Exercise for Old People.

Exercise is all very we'll for, growing
boys and sturdy men, but ii is absolutely
indispensable to the health and happi-

tion; but in the name of humanity, do
insist that every old person shall keep
the free use of his muscles, and be able to
war successfully against gout and palsy.
Don't know about it! | am getting to be
very stiff already" says a stout gentle
man of fifty. To be sure you are. my
dear sir; but If you will wear soft flannel
next your heart, and fall in love anew
with vigorous measures, l warrant you
a renewed youth, to return with all the
suppleness of five-and.twenty. Exercise
will exercise stiffness, and leave you a
serviceable back bone still, morally and
physically. You are going already; but
many a circus rider at your years, despite
his reckless dissipation, can rival Nj.

The common maxim, that "a young

used i'm extenuating the tendency OF
Young men to habits OF dissipation. A
conclusive and unanswerable reply to
this fallacious statement has been made
by Thomas Hughes, NJ. p, an enthusi-

sports and pleasures, and one in genuine
sympathy with the noble and ardent as
prations of youth, as is evident from his
popular books, "Tom Brown at Rugby"
and "Tom Brown at Oxford" HH
This distinguished Englishman says
to young men: "In all the range of ac-
ccpted British maxims, there is none,

nabe than this one as to the sowing OF

ing excellent advicc:-
We can sing away our cares easier than
we can reason them away. The birds
are the earliest to sing in the morning;
the birds are more without care than
ANYTHING else know Of Sing in the
evening. Singing is the last thing that
robins do. When they have doac their
daily work. when, they have flown their
last flight, and picked up their last NOR
scl of food, and cleansed their bills on q
naDkin of a bough, tlIen on top twig,
they sing one song of praise. / Know
they sloeD sweeter for il. They dream
music: for sometimes in the night they
break forth in singing, and stop suddenly
after the first note, startled by tnelr own
voice. o, that we might sing evening
and morning, and let song touch song all
the way through. AS | was returning

Protecting Cuoumbers, Melons, Etc.


After trying various modes for pro-
tecting melons and cucumbers from the
striped bug and other insects, we find the
following superior to any other:
1.-TWO small twigs of osier or other slen-
der wood about a foot and half or two
feet long, are bent over the hill of young
plants and the ends thrustin the ground.
A newspaper Is then placed upon the
curved stick coveringthe whole, and the
edges are fastened down all around by a
covering of earth. This constitutes the
whole contrivance, and affords complete
protection from all insects; the paper
being thin and porous, admits sufficient
supply of air and light, at the same time
sheltering from cold winds. Plants thus
protected have grown twice as fast as
those fully exposed. Another advant-
age of this mode is the protection 1t af-
fords from night frosts, rendering 1t ad-
mirably adapted to plants which have
been early removed from the hot bed.
Lastly and not least, IL its cheapness. A
gardener apply it to dozen hills i'm as
many minutes by the watch, the ma
teral costing nothing to any one who
takes u newspaper. Unless the paper is
very thin and fragile, heavy rains will
not break 1t. Strong plants sometimes
burst through tat better way, when
they become large, Is to tear hole In
the top, the remaining paper at the sides
still aff0rtling some protection, although
plants Of this size are usually safe from
Injury. We obtained the suggestion
fronl,some paper, but improved upon 1,

The Tyrians were probably the only
people OF antiquity who made dyeihg
their chief occupation, and tho staple of
their commerce. The opuleuce of Tyre
seems TO have proceeded in great meas
ure from the sale of its rich and durable
purple. Ii il unanimously asserted by
all writer's that Tyrian was the inven-
tor of the purple dye, about 1000 years
Is. c., and that the King OF Phmnicla
was so captivated with the color that he
made purple one Of his principal orna-
ments, and that, for many centuries
after, Tyran purple became badge OF
royalty. so highly priced was this color
that in the time of Augustus, q pound or
wool dyed With 1t, cost at Rome n sum
nearly equal to thirty pounds sterling.-
The 'Fyrian purple is now generally be-
lleved to have been derived from two
different kinds ofshcll.fish described by
pliny under tho names puipUd and
bucciHua. aud was extracted from

the amount of one drop to each animal

the liquid eVaporated by drvness soon
after being collected, residue does not
become tinged in this. manner. These
circumstances correspond with the min
ute description of the manner rofcatching
the purple dye ilsh given in the work OF
nn witness, Eudocla Macrembolltlssa,
daughter ofthe Emperor Constantine the
Eighth, who lived in the eleventh cen
tury. The color Is remarkable for its
durability. plutarch observes In his life
Of Alexander, that, mt the taking ofSusa,
the Greeks found, in the Royal Treasury
OF Darius, q quantity of purple cloth, OF
the value OF five thousand talents, which
still retained its beauty, though II had
lain one hundred and ninety years. This
color reslsts the action even Of alkalies,
and most acids. Pliny stni o hat the
Tyrians gave the first gro nd Of their
purple dye by the unprepa. d liquor OF
the purpird and then improved or hight
ened II by the liquor OF the buocinum. =
Inthis manner they prepared their doub'
led-diped purple puJpurr dibaph-- -
which was 40 called, either because II
was immersed In two different liquors
or because II was first dyed In the wosl
aud then In the yarn.--fPrd. Dussauce'
