Philosophy OF Exercise.

All know that the less VIC exercise
the less health we have, and the more
certain are we TO die before our time.
But comparatively few persons are
able to explain how exercise does pro.
mote health. Both beast and bird, in
a state of nature, arc exempt from dir
ease, except in rare cases; It is because
the hc'unappeasable instinct Of searching
for their necessary food iihpels them to
ccascless activities. Children, ,whenle left
to themselves, eat q great deal and
have excellent health, because they
will be doing something all the time,
till they become SO tired they fall a.
leep; and as soon as they wake they be-
gin right away to run about again; thus
their whole existence, which is inter.
csting and pIeasurable. The health Of
childhood would be enjoyed by those
of maturer years, if like children, they
would cat only when they are hungry
stop when they have bone, take rest in
sleep as soon 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
enlivenmcnt of the & feelings the mind
is of comparatively little value.
l Exercise is health-prodncing, be-
cause it works off and ont ofthe system
its waste, dead, and etfe.' matters;
these are all converted into liquid
form, called by some ,humors, which
have exit from the body through the
pores of the skin, in the shape Of per-
spiration, which all have seen, and
which all know is the result ofexercise,
then the body is in state of health.
Thus it is, that persons who do not
pcrspire, who have a dry skin, are al
ways either feverish or chilly and arc
never well, and never can be as lorg
as that condition lasts. So exercise,
by working out of the system it's
waste, decay, and useless matters, keeps
the human machine FREQ; otherwise it
would soon clog up, and the wheels of
life would stop forever
. Exercise improves the health, be-
cause every step man takes tends to
impart motion to the bowels; proper
amount of exercise keeps them acting
once in twenty-four hours if they
have not motion enough, there is con-
stipatiOn, which brings on very many
fatal diseases hence exercise especial
ly that ofwalking, wards off innumer-
able diseases, when it iskept up to an
extent equal tc. inducing one action Of
the bowels daily. -.,.
3. Exercise is hcalthful, because the
more we exercise, the faster we breathe.
five breathe faster, we take thatmuch
more air into the lungs; but it is the
air we breathe which purifes the blood
and the more air we take in, the more
perfectly is that process performed
the purcr the blood is, as everybody
knows, the better the health must be,
Hence, when person lungs are i'm
paired, he docs not take in air enough
for the wants of the system; that being
case, the air he does breathe should be
the purest possible, which is ont door
air. Hence the more a consumptive
stays in the house, the moro certain
and speedy is his death.--HdUs Jour
nal of Health.
