The Preservation of Health. "We take the following extracts from a penes of lectures on the "Education of Man," by Thomas Ilopley, nn English author and philanthropist:? " If exercise he taken at an improper period, so far from proving beneficial, it frequently does creat harm. Injury is occasioned to development by taking violent exercise after a hearty meal, because no action, no function can be performed without blood. Wherever there is action, or functional excitement, there blood is particularly busy. For digestion, then, there must be considerable circulation among the organs of nutrition, and food supplied to the stomach is nature's signal for a rush of blood in that direction ; but during violent exercise, the principal flow of this life-giving fluid is at the surface and extremities of the sys tcm?being, by tbe energy of action, drawn nway from the organs of nutrition to support and re organize the active muscles.? By indulging, therefore, in violent exercise immediately after a hearty ineal, tbe necesary quantity of blood is attracted from the full stomach, and a weakening of the powers, if not positive indigestion, is the inevitable consequence. "And here we see the error of deep thinking immediately after a hearty meal ; because the action of the brain also weakens the digestive powers. No human organs require for the performance of their duties such abundant supply of blood as the brain and the stomach. These organs, therefore, cannot work vigorously together. It is scarcely possible to over-estimate the discomfort which arises from inattention to these facts; and particularly during the training of the young. Those acquainted with tlio routino of schools may call to mind many instances which have not only tended to injure m< n'al and boldily development, but which have given rise to positive injustice and much unmerited unhappiness. Neither deep thought, then, nor violent exercise, should be permitted directly after partaking largely of substantial food. Mirth and conversation are the best medicines for mind and body at that period 4 Laughter,' says Professor Ilufoland, 'is one of the greatest helps to digestion with which I am acquainted ; and the custom prevalent amongst our forefathers, of exciting it at the table by jesters and buffoons, was in accordance with true medical principles.' * * * ' Endeavor,' he adds, " to have cheerful companions at your meals. "What nourishment ono receives amidst mirth and jollity will certainly produce good and light blood." "But not " mirth and jollity' alone, but happiness of every kind conduces to health.; It may bo received as an established fact in physiology, that every pleasure which do?.s not tend to pain?i. e. every lawful and moral pleasure?is improving to the system. The very following after health is following after lawful pleasure: and if, during the pursuit, a pain of any kind attack man's constitution, it should be regarded as a hint from nature that he is departing from the right way." " Nature being perfect, the cause of troubles must not bo sought for in her, but in our infringements of her laws. She has her source in God. It is God himself from whom emanates laws for the health and happiness of malo and female; and every pain which afflicts humanity is a proof that lliefre laws hava been infringed. Let us cea?e, then, to speak of ill-health as natural. The great majority who talk so do not think, and therefore are simply giiilly of not thinking ; but should there bo one wtio would deliberately and reflectively ppeak of sickness, or ailments of any kind, as natural, let liiin well consider what lie charges against Gotl : either that ho is in' capable of making perfect laws, or that in bis office of Lawgiver he is careless and indiffeient, or that lie wills the unhapriincss of his creatures. In a word, to speak of ill-health as natural, is. ignorantly or designedly, to utter blasphemy." "With regaad toiil-healih being natural, it may be thus argued. The Creator either is, or is not, capable of making laws for mankind's perfect mental and bodily development; in other words, laws, by following which mankind may be kept free frotn mental and bodily disease. If we say he i? not capable, we utter blasphemy ; but, of course, no human being, worthy of the name, doubts that lie, to whom 'all things are possible,' is capable, and was capable, at the period of the world's creation. 44 The question then arises, has he, being capable of making laws, by following which mankind mny be kept free from menial and bodily disease, done so, or not? Was it '"His design, 'in the beginning,' that however man acted, whether well or ill, whether as a sinner or nol, he should suffer?suffering should be natural to him?should be his fixed, natural law } This is the extreme of blasphemy. It is making the perfect and all-loving God cruel and unjust?a designer of evil. It turning the Hook of Truth iuto a lie?the sacred volumo affirming that God, when he surveyed his work of creation, saw that ' everything' (man's body, man's mind, man's freedom of thought ami action?the natural laws?'everything') 'was very good.' God not, then, 'in the beginning,' so constitute his laws that illbealth should be natural, produced or affected by the laws of growth, foimation, or motion, impressed on bodies or beings by ^'Divine Power.' Nor can it be looked upon as such without, to say the least, incurring the danger of serious error. ' 44 And if it be an error to speak of illfcedlth as natural, it is equally an error to speak of any kind of death as natural, 6ave a earn arising irom old age. Science, philosophy, and inspiration, all point to this opinion; and the greater the advances made by science and true philosophy, the jprektttr will be the flood of light which ball illuminate the inquiring mind while the sacred mandate, * Search the ti Scriptures! ' God made not death, n?ither bath be pleasure in- the destruction of ^fe livingfor 'He created all things that tbey might bave their being, and the generations of the world wer? healthful.' (Book Mf wisdom i 13, 14.)

