CONVERSATION ON CoNscIENcE


A few friends accidendy meeting one
day, were led in conversation to conclude
that some men have no conscience. "Thers
is neighbor r." said one of them, "who
has borrowed from me no less than three
umbrellas, and seems to make no con nscience
of bringing them back" 'Ah,'' said a stu.
dent ii have several such neghbors, until
my library almost consists Of odd volumes"
"The case is bad enough" said mechanic,
"but not so bad as mine, for have been
working for the rich Mr.. f. for the las.
twelve months, and he has so little consci.
ence that he always puts me off when ask
for payment .."Well well' said a pbysi-
clan' 81 have always found that men had
less conscience in paying the Doctors bill,
than any thing else" Excuse me-" says
country clergyman, "if doubt your conclu-

Poughkeepsie, July 10th, 1888.

The Cleveland (O.) Commercial Intelli-
gencer, Of the lth inst. says, that Honorable
Wilson Shannon, the Loco Foco federal can
didate for Governor of Ohio, addressed a
meeting at the Court House, in that city, on
the evening previous. After enlarging upon
political topics, generally, he came at last to
give his views particularly upon the Sub
Treasury scheme. The Inteligercer says:
He did not, however, meet with much response
from the audience. Ithen he announced The fact that
the measure had been defcatcd in Congress there 1cas
general shout Of applause! This coming from
democratic assembly, meeting composed almost
exclusively OF the party, must have been somewhat
embarrassing to his excellency. He knew not how
TO take it, but finally eased off by saying that the
subject Was paich iras much misrspre.eated and
misunderstood.
We have noticed but few of his statements. We
have neither time nor inclination to do more There
was no enthusiasm and but little or no feeling ex-
hibed by the meeting The people, and even
large portion of the Van Buren, party, have become
heartily sick of the prominent measures ofthe admi-
nistraiion. They desire rcforni-they desire the
general prosperity Of the country, and will vote for
no man entertaining sentiments such as those ex-
pressed by Mr. Shannon, at the Court House last
evening

Ii appears according 10 Thomson and hl
followers, that the human system is a ma
chine, whose action aud ocomoton depend
entirely and exclusively upon heat. Or, tC
use Thomson's own language, heat Is he
The fact is, If heat is hfe, all bodies must
live; for it cannot be denied, but that all
contain heat. But the 1homsomdns say II
is animal beat that is life Then the ques.
ton arises, Does animal heat differ from any
other kind of heat Most asSuredly not.
1t penetrates and expands bodies, and affects
the thermometer in the very same manner
as natural or artificial heat. Hence we are
led 10 the conclusion, that it differs not In
lis nature from other heat, but emanales
from a different source.
Ii well known fact, that the body can
maintain lis natural temperature, although
IN an atmosphere much colder than its own.
Ii is also a well established fact, that war.
mer bodies are always giving of caloric 10
those that are colder. Hence the question
arises, How does the human body, although
IN an atmosphere much colder than its own,
retain its natural temperature! The Thorn.
sonians are reduced to the necessity Of say.
ing, tina, heat puts the system into operation
to generate more heat; or, in other words,
heat is the cause of itself. Which is, ac.
cordIng TO reason, philosophy and common
sense, not only ridiculous, but consummate
nonsense. Ii must al once be evident, that
there does exist in the human body labo.
ratory to generate caloric, and upon its ac-
ton animal heat mast depend. Hence we
have proved, that calorc is not the prinum
mobile of the human system, but it is de.
pendant upon certain operations OF organic
matter. Consequently II cannot be life, for
life does no, depend upon the action of the
different organs of the human body; but
their action, il is evident TO all, depends up.
