FAT YOUNG LADIES AND WIN.
EGAR.

Taken in moderation. says Black
woods Magazine, there is no doubt
that vinegar is beneficial, but, in ex>
cess, it impairs the digestive organs.
Experiments on artificial digestion
show that if the quantity of acid be
diminished, digestion is retarded ; if
increased beyond certain point, dis
geston is arrested. There is reason,
therefore, in the vulgar notion, un-
happily too fondly relied on, that vim
egar helps to keep down any alarm
ing adiposity, and that ladies who
dread the disappearance of their
graceful outline in curves Of plump.
ness expanding into fat. may arrest so
dreadful a result by liberal potations
of vinegar; but they can only arrest
it at the far more dreadful expense
of their health.
The amount of acid which will keep
them thin will destroy their digestive
powers. Portal gives case which
should be a warning: A few years
ago, a young lady in good circumstan.
ces, enjoyed health she was very
plump, had good appetite, and Il
complexion blooming with roses and
lilies. She began to look upon her
plumpness with suspicion; for her
mother was very fat, and she was
afraid of becoming like her. Accor.
dinghy, she consulted IA woman, who
advised her to drink glass of vine.
gar daily. The young lady followed
her advice, and her plumpness dimin-
ished. She was delighted with the
success of the experiment, and con-
tinued it for more than month.
She began to have cough; but it
was dry at its commencement, ana
was considered as light cold, whl ch
would go of. Meantime, from dry
it became moist, slow fever came
on, and a difficulty of breathing; her
body became lean, and wasted away /;
night sweats, swelling of the feet and
limbs, succeeded; and diarrhna ter
minated her life"
Therefore, young ladies, be boldly
fat Never pine for graceful slim
ness or romantic palior; but if ma
ture means you to be ruddy and
round, accept it with laughing
graoe, which will captivate more
hearts than all the paleness OF a cir.
culating library. AT any rate, un-
derstand this ; that if vinegar will di-
minish the fat, it can onl y do SO by al
fecting your health.

LYING IN BED.-NO piece oil lndO-
lcncc hurts the health more than the
modern custom Of lying abcd too long
in the morning. This is the general
practice in great towns. The inhab-
ilants Of cities seldom rise before
eight or nine o'clock; but the morning
is undoubtedly the best time for eXcr-
else, while the stomach is empty and
the body refreshed with sleep. Be-
sides the morning air braces and
strengthens the nerves, and in some
measure answers the purpose OF Il
cold bath.
Let any one who has been accuS-
toned to lie in bed till eight or nne
o'clock, rise by six or seven, spend
couple of hours in walking, riding or
any active diversion without doors,
and he will find his spirits cheerful
and serene Throughout the day, his body
braccd and strengthened. Custom
soon renders carly rising agreeable,
and nothing contributes more to the
preservation of health. The inactive
