in the woods near Trenton to plan. They

him to 60 TO an adjoining county, pro-

DELICATE PEOPLE. There is a con-
slant sympathy expressed BY robust
people for those Of slight physical eonsti-
tuition. We think the sympathy ought
10 turn in the opposite direction. Ii is
the delicate people who escape the most
fearful disorders, and, in three cases out
Of four, live the longest. These gigantic
structures are almost always reckless Of
health They say nothing hurts me, ;"
and so they stand in draughts, and 20
out into the night to cool off, and cat
crabs at midnight, and doff their nannels
in April, and carelessly get their feet
wet
But the delicate people are shy Of per-
| H. They know that disease has been
fishing for them for twenty years and they
keep away from the hook. No trout can
be caught if he sees the shadow of the
sportsman on the brook. These people
whom everybody expect to die, live on
most consciously.
We know of a young lady who married
very wealthy man Of oigbty-fvc years
on the ground he was very delicate, and
with reference to her one-third. But
the aged invalid is so careful Of bis health,
and the young wife so reckless Of hers,
that it is now uncertain whether she VI
inherit his storehouses, or he inhcritf
wedding rings.
Health and longevity depend
upon caution and intelligent manag
of ones self tian upon original NJ

appropriate to people in all occ,l
