MISCELLANEOUS READING.
HEALTH OF WOMEN.

No lady ever lived who was not fond OF
being admired, and proud of being thought
handsome. What of that? they have right
to be so; and, indeed, We think it no SIN,
should they themselves have an intultive
knowledge of the fact. An erroneous idea
exists with many young ladies, that beauty
can exist without health, and to become pale
and delicate is a condition to be desired: the
thought of wearing the stout, robust appear
ance of health is simply ridiculous. Such
foolish notions are almost invariably produc-
tive of premature wrinkles, gray hairs, de-
cayed teeth, dull eyes. and bad complexlons.
Does the pale and delicate hue of the fading
rose compare in loyeliness and beauty to the
pure, rich blush of the full blown rose, bask-
ing in the suns warm rays, and slipping the
mornings early dew?
Health to all things gives beauty-it gives
brightness to the eye, clearness to the voice.
beauty's color to the cheek, elasticity to the
step. activity to the mind, and smoothness to
the temper 1t brings a happy, merry laugh,
and heart full ofjoy and love. Instead, then,
of pickles, candies, cosmetics, pomatums, etc.
ect., exercise in the sun and the open air, hunt
wild and drink the sweets of natures
music-the rustling of the forest leaves and
the melody of myriads of birds-walk in thick
shoes, rise early, take a bath, and walk a
mile eat moderately, and neither exercise nor
read for an hour afterwards, but laugh and
talk; then read, laugh, waltz, or sew.-4"d.
