The Health Habits of Young Men.

very curious and interesting table
might be made by thoughtful Psychologist
and hygienist, showing each person where
his strength goes; and am not sure that
a young man could do better service for
himself than to seek the counsel of some
wise physiologist, tell him frankly all his
habits, and have such table prepared, not
only to guard him against excess, but to
show him his weak places, and point out
where he will be most likely to fail. Some
of these tables would, no doubt, read very
much as follows:
Spent in digesting big dinner, which
the body did not need, sufficient force to
raise thirty tuns of matter one foot.
Spent in getting rid of several drinks of
wine and brandy, force sufficient to raise
twenty TINS one foot high.
Spent in smoking six cigars, force sufi-
cient to raise ten tuns one foot high.
Spent in keeping awake all night at
spree, force sufficient to raise twenty tuns
one foot high.
Spent in breathing bad air force sufficient
to raise fifteen tuns one foot high.
Spent in cheating neighbor out of $50
in a business transaction force sufficient to
raise fifteen tuns one foot high.
Spent in reading worthless books and
newspapers force sufficient to raise five tuns
one foot high.
Spent in hesitation, doubt, and uncer-
tainty, force sufficient to raise five tuns one
foot high.
Total-120 tuns one foot high.
Left for practical and useful labor only
enough to raise fifty five tuns one foot high,
or to do less than one-third of days work.
Sometimes there would be a draft on the
original capital of considerable force, so
there would not be enough to keep the
body warm, or the food well digested, or
the muscles plump and full, or the hearing
acute, or the eyes keen and bright, or the
brain thoughtful and active.
Very often single debauch would use
up the entire available power of the whole
system for q whole week or month.
There is no end to the multitudinous
ways in which we not only spend our work
ing capital, but draw on the original stock,
that ought never to be touched, and the
result is imperfect lives, rickety bodies, no
ability to transmit to our children good
health and long life, much physical suf-
ering and premature decay, with all the
! ends of life unacconplis he'd. How sad is
all this How terrible to be born into this
world and leave itwithout adding something
to its wealth, its virtue and its progress.

"A Boston Journal suggests that tablets
be placed on kitchen walls, commemorative
of departed cooks, for the benefit of their
successors. For example:

Departed this kitchen, without any warn

l would be with you in this trying hour,
Each troubled heart in love and pity lull;
Would gaze on that fair, tender, blighted
flower
And say farewell, my throbbing heart is
full.
All, all the heart could wish on earth was
center'd-
Kindness, forgiveness, love-in that dear
one;
The joys Of life so blissfully she enter'd,
With one fond heart in loves young
home begun.
Thou wilt recall the voice of wife and
mother
A vacancy of heart no one can fill
Three precious babes are left with thee,
dear father,
Yet thy lone home will, aye, be vacant

To watt them gently Ger life's troubled
ocean,
To their dear mother, near the throne of
God.
I'd be with thee, on that sweet face to pom
der,
And count the joys her precious being
gave;
In after years be with you all to wander
To that far distant spot, her silent grave.
I'd plant the rose DER her dear peaceful
bosom,
Which never more may heave the pitying
sigh,
Would watch the tiny bud, the pure white
blossom,
And sigh, alas, we all are born to die,
When all are gone, no one to tell the story
OF loves neutrality-suspicious. to WELD

When each dear one is gathered home in

To dwell with God, / would be with you
