We like to look upon a healthy woman; she is a prodigy in the nineteenth century. Wherever Tea go yon see scores and hundreds ofspleeny, sickly, feeble girls who can hardlv muster courage to make their beds, wash their faces, drive an Intruding cow from the yard. Tell them about early rising, fresh air and health v exercise, and they heave a sigh as loug as the moral law, and almostjfaint away. You expect them to get sp before day;to work In the kitchen;to breathe the fresh air of morning! Preposterous and absurd. They have never seen the sunrise, wonld hardlv know but the sun continues to shine forever, if en noi ior me almanacs and their grand his victems, tiii they ioarn tlieir duty, and pursue that course which insure, health, trength and long hfe.

They were stout, strong, happy . w-hy? They rose early-worked j . and never spent the midnight hours i iuid i7i me. a ney ana nearly, like beavers, in dancing. Instead of being frightened at a mouse at their feet, a beetle on their neck, a fly's foot on their arms, in the absence of th:r fathers and husbands they wonld load their guns, and shoot bears aad cntamounLs.and keep at Hay a party of aages. How have these daughters degenerated! What female is there now-a-Jays who wonld'nt run from a gun, even if it had no lock 1 Tha ladiea of olden times outlived their husband years and years. How is it now ? Widows are few and far between. It was no singular thing for our grandmothers to have three or four husbands in the course of their lives. Now it is the reverse. Men hav eabont as many wives diseases of late have been so fatal amog the female ex. Do you Know the cause? It is found in li tlea idleness inactivity late hours thin shoos muslin dresses a horror of the fresh morning air.and a delight in that. detestable stuff, stitched in pink and yellow covers, which is flooding oar country. If they will do nothing elee.young ladies,'will.sit and read from morning till night, that sickly, impure, and we will say licentious trash, that Is thrown iu such abundace from the press.
