E-r;v Breakfast.

Breakfast should be eaten in the morning,
before leaving the house fer exercise, or
labor of any description; those who do it
will be able to perform more work, and with
greater comfort aud alacrity. Besides this,
the average duration of the life Of those who
take breakfast before exercise or work, will be
n number of years greater than Of those who
do otherwise Most persons begin to feel
weak after having been engaged five or six
hours in their ordinary avocations; a good
mea, re-nyigoratcs, but from the last meal
of the day until next morning, there is an in
tcryal of some twelve hours hence the body,
in a sense, is weak, the stomach is weak and
in proportion cannot resist deleterious agen-
cies, whether Of the fierce cold of midwinter,
or Of the poisonous miasm which rests upon
the surface OF the earth, whenever the SUMS
shining on blai, Of vegetation or heap of
offal
This mia I'M is more solid, more concen-
trated, and hence more malignant, about
sunrise and sunset, than at any other hour
of the twenty four, because the cold of the
nj hit condenses II, AMI it is on the first few
inches above the soil in its most solid form;
but as the sun rises, it warns and expands
to point high enough to be breathed, and
being taken into the lungs with the air, and
swallowed with the saliva into the stomach,
all weak and empty as it is, it is greedily
drank in, thrown immediately into the cir
culation of the blood, and carried directly to
every part Of the body, depositing its poison
Gus influences at the very fountain head Of
life.
When in Cuba, many years ago, we OBJ
served that the favorite time for travel was
midnight; and the older merchants of
Charleston may remember that when deadly
fevers prevailed in hot weather, they dared
not ride into town in the cool Of the morning
or evening, but midday was accounted the
safest. We know, from many years living
in New Orleans, that it was when the even
ings and mornings were unusually cool,
balmy and delightful the citizens prepared
themselves for still gre ,ter ravages of the
deadly epidemic for the first few days fol-
lowing.
If early breakfast was taken, in regions
where chill and fever, and fever and ague
prevailed, and If, in addition, brisk fire
were kindled in the family-rooms, for the
hour including n'ct and sunrise, these
troublesome malades would diminish in any
one year, not ten-fold, but a thousand-fold,
because the heat of the fira would rarely the
miasmatic air instantly, and send it above
the breathing point. But it is troublesome"
to be building fires night and morning all
summer, and not one in thousand who

what will Satisfy the South 2

There are perhaps some well meaning peo-
pie who honestly think that the South may
be satisfied by some concessions by the
North, such as the repeal ofcertain Personal
Liberty Laws, so called, and the resignation
OF Lincoln and Hamlin; but we can assure
all sue, that they are mistaken. lvcrson,
Davis, and other recognized leaders and
opponents ofSouthern sentiment in Congress,
have formally declared that the South de-
mands a great deal more, even slave code
for territories, protection to slavery every
where, and cordial recognition by the peo-
RE CT the North Of the right of property in
man. In short every party in the Free
States, must give up all the principles they
have contended for, before the secessonists
will listen to cancellation, and even then S.
Carolina will seccde SO it seems that if we
were ever so anxious to eat dirt, it would do
no good we should humilatc ourselves for
nothing r..

THE Asrccs CT Trea sws,.

Treason seems to have high Old time OF
it about these days. There is treason in the
White House, treason in the Cabinet, treason
in both Houses of Congress, and treason in
most Of the Suites in the southern portion OF
tie confcderacy. South Carolina, one ofthc
original Thirteen, has committed the overt
act, has declared war against our beloved
Union, and with paracidal hands, is seeking
to pull down the glorious fabric octhc Union
about on heads.
And vet, strange as il may seem, they say
there Is no remedy Traitors stalk boldly
TIN ough the corridors Of Of the Capital, and
the miserable imb Gle who disgrac2s the
the scat Of Washington and jackson, looks
calmly or anproving'y on, while the pillars
Of the constitution are battered down, and
the ediiice erected by the father OF the Re7o-
luton, is crumbling into ruins. lie secs the
stars AMI stripes insulted and trampled in
the dust, by southern traitors, and offers no
word Of rcbuke--only seeks to cloak trea-
son under the ma k of religion, and impi,
ously appoints prayers to thatiust being who
hates tGai;ors, and viii always punish
treason.
What can de done Manifestly nothing
while traitors command the army and the
Navy and hold the purse and sword of the
Republic. Can Buchanan be impeached :?
Can Cobb, Thompson, Floyd and the rest of
the Disunion advisers AMI confederates Of
the President he displaced ? 1t might per-
haps be done ; but there are those who say
there is no remedy that loyal, union loving
citizens, can only look on, while tho ruin Of
our institutions is being perfected.
Unless Buchanan, Cobb, Floyd, Thomp-
son & Co., can be impcached, the functions
of their Offices taken from them, and the di
rection Of affairs placed in loyal hands, mani
festly nothing can be done, until this trait
orous administration comes to an end. We
cannot say what remedy Congress may de-
wise, even ifa majority were disposed toseek
one, neither can we say how long the MAORI
ty Oft the citizens Of the Republic, who are
unquestionably true friends of the Union as
it is, may be content to remain quiet specta-
tors, while those sworn to maintain and de-
(end the institutions Of the country, are
trying to overthrow them but it is clear, I'm
less something IS done speedily, to thwart the
Vaccinations Of the traitors, the disunionists
will become formidable before the 4th Of
March next.

They have been to us, to our country, and,

dwell upon much that affords pieasure--the
good will live, blossom, and bring forth fruit
in the garden Of recollection but the mis-.
