Go Out in the Air.-Ladies often
give as a reason why they do not take
exercise; "Oh, don't like to 60 out
without an object" They seem to be
unaware of the fact that to u we'll or
ganized frame, motion and fresh air
are positive daily necessities, ire
spective of any "object," save the cool
paly of the wind on the temples and
healthful glow which follows brisk
walk. Medicine Isl joke to it. No
doctor, be his diploma ever so preten-
tious, could effect with simple means a
more magical result. When it is con-
sidered what "a beautifier" exercise in
the open air is, we marvel that the
female portion of the community are
so prone to neglect it. A little chill
illness in the air, little sprinkling of
rain, high wind, ali inability to dis
play a fine dress-what inadequate
reasons for staying in the house and
growing sallow, irritable and sick!
Rowland Hill said of one of his
books, the publication of which was
one of the mistakes of his life: 81
wish could buy it up" But money
so powerful in other departments
could give no aid in the presence OF
one of lhe most humiliating and dis
tressful mistakes of life. The des
pairing appeal, III wish could buy il
upn which we so often have to make
in the presence of our shameful anc
distressing mistakes, only adds to ou
hopeless grief.
Heaven is sometimes found in Gotta
ges and hell in palaces. Heaven itsel
is more internal than external.
