measure of Its need, but positive eX-
haustlon may attend much less amount
of exercise than is necessary to long
continuance of sound health. However
strong and well, therefore, a man may
feel, Notwithstanding his neglect of
exercise, 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 dys-
pepsla, liver, kidney, or other disease,
which so surely creep upon the offender
against natures laws of health. Accord
ing to DR.. Parkes, the amount of exer-
else that healthy man ought to take
without fatigue is at least that which Is
required for raising one hundred and hf-
ty 1oot-tons per diem. This, in more
walking, would, in the case Of a man OF
ordinary weight, be represented by a
walk of between eight and nine miles
along level ground, or one mile up toll
erably 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
reason, walking ought to be varied with
| riding, active games, and, where
practicable, hunting or shooting; which,
to those who are fond of sport, consti-
tute the most perfect form of recreative
exercise.

Edwin Forests Chivalry.

The manly elements of Mr.. Forests
character made him at all times the
ready champion of the weak and de-
fenseless. He was especially chivalrous
in his conduct to women. This one
instance is sample: He was return.
ing from New York after a successful
engagement in that city, and seated OPP
posite him in the car were two young
ladies. They were travelling without
male escort. When the cars stopped al
Newark person entered and took 8
seat Immediately back of the ladies.
He was of the loud class, full of paste
iewelry, impudence and bad manners
The latter was soon painfully apparent
with reference to the ladies. He in
dulged in offensive language, and
seemed to think the whole matter was 6
good joke. In a short time the Ian
guage and the conduct of the man and
the evident distress of the ladies arrest
ed the attention of Mr.. Forrest. he
left his seat and, facing the obnoxious
passenger, said:
Will you please vacate your seat
You are offensive to these ladies'"
Guess not" replied the man, will
the coarse and rude expression of .
bully and a rufian; "I have paid TO,
my ticket, and will sit where I please.
But" answered MIR. Forrest, and tht
color mounted to his cheeks, you
ticket does not give you the right t,
insult ladies. That you have done, ant
I viii give you five minutes to vacat'
the seat and the car. If you prefer t,
leave both by the window, remain, AM
you can be accommodated"
Mr.. Forrest then drew his watch from
his pocket and buttoned his coat. TIL
rufian took another glance at the deter
mined eye and StalWart frame of hi
opponent, and with murmured threat
of vengeance left the car. The ladie
had no further annoyance from him.

Lincoln and Stanton.

In December, 1861, Mr.. Lincoln was
talking with Secretary Chase about
the action of our Government in the
Trent affair. The President was ask
ing if the Secretary had heard of any
opinions as to the Governments course
by prominent Democrats, when Mr..
Chase said he understood Mr.. Stanton,
who was then in Washington. shared
the opinion of the President and up
held the Governments course.
The President then asked Mr.. Chase
if he had ever heard how Mr.. Stanton
had abused him-the Presidential the
Mccormick case at Cincinnati. Mr..
Chase replied that he had not, and the
President told how Mr.. Stanton, being
retained on the same side as MIR. Lin
coin, declined to consult with him, say
ing he would have nothing to do with
the "long-legged and long armed ape,
But" said the President, as he con-
cluded the story, "tell Mr.. Stanton
would like to see him."
Within a few evening, Mr.. Stanton
called at the White House. The Presi.
dent told him he had heard that his
visitor was unfolding the Legality and
policy of the Governments course. Mr.
Stanton replied at some length, giving
his reasons for the opinion he held
The President asked him if he would
commit it to writing. Stanton prom
ised he would, and this interview ended
without any other subject than the
Trent affair being alluded to during the
whole of the evening.
It was within one or two evening"
afterward that Mr.. Stanton called Will
the manuscript of his opinion as re
quested. AS he handed it to the Presi
dent, the latter said: "Mr. Stanton
there is about to be change in M
Cabinet. Will you take the place o
Secretary of WARP" Mr.. Stanton wa
much surprised, but, before he left tina
evening, he had accepted the position
and during the next month, January
1862, went into the ofice.-WGshi110

Advice TO Professional Men.

