WALKING for young and active people,
is by far the best exercise; riding is good
for the elderly, the middleaged and inva-
lids. The abuse of these exercises consist
in taking them when the system is exhaus-
ted more or less by previous fasting or by
mental labor. Some persons injudiciously
attempt long walk before breakfast, under
the belief that it is conducive to health
Others will get up early to work three hours
at some abtruse mental toll The effect in
both instances is the same +; it subtracts
from the powers of execution in the after
part of the day. A short saunter, or some
light reading before the best indulgence of
the kind; otherwise the waste occasioned
by labor must be supplied by nourishment,
and the breakfast will necessarily become a
heavy meal, and the whole mornings com
fort sacrificed by weight at the chest from
imperfect digestion of food These obser-
vations apply especially to elderly persons
who are prone to fatter themselves into the
persuasion that they can use their mental
or bodily powers in age as in youth.

PROFESSIONAL TACT.-A wealthy lady
had tickling in her throat, and thought
that bristle of her tooth brush had gone
down and lodged in her gullet. Her throat
daily grew worse. 1t was badly infamed,
and she sent for the family doctor. He
examined it carefully, and finally assured
her that nothing was the matter-it vas a
mere nervous delusion, he said. Still her
throat troubled her, and she became so
much alarmed that she was sure she would
die. A friend suggested that she should
call in DR.. Jones, young man just COM
mencing practice. She objected at first,
but finally consented. He was person of
good address and polite manners. He
looked carefully at her throat, asked her
several questions as to the sensation at the
seat of the alarming malady, and finally
stated that he thought he could relieve her.
On his second visit he brought with him a
delicate pair of forceps, in the teeth of
which he had inserted bristle taken from
an ordinary tooth brush. The rest can be
imagined The lady threw back her head;
the forceps were introduced in her mouth;
pick-a loud scream and twas all over;
and the young physician, with a smiling
face, was holding up to the light and in
specting with lively curiosity the extracted
bristle. The patient was in raptures; i'm
mediately recovered her health and spirits,
and went about everywhere sounding the
praise of "her savior" as she persisted in
calling the dexterous operator.

Patriotic Leeches.

Tis strange, indeed, in times like these,
How many show their feeling,
And love of country in kind
Of gently o'er me stealing ~
One man goes prating long and loud
About our bleeding nation ~
But while the soldiers cape around
He robs them of ration.
Another with long face he asks
A blessing on our forces;
He wants chance to try his hand
In contracting for horses
He's loyal to the Stars and Stripes,
He voted, too, for Jackson"
AS long as his contract lasts he says,
"Old Abe, just lay the tax on I''
AnOther's oldest brother went
To school with Mrs. Lincoln;
To show bis love of country, he
Would furnish it with tin cans
He'd like to cup old Uncle Sam,
And try that style of bleeding
And all the while he prates about
This damnable seeding"
Another wants a suffers birth;
To fight he isn't able !"
And so he'd like to do his share
By furnishing the table -
" He loves his dear old country's flag,
And Yankee Doodle Dandy :"
And so he shows his love for them
Ry selling poisoned brandy
Go where you choose, look where you will
You'll find these army leeches
In church, in Congress, on the stump
making Union speeches.
Round bar-roOm fires on wintry nights
They drink their whisky toddy;
IN, bair
The men they clothed in shoddy
Away with all such men as these,
Who rob our flags defenders !
To Warren and to Lafayette
With all such base pretenders
And if at all our dear old flag
Is to be rent asunder,
Let it be done by rebel hands
And not by those of plunderi

WRITTEN FOR THE STATESMAN,
My Loved Cigar.

Ofglory and fame, or loves soft fame
Ofth rich and glowing vine
Ol sage or king let others sing,
But this be lay of mine:
Though woman and wine are both divine.
And though love is the poets star,
Such themes to others now resign
To sing of My Loved Cigar.
Then bring the flame, we'll light the same,
And let the toast proceed -
Though love and wine are both divine
Huzza for the fragrant weed
Though womans praise than poets lays
Is sweeter to manhoed's ear,
And the dazzling light other beauty bright,
AS love to the bard is dear;
But her praises fair, like smoke in the air,
Each breath may blow away,
And the witching vile of her dazzling smile
But lures us to betray.
Then 1e1 bring the fame, as we light the same
Wen give you the smokers creed
Though woman and wine be all divine
huzza Tor the fragrant weed
Though rich the glow in its generous flow
or the bright and ruby wine,
ana though worthy fame and an honnrHd -'e -
I5ttfe cup natn a sting hich too oft doth bring
To its sweetness its own alloy,
And foul SANDERS loathsome taint will cling
To the fame it may not destroy.
Then bring the f1ame-away with fame
And the red wines sparkling bead =
Be ours the joy, without alloy,
We draw from the fragrant weed.
Then let poets rare sing of ladies fair,
Or of glory and wars renown.
With my loved cigar 1 am happier far
Than the monarch with his crown.
AS its balm prove but laugh at love;
Ambition view as joke
With thee, trusty friend all my troubles end,
Loved cigar, like thee. in smoke.
Then bring the flame, as we light the same
This still be the toast read:
Of the joys we love there are none above
The tume of the fragrant weed

