en light rubbish deadly.--_George Eliot._ ~Health.~--Be it remembered that man subsists upon the air more than upon his meat and drink; but no one can exist for an hour without a copious supply of air. The atmosphere which some breathe is contaminated and adulterated, and with its vital principles so diminished, that it cannot fully decarbonize the blood, nor fully excite the nervous system.--_Thackeray._ Those hypochondriacs, who, like Herodius, give up their whole time and thoughts to the care of their health, sacrifice unto life every noble purpose of living; striving to support a frail and feverish being here, they neglect an hereafter; they continue to patch up and repair their mouldering tenement of clay, regardless of the immortal tenant that must survive it; agitated by greater fears than the Apostle, and supported by none of his hopes, they "die daily."--_Colton._ Refuse to be ill.

Petit Senn._ A loving heart is the truest wisdom.--_Dickens._ To judge human character rightly, a man may sometimes have very small experience, provided he has a very large heart.--_Bulwer-Lytton._ The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.--_Bossuet._ There are chords in the human heart, strange, varying strings, which are only struck by accident; which will remain mute and senseless to appeals the most passionate and earnest, and
