Good Adpiee.-In an article on Spring an ex-
change has some admirable suggestions in re.
gard to the preservation Of health. Itisadviscd
that no material change should be made in the
texture or the number Of articles of dress, and
particularly of the inner garments of flannel or
nerino, until the weather continues to be uni,
formly warm On the other hand, all undue
excitement of the digestive apparatus should
be avoided, and the cooling regimen, in all that
relates to food and drink, be carried out Elk
crcise should he moderate, whether, in saying
so, we address ourselves to the citizen who has
been restricted, during the winter, to his short
daily walk of business, or to the invalid and
convalescent, whose movements have been still
more circumscribed, or, Mt the most, very irreg-
ular and at uncertain intervals.
eThs prudent even in every moderate walk,
At first but sEunter, and by slow degrees
Increase their pace"
The stomach can no longer be loaded, and its
functions overtasked with the same comparative
ilnpunity as in the winter scason,-and hence
the dyspcptic is doubly bound to be careful
both in the measure and quality of his food
Stimulating beverages, tolerated in the former
period, will now be productive of fcbrilc dis
turbances and headache.

which recently SUM; at Napoleon, Arkansas,
arrived in-town yesterday. The crew barely es.

HnLsBoRo, Sept 9, 1858.
GENTLEMEN: There is fatal error in your publ.
cation of my essay Horizontal Ploughng and Hill
side Dtching, in the Standard Of yesterday. In
the fifth paragraph whole sentence is omitted. 1t
should have been as follows:
You will now fasten plumb line to the top of it
exactly, and placing the feet of the instrument
an even piece of ground, you will drop the plumb
and mark where the line crosses the bar, then
veyse the feet Of the instrument and again drop the
plunab and mark in the same manner, and the exact
centre between these two points gives you the true
level, which you will mark permanently with knife
saw. .-5 80.

which the highest possible magcificence is so
subservitent to good taste, as here. Inlaid

cious wood that you tread upon, with regret
capitals, cornices and ceiling -soffits of gold
walls overlaid with futed silk giant candel-

make this a truly Imperial residence. The

carved work that of St. Alexander Neves
Ky is sumptuous in blue and gold; st. Waldi-
mir in crimson and gold: while that of St

gold, and the furniture of massive silver, but
in the centre of every door is a Maltese cross
formed of the largest diamonds . The cyl
does not tire of this unwonted splenpor, nol
does it seem difficult to dwell even in sucl
dazzling halls.
