HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
LYING IN BED.

No piece of indulgencchurts the health
moro than the modern custom of lying in
bed too long in the morning. This is the
generl practice IN great towns. The in
habitants of cities never rise before eight
or nine o'clock, but the morning is undoubt
edly the best time Tor exercise, while the
stomach is empty, and the body refreshed
with sleep. Besides the morning air brac
es and strengthens the nerves, and in some
measure answers the purpose Of cold
bath. Let any one who has been accus
toned to lie a bed till eight or nine o'clock,
rise at six or seven,s spend a couple Ofhours
in walking, riding, or any other active di-
version within doors, he will find his spir-
its cheerful and serene through the lay,
his appetite keen, and his body braced and
strengthened. Custom soon renders early
rising agreeable, and nothing contributes
more to the preservation Of health. The
inactive are constantly complaining OF
pains in the stomach, flatulencies, indiges-
ton, sc. These complaints which pave
the way to many others, are not to be re-
moved by medicines they can only be cur
ed by rigorous course of exercise, to
which indeed they seldom fail to yield. II
consists with observation, that all very
old men have been early riscrs.-Tbis is

WOMEN.

The good government of families leads

Gle, home, that scene ofpurest and dearest

she plans, directs, performs the acknowl-

Where female virtue is most pure, female
sense most improved, female department

What has become Of those youthful
hands we pressed with youthful ardor-
around whose necks our arm was fondly
thrown-whose mirth, whose pains, we
shared, whose wrongs we were ever rea-
dy to avenge-in whom we confded ?-
for the dark influence of suspicious was
then unfeh. Some of them have been
gathered to the mansions Of death; in the
spring of their days;while they dreamed
of many marrow gay'-somc, upon
whose devoted heads the storms of mis-
fortune have pitilessly pelted, have sought
far from their homes, foreign grave
some have quaffed the cup which smiling
pleasure offered-they are now treading,
with hasty footsteps, the broad road whose
end is ruin-some have been marked
by melancholy; for her own,' and move
through life in hopeless brokeness of
heart'-some are far away, tossed on the
stormy ocean, or pursuing fortune in 9TH
er cline, exposed to peath from the roar
ing wave, or inhaling the pestilential
breeze. Ofhow few can it be said their
path has always been prosperous Those
may be considered as fortunate, and
should be contented, who can SAY, we
float along the stream Of time-it is now
gentle and ealn,-now rough and turbu-
lcnt-its banks are often adorned with
gay and beautcous laadscapcs-though
our prospects are sometimes bounded by
dark and barren rocks, as we advance we
are still greeted with smiling spots of vcr-
dure-but long tracts of cheering sterility
too frequently meet our gaze. Happy is
he whose bosom is sway, and whose act
ions are directed, by the expectations OF

ADVICE TO LADIES.

An ancient writer gives the following
advice" Lovely creatures! take well
this advice, formed to wipe off the blem-
ishes in your conduct; some of which are
rather the faults of your education and
your situation in the world, than your nat
ural dispositions. -.
elf you would be truly valuable, es-
TEEN not yourselves chiefly according to
your money and lands, neither of your
beauty, but on the grace of your person
and mind; read little more; read divin-
ity, morality, history; innocent poetry,
and the stories Of generous lovers.
"You dress well and have the belle air
and mien; be as polite in your language
as in your dress, and learn to write in a
neat style, mean SO as to be able to
write on all occasions, not as scholars but
as gentlewomen.--As you are ingenius,
a little application forms you good house,
wives, but to improve the beauties of the
mind and carriage will cost no more,
Blend both accomplishments together.

in company, as others, perpetual drums

TRANSPLANTING.

In performing this operation, on all
plants Of wooden texture, the essential
point is to set the roots in the ground in a
situation similar to that in which they were
placed, before they we're taken out (; not
only the same depth, but, as Mr.. Forsyth
says, with the same side to the south as
they were before : but as they cannot be
got out ofthe ground, nor set again into it,
with their full length Of roots, these must

the only circumstance attending longevity,
to which never knew an exception. ~

HEAT AND CoLD.-The changes often
perature, which occur more or less in all
climates are, when not extreme, exceed
ingly salutary to the vital functions, and
not, as the vulgar believe, generally inju-
rious. The impression of cold atmos-
phere on the surface, when not too long
continued, is precisely that Of a cold bath,
and, like it, produces a reaction on the
part Of the heart, which, indirectly, even
accelerates the circulation in the capillar-
les on the surface. When the body is
con6nedto q temperature perfectly uni
form, the circulation is observed to be-
come sluggish, especially in the capillar-
les. There are then wanting those peri
DDS Of excitement which rouse the ener-
gies of the org-ns, and, by opportune ex-
ercise, increase their powers Jour. Of

MOTHERS.

The following is from Buckminster.
" If any thing in life deserves to be
considered as at once the exquisite bliss
and pre-eminent duty of a mother, it is
this--to watch the dawning disposition
and capacity Of favorite child; to- discov-
er the earliest buds Of thought; to feed
with useful truth the exquisitiveness Of a
young and curious mind; to direct the
eyes yet unsullied with the waters of con-
triton, to bcnefactor; to lift the little
hand yet unstained with vice, in prayer to
their Father who is in heaven. But so it
is. The child, as soon as it is released
from the bondage Of the nurse, and needs
no longer careful eye to look after its
steps, and guard it from external injury, is
too often surrendered to preceptors, some
of whom are employed to polish the sur
face ofthe character, and regulate the mo-
tions of the limbs, others to furnish the
memory, and accomplish the Imagination,
while religion gets admission as she can,
sometimes in aid of authority, and some
times in Saturdays task or a Sundays

FOR THE STAR.

Those who make the happy choice Of
tilling the earth as the means of reaping
their reward, shun many of the anxieties
and vexations, which arc in greater or
less degree incident to almost every other
vocation. And if there be one situation
in life more desirable than another, it is
that Of snug thriveing farmer He can
look calmly on amidst all the conflicting
passions and clashing interests, which
cause so much communion among the
mercantile communicate hears the cry
about the rise and fall of stock, without
the cutting sensation Of fear, that so much
of his annual income has been swindled
fromhim by some unfeeling spendthrlft-
or the like annoying thought, that his
means have been increased with the last
advance, when in reality it proves sheer
fabrication, got up by few designing in
dividusls, to gull the credulohs and en-
trap the unwary. He sees growing with

RULES FOR THE WEATHER.--A wet
summer is always followed by frosty win-
ter, but il happens occasionally that the
cold extends no father, Two remarkable
instances Of this occurred in l8O7-8 and
I8I3-f4. With these exceptions, every
frosty winter has been followed by cold
summer The true cause ofcold, or rath-
er the direct cause, is to be found in the
winter excess Of west wind, every winter
with excess Of west wind being followed
by cold summer; and if there is no cold
before, OF during first excess, then Sec
ond excess of west wind occasions still
colder summer than the first. II also ap-
pears, by repeated experience, that cold
does not extend to more than two years at
time. Again, if the winter excess Of
the east wind be great, in the first instance
the winters will be mild, and followed by
mild summers; while the summer excess
of east wind is itself, in the first instance,
always mild; but uniformity followed by
cold winters and cold summers, which con-
tinue more OF less for one or two years, acc
cording to circumstances Mag. Of Nut
