cellent Advice.

North River steamer, under full headway,
with colors flying, is rather stirring and in
splrlng-and we pull up our nag to sec her

There is no rubbing it out; women are the
charm, blessing, beauty, and bliss of life
mems life, we mean, of course. Any means,
therefore, that can be devised for preserving
them should be publicly made known. They
arc different from any other kind of fruit
You cannot pickle them. You cannot do
them up in sugar and set them away in room
with paper soaked in brandy over their
mouths. Iou cannot put them in cans seal
ed up air-tight, without injuriug their form
and flavor. Now as men are SO dependent
upon women for their choicest blessings,
proper mode Of preserving them becomes of
great moment, and we arc sure that the rub-
lie will thank us for an infaiablc recipe.
Have the feet well protected then pay the
next attention to the chest. The chest is the
repository of the vital organs. There abide
the heart and lungs, 1t is from the impress
sion made upon these organs, through the
skin, that the SILVER comes; it is natures

ger. y woman may never shivcr from the eff
tects of cold upon her limbs or hands or head,
but let the cold strike through her clothing
on her chest, and go off to her teeth into a
cattcr, and the whole organization is in com
motion One sudden aud severe impression
OF cold upon the chest has slain its tens of
thousands. Therefore, while the feet are well
looked after, never forget the chest These
points attended to, the natural concoctions of
the dress will supply the rest, and the woman
is now ready for the air. Now let her visit
her ncighbors, go shopping, call upon the
poor, and walk for the good of it-for the fun
of it,
Keep away from the stove or register Air
that is dry or burnt, more or less charged with
gases evolved by the fuel, is poison Go up
stairs and make the bed with mittons on
Fly around the house like mad and ventilatc

directly and put something more about the
breast
Again, do not live in dark rooms Light
fades the carpet, but it feeds the flowers. No
living animal or vegetable can enjoy health in
darkness. Light is as necessary as air, and
brown tan is preferable, even as a matter of
beauty, to sickly paIcncss of complexion.
This much in regard to the physical means

to an excellent man. Marriage, it is true,
brings care and wear, but it is the ring that
is worn that keeps bright, and the watch that
lies still unwOund that gets out of order The
sympathies involved in thc family relation
the new energies dcyoivcd by new responsible
ltles, the new compensation for all OUTLAWS of
strength, bring about a delightful play upon
the heart and the intellect, which, in their re-

KNOXVILLE AND KENTUCKY RAILRoAD.
The opening of the Nashville and Louis
vile Railroad, has shown the incapacity of
t'lat, or any other road, to do all the bust
ness, in passengers and freight constantly
pressing upon it, and it has demonstrated
the necessity of the early construction of the
Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad. Even
two roads could not now send forward the
corn, -four, bacon, and other heavy frcights
offered, and destined for the cotton States
South of u.s.
At present, the shortest route from Allan
Ia to Cincinnati, would be only 400 miles =
The route via Knoxville passes through the
most extensive and incXhaustible coal and
IRON regions in the world; and the compile
ton of our route, would at once build up the
great manufacturing establishments of Louis
vile and Cincinnati We name LIS fact for
their consideration. We shall soon have
completed the first thirty miles of this road,
starting out from this city. The track laying
viii commence in a few days
There is a great meeting in Cincinnati at
this time, and Nashville has sent up strong
delegation. The East Tennessee and Geor,
gla Railroad Company has sent up three able
dclegates-the Knoxville and Kentucky Rail
road Company have despatched three more
strong and efficient dclcgatcs-and our city
authorities have sent delegation suited to
the occasion. If Kentucky and Ohio will
look at the thing as it is, this is the route for
their interests. s.-KnonoiUe Wing.
AT late ball in Paris very stout gentle
man, proprietor of bad catarrh and very
charming wife, insisted, very incOnveniently
at the close of polka that madame should
return to the bosom of her family. "Nover
mind, she said to her partner; "ask me to
dance in the next quOdrille all the samc--I
will find way to stay for it." Slipping out
while the sets were forming, she went into the
gentlemen's dressing room, found her hus. !,
bands hat, and threw it out of the window.
