He says:4—“An erect bodily attitude is of vastly more importance to health than is easily imagined. (Jrooted bodily positions maintained for any length pf time, are. ah ways injurious, whetl er in the sitting, standing, or lying posture, whether peep ing or waking. To sit with the body lean ing forward on the stomach or to one side, with the heels as high as the head,is cot only-in bad taste, but exceedingly detri mental to health. It cramps 1 the stomach, presses the vital organs, interrupts the free motion of the chest, and enfeebles the functions of the abdominal and thoratic organs, and, in fact, unbalances the whole muscular system.. When a person finds it easier to sit or stand, walk or sleep, in a crooked position! than t, straight onp, such a one may be sure his; muscular system is .badly deranged j and the more careful he is to preserve a straight or upright posi tion, and get back tp nature again, the better. ■. ■ '| Help Him.—A rich inan sent to call a physician for a slight disorder.

Certainly, who can doubt it. when all know that jiistice and mercy abound in the ad ministration of law to the wretched rabble. Oh, certainly! Bring them up. And they were brought up. The motley crew, one and all, gath erings as they were from that awful,set, -whose wretched street life, is happily, ex cept on such occasions as these, half-hid den from mortal ken and Christian com ment by generous night. Bring them up —and - in. they were brought. Blear eyed age, and, hardened youth with haggard faces, with bruised limbs, with hang-dog Walk, forms sweltering ver min haunted rags, that the damp of the cell walls had made heavy and slimy—men women, a boy and a girl, all were there. Bring them up—for the coach and two awaits at the curb, to convey them to the palace where crime holds its confined rev els—to Prison. Besides the weather is cold and blustery, and the van driver is impatient. So is his Honor, the Magis trate, and so are his officials, who .all reel bound to laugh when he laughs—frown when he frowns, and in every act prove their devotion .to the Great Dogberry. Bring them up. Hero we are. Who have we here ? ■, First, a shivering, trembling old man, whose feeble, shoeless feet have crossed the threshold of three-score. His dull and leaden gaze is fixed upon the Csesar who holds his destiny in the balance. — ‘Vagrancy'is the charge. His tattered clothing is spattered with mud and the reeking filth of the streets. Now there is a strange story connected with this old man—this vagrant. And so there is, too, with that wrinkled, ‘scared woman face that peers up from be hind him—a face which once seen, is pho tographed upon the spectator’s memory forever. Man and wife —this old couple—man and wife—nearly at the end of life’s pil grimage—standing within the shadow of the domain consecrated to Liberty—as Va grants. And this is the story- of the old. A story of him with a quivering lip, and a faltering tongue —'his dull leaden gaze, as he stands there, still fixed upon the Caesar to whom the wretched horde around yield such an abject looks for mercy, ‘lf you please sir, I had to lie down in the market house; indeed, sir, I couldn’t help it.

The transla tor intended to say “which strain out a gnat and swallow a camel,’ that being the correct reading of the original, as appears in Tondale’s and Granmer’s translations, both of which have ( strained out.’. It was the custom of the stricter Jews to strain their wine, vinegar, and other pota bles, through linen or gauze, lest una wares they should drink down some little unclean insect, as a gnat, and thus trans fress the Law. It was to this custom the aviour alluded, intending to say that the Scribes and Pharisees, while they strain out a gnat from their drink, would yet swallow a camel at a gulp. *An Excrtjtiating Joke.—lu the reign of Charles 11, it was customary* when a gentleman drank a lady's health, to throw some article of dress into the flames in her honor, and all his edmpan* ions were obliged to sacrifice a similar ar ticle, whatever it might be. One of Sir Charles Sedley’s friends perceiving that he wore a.very rich lace cravat, drank to the health of a certain lady, and threw his own cravat into the fire. Sir Charles fol lowed the example very good-naturedly, but said he would have his joke in return. Afterwards, when he dined with the sane party, he filled a bumper to some reigning beauty, and called on a dentist to extract a decayed tooth which had long pained him. Etiquette demanded that every one of the party should have a tooth extracted and thrown into the fire, to which they all yielded after many murmurs about the cruelty of the thing. . 4®““ Col.
