How People TAKE Cold.

Not by tumbling into she river and drag
ling home as we: as drowned rat; not by
being pitched into :he mud, OF spilled out in
to the snow in s!eighing time; not boy walk
ing Tor hours over shoe top in mud; not by
soaking in the rain without an umbrella; not
by scrubbing the floor until the unnemeable
sticks to you like wet rag; not by hoeing
potatoes until you are in latber of sweat;
not BY trying to head pig in mid-water, and
induce him 10 run the other way, for he wont
do any such thing; not by steaming over the
wash-.nb; not by essaying to teach Bddy to
make mince pies for Chistmas, when you don't
know how yourself, and then worrying your
self into a perspratiJn because the pies
stuck 10 the pan, and came out in a mHss,

soap; these are not the things which give
people colds: and yet people are all the time
telling us how they "caught their death by
exposure"
The TIME for taking cold IS after taking er-
ercise; The PLACE is in your oWn house, or Office,
or counting room. II is not the act of exer.
else which gives the cold, but it is the getting
cool too quick after exercising. For exam

A New AND NOVEL ExPEDrENT un-
derstand that the keeper of q Lager beer sa-
loon in the Bevery, since Mayor Woods
stringent measures for the prevention Of sell
ling liquor on the Sabbath has given his Gus
TONERS notice that lie will hold diuine serpice
in his saloon at 10 o'clock 4. NJ, to contin-
ue until 10 O'Clock at night. In accordance
with this notice, large congregation as
ssmble at the appointed hours when he COM
mences the exercise by reading portion Of
the Scriptures, after which he proceeds to
exhort his congregation in a manner which
we think the Maine law men and Mayor
Wood would not feel themselves very highly
Aat,ered by listening to. His renarks,whi ch
are said TO be Of the most violent and wicked
character, are frequently applauded by his
hearers. II is said that on person going
into the saloon, ard taking a seat they ask
for prayer book which the bar tender mis-
construes into bottle Of beer, and accordingly
sets one b fore him with glass. After the
spe aker has proceeded for some time hat is
, passed round, and collection taken to pay
the expenses of the meeting, after which
another speaker is introduced, and thus the
meet ng is kept I'D till a late hour in the
even 'ng.
II this does not equal any trick which has
ever been introduced by the anti-Maine law
men Of Maine, it Ger anly does no: fall short
OF it. The Mayor has the full particulars
under his supervision, and assures us that he
intends completely breaking him up, and that
too in very short order.-N. Y. Express.

Speak &c itly: 'tis better far,

Speak &c itly: 'tis better far,
To rule by love tnan fear"
These two lines, productions Of an able
poets pen, may we'll be our motto in whatev-
er station fortune-that copricious dame
chooses to place US. Go out into the world
mingIe with the busy crowd, study out the
characters of the hundreds and thousands
who daily pass you there, and you will find
that great number of faults are all from a
want of kindness. One half the crimes COM
mtteo might have been prevented by one
kind word. One half the stern, hard, un-
yielding, repulsive natures we meet wth,can
date their birth from one act of unkindness,
one harsh word. Go to the felon's cell, and
ask the conscience tricken, Cain branded
murderer there, why he committed so sick
ening crime. Does not that voice, coming
as it does from living tomb, sound like
warning! He answers, "One kind word, ,one
gentle act, one sympathetic tear would have
saved,me." Go to the lunatc's lonely cell,
and hear him rave of unkind words, of heart
less jeers, of scornful acts. the wonder not
at the almost unearthly ,eloquence of the
maniac's story. o! then speak kindly and
deal gently with all. Try TO drop a kind
word everywhere. Sympathize with every
one. Sympathile with the infant. Kindly
soo.he his infant sorrows, so sweetly lisped
! in your ear SYmpathze with the young,
those who are just starting forth on lifs's
weary journey. One kind word Of yours may
be their guiding star through life, and may
gain for you friend. Sympathize with the
aged. Laugh net at their totteria g foststeps.
Turn not from the grasp Of their pasied hand.
Scorn not the silvered haired sage who seeks
, from the unsonndal depths Of his own exps-
riencc 10 warn you Of some youthful folly
Remember Time deals like with all. You
will, in after years, when your locks are
whtened by the SHOWS OF three score and ten
winters, reap an abundant harvest for every
kind word you have chanced to drop.

Reasons for Risibility.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HoLMEs.

Sweet coz, I'm happy when can,
I'm merry while may
For life's at most narrow span,
Al best wiuter's day.
II care could make the sunbeams wear
A brighter, warmer hue, .....
The evening sky shine out more fair,
The blue sky look more blue ~..
Then l should be graver man;
But since Ills not the way,
Sweet COZ I'm happy when l can,
And merry when may.
Ifsighs could make us sin the less,
Perchance 1were not glad--
If mourning were the sage's dress,
My gsrb should then be sud;
But since the nngel's wings are white,
And e'cn the young saints smilc.--
Since virtue wears brow Of light,
And vice a robe Of suie---
Since laughter is not under ban,
Nor eladness clnd in grey
Sweet coz, I'm happy when can,
And merry when may.
I've seen the bishop dance and reel,
And sinner fast and pray
A knave at the top Of Fortunes wheel,
And good man cast away
Wine, have seen your grave ones quaf,
Might set our fleet ufioat;
But never heard hearty laugh
From out villaips throat;
And never knew mirthiul man
Make sad maiden's dny.--
So coz, I'm happy when Ican,
And merry while may.

