The necessity of a systematic attention to regular exercise, is ably urged in the following extract from "The Phrenologicul Journal." "A person accustomed to daily activity, will feel invigorated and refreshed by a walk of four or five miles in the open air; whereas, the same distance would exhaust another, who has not been in the habit of walking at all. But instead of inferring from this, as it is often done, that exercise in the open air is positively hurtful to the latter, reason and experience coincide in telling us that he has erred only by exceeding the powers of his system; and, that to acquire strength and activity, he ought to have begun with one mile, and to have gradually extended his walk in proportion as the muscles became invigorated by the increased nutrition consequent on well regulated exercise. A person recovering from fever, begins walking across the room, perhaps ten times in a day, and gradually extends it to twenty or thirty times, till he gains strength to go into the open air. On going out, a walk of ten minutes proves sufficient for him at first; bnt by degrees his flesh and strength increase, and his exercise is prolonged till he arrives at his usual standard. Such is the order of nature; but many sedentary people have no patience for such slow progress, and when urged to take exercise, they grudge the trouble of going out for a short time, and think that, if a walk of half a mile does them good, one of a whole mile, will do more; and when they suffer from their error, they shelter their ignorance under the general assumption, that exercise does not agree with them! And yet some persons who argue this, would think themselves entitled to laugh at the Irishman who, finding himself relieved by five pills taken at night, inferred that he would necessarily be cured if he took the whole box-ful at once, and on so doing, narrowly escaped with his life."

"From these principles it follows, that, to be beneficial, exercise ought always to be proportioned to the strength and constitution, and not carried beyond the point, easily discovered by experience, at which waste begins to succeed nutrition, and exhaustion to take the place of strength; that it ought to be regularly resumed after a sufficient interval of rest, in order to ensure the permanence of the healthy impulse given to the vital powers of the muscular system; and that it is of the utmost consequence to join with it a mental and nervous stimulus. Those for example, who go out only once in four or five days, are always at work, but never advancing;

for the increased action induced by the previous exercise has fully subsided long before the succeeding effect is begun; and so far as increased nutrition and greater aptitude for exertion are concerned, no progress whatever is made."

Twelve Rules of Conduct for a Turkish Wife. 1st.-Obey your husband, for he is your lawful master; he paid your price, and made you presents, therefore he is your sultan; his right arm is your protection, and the edge of his sword, if needs be, your punishment.

2nd. Love your husband if you possibly can, and if you cannot, do not hate him; for it is your duty to cherish and make much of him.

3rd. Be mindful ever of the respect you owe him, for he is your lord; salaam him in the morning with a respectful greeting, and when you present his first pipe to him, kiss his hand, and bend your knee, and sit not in his presence, till he has twice desired you to be seated.

4th. When yon quarrel with the other women, do it behind his back, and if they rival you in his favor, let him not see your jealousy, that he may not hate you, for jealous wives are always hated; and if he smiles on the slaves while you are rubbing his feet, still do it gently, and let him not feel that you are weary of pleasing him.

5th. When you dance before him, move not your limbs too much, like the Almes, whose voluptuous movement you have no occasion to imitate, but dance like a modest wife and not a

wanton.

6th.-Remember your face was made for your husband, therefore let no human being but him behold it; for it is only the Christian women who have no shame, who show their features, and are inconsistent enough to conceal their necks, and expose their bare visages.

7th. Neither like those unfortunate women, be seen in the street with strangers; do yon, who are Moslem women, and know what is modesty, when you are addressed by an impudent passenger never lift your veil, but spit on the wretch who mistakes you for the wife of a Frangi.

8th. If your husband be old, it is needless to plague him; pray to the Apostle to endow you with patience, and though you are entitled to more recreation than other women, do not frequent the bath too much before the good mau has made his will.

9th. If a foolish Effendi throw a sunbul, you must not stoop to pick it up, nor tell your slave to do so, that would be unworthy of a virtuous wife; but slaves will pick up flowers, and Jews will deliver impertinent messages, and bath-women will convey insolent letters of cloves and charcoal, and a woman of discretion ought never to be aceused of receiving any thing of the sort.

10th. Make your breast the safe depositary of your own secrets, and if it be possible, of that of your husband's also; the more you know of his secrets, the more power you possess ; the less he knows of your's, the smaller is the risk of your confidence being abused.

11th. If your husband beat you, and your lungs be healthy, reud the air with your screams, lift the roof of the house with the loudness of your shrieks, and cry murder and rapine from the street windows; and if all fail to collect the rabble, and shame your lord, shout the zangenoar, till the guard and firemen fill the house, and refuse to go till they are paid for their trouble.

12th-If he threaten to drown you, make a friend of the Cadi's wife, and if she cannot assist you, nobody can; and if he threaten the rack twice, it is time to think of a divorce,—a seperate maintenance is a great calamity, the allowance is always small, but some women think it pleasanter to be di vorced than drowned; but it is a matter of taste, my child, in which it is difficult to advise. It is in love that we prove the first pleasure is melancholy, and the first eloquence silence.

Jews in Russia.-A number of Jews were found guilty, some years ago, of cheating the customs; and as this tribe generally finds summary judgment, in all countries, all the Jews in Petersburg and Moscow were bidden to depart within fortyeight hours. The necessity of disposing of their property within that period subjected them to great loss, but they were obliged to submit. Their losses were not so great as to leave them altogether powerless. At Moscow, the law was modified, and the Jews were allowed to remain in the city fortyeight hours at a time, for purposes of trade. This was enough. They had little difficulty in coming to an understanding with the police officers: the letter of the law is punctually obeyed, and the Jews very obediently take a walk beyond the gates, every second day.
