Wings. OH the whole inuet to brighten. Tho
great mass OF the people throughout the country
have at length turned their attention to the polite
al condition ofthe country and TO the principles Of
the party in power, and are preparing to rally in
defence of the constitution and the laws. They
begin to discover that The important question for
them to decide is not who shall have the loaves
aud fishes of oilice, but who shall sustain the con-
stitutipn and the laws, and transmit the glorious
legacy untarnishedt to the next generation. The
decision oflhis question has not been left TO the
people of one or two States, but TO the people Of
all the States individually and collectively. and 10
them i, is now fully submitted. We await the is
suo not without solicitude, but yet with firm re-
lance thar i, will be favorable to fro edom and to
the rights Of man. All that the President has said
therefore for popular effect Of the United States
Bank, will not we opine, greatly strengthen the
cause of Van Buren, nor Of any other aspirent,
who dsregnrds those constitutional restrictions
which the people consider essential to the prcser-
yation Of freedom, and for the protection of which
they are under the most sacred Obligations

former ally and friend No, tina, the President, or
either Of the Cabinets are serious in ther show of

presen, power, in Il political point of view, aud to
propose serious and decided measures for u rupt-

The emotions ofthe mind have pow
.erful influence upon the stomach. Let a
person who is going to sit down to dinner
with good appetite, receive IA piece of
news, either exceedingly joyful or exceed
ingly Distressing, and his appetite goes in
a moment. Children who are about to
set out on pleasant journey, it is well
known, cannot eat. i"is, when l was a
child, used to be called tourney proud )"
On the other hand, q blow upon the
stomach will sometimes take life instantly !;
drink ofcold water, when the body has
been very hot, has often had the same eff
feet. Attend to your companions when
on journey afoot, as their slomachs
grow empty, how sullen and silent the
whole patty becomes! let crust Of bread,
little cheese, glass Of ale or wine be
taken, and checrtulness Immediately
reigns, even long before any nut, meut
has had time to reach The general circula-
tive system. These things all show the
general sympathy between the stomach
and every other part Of the body. Cur

KINGDOM OF GOD.

The phrase Kngdom Of God, con veys
70 many minds the idea Of some outward
estab lishment or form Or at least, Ol
somo cause or object that is extraneous
10 piety itself. But, says our Saviour,
the kingdom OF heaven is wtkin you ;
and Paul teaches us that the kingdom OF
God consistelh not in meats and drinks
that is, not in outward services and GER
emonial offerings, but in righteousness,
and peace, and Joy, in the Holy Ghost
In other words, the kingdom Of God is the
prevalence Of Goodness. la the mind
that i, embued with religion, God reads;
it is subject to his will. Christianity in
its holy influences on the heart, is very
naturally denominated the kingdom or
reign of God.

HARD LABOR CONDUCIVE TO HEALTH
AND LoNG LIFE. A young man at the
age of I8 years, in 1924, was condemned
to the gallies, in France, on account of a
high crime, for the long period of one kan-
dred gears, which was probably intended,
by the Judge, to coniine him for life. Re
markabIe as it may appear, in 1924, the
man, being in perfect health, after an un-
remi,tng series of hardships Of one entire
century, was discharged, being exactly
li8 years old. On visiting Lyons, he
laid claim to an estate which belonged to
his family. NJ BertholT, the possessor,
who considered his title undoubted, by the
advice Of his own lawyer, paid the old
heir Gl,5OO to. settle the business, and

of the apprentices not to work beyond the
hour of o'clock. They will neither
work after hours for wages, nor will they

measures are resoried TO, to compel them
to labor with more alacrty than they have
done since they emerged into state OF
