Those in easy circumstances, or those who
pursue sedentary employment within doors, use
their lungs but little, breathe but little in the
chest, and thus, independently Of positions, con-
tract wretehedly small chest, and lay the
foundation for the loss Of health and beauty.
All this can be perfectly obviated by little at
tention to the manner Of breathing. Recollect
the lungs are like bladder in structure, and
can stretch open to double their size with per-
feet safety, giving a noble chest and perfect
immunity from consumption.
The agent, and only agent required, is the
common air we breathe, supposng, however,
that no obstacle exists external to the chest,
such as twining it round with stays, or having
the shoulders lie upon it. On rising from the
bed in the morning place yourself in an erect
posture, with your chest thrown back and your
shoulders entirely off from the chest, then in
hale all the air that can be got in then hold
your breath and throw your arms off behind
hold your breath as long as possible. Repea
these long breaths as many times as you please
Done in cold room is much better, becaus
. the air is much denser, and will act much NOR
, powerful in expanding the chest. Exercisn
the chest in this manner, it will become fiexibl
and expansble, and will enlarge the capacit
and size of the lungs.-Se;entjfc Amsrican.

lished that there are abundant gold diggins in
Texas. Parties have recently returned from
the placers bringing with them considerable
quantities of the precious metal and confirming
all that had been rumored on the subject We
shall look for slight diversion of the current

a trick to attract emigration to that part of the
