It is a great mistake, says a
medical writer, to suppose that q
morning walk or other form of
exercise before breakfast Is
healthful; the malaria which
rests on the earth about sunrise
in summer, when taken into the
lungs and stomach, which are
equally debilitated with other
portions of the body from long
fast since supper, is very readily
absorbed and enters the circula.
ton within an hour or two, pois.
oning the blood, and laying the
foundation for troublesome dis
eases; while in winter the same
debilitated condition of these
vital organs readily allows the
blood to be chilled and thus rem
ders the system susceptible of
taksng cold, with all its varied
and too often disastrous results.
Some will say, look how healthy
the farmers boy is, and the daily
laEOrers, who go to their work
from one years end to another by
"crack of dawnw Ny reply is, if
they are healthy, they are so in
spite Of these exposures; their
simple fare, their regular liv, /,
and their outdoor industry, give
their bodies a tone, a vig0r, a
capability of resisting disease,
which nullifies the action o!
malaria to a very considerable
extent.

attempted merely 70 portray some of Its lead
ing characteristics and prominent features;
to define It's nature, trace It's origin. sketch
some OF Its earliest developments, contrast
some OF the leading and essential features of
Civilization, Ancient and Modern. ana 10
show how large q debt Modern Progress owes
to Ancient Civilization.
Civilization was defined to be the develop
ment of two eleinents-society and the indi-
vidual : and progress was shown to be It's eS.
sential characteristic. Its origin was traced
to the Highlands Of Central Asia, and the pro-
gress Of the race attributed not to It's own I'M
aided effort but to contact with ahighcr civil
liza ton. Its earliest developments amid the
three great branches of the Caucasian stock
the Aryan, the Semitic and the llnmitic
races-were rapidly skctchcd, and while ORR.
ent1l civilization was shown to exhibit small
social progress. yet that 1t furnished the
germs OF Greek and Roman culture. and that
the blending OF thcgc elements with those OF
the German and the Celtic races produced the
rich fruits OF modern culture.
The framework Of ancient and modern So
cicty was cOntr;lStcd. and the superiority OF
the modern in all that gives security to life,
liberty and happiness was clearly. shown.
While the trtnsceudent excellence OF the AM
clients in works of TASTE and the imagination
was conceded. their recognized infcriority in
the useful and mechanical arts WAS adrcrtcu
TO.
The obstacles which interfere with the con-
Struction OF Il science OF sociology were poiut-
cd out, and the hercsicS of Buckle and Others
OF that school attempted to be exposed.
The essay concluded with a hopeful view OF
the operation of those essential and imperish.
nble agencies which furnish the guarantees OF
the onward march Of civilization.
The discussion which followed was exceed
ingly interesting. and we are sorry that We
cannot give Il synopsis of the Whole. Next
week we hope to publish the full text OF the
essay.
VI. r. DcBruhl, Esq, was chosen next essay

Death of Mrs. DIR. Bonner.

The last great enemy of man has claimed
another victim at Due West, and the associate
Reformed Presby&,sfum comes I" us IN the nt-
biiimcnts OF mourning for the death OF Mrs;
Dr.. Bonner. tho beloved wife OF the bcrctvcd
and afflicted editor of that paper. On the
morning OF the 3Uth ultiino Il life OF useful
ness was cntiCi in the hope OF q glorious res
direction. FaithiulucsS TO the best interests
OF her family, charity for the poor. sympathy
for the afflicted, Il most earneSta and unwaHcr-
ing zeal in the prosecution OF every good
work, distinguished the life of the deceased
and she'd u halo Of sweetness and beauty
around her character which will finger about
her memory until those who knew her, as We
did, shall have passed away,
After expressing sentiments Of coincidence
with Or. Bonnie In his sore atliction. we cX-
tract the following paragraph rom the iTeS-
by.crian, which was written by DR.. Grier:
In the domestic circle. Mrs. Bonner was q
true wife and mother. In her relations to so.
cictv, she was Il most woImanly woman.
Everywhere she was the sincere Christian.
sition, she taught the young women OF her
generation to Glove their husbands, to love
their children, to be discreet, chaStc, Keepers
at home" In all these wiicly, Christian vir-
tues she was q conspicuous example. los-
sessing naturally q sweet and amiablc temper,
divine grace had so fixed and settled the hab-
IL Of gentleness and patience in her, that all
her house, even the servants, blessed her.
She wore everywhere, in the sight OF al!
eyes. the ornamento OF II meek and quiet spir-
IL. AS prosperity did not clate her, so Meth
or did the trial or Il long and painful illness
chafe her spirit or subdue her patience. She
bore her Affections with great Christian forth
tude.
In the loss Of such n woman. the entirecom-
munity deeply shares; and thai 1t feels It's
loss the saddencd looks OF old and young do
fully declare. She leaves seven children, four
sons and three daughters. 1t was q great sat.
isfuction that these were all with her in the
last hours. Well may they weep for them
selves, but not for her. For her there are no
more tears. unless IT, be the tears OF that JOY
which is u~nspcakahle and full Of glory. She
was ready and ionged to go.
And now. for him who is most sadly hcrcav-
ed by this Providence, who has lost friend,
counsellor, helper. wife, himself Frustrated
upon u bed Of sickness, we can only pray,
May God be with him! He IS passing through
deep waters, but He has said. when h pass
eth through the waters I will be with thee
and through the floods. they shall not over.
flow thee. Brethren. pray for him! We are
sure that he has the sympathy of the Whole
Church, Il.