Twas twelve o'clock, most notable time
For deeds Of love and deeds oicrlme
For cocks to crow and thieves TO climb,
For dogs to bark and bards 10 rhyme,
For bellies to charm and bells to chime
Fdr,many an occupation
That robes itselfin the mantle Of night
Twas the time when married pc ople fight
About the putting out Of the light,
Involving themselves in a curious plight,
BY the singular operation
Of"falling out" while turning in"
One of The difficulties akin
To matrimoniation.
Twas twelve O'clock, and side by side
Sat the devoted groom and intended bride
In peculiar situation.
Fol even the chairs OF lovers they sny
Will approach in an impcrcepble way
BY the laws ofa proximaon.
Tile lovers were sitting ns--rerbHm sat-
Silc by sid. or closer than that
A closcness nothing could cqual-
An occasional kiss silly snntched-
They talked & talked how well they matched
Bu, were counting their checkers before they were
hatcned'
As is clearly shown in the sequel.
When the "spark" to regular fame arose
And our Yankee at last, was about to propose
Both himself and suit the drama to close--
Twas scene Of moral sublimity-
Then came sudden startling roar
The dogs came rushing in at the door
And not having seen in their lives before
Two persons in close proximity
Except in pusilisic way,
They began to take a part in the fray;
jones' dog seized Jonathan Day,
Beginning an amputation.
And Jonathans dog seized Salie Jones'
Such screams and shrieks snd bideous groans,
Such frantic yells and pluintive moans,
In canine feline, feminine tones,
Wi broken words, and broken bones,
Were neverheard in creation.
Poor Mistress Jones sprang forth in her ire
From the embrace Of Morpheus anl the Sqeire
And with eyes that were flashing female fire
She flew to the conflict, dreadful and dire
Excaiming "a mother has more to try her .
Than mortals ever al!ot ',m'
Blu, TO double her trouble and add to her cares
When pitching her voice at the op--oi the stairs
She pitched herself to the bottom.
A fearful fall and cry of pain.- .......
And Twas plain she d not be inclined again
TO show the farce Of the inclined plane.-
When the Squire came rushing down with his Gaze
Bclaboing all like man insane
Making more bumps than the Fowler's explain
And adding anew to the furry.
Ehe canincs roared like laundering Joye---
And the scene was closed, in time to prove
That suits of clothes and suits of love
May come to an end in hurry.

Maine.

The result Of the election Of last Monday
III Maine may be very briefly described rs i
triumph of the party Of Slavery and Of Rum
made up rs il is Of the congeniul portions of
the late Wing and Democratic parties. We
state this result III so blunt manner ia or
der that the worst may be known. 1t is true
that the Democratic candidate for Governor
everywhere on the stump declared himself to
be hostile to the Nebraska bill, and that the
people were told that the Liquor-Law was the
only issue; but il is equally certain that the
peculiar Fusion now brought into power will
stcadfastly oppose all practical measures 10
rescue Kansas from the clutches of Atchison
and Stringfcllow, and will be found on every
occasion ready 10 give substantial aid and
comfort 70 the Administration Of Mr.. Pierce.
In fact, Ths Union and The Richmond In
qujrer Will celebrate this as substantially an
Administration victory.
That we arc panied ut this result we do
conceal, for We had hoped better things Of
Maine BUTT does not appear that the Re
Publlcans there have been guilty Of any Sc
rous error or OF any culpable neglect
Their vote largely exceeds that they brought
out last year, and their candidate for GOV
ernor leads all the others now rs he did then.
What has now caused their defeat is, in th.
first place the enormous effort made by the
liquor dealers Of New York and Boston to
affect this election; and in the second place.
the fusion between the bunker Wings and
bunker Democrats in the Legislative Dis
tricts. Last year these concenial elements
were still asundcr and the Republicans easily
carried the State. This year the Fusion
proves to have the majority. The result will
he the repeal or essential notification Of the
Liquor Law and the Cling Of all the State
Executive Offices with men Of the new party

cidation or arguments on the present oeea-
sion. All therefore that we would DO Is TO

Henry CLAY.-There is a good deal Of
point III the following paragraph, which we
quote from that excellent paper the Frank
fort (ky.,) Commemorative:
Among the toasts drank at the dinner Civ
en- TO Gov Powell ut Louisville. was one to
Henry Clay, the bold and eloquent advocate
of civil and religious liberty.'' This will do
pretty we'll for company Of the leaders of u
party which by calumny excluded Henry CLAW,
from the Presidency he 40 eminently desery-
ed, and pursued him to the grave with loath-
some SANDERS. We should like to know
whether the old Democratic leaders who
drank that toast, but who a few years ago
were accustomed TO dcnounce Henry Clay rs
the embodiment Of nil iniquities, personal and
political, private and public, regard them
selves as sianderors then or hypocrites now.
SLEErfSo IN MEErlNG.-Ths custom is Of
remote antiquity. We read in history that
when Bishop South was preaching before
Charlcs II and Court, many Of the nonarch's
suite went to sleep, and some of them suored;
vhercupon South addressed himself to Lord
Ltadardalc, ONE Of tho offenders, and said.
'.My Lord, ask pardon for disturbing You,
bat | must tell you that voI snore SO loud
that YOU are in danger Of waking UP his ma
Jestv." This warning woke up every one,
and bani@hed all desire to sleep.
ltg~T The Washington Union, in urging en-
listments into the Democratic ranks. says.
''who viii hesitate when the road is 50
broad. Er.

and says, 'broad is the way that leads 10
