There is nothing in the world that we think
so mitch Of as we do OF women. Our mother
is woman-wiie, sister, and pretty cousins are
all women; and the daughters will be, (IIeaven
spare them!) il they live long enough. And
there is a love Of women in general, which We
do not deny. A fine magnificent specimen oi
the sex full OF life and health ripe, red cheek
and flashing eye, is something that does one
good to look at as she illuthlnates the hum
drum side walks and everyday streets. A
North river steamer under full headway with
the colors flying, is rather pretty sight, (ratn-
er stirring and inspiring and we pull up our
nag to see her pass and admire the swell she
cuts. Comparatively, however, the steamer
sinks into insignificance, or some other deep
water, by the side Of we'll dressed woman.
There is no rubbing it out-women are the
ornament, charm blessing, beauty and bliss OF
! life, (men's life we mean of course) Any
tneans, therefore that can be devised for prese;'-
wing them should BE- made known. They are
different from any other kind OF er''it Iou
cannot pickle them. You cannot do them up
id sugar and set them away in q cold room,
with paper soaked in brandy over their
mouths. You cannot put them in cans sealed
up air. tight, without injuring their form and
flavor. Now as men are so dependent on wo
men for their choicest blessings, proper mode
of preserving them becomes Of great moment
and we are sure that the public will thank us
for an infalIible receipt.


Have the feet we'll protected, then pay the
next attention to the chest The chest is the
repository of the vital organs. There abide the
heart and lungs. It is from the impressions
made upon these organs, through the skin, that
the shivcr comes; it is natures quake-the
alarm bell at the outset of danger. A woman
tnay never SILVER from the effects or cold upon
her limbs or head; but let the cold strike thro'
her clothes upon her chest and off goes her
teeth into chatter, and the whole organism is
In commoton One sudden and severe impres
sion of cold upon the chest has slain its tens Of
thousands Therefore while the feet IRE well
looked after, never forget the chest These
points attended to, that natural connection ot
the dress Will supply the rest, and the woman
is now ready for the air. Now let her visit her
neghbnrs go shopping, call upon the poor, and
walk for the good Of it, for the fun of it.


Keep away from the stove or register. Air
that is dry or bHrnt, tt1ofe or less charged with
gasscs evolved by the fuel, is poison. Go up
stairs and make the beds with mittens on. Fly

retain its form and favor in air tight cans,
neither will women. They need ait. IF the

Again; do not live in dark rooms. Light
fades the carpet but it feeds the flowers. No
living animal can enjoy perfect health in dark
ness. Light is as necessary as air; and a brown
tan is preferable, even as a matter Of beauty,

This much In regard to the physical means
for preservation. There are moral means i'm
pTlaHI. Every WOMAN SHOulu De married 10
an excellent man. Marriage, it is true, brings
care and wear; but it is the ring that is worn
that Keeps bright, and the watch that lies still
unwound that gets ont Of order. The sweet
| stmt tathes involved in the family relation, the
new energies developed by new responsibilities,
the new compensation for all the outlaws of
strength, brings about a delightful play upon
the heart and intellect, which in their reaction
upon the body, produces an effect that is moth
| ing less than preservation, Then there is a
higher moral power than this--one which we
speak Of lsoberly and reverently. No one is COM
pIetey armed against the encroaching ills of lie
who has no place in the heart for religion. The
calmness, the patience, and the joy and hope
that are in possession of that woman whose
heart is right in its highest relation can never
fail to heighten every personal power and
charm that she possesses.


There you have the receipt. Some of it is in
sportive form, but it is not less sober in truth.
