this step in the right direction.

The third advantage accruing from a

SEVERE AND CONTINUED LABOR.
Labor is one of the most precious lega-
eies in disguise. This world would be
one vast insane asylum, and worse,
perfect pandemOnium, were it not for
work. 1t never hurts any one if m
dertaken with Judgment. There are
too many knock-kneed men and weak
backed women in the world. They ell
Their don't know, or don't care for the
first principles which underlie the edu-
cation of a race-horse. A horseman
said to me not long ago, when my SYM
pathies were excited for the raee-horses,
if men would take one-half as good care
Of their wives as they do of their racers,
they would fare very much better than
they do. Doubtless there is truth in
this statement, but women should have
individuality enough to know how and
when to labor, and will and energy
enough to take care of themselves, re-
gardless of potentates. Then their
work would become a source of physical,
intellectual and spiritual growth.
Again, gaining of this physical cul.
ture enables one to feel that freedom
and lightness in body which is so desi-
rable. and which is a characteristic of
youth. How many, many, there are
who carry about in their persons an
enormous load of adipose and excre-
mentitious matter. If we should insin-
uate that they were not cleanly, they
would be up in arms in moment. If
we should suggest that the 'Augean
stables" needed clearing, we should be
communicated at once. | went to

looking as a sensualist in the last stages
of debauchment. He spoke Of his love
to God. He then said he had been
studying his own nature. My heart re-
sponded, Amen, brother He spoke Of
the physical, mental, and moral nature.
He said that man must live on the prod

much, brother. BLESSED is the land
when the inhabitants eat for strength,
and not for drunkenness. To have the