The following Bensible thoughts about children and children's amusements occurs in the autobiography of that lamented bishop of the M.E. Church, Rev. Wm. Capers, D. D.,? "And I say now, let tho children he children. Let them have their plays in their own way, and choose them for themselves. We only spoil it by interfering. And 1 say more; away with all seiitimentaliaro, and tho cruelly of unnatural constraint. What a deprivation it would have been to me at Belle Vue to have been refused my traps, because it was cruel to catch the birds! But I iiad my traps, and never dreamed of any crueiiy in me matter, fll v lather made ilic lirst one for me, and taught me how to make them, and how to set them, and to choose proper places for them. But he never made a cage for me, nor did I ever want hitn to make one. God had given me the birds to eat. if I could catch tliein ; bill not to shut them up in cages, where tliey could do ine no pood. No artificial cases conscience were made for me. I Loved tlio birds. I loved to see their pretty feathers, hnd to hear them 6ing ; but loved to taste of their flesh si ill better. And I might do so as inoffensively as a cat, for anything I was taught. The use gave the measure of wright in the case. Such as I could not eat I would not catch. And I hate this day tlio mawkish philosophy, which gives to the birds the sympathy due to the children Let the children bo free nnd nctive. Let. tiiern have a mind and will. And let (hem have a parent's gentle, faithful guidance; nether the ill-judging weakness, which it | ever teasing thein with inteijeotions that means nettling ; nor the false refinement which, while it must have the birds go free to carol in the groves, makes caged birds of the little children ; nor the tyranny of constraining them out of all their simple, gleeful nature, to behave like old people." Edgefield Advertiser. South Carolina? Charleston*.? A most interesting celebration took place on Wednesday evening last, the 9th instant, at tho residence of Mr. <fc Mrs. Levy Moses of this ciiy on the occasion of the fiftieth Annivor-ary of their wodded life. Blessed to witness an event of so rare occurrence. and rejoicing in the possession of unimpaired health?"iheir eyes tindimmed by }ig<\ and their faculties undiminished," ?they could well join words of Thanksgiving with which the occasion was religiously marked. It was indeed a touching sight to behold the venerable couple, surrounded by a numerous kindred, and to see their glistening eyes as they greatfully thought over I lie past, and could sincerely re-echo ?lio "Hallelujah" which burst from the lips of all who were present at this Golden Wedding. Theirs has been a life of unobtrusive piety, and silent benevolence. At the bedside of the sick, and in the hovel of the indigent, tliev have ever been found as ministering angels doing good without seeking for worldly applause. Such ants of beneficence seldom go unrewarded ; and in the present instance wc may safely recongize the truth of that dogma of our faith which teaches 'God rewardeth the virtuous man according to his work.1' An appropriate form of service was improvised for the occasion by the Reverend Henry S. Jacobs, niinsiter of the congregation "Shearith Isreal," including a short address and prayer in the vernacular.?Jewish Messenger. The Catf.s and Fkets of Life:?Wc do not mind one little winged freebooter of the night with his ministrelsy of blood, but a whole swarm of mJ?ouitoes buzzim? about ii5*, we cannot endure. A single particle of dust is not much, but when it come in clouds in a hot sumn.er's day, fettling upon books and furniture and dollies, and blowing into the eyes, it is an annoyance that can scarcely he borne. So there are many cares and troubled in this life which, taken singly, we would disdain to notice, but which, in the ag?jregate,tvecome such fret and burdens that tiiey make us weary of existence. The only way we can learn to bear them with cheerfulness, 19 by looking to the future, and living in it even while yet on earth. A man who is journeying to his own wedding, or to his father's house, would scarcely be called a man. if he complained of the unavoidable discomforts of traveling in the cars. He takes tliH confinement and the compared position, and the dust and cinders of things, gf course, and solace himself with thoughts of the home he is approaching, where ho will have pure air and room and liberty and comfort . Now thin world ic ftno nf mmoi ?? " p.