Hoao to acquire High Heazh.-Walker, in
his Original lays down the following rules for
attaining high health. They are worth remem-
bering, particularly his advice to wives and hus-
bands.
First study to acquire composure of mind
and body. Avoid agitation of one or the other,
especially just before and after meals, and
whilst the process of digestion is going on. To
this end, govern your temper, endeavor to look
at bright side of things, keep down as much as
possible the unruly passions, discard envy,
hatred and malice, and lay your head upon your
pillow in charity with all mankind Let not
your wants outrun your means. Whatever
difficulties you have to encounter, be not per-
picked, but only think what is right to do in the
sight of Him who seeth all things, and bear
without pining the results. When your meals
are solitary, let your thoughts be cheerful +;
when they are social, which is better, avoid dis
pute or serious argument, or unpleasant top
ics.-sUnquiet meals says Shakespeare, make
i'll digestions;' and the contrary is produced by
easy conversation, a pleasant project, welcome
news, or lively companion. 1adyise wives
not to entertain their husbands with domestic
grievances about children or servants nor to
ask for money, nor PROFOUND unreasonable or
provoking questions, and advise husbands to
keep the cares and vexations of the world to
themselves, but to be communicative of what
ever is comfortable, cheerful and amusing

Gen. Scott and Gen. Cass.-Gen. Cass, in a
late speech, rebuked, in strong and pointed
terms, the low, personal abuse of candidates
for the Presidency, and paid the following fine
tribute to Gen. Scott, which is in itself, sting
ing condemnation of the defamers of that il
lustrious hero:
"Now, sir, I will take no part nor lot in such
warfare. / have no appetite for such vicious
focd-for myself. Irepudiate and reject it.
| believe that Gen. Scott is an honorable and
patriotic citizen, and that he has written his
name and his deeds on one of the brightest
pages of his country's history; and not one
breath of calumny from me shall ever wither
single leaf of the laurel that encreles his brow
His wreath was fairly won, and will not be
one to prevent it from being fairly worn.
have enjoyed his personal friendship tor long
series of years, and do not mean, at this day
by any calumny, to prove myself unworthy Of
it,"

Anecdote of Gen. Scon.--An interesting an
ecdote is told by Massachusetts officer, Of the
wonderful foresight of our great chief, whose
plans for the whole conquest of Mexico were
made history, by altering the lenses from fu-
ture to past. While at Vera Cruz, Gen. Scott
sent for the head of the Quartermaster's De-
partment, and said to him, "Have you, sir, got
everything in readiness in your line, which we
may want between this and the captal!"
ayes, sir, have got everything an army can
possibly require"
"Have you sent along any ten penny nails'"
"Ten penny nails! No, sir"
"Then forward cask of them.'
The officer was puzzled to conceive what
the Geneaal could want with ten penny nails
But when the National Bridge was blown into
mass of rocks by the flying enemy, the Gen
erals admirable foresight was apparent. The
Penobscot lumbermen were soon ready with
their timber to repair it, the cask of nails was
turned out, and the army was on its road te

The New York Times thus writes up the
history of the present canvass up to the present
period -
''Very unfortunate the Democracy have been
in their attempts to disparage the character
and services of General SCorT. They picked
up the Generals Natirism, but they dropped
it as suddenly again as if it had been hot po-
tatoe. They stirred the Marcy soup SO hard
that it spilled over and scalded their fingers.
They exhumed a forgotten trouble with the
Common Council, and took it on board their
heaviest gun-boat. But they foundered at sea,
for the democrats" were as heavy as lead
They were showing him to be Catholic, when
suddenly they ran crying off, as if they had
stirred up hornets nest. They proved him a
Protestant, and hastened to retract, lest they
should prove too much. They charged him
with cowardice in the matter with General JACK
SON, and caught sharp poke in the ribs from
old Hickory himself. They made sport of him
as one fond of fuss, and were glad to get out
of tho snoise and confusion" that the people
made, who very we'll remembered the fuss he
had caused in the North, South and West.
They made fun of his feathers, and found that
they pricked like porcupine quilts. They burnt
him in effigy, few days since, and already
tremble and turn pale at the apparition of whole
squadrons of voting veterans that rise from the
ashes. 1t would save them deal of morlii-
cation to remember that their scandal and their
"curses, like chickens, always come home to
roost"
