How TO PREsLRvE HEALTH IN HoT
WEArHER.-We remember no summer du-
ring which there was not promulgated, from
some source OF other, an infAllible receipt las
il is usually claimed) for the preservation of
health. But the following suggestions from
the Philadelphia North American seem to
possess the merit Of common sente, and a
compliance with their terms will certainly be
inexpensive We commend them to our
readers
First. Be always occupied, and in the
open air if possible, but not in the sun.
Second. Drink ice-water freely at meals,
but rarely or never at other times. Many
people destroy the tone Of the stomach, and
bring on all sorts Of diseases, by drinking to
excess of ce-watef.
Third. Eat foil and ample meals Of light
food, finishing with fruit deserts, melons in
cluded, but don't eat lunches.
Fourth. Don't sit down to lounge and
sleep in the day time, unless you have regu-
lar hour of sleep after dinner--a thing toler-
able with old gentlemen, but not with young
men.
Fifth. Be cheerful as well as active; stir
your friends as well as yourself up with Jokes
and jibes.
Sixth. Keep bottle of some one OF the
dozen good preparations Of mixed astringents
and tones, which any good apothecary OF
physician can name to you, always at mana

A Suggestion.

We thank Heaven, as it is our duty to do,
for most abundant harvest, but even this
has its depressing drawback in the great want
OF the necessary force to gather it. The wheat
in this region, heavy and now ripening, may
much of it be lost for want Of harvesters. We
have but few slaves, and the most of our work
ing men are in the army. Many farmers have
unusually large crops out and find it impos-
sible to secure sufficient force to save them.-
In.this emergency, wouldn't not be wise in.ths
commanding officers at the various points in
this partof the State, to detaila sufficient
force for the purpose7 They would be abb
sent from their camps but a few days At most,
and bread for thousands could be thus secur:.
ed. that otherwise may be lost Wetrustour
Commanding Generals will take this inpor-
tant matter into consideration, as bread Is
quite as necessary to carry on war, As powder
and lead

We called attention. last week to this ex.
cellent weekly Literary Journal published in
Richmond. It is edited by Mr.. JAMES D.
McCABE, Jr., son Of DR.. Jas. D. McCabe, for
merls Of this place. It was started a year or
two ago for the. purpose of supplying the
Southern people with home literature, and
we are gratifed 70 learn that the enterprize
has succeeded beyound the hopes Gifts pro-
jectors. The Magnolia is very handsomely
printed, and conducted with great taste and
ability. We hspe our people will afford our
young friend McCabe 4 testimony Of their ap-
probation of bis labors and public spirit, and
give him handsome circulation in this coun-
y, which he eminently deserves. x (.
The Magnolia IS about double the size Of
