HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN.
There is nothing in the world that We
think so much of as we doof women. Oui
mother is woman-wife, sisters, pretty
cousins are women; and the daughters will
be if Heaven spare them) they live long
enough. And then there is love of women
in general which we do not deny. A fine
magnificent specimen Of the sex, full of life
and health, ripe red cheek, and flashing
eye, is something that does one good to
look at as she illuminates the humdrum
sidewalks, and every day streets A North
River Steamer under full headway, with
colors flying is rather pretty sight,-fath-
er stirring and inspiring: and we pull up
our tired nag to see her pass and admire
the swell she cuts. Comparatively, how
ever, the steamer sinks into insignifcance,
or some other very deep water by the side of
well kept, well dressed woman. There
Is no rubbing it out; women are the orna-
ment, charm, blessing, beauty and bliss of
life,-(men's life of course.) Any, means
that can be devised for preserving them
should be publicly made known. They are
different from any other kind of fruit. You
cannot pickle them. You cannot do them
upin sugar and set them in cold room,
with paper soaked in brandy over their
mouths. You cannot put them up in cans
and seal them up air tight, without injjuring
their form and flavor. Now, as men are
50 dependent upon women for life's choicest
blessings a proper mode of preserving them
becomes of great moment, and we are
sure that the public will thank Us for an un-
failable receipt. l,'As lJits,iG
Have tho feet well protected, then pay
the next attention to the chest The chest
is thcrepository Of the vital organs. There
abidesths heart and lungs. It is from the
impression made upon these organs through
the. skin, that the shiver comes. It is ma
ture's quake-the alarm bell-at the onset
of.daBgef. A woman never shivers from
the effect Of cold upon ber limbs, or hands,
or head; but let the cold strike through her
clothing on her chest and off go her teeth
into a chatter, and the whole organism is in 4
a eofnmotiOn. One sudden and severe inn
preston Of cold upon the chest has. slain its
tens of thousands. Therefore, while the
feet are well looked after, never forget the
chest. These points attended to, the nat
ural connections of the dress will supply the
restsand the woman is ready for the air.
Now let her visit her neighbors, go shopping
Gallon the poor, and swalk for the good Of
it, for the fun of it.
Keep away from the stove or register,
Air that is dry or burnt more or less charg-
edsRith gass enVolVed by the fuel, is poison.
Go up stairs and make the beds with nit
tenson. Fly around the house like mad,
and YeBtiiate the rooms. Don't sit pent
up in a single room with double windows.
Fruit will not retain its full form and flavor
in ar tight cans; neither will women. They I
need .aif. If the shiver comes on during
these operations, go directly and put On
something more about the chest.
SAgain,. do not Ike in aaEk rooms. Light
fades the carpet, but it feeds the flower No (
living animal or vegetable can enjoy health
In darkness. Light is almost as necessary
as air, and brown tan is far preferable,

Thus much in regard to tho physical
means for preservation. There are moral
means no less important. Every woman
should be- married to an excellent man.
Marriage, it is true, brings care and wear,
butit is the ring that is worn that keeps
bright and the watch that lies still and un-
wound, that getsout Of erder.l The sweet
sytnpathies evolved in the relations Of the 4
family, -tile, new energies developed by new
responsibilities the new compensation for /
all outlays Of strength, brings about de-
lightful play ofthe heart aud intellect which |
in their reaction on the body, produces an
effect that is nothing less Than preservation.
Then, there is a higher moral power than
this-one which we speak of soberly and
honestly. No one is completely armed
against the encroaching Ills Of life, who has
in Che heart no place for religion. The
ealuness, the patience, and the JOY and hope
that are ia possession of that woman whose
heart is right in its highest relation can
never fail to preserve and heighten. every
personal power and charm that she possesses.
There, you have the receipt. Some of
It Is in sportive form, but it IS not the less
sober truth. 1t has within it the cure for
many diseass--the preventive fer more.
It might be made longer; but when we see
its prescriptioGs universally adopted, it will
be time to bring forward the remainder.