To professional men, men of business,
and. indeed, all who are engaged in pur-
suits requiring more or less severe mental
work, coupled with more OF less con-
finement, exercise is, of course, the con
ditto sine gun non of the recreation to be
recommended. This fact is SO obvious
that need not dwell upon it further
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 itself
to such neglect; SO that not only may
the desire tor exercise cease to be fair

4 rich story of confidence game
played u9an leading physician OF
Rockford By Chicago sharps is the
following: The doctor was little shy
about telling his neighbors of Lis ad-
venture st finally disclosed the facts
to MarsDAi SulIy. Some time since
the gent man, whom we will call DR..
G., started tor Michigan, intending
to cross the lake by steamer from Chi
cago. While he was waiting about the
landing for the boat, a man accosted
him with hearty, How do you do, DR..
HalloWell?" at the same time extending
an eager hand for shake. You have
the start of me" replied the doctor,
but you have made a mistake in my
name. I an DR.. G., of Rockford. -
Precisely, precisely. I recognize il
now; strange that should have made
such a mistake! Well, how are times
out in Rockford" It was the same old
dodge, but the doctor didn't see it.
just at the moment when the doctor
had so very explicitly given his name
and residence, another man slid on the
scene, and was surprised and de-
lighted to see DR.. c., of Rock
ford, and, after going through
a vigorous pump-handle movement
for & few moments, the three settled
down to a friendly chat. The doctor
felt warm and comfortable at heart be-
cause he had been so easily noticed IN
the great metropolis, and his good ma
ture flowed forth. In the course of the
conversation, one of the sudden &C
quaintauces remarked to the doctor
DR.. q. aren't You losing something
out o. yogr pocket. book?" The doctor
spasnlot;cajlv put his hand to his
breast pocket and drew out his wallet tc
see if it was all right. In an instant
one OF the men snatched it and ran
away. The other looked in blank as.
constituent, and cursed the villain who
would take the advantage of friendship
like that, and then hustled off in pre-.
tended pursuit of the robber. The
whole thing then began to dawn on the
doctor. He had been the victim of 6
confidence game. His loss was only
$75, but the wound to his vanity was
worth $1,000. He hurried to store
where he had an acquaintance and
hastily relating the circumstance, asked
his friend to go with him and appre
bend the thief. But he was onl,
laughed at. The doctor was so dis
couraged at this adventure that he re
turned home and did not go to Mich
gan. as he had intended.-RockfOrt

A Sore Point.

Young America does not understand

younger, is a recognized young lady,"
and treated with Difference by the very
people who combine to snub him. But
he should cherish no jealous feelings
because he finds his sister addressed as
Miss long before he enjoys the satisfac-
ton of being called Mr.. The girls are
not only older in development than he
at the same age, but also gallantry and
natural regard for her sex lead people
to pay a girl who has reached budding
womanhood Difference and consider
alton he must not expect to get at any
age. If he lives he is bound to become
man in due time, and his business is
to set himself to work to see that he
shall be man in other respects than
outward and physical appearance mere

the conventional title of Mr.. until peo-
pie give it to him because they find by
knowing him that he possesses the solid
qualities of a manly character. He
does not realize now that it is wonder
full thing to be boy. When he gets
old he can never be young again, while
now he has chance of getting old
There is no better age than Is. Most
men of 80 would prefer it to their own
years, and, though crusty and incon.
siderate age may snub youth, it can't
run as fast, or sleep as soundly, or cal
with as much relish, or look forward &c
hopefully to the time when it can take
captive the hearts of the young women
who assume airs of patronage toward
them in their youth.

StrangleS in Horses.

Most persons conversant with horses
must be aware that certain glands lie
just under the angles of the two jaws,
and run up in the direction of the ear.
They are the seat of the affection pecul-
lar to young animals, known under the
name of strangles. Now, it is by no
means infrequent, especially among the
commoner kind of horses, to find these
glands large and fabby in their text
ures. With well-bred and well-formed
animals it is often very difficult to find
them at all under the skin. Sometimes
the abnormal size of these glands is
evidently constitutional, sometimes it
is consequence of disease-strangles,
for instance-and sometimes it arises
wholly from the pressure of the angles
Of the jaws, especially when these lie
too close together, and the rider or
driver has attempted to force certain
position, either by the use of severe
bits, or, what is still worse, combina-
ton of these with the bearing rein in
harness. If such state of things be
overlooked or neglected very serious
consequences may arise. The forced
pressure of the iaw-bones on these
glands is sometimes perfectly excruci-
ating to the animal, and it has recourse,
to the great establishment of its ignorant
rider or driver, to all sorts of expedients
to get rid of the intolerable pain. 1t
will refuse its work, or run away, or
throw itself down, or rear up, or do
anything or everything in its despera-
ton, and the brute on it's back or in the
coach-box knows no other remedy for
it than to "fog the sulk out of him,
whereas the whole thing is probably
the result of bad biting and bridling
