Walker, in his " Original," lays down tho
following rules for attaining high health.
Thoy aro worth remembering, particularly
his ndvico to wives and husbands.
" First, study to acquire a composuro of
mind and body. Avoid agitation ol mio or
tho other, especially beforo and after meals,
and whilst tho process of digestion is going
on. To (his end, govern 3 our temper, en.
deavor to look at tho bright side of things,
keep down as much as possible tho unruly
iassions, discard envy, hatred and malico,
and lay your head upon your pillow in
charity with all mankind. Let not your
wants outrun your means. Whatever dif
ficulties you havo to encounter, bo not per
plexed, but onjy think what is right to do in
tho sight or Him who seetli nil things, and
bear without pining at tlio results. When
your meals are solitary, let your thoughts
bo cheerful; when thoy aro social, which
Is better, avoid disputes or scriou3 argument,
or unpleasant topics. " Unquiet meals,"
says ahakspcare, " mako III digestions, and
tho contrary is produced by easy conversa
tion, a pleasant project, welcome news, or a
lively companion. 1 advise wives not to
entertain their huihauds witli domestic
grievances about children or servants, nor
to nsk for money, nor propound unreason
nblo or provoking questioiiB, nnd adviso
husbands to keep tho cares and vexations
of tlio world to themselves, (ml to bo coinmu
uicativo of whatever is comfortable, cheer,

they meet vou, they speak without putting
on a dozen silly airs, or trying to show olf