-v.f.1 life' and we must expect, in passng through, to take the fare of the road. It will no? be hard to do this, if wo are sure of a blissful homo awating us beyond. When rivers have found the ocean, they roll thither all the currents and channels of their character?disturbed waters.and tranquilize themselves, and at their mouths widen into bays. So the heart that has found the future tends constantly towards Heaven, and quiets its eddying cares, and tranquilizea itself before it reaches the eternal ocoan. ?H. W. Beecker. Modern Lecturers:?"The popular system of lectures has developed, to an incredible degree, the impudence of the rostrum. Formerly uncommon knowledge of a special branch, or special tl>qtience. was deemed in dispensable to a public speaker ; now free soope is given to the ignorant and the flippant. But it is not these who mainly exhibit the platitudes of rhetoric ; men of education and talent suffer themselves to compromise their self-respect and patftler to a morbid appetite for intellctual disipation under the name of popular lecturers. Two of the most successful on this vocation acknowledged .to us that they repudiate it, when most profitable, from sheer self-repoach .being heartily ashamed of makiifg money by dap trap and superficial .logic. With a few brilliant exceptions, those who serve up 8 secular mental repast for a consideration owe the privetege of addressing their fellow-creatures to marthless effrontery, weaving alternate jokes and patboa with orude fragments of knowledge, and confidently - VM ?U V|#|)MUII vu Hiin?

Congressional Lecture:?the Mobile Weekly Oueette administers a well-merited lecture to the people's rcpiesentatives in Washington who talk for buncombe, to the tune of eight dollars per day and mileage. We move its reference to a committee of the whole people of the United States. In no particular phase of our gorernroentul arrangements has there been a wider departure in practice from the intention of those who project our political system than in the manner which Congress has adopted for conducting its business during the last few years, It was designed to be a delib era live body, under whose wise consideration all the measures necessary for conserving the public interests 6hould he carefully matured. Representativesfrom all ports ofourextended country, it was supposed, would reflect the will of their various constituencies, and after a full interchange of opinions, embody in their conclusion the united wisdom of the whole confederacy. To fulfill this object, full discussions of all questions connected with our foreign or internal policy is absolutely indispensable, and a great diversity of opitiion might very reasonably be expected. It would scarcely be possible to present a measure which, among such a multitude counsellors, could pass without debate. Great latitude ought to be allowed and much irrelevant speechifying, but who, among the founders of the lb-public, ever dreamed that the halls of Congress would ht'l'Omri ft ViKt l*j/?tnrii.!-nnin wlmr<* rately prepared, addresses having no posible connection with the subject under discussion, would be prompously delivered, not for the purpose of enlightening those who listened to them, but to swell the reputation of the speaker at home ? Vet, such is the fact, and in nine cases out of ten, without the caption of the newspaper, stating on what occasion the speech was made, one could not form the slightest idea of its subject or direction. Not only is the time which ought to be employed in looking after the public interest thus wasted, and a heavy expense entailed upon the country, but through the franking privilege this vast mass of purulent matter chokes up the mail and renders that department a heavy burden upon the revenue. Is thero no way to break up this sys torn ot long-winded (Jongressional lecturi0g ? _ IIospitalitv. ?I confess (writes Bayard Taylor) 1 have a higher reverence for lite virtue ot hospitality than we seem to set upon it at present.

True hospitality in| volves a consideration for each other's habits?not our excesses, mind you, but our usual habits of life?even when they differ on such serious grounds as I have mentioned. But I have dined with vegetarians who said, "Meat is unwholesomo, so my conscience will not let me give it to you or with the ventilators, who proclaim that "fires in bed-rooms aro injurious"?and I was starved nnd frozen. # ?
