STRENGTH DIMlNlSHED BY ALCOHOL. The acquisition ofstrength is found to be on. ly temporary ; dulness, both of the passions and-intellect succeeds, together with a dimin- ution of the muscular power; a tendency to sleep ensues; and it is seen that the subsequent exhaustion is in reality proportionate to the previous excitement; in short, that the drinker instead of increasing, has only used up his vital owers, and is now weaker than before.— ence it is that, although spiritous liquors cre- ate a temporary energy, which may, under some circumstances, possibly enable him who drinks them to accomplish more than at ano- ther period, yet the reverse is the ease in the long run ; and, both as regards a consecutive series of daily labour, and the prolongation of life, alcoholic drinks are a real disadvantage. The experience of all those who have employ- ed numerous wokaen, and who have made comparative trials, is decidedly conﬁrmatory of what we here allege. In mechanical strength, in the capability of enduring hard- ships and fatigue, in the force and clearness of the intellectual powers, the intemperate can stand no comparison with individuals endowed with the same natural advantages, who abstain totally from the use of ardent spirits.—Phila- delpht‘a .Med. Society Report.

ECONOMY.

The acquisition of wealth appears to be the prevailing desire amongst men, and the pur- suit is laudable ifit has justice for its founda- tion. Blackstone says a property founded on injustice cannot be of long duration. There is no honest way ofacquiring wealth but by in- dustry and economy. All know how to he in- dustrious, but it requires information and ex- perience to understand well the practice of e- conomy, which is the operation of knowledge in regulating business according to time and circumstances. Whoever makes use of all his time according to the best of his abilities, is fulﬁlling the purpose of his creation, and doing all that virtue requires of him. A farmer should arrange every thing throughout his fa- mily and farm,accordin to justice and equity; ever one should have t eir allotted portion of the usiness to do, in order and regularity.— When justice is known to be the basis on ieh the whole business of a farm is conduct- , each one will do his duty with cheerfulness d expedition ; for justice, like salt, _ ‘e- rves everything about it. The ladies re spectfully solicited to use their inﬂuence in promoting industry, frugality, and eeonOmy, in their domestic vocations—their exetnp e and advice have great inﬂuence in sec ety— the fashions, customs, and manners of s coun- try are very much at their control—it general- tv falls to their lot to have the care of chil-

ren, and to train them up to virtuous habits 8:. industry, and teach them the rudiments of knowledge, and duties of great weight and im rtsnce in society. .

rly rising, temperence in eating, drink- ing, conversation and labor, are all necessar requisites towards completing an economics life. Early rising produces ﬁne spirits, encou- rages indlpstry, and gives many a leisure hour

for mental improvement, which is ofmore va- lue than any other acquisition. Tern erance should be observed as the indispensab e crite- rion in all our actions ; it promotes health of body, sanity of mind, and long life~it shields us from many loathsome temptations, in which gluttony, drunkenness, and other excesses, in- evitably involve us.

The faculty of speechis a divine power con- ferred on man, which enables him to pursue a progressive improvement of the mind towards perfection ; of course, language should be cul- tivated and preserved in purity.

Moderate labor strengthens the constitution, regulates the circulation of the blood, and pro- motes a proper tone in the system—excessive labor debilitates the system and shortens life.

By following the rules of economy, a young man in any circumstance in life, may ﬁnd time and means to acquire knowledge and improve his understanding. Every hour when )53': is gone forever, and all the gold of earth cannot redeem it; if well spent, it stands in our favor; but if ill spent, it stands against us; and what- ever the understanding impresses on the me- mory, must remain there as long as the mind continues to exist, Our good actions are al- ways commending and encourages us. This shows the necessity of making use of all the vacant time in the vauisition of useful know- ledge. Early vauirements are of great im- portance. Ten minutes well spent, at ﬁfteen years old, are worth more than awhole day would be at seventy. Little do young people know the value of the golden hours of youth. or they would be more cautious how they throw them away; for bad habits are easily vauired ; but nothing in nature is more difﬁ- cult than to forsake them. All our well 5 out hours shine like diamonds in our lives, an the mind looks back on them with divine pleasure. A plough-boy by a judicious employment of time, might make the tail ofhis plough the school of Wisdom ; and a eollegian, by an in'u- dicious employment of time, imight make is college a school of vice and mental debase- ment. It matters not what our occupation is, if we make the proper use of time ; for indus- try, judiciously applied, is the philosopher-’3 stone, so ardently sought after by ancient sa-

es in vain, The farmer, of all men, has the

airest opportunity of acquiring knowledge in its original urity—his business calls him thro’ ﬁelds, woo s, and vales, and gives him ac- quaintance with the nature of things. There he can read the unveiled truth, written in the book of creation, b the hand of God, without an interpreter, an no one will have the hardio hood to tell him it is not true; because it is composed of self-evident facts, containing the principles of all the sciences, and the duties of life. A ploughman wishing to become ac- quainted with any particular branch of know- ledge, may carry a book in his pocket; con- taining a theory of what he would wish to learn, and read a few sentenees occasional] to speculate on, while he is following his plea h, without interro ting the business of the ay. This method acquiring’gnowledge can he put in practice by the inha itants of ci- ties, as well as those of the country; but not

with equal success,—for want ofa rural scene- ry they would fail, particularly in the art of poetry. There have been but few good poets without being aequainted with a country life. --Phil. Eve. Post.
