PHILosorHY or EATING.-Use but two or
three kinds Of food, besides bread and but
ter, at single meal and never cat anything
between meals. You should eat at regular
hours, but three times day, with two inter-
walls Of not less than five hours each, nor
more than six.
Cold water retards digestion, and SO does
any liquid, if much is taken during or soon
after a meal; half glass at a meal is suffi
cient. From an hour and half after q
meal until within half an hcur before the
next one, you may drink as much water as
you desire; 1t is best, however, to drink but
swallow or two at time, with an inter-
val of half minute or more; otherwise you
may take more than nature requires before
you know 1t, Just as in eating too fast.
/ If too much fluid is taken during meals II
dilutes the gastric JUICE, thus weakening the
powers Of digestion, and retaining the 70 cd
longer in the stomach than is natural; il also
couses acid stomach, heartburn, fulness
and bad blood, producing, according. to cir
cumstances, a dryness, rawness, or scald-
ing sensation in the throat, as do indiges-
tions from other causes, whether from quail.
ity or quantity offood
All errors as to diet arise from quantity
or quality, and suppose one safe rule to
each, applicable to all persons; and under
all circumstances.
As to quality, the general rule Is to ear
that which you like best, and you will find
| by close observation and experience, Is fol-
lowed by no uncomfortable feeling about the
head, hands, feet or stomach. As TO guam.
/ tity, take as much at one meal as will allow
you to become decidedly hungry by the
next meal; this can only be determined by
consecutive observations, but remember,
never swallow an atom Of food unless you
are hungry;s never force particle Of food
on yourself.
The brute creation cannot be induced I'd
eat or drink if slightly excited, guided only
by there poor blind instinct, and we who are
much higher than they, by the treason" that
Is within US, ought TO feel ashamed to act
less wisely, and yet nine-tenths of all our
ailments, acute and chronic, enter here; and
nine-tenths ofthem might be cured thus, if
taken in reasonable time, and properly pre-
served in. ~,
The finer all food is cut with a knife, be,
fore put into the mouth, the sooner and ee-
sier it is digested, on the same principal that
a large piece of ice placed in vessel of wa
ter will require longer time to melt than If
it were first broken into many small pieces.
The gastric juice dissoves solid food,
from without inwards; hence food, especial
| ly all kinds of meat, should be cut in pieces
not larger than pea before,i it is taken in
the mouth, taking in as many pieces at o
time as is convenient. This preca1tion
would not be needed were persons to eat
slowly and mastcate their food properly;
but our national habits are otherwise, nor is
there much hope ofspeedy change in this
respect.

Mr.. BUcHANAN.-The papers in Penn
splvania favorable to the Buchanan inter-
est, are bitter and savage against the men
who, by their incessants labors, caused his
defeat at the Locofoco Convention. The
Lancaster Intelligencer, Harrisburgh Union.
Mfflinton Sentinel, &C., are filled with COM
plants at the course of Senator Cameron,
Judge Champneys, Col. Frazier, &c, Sc,
who labored necessarily to slay Buchanan.
1t is his last chance at the Presidency, and
it is not surprising that he and his friends
should feel indignant at the treachery OF
Pennsylvanians who have thus far g. forever
nbbed all aspirations.

PLAsUIyG THE INvESToRs.-The Locofoco
papers have attempted to cast ridicule and
reproach upon Gen. Scott because, in one Of
his letters, written in hurry, he had used
the term "hasty plate of soup" Like the
hard cider and log cabin charge against Gen.
Harrison, it is about to recoil and overthrow
the sneerers. We notice in the Philadel-
phia ratification meeting the appearance of a
large company of working Wings calling
themselves "Soup Boys" This is but the
beginning of the retribution that is sure to
follow from Locofoco abuse. Look out for
more Soup Bop.-O. S. Jour.

WHIG STATE CoNvENTIoN.-We call the
attention of the friends of the cause in this
County, to the call ofthe State Central Com
mittee for State Convention to be held on
the 2lst july. The State Journal in noti-
cling the call says:
There was a, general wish to have it earlier,
but as the harvesting will not be finished be-
fore that time, and as the nomination oil
ScoTT has settled the question that we are
to have the largest and most enthusiastic
mass meeting on the 22d of July that Colum-
bus has seen since 1910, it was thought ad-
visable to arrange matters so that the far
mers, &c, could attend with the least incon-
venience. The Sd fully is recommended
as the day for holding Ratification County
Meetings, but as this call will not reach
some of onr county papers in time to have
the county conventions announced till next
week, it will scarcely afford time enough be-
fore the 3D.. In such cases different time
will be fixed by the County Committees.
The Campaign opens gloriously. Never
were Wings in such confidence of success,
or, in better spirits. Locofocoism stands cow
ed and abashed. 1t has run riot of late, but
the day of judgment on their course has now
come. Ohio has suffered enough by the hands
of the demagogues and spoilsmen, that now
rule her,and as she did in 1910, and lS44she
will again in 1862, rebuke them in a man
ner they will understand, and again take her
rank, high up among the glorious Wing
States of this Union.

ToMAToEs-Those who wish to hurry
their tomatoes for market, may do so by prop
er shortnng-iu at this time. A Il must have
observed that 90 per cent, of the tomatoes
grows within lS inches of the ground, and
that 80 per cent. ofthe vine, containing only
10 per cent ofthe fruit, grows above this
point; therefore cut it off and remove it with
the small tomatoes The vines will not bleed
and the large tomatoes left will increase in
size more than enquel the value OF those re-
moved besides getting them in market while

"When the Danes invaded Scotland, il

in the pitchy darkness of night, instead of a
pitched battle by day; but on one occasion,
the invaders resolved to avail themselves Of
this stratagem, and in order to prevent their
tramp from being heard, they marched bare
footed. They had thus neared the Scottish
force unobserved, when a Dane unluckly
stepped upon a suPerbly Prickled thistle, and
instinctively uttered cry ofpain, which dis
covered the assailants to the Scots, who ran
to their arms and defeated the foe, with great
slaughter The thistle was Immediately a.
dopted as the insignia Of Scotland"

THE TELEGRAPH AND Mr.. PIERCE's VOTES.

an article in the Republic touching Mr..
Perce's votes on the Harbor and river bills.
1t scolds through whole column on the
subject, not that it has any objections to the

Pierce are operating to dampen the DEMO
CRATIC eatuSmGSy in the Great West. They
will be very apt to do so; and we apprehend,
if Mr.. Pierce had not been crowded on the

and the Western Democracy had been made
acquainted with his votes on these matters
he never would have received the nomina.
