The Swing as "A Cure for Consumption
From the Springfield (sfassJ Republican.
Iwish to say few words to "whom it
may concern" on the use of the swing--one
of tho gymnastic exercises--as apreventive
and cure of pulmonary disease. l mean
the suspending of the body by the hands
by means Of strong rope or chain fastened
to beam at one end and at the other a
stick three feet long, convenient to grasp
with the hands. The rope should be fas-
tened to the centre of the stick, which
should hang six or eight inches above the
head. Let person grasp this stick, with
the hands two or three feet apart, and
swing moderately at first--perhaps only
bear the weight, if very weak--and gradu-
ally increase as the muscles gain strength
from the exercise, until it NAV be used from
three to five times daily. Tho connexion
of the arms with the body with the excep-
ton Of the clavicle with tho sternum or
breast bone) being muscular attachment
to tho ribs, the effect of this exercise is to
elevate the ribs and enlarge the chest; and,
as nature allows no vacuum, the lungs ex-
pand TO gil the cavity, increasing the vol
ume Of air, aud preventing congestion or
the deposit of tubereulous matter. have
prescribed the above for all cases of hemor-
rhage of the lungs and threatened eonsump-
tiOn for thirty-fve years, and have been able
to increase the measure of the chest from
two to four inches within few months, and
always with good results. But especially
as preventive would recommend this ex-
ercise. Let those who love life cultivate n
well-formed capacious chest. The student,
the merchant, the sedentary, the young of
both sexes--ayO, all should have a swing
upon which TO stretch themselves daily 7;
and | am morally certain that if this were
to be practised by tho rising generation, in
dress allowing free and full develop
meut of the body, thousands, yes tens Of
thousands, would be saved from the ravages
of that oppro5rium medieoranl, eonsump-

Archbishop PurceII ON TaxatIon.

1t seems from report of some remarks
made by Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati,
on recent public occasion in that city, that
he is by no means satisfied with the decis-
ion of the Auditor of State, by which a
large amount of real estate in his name,
and used for the benefit of the Catholic
Churches and Societies of his See was
placed on the duplicate for taxation. In
speaking of new Catholic Institute, the
corner stone of which had just been laid,
the Archbishop is reported to have said:
Bishop Purcell next spoke Of the object
Of the new Institution. It will be to bold
primary assemblies of the people--to pass
judgment upon those who mistake the inter-
ests of government. They will diffuse
sound principles Of government, and if any
cannot stand the test, let him fall. They
will not allow the State Auditor at Coum-
bus to tax the blades of grass consecrated
for holy purposes-to tax the house of God,
so that his children cannot have breathing
spot. Applause. They aOiR tell the man
'Oho could tar the Sisters of Charity, lOho
gather up lille orphan children IN the
oFIeetSf Heut tS 70 WO nun. Applause. -
And the party ,Oho sustains him SHALL
FALL"
1t is q remarkable feature in Archbishop
Purcel's position in this matter, that he
should pass over the "party that enacted the
laws which subject to taxation 'the blades
of grass consecrated to holy purposes" &C.,
and vent all his spite on the poor auditor Of
State, who only erseuted the iaOs of the
State as he found hemi Not only so, but
''the party 1Oko sustdins him SHALL
FALL" This is pretty plain language.
Wohave been entertained very extensive
ly in days past by our Democratic friends,
with dissertations on the enormity and
wrong Of clergymen preaching politics,
and we hope now to see their anathemas
levelled at Archbishop Purcell, for this fla.
grant violation Of the rules Of the Demo
cratic Church. A failure on the part of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio Statesman, and
other organs of that party to denounce this
interference with political affairs, would do
much TO shake the confidence Of intelligent
people in the vicinity of their past preach
ing on this subject Toledo Blade.

A mother, sitting at work In ber parlor,

"Gook morning, my child"

The mother laid her work down 10 the

took him up. He kneelod in her lap, and
laid his face down upon her shoulder, bis

her chair slowly backward and forward.
