MEDICINE will never remedy bad habits.
Indulgence of the appetite and indiscrim-
mate dosing and dragging have ruined
the health and destroyed the lives of more
persons than famine or pestilencc. Ifyou
will take advice, you will become regular
in your habits, eat and drink only whole
some things, retire and rise very regular
". Make free use OF water to purify
the skin; and when sick, take counsel of
the best practical man you know, and fol-
low nature.

GENTILlTY is neither in birth, wealth,
manners, nor faShion-but in the mind. -
A high sense Of honor, n determination
never to take mean advantage of another,
an adherence to truth, delicacy and po-
likeness towards those with whom we
have dealings, are the essential character
istics of Q gentleman.

One of the most important qualities OF
the female is sweetness Of temper. Hea-
ven did not give to women high powers
of persuasion and fascination in order
that they should be surlv; it did not make
them weak that they might be imperiOus !;
it did not give them q sweet voice to be
employed in scolding.

-THE tFadesman- who keeps his heart in

assured that the riches we obtain will soon
corrupt our affections.
