The I'scs of Walking,

Walking for young and active per-
sons is by far the best exercise riding
is good for the elderly, middle-aged
and invalids, The abuse of these eXer-
cises consists in taking them when the
system is exhausted, more or less, by
previous fasting or by mental labors.
Some persons injudciously attempt a
long walk before break kfast, under the
belief that it is conducive to health.
Others will get up early to work three
hours at some abstruse mental toll. The
effect in both instances is the same; il
subtracts from the power of eXertion in
the after part of the day. y short
saunter or some light reading before
this meal is the best Indulgence of the
kind; otherwise the waste occasioncd
by labor must be supplied by noursh.
ment, and the breakfast will necessarily
become heavy meal, and the whole
morning scomfort sacrificed bya weight
at the chest from imperfect digestion o
Cd. These observations apply to ell
derby persons who are prone to flattel
themselves into the persuasion tha
they can use their mental or bodil,
powers in age as In youth.

Eliting o NeWSpapcr.

We never could see the virtue OF the
boast which is so often made by the pa
pers and magazines, that so large a
portion of their pages is original. Such
originality is often maintained at the
expense of tire worth. The best eX-
changes of our acquaintance are by no
means those which have the greatest
amount of original matter. There is
more OF editorial tact and talent re.
quired to make proper and practical
selections, than is put in requisltion by
the production of the vaunting original
papers, who seem to require originality
as the only requisite for good periodi-
cal. A goodnewspaper is always depen-
dent upon other resources than its own.
And the boast of a periodical that it is
entirely original, is too often like the
boast of library If it should claim to
have tho production of only one author.

A Crying Parental Folly.

Is to compel child to cat an article of
food for which he has no appetite, nay,
may have positive disgust at the very
thought ofswallowing the hated mouth
ful. Parents do this from the very best
of motives, thinking that it would add
to their children's health or comfort in
after-life to have learned to eat the ar
ticle in uestion.
1t is just as great an outrage TO compel
a man to eat piece of fried snake as to
compel child TO eat piece of fat meat
when his stomach revolts at it; the in.
humanity of it is greater, because the
man may defend himself, while the
child, all unresisting and helpless, is
made to comply by the one whom he
loves best in the world.
The instincts of childhood should be
held in a measure sacred to them and
1t may be safe to say that what nature
Graves, the body has use for; what ma
turo abhors, the same body has no use
for.
Every man is at liberty to ride any
hobby he chooses 20 death if he wants
to ride it to his own undoing, he may
have the right to do it, with some re.
strictions but to "have theory" and
kill his child in the attempt to carry il
out, to make it practical, is not to be APP
plauded.
If man wishes to learn his child TO
relish any article Of food which he does
not relish now, a safe method Of bring
ing it about is to take long walk OF
ride, far from any human habitation,
and after the child has been some time
complaining Of being hungry, present
the article in question to him, and lei
him taste ii if he will, and in little
while taste ii again in this way he
may be educated TO love it in o very
short time. The conclusion of the whole
matter is this; to compel the swallow.
ing of mouthful of food against the
appetite or inclination for it, is certainly
Il wicked waste of that much it gives
no healthful nourishment to the body
is violence to nature, a shock to the
syst an, and invites loathsome, painful
and even fatal maladie5.

THE subjoined paragraph, clipped
from an exchange, is a valuable little
volume in itself:
mo man is gentleman, who, with
out provocation, would treat with Incl
Witty the humblest of his species. 1t
is vulgarity for which no accomplish
ment of dress or address can ever atone.
The man who desires to make evey one
around him happy, and whose creates
solicitude is never to give offence to any
one, is 4 gentleman by nature and
species, though he may never have
worn a suit of broadcloth, nor ever
heard of lcxieon.-There are men in
every throb of whose hearts there is
solicitude for the welfare of mankind,
and whose very breathis IS perfumed with
kindness"

Dogs.

