Advice TO Professional Men.

To professional men, men of business,
and, indeed, all who are engaged in pur-
suits requiring more or less severe men,
tai work, coupled with more or less con-
tinement, exercise, is, of course, the con-
ditionsine qua non of the recreation to he
recommended. The fact is so obvious
(say> a writer in the Nineteenth Cen
tury) that | need not dwell upon it fur
thcr than to make one remark. This is
to warn all such persons that feelings are
| no safe guide as to the amount of mus
cular exercise that is requisite for MAIN
tanning full and sustained health. BY
habitual neglect of sufficient exercise the
system may, and does, accommodate its
elf to such neglect; So that only may
the desire for exercise cease to be a fair
measure of its need, but positive ex-
haustion may attend much less amount
of exercise than is necessary to long con-
tinuance of sound health. However
strong and well, therefore, a man may
feel, Notwithstanding his neglect of exer-
else, he ought to remember that he is
playing most dangerous game, and that
sooner or later his sin will find him out
either in the form of dyspepsia, liver,
kidney or other disease, which 50 surely
creep upon the offender against natures
laws of health. According to DIR. Parkcs
the amount of exercise that healthy
man ought to take without fatigue is at
least that which is required for raising
$50 fOot-tons per diem. This in mere
walking would, in the case of a man of
ordinary weight, be represented by a
walk of between eight and nine miles
on level ground, or one mile up toler-
ably steep hill; but it is desirable that the
requisite amount of exercise should be
obtained without throwing all the work
upon one set of muscles. For this rea-
son walking ought to be varied with
rowing, riding, active games, and, where
practicable, hunting or shooting, which,
to those who are fond of sport, constitute
the most perfect form of recreative exer-

THE EMPTY CRADLE.

Who sits by the lonely hearth,
Where never again the children
Shall wakcl their songs of mirth:
And still through the painful silence
She listens for voice and tread,
Outside of the hcart--there only
She knows that ihey are not dead.
Here is the desolate cradle,
The pillow SO lately pressed,
But tar away has the birding
Flown from it, little nest.
Grooming the lullabics over
That once were her babes delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows its upward flight.
Little she thought of moment
50 gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart She gathered
.- Her child for it, goodnight kiss.
She should be tendcrly cherished,
Never grief should She know:
Wealth, and the pride Of princess,
These would Il mother be>tow.
And this is the darling'S portion
In hcaycn-wherc She has fled
BY angels securely guarded.
BY angels securely led.
Broodinc in >orrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows
Why it is all for the best.
Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches Of earthly crown,
Better the early morning flight
Than one when the ,''n is down:
Better an empty caskc.
Than jewels bcSmirchcd with sin;
Safer than these without the fold
Are those that have entered in.

81 "A MINNESOTA farmer, watching hi,

! We have heretofore taken occasion to call
attention OF our readers to the merits of
Madame Porter's Cough Balsam, and do 50
again, believing it to be what its proprie-
tors claim for it. 1t is remedy which has
been long known and is very generally and
extensively used, particularly in New York
and the New England States, where it is
kept on hand as household remedy and
where its virtues are highly and justly
priced 1t is peculiarly adapted to chill
dren, being very palatable and free from
nauseous taste and therefore readily taken
by them. and is, at the same time, one Of
the most efficacious remedies in use. 1t
has maintained its high standard Of excel
lence for over forty years, despite the many
remedies which, in the meantime, have
been extensively advertised in the public
prints. 1t is not claimed for it that it is q
cure for consumption, although even in
the worst cases of that disease we hear that
it affords relief when relief is all that can
be expected.

LOuisiana's New Constitution.
New Orleans Democrat

There are two articles in the new Con-
stitution which apparently conflict some
what. Article 191 reads as follows:
"Until otherwise provided by law, the
oor.,' State election shall be held once
every four yo..s s.-s on the tuesday ne next !
following the third Monua, u Apfi'.
Article 265 says: "The time OF service OF
all officers chosen by the people at the
first election under this Cons....t'"nn Constitution
shall terminate as though the election
had been holden on the first Tuesday af-
ter the first Monday in April, 1880"
The conflict between these articles is
remedied by Article l61, which says that
"all officers shall continue to discharge
the duties of their Offices until their sue
cessors shall have been inducted into
office, except in case of impeachment or
suspension" The last article will, of
course, govern, and therefore no trouble
can arise from what we imagine must
have been an oversight on the part of
the Constitutional Convention which also
escaped the attention of the Committee
on Revision.

Looking to the Courts in Maine.
fLewiston (Me,) Journal

The Republicans take the ground that
the Rump House is illegally organized;
and can do no business and elect no legal
State officers, and that sooner or later
this must get into the Courts. 1t is
amazing that all but three Fusionists
could have been brought up to carry
through SO great an outrage as this right
in the teeth of the opinion Of the Su-
preme Court. Yet this situation is what
we are compelled to face. Every honest,
candid citizen Of Maine must bow his
head in shame at the spectacle we present
to the world. The Constitution and laws
have been defed, our institutions spit
upon, and, by a wicked usurpation Of
power, the decision Of the people at the
polls has been overthrown, and we see a
despotism set up in Maine to rule free
State. But the time draws near, we
trust, when the Courts will rightfully
take hold of this matter and render q
verdict which can be enforced.
