TIE ART OF KEEPING CooL.-The Newark
Advertiser ridicules the idea of travelling AT
this season OF the year for the purpose of
keeping cool, and makes these suggestions:
"Our recipe is moral and mental. First.
you must hive good conscience We do
not commence, a. recipes usually do, by saw
ing You must take a good conscience Thi.
must Ce in possession beforehand, you cannot
take 1t, IL must come from a past of honest oc-
cupation wherein you have intended injury 10
no man. Thus a good conscience toward man
will be yours; we so no further-the rest be-
longs to the preacher. Be calm and you win
be cool. Let not your bodily appe;ites run
away with you while the dog star RACES.
They must be kept in leash. Tke passions
must be kept under; they are whips to the
blood. Choier may bring On cholic. AnI-
iety is too often the herald of fever, and in
irritable temper descends into the stom-
ach, and becomes the cause as well as eonse-
quence of dyspepsia. Paeserve the mind Sc
rene, the honor clear; throw of the anxious
cupidity Of gain, and the depressing fear of
loss. Do not be lsmenting, that you are not
somewhere except the place where you hap
pen TO be. Worry not yourself and Others
about an ideal place, or q means Of happiness
you will never attain. The sooner YOU arc
convinced Of this, the better. Obtain thi,
comfortable frame Of mind, and then yeu will
be in the neighborhood Of conteutment. which
is only another name for happiness-aIi th at
men will ever realize.
