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

Bishop Capers, on Children.? 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."

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

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

the home he is approaching, where ho will

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

the future tends constantly towards Heaven,
and quiets its eddying cares, and tranquilizea
itself before it reaches the eternal ocoan.

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

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.

Taylor) 1 have a higher reverence for lite
virtue ot hospitality than we seem to set
upon it at present. When a Turk regales

roasts his turkey for you?when an advocate
of the Maine Law gives his German
friend a glass of wi?e?when some of my

our excesses, mind you, but our
usual habits of life?even when they differ
on such serious grounds as I have mentioned.

small, but in the aggregate swell to a large
sum, and if not prointly paid. Bubject us to
great inconveniences. Our payments are cash ;
and we must require our friends to enable us

propriety of charging for Obituary Notices
