The following is too good to be lost. The
author deserves a monument whoever he
may be, and we hope he will get his deserts
Iisa capital article, full of good practical
ssnse, and we believe il strikes al the "root
of the evit":
"There Is nothing in the world that we
think so much Of as we do of woman. Our
mother is woman-wife, sisters, pretty
cousins, are women; and the daughters will
be If (Heaven spars them y 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

flying, is rather pretty sight-ralher stir

women are the the rusmeut, charm, bess-

We mean, of course.) And 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 up in
sugar and set Them in a cold room, with
paper eeaked in brandy over their mouths.
You cannot put them up in cans aud seal
them up air tight, without injuring their
form and favor. Now, as men are SO de-
psndenl upon women for lis's choicest bless
iDgs, a proper mode oil preserving Them be-
comes of great moment, and we are sure
that the public will thank us for an inIaIlible
receipt.
Have the feet we'll protected, then pay the
next attention to The chest. The chest is The
repository of the vital organs. There abide

A woman never shivers from the effect of
cold upon her limbs, or hands, or head but
let the oold strike through her clolhing on
the chest and off go her teeth into chatter,
and The whole organism is in commoton.
One sudden and severe impression of cold
upon The chest has slain lie tens oil thousands.
Therefore, while the feet ale well looked af
ter, never forget The chest. These points at-
tended to, the natural connections Of the
dress will supply The rest, and The woman is
ready for The air. Now len ber visi, her
