Pedestrian Excursions.

Besides relieving our sight and stirring up
agreeable emotions in the mind, such excur-
sions improve digestion, and give a general
| feeling Of lightness and buoyancy to the bodily
system. How many fit of bad temper and
dependency is cured by long walk Many
OF our evils spring from material causes, and
gastrOnomy, after all, Whatever high. flown
philosophers may say to the contrary, is one
OF the sciences which has secret key to a large
part OF human happiness. There is, as Cud-
worth expresses 1t, !" magical sympathy be-
tween mind and body; and Juvenal was well
aware of this fact when he tells US that, if we
DO presume to dictate to the gods what bless
lngs they should give US, we must not forget to

How many moral disturbances and crimes
has indigestion caused And how often is an
immoral state of mind produced by neglecting
to bring the body into subjection!" Plato,
IN his ideal commonwealth, justly lays great
stress on the gvmnastic element in education
Among the Romans, expressions applied to
education were borrowed from the gladitorial
school, which, says DR.. Donaldson, was
the earliest specimen of a distinct training
establishment. Rudtmenta (prOperly, the
foil exercises and elemental (properly, ''train-
ing food J became synonymous expressions for
early education, just as erudituS (''out of
folls became the term for a completely
learned man. The Greek and Roman training
possibly tended too much to make men prize
animals, and doubtless walking was no recog-
nlzed part OF ancient (any more than it is OF
mOdern) gymnastics.
sportsman gets valuable exercise; but all
men are not and cannot be sportsmen. We
have the vigorous and healthy games of cricket,
football &c; but the majority of men do not
and cannot qualify for these pursuits, which
requires skill and practice. Rowing is fine ex-
| erclse /; but one cannot always be near a river
| adaptable for boating.
Gymnastics lin the ordinary acccptation Of
the word are in the highest degree useful.
They strengthen and develop the body, but
give no direct relief to the mind.
Perhaps the best of all exercises is riding
but proficiency in horsemanship is by no means
general, and implies experience and money.
Walking tours can be INDUCED in without de-
mands on skill, and with little necessary ex.
pense. Demands on endurance are lessened
the more the limbs, within due limits, are ex.
ercised; and the motives of duty or benefit tC
ourselves gradually develop into those of plea
sure, until our walks are no longer constitu
tional 'grinds," but enjoyable recreations.

They had very respectable celebration of
the Fourth Of July in Atlanta Ga. The Her.
aid and The Adrertisey newspapers of that
city advocated the observance of ths day but
Mr.. Alexander St Clair Abrams of The Her
aid felt it to be his duty to enter a rather
trucuent protest against the course of his Jour
nal: Mr.. St. Clair declined to celebrate the 4th
of July because there was too much blood on
it: Mr.. St. Clair is ready to obey the laws
of the United States 80 long as he is com-
PEELED by necessity to live under such Coy
ernment. But he wishes it to be distinctly
understood that he feels no veneration for o
flag from the folds of which the blood of TIVE
hundred thousand Southern men is dripping.
and which has for twelve years been an em-
blem of oppression, of humiliation, and of
degradation to the South" Mr.. Alexander
St. Clair Abrams, it will be noticed, puts the
matter very strongly but the celebration
vas mt postponed, we believe. on his account.
UntOrgiving persons, such as he is, are uncom-
mon enough in the South to render it neees-
sary for them to issue cards informing the
world that they are, and intend to remain,
totally unrecOnstructed. AS it seems to give
them pleasure to do this, let them do it! 1t

THE Boy WHOSE MOTHER CUTS HIS HAIR.
You can always tell boy whose mother
cuts his hair. Not because the edges of it look
as if it had been chewed by an absent minded
horse, but you tell it by the way he stops on
the street and wriggles his shoulders. When
q fond mother has cut her boys hair, she is
careful to guard against any annoyance and
muss by laying sheet on the carpet. 1t has
never yet occurred to her to set him over a
bare floor and put the sheet around his neck.
Then she draws the front hair over his ewes
and leaves it there while she cuts that at the
back. The hair which lies over his eyes an.
pears to be surcharged with electric needles.
and that which is silently dropping down un-
der his shirt band appears TO be on fire. She
has unconscOusly continued TO push his head
forward until his nose touches his breast, and
is too busily engaged to notice the snufing
sound that is becoming alarmingly frequent.
In the meantime he is sezed with an irresisti.
BILE desire to blow his nose, but recollects that
his handkerchief is in the other room. Then
. fly lights on his nose, and does it so unex-
pectedly that he involuntariy lodges, aud
catches the points of the shears in his left ear.
AT this he commences to cry and wish he was
n man. But his mother doesn't notice him.
She merely hits him on the other ear to in
spire him with confidence, and goes on with
the work. When she is through, she holds
his jacket collar back from his neck, and with
her mouth blows the short bits of hair from
the top OF his head down his back. He calls
her attention to the fact, but she looks for =
new place on his head and hits him there. and
asks him why he didn't use his handkerchief
Then he takes his awfully disfgured head t.
the mirror and looks at it, and young as he is
shudders as he thinks of what the boys on the
street will ssy.-DanJHry Ne,0s
