Health is a Duty.

ga dying man can do nothing easy"
were the last words of the immortal
Franklin. A diseased man can do moth
ing well, are words of our own, quite as
true.
If anything should be well done, it
should be the preparation which is
needed to fit us for the exalted condi-
ton which has just been described, and
to do it well, the highest health and the
longest life should be sought by all.
Such preparation should be made I'M
der the most favorable of all possible
conditions, and it is to no less an end,
that this book has been conceived, to wit,
to show the reader how health may be
maintained, and how disease may be
averted to the utmost limit of human
life, that by the aid of health aud length
of days, the most perfect preparation
possible may be made for the immortal
existence beyond, and in this light, who
shall deny that health is a duty? Echo

Caught a Tartar.

Capt. Fengar of the United States
revenue cutter Ewing, was formerly
stationed in the gulf of Mexico, and was
in the habit of anchoring frequently in
Mobile harbor. One day he received a
note from Admiral Semmes, who was
then practicing law in Mobile, saying
that he purposed visiting the cutter.
Capt. Fengar, who is a radical Connec-
ticut Yankee, sent reply saying that
he was not in the habit of receiving pi-
rates on board his vessel. This, OF
course, made Semmes very angry, and
having Fengar on the witness stand
shortly after in one OF the courts of Mo-
bile, he undertook to bully him and to
make him appear ignorant of seaman
ship. The case was the Indictment of
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1878-09-27

the captain of vessel for manslaught-
er, in failing to rescue two seamen who
were knocked overheard in the midst
of terrific squall. After asking sever
al impertinent and provoking questions,
Admiral Semmes said: "Now, Capt.
Fengar, you have had some experience
as seaman, have you not !? Now,
want you to tell the jury, just how long
a man can live in the water.n ''That
would depend upon circumstances" re-
piled Capt. Fengar. 81 once heard of
a rebel pirate who, when he was fairly
whipped in square fight, instead OF
surrendering his ship like man, lived
long enough in the water to be picked
up by an English yacht and to sneak
off under the protection of a foreign
flag" Semmes did not pursue that line
of Questioning any further.
