dcsrous Of long he, choeriulocss and health, 10

The mistress Of a family, ur the maiden rlst bud

their health, aud consequently their happiness, by
r.sins calv IN the morning, and taking moderate
exercise. Were this practice generally adopted
among rs, there would be iros dyspepsia, loss Of
appetite, ana depression Of spirits among our coun-

DUELLNG.-Thele was project once start
ed for the prevention Of duels. which was certain
vas simple in theory, as, We have no doubt, It
would be found eIhcacious N practice. The
protector required ercly an act, OF the following
nature. 10 be passed by the legislature, to ensure
tue total suppression of this honorable species OF
homicide throughout the county, yiz'--"Ihat all
other methods Of duelling shall be Illegal aud
punishable with death except this by pistols; that
under the same penalty, the parties shall be
Obliged 10 fight IN sponsors, waistcoatS, or coats

same penalty, each shall take aim al the lie of
tie other, by Shopping himself forward, and firing
between hts own legs At his opponent" The
protector contended, and il must be allowed with
some show oiuulh, that the udctous posltlol IN
biz each parY would view the ojhcr-at the fatal
moment, would inevitably lead to good humor
and reconciliation. Vie farther urged, that no
man ofhonol in hi, opinion, could think Of taking

We have no hesitation in declaring that the above

loaht very much whether it would be conrora-
BE to the gravity and so5rieiy Of our collective
wisdom to pass such statute. Nevertheless, il
