Benefits of Exerease.

As man is a compound of soul and hody. he is under an obligation of a double scheme oi duty. and as labor and rx-rcise conduce to the health ot the body, so do study and contemplation to that of the mind; for study strengthens the mind as exercise dues the body. The labor of the body frees us from the pains nf ,he mind. and this it is which makes the poor man happy. The mind like the body. grows tired by being ino long in one posture. The end of diversion is to unbend the soul, {, deceive the cares, sweeien the tolls and ruggedness of life.
 As the body is maintained by rep etion and evacuation. so is the mind hy rrple,inn and relaxation. Difficulty strengthens the mind as i.hor d' es the body. Life aud happiness consist in action and employ. m-nI Active aud masculine spirits. in ,h- vig"r nf youth neither eau nor ought to be al rest. If they drbar themselves from noble ohjec,, their desires will move down. wards, and they will feel themselves ac. ,uated by some low and abjec, passion ar pursuit. .as the sweetest rose grows on Ihe sharpest priekIes, so the hardest labor brings forth the sweetest profits. The end of labor is rest; wha, brightness is to rust. iahor is to idleness: idieness is the rus, of the mind and the iniet~ to all mistor- tunes. Dilligenre is the mother of virtue.
 When it is known. says Plato how ex- ercise p oduccs digestion and promotes health, com-lin-ss and strength, there will be no orcasi"n 10 eujoin the use of such exercise by law, or to enforce an attrn. ton to it on the candidates foi health, viz or and personal charms.
