All the air and the exercise in the universe.

sufficient to maintain human STAINING if we
neglect other operatives namely, The obedi-
cncc to the laws Of abstinence, and those Of
ordinary qualification. We rise with head
ache, and set about puzzling ourselves to
know the cause. We then recollcct that We
had u hard days fsg, or that we TASTED over
beautifully, or that we stayed up very late;
at all events, we incline to fine out the fault,
and then we call ourselves fools for falling in.
to it. Now. this is an occurrence happening
almost every day. and these are the points
which lun away with the best portion of our
life before we find out what is for good or
evil. Let any single individual review his
past life: how instantaneotslv the blush will
cover his cheek when lie thinks of the errors
he has unknowinsly committed because 1t
never occurred to him they were errors until
the effects followed that betrayed the cause.
All our sickness and ailments and Lrice life
mainly deren'i upon ourselves. There are
thousands who practice errors day after day,
and whose pervading thought is, that every
thing which it agreeable and pleasant cannot
be hurtful. The slolhful nan lovers his bed

NJ. ARAG ON THE TwISKLING OF STARS
In the published Proceedings of the As.
Economical Society" are gwen at length
the opinions of Mr.. Arago on the twnklng
otthc celestial bodies. He maintains that
the only satisfactory theory which can be adj
vanccd Oh the subject is that which connects
the phenomenon with the principle of the in
reference Of light. He illustrates the latter
principle by the wcll-known experiment in
which two rays of light, cinanating in differ
cnt directions from n luminous point, are
made TO converge again by being reflected
from the surfaces of two mirrors and to COM
bine together or to destroy each other, accor
ding TO the conditions Of the experiment. II

while Ill other intermediate positions it will

Ann ElizS Moore. toher End, 1856.
VTNlTE object Of this suit is to obtain A
l. decree divorcing the complainant and
defendant. vinculo matrimonii.
The Bill states that the complainant who
removed from the city of Philadelphia 10 the
State of Maryland in the autumn of 1850.
where h. has been residing ever since, was
married in the year 1922 to the defendant,
then and now residing in said city; that he
lived on good terms with her for several
years, treating her with uniform kindness and
affection, when she began to desert his house
occasionally and be absent for four or five
weeks at q time, and continued to act until
the month of July in the year 1913, when
she finally abandoned him, having never ~.
turned since, that this abandonment, which
has now continued un,nterruptedly for about
l3 years, was deliberate and is final and the
separation between the complainant and her
is beyond any reasonable expectation Of re-
conciliation; that the complainant has reason
to believe, and does believe and charges,
that the defendant was guilty of adultery on
several occasions before she took her final
departure from his house.
1t is therefore adjudged and ordered, that
the complainant by causing a copy of this
order to be inserted in some newspaper
published in Cecil county, once week, for
one month before the fifth day Of November
next. give notice to the said absent defen-
dant of the object and substance of this Bill,
and warn her to appear in this court, in per
son or by solicitor, on or before the sixth day
of February next, to answer the premises and

ought not to pass as prayed.
