ADVICE TO CONSERVATIVES DR.. Hall, in
the Journal of Health. has the following:
Eat all you can digest, and exercise in
the open air to convert what you eat into
pure healthful blood. Do not be afraid OF
outdoor air, day or night. Do not be afraid
of sudden changes of weather let no change,
hot or cold, keep you in doors. If it is raj
ny weather, the more need for your going out,
because you eat as much on rainy as on a
clear day. and if you exercise less, that much
more remains in the system of what ought
to be thrown off by exercise, and some ill
result, some consequent symptom or Ill feel
ing, is the certain issue. If it is cold out of
doors, do not muffle your eyes, mouth and
nose in furs, wells, wooden comforters. and
the like; nature has supplied you with the
tlco lips !; shut them before you step out Of
a warm room into the cold air, and keep
Them shut until you have walked briskly a
few rods and quickened the circulation lit
tie; walk fast enough to keep off a feeling
of chilliness, and taking cold will be impos-
sible. What are the facts of the case? Look
at railroad conductors, going out of the hot
air into the piercing cold of winter and in
again every five or ten minutes, and yet they
do not take cold oftener than others; you
will scarcely find consumptive man in a
thousand of them. 1t is wonderful how
much afraid consumptive people are of fresh
air, the very thing that would cure them,
the only obstacle to cure being that they
do not get enough of it; and yet what inf
mite pains they take TO avoid breathing it,,
Especially if it is cold /; when it is known
that the colder the air is the purer it must be,
yet if people cannot get to hot climate,
they will make an artificial one, and impris-
on themselves for whole winter in warm
room, with temperature not varying ten
degrees in six months; all such people die,
and yet we follow in their footsteps. If |
were seriously i'll of consumption, | would
live out of doors day and night, except it
was raining or mid-winter, then would
sleep in an upholstered log house. My con-
sumptive friend, you want air, not physic !;
you want pure air, not medicated air I; you
want nutrition, such as plenty of bread and
meat will give, and they alone; physic has

of milk and its ascertained value are carried
to the cows credit in an account book,
where her food is in like manner charged !;
and if any cow proves on years trial un-
profitable, she is sold off and another put in
her place. The animals. of course, are clean,
fat and comfortable. They are only turned
out in mild weather for short time at mid
day, and Mr.. Wilkinson observed that they
might thus be kept ninety successive days in
the stable without injury or suffering. The
milkro is directly north OF the stable,
under the carriage-way, with an arched stone
roof and capacious store of ice at the far
end. The room is well tempered of course,
may be warmed in winter if necessary, has
water pipes running through it, and ice with
in arms length of the milkpans.
On the next higher floor is capacious
kitchen and all conveniences for the family
who board the workmen fourteen to twenty
in number) who sleep in spacious chamber
still higher. The family never have to move
out of their special premises for water or
any other accessory to their labor. Their
slops fall into the basement where they be-
long.
On this floor are Woodruff planning ma
chine, o saw mill, a buzz saw for cutting
wood about as fast as it can be handed on,
a grind stone always kept in rapid motion
by water, &c, &c. Into one apartment a
load Of grain is driven and pitched off into
a hopper, thence run by water through a.
threshing machine, the screened grain deliv-
cred in its proper bin, the chaff sent to its
appointed destination, and the straw carried
some sixty TO eighty feet and deposited in
the apartment prepared for it-all beyond
the pitching being done by the unaided force
of water and machinery.
We might say more of this barn-proba
bly, the most complete ever yet built-yet
not half exhaust its peculiarities. Ultimate
will be steamed Indian corn being thrown
and stalk ears and leaves all reduced 10 a
pulp by the operation OF heat and water.-I
We understand from Mr.. Wilkinson, how
ever, that the feeding Of some long (uncut)
hay, from time TO time, is found advanta-
geous TO health and digestion.
We do not suppose Mr.. Leavitt will ever
make this barn pay, in the narrow pecunia-
~ sense it is very seldom that so bold and
radical o novelty proves profitable. We
should ask more than one per cent. to insure
it against the stream which it brides, and
the neighbors say there is quicksand under
its founda tions that the wheel of % feet
breast, which is TO drive its machinery, will
tear it to pieces within year, &C., &c. Fire,
food, or other casualty, may destroy or great
" damage it; but while it stands, that barn
will be perpetual suggestion of improve
ments on this side or on that. to the farmers
who may visit it; and we think its owner,
even though TO his own cost, will prove a
signal benefactor to the public NY. Trib.

