AN Erect PosITIoN.-A writer OF
health very justly condemns the hab
il Of lounging which large number
Of people indulge in, as injurious to
the health. He says: .1.7H 'l
"An erect bodily attitude is of vast
ly more importancs to health than is
generally imagined. Crooked bodily
positions, maintained any length OF
time, are injurious, whether in a sit
ting, standing or laying position,
sleeping or waking. To sit with the
body leaning forward on the stom-
ach, or on one side, with the heels
elevated to a level with the head, is
not only in bad taste, but it is ex-
ceedingly detrimental to health,
cramps the stomach. presses the vital
organs, interrupts the free motion Of
the chest, aud enfeebles the functions
Of the abdominal and thoracld or
gans, and in fact, unbalances the
whole muscular system. Many chill
dren become slightly hump-backed
or severely round-shouldered, by
sleeping with their head raised upon
a high pillow. When any person
finds iteasier to sit or stand, or walk
or sleep in crooked position than a
straight one, such a person may be
sure bis muscular system is badly de-
ranged, and the more careful he is to
preserve a straight or upright posi-
ton, and get back TO nature again,
the BETTER" - 81

lMpoRrANr DEcIsIoN.-The Court

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Court
in Bank on Monday made decision
that it is well enough 10 consider
and remember. 1t settled the princi-
pie that under our law any person
can, after the lapse of six months
from the time of the payment, sue
for, in action Of debt, and in his
o,rn name, and recover any moneys
that have been won, on an election.
The loser has six months to recover
back his money. If he fails to do so
in that time, any other person may
sue for and put the cash in his own
pocket. This is now the law. We
say it is right. Betting on elections
is a great evil, and if it is generally
known that anybody can sue for and
recover money won, it will do more
than anything else tc check this prac-
tice. We hope the press will cali
attention to this decision. Let the
great evil be put down with strong
hand.-State Journal.

THE FIREsIDE.

When the sDow-fakes softly rustic
On the darkened window pane,
And the night winds moan and murmur
In wild and fitful strain,
o, how welcome is the cheerful,
Brightly burning, ruddy light,
Glowing from the evening freside,
Glowing, sparkling. warm and bright.
How the mellow beams are dancing
On the ceiling and the wall;
Fen within the hearts dark corners,
With a gentle glance they fall;
And in the clear and pleasant radiance,
As in waves of gold il plays,
Melts the soul that's filed Nith sadness,
Lights the eye with softened rays,
Loved ones meet around the freside,
Through the dreary winter eve,
Whilst the storm without is widest,
Tales of other days to weave;
Songs that to the heart are dearest,
Breathe upon the hallowed air,
Voices gay in mirth are mingled,
Household words" are sweetest there.
How the aged and the weary
Look back to the happy hearth,
By whose merry light they sported,
Ere they tasted aught but mirth;
Though the glow has long been faded,
Brighter than of yore it burns,
When the spirit worn with wandering,
To that cherished vision turns.
Then, while falling snow fakes rustic
On the darkened window pane,
Let US gather round the freside,
Needless of the night-wind's reign;
And when life's enid winter cometh,
mid the darkness and the storm,
Wen again in memory's chamber,
Meet around the freside warm.

THE SNEERER.-There is large
class of people who employ them
selves almost constantly by sneering
at the efforts Of others. Nothing
done by a neighbor suits them. II
you perform an act Of charity, they
question your motives; if you ex.
hibit skill in your profession, they
pretend 10 regard you an overrated
man; il you produce something
decidedly meritorious, they ridicule
and depreciate its worth; and if you
originate a thought or machine, they
declare you a plagiarist. In their
estimation your writings are stupid,
and full Of tautology; your hands
valueless. And yet ask them 10 dc
what you aimed at, and failed in, ac-
coTding TO them, and they have not
even the ability TO try. They are
all, in fact, what they feign you to
be, and unfit for everything but
fault finding, crying down people oI
merit, and slandering worth. They
are envious, jealous, and full OF can't
Incapable of doing what you do,
and therefore envious Of your talents
too dull TO command respect, and
consequently jealous Of that you re-
ceive; incompetent to produce a
thought, and always ready to carp al
what you express. They are Of the
race of Diogenes, without his ability
Cynics, without the merit oI homes
ty Of purpose. Heed them not
reader. they are harmless, when
treated with contempt; and if you
ask where they are to be found, look
around you--your circle Of ac'
quaintaace will furnish one, nc
doubt, of the class.--Com. Record.

the Delaware Republican calls a,ten.
ton to an unusually large spot on
the sun. which may be seen through
smoked or colored glass. The writer
adds:
"By a rough measurement Of the
present spot, I found its diameter to
be about ihirty.three thousand miles,
consequently occupying an urea on
the suns surface OF eight hundred
millions oil square miles, equal to
four times the superficial contents Of
our mighty earth. II serves to give
some idea Of the stupenduous bulk
of our solar orb, when such a vast
deduction may be made from its lu-
minous surface and yet any diminu.
tion of emitted light be unpercepti.

where suggested by astronomers
that these solar spots served to pro-
duce hot summers and mild winters;
il true we may consider our present
winter an illustration" s

lMMoRTALITY.-It cannot be thai
earth is mans abiding place. 1t can.
not be that our life is a bubble, cas-
up by the Ocean of Eternity, to fioal
moment on its waves and sink into
nothingness. Else why is il that the
high and glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temple OF
our hearts, are forever wandering
about unsatisfied? Why isit that the
rainbow and the cloud come over US
with a beauty that is not of earth,
and then pass off and leave us to
muse upon their faded lovelinessl-
Why is it that the stars which "hold
their festivals round the midnight
throne" are set above the grasp of
limited iaculties-forever mocking us
with their unapproachable glory?-
And finally, why is it that bright
forms OF human beauty are presented
to our view and then taken from US
leaving tbs thousand streams TO
flow back like an Alpine torrent up
on our heartsl We were born for a
higher destiny than that OF earth.-
There is a realm where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will be
spread out before us like the islands
that slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which here pass
before US like visions, will stay in
our presence forever.-Prentice.
