yyhy is there SO much Disease.

Because, in a number of things, we do just
wha, by our nature, we never intended 10 do
For example:
|. Man is intended TO draw fresh air every
time he breahes. Almost all The people, when
in their shops, breathe the same air over and over
again. To show The necessity of allowing fresh
air continually TO enter living rooms, and The
bad air TO escape, ii may be stated that every
person, during each moment Of his life, de-
siroys a quantity Of ait twice as large as him
self.
Q. Man ought TO breathe pure air at every
breath Our sewers and drains are so bad, that
the vapor and foul gasses rise, aud We breathe
Them.
g. Man was intended to take open exerclse
every day Neither his heart, his stomach and
bowels, his skin, his liver, his lungs. his kid
neys nor his brain, will act rightly, without
walking exercise every day. Most OF Us do
no, ge, any walk, or only very short one,
which is scarcely of any use.
d. Man is formed to take simple, plain and
wholesome food He eats all sorts of things
which not only do him no good but do him
harm, and drinks large quantities of beer, s2i'-
its, and wine, which hurt his stomach and take
away the proper use of his brain.
s. Man onght TO wash himself all over with
water every day, so as 10 cleanse the pores OF
The skin, else they ge, stopped up; he cannot
perspre rightly, and mis- skin cannot breathe.
The majority of people only wash Iher hands
and faces.
6. Man should wear clean clothes next his
skin, because the body gives off bad fluids. A,
present many people wear the same Thing day
after day for weeks together.
7. Man was intended TO live in the light
Many. very many, have scarcely any light in
their rooms.
S. Man in this climate. must wear warm
clothing. Many have no flannel, and are clad
with heavy and useless things.

Flowers.

Ye are the scriptures of the earth,
Sweet flowers, fair and frail,
a Sermon speaks in every bud
That woos the summer gale.
Ye lilt your heads at early morn,
To greet the sunny ray,
And cast your fragrance forth 10 praise
The Lord Of night and day.
Sown in the damp and cheerless earth,
Ye slumber for a while,
Then waken into glorious life,
And bid creation smile.
Thus when within the darkSome tomb
Our mortal frame shall lie,
The soul, freed from the bonds Of sin,
Shall join the choir on high.
