HOOD ON HEALTH.-Take precious care of
your precious health--but how, as the house
wife says, to make it keep Why, then, don't
cure and smoke dry it-or pickle it in egerlast-
ing acids, like the Germans. Don't bury it in
q potato-pit, like the Irish. Don't preserve it
in spirits, like the barbarians Don't salt it
down, like the Newfoundlanders Don't pack it
in ice, Ike Captain Back. Don't parboil it,
like gooseberries. Don't poland don't hang it,
A rope is a bad ''cordon sanitare'' Above all,
don't despond about it. Let not anxiety have
&c thee on the hip Consider your health as
your best friend, and think as well of it, in spite
Of all its foiblss as you can Fer instance, never
dream, though you may have clever hack
of galloping consumption, or indulgei in the Mel
tonian belief that you are going the pace Never
fancy every time you cough, you are going to
pot. Hold up, is the shooter says, over the
rougbest ground, Dependency, in nice case
is the overweight that you may kick the beam
and the bucket both at once In short, as with
other cases, never meet trouble half way, but
let him have the whole walk for his pains, though
it should be Scotch mile and q bittock Ihave
even known him to give up his visit in sight of
thehouse. Besides, the best fence against care
is o Ha ha' wherefore take care to have one
all around you whenever you can. Let your
" lungs crow like chantieleer," and as like d
game cock as possible. 1t expands the chest,
enlarges the heart, quickens the circulation,
and, &c like trumpet, makes the spirits danee,''
SIR ISAAC NEwToN.--The following has an
peared in The English journals:
Her Majesty aud Prince Albert have sgped their in
entton OF subscribing eloo toward the erection of mon
ument at GranthaH in memory of Newton The town Of
drantham has raised ESQ for this purpose
The erection Of the monument in memory of
the immortal author of the Principal did such q
memory need q monument, is somewhat late. il
seems to US. Her Majesty and Prince Albert
might have made o better use of their money,
by giving it to feed the hungry and clethe The
naked; but still the object Of the donation is one
that cannot be disapproyed, Notwithstanding
the fame of the man to be honored with mon
ument IS far above, and far beyond, any posi-
blllty OF being increased by brass or marble: :
for Newton might have said with at least as
much--perhaps more--truth than Horace,
Exegi monumentpn
Perennius are"
His fame will endure as long as the world
will, probably while it may happen that the
poetry Of Horace may one day go out of fashion,
as the admiration of it depends upon circum-
stances that may be variable. Not so with the
great philosopher. His is based upon the dis
coyery of important truths-trutLs which will
last forever
What can have stirred up the people Of Gran
than to erect monument to Newton at this
late day-one hundred and thirty five years
after his death-does not appear, Perhaps they
are initiating their neighbors, the Normans,
who erected monument year or two ago to
William the Congueror-between seven and eight
hundred years after his death. We may next
hear that one has been erected at Athens to
Socrates, or Pericles, or some one of her many
great men, who fourished more than two thou
sand years ago. Washington Glsbe,
