latter was greatly rejoiced at the costly meal,
thanked his son and said Dear SOD, thou
hast refreshed me to-day with splendid meal;
but tell me how didst thon come by itf The
son looked sternly in his fathers face, and
with harsh voice said Old folks, who
cannot earn anything, should eat what is
given to them, and keep silence! Amazed at
such rudeness the father ate no more retired
into lonely chamber of the house, and tears

of the inhabitants should be sent to that re-

the limb. W. are glad to see that within a
year these high boots are beginning to be worn
by the ladies /; but they are by no means uni
versal as they ought to be, and it is a
pity that the leaders Of fashion, if there are
any such in Philadelphia, would not set the
example, both of walking and of wearing
waterproof boots.
For daily walking is as requisite to the
health as the wearing OF imperviOus shoes.
The wives and daughters OF our rich men,
who never take exercise except in a Garage,
are undermining their constitutions quite as
etiectually as those of their sex, who, unable
to keep coaches yet initiate them by wear
ing their drawiUg-room shoes. The one is in
jured by wet feet, the other by want Of pro-
per exercise. 1t is common thing, at this
inclcmcnt season OF the year, to hear ladies
congratulate themselves Oh their warm rooms
yet often these furnace-heatcd apartments are
only less deleterious than the unprotected
hovel Of the beggar, We often enter par
lors, where the thermometer is eighty, where,
the air is fairly scorched, and where, to cap
the climax, every door is shut so as to exclude
the possibility of ventilation Yet many fe-
males remain in such rooms, at this season of
the year, week after week, without once going
out especially il they are in circumstances
too good to compel their working for liveli-
hood, yet not good enough to enable them to
keep carriage. The consequences are I'M
paired digestion, or hysterical affections, OF
incessant headaches, excessive liability to
catch cold, and, what some prehaps will think
more than all, loss of color and beauty.
There are, therefore, two faults character
lstic OF American women, one u neglect to-ex-
ercise and the other too thin style Of dress
in winter. Every female who can possibly do
it, ought to walk, in the open air from one to
two hours every day. If suitable clothing
was worn, and especially if the feet were
properly protected, daily walk even in the
winter would be more conducive to health and
loneliness, than all the panaces ever concoct'
cd, Or all the drugs prescribed by the faculty
1t would give elasticity to the step, bloom to
the check, brilliancy to the eye, gay spirits
brightness of intellect, aound sumbers, every
blessing, in short, that vigorous physlca
health bestows, and of which alas so many
American women practically know nothing
Vitality would be strong and high, the defci
ency of which, in most cases, is the beginning
of consumption. The lungs, too, would have
needtul play, Tor no one can 60 out, on brac
ing winter morning, without initiating the
lungs fully; and the air at such times is al
ways the purest. If you would escape pull
monary complaints, ladies, if you would en-
joy life, while living, if you would add tt
your personal charms, dress warm and dry
and take daily exercise in the open air. LIE
nothing keep you indoors but inclemen
weather; but be always clothed to defy colo
and wet, especially to your feet.

A Word TO The I,adies

The old adge aptly says, An ounce of
preventive is worth pound of cure" When
we consider how fatal disease consumption
is and how comparatively easy it is to avoid
it, we are more than ever impressed with the
truth OF this proverb. During the last few
days we have been amazed indeed at the follv
OF woman, whom we have seen promenadipp
the streets, with the snow foot deep at the
crossings, in low, paper thin shoes, thinner
than the thlnest worn by men in summer time.
Will the sex ever exhibit common sense in
regard to this matter? There is but one nro.
per covering for the foot of woman in
either cold or sloppy weather, and that is
Wellington boot, such as every gentleman
uses. In fact, the protection which it affords
10 the leg especially against wet, is more nee.
essary IN the case of women than of men he.

against calfskin or morocco instead of apain inst

A Young Mans Character.

No young man who has just sense of his
own value will sport with his own character.
A watchful regard to his character in early
youth, will be Of inconceivable value to him
in all the remaining years of his life. When
tempted to deyate from strict propriety OF
department, he should ask himself, can | at-
ford this? Can endure hereafter to look
back upon this?
It's of amazing worth to young man to
have a pure mind, for this is the foundation
of pure character. The mind, in order to
he kept pure, must be employed in topics of
thought which are themselves lovely chas-
tened and elevating Thus the mind hath in
its own power the selection of its themes of
meditation If youth only knew how dura-
BILE and how dismal is the injury produced by
the indulgence of degraded thoughts, if they
only realized how trigh;ful are the moral de-
pravities which cherished habit of loose
Imagination produces on the soul-they would
shun them as the bite of serpent. The
power of books to excite the imagination is
fearful element Of moral death when employed
in the service of vice.
The cultivation of an amiable, elevated and
glowing heart, alive to all the beauties Of ma
ture, and all the subimitios of truth, invigo-
rates the intellect, gives to the will indepeu-
dence of baser passions, and to the affections
that power of adhesion to whatever is pure,
and good and grand, which is adapted to lead
out the whole nature Of man into those scenes
ofaction and impression by which its energies
may most appropriately be employed, and by
which its high destination may be most effect
ually reached
The opportunities of exciting these lacul-
ties in benevolent and sef-denying efforts for,
tho mAlfare of our fent'
and great, that it is reilly worth white ito,
live. The heart which is truly, evangelicaIly
benevolent, may uxuriate in an age like this.
The promises of God are inexpressibly rich,
the main tendencies Of things so manifestly in
accordance with them, the extent Of moral in
hucnce is SO great, and the effects of its en-
ployment so visible, that whoever aspres al
ter BENEVOLENT action, and reaches forth things
that remain for us, to the true dignity of his
nature, can find free scope for his intellect,
and all-aspiring themes for the heart.

