SPECTATORS AND CAPITALIsTs.-This hit will

little but was not yielding, merely making q
few objections for conscience sake.

ten or twelve years. They were looking into a to.

other

MIASM AND
Are the great death agents, throughout tn

Are the great death ngents throughout the larg-
portion OF the habitable globe.
Miasm is Malaria, but Malaria is not Miasm.
Miasm is an emanation from ~decaying vegetation
Malaria is bad air, whatever may be its source
All impure air IS Malaria.
Miasm is so rarilied by q sun of ninety degrees,
that 1t rises rapidly above us, and is innocuous.--
The cool OF the morning and evening of the sum
mer time condenses il, and causes il to fall TO the
surface of the earth, where il is breathed by man,
and is the fruitful cause OF pestilence, plague and
epidemic fevers. Thus the higher persons sleep
above the earth the healthier is the atmosphere.
While as the general rule, it is better to sleep in
apartments having q window and the fire place
open in all seasons, yet, where miasm abounds
evidencing its presence by chills and fever and
ague; diarrhoas. and the like, it is better to sleer
with closed windows than to have them open, be
cause men are known to fatten in jails aud small
prison cells, while the breathing of malaria n single
night has originated diseases which, from tho vic
lence OF the reaction, are scarcely distinguished
from the effects of swallowing corrosive poisous, q:
witness the National Hotel disease.
But although the air inside of a house is sup
Piled from the outside, yet if the windows ant
outside doors are closed, it is supplied ia such
small quantities, through the crevices, that il is n
once heated by the inner air and carried to thu
ceiling, where il is above reach. The difference
between the thermometer in our hall and the one
out doors, about five o'clock of a summers morn
ing, is ten degrees. Hence during the prevalence
of miasm, at least in August and September, it il
better to close the chamber windows, but let an in
ner doorand the fireplace be kept open.-HaU.
