EXPANDING THE CHEsT.-The Scientific Ameri-
can says that those in easy circumstances or those
who pursIe employmentS within doors, use their
lungs but little, and breathe but little air in the
chest, and lay the foundation cr the loss of health
and beatty. All this can be obviated by q little
attention to the manner Of breathing. Recolleet
the lungs are like bladder in their construction,
and can stretch open 10 double their size with per-
feet safety, giving noble chest, and perfect immu-
nlty from consumption. ,e ya.
The agent, and only agent required, is the COM
mon air we breathe, suppcsing, however, that no
obstacle exists external 10 the chest, such twi
ming it about with stays, or having the shoulders
lie upon it, On rising from the bed in the morn-
ing, place yourself in an erect posture, with youl
head thrown back and your shoulders entirely off
from the chest, then inhse all the air that can be
got in; hold your breath and throw your arms of
byhipd; hold your breath as long as possible. Re
peat these long breaths as many times as you
please. Done in cold room is much better, be.
cause the air is much denseE, aud will act much
more powerfully in expanding the chest. Ekerc-
sing the chest in this manuer it will become fiex
Bile and expausib e. aud will enlarge the capacity
and size Of the lungs.

Settlement of t Methodist Church Pro-
perty Question at New York.

The undersigned, committee appointed for the
purpose Of preparing a statement for publication
Of the action of the CommISs onelS upon the qut S.
ton in litigation between the NJ. E. Church and
The NJ. L. Church, South, in re,ati II TO the prop
erty Of the Book Concern in New York, report
the following. t
The Hon. John Mclean, having voluntarily un-
deraken correspondence with the ConmL soners
Of the NJ. E. Church and those Of the NJ Church,
South, and having received assurances from both
parties OF a disposition TO come to an ancable
settlement OF the matter in litigation, and having
been invited to be present at meeting Of the
| Aforesaid Commissioners and TO aid them with his
counses, met with them at The mission rooms, SO
Mulberry Street, New York, on the 26th ultnJ,
and, by the unanimous request OF the CommlSSIon-
erS, acted as Chalrn' II.
| After ca.eful and most friendly examination Of
| the whole question, the Southern CommlSS oners
made proposition for settlement Of their clam,
which the Commissioners for the New York cOu-
Germ accepted. Nothing now remains 10 be done
| 10 conSummate this Si!abe ad djuStnent OF most
troublesome litigation but the execution OF the ne
cessary papers, and the arrangements iOI iral de-
cree of The United States Court for the southern
district of New York, now in session in this city.
| The settlement has been agreed upon by the
| parties without the arbltrament OF thIrI party,
and is to each entirely satisfactory. The conclu-
sion of this settlement was followed by lhanksgIv-
lug TO God, and most hearty expressions Of Chris
tan love and mutual confidence. The feelings
winch prcvoliamong the Commissioners OF the Two
Churches, may hope, is true type OF that
which will prevail hereafter throughout the bounds
OF our common MethodiSm, North and South.
| Much credit is 10 be awarded to his honor, Judge
| Clean for his agency IN tie completion ol this
important and desirable arrangement. and we
duubt not but this act will stand iromnently
among those Of his long and brilliant career, which
have given him so envabIe position before the
Christian public.
The details of the settlement will be made
known 10 the public when the final decree OF the
Court shall transple. GEORGE fEck,

your Prime Minister, Hassenpfug, whom am be-

The Poor Voter on Election Day.

The proudest now Is but my peor,
The highest not more high;
To-day, of all the weary year,

To-day alike are great and small,
The nameless and the known;
My palace Is the peoplc's hall.
The ballot,box my throne!
Who serves to-day upon the list
Beside the served shall stand;
Alike the brown and wrinkied fist,
The gloved and dainty hand
The rich is level with the poor,
The weak is strong today
And sleekest hroadCloth counts no more
Than homespun frock or gray.
To-day letromp and vain pretence
My stub born right abide;.
/ set plain mans common sense
Against the pedaut pride.
To-day shall simple manhood try
The strength Of gold and land;
The wide world has no wealth TO buy
Thepower in my right hand!
While there's grief 10 seek redress,
Or balance TO adjust,
Where weighs our living manhood less
Than MammOH's vilest dust
While there's right TO need my vote,
wrong 10 sweep away,
Up! ciouted knee and ragged coatl

their establishment they have graduated $4,000
students. Most Of The colleges in the United
