How TO LIvE.-We give hint TO our readers
on the manner they should live, If they would en-
Joy perfect good health You should battle every
day. We mentioned this yesterday, and will
not further continue the subject
Your sleeping should be open and ary
even in winter for fresh airisimperativey demand
ed by the laws of health. In common and ord-
nary respiration 10 or II cubic inches of atmos-
pheric air pass into the lungs twenty times a
,s.nute and 274 cubic feet in "a hours. Some
persons have slept in a close, sitting chamber all
night where they have been forced to breathe
over and over again. the air which was in the room
upon their entrance Besides this, 274 feet in
"a hours twcnty-three feet are converted by the
lungs into carbonic acid gas, and we need not di-
late upon the consequences ofbreathing this atmos-
pheric substance Have open sleeping rooms.
Live upon plain diet The mixed and fancifu
diet Of man is considered as the cause Of diseases
whose name is legion, and from which other ami
mails are exempt. Vegetables appear, from good
authorities to be the best they neither disturb
the vessels, nor load the system and, therefore,
never interrupt the strong action Of the mind I;
while heat, fullness, and weight Of animal food is
adverse to vigorous efforts of the mind. We will

U. II. SOcIETY.--The Union Harmonious So
clety met Tuesday evening, pursuant to adjourn
the chair.
The fret business in order was the admission Of
new members.
Patrick ORaferty nominated B. B. Dutch, Bene-
dict Arnold J. A. NJ Duncanberry and George
Watsonhog as members of the association when
they were duly elected-the chairman vouching
that they had been turned out Of the Know.Noth-
Ing camp.
Dug Wallackby then offered the following
resolution:
Resolued, in consequence of our defeat at the
recent municipal election, that we cordially invite
the Negroes to join with us at the next election,
that we may be able with the Irish and Dutch, to
carry the city by storm.
Brother Walackby made some powerful and
eloquent remarks in favor of the dark race, and
eulogized them to the skies, which brought out
Lawyer Catclife, who considered an Irshman as
good as Niger so long a. he behaved himself.
The resolutions were finally adopted by acclama-
ton.
A resolution to celebrate the Fourth Of July, by
an Grafton to be delivered by Jerry Mehighguul-
frefunction, and to wind up with an Irish wake,
and clam chowder, to take place on English Hill,
was then discussed by Michael o. lannigan Jenny
O'Toole and Patrick Burnsy, which was carried.

fray the expenses, and the meeting adjourned.
"Too LArE."-" Items" of the Sentinel, says !:
While at the railroad station in the afternoon,
have frequently been amused by travellers, who
arrived "just in time to be too late" for the de-
parting cars.
On one occasion, gentleman Of marked rotund-
ity of STATURE undertook TO overtake the train be-
fore IL reached the first bend In the road. With
carpet-bag in hand, he run desperate and fatigu-
ing race but tire iron horse of superior met
tie and left him far in the rear. Putting and blow
ing, on a less extensive scale than his rival, he
slowly retraced his steps; not blessing the COM
pany, the conductor, nor even the brakesman,
who would not stop for few moments until he
could I" catch up"
Recently, gentleman in hack was less than
minute too late" He was on the eve Of stepping
out Of the vehicle when voice was heard, "The
cars have started " And the Gathering Of the ma
chinery, and a repetition Of conyulsiye and heavy
pufs from the locomotive, attested this fact
"Good Lord" he exclaimed, throwing up his
hands in despair and sinking back into his seat !;
aud when he had collected himself, he continued,
mournfuly, "drive me back to the hotel"

natura, from which no doubt most important re.
suits viii flow TO the agricultural portion Of the
community from the investigations instituted re-
specting il, as il Is clear that such distractions
must exert unhvorable influence on the health

pared for preservation in the agricultural bu-