The Ney York Times has the follow.
ing:
The onslaught on the canine species
for the misfortune of being subject in
rare cases to madness will probably not
be repeated this year, and the rising
generation will be saved from the de.
moralizing effect of price being put
upon the head of all unfortunate ours,
which chance to be met in the streets
without the disgrace of a muzz,e. May
or Hall refused last year to have any,
thing to do with this bloody business.
He believes the whole thing is hum.
bug and relic Of barbarism, and that
hydrophobla is produced more by shut.
ting up and harassing the dogs than
from any other cause. The Board of
Health too has come to about the same
conclusion. The medical members say,
| that it is superstitious error to suppose
that dogs are more liable to madness in
summer, than at any other season OF
the year. The result of the most thor.
ough and intelligent investigation on
the subject tends to prove the contrary
and while the general ordinances with
regard to the treatment of dogs will b,
enforced, no special regulations will be
made for the summer, and no massacr,
of these innocent household creatures
will be authorized or encouraged.

1t Is not necessary to take a handful of these
Pills to produce the desired effect; two of them
act quickly and powerfully, cleansing the Liver,
Stomachand Bowels of all impurities. The prin-
cpal Ingredient is Podophyllin or the Alcoholic
Extract of Mandrake, which is by many times
more powerful, acting and searching than ths
Mandrake itself Its peculiar action is upon the
Liver, cleaning 1t speedily from all distractions
with all the power OF Mercury, yet free from the
injurious results attached to the use of that
mineral.
For all diseases, in which the use off cathartic
is indicated these pills will give entire satisiac-
ton in every case They NEVER FAIL.
In cases of Liver Complaint Dyspepsia and
extreme costiyeness, Dir. Hooiland's German
Bitters or Tonic should be used in connection
with the Pills. The tonic effect of the Bitters or
Tonic builds up the system. The Biters or Tonic
purihes the Blood strengthens the Nerves. REGU-
LATEs the Liver, and gives strength, energy and
vigor.
Keep your Bowels active with the:Pllls, and
tone up the system with Btters orTonic and no
diseases can retain the hold, or even assail you.
Recolect that 1t is DIR. HOOFLAND'S GER
MAN Remedies that are so universally used and
highly recommended; and do not allow the
Druggist to induce you to take anything else that
he may say is just as good, because he makes a

They Say.

They say-Ah, well, suppose they do?
But can they prove the story true?
Suspicion may arise from nought
But malice, envy, want of thought;
Why count yourselves among the "thcy"
Who whisper what they dare not sayP
They say-but why the tale rehearsc.
And help TO make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue:
And is 1t not n noble plan
To speak OF all the best you can?
They say-well, IL II should be so,
Why need you tell the tale OF wo5?
VIII It the better wrong redres,
Or make one pang Of sorrow less?
WIN 1t the errlng one restore

they say-oh! pause and look within
See how thy heart inclnes to sin!
Watch, lest In dark temptations hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power!
But speak OF good or not at all.

which fears 10 be detected in honest

from exposing to the world a necessary

the pure Juices, or VITAL PRINCIPLE OF Roofs,

Extracts) the worthless or insert portions of the
Ingredients not being used. Therefore in one
Bottle of this Bitters there is contained as much
medicinl virtue will be found in several gallons
of ordinary mixtures The Roots, &c. used in
this Bitters are grown in Germany, their vital
principles extracted in that country by scien-
thc Chemist, and forwarded to the mandatory
in this city, where they are compounded and
bottled. Containing no spirituous Ingredients
his Bitters is free from the objections urged
galnst all others; no desire for stimuants can be
induced from their use, they cannot make drunk
ards, ,and cannot under any circumstances, have
any but n beneficial effect.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC,
Was compounded for those not inclined to OK
tromc bittcrs, and is intended for use in cases
when some alcoholic stmulant is required in
connection with the Tonic properties of the
Btters. Each bottle of the Tonic contains one
bottle of the Bitters, combined with pure SA MIA
CRUZ RUM, and favored in such manner that
the extreme bitterness OF the biters is sovercome,
forming q preparation highly agreeable and
pleasant to the palate, and containing the medi-
cInal virtues of the Bitters. The price of the
Tonic is sl.5) per Bottle, which many persons
think too high. They must take into consdera-
ton that the stimulant used is guaranteed to be
of pure quality A poor article could be fur
nshed at cheaper price, but is 1t not better to
pay little more a d have n good article? A
medicinal preparation should contain none but
