women are the ornament, charm, bessit x,

be devised for preserving them, should be
publicly made known. They are different
from amy other kind Of fruit. You cannot
pickle them. You cannot do them up in
sugar, and set them away in a room, with a
paper soaked in brandy over their mouths
You cannot put them IN cans sealed up air

Nov, as mon are so dependent upon women
Tor their choicest blessings, a proper mode Of
preserving them becomes Of great moment
and we arc sure the public will thank us for
an inlillible recipe.
Have the feet well protected, then pay the

let the cold strike through her clothing on

and the whole organism is IN commotion. -
One sudden and severe impre sion 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 attend

Keep away from tho stove or register. Air

Thus much in regard to the physical means
for preservation. There are moral means i'm

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

there is higher moral power than this-oue

the patience, and the JOY and hope that are
in possession of that woman whose heart IS
