AN OLD MANS ADVICE. d sappoin

AN OLD MANS ADvIoE.-Some d. sappoint
ed old man, in the following advice, seeks to
make men suspicious of the girls.
Young men, keep your eyes open when
you are after the women. If you bite at the
nsked hook you are green. Is pretty dress
or form so attractive ? OF a pretty face, even?
Fiounces, boys, are of no consequence. A
pretty face will grow old. Paint will wash of.
The sweet smile of the flirt will give way to
the scowl Of the termagant. Another, and
far different being. will take the place of the
lovely goddess who smiles and eats your
sugar candy. The coquette will shine in the
kitchen corner, and, with one sparkling eye
and beaming countenance, will look daggers
at you. Beware. Keep your eye open, boy,
when you are after the women. If the dear
creature is cross and scolds her mother in the
back room, you may be sure you will get
particular rubs all over the house. If she
bushes when found at domestic duties, be
sure she is of the dishrag aristocracy little
breeding and great deal less sense. If you
marry woman who knows nothing but wo-
man-slaughter on the piano, you have got the
poorest piece of music ever got up. Find one
whose mind is right, and then pitch in. Boy,
don't be hanging around like sheep-thief,
as though you were ashamed to BE- seen in
the daytime, but walk up like a chicken to
the dough pile, and ask for the article like
man,

Philosophy OF ExERCrsE.-All know that
the less We exercise the less health we have,
and the more certain are we to die before our
time. But comparatively few persons arc able
to explain how exercise does promote health.
Both beast and bird, in state of nature, are
exempt from disease, except in rare cases it
is because the uDappeasable instinct of search
ing for their necessary food, impels them to
ceaseleSs activities. Children, when left to
themselves, eat great deal and have excellent
health, because they will be doing something
all the time, until they become so tired they
fall asleep; and as soon as they wake, they
begin right away to run about again; thus
their whole existence is spent in alternate eat
ing and sleeping, and exercise, which is inter-
esting and pleasureable. The health Of child
hood would be enjoyed by those Of maturer
years, if, like children, they would eat only
when they wers hungry, stop when they
are done, take rest in sleep as socn as they
are tired, and when not eating or resting,
would spend the time diligently in such mus
cular activities as would be interesting,
agreeable, and profitable. Exercise without
mental elasticity without an enlivenment ofthe
feelings and the mind, is ofcomparatively little
value
l. Exercise is health producing, because
it works off and out Of the system its waste.
dead, and effete matters these are all con
verted into liquid form. called by some
"humcrs," which have an exit from the body
through the ''pores" of the skin, in the shape
of perspiration, which all have seen, and
which all know is the result Of exercise, when
the body is in state of health. Thus it is,
that persons who do not perspire, who have
dry skin, are always either feverish or chilly
and are never well, and never can be as long
as that condition exists. So exercise, by
working out of the system its waste, decayed,
and useless matters, keeps the human machine
"'tree :" otherwise it would soon clog up, and
the wheels Of life would stop forever!
Exercise improves the health, because
every step a man takes tends to impart mo-
ton to the bowels; a proper amount of
exercise keeps them acting once in every
twenty four hours; if they have not motion
enough, there is constipation, which brings
on very many fatal diseases hence exercise,
especially that of walking, wards off innu.
merabe diseases, when it is kept up to an
extent equal to inducing one action of the
bowels daily.
3 Exercise is healthful, because the more we
exercise the faster We breathe.-HaPs Jour-
nal of Health.

The LOST LovER.-Genuine fun at times

The LOST LovER.-Genuine fun at times
gets into the church. In one of our meetings,
in which petitions from all sorts of presons
are read for ali sorts Of things, one was read
'for young woman who had lost her first
love- In the meeting was q erscn who
frequently took part, whose habit it was to
add ''er'' after some words such as 80 Lord
-er" "Hear our prayer-er p "Come and
bless USER" Being believer in falling
from grace, he he'd an eye to the young wo-
man who had lost her first love; he arose to
pray for her, which he did in this manner {:
80 Lord, hear the prayer-er Of this young
woman-er who has lost her first looer -
10 each repetition of the word he called it
clover" and so emphasized the word first
that the case seemed particularly hard from
the fact that it was her first lover she lost.
Had II been the second one, or any other, tbs
aEiliction would not have seemed so great ;
and as the ardent prayer went forth that The
lost lover might be restored, grave faces re-
laxed, and countenaaces unused to smile in
the house of the Lord could not resist the
temptation. The idea of stray lover being
the theme of prayer was comical indeed.
No one could keep his face straight.

is not distinguished for liberality, either of

fear OF being cheated. The loss, whether

more pain than the destruction of an entire
qavy. He once bought large cake of tai
low at a country store, at ten cents pound.
Ga breaking it to pieces az home it was found
TO contain large cavity. This hs considered
a terrible disclosure Of cupidity and Fraud
He drove furiously back to the store, entering
in great excitement, bearing the tallow, and
exclaining. ''i1ere, YOU rascal, you have
cheated me: Do you call that an honest cake