The Mystery.
By BAYARD TAYLOR.


Thou art not dead thou art not gone to dust
No line of all thy loveliness shall fall
To formless ruin, smote by time, and thrust
Into the common dust that covers all
Thou canst not wholly perish, though the sod
Sink with its violets closer to thy breast;
Though by the feet of generations trod
The headstone crumbles from thy place of rest,
The marvel of thy beauty cannot die;
The sweetness of thy presence shall not fade;
Earth gave not all the glory of thine eye
Death may not keep what death has never made.
1t was not thine, that forehead strange and cold,
Nor those dumb lips, they hid beneath the snow;
Thy heart would throb beneath that passive fold,
Thy hands for me that stony clasp forego.
But thou hadst gone-gone from the dreary land,
Gone from the storms let loose on every HILL
Lured by the s,oeet persuasionS of q hand
Which leads thee Somewhere IN the distance still
Where'er thou art, know thou wearest yet
The same bewitchng beauty, sanctifed
BY camer JOY, and touched with soft regret
For him who seeks, but cannot reach thy side.
keep for thee the Irving lore of old,
And seek thy place in nature, as q child
Whose hand is parted from has pidymdte's hold,
Wanders and cries along a lonesome ,oitd.
When, in the watches of my heart, hear
The messages of purer life, and know
The footsteps of thy spirit lingering near,
The darkness hides the way that 1 should 60.
Canst thou not bid the empty realms restore
That form, the symbol of thy heavenly part?
Or on the fields of barren silence pour
That voice, the perfect music of thy heart?
o once, once bending to these widowed lips.
Take back the tender warmth of life from me,
Or let thy kisses cloud with swift eclipse
The light of mine, and give me death with thee.

SUPPRESSION OF SMALL NOTES.-The see that
the bill to repeal the free banking law, and
the bill to suppress the circulation of small
notes, have both passed the Senate on the
third reading. We hail the passage of these
bills as important steps in the progress of
financial reform. We trust there is no doubt
of their passage in the House. The bill to
suppress small notes leaves the State Bank
the right to issue such notes. We doubt the
wisdom of the exception. There is no need
cf small notes. But the suppression of all
other shin-plasters is a long step in the right
direction -NdsLyiiie Union d. american.

A Mas FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.-Lloyd's
forthcoming Steamboat Directory gives n
singular account of u man being frightened
TO death on board the steamer Jas. RObb,
during her trip up the Mississippi river in
1852. The boat took fire in the night, and
the cry of fire. fire, fire, soon aroused all the
passengers, and the widest excitement pre-.
vailed. Women were running to and FRO in
their night dresses, screaming at the top Of
their voices for assistance.
One man, Mr.. J. c. Dent of New York, in
his excitement rushed TO his state room
snntched up his trunk, which contained Sl2,
COO. carried it II few steps, aud then fell dead
in the cabin from excessive fright. The fire
was subdued.

The American Minister presents his com

surrs them that they have been misinformed
with respect to the expressions and conduct
attributed to him in their leading article Of
this morning. Always mindful of the neu-
traI:ty OF his government which he approves,
It WAS with deep regret he learned, rs he first
did from Washington, that attempts were
made in the United States to recruit soldiers
tor the British army, because he felt confident
that such attempts would tend TO weaken the
friendly relations between the two countries,
which it has been his ardent desire since his
arrival in England to cherish and promote
The American Minister can of course enter
ihto no discussion in the public journals, of
questions between the two governments, or
state what is not contained in any correspOn-
dcnce which may have arisen out of this
question; but he has felt it due, both To the
Times and himself, to make this prompt cor
