SLEEPING APARTMENTS.

IL is all important that the largest and most lofty
room, upon the second floor, be appropriated for
the sleeping apartment, and that it be freely ven-
| lilated during the day time, at all seasons, when
tho weather is not rainy or otherwise very humid
There are few houses the rooms of which are so
situated render the latter mpracticable; and
the influence of the practice upon the health Of in
mates is too important to permi, its being negecled
from any slight cause
A bed chamber should be Invested Of all unnec.
essary furniture, and unless of considerable size
should never contain more than one bed. There
cannot be a more pernicious custom than that pur-
sued in many families, to sleep in small apartments,
with two or three beds crowded into the same
room.
II is scarcely necessary to observe that cleanli-
ness lin tho most extensive Specification ofthe term,
81 if possible even more necessary in reference to
the bed chamber, than almost any other apartment.
The practice of sleeping in apartment which
is occupied during The day, is extremely improper.
Perfect cleanliness and sufficient pure ventilation
cannot, under such circumstances, be preserved, es
pecally during cold weather; hence, the atmos-
rhere becomes constantly more vtiated and alto
geiher unfit for respiration
While too great degree of caution cannot be
observed to avoid sleeping in damp rooms, beds, or
should if possible, never be augmented, under the
ordinary circumstances of health, by artificial
means. As this apartment is to be reserved solely
for repose, fire is never necessary excepting, per-
hops, during uncommouy weihtr; and e.
ven then the temperature ought not TO exceed fifty
degrees.

Some years since, several gentlemen, at

the Mulberry plants grew, conceived the idea
of establishing silk plantation. Further

that Nj. de TaIeyrand met her, The day
after he went to pay her visit, and met
her in the poultry yard, surrounded by a
host of fowls. hungry chickens and hens.
Truly might have been said to her,
From thee unfedgcd birds receive their food,
And all that live know well that thou art good.
She was all that she had promised to
be. Besides her health was so much i'm

the house work than if she had attended

ton with charming simplicity.

used to relate it with that tone of voice
peculiar to his variations.
