CONSTITUTIONS CREATED.-To build up
good constitution, we must take good care
Of what we have, and add to it by pretty
hard work and moderate thought, until the
age of forty.five; then there should be less
work and more thought.
Bodily labor consolidates the constitution
up to forty-ive; then, mental labor pre-
serves it, Keeps it good to the verge of
fourscore years, if the bodily activities are
very moderate. As witness, Humboldt,
who was a great traveller in early life but
similar instances will occur TO intelligent
minds. The general idea is of great practi-
cal importance Work hard until forty
five think hard after, and all the while be
temperate in all things" This is the way
to live long.

Costumes of the Emperor aud Empires

The Easter holidays appear to have been
observed in Paris this year with more than or
dinary zeal. All Glasses entered hilsriously
into the enjoyment, favored by the most genial
springtide. Crowds Of holiday folks sought re-
creation and fresh air in the pleasure grounds
of the Bois de Boulogne, and on the wide plains
of st. Maur, close to Vincennes, where (on the
6lh) the great event OF the season, q steeple-
chase, "camo off, on the new grounds but
recently laid out. At this latter place the con.
course of people was 80 prodigious that It as
sumed quite the proportions Of national fes-
tivity, and probably it was for that reason, and
with view of studying the pbysiognomy OF the
French character under all it's phases, rather
than from any idea or love Of sport, that even
the United States Minister, as well as many
others Of bic diplomatic contreres, were present
on the field.
Early in the day the Emperor made his ap-
pearance, and was received with much warmth;
and when, later on, the Empress, who had driy-

gentlemen, descended from the imperial tri-

The Empress, whose toilettes are universally

made exceedingly ample, and sweeping out at
the back into half train; the only trimming
consisted in five rows OF white taffetas at the
lower part of the skirt, which was also repeated

The Turn OF LIFr.-Betwesn the years forty
and sixty, man who has properly regulated
himself may be considered In the prime OF life
His matured strength of constitution renders
him almost impervious to the attacks OF disease,
and experience has given him soundness to his
judgment. His mind is resolute, firm and
equal; all hia functions are in the highest order.
He assumes mastery over business. builds up a
competence on the foundation he has formed in
early manhood, and passes through period OF
life attended by many qualifications, Having
gone OIL year or two past Rixty, he arrives at

ever, constructed of fragile materials, and 1t
depends upon how 1t is trodden, whether il bend
or break. Gout and apoplexy era also in the
vicinity TO waylay the traveller, and thrust him
from the pass; let him grid up his loins and
provide himself with 6tter staff, and he may

Speech Of Governor Seymour.

State of q number of flags by some of the New
York regiments In the field
Gentlemen Of the Senate and ASSEMBLY,:
can add by no words of mine to this impres.
sive and solemn scene. You have heard from
the representative of the Senate, and from
member OF the Assembly Of the State. You
have listened to the earnest words of one who,
himself n soldier, can with so much truth and
eloquence depict the dangers aud the heroism
OF O soldiers life. You have heard, too, the
beautiful thought and musical language of the
poet. But above all, you have seen the banners,
which but short time since were carried forth
in all their brightness and their beauty, borne
by stalwart men, who went out from their happy
homes to fight the battles of their country,
brought back to us blood-stained and torn, and
telling ua more eloquently than can any Ian
gusge, of the heroism and devotion Of their
defende,s. Alas! for the unreturning brave!
Alas! that 30 few Of those who fought beneath
the folds of these flags are left to tell their hIs-
tory as they came forth from the terrible strife
detaced and tattered, but more dear to us than
10 their original brightness and beauty. will
not weaken the effect OF this touching and i'm
pressive ceremony by any further remarks May
Almighty God, In his goodness, grant that the
heavy sacrifices we have made may not be in
vain, but that with patriotism quickened and
elevated by the trials We have undergone We
may be taught to better appreciate and more
faithfully discharge the duties of American
citizens. And may He, who holds all nations
in the hollow Of His hand, pardoning our
many sins, restore to us our glorious be-
loved Union, 80 that we may again enjoy the
blessing Of peace beneath Government rein

aud the fierce struggles through which il has

Just before that session of Congress closed
one Of the gentlemen to whom have alluded,
informed me that arrangements had been made
to have the next autumn, In Boston, O select
meeting of the leading Federalists In New
England, to consider and recommend the meas-
ures necessary TO form system of government
for the Northern States, and that Alexander
Hamilton, of New York, mad consented to at
tend that meeting.
Soon after my return from Washington, l
adopted the most effectual means In my power
to collect the opinion of well-informed leading
Federalists in New Hampshire, upon the snb-
jeot. found some In favor of the measure,
but great majority of them decidedly opposed
TO the project; and from the partial and limited
inquiries made in Massachusetts, the result
appeared to me nearly similar to that in New
Hampshire.

owe il to you a. well as myself, to state ex.
plicitly that In the session of Congress IN the
winter of 1903 and 1904, was myself in favor
OF forming separate government in New Eng-
land; and wrote several confidential letters to
few OF my friends and correspondents, recon-
mending the measure. But sfterward, upon
thoroughly investigating and maturely consider
ing the subject, was fully convinced that my
opinion 10 favor of separation was the most err
roneOus that l ever formed upon political sub
jects. The only consolation had, was that my
error in opinion had not produced any acts in
jurious to the integrity of the Union. When the
same project was revived In 1903 and 1909, dur.

effort In my power, both privately and publicly,
TO defeat the attempt then made to establish
separate independent government in the North

Interesting Debate In the English
Parliament

NEW YoRK, May 6-Tre Australian, from
Liverpool 25th and Queenstown 26th ult., has
arrived.
The Norwegian took out brief advices of the
important debate in both Houses Of Parliament
concerning seizures Of British ships in neutral
waters and the protection granted by Minister
Adams to Mexican traders. Many speakers
urged that such proceedings cannot be tolerated.
Roebuek declared himself for war to put down
the upstart insolence. Ministers and their sup
lorters counselled moderation, and deprecated
the violence Of some speakers. Palmerston
simply said matters were being considered; but
Russell said the seizure Of the Dolphin and the
conduct of Adams would be represented at
Washington for redress. Many JOURNALS argue
that the American Government should lesr0 q
