stont men. IL two persons are taken In all
respects. except that one measures twelve
inches more around tic chest Than the other.
the one having the excess will not deliver
more air at one full breath, By mathematical
measurement. than the other.
The more air a man receives into his lungs
in ordinary breathing, tie more healthy be
is likely to be; because an important object
in breathing is TO remove impurities from the
blood. Each breath is drawn pure into the
lungs; on It's outgoing the next instant, it is
so impure, so perfectly destitute of nourish-
ment, that. II rebreathed without any admix-
ture Of pure atmosphere. the man would die.
Hence, one OF the conditions necessary to Sc
cure high state Of health is, thai the rooms
in which we sleep should be consistently re-
ceiying new supplies Of fresh air through
open doors. windows or fire-places.
If a persons lungs are not well developed.
the health will be imperfect, but the develop
nent may be increased several inches in
few months by daily outdoor runnings with
mouth closed, he.ining with twenty yards
and back, at time, increasing ten yards ev-
cry week until a hundred are gone over thrice
day. A substitute for ladies and persons
in cities is running up stairs with the mouth
closed, which compels very deep inspirations,
in a natural way, at the end of the journey.
As consumptive people are declining. each
week is a witness to their inability to deliver
as much air Mt single out-breatning as the
week before: hence the best way to keep the
fell disease at bay is to maintain lung devel-
opment. 1t is known that in large towns,
ten thousand feet above the level of the sea,
the deaths by consumption are ten time less
than in places nearly on level with the sea.
Twenty-Five persons die of consumption in
the city of New York where only two die of
that disease in the city of Mexico. All know
that consumption does not prevail in hilly
countries and in high situations. One reason
o. this is, because there is more ascending
exercise, increasing deep breathing; besides,
the air being more rarifed, larger quantities
are instinctively taken into the lungs to an
swer the requirements of the system. thus at
every breath keeping Up high development.
Hence the hills should be sought by consump-
tives, and not low, fiat situations

HAIR DRESSING,
Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Con S1lr1Y1fiOn.

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races Of
men 1t has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for ncipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled C0nSHnaptiO7s is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pect0rdl. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When MOTH
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectordi in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do moro
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

THE ART OF RETIcENCE.-Among other
classiheations we may divide the world into
those who live by impulse and the undirected
flow of circumstance, and those who map

design. These last, however, are wonderful

60 construct any perSistant plan of life or to
carry it through if even they have begun one

and drift with the stream, than to work by
rule and square, and build up even a bea-

how few people understand this as an art,
and how almost entirely it is by the mere
chance os temperament whether a person is
confidential or retieent, with his heart on his
sleeve or not to be got at by a pickaxe, irri-
taiagly silent or contemptibly loquacious.
Sometimes indeed we DO fiud one who, like
Talleyrand, has mastered the art of an elo-
quent reticence from alpha TO omega, and
knows how to conceal everything without
showing that he conceals anything; but we
find such person very seldom, and we do
not always understand his value when we
have him. Any one not born fool can re-
solve to keep silence on certain points. but it
takes a master mind to be able to talk and
yet not tells Silence. indeed, self-evident
and unmasked, though safe method is bu,

very young people. "Le silenee est de ps1i

Death Of Senator watt

w. w. WATT, State Senator from the
First District, died in Philadelphia on
Friday last. His death leaves a vacln.
cy which must be filled by special
election to be ordered by the Speaker of
the Senate. As the Senate now stands.
since his death, there is tie vote In
that body. 1t becomes therefore mat
ter of the greatest importance that a
Democrat be elected to fill his place,
that the balance may be with us and
thus fair apportionment of the State
be secured. Mr. WATT was defeated
in the fall of 1869 by ALEX. ]. DIAM
oND, Democrat, but by fraud of the
most outrageous and palpable kind Mr..
DIAMOND was deprived of his seat.
Many of our readers will remember,
doubtless, the very exciting contested
election case of WATr-DIAMoND. In
the election In October last the Republi-
cans had majority, and only very
earnest and vigorous effort can save the
District. Gen. WIN. M'CANDLEss has
been spoken of as probable candidate
He carried the District in 1866 by a
majority of nearly eighteen hundred
votesand would doubtless prove form
liable champion. He is an able and
experienced man who would fill the
position with ability and we have no
doubt but that he can be elected if the
contest is conducted with zeal and ener.
gy. A majority in the Senate at this
time is too important matter to be
trifled with. Whoever may be thecandi-
date let his friends work hard for him
and his election is sure. The re. e.district-
ing of the State is to be made this win
ter and majority of one in the Senate
means fairness and honesty in doing 1t.
Let the Democrats in the First District
look to it that a Democrat is elected.
The Republicans can, however, appoint
neither Speaker nor officers of the
Senate until the election has been held.
