton, while his life was at stake and
dependant on their testimony-to see the
father in such situation, gazing wishful-
ly upon his own offspring watching in
GREATNESS anxiety every word from their
lips-aIternately hoping for, and despair
ing Of, their kindness and mercy, was what
could not but affect very sensibly and
sorrowfully the heart of the spectator, how
ever strongly persuaded Of the guilt of the
accused
The, testimony established clearly that
Murphy, having probably first compelled
his wife to drink until she fell intoxicated
on the floor, then built up fire upon her,
which he was in the act of blowing with
4 bellows, when the neighbours, alarmed
nv some Of his children, rushed in and
rescued her.--The wretched woman was,
baweFer, so much burnt, that after lInger
inc 10 an almost unconscious state for 4
days, she died Of modification induced by
the burns.-Ths wretched couple had e.
leven children, some ofwhom are married.
The examination of the witnesses, and
arguments of counsel, took up the whole
day: and, at 8 o'clock in the evening. the
urv retired for elaboration, the evidence
having been fully and perspicuously sum
ned up by Judge Weston, and some ad-
lltional remarks having been made by the
chef Justice, particularly as to the law APP
,licable to the case, and the lamentable
of intemperance, from which
his transaction unquestionably origlna-
ed.-The jury, after an absence of near
y two hours, returned into court. and pro-
lounced verdict of Guilty Of The crime
# murder.
at the opening of the court on Satur-
day moraiDg, the prisoner was brought IN,

able fraternity OF Constables IN this county,
being DESTROYS of sIgnaIzng has induction

determined to make his FIRST essay by en-
terlug a house, which thro' the aid OF bolts
and bars had for some time proved mpreg-
nable to every attempt ofthe Kind. Force
not being sanctioned by the law, he was
compelled TO resort TO stratagem. Sta
honlng his predecessor In office, at con
siderable distance as corps dereSerUe, ne
approached the Inflated uomicli d little
before the dawn of day, accompanied by
friend. The latter using some telgned
excused gently knocked at the door.
which upon being opened by the old man,
afforded free lngress to the Constable, VINO
quickly awaited himself Of the opportunity
to effect an entry. This was very clever
and ingenious contrlyance, but sad re.
verse awaited our hero. IAN ofncerp OK
claimed the old man, and in twinkllng TIE
old woman and two or three Swapping
daughters bounced out Of bed and seIzeo
each a chunk OF fire, hourlshed them with
terrific effect round the head OF the lucklss
intruder. At lenth, finding that their enemy
was but one, they magnanlmously LAID
down theirweapons of warfare, and laying
hold OIL the Constable, they speedily and
unceremoniously thrust hlm "neck and
heels" out Of the house, the old man las
sistng, aiding and betting" the while.
For this, they were all indicted at the pres
ent term of the Circuit Court, but Judge
Stewart decided that an officer is not au-
thorlzed to enter house at such n time and
under such circumstances, and that If he
does, the inmates may gently object him
therefrom -mOLiter mdnuS &c.
The Constable who on this occasion has
been thus roughly handled by "the fair, "
appears to be worthy fellow, and related
the story quorum parmagna fmt-in We
ry candid and credltable manner. We
trust no mputatons will be cast on his
seeming want of chivalry, as he doubtless
conceived that he was but executing the
stern mandates of the law.
