BATHING.

Ablution is absolutely necessary for
the preservation Of beauty and healtl !.
In the East, the harems have in co
nection with them bathes, that tht
beauties may continue to have sos,
and elastic skins, and by the tonic ei
iect of cold water health may be pro.
longed. Pimples, alterations, an
many imperfections Of a light charar'
ter may be removed by the use Of the
bath. BY the removal Of fetid mat
ter from the surface of the skin. di--
coloration, black specks and rough
ness are often cured.
There are four kinds of water ns-
ed in cleansing the body: rain, sprin.
river, and sea water. Rain water j.

discretion. for the kind of bathing
that will suit some, will prove mis-
chievous to others; and some kinds vi
washing are hurtful to all.
Persons with tendency to heart
disease should never use the shower
bath and those subject to head COM
plant should make it rule to wet
the upper part of their person first
and but gradually wet the feet. The
vapor bath is seldom beneficial to per-
sons with pulmonary complaints. and
the warm bath is unsuited to thoAe OF
nervous. sanguine Temperament.
Bathing should be treated more SCI
entifically than it has been. 1t wo'd
be well il, previous to resorting to the
bath, people were to consult their
medical advisors as to the best mode
of bathing. The notion is too general
that all person are benefited by bath
ing in the open sea.

Tipping Nean Business..t

The Chicago journal, commenting
on the case Of a young man in Duhu
que, who, when arraigncd for =
drunken assault, protested to have
been standing up for his mother .
thus forcibly and justly expresses the
meanncss Of getting drunk:
/, tickIcs the vanity of some young 9
men to have the public say, "What a
pity that such promising youne man
should throw himself away = II is a
cheap way, they think. to ret the
credit Of possessing talent. Sober
mediocrity is less facinating TO them
than reputation for ability, won a. the
expeSsc of rcspectability aud happi-
ness. Those who are caught III such
spiders web show sad lack Of COM
mon sense, and mean and selfish
disregard for the feelings of their
friends. This instance Of standing
up for my MOTHER" while tearing the
very heartstrings ont, is only one
among ten thousand The fault is
partly with that public option for
which this poor fellow vas so solicit
ious. The public ought to make the
wretch who turns the holy JOY Of
home into the sulphurous flames Of
hell feel that lie is looked upon as the
quintessencc Of meanness. There are
nyriads in this land who have broken
the hearts of mother or wife, and
brought infinite sorrow into otherwise
happy households, whom public opin.
ion pronounces good fellows, when
they are in fact stepped in infamy to
the very lips, and ought to be held
up TO public scorn as ingrates who
CRAFTY base and governable appe-
tito at the expense Of those whom
they profess to hold most dear. The
most dutiful and affectionate child
can not repay the debt he owes TO her
who gave him life, and tenderly min
istered to his young wants, yet how
many there are who deliberately, for
there is always deliberation in drunk
enness, although the drunkard would
have us think otherwise, quaff the
drink that proclaims their own folly
and causes the misery Of those whom
they profess 10 hold in atfectionate
regard.-Sumptuary laws have their
uses, but the great need of the tenn
pcrence cause is not only the Main law.
but q public sentiment that shall
make young men feel that drunken
ness is sigh of mental weakness and
moral meanness, and not an amiable
vice, leaning to virtues side.
