NECESSITY OF ExERclsE.-Most of the
current ailments of mankind arise from want
of exercise. The body must undergo GER
tain amount of fatigue to preserve the mus
cles and organs in proper vigor. "When ex-
ercse is neglected" says the Latcs Of Heahh
"the blood gathers too much about the cen
trail region; and the oppression about the
heart, difficulty of breathing, lowness of spir-
its, anxiety and heaviness, numerous aches
and stitches, are evidences of this stagnation.
People are afraid to take exercise, because
they fancy they want breath and feel weak.
But the very effort would free the heart
from this burden, by urging the blood for
ward to the extremiies; it would ease the
breathing by liberatng the lungs from the
same superabundance; it would make the
frame feel active and light, as the effect OF
equalzed circulation and free action" A
brisk walk in lhe open air, daily, is worth a
whole shopful of nostrums.

How Corn Is PRESERVED IN RUssIA.--At a
late meeting of the Academy Of Sciences,
held in Paris, letter from NJ. de Semohoff-
a Russian landholder-was read, describing
the manner in which corn pits are made in
that country. The pit is dug in a dry soil,
and instead of masonry, the sides are harden,
ed by long continued exposure to a wood fire.
Before the corn is introduced, the air in the
pit ia rarifed by burning some straw in 1t, af,

A MoTHER's LovE.-Some of our readers
may recolect thrilling ballad which was
written on the death of a woman who per-
ished in the snow drifts of the Green Noun
tains of Vermont. That mother bore an in
fant on her bosom, and when the storm wax
ed loud and furious, true to mothers love,
she rent her own garments, and wrapped
then around her babe. The morning found
her stfitned corpse, but her babe survived.
That babe grew TO manhood, and became
the Speaker of the Ohio Senate. How thrill
ling must be his thoughts of that mother, ii
he be true, large-hearted man! How deep
a mothers love! How many mother is
there who would die for her sou, If called in
Providence to do sol Let sons, when far
away from home, on the land or on the sea,
when the eye of no mother is upon them,
remember her love, and DO restrained by il
from entering the path of vice. Let them
say nothing, Go nothing, which mother
would not approve, and they will never
bring down her gray hairs with sorrow to
the grave.

KANSAS SCENES IN WASHINGTON.

KANSAS SCENES IN WASHINGTON.
The outrages reputed to be perpe,raIed in
Kansas are trihing affairs in comparison with
the daily and nightly scenes Of real cruelty,
lawlessness and murder enacted in Washing
ton city. For months past that city has fully
equaled "rowdy Baltimore" in the number of
ouirages on life and property The WASH
ington correspondent OF the Charleston Eve
nlng News, writing on the 5th inst, says.
Rowdyism, robbery and murder still run
riot in the Federal Metropolis. On Saturday
evening between nine and ten o'clock, a party
OF young men took tramp through the
nOrthern part of the city. Going into uro-
Gerry store they called Cor cigars and liquor,
were waited upon, and departed without pay
ing their blli-the proprietor being glad, un.
der the circumstances, to get off so easy.--
Proceeding norlhward into the suburbs, they
overlook a young man named Cornell, be-
longing at Columbia College. They accnsted
him, questioned him closely about his place
OF residence, and demanded his spare change.
He handed them u quarter of dollar and
cert, stating that il was every cent that he
had about him. But not satisfied with the
amount, and expressing seeplicism of his
statement, one OF the party held pistol at
his head, while the others stripped him of his
watch and ilvd his pockets Of whatever they
contained, Then returning southwark into
the city, they met two Young men entirely
unknown to them--onr OF the two being
