DR. Do Lewis lectured about "Our
Glrls" IN Philadelphia last week
There seemed, he said, to be som :
thing in the climate of America
which produces bigger and rarer
type OF beauty, more clearly outlined
features and expressive eyes, than
are found anywhere else IN tie
world. 1t was undoubtedly the fact,
however, that American women have
been degeneratiDg in vital energy of
late, more particularly within the
past five years, and have less animal
strength and not so good health gem
orally as formerly. He aseri bed this
to the "inttnse" life which has gem
orally been led by women, since the
war especially. As a general thing,
they are taller and of what is called
elmer FORMS" but the majority OF
them DIR. Warren, of Boston, says
-fve-sixth of them in that city
are afflicted with curvature OF the
spine, which, however, is hid by the
art of the dressmaker, and il has been
found that the lungs are small and
the chest fiat. These pecularities Of
tho American woman are chiefly due
TO her carriage and dress. He adj
vised that every young lady should
make it a rule when in the house to
walk an hour a day with a weight
say bag of beans (laughtor) upon
her head, and she would thus easily
acquire an erect position which
would throw the chest forward and
give her graceful attitude He be-
LEVIED in the matter of dress women
were crazy. daughter and APP
plause.) They could never be
healthy whilo they went around with
their feet almost unprotected from
the damp earth, and under big bal
loon. He advised thick wooden GOV.
ering for the legs and feet, and short
dresses exceptin the ball room or on
a state occasion; and unequivocalIy
condemned the use of corseIs, which,
be said should be done away with
entirely, in order that women might
have the form and appearance which
God originally intended they should
have.

OLD TESTAMENT GENTLEMEN.-
Gail Hamilton says the only perfect
gentlemen mentioned in the book of
Genesis was Joseph. Adam had do
minion over the earth; but he attem
ted to shield himself from the Divine
displeasure by laying the blame on
his wife, which no gentlemen would
ever do. Noah was just man. and
perfect in his generation-if you do
not mind an occasional fl of drunk
enness. Abraham was foe old she.
ikh, truly heroic figure, brave, gen.
erous, courteous, hospilable, magyar.
imous. But Abraham had his weak.
ness, and fell before his temptations !;
and Isaac followed in his footsteps.
OF acob, perhaps, the least said the
Better, though he maintained the
position as head of the family with
unrelentiug vigor, calling 60 man
master, either son or King. Joseph
alone rises out of that vast, far world
clearly outlined, distinctly seen. sim,
pie, sanity and strong. Bot, if l am
ever on speaking terms with Joseph
| mean to ask him why it was that
during the twenty odd years of his
prison and palace life be never com
munioated with his father. His
brothers deserved no better, but the
old gentleman was blameless.

COMING HoME.-In our school DAYS
we used to come home for our hoii-
days in ripper years we come home
when they are ever. Yet it is. after
ell question whether we do not en-.
Joy the return of the domestic roof as
much in the latter case as we did in the
former. A great part of the pleas
ure OF going away undoubtedly lies
IN the anticipation of getting back
again TO our old haunts and habits.
We take our holidays as kind of an.
nual bltters, 10 give us appetites for
our ordinary modes of life and ner-
haps there is no morning during onr
absence so thoroughly welcome 10 ma
as that of the day on which we set
out for town once more. Everv-
thing at home has aquired some fresh
charm during our absence. The ser.
wants, though they do not belong to
a particularly grateful race, are glad
to see as back again. The old rooms
that we were so heartily tired of be-
fore we left have now o charming
freshness about them and the lit
tie sanctum with its books, paper and
and pipes, seems a paradise after ho.
tel eotfee.rooms and seaside libraries.

1S- John McDonouSh, the million.
aire of New Orleans, had engraved
upon his tomb series Of maxims pre-
seribed as the rule for his guidance
through life, To which his success 10
business is mainly attributed. They
contain so much wisdom shat we
copy them;
Rules for the guidance Of my life
1864:
Remember always that labor is
one OF the conditions of our exist
ence. Time is gold; throw Lot one
minute away, but place each one tC
account.
Do unto all men as you would be
done by.
Never pat off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day.
Never bid another do wnat you eau
do yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter so trifing
a. not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does
rot nrst come In.
Never spend but to produce.
let order regulate tie transactions
OF your life:
Study in the course Of your life to
do the greatest amount Of good.
Labor, then, TO the last moment OF
your existence.
Pursue strictly the above rules,
and the Divine blessing and riches
will flow upon yon to your hearts
content; but first of all rememb Der
that the chief and great duty of your
life should be to tend, by fall means
in your power, to the honor and glo-
ry of our Divine Creator. Without
temperance there is no health; with.
out virtue, no order without relig-
ion, no happiness; and that the aim
of our being should be to live wisely
soberly, and righteously.
