IMPORTANCE OF ABLUTioN AND BATH ING.-The subjoined article IS not so long as it is excellent. It embodies the practi- cal substance of whole volumes of theory. It Is worth committing to memory. We cannot say that we have no interest in its publication beyond public good, as atten- ton to its preeepts will prolong the lives of our subscribers-a consideration of prima- ry importance to us, so long as we desire io live ourself.
 From Combe's Principles of Physiolo- gy. When the saline and animal ele- ments left by the precipitation are not duly removed by washing or bathing, they at last obstruct the pores, and irritate the skin; and it is apparently for this reason, that, in the eastern and warmer countries, where precipitation is very copious, abu- ton and bathing have assumed the frank and importance of religious observances. Those who are in the habit of using the fiesll-brush daily, are at first surprised at the quantity of white dry scurf which 1t brings of; and those who take warm bath for half an hour at long intervals, cannot fail to have noticed the great amount of impurities which 1t removes, and the gfate- fll feeling of comfort which its use inn parts. The warm, tepid, cold, or shower bath, as means of preserving health, ought to be in as common use as change of apparel, for it is equally measure of necessary cleanliness. Many, no doubt, neglect this and enjoy health notwlthstand- ing, but many, very many, suffer from its omission; and even the former would be benefited by employing it. The per- ception of this truth is gradually extending, and baths are now to be found in fifty pla ces for one in which they could be obtain ed twenty years ago. Even yet. however, we are far behind our continental neigh bors in this respect They justly consider the bath as necessary oflife, while we still regard 1t as luxury.
 When we consider the importance of the exhalation performed by the skin, the extent to which ablution and bathing of every description are neglected Tn charlta- bic institutions, in seminaries for the young, and even by many persons who consider themselves as patterns of cleanliness, IS al- most incredible. Mir. Stuart, in speak ing of the North Americans, states Tn hls remarks, that ssthe practice of travellers washing at the doors, or in the porticoes or stoops, or at the wells of taverns and hotels once a day, IS most prcjudcial to health: the ablution of the body which ought never to be neglected, at least t,gice C 11sg, x, hot climate, being altogether inconsistent with 1t. In fact,' he adds, q have found it more difficult, in travel ling in the United States, to procure H. beral supply of water at all times of the day and night in my bed chamber, than to

.a toast heiped ot.-At Fourth of Ju- ly celebration in Delaware county, where Gen. Root presided, a militia Colonel, who was sitting next to him, was called upon for toast. Not having prepared himself beforehand, he was a little puzzled what to give. He thought a minute, and finally concluded 1t should be something of mil itary nature; but precisely what, he had not fully determined, when he arose and thundered forth, "The Military of our Country: May they never want''-here he hesitated-"may they never want''- here he begged; 'may they never want''- here he came to full stop, and looking im- ploringly atthe President, whispered, "What the devil shall l say next!o "And never be wanted" whispered the General. "And never be wanted" returned the Colonel. Thus they made between them q capital toast, which neither of them, and perhaps nobody else, originally had thought of reading, when put together, as follows: "The Military of our Country-May they never WANT. and never be WANTED"

are made without the knowledge Of the Bank
and with no understanding or concert with any

does so or not, my suggestions are connected