AS TO THE TROUBLE AT SALT LAKE
The Alta has the following telegram:

AS TO THE TROUBLE AT SALT LAKE
The Alta has the following telegram:
Salt Lake, March 10.-There was much
excitement in this city yesterday, as the
people we're in arms, under the belief in
the rumors that Col. Conner designed TO
make military arrests of Brigham Young
and others, for alleged violation of the anti
polygamy law, (if there be such) an afida-
Wits that the civil process would be resisted
The people here are resolved to resist the
uncalled-for military arrests until the civil
process be resorted to.
Last evening, warrant, issued by Judge
Kinney, was served on Brigham Young, by
the United States Marshal, without any re-
sistance, and bail given for his appearance
this morning. No troops are needed to
enforce any law in Utah. All is quiet now,
and no danger of any collision unless pre-
cipitated by indiscretion on the part of the
military.
Fhe despatch sent to the New York Her
aid, and resent to San Francisco, was a
private message, and reference would not
be made thereto now, butwe anticipate, that
Gen. Wright would stop Conner in his pre-
cipitate movements.

FEMALE SOCIETY AT THE WHITE House.
Washington correspondence of the Bos-
ton Journal says:
The inner circles of what may be called
the Presidential society have always been
the subject of much comment and gossip
among what may be termed the outer cir
cles. Thus, Mrs. A bigail Adams, wife of
Presid :nt John A dams, wrote as follows of
Mrs. Washington "She endears herself
to all. Not by what she is so much as by
what she is not, and makes up by cordiality
the shortcomings of an early education"
In turn, Mrs. Adams was commented upon
as follows, in one of the private letters of
the day: ''She is prim, cold, and possesses
too much mind for the very little heart chat
hardly seems to beat under her taffeta
gown" By the aristocracy of Virginia,
Mrs. Madison was called the Quaker wild
ow, and gentlemen were too fond of her So
cleiy" in the common parlance of the day.
The manners of Mrs. Monroe were "two
much of the French school, and it was as
serted that the neice of Gen. jackson (who
presided over his household) "had no man.
ners at all Mrs. Harrison left the White
House before her manners were developed
and while the first wife of John TYLER
was too old, the second was too young
Mrs. Polk wore shawls and turban" as
well as paste jewelry; Mrs. Taylor "did
not receive;" Mrs. Fillmore was deaf"
Mrs. Pierce, sad and afflicted, 'never laid
Eff her ,pnnrning:" and Miss. Lane was
Queen Victoria"

THE LONDON TIMES SUBsIDIzED.-A
distinguished Alabamian, who has succeed
ed in escaping from Dixie with his family,
says that he is cognlzant of the fact that
the London Times has been subsidized by
rebel gold. OF the S2l 100000 of specie
belonging to the New Orleans banks, and
which was spirited off into the interior of
Georgia when that city was restored to
Federal authority, $4,O0O,OO0 found its
way to Europe through our blockade. And
of the cotton that was run through our
lines, the most of it was upon the rebel
Government account. The proceeds of
these shipments formed the nucleus of the
fund which went and still goes to subsi-
die the Times and its coadjutois on the
Continent and in England in their work of
corruptng public sentiment over the water
against the national cause and the cause of
human liberty.

A WOMAN WITH THREE HANDs.-The
London Lancet gives curious account Of
a woman with three hands, which was COM
municated to the Royal MedicSl Chirurgi-
cal Society by Jardin Murray of Brighton.
The patient, aged 98. was a well devel-
oped, healthy, active and intelligent wo-
man. She was married, and has one child.
in all respects normal. None of her rela-
tions had been or is the subject of mal-for-
nation. The left upper extremity is the
only abnormal part. The limb was mus
cular, the shoulder natural, and the exter-
nal condyloid ridge of the humerus was
prominent. The fexion of the elbow was
somewhat smaller than that which it so
strangely accompanied. The thumbs we're
rudimentary In working as charwoman.
the patient leans on tie back of the fexed
carpus. The double hand could grasp
firmly, though the maximum of power was
not equal to that of the woman's right
hand. Sensation was equally acute in the
three hands.
