THE FOUR GUEAT SOURCES OF HEALTH. The preservation of health mainly depends on early rising, temperance iu eating and ^drinking, exercise, "and cleanliness. These important advantages are distributed befet tweeu the ricli arid the poor in a tolerably lair proportion, which may aocount for the Apparent equability in the length of life, be. tweca two states so seemingly opposite in Vespect of those advantages, which might be thought to conduce to the enjoyment of health and long life. The poor have early rising, which is of the very first consequence. From this, theTich often exclude themselves, because they have no obliga. tion to compel them, and because they go *to bed too late. The humble and scanty "diet of the poor, they so much deplore, is yet of advantage to their health ; though it is true, as they work hard, they could often Atfit tlmn 4*5IY1 utur iiiuiv suu.nauuui uivi) iuuti i.?^ generally procure. But the opposite state of the jjch is much more prejudicial to health. Their luxurious living and compartivc want -ofexercise vitiates the blood and humors, nnd lays the foundations of various com"jdaints. Fron not being able to afford sup. "pcrs the poor enjoy sound res*, the want of which is so much conjpktincd of by the rich. 'But the poor injure themselves materially by ^be use of intoxicating drinks. The rich use i Avinesand other rich drinks too frequently ?nd tliey eat more than is necessary, or proper, and tfiatgcnerarHy of things prepar-cd so artificially that the simple or nutritious j qualities arc to a great degree lost. " ~ ? j -A PHrslCUN\ The following beautiful cxtr&ct is taken from u Talcs of a physicari," a work recently republished in this country. u There is scarcely a profession in which the sympatliics of its professors nro more .painfully excited than that of theTnrdical " practitioner, flow often is he called to the bed of hopeless sickness; and that too, in a family, the members of which are drawn together by the closest bonds of love. How painful is ft to meet tfte enquiring gazo of at tatcbed friends, or weeping relatives, directed towards him in quest of that consolation, "that assurance of safety, which he is not able to give! And how melancholy is it to behold the last ray of hope, which had lingered up. on the free of affection, giving place to the dark cloud of despair. And when all is over,?when the bitterness of"death hath passed from the dead to ihcliving, from the ^departed to the bereaved,?hark to that shriek of agony, that convulsive sob, that ? bitter groan, wrung from the heart's core, which bespeaks the utter prostration of tho spirit beneath the blov. Thy, cold the embrace of death, lies the honored husband of a heart-broken wife her first, her only love!

Among the imliaitions of the immense wealth of England, none is more striking than the amount of depositos in Savings Banks. In the year 1832 this amount was thirteen millions of pounds sterling, and in 1934 fifteen millions. As no douht nearly the whole of this immense sum is deposited by the poorer and laboring classes, the evidence it affords of prosperity is still more gratifying. * ????mw?w??p??i : Mercantile Advertisements.

The importance of this knowledge will appear from the fact that tho nett profits of land devoted to the culturo of Silk, is double, if not triple to that derived from any crop which can be put up011 it. It i9 also a fact, that every farmer cin raise several hundred dollars worth of silk, without interfering with his ordinary agricultural operations.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE on the CuL ture of Silk, adapted to the climate and soil of tho United States, by F. C. Corastock, Secretary to tho Ilartford Comity Silk Society, and Editor of the Silk Cultorist. Illustrated by engrjvings. i Tho interest in all paris of tho United States in thn culture and manufacture ofSiik, manifested ' by the constant culls for information on the sub. ject, has induced the publisher to have prepared a plain Practical Treatise on the cultivation of j tho .Vulberry and roaring Silk Worms, adapted to j tho soil and climate of tliist country and to the J wants of plain practical men. The Practical Culturist in this country needs j a directory adapted to the soil on which he plants | his trees, and the climate in whieh ho www him \ worms, without reference to soils and climates less congenial to their growth. It has been therefore tho object of the- author to make a treatise strictly practical, omitting nothing of importance, and adding nothing of a useless or extraneous character. As making the raw material into sowing Silk and Twist is very profitable to tho Silk grower, all necessary information for that purpose will bo given. This work is in the press and will soon be pub- j lished in a duodecimo of about 100 pages, in hand- 1 soino binding?price 50 cents. A part of tho edition will bo put up in olastic covers to bo forwarded by maiL Editors of Nowspapers who will givo tho abovo threo insertions, with this notice, and forward their paper with the advertisement marked, shall be entitled to a copy of the work, to be forwarded to tncir oraer.
