GOOD HEALTH.

Few persons realize the advantages
to be derived from good health. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that health is a
large ingredient in what the world calls
talent. Without it a raan may be a
giant in intellect, and his deeds will be
but those of pigmy. But on the other
hand, a man with good physical sys>
TEN, with s.nerves of STEEL and fair
amount Of mental calibre, will often
astonish the world with his fcats 4
writer in an Eastern Journal, in speak
ing of this class of men says
Let him have a quick circulation,
good digestion, the bulk thews and
sibews of man, and the alacrity, the
unthinkiug confidence inspired by
these, and though having but thin
bleful of brains, he viii either blunder
upon success, or set failure at defiance
1t is true. especially in this country,
g that the number of centaurs i'm every
community--of men in whom heroic
intellect is allied with bodily constftu>
ton as tough as horses-is small that,
in general, man has reason to think
himself well off in the lottery of life II
he draws the prize OF healthy stomach
without mind, or the prize of fine
intellect with crazy stomach But of
the two, weak mind in hercuean
frame is better than giant mind in a
crazy constitution. A pound Of energy
with an ounce of talent will achieve
greater results than a pound of talent
with an ounce of epergy. The first re
quisite to success in life is to be good
animal. In any of the learned profes-
sions vigorous constitution is worth at
least fifty per cent. more than brains; wit,
judgment, Imagination, eloquence, all
the qualities Of the mind attain thereby
a force and splepdor to which they
never approach without it. But intel
lect is like gold in spent swimmer
pocket. A mechanic may have tools oil
the sharpest edge and highest polish
but what are these without vigorous
arm and hand? OF what use is It tina,

D. c. sittig.

Mr.. ID. 9. Sittig, State and parish
tax collector, for this parish, returned
from New Orleans about two weeks
since, bringing his quietus signed
by the State Auditor. We under
stand that he was complimented
there as being one among the very
few collectors, who paid up prompt
l,y. Mr.. Sittig has had great ex-
perience in the business, and was
always prompt. He was chief dep
uty for Sheritfs L. ". Chachere and j.
J. Beauchamp, when taxes were
collected by them, and for Collector
j. j Butler in 1869, and acted as
well for them as he does for himself.
By strictly enforcing the law, he has
in a great measure wiped out the
old delinquent lists of unpaid taxes,
and relieved the assessment rolls of
double and triple assessments,
caused from copying the old rolls
by previous assessors, after the
property had changed hands.
Back taxes are like other old debts
hard to pay. In clearing away
the back taxes to the extent that
he has, and by exacting payment
from all, MI. Sittig has made the
burden of taxpaying lighter for the
parishat large hereafter.
Mr.. Sittig is a model tax collector
and very few could discharge the
of the Office as well as him
