Developement of the Lungs.

The following commendable hints are
from DR.. Fitch's last work.
"Much has been said and written upon
diet, eating and drinking, but l do not re-
collect ever noticing remark in any wri-
ter upon breathing, or the manner Of
breathing. Multitudes, and especially la
dies in easy circumstances, contract a vi
clous and destructive made of breathing.
They suppress their breathing and con.
tract the habit of short quick breathing.
Not carrying the breath half way down
the chest, and scarcely expanding the low
er portion of the breast at all. Lacinp
the bottom of the chest also greatly in
creases this evil and confirms bad habit
OF breathing Children that move about
great deal in the open air, and are in
no way laced, breathe deep and full in
the bottom of the chest, and every part
OF 1t, So also with most out door labor
ers, and persons who take great deal of
exercise in the open air, because the lungs
give us the power of action and the more
we exercise, especially out doors, the lar
ger the lungs become and the less liable
to disease. In all occupations that re-
9ulre standing, keep the person straight.
1t at table, let it be high, raised up near
y to the armpits, so as not to require YOU
to stoop-.you will find the employment
much easier-not one half so fatiguing !;
while the form of the chest and symme.
try of the figure will remain perfect. You
have noticed that a vast many tall ladies
are stopped, while great many short
ones are straight This arises, think,
from the table at which they sit or work,
or occupy themselves, or study, being of
a medium height-for short one. This
should be carefully corrected and regard
ed, so that each lady may occupy herself
at the table to suit her. and thus prevent
the possibility or necessity of STOPPING.

Wistar's Balsam Of Wild
CherrV!!

TINE BEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN to
Il Man for Coughs, Asthma, Colds, Group,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Bleeding of tho Lungs,
Difficulty of Breathing Liver Affections, Pain or
weakness of the Breast or side, First stages of
Consumption, &c.
Wild Cherry has long been known to possess
important medical properties. This fact is fami-
liar to every matron in our land, and physicians
often prescribe it in different forms for variety
of complaints. Tar, also, has boon equally noted
for its virtues; and some physicians, whose
names are familiar to the whole country, have
gone so far rs to declare that even CONSUME
TON could be cured by that alone. In other
hands, again, it was nearly valueless, owing no
doubt, to their ignorance in preparing and ad-
ministering it-a difficulty now entirely obviated
by patient experiment and long experience.
The extraordinary medical powers of these
two substances are now, for the first time com
bined and embodied in DR.. Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry. By nice chemical process, every-
thing deleterious useless is rejected, 80 that
what remains is the most extraordinary and TIM
" ettcacious remedy for all kinds of pulmonary
and liver diseases ever known to man. To con-
vince all unbelievers that our theory is really
true, we refcr to q few cases of cures performed
by this wonderful medicine.

Literal Obedience.

The Emperor Paul of Russia was cele-
brated for his imperative interference with
matters of police regulations, and his sub
ordinates had ample experience of the ad-
visibility OF a literal compliance with the
imperial mandates. Upon one occasion
an order was issued that the houses in
particular streets should be numbered,
"No. l., &C.," the police obeyed literally,
and for years afterwards every house in
these streets exhibited the extraordinary
inscription "No, l., &C." At another
time an English resident was DESTROYS of
marrying Russian lady. The consent
OF the Emperor was necessary for the un.
lon' and an influential friend catching
him in plant humor, obtained the ne.
cessary ukase, which was at once forwar.
ded to the police. To hear was to obey.
and that at once. The ardent lover was
aroused by midnight visit, and, with
Siberia before his eyes, tremblinrly don.
ned such garments as he had. A few
words explained the matter, and the mar.
ty then proceeded to the residence of the
lady, whom they reused, and then escort.
ed The bewildered pair to church, where
a shivering priest performed the nuptial
ceremony. Upon another occasion, an
order was issued that no one should APP
peNr abroad after certain hour in the
evening without lantern. A physician,
called suddenly to see patient. was ac-
companied by his servant bearing light,
The man was allowed to pass, and the
physician was arrested"

Female Beautv.

Powers, in letter to a friend, says,
with sartirical humor, of his favorite work,
Eve is an old Fashioned body, and not
SO well formed or attractive as are her
granddaughter, at least some of them.
She wears her hair in natural and most
primitive manner, drawn back from the
temples and hanging loose behind, thus
exposing thos very ugly features in wo-
man. Her waist is quite too large for our
modern notions of beauty, and her feet,
they are SO very broad and large /! And
did ever one see such long toes ? they
have never been wedged into form by the
nice and pretty little shoes worn by her
lovely descendants. But Eve is very stiff
and unyielding in her disposition she
will not allow her waist to be reduced BY
bandaging, because she is far moro com.
Portable as she is, and besides, she has
some regard for her health, which might
suffer from such restraints upon her lungs,
heart, liver, &c, could never prevail
upon her to wear modern shoes, for she
breads corns, which, she says, are neither
convenient nor ornamental. But some
allowance ought to be made for these
crude notions Of hers, founded as they are
IN the Prejudlces and absurdities of print.
