Maxims of Health.
Extract from a recent work of Dr. Kitch
en
The more luxuriously you live, the
more exercise you require.
Exercise, to have its full effect, must be
continued till we feel a sensible degree of
perspiration (which is the panacea tor the
prevention of corpulence,) and should at
least once a day proceed to the borders of
fatigue, but never pass them, or we sliall
be weakened instead of strengthened-
After exercise, take care to get cool
giaduuliy ; when your head perspires,
rub it and your face, with a dry cloth.
Be content with one dish ; as many men
dig their graves with their teeth as with
the tankard. Drunkenness is destructive,
but gluttony destroys :i hundred to one.
The food which we fancy most, general
ly sits easiest on the stomach.
To affirm that any tiling is wholesome
or unwholesome, wi limit considering the
subject in all the ciicumstances to which
it o r -ars relation, and the unaccountable
peculiarities of different constitutions, is,
with submission, talking nonsense.
What we have been longest used to is
most like to agree with us best.
The wholesomeness See. of all food de
pends very much on the quantity of it, and
the way in which it is cooked.
Those who are poor in health, must live
as they can j certainly, the leas stimulus
any of us use, the better, provided it be
sufficient to properly carry on the circula
tion.
The steady dames of Edward the
Fourth’s court rose with the lark, despatch
ed their dinner at 11 o’clock in the fore
noon and shortly after eight were wrapt
in slumber. How would these people be
astonished, could they but be witnesses to
the present distribution of lime among the
children of fashions Would’hey hot call
the perverse conduct of those who rise at
one or two, dine at eight, and retire to
bed, when the morning is unfolding ail its
glories, and nature putting on her most
pleasing aspect, absolute insanity.
Swift lias observed, such is the extent of
modern epicurism, that the world must be
encompassed before a washerwoman can
sit down to her bi-eaklast ! —i. e. by a voy
age to the east fortes, and to the west for
sugar.

Swearing Ladies.
w Mr Editor —From the circums apee
of lately hearing great profaueness in
swearing in some Ladies, whose unex
ceptionable characters in other respects
stands in the highest rank —1 have taken
occasion, through the medium of your
paper, to make some observations on that
■mmodest, illbred, disgusting practice,
which some Females of fashion, and pro.
fessed respectability, have lately imb bed;
and who, notwithstanding the checks and
admonitions of conscience, the force and
example of a faithful Ministry, which they
constantly attend, and the entreaties and
expostulations of their friends are invinci
bly pursuing that pernicious vice, regard
less, not only of the weakness, levity, and
ignorance it displays on their part, the
injury it does to the rising generation, and
society in general, but seems to be insen
sible of the awful, impious example they
are setting before their offspring.

By the fast sailing ship Bayard, Capt.
Van Dikk, in 30 days from Liverpool, we
have received our regular hies of London
and Liverpool papers —the former to the

IVest Indies —We do not observe that
the bid for remitting the restrictions o.i
the commerce of the British West Indies,
was taken up in the House of Commons on
the 29ih of April, the day intended. Thai
day was the last on which it had been re
solved to receive any reports of private
bills, except under extraordinary circum
stances. Scores of petitions from various
parts of England, complaining of agricul
tural distress, occupied the attention of
the House; and after much debate, (in
which Mr. Hicardo and Mr. Bumgham
joined,) the several orders were then dis
posed of, and the House adjourned.
The London papers are principally filled
with the proceedings of Parliament. Par

the question even of a limited reform, was

Agricultural petitions have been pre
sented from the counties of Cornwall, Sa

“ to a weak, profligate, and arbitrary ad
ministration, which could neither be re
moved nor controuled without a reform
in the representation of the people in Par

rotted from continued inundations. He
implored the interposition of government
for one million of people who were in dis
tress—in starvation ; for four months they
had nothing to look to for subsistence.—
One hundred and fifty thousand people in
Clare were starving ! Mr Guuldburn re
plied, that a gentleman had been commis
sioned to visit those districts; and that the
Irish government would, after every thing
possible was done by the resident gentry,
no doubt apply every possible relief—
What an alarming state of society !—The
