AedHh,-Kepletion,Or or eRtink too muth, is the cause of most malndies, l,nd this is particularly injurious aswe advaA ce in life. --OccasionaI fasting will genStslly cor- rect indisposition, without medictne, which should bo considered as only a desperate resource. We require about a fourth of the twenty-four hours for sleep but it should be good, and that can only be ac. quired by regular digestions aud inhaling pure air while in bed. If we do not riso early, sleeping with open windows will be a tolerable substitute for that important aid to health. ,5 x6.

 I'm OF!-As the fly said tha, lit on the mustard pot.
 The stoty is thus-a fly in pursuit oE sweets, honey or sugs. ,ssecendsd opon ab >,- pen pSi ofmustard, ,mistaking it probably for St. Croix. What disappointment The one so delicious-the other so odious-- suttocating. I've Indian Chiefs were at
 table-one "s them seeing other guests take mussard with their roast beef, helped hin:seif to a spoonful and swallowed the whole at dose. Too stoicai to complain. he preserved an imperturbable serenity of muscle, involuntary tears only marking his 5 internal agony.-' Why do you weep 2 inquired his brother chief-'Thinking of
 my fathers deaih,' was the reply. Pesent- f ly tho other who had seen his brother taste the mustard, helped himself and swallow ed the fiery portion. Tears streamed a. ) main. And why those signs of sorrow 2 inquired the first. l was sorrowing,' rec piled the other, that you had not been bu. ] ried with your father.'-The fact is--that to the fly, as to the Indians, the mustard
 was complete take in.
 A young man went to pay his addresses
 10 very pretty girl whom he had seen a.
 broad, neat as pink, and mild as q sum. mer evening-all smiles and dimples.- Going in unexpectedly one day, he heard the voice of his charmer an octave above. and at least demi-semi-quaver too rapid. for good nature. Standing a moment ho saw her pass, her silken tresses in wild dis order, streaming like a meteor iu glao troubled air. slip-shod-the heei ofOne stocking half torn of. 1t was not tlss dis habille of industry, but the garb of the slaitern. Amazed, the lover gagged mo. ment--then crying,
 I'm of'-as the fly said-took his de- parture for ever.
 Such girl, so neat in public--so sweet before company, look upon as piece oe veneered work, a thin covering of beauti- ful s,uG, put on for show, concealing the rough and unsightly material of which the article is mainly formed.
 How many hundred instances. in life is
 mustard taken for sugar in polisics-in
 trade-aspecially in pleasure.
 But as I write to be read, and of all
 things should be mortified to see one ga-
 ping over my youthful lucuhrssions, l" I'm '' Otf." Bob Brief
