more than one in every three thousand that

say nothing of the unpleasantness of mus

while tbey are so very care Til of the food

seem totally careless of the kind of proven
der with which their lungs are furnished.
It is not our design to determine th om
parative importance of fxd and air. Both
are necessary, and it ia important to health
that both should be of the right kind.
Man is a breathing animal. Tha lungs
heave on, by day and by niht, when we
sleep as well as when we wake. They
perform their work whether we will it or
not. It is ascertained thai every minute
of bis life, a man of ordinary size draws
into his lung 104 square inches of air,
aud sends it out again, unfit for further
use. If he would he welt, he must have
fre.h air at each breath he draws. The
air he send out, is loaded with the seeds of
disease and death. Ol course we only state
facts, without entering into a discussion of
tha why and the wherefore. That the air
wt send nut ia of auch a character, is a
well established fact; yet men.aye and wo
men too, Who ought to take car? lh.l they
inhale nothing but what ia purity itself,
will consent to shut themselves up in close
rooms an J breathe over and again the aame
foul air. as foul and as unfit for use as the
biead that has moulded, or the water in
w hich the pig has wallowed.
Tha sight of any company in a close
room, especially if the placo be crowded,
the ceiling low, and a hot fire burning in
the stove.i perfectly horrifying to one who
looks at it aoherly. Yet people swelter iu
such confined apartments, for hours it may
be, breathing every moment the air which
their neighbor has thiuwn out from his
lungs the moment before, and never dream
? - j m,x. aeinng me nwrm tnetr pny-
sical constitution at nought. They would
not break the moral law by withholding
from a neighbor his due that would be a
in : but they consider it no sin lo with
hold from their lungs the air which God
has made their due. They feel no com
punction of conscience when they do vio
lence to the laws that their Creator has
written on the frame-work of their bodies.
They need to be told that they do wicl'eUiy
when they refuse to the lungs thr pUre H;r

who made them has Stowed so bou mi

We appet' i0 eery friend of himself or

A Rat Story.
Some months since, an incident occurred
iu a large shoe shop ia this borough,
which may not be uninteresting lo Chron
icle. Morning after morning, loola were
missing from the shop awls, knives, balls
of yarn, &c. and the evil iucreased so as
to become a serious affair. Not only was
it expensive to repair these losses, but
suspicions and jealouay among the work
men produced 'most unpleasant eonsequen
ces. One was discharged another threw
up his situation yet the tools continued
to be removed by an ur.imown hand.
The proprietor had. determined to turn off
one workman after anoihcr.until the guilty
one was e,,ne, and the evil banished. Hap
pily, however, at this juncture the missing
things were accidentally discovered, in a
pile of over 100 different article?, and up.
on following up the trace the fact were

The "Crtila" again. , I
Since we came upon the s'age of action,
there ha been scarcely a session of Con
gress in which the demon of Slavery a
miserly tyrant insatiate as the grave has
not demanded some new infringement upon
human rights, or some violation of the
Constitution ; and that aim ha frequently
been nccomplished by frightening cbieken
heirted northerner out of their good sense
by threatening disunion.' We hope and
believe the present Congress will not per
jure themselves by yielding an inch to the
tli reals and defiance of Southern Bobadilx,
but that they will admit California with
her Proviso, ai.d also any other new State
West or Southwest, thai may have enough
common sense and common honesty lo
adopt that wholesome reguUtioo. Any
Member of Congress from the Free States
that falters in thi emergency, is false lo
bis trust, aud unworthy the freemen be
represeuta.
Disunion! it is (ho veriest humbug of
the day ! There is not a braggart among
t ho score at Congress who io words daily
violate their oath " lo support the Union,"
who WDuld dare lo lead a hoile file of
men in opposition to the U. S. laws. They
dure not if they could dissolve this Union,
nor would they if they could. The great,
but not vaporing masses at the South West,
will never allow of disunion. They could
not resist the forces of the North, nor
could they keep down their own slave-, j

We have been asked whether emigra

lay over for lhe decision of the Editor. If
it would not impair the virtue of an insu

Early Hoars
. Young men and old boys who have ar
rived at the aga of $u$ctitibility, should
bear in mind tha medical maxim that "one
hour's sleep before midnight is worth two
afterwards." Hence when they call upon
a lady of their acquaintance, they should,
for their own sakes never prolong their vi
sits beyond 8, or 0. "Short and sweet"
is the motto for if agreeable to lhe lady,
an early call is long enough : and if not
agreeable it is too long. Bjsides, you can
not know what domestic duties the lady
may have to perform or lesson to get
or work 10 read ; and so you may never
know whether you are not trespassing up.

thit would make Ihe "eternal hanger-on's"

testimony that visits prolonged towards the

respect proper, and would kindly ad
vise you to learn wisdom by their experi

Boat Building Frlck fc Sllfer.
The botts built by these gentlemen, and
sent lo New York, have been so much ad
mired that ihey have entered upon another
large contract, and are going forward with
increased n eans and strength. It will be
seen thai they have called for 300 work
men ; and they also advertise for 1,200,
1)00 leet of boat lumber, ("for particulars,
see small bills.'; We understand they con
template having another Boat-yard, at the
mouth of BuQdloe creek. We hope the
energy and enterpriae of these young me

themselves, but also the Borough.
