How TO ACQUIRE HIGH HEALrH-Walker,
in his "Original!" lays down the following
rules fer attaining high health They are
worth remembering, particularly his advice
to wives and husbands:
"First study to acquire a 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 the bright side of things.
keep down as much as possible the nnruly
passions, discard envy, hatred and malice,
andlay your head upon your pillow in charity
with all mankind. Let not your wants out
run your means. Whatever difficulties YOU
have to encounter. be not perplexed but
only think what is right to do in the sight
OF Him who seeth all things, and bear with
out pining the results. When your meals
are solitary, let your thoughts be cheerful:
when they are social, which is better. avoid
disputes or serious argument, or unpleasant
topics. 'Unquiet meals says Shakespeare,
make i'll digestions;' and the contrary is
produced by easy conversation, pleasant
project, welcome news, or lively compan-
ion. advise 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
care and vexations of the world to them
selves, but to communicate of whatever is
comfortable, cheerful and amusing
BALTIMORE CLIppERs.-The Boston Jour-
nal says: Some persons suppose that clip
true only so far as relates to clipper ships
of colossal proportions. Clipper schooners,
briggs, and ships of reasonable size, have been
common during the whole of the present
century-and some toleraJly quick passages
have been made long before gold was dis
tral;a.
One Of the most remarkable instances of
rapid sailing, several consecutive passages,
which lives in our recollection, is the case
of the clipper brig "John Gilpin,' of Balti-
more. This vessel, which seemed to have
emulated the feetness Of its namesake, left
Baltimore in 1882, we believe, and arrived
at Batavia after a passage of eighty-two
days: proceeded thence to Canton in eleven
days from Canton to Manila in five days
from Manila through the straits of Sunda,
round south of Holland, to latitude FORTY
eight or fifty degrees to Valparaiso in eighty
five days-and from Valparaiso to Lima, in
six days and seventeen hours-malsing an
aggregate distance of 81, 920 miles in one
hundred and thirty nine days and seventeen
housekeeping fraction mere than one
hundred and eighty-three miles per day.
DEATH OF A VETERAN.-We sincerely re-
greet to announce the lecease of Capt. Thos.
Sutton, which took place in Baltimore, yes
terday morning, after lingering illness
Captain Sutton was for upwards of thirty
years employed in the steampacket line be-
tween Baltimore and Norfolk.
A PAYING CONCERN -The Lowell Mass. !
