''Most truly did Theodore Sedgwick

comprehensive digestion, who does the

manly form. 1t is Brougham with his
superhuman power of physical endu-
rance It is Franklin, at the age. of
seventy, camping out on hisway to rouse
the Canadas, as our hardest boys of
twenty now camp out in the Adirondack
or on the, Miramichi. It is Napoleon,
sleeping four hours, and on horseback
twenty. 1t is. Washington, with his

blessing to be thankfulfor and to be pre-,
served; but history is full of the tri

stacles, including thoseo of weak and
lshattered frames. If robust health has
its advantages so has the want of it; i
there is disability to certain extent anG
in certain form with the latter, the
former is beset with it's peculiar temp
tations, and strong men rush to destruc
tion with no sense of the eir responsible
ties. Il Of what use is a good body, ex
ceptas the dwelling place of "a better
soul? What soul puri fed, cultivated
filed with the love Of Christ, ever failed
to shine like a star, and to be blessing
