How to Preserve Women.

There is nothing in the world that
we think SO much of as we do OF
woman. Our mother was a woman
wife, sisters, and pretty cousins,
are women; and the daughters will
be if { Heaven spare them they live
long enough. And there is a love OF
woman in general which we do not
deny. A fine magnificent specimen
of the sex, full of life and health, a
ripe, red cheek and flashing eye, is
something that does one good to look
at as she illuminates the humdrum
sidewalks, and every day streets. A
North River steamer, under full head
way, with colors flying, is rather a
pretty sight-rather stirring and in
spring; and we pull up our tired
nag to see her pass, and admire the
swell she cuts. Comparatively, how
ever, the steamer sinks into insignif-
lcance, or some other very deep wa
ter, by the side of well kept, well
dressed woman. There is no rubbing
it out women are the ornament
charm, blessing, beauty and bliss of
life mems life, we mean, of course. J
Any 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 soaked in brandy
over their mouths. You cannot put
them up in cans and seal them up
air-tight, without injurinS their form
and flavor. Now, as men are so de-
pendant upon women for ife's choic-
est blessings, proper mode of pre-
serving them becomes OF great mo-
ment, and we are sure that the public
will thank us for an infallible recipe.
Have the feet we'll protected, then
pay the next attention to the chest.
The chest is the repository of the vi.
tai organs. There abides the heart
and lungs 1t is from the impress
sions made upon these organs through
the skin that the shiver comes, it is
natures quake-the alarm bell at the
onset of danger. A woman may new
er shiver from the effect of cold upon
her limbs, or hands, or head {; bullet
the cold strike through her clothing
on her chest, and off goes her teeth
into chatter and the whole organism
is in commotion. One sudden and
severe impression of cold upon the
chest has slain its tens of ~ asauds.
Therefore, while the feet are we'll
looked after, never forget the chest.
These points attended to, the natural
connections Of the dress will supply
the rest, and the woman is ready for
the air. Now lot her visit her neigh
bors, 60 shopping, call upon the poor,
and walk for the good Of it, for the
fun of it.
Keep away from the stove or reg
lister. Air that is dry or burnt, more
or less charged with gasses evolved
by the fuel, is poison. Go up stairs
and make the beds with mittens on,
Fly around the house like mad, and
vOntillate the rooms. Don't sit pent
up in single room with double win
dows. Fruit will not retain its full
form or flavor in ON air.tight can
neither will women. They need air,
If the shiver comes on during these
operations, go directly and put some
thing moro about the chest.
Again, do not live in dark rooms
Light fades the carpet, but it feeds the
flower, No living animal or vegcta
bic can enjoy health in darkness, -
Light is also as necessary as air, ant
a brown tan is far preferable even al
matter Of beauty, to sickly pale
ness Of complexion.
Thus much is regarded to physica
means for preservation, There arc
moral means important, Every wo
man should be married to an excel
lent man. Marriage, IL true, bring
care and wear, but It is the ring tha
is worn that keeps bright, and th,
watch that lies still and unwounc
that gets out Of order. The swee
sympathios involved in the family ro
lation, tho new energies developed BY
new responsibilities, the new com
pensatiou for all outlaya Of strength
brings about q delightful play Of th'
