EARLY BREAKFAST.

Breakfast should be eaten 10 the morning, be-
fore leaving the house for labor of any descrlp-
ton; those who do it will be able to perform more
work, and with greater comfort and alacrty than
those who work an hour two before breakfast
Beside this, the average duration OF the lie OF
those who take exercise or work VIII De number
of years greater than those who do otherwise.
Most persons begin to feel weak after having been
engaged five or six hours in their ordinary avoca-
tion good meal re-inv gOrates; but from the last
meal of the day until the next morning, there Is
an interval of some twelve hours; hence the body
In a sense is weak, the stomach is weak, and In
proportion cannot resist deleterious agencies,
whether of the fierce cold of mid-winter, or of
the poisonous missma which rests upon the sur
face of the earth, wherever the sun shines on a
blade of vegetation a heap Of offal. This
miasma is more solid, more concentrated, and
hence more malignant about sunrise and sunset
than at any other hour Of the twenty four, be-
cause the cold OF the night cOndenses it, and it is
on the first few inches above the soil in its most
solid form; but as the sun rises, it warns and
pands, and ascends to point high enough to be
breathed, and being taken into the lungs with the
air, and swallowed with the saliva into the stom-
ach, all weak and empty as it Isl it is greedily
drank in thrown Immediately into the circulation
of the blood and carried directly to every part of
the body, deposting its poisonous influence at the
fountain head of life. When in Cuba, many
years ago, we observed 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 even
ing, but midday was accounted the safest. We
know, from many years living in New Orleans,
that it when the evenings and mornings were
unusually cool, balmy, and delightful, the clti-
zens prepared themselves for still greater ravages
of the deadly epidemic for the first days following
If early breakfast taken in regions where
chill and fever, and fever and aguc prevail, if in
addition, brisk fire were kindled in the family
room, for the hour including sunset aud sunrise,
these troublesome maladies would diminish in any
one year, not ten fold, but thousand fold, be-
the heat Of the fire would rarity the mias-
matte air instantly, and send ii above the breath
ing point. But it is 4" Troublesome" to be build
ing fires night and morning all summer, and not
one in thousand who reads this will put the sug-
gestion into practice, it being "trouble," re-
quring no effort to shieer and shake by the hour,
daily, for weeks and months together; such is the
stupidity of the animal man !-HaLfs Journet Of

WOOD AND FREMoNT-A correspondent of
the Atlanta Southern Confederacy, who has seen
New York papers of recent date, writes as fol-
lows of Fernando Wood and John G. Fremont
Fremont aud Fernando Wood are still ntrigu-
ing for their respective schemes for the dismeuber
ment of what remains of the United States Ii
England engages in war with the United States
Government, its speedy destruction is highly prob
able. The whole North would instnctively per-
ceive the folly oftrying to stand up under the
burden of double war with England and the Con-
federate States. The almost certain overthrow
that would stare them in the face would greatly
facilitate Fremont'S scheme for Western empire.
1t would also add powerfully to the strength Of
Woods intrigues in New y ork.
Woods recent defeat for Mayor of New York
city should not be taken evidence of his failing
influence. There was triangular contest, each
candidate receiving nearly the number of
votes. Opdyke received plurality, though the
actual majority against him was $4,000. This
majority Wood can command for his new
scheme. In similar way Wood defeated in
1857; but, for the two years he sut of office,
he was as potent as if he had been at the head
of the city government
