Lying iIl Bed.

No piece Of Incidence hurts the health
more than the modern custom of lying
abed too long in the morning. This is
the general practice in great towns
The inhabitants Of cities seldom rise be
fore eight or nine clock; but the morn
ing is undoubtedly the best time for ex-
ercise, while the stomach is empty and
the body refreshed with sleep. Besides,
the morning air braces and strengthens
the nerves, and in some measure answers
the purposes of cold bath. Let any
one, who has been accustomed TO lie in
bed till eight or nine O'Clock, rise by
six or seven, spend couple of hours in
walking, riding or any active diversion
without doors, and hc will find his spir-
its cheerful and serene throughout the
day, his appetite keen, and his body
braced and strengthened. Custom soon
renders early rising agreeable. and moth
ing contributes more to the preservation
of health. The inactive are continually
complaining of pains, etc. These com
plants, which pave the way to many
others, are MT to be removed by medi-
cines; they can only be cured by Wig
orous course OF exercise to which. indeed,
they seldom fail TO yield 1t consists
with observation, that all very old men
have been very carly risers. This is
the only circumstance attending longcv-
ity to which we never knew an cXcep-
ton.

One night as my friend p and
myself, who were both students at cid
Yale, were out taking Il little walk
around the city, We found ourselves
at a late hour of the night before
the door of Il we'll known grocer by the
name Of Snip.

had eyed it somewhat contemplatively
"Nothing particular, Bob, said he

sign was down and we were off in tri,

and out popped the head ofSnip, crying

disappearing as fast as time would rer.

suddenly startled by the cautious tread

Rap, rap, rap, was the sound at the

man can enter into world unknown to
the ignorant, and altogether invisible to
the unassisted eye. In every plant and

leaf OF the forest, in the seeds. prickles,

beauties and liarmonies, and exquisite
cantrivances, of which. without this in

ception. In every scale Of haddock he
rerceives Il beautiful piece Of nct-w work,
admirably contrived and arranged, and

versitied structure, which no art could
initiate, terminated with pointed spikes.

ness appears to the naked eye. he tie

raj thousands Of beautiful transparent

mirabie pee Of mechanism which the

AAS hhAS ~ 8 - AA@S OAAC'
The following Revolutionary incident
which writer in the Philadelphia Pres,
has recalled, is Of peculiar interest al
the present time:
One Of the most thrilling reminiscen.
ces in the annals Of the American Rev.
olution, is related Of General Peter
Muhlenberg, whose ashes repose in the
burying ground Of The Old Trappe
Church, in Montgomery county, this
State. When the War broke out, Muh-
lenberg was the rector Of Il Protestant
Episcopal Church in Dunmore county
Virginia. On Sunday morning he
administered the communion Of the
Lords supper to his charge, stating
that in tAe afternoon OF that day he
would preach sermon on The duties
men owe to their country" At the APP
ointed time the building was crowded
with anxious listeners. The discourse.
il We remember correctly, was founded
upon the text from SoIomon-"There
is Il time for every purpose and for every
woik. The sermon burned with pat
rlotic lire; every sentence and intonation
told the speakers deep earnestness in
what he WAS saying. Pausing moment
at the close Of his discourse he repeated
the words Of his text, and then, in tones
Of thunder, exclaimed ''The time to
preach has past; THE TINE To FIGHT
HAS COME! and, suting the action to the
word. he threw from his shoulders his
episcopal robes and stood before his con-
sresation arrayed in military uniform.
Drumming for recruits was commenced
on the spot, and it is said that almost
every male Of suitable aye in the con-
gregation enlisted torwith.
