There Is probably not another people
TO Be found, that take 10 little exercise
"out of doors" as those living in the cit.
ies and large towns Of the Northern
States. This indoor confinement ID the
direct occasion Of two great evils, lin
pairec health, and destruction Of yiyac-
ity.. To be healthful and cheerful, muca
time should be passed in the sunlight,
where oxygen may be Inhaled without
stint. Stay in the house, shop, store,
Office, study, sanctum, or other con6ue-
ment, where carbonic acid gas and other
impurities are brcnthed again and again,
aud it would be very extraordinary ii such
persons always maintained cheerful hearts
and enjoyed good health.
Among the Germans in fatherland,
(and it may be true of them here, their
constant cheerfulness and gaity would be
marvel to our sad, grumbling people,
out of temper, because out Of health and
out Of spirits. Enrly in the morning,
from four o'clock until ten in the even
ing, the thoroughfares in and about the
cities in Germany are thronged with lads
and lasses, vending their way to the pub
lie gardens and other places of resort,
where social pleasures are freely enjoyed,
and the heart il made glad, and the
health and vigor of the body improved
and preserved.

thy of note. the ladies' are not afraid of
being Drowned by the suns rays and the
heslth.giving breezes. They will spend
hours in the sunlight, daily, aud do mar
vel that any should object to such au air
ing.
Can any one wonder at tho superior
ROBUSTNESS and cheerfulness of the wo-
men of Germany, Italy, and other Euro
pean countries, over the women of the
northern cities of our country, after con-
templating the difference in their habits?
Mothers should encourage their daurh-
ters, especially. to take much exercise 10
the open air, and do not compel them to
take the measured, boarding school step.
Allow them to run, skip and hop, as if
they were really alive and full of joy and
life.
Any girl, from the age of ten to TWEEN
ty years, wfo is in possession of ordinary
health, should so aceustom herself to
walking, as not to be dependent on the
cars or the omnibuses in case she desires
to visit Mount Auburn or any other de-
sirable place Of resort within six miles of
the city. Yet, as daughters arc now

If not accustomed to walking, begin
by exercising moderately, increasing
little every day, until you arc able to
walk three, six, or twelve miles day.
The pleasures of life will be greatly
