No man, or woman, should take bath at tie
close of the day, unless by the advice of the fam.

self out Of his life; ay, it is done every day.
The best, cheapest and most universally &C.
cessible mode Of keeping the surface Of Il 9
body clean besides the once a. week washing,
with soap warm WATER and hogs hair brush, is
as follows:
Soon as You get out Of bed in the morning. wash
your face, hands, neck, and breast then INTO the
same basin of water put both feet in at once, for
about minute, rubbing them briskly all the
time; then, with the towel, which has been dam.
pened by wiping. the face, feet, &c, wipe the
whole body well, fast and hard, mouth shut,
breast projecting. Let the whole thing be done
within five minutes.
At night, when you 60 to bed, and whenever
you get out of bed during the night, or when
you find yourself wakeful or restless, spend from
two to five minutes in rubbing your whole body
with your hands, as far as you can reach, in eve
ry direction. This has tendency to preserve
that soltness and mobility of skin, which is e.
Sential to health, and which too frequent wash'
ings will always destroy.
That precautions are necessary, in connection
with the bath room is impressiyely sgni6ed in

and position, lately after takinga bath soon after
dinner; of Surgeon Hume, while alone, in warm
bath and of an eminent New Yorker, under
similar circumstances, all within year.-Halrs

A TALE OF TEaRoR.-The following rather
marvellous story is told by one Of the Vienna
journals AS farmer OF Orsinovi, near that
city, was a few nights ago returning homo from
market, he stopped at n roadside public house,
and imprudently showed the innkeeper large
sum which he lad received. In the night the
innkeeper, armed with q poignard, stole into
the farmers chamber, and prepared to stab him /;
but the farmer, who, from the mans manner,
at supper, conceived suspicious Of foul play, had
thrown himself, fully dressed, on the bed, with
out going to sleep, and being powerful man,
be wrested the poignard from the other, and
using it against him, laid him dead at his feet.
A few moments after, he heard stones throw n
at the window, and voice, which he recognized
as that Of the nkeeper's son, said: "The grave
is ready" This proved to him that tho father
and son had planned his murder, and to avoid
detection, had intended burying the dead body
at once. He thereupon wrapped the dead body
in sheet, and let it down from the window
he then ran to the gendarmerie and stated whit
had occurred. Three gendermerie Immediately
accompanied him to the house, and found the
young man busily engaged in shovelling earth
into the grave "What are you burying7'
said they. "Only horse, which has just diedr'
You are. mistaken" answered one of their,
jumping into the grave and raising the corpse.
"Look" and he held up lantern to the hce
of the deceased. GOOD Godw cried the youIg
man, thunderstruck, "it is my fatherp He
was then arrested, and at once confessed all.
