VARIETY. ; Bathe todb body, if you wish to enjoy "good health, and also if you wish to enjoy ono of the greatest luxuries at this season of the year. A man getsip in the morn ing, washes his bands and face, pronoun ces himself clean, and eats his breakfast with great complacency.. And clean he would be, were his body composed exclu sively of his hands and lace. Day after day ho performs this partial ablution, and conscience never whispers to him that he is misusing tho other members of his body most abominably. His head aches his feet swell he feels unaccountably uncom fortableand yet he never dreams that all this is caused by an obstruct ion. of. the pores. He cannot understand that health jand good looks depend materially upon gear . erai and habitual cleanliness. Cleanliness is, not a ! negative but a posi - tire virtue; a man thatjieeps a clean body cannot but have a clean conscience. Great rascals are: always filthy in t their person. 1 never vet knew a neat man to be nuiltv ! of dirtyac'tion; his ideas, Jjkehis bodyJ pure and uncontammafcd. "l'hy cleanliness is niy present theme." The proverb tells tb' sluggard to go the " ant, to consider her ways and be wise. ; , From tlie little bee we learn industry; from tho dog, fidelity; and from the fox cun. ning. 'r And shall the cat be excluded from t the list of our tutors? , Look at her in the morning, as she sits demurely perched up in the window sec 'how gracefully she moves tliat pliant paw, cleansing her body corporate, and so intent upon her task that the very mouse runs past her unheeded. . With what consciousness of having done , v well, does she come purring up to. you, wagging that tail which is not to be trodden Jfton. . Pat her on the head, and if you have .hot washed your body, feel ashamed that you are taught cleanlinessbv a cat!
