' 1 I mate read with much interest fthe excellent ' article ia your Aogott number oa the ' advantages of cnld water bathing, regretting only thai the writter omitted to point out Uie'mVant whereby people liv-ing- at a liftanee from the ' tea, a clear river lake) or pond," may. obtain the much prized Juxury of complete dtily ablutirtne. Those who hare nut noticed the article are adyited to turn to pace 246, current volume; read it attentively and profit .by the advico therein contained. The direc tions given will be acknowledged to be good by every one who haa been accustom ed to the health- giving' invigorating bot much' neglected exercise of swimming; which 1 will add, by the way vghl to be considered an indispensable part of evtry ynung person' education. Girls ar Well as boys, ought le be systematically taught to ewimi thus rendering- them more hardy, and capable of taking care ot themselves when in the water instead ot their present fashionable state of dependence upon the ruder sex, and in cases of emergency such as constant It occur at bathing places, and xi&t where leaking jb;m JDStrunoMtaL in saving instead of endsngering tbe lives ol their fellow crestnres. My obieel in askins leave to fill a col- arna in your joural publiahed "for the ben efit of farmers and others,' ia to point out some appliances and means whereby the inhabitants of our rursl district with itmiletJ"ireu- expense procure ibis . great comfort for themselves, their . wives, and children wlien it mute from the water, and at seasons when out of door bathing impracticable for though more pleasant in summer, it is not less necessary in every season, to preserve heatih by perfect cleanliness. A to tbe best time lor bathing from long personal experience, I prefer tne ' early tnorntn? bain. first because it secures cleanliness fur the day, which, if deferred may be prevented mvarious ways, second' ly; because for persons in delicate health. it it considered most beneficial, being i frequent prescription of physcitns for tie' bilily and nervous complain!: and thirdly because it save the time that would other wise oe oevoiea to a second enure cnanire of dress, which in winter, and moderate weather ia seldom desirable. ' A this is written for plain practical peo- file I shall pass with a slight notice, the uxury but not uiilrequenl accompaniments, plunging baths, hot and cold, theijr trained attendant the shower bath, and tlie sofa whereon to repose . after the exercise. I will pass over the neot, modern portable shower bath, with which every bouse, nay, every chamber, may be furnished lor a few dollars; and speak of those onf that can be easily and cheaply provided, Every "farm house must have st least, one large tub in it. Those who can aflord it should have one made for tbe purpose, six feet long, two feet wide and three feet six inches deepio ordet that the shoulders may be) covered with water when; the silting posture . is used. Those who can not afford this may use die great tub that is kept, for scalding hogs which answers admirably, This . placed in an out house, or ahed that can be shut from a curtain or temporary screen, should be half filled with water every evening. If s later bath is preferred let it be fill ed earlier, and, if the wster is loo cold, let it (land lor seve ral hours in small vessels exposed to the tun; or add a few gallons of boiling" water. I never take nor advise a bath below 60F. When the bathers have done with it, the water can be ued for .washing, scrubbing, or watering the"garden. , A shower bath can be made st an expense not Worth es timating in this way. Enlarge the . bang hole of a small barrel and (aa old churn will answer finely;) , lay. it on pivots on which it will turn freely, in a box; a few inches wider thin the barrel; make a whole in this box to correspond with ths one in the barrel, eover tbis hole with a plat of tin, painted, to prevent it from rosting, and perforated with very tmall holes, or the water will fall.wiih too much violence on the head. ' Fasten a rone over lhetha. re) with the ends hanging within resch 6f your nana, wnen, standing tinder it; one end to draw it over and the other to pull it bsck by; theq suspend tbe whole from the roof of a ahed, or the ceiling of a room so (hat you -secure a fall of about two feet above the bead, and yon hare one as ef f ertual and complete as if it cost twenty dollar.

' i- ---; During my residence in Ohio, I knew the wife of a farmer. who with his boy, workei hi liale farm and lived comfortable by dint of the most persevering .and patient industry. This woman had been born lad educated in ene of the Adtntio states) sod she considered the daily bath of so much importance to health fend comfort, that in all her difficulties it wis rarely omitted, tier los? house was small and inconvenient, consisting only of two rooms ami a wood shed below and three small chamber a b'ove. The kitchen at hi meet farm heeees was the largest room and in one corner of this she had placed for the winter a. hog head cut down and screened Irom sight when in use, by a bed cover hung ' horn the join above."" In the tummer it was th wood shed; and in tbie primitive kind df balhfelw dippedv ftret heHChrtdrea and then herself every morning while the men were feeding the stock snd tne , kettle on the fire: preparing for breakfasts tier neighbor sneered, sad wondered how she could take so much time, snd before break fast, loo; but she ssid good na'Uredly, thai in "twenty minutes all 'was 'finished and comfortn whole day) and Certainly a more healthful, merry set ol children never rewarded mothers' care..'. ,' . ,. v- - ' -..i-?- Now Mr Editor I trust I have net writ ten in vain. The article upon which Ibesa remarks are founded must have . convinced the most prejudiced of die healthfulnes of the practice of using cold water daily snd freely. This its before stated, will point out the means and leave no excuse but lux- ineit, which few will urge in favor of unclean habits in themselves and others. GAMING.
