KEEP THE BODY ERECr.--An erect bodily
altitude IS Of vastly more importance to health
than people generally imagine. Crooked bodi-
ly positions, maintained for any length of time,
are always Injurious, whether in the sitting
standing or lying posture, whether sleeping or
waking. To sit with the body leaning forward
on the stomach or to one side, with the hoes
elevated on level with the head. is no. only
10 bad taste, but exceedingly detrimental to
health. 1t cramps the stomach, presses the
vital orgaEs, interrupts the free motions Of
the chest, and enfeebls the lutctiors Of the
abdominal and tboraoio organs, snd, ia fact.
uubllarc:s the whole muscular system. Many
children become slightly hump backed or So
verely rouod shoudersd, by Sleeping with their
head raised on high pillow. When any per-
son finds it easier to sit, or stacd, or walk, or
sleep, 10 a crooked position than straight enc,
such person may be sure that bis muscul,r
system is bidly deraDsed, and the more careful
no is t. preserve straight or upright position,
and get bsck to nature again, the better.

Rafting on the James River.

N0AtAlAy VA SAAV O0AA1Vo AsAvSAs
There 10 no further doubt as to the
probability of rafting on the James river
between this point and Grand Rapids, .
prospective village some fsrty miles
below. During tho past week six
RATS of lumber, lath and shingles have
left the dock for that place. It IL true
that some difficulty has been experienced
in getting the RATS through, on account
Of their unnecessary wideness, which will
not permit them to pass through the mar
row channels caused by islands in the
middle OF tho river, but these Instructions
can be in measure removed by little
labor. This mode Of transportation dur
ing the high water season, bids fair to be.
come very popular one. owing to its
cheapness. One man can with ease pilot
enough lumber, latb, shingles, ETC., down
the river At one time to build spacious
residence, and thereby avoid the enor
nous expense he would nnavoidsbly be
subject to if no employed private con.
veyaaces.
