twenty years has good prospect Of reaching
the age OF sixty-four years but it is an ascer-
tanned fact that confirmed drunkard at the
same age can reasonably expect TO reach only
the age Of thirty-6ve years. Now, IL the
drunkard at the age Of twenty sacrifices twenty
nine valuable years OF his existence, besides

from each debauch, what length Of life car

road on the mind, and sometimes even proves
at once fatal. All anxieties and perturbation
Of mind work mischief, Abbreviate life, and
must be avoided.
6. Keep the mind always cheerful, and be
at peace with all men, for contontment and
peace Of mind are conducive to longevity.
Z. Avoid sudden transitions from heat TO
cold and vice versa, or streams Of cold air
from promiscuous openings, and never allow
the body to become chilled, for then nature s
operations are retarded, as a steady tempera-
ture Of 100 0 is essential to health
8. Those whose duties do not oblge them
to bodily labor must take exercise daily, and
not, as is generally the rule with those occu-
pied in sedentary occupations, spend the re-
mainder of your time in perfect inactivity,
which, with impure air, immoderate living,
&c, induces host Of fashionable complaints
terminating with fashionable short lives.
3. No particular portion Of the body must
be worked at the expense of the mind, neither
must the mind be overtssked and the exercise
Of the body neglected, but both should be ex-
ercsed equally together.
10. Females, particularly while young,
must not, if health is to be maintained, com
press the vital organs into an unnatural posi-
ton by the abuse Of stays, thereby rendering
it impossible for those organs to perform their
duties freely, and, moreover, causing defor-
nifty in the body.
IL. Parents, If you love your children, do
not allow them to indulge in the filthy and
injurious habit of smoking. 1t is not neces-
ssry to dilate on it's banefu influence upon
both body and mind. Suffice it to say that
poison is taken into the system the digestive
organs, being robbed Of a large portion Of the
saliva (spittle)-an important fluid in dges-
tion-consequently cannot perfectly digest
the food the development and growth of the
body are retarded the mind is poisoned and
the youthful smoker digs for himself pre-
mature grave.

HOW TO PRESERVE HEALTH AND
PROLONG LIFE.

!. Avoid the impure air so common in
theatres, large assemblies, &c, where ventil-
alton is not only neglected but in many cases
impossible. The necessity of breathing pure
air may be seen when you consider that per-
son inhales about sixty hogsheads OF it in
p twenty flour hours. The atmosphere contains
twenty-one parts, or more than one-fifth, of
oxygen gas--the DEMONSTRATING principle Of
the sir--when inspired but when the air is
returned from the lungs it has lost nearly
one-hali Of that important portion of it, re-
placed by carbonic acid gas-a deadly poison.
Now, fancy some thousand of persons carry
ing on this for hours together in a close bull
dng-breathing the same air over again-apd
you will not be surprised that it should be so
soon unfit, from yitiation by respiration alone,
to sustain life. Remember that an ordinary
sized man in health will send to the lungs for
publication about twenty-three hogsheads Of
blood in the twenty-fonr hours. Now, if the
yitiated air of pent-up rooms and places is in
spired, how is this enormous quantity of blood
to be cleansed from its impurities
2. Keep your bedrooms also ventilated /;
to render this practicable the room ought to
contain for each sleeper 800 cubic feet (about
feet all ways of air, which must be chang
ed by ventilation, an opening being made in
the wall, near the ceiling, TO allow the impure
air to escape while fresh enters at the window
A fire will accelerate the removal of foul air
A man could not live "a hours completely
shut up in room feet square ali ways. Yet
how many rooms are there, little larger than
this and imperiectly ventilated, in which two
or three persons will sleep together The
consequences must be injurious, and Ifs cur
tailed, absolute purity Of air is esse initial to
the healthy existence of animal life.
8. Eat no more than is necessary for tht
support Of nature. Eat that you may live,
and not live that you may eat. Too much IL
not only useless but even pernicious to health.
