Healthy Women and Early Mar
4" riageS.

J.
The following remarks by DR.. G.
NJ Fitch, at bis lecture the other
teyening, are too good to be lost.
Speaking of the hereditary cause
of consumption, the Doctor remark
ed:
II believe il to be utterly impossi-
Bile to find a perfectly healthy child
born of delicate .sickly parents. The
unsouud constitution Of the parent is
usually transmitted with increased in-
tensity to the offspring, aud char
acter Of morbid predisposition to
pulmonary consumption. When we
consider the influence that the moth.
,er's health must exert on the health
!Of her children. it is strange that so
little attention should be paid to the
physical education Of girls. Why is
she TO be cOoped within door, conf
ned to patchwork and nursing her
doll, and taught to consider it quite
unlady-like to move faster than the
diguifed gate Of some animated dow
ager? Turn your girls out of doors,
let them play at ball, and trundle The
hoop, and shout as much as they
please, they will be finer ladies for it
at thirty, even if not quite so graceful
at fifteen. BY the laws Of Lycurgus,
the wise and immortal law -giyer OF the
Spartan Republic, the most special
attention was paid to the physical
education Of women, and no delicate,
sickly woman, on any account was
allowed to marry. Supposing IL pro-
vision like this would be carried into
effect here: What an army Of un
married adhesive Should very soon
see. 80 -~
If a youpg man wants to choose
wife, let him invite the lady be has
in view, TO take walk, long ore,
and when she comes back, if be
finds his companion obliged to 60 to
bed with the headache, let him look
somewhere else fer a wife, unless be is
fond of paying doctors bills. :.
Speaking of early marriages, the
Doctor remarked:
"In this country very few ladies
are git, either ply ysically or mentally.
to become mothers before they reach
| the age of twenty-five or twenty
three, but SO precocious are opr
young ladies, that il they happen
to pass twenty without having made
definite arrangements, they begin to
consider themselves old maids, and
before school girl is fairly out of
her short dresses and paDtaletts, she
is beginning to look upa beau.
"Among the ancient Germans,
than whom a finer race physically
perhaps never existed, it was death
for any woman to marry before she
was twenty, and were tbisrlaw to be
enacted and vigorously enforced a
mong US, the amount OF suffering,
the actual amount ofhuman life that
would be saved thereby, is past all
computation" g1,ss tc5 s8et !

0Iuo.-A purely sectional party
has been organized in this State. 1t
is composed Of all those who are op-
posed to the Nebraska bill. At a
convention Of this party, held recent
ly at Columbus, s. P. Chase, Demo-
cratic Abolitionist, was nominated as
the "fusion candidate for Governor.
The Cincinnati Gazette and the Wing
papers generally, and some of the
Democratic journals, support the fu-
sion ticket, thus showing that large

This State, which owes its prosperity
and greatness; to the wealth which,
through the insane folly of the South,
has been constantly and unreluctant-
ly poured into her lap-this State is
now a perfect hive Of fanaticism, and
will assuredly. elect Chase and the
remainder of the Abolition ticket.

An infusion of tea; when not too
strong, is said to be very capital in
preventing the hair from falling off.
The plan recommended is, to pour
boiling water over leaves sfter they
have been used fora lneal;in ten OF
twelve hours it may be drawn of,
and placed in bottle for use as re-

For low was our fortunes level,
And heavy the winters grew; +.
Butsone who had no possession
Looked up the azure dome,
And said in his simple fashion.
Dear friends, we are going homs!"
This world is thesem dull Market,
That wearied the earliest sage;
Tho times to the wise are dark yet,
And SO hath been many an age;
And rich grow the toiling nations
And red grow the battle spears.
And dreary with desolations -
Roll onward the laden years. re

The spectre that follows glory.

And death is the only winner
But, friends, we are going home!

Importance Of Punctuation.

| Punctuation not only serves to
make an authors meaning plain, bat
often saves Us from being miscon,
ceiyed. There are many cases ia
which change of points completely
alters the sentiment. s. rs
An English statesman once took
advantage Of this fact, to free himself
from an embarrassing position
Having charged an officer of gov
Eernment with dishonesty, lie was
required by Parliament, under
heavy penalty, publicly to retract the
accusation in the House Of Commons.
At the appointed time he appeared
with written recantation, which he
read aloud as follows: 81 said he was
dishonest, it is true; aud / am sorry
for it." This was satisfactory, but
what was the surprise of parliament,
the following day, to see the retrac-
tion printed in the paper thus: IL
said he was dishonest; it is true, and
| am sorry for it!' By simple
transportation of the comma and
semicolon, the ingenious slanderer
represented himself to the country.
not only as having made no reean-
tation, but even as having reiterated
the charge in the very face of Parlia-
mCnt.

Gleaainss from our Exchanges
H1M Editorial Sprlakllngs.

There is a sect, principally found
in Pennsylvania, called Mennonites,
who hold some peculiar views. A
portion Of them contend that the
body Of Jesus Christ contained nel-
fher flesh nor blood, aud therefore
atthe sacrament they use water only,
discarding both bread and wine; 9TH
ers conform the rite to the jewish
Passover. They send messages to
each member TO "make ready the
passover.' In the evening the con-
grecation gathers about table
spread with Ioaves of bread and a
pitcher of wine; after prayer, they
partalse Of the elements, while walk
ing about lie table, talking sociabiy
with leach other. They immerse
10 the sound Of vocal and instrl-
.nental music, refuse to bear arms,
and choose their preachers by lot.
A curious instance Of stern adher-
.epce TO rules occurred recently in the
British House of Commons. Accor'
ding 10 the forms of that chaplain

ofliciate, otherwise be cannot open
the proceedings with the customary
prayer. The speaker being absent
on account of i'll. health, the result was
that although the chaplain was in
attendance anG ready to proceed as
usual, it was not considered proper for
him to do SO without the speaker IN
person being present to invite him,
although a chairman pro tea' was pre-
siding at the tlm0.
