Mr.. BRYANT's DAILY LIFE.--Mr. Bryant
used to ascribe the preservation of his
physical and mental vigor partly to his
simple and regular habits of life. He would
rise about half past five in the morning
summer time half an hour earlier-and go
through series of light execises before
dressing. Light dumb bells, covered with
flannel, pole or the horizontal bar were
enough to practice with. Sometimes he
would swing light chair around his head.
An hour later he would bathe from head
to foot.
His breakfast was the simplest" hominy
and milk" as he himself said in letter to
friend cor, in place of hominy, brown
bread or oatmeal or wheaton grits, and in
the season baked sweet apples" Buck
wheat cakes, l do not decline, nor any
other article of vegetable food but animal
food l never take at breakfast. Tea and
coffee l never touch at any time. Some
times l take a cup of chocolate, which has
no narcotic effect and agrees with me very
WE'LL At breakfast l often take fruit,
either in its natural state or freshly stewed.
| X In the country [ dine early, and
| it is only at that meal that l take either
meat or fish and of these but moderate
quantity, making my dinner mostly OF
\ vegetables. At the meal which is called
tea take only little fruit, if it be on the
table. x My drink is water; yet l
sometimes, though rarely, take glass OF
wine. l am a natural temperance man,
finding myself rather confused than ex-
hilarated by wine. l never meddle with
tobacco except to quarrel with its use"
When in town, Mr.. Bryant always walk
ed to his Office, six miles, down and up, nc
matter what the weather. His bed time
we ten, or earlier. He never took any
kind of drug as stimulant, nor even the
usual condiments with his food, such az
pepper and the like. For many years ht
avoided every kind of literary occupation
in the evening, doing all his work in th'
day time.
