"Why will you put it in, Mary, if

gooi old aunt, in her quiet and cX.
pre-sive way.
"Whv, yon see. aunt, We have but

Eating and Sleeping.

Halls journal Of UealM says: -
I"For persons who cat three times a
day, it is amply sufficient to make
the last meal of cold brcad-and-
butter and cup Of warm drink. No
ono can starve on it, while n perse.
verance in the habit soon begets n
vigorous appetite for breakfast, go
promising OF a day Of comfort"
Yes. yes; and by omitting the
.hi"i "ooi, ,he ;"i;~;lnnl. besidcs
securing night of sleep, viii no,
find on awakening in the morning a
bad taste in his mouth, so indicative
Of general ioulness. ...
II ono would always have sweet
mouth and clean tongue, he can
secure them both by simply ceasing
to overtaX his stomach. This fire.
qucnt eating is an idle, mischievous
habit, ruinous to both health aud
comfort; and itprevents the individ.
nal from receiving the great amount
OF enjoyment which twas intended
he should receive from. eating, and
which is necessary to perfect nutr-
ton. .... ....t
Nothing should be eaten between
the regular meals, whether these
meals are taken either two or three
times dav; nor should one cat so
that the quantity ingcstcd will induce
hcaviness or uncomfortable feelings.
The cook tastes the food she pre-
parcs; and by this frequent tasting,
she destroys both the relish for her
meals, and her health. There are
many house-keepers who have the
same pcrniciouo habit
We know farmers who, at the
close of long summer day, during
which they have eaten heartily five
times. AMI worked harl from four
o'clock in the morning to nine at
night, eat freely just before going to
bed.
The stomach, already cnfecbled by
constant working under disaivan-
tagcons circumstances, has now inn
posed on It an impracticable task
and the men lie down t, slccp!-
Next morning they are ncrvclcss -
have scarcely slept all night feel
moro wearied than they did when
they lay down-and, on the whole
think the farmer lives dogs life
So he does, so far as he sinks t.
mere Misunderstanding to cat--tay
| ing his digestive apparatus Mt the
expense Of health. life, anil lies en-.
So on from day to day.
till nature makes q desperate effort
to rid the body of the supcrfluous
food introduced into it, burning it up
by fever, or expelling it by some
different remedial effort.
Farmers, being SO much in the
open air, with abundant exercise,
should be the hcaIthio,t people; bnt
like others who are cursed with
."abundance of brcad,' they are
rheumatic, bilious, dyspcptic. THIS
is a shame and a sin. Farmers! it
is sin. Your liver complaints, chill
levers, etc. are rs unnecessary as the
plague. Health and sweet sleep
will come to you when yon need, un-
lcss by had habits Won drive them
away. go, and sin no more