The Christian Advocate and Journal, the
organ Of the NJ Z. Church, in spite of its
pro-slavery fanaticism, utters the following
emil ghtened sentiments on the subject of
novels:
"We are well aware Of the strong feeling
of disapprobation with which many of our
best men Of all religious denominations look
upon novel reading, condemning it in the
gross and without discrimination but We
think this feeling arises from the Just appre-
henson of the injurious tendency Of large
class Of the works of fiction which are afoat
in the world, from which many works of the
kind are not only free, but which are calcula-
ted and designed to promote the cause Of vir-
tue, and really to impress its obligations on
the minds of the young people with more
effect than when conveyed in the more grave
and sober form ola didactic essay.
at is then, very plain, we think, that it is
not simply the fictitious character of book
which ought to forbid parent to put it into
the hands Of his children, but its intrinsic
character and tendency. Before he excludes
all fictitious works, he should consider to what
extent of prohibition it would lead him. He
must exclude very large proportion of our
tract and sunday school publications, and
some Of those in the catalogue Of our Book
Concern, for they are decidedly fictitious, tho
eminently calculated to impress lessons of re-
ligion and morality and if we must comply
with the requirement, and those who agree
with such views to gain their patronage, we
: must refuse to Recommend them.
But this is not all. There are few Christ,
ians who have not read with delight and cdi.

Pilgrims Progress and his Holy War

are fctons, both wrap and web. But must

TO my Tropic Queen.

Thou hast been among the glades-
Beneath the long cypress shades
Where tie night
Still moonlight,
Shed her fairy visions DER
The oranges golden store.
Thou hast sat on welcoming shore
And watched the breakers wash DER
Picked the shells
The sea-bells,
Worried in The briny lave
Landed from the ocean-waye.
And hast heard the hollow lull---
Like the evenings bulbul-
In the waves,
Windy caves,
That were swallowing up the foam
Fastening all to its home.
Sailed upon the silver lake
Seen the swan her dpples wake
Round the isle
Island isle,
Whose tiny fowerets watcred,
From dewy wavelets scattered.
Hast qnalfed at dewy eve,
Sweet fragrance Magnolias leave
On the air,
Balmy air,
OF the gay zephyrs blowing
From haunt to dell agoing.
Tarried amid the haunts-
Woody dells and gay bird-chaunts,
Where the breeze
Laughing breeze,
Mid the fir and balsam spire,
AwOke its woodland Tyre.
Hast sang with the pebbllng ril
Murmuring its evening trill
Whose dipletts-
Light waveets,
Mostening the bowery lea
Kissing its charms to thee.

OPERATE by their powerful influence on the
" internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu-
late it into healthy action. They remove the
distinctions of the stomach, bowels, liver and other
organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular
action to health correct. wherever they exist, sncE
arrangements as are the first causes of disease.
An extensive trial of their virtues, by ffNtd n
PHYSICIANS AMI Patients, has shown curese
gerous diseases almost beyond belief were they not
substantiated by persons of such exalted position
and character to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Their certificates published in my American
Almanac, which the Agents below named are
pleased to furnish free to all inquirng.
Annexed we give Directions for their use in the
complaints which they have been found to cure.
For CosTIvENEss - Take one or two Pills or
such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos
tveness is frequently the aggravating cause OF
PILES, and the cure of one complaint is the cure
of both. No person can feel we'll while under
costive habit of body. Hence it should be, as it
can be- promptly relieved.
FoR DYSPEPSIA, which is sometimes the cause
of Cosireness, and always uncomfortable take mild
doses from one to four - to stimulate the stomach
and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and
the hea'tbuyn, bodyblvn, and soulbUn of dyspepsia
will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't
forget what cured YOU.
For a Foul STOMACH, or Morbid MaCtiOn of MsN
Bo'oels, which produces general depression of the
spirits and bad health, take from four to eight Pills
at first and smaller doses afterwards until activity
and strength is restored to the system.
For NERVOUSNESS, SICK HEADACHE, NAUSEA,
Pam IN the Stomach Back, OF Side, take from FOUR
to eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oper
ate sufficiently take more the next day until they
do. These complaints will be swept out from the
system. Don't wear these and their kindred dis
orders because your stomach is foul. -
FoE SCRoFuLA, ERYsIPELAs, and all Diss'
ofHe Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently,
keep the bowels open. The eruptons will gent
ally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Man

To PURIFY THE BLOOD, they are the best med
