Don't do it, Girls.


There is practice quite prevalent among
young ladies Of the present day, which we
are old fashioned enough to consider very
improper. We aIlude to their giving .da-
guerreotypes of themselves to young men
who are merely acquaintance. We con
slider it indicate in the highest degree
We are a tonished that any young girl
should hold herself socheap as this. With
an accepted lover it is Of course all right.
Even in this case the likeness should be re-
turned if the engagement should by any
misunderstanding cease. If this little par
agraph should meet the eye of any young
girl about to give her daguerreotype to a
gentlemans acquaintance, let her know
that the remarks made bv vouno ne, y len =
itee s,eetthtier, concerning what is perhaps on
her part but piece of ignorance or impru-
'dence, would, if she heard them, cause her
checks to crimson with shame and anger.
Were it a sister of ourS.f" we have often
said with flashing eye, Were it q sister Of
oufst but that not being the case, we give
this advice to anybody's sister who needs
it, with our best bow, and most anxious de-
sire that she should preserve her dignity and
self-respect.

small Bed Chambers.

There is reason to believe that more cases
of dangerous and fatal disease are gradual
" engendered annually by the habit Of
sleeping in small, unyentilated rooms, than
have occurred from cholera atmosphere
during any year since it made its appear
ance in this country. Very many persons
sleep in eight BY ten rooms, that is il
rooms the length and breadth of which
multiplied together, and this again multi
piled by ten, for the height ofthe chamber,
would make Just eight hundred cubic feet;
while the cubic space for each bed, accord
ing to the English apportionment for hos
pitfalls, is twenty one hundred feet. But
more, s'in order to give the air of room
the highest degree of freshness" the French
hospitals contract for complete renewal Of
the air of room every hour, while the
English assert that double the amount, Or
over four thousand feet an hour, is requir-
ed. -Four thousand feet Of air every hour
and yet there are multitudes in the city Of
New York who sleep with closed doors and
windows, in rooms which do not contain a
thousand cubic feet Of space, and that thou
Island feet is to last all night, at least eight
hours, except such scanty supplies as may
be obtained, of any fresh air that may in
Isinuate Itself through little crevices by door
or window, not the eighth of an inch in
thickness. But when it is known that in
many cases a man and wife and infant sleep
habitually in thousand-feet rooms, it is no
marvel that multitudes perish prematurely
lin cities; no wonder that infant children
wilt away like flowers without water, and
that five thousand of them are to die in the
city Of New York alone, during the hun
dred days which shall include the fifteenth
of July 1861 Another fact is suggestive,
that among the fifty thousand persons who
sleep nightly in-the lodging houses Of Lon
don, expressly arranged on the improved
principles Of space and ventilation already
referred to, it has been proven that not one
single case of fever has been engendered in
two years. Let every intelligent reader
improve the teachings of this article, with
out an hours delay.-Halfs Journal Of
