Sit Upright.

"Sit upright, sit upright, my SOM" said a lady
to her son George, who had formed a wretched
habit of bending whenever he sat down to read.
His mother had told him that he could not
breathe rightly unless he sat upright. But it
was no use: bend over he would in spite of all
his mother could say. "Sit upright, Master
George!!" cried his teacher, as George bent over
his copy-book at school. IF you don't sit up
right, like Master Charles, you will ruin your
health and possibly die of consumption This
startled Master George. He did not want to
die, and he felt alarmed. So after school he
said to his teacher, please, sir, explain to me
how bending over when | sit can cause ne to
have the consumption!
THAT l will, George replied his teacher, with
a cordial smile. "There is an element in the
air called oxygen, which is necessary to make
your blood circulate, and to help it purify it.
self by throwing off what is called its carbon.
When you stoop you cannot take in a sufficient
quantity of air to accomplish these purposes;
hence the blood remains bad, the ~air-cells in
your lungs become irritated: Presently the
lungs inaame. The cough comes on. Next,
the lungs u~lcerate, and then you die. Give
your lungs room to inspire plenty of fresh air,
and you will not be injured by study. Do you
understand the matter now, George!"
Il think l do, sir; and l will try to sit upright
hereafter said George. He was right in his
resolution. Will all the boys and girls who
read this article initiate him? They will, I know,
if they wish to live healthy lives. Make it
your motto therefore, my little reader, to sit up.
right, whether you sit to eat, to sew, read, or
to converse. Now don't forget it. You must
sit upright-Forrester's Magazine.

The Baltimore Americans journal of great
judgment and ability-coudemns the Catholic
clause in the American platform, in the follow.
ing terms:
There is one blot, however, upon the plat
form which we can neither approve nor pass
over in silence. We allude to that feature
which institutes a religious test, and proscribes
a certain sect of Christians. We are aware
that this is attempted to be done on the assum.
ed political aspect of Roman Catholicism, but
the distinction is so indefinite and SO certain to
be overstepped, even if it could be clearly
drawn, in the heat of the contest, that it NAV
be safely asserted that the effect Of the article
will be 10 introduce into the political arena re-
ligious questions that have neither a moral nor
legal right there. We can recognize neither
the propriety nor necessity of this feature Of the
platform, and think that it cannot BE- insisted
upon az an essential feature of the principles
of the party without greatly weakening its
claim to public confidence and exposing it to
charges of intolerance which can neither be
parted nor satisfactorily answered. Much Of the
evil of this feature Of the platform is, however,
abated by the accompanying strong assertion
OF the right of every man TO the unrestrained
and peaceful enjoyment of his religious opin-
ions and worship; still we cannot but think that
the entire omission from The declaration Of prin.
ciples Of all reference to a particular religious
sect, would have been more in sccordance with
that just sentiment of the country which looks
with fear and distrust upon the formation of
politico religious parties.

Growh of Nebraska-The Nebraskian speaks
thus encouragingly ofthe growth and prosperi-
ty of the Territory:
"The tide of emigration is already beginning
to pour into our Territory. At various points
we hear of new arrivals daily. Here, at Omaha,
buildings are going up with astonishing rapid.
ty in all parts of the city. At Brownsville,
Nebraska city, Bellevue, Fontenelle and De
Soto the work of Improvement is going steadi.
ly and rapidly forward. The old towns in the
T'erritory-we mean those that were COM
menced last fall--have already grown into i'm
portance. In various parts Of the Territory
new town sites have recently been surveyed,
some of which must,'at no distant day, occupy
conspicuous positions"

E1ectiux Candidates.

The Judiciary election is over, aud mems
views and feelings, particularly those of the
candidates, have undergone a considerable al
iteration. We doubt not the vote would have
been very different if the election had been
held previous to those great political events, the
Virginia election and the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. But, whatever may be said of the Chief,
it has proved one thing with reference to the
Associate Justiceship: that the day has passed
when a citizen can expect to be elevated TO
Office upon his own intrinsic merits. Getting
elected in these latter days Of progress, or we
might say with a nearer approximation to truth,
of bare.faced corruption, has been reduced to
a science, and he who neglects the rules, will
assuredly be defeated, no matter what his abs
lities or his virtues. Those rules consist in
having squads Of disinterested patriots station
ed at various points, to extol the virtues and
great fitness for the post of the candidate who
has been forced to accept Office, (of course it
requires money to do all this)-a corps Of rea-
dy scribblers, to endorse each others state.
ment's about the candidates abilities, his purity
of character, &c.--and last though not least,
another class Of friends to procure signatures
to letters, insisting that he accept the honors
the people wish to confer upon him. And thus,
~humbuggery prevails, incapacity and unwor-
thiness succeed, and really good and true men
receive scarcely any notice from the deceived
electors. Alas! they have passed away, the
pure and good old days Of the Republic!
