LYING IN BED.-No piece of indolence hurts the health more than the modern custom of lying abed too long in tue morning. This is the general prac- tlce in great towns. The inhabitants of citie sell dom rise before eight or nine o'clock but the morning is undoubtedly the best time for exercise, when the stomach is empty and the boiy refreshed with sleep. Besides, ths moring air braces and strengthens the nerves, and in some measure an. swsts the purpose of cold bath. Let any one, who has been accustomed to lie in bed till eight or nine o'clock, rise by six or seven, spend couple of hours in walking, riding, ar any active diversion without doors, and he will find his spirits cheerful and serene throughout the day, his appetite keen and his body braced and strengthened Custom soon renders early rising agreeable, and nothing contributes more to preservation of health. The Inactive are continually complaining of pains, etc. These complaints which pave the way to many oth ers are not removed by medicines; they can only pe cured by vigorous course of exercise, to which they seldom fail to yield It consists with observa lion that all very old men heve been early risers Ihs IS tue only circumstance attending longevity fly to which We never know an exception.
