For PARENTS TO READ-How TO HAVE
WEAKLY CHILDRES.-The following extract
is from "Scenes in the practice of New
York Surgeon" and il followed, according
to directions, We think there will not be the
least doubt but what nine out of every ten
will die before they have seen a dozen
years:
1. Wrap them up in an abundance Of
flannel and other warm clothing. Make
their clothes fit neatly, and draw them tight
about the shoulders, chest and waist.
2. Keep them in doors as much as pos
sible. Never allow them to run out and
romp about in the open air, as this would
promote digestion and excite more health
full circulation of the blood, and thereby
tend to defeat the object
8. Allow them to eat anything they
want except corn bread, bacon and beans
and every similar article of coarse food
Always keep supply of sweetmeats and
all sorts Of nick nacks on hand, and never
let them be without something to eat more
than half au hour If they do not incline
to eat so sften, encourage them to do SO BY
offering them something else.
4. Never wash them in cold water.
5. Put them to sleep in warm feather
beds-no matter how many together-tbe
more the better. Cover them up with
warm blankets and quilts, and close all the
doors and windows, both winter and sum
mer.
8. As they will exhibit frequent signs ol
illness, give them dose of Termifuge and
encourage them to eat
7. When your daughters have attained
the age of FIVE or six, it is time TO apply
the whalrbone, starch, DC, so as to com
press the lungs into the smallest possible
compass, and an additional skirt or two
should be suspended from the waist.
By the strict observance of these and
other similar rules, which will naturally sug-
gest themselves, your children will speedi-
ly become dyspeptic; their teeth will decay
and fall out, and you will have the salts

WEAR YoUR BEARDs.-The following
paragraph is strong argument in favor of
men wearing their boards at least upon
their glands and throat:

GERS of the North Star. Arctic ship, now in
Sheerness, have suffered the privation of
two winters, of six months each, total dark
ness, with the thermometer 56 deg below
the freezing point. They have been with
out single human being to associate with,
except their own little company for aperiod
oftwo years and half During the whole
period the officers and crew ceased to use
razor, merely scissors-euttiDg and trim
ming their faces and heads-and :here has
not been one solitary case of liberated or
sore throat among them. Until within a
week, the razor was only known by name
in the ship, and strange to say, Immediately
after the faces lost their warm clothing,
several found that the cold took effect on
their throats. Not single man or officer

CaugI,t i'm his own TraD.

Some days ago the Cincinnati Enquirer,
a second time asked Hon. T. c. DAY to re-
sign his seat in Congress, alleging as rea-
son that his constituents had repuGiated
him. He replied through the Commercial
as folows:-
Some weeks ago l made my friends of
the Enquirer a proposition in reply to a
suggestion of theirs that should resign,
which was not accepted. In the Saturday
issue of that paper, it is again suggested
that my constituents have repudiated me,
in the recent election, and that it is proper
that l should resign. To settle this matter
finally and put it on firm basis, l renew
my former proposition with slight amend
ment If Gen. George E. Pugh, the "Na-
tional" Nebraska Administration Senator
elect from Ohio now that he has been re-
pudiated by his constituents will resign, and
be candidate before the incoming Legis-
Iature for his present position, l will also
resign and appeal to my constituents, for
another expression of their will on the Ne
braska question. Whatever may be the
facts in my case, he has been twice clearly
repudiated by his constituents, and in ac-
ccrdance with the views of the Equuirer,
should not hesitate to accept the above
proposition. Yours, truly.
Tim c. DAY.

work for the legislature.

The papers of Ohio are beginning to dis
cuss tie measures of reform that will prob
ablT come before the Legislature of Ohio for
its action at the approaching session. We
clip the following from the Greenville Ozark
county, Journal After referring to the
national questions passed upon by the peO-
pie, the Journal adds: ---lT
But there are other questions which have
been decided by the people Of Ohio, OF
which the Republican majority in the next
Legislature must not be unmindful. The
issue of State Reform was powerful ele
ment in the late canvass. The people are
tar ridden and they are tired Of it. Relief
was promised in this respect and it must
not be withheld. Official sinecures must
be abolished-the fashion of awarding fat
contracts to political faverites-which has
well nigh put our Public Works upon the
township" be abandoned at once,
and rigid economy characterize the admin
istration of the Board of Public " orks-
The system of raising the public Revenues
should be changed, so that men shall pay
taxes upon what they o1OH and not upon
what they owe. Our banks have been
tared out of existence, ana the circulating
medium os the State is composed almost
erclusirely of the paper of foreign banks
This error should be corrected as speedily
as possible, and cur currency furnished by
banks under our own control.
These are some of the measures Of re.
form, which the people asked for, and which
they look to the Republican majority in the
L sgislature to accomplish, and that speed
lily. Shall they be disappointed? Gen
tlemen of the Senate and House of Repre-.
resentatives," il is for you to answer.
There are several other measures which
the people of Ohio have not asked for
and We trust our Legislators will not waste
their time upon them, and neglect the re-
forms referred to above. They have mol
asked for the passage of the Maine Law, OF
any thing akin to it. They have not de-
maDded the enactment of the personal lib
erty'' law Of Massachusetts,. in Ohio--and
after the reforms hinted at above have been
accomplished, if nothing better should sug.
gest itself upon which to expend the time
of the Legislature, an adjournment would
be decidedly more popular than any thing
else. at all likely TO be done. Let us have
session Of our Legislature, notorious uoi
for talk. bat for aOork Do what has been
promised. and whatever else you can thinl
of that is good. and then adjourn. DOM
imagine you we're elected to legislate fol
the United States, and spend your time and
your breath in telling Congress what to dc
and what not to do. Look after the inter.
esis Of the people of 0hio-it is they who
elected you, and they who pay you for youl
services. The twenty one Republicans who
represent us at Washington have The ability
and the back bone to attend to our National
affairs Do y0u look after Ohio interests
at Columbus, and there is glorious future
for the Republican party.
There is a world Of truth in the above
and it finds an affirmative response from the
lips of the Republicans of the State.

Autumn Leaves.

Alone with my inauguration, strive 10

inth, but aIas wander on, becoming more
and more involved in mystery, until at last
submit, but altogether unwilling TO my
fate; for I love to wander among these
beauties, and find happiness 10 them,
vainly sought after anywhere else but here.
How dearly do l love 10 wander in this
dense woody forest and listen to the low
mournful music of the leaves, as they cling
shivering to the no# cold and lifeltsi stem.
When / see SO many blighted, withered
forms scattered by the autumn blast; when
I hear the deep sorowful sigh, as though
proceeding from a grief burthened heart
that is struggling With the conflict that op
presses its peace, it reminds me Of the con.
dition of many of Gods creatures; how
they struggle with sorrow; how unwilingly
do many yield themselves TO the cold mes
sage of death, although for long years they
hare suffered from keen sorrow or bitter
disappointment; yet it is with sigh of re
iuctance that they give up the world will
all its hollowness. -..
Thus the autumn leaves are blown rude
" by the cold blast; and forced to pass from
all that had once been thought beautiful
Do ;hey ever think Of those bright summer
days they spent dancing in the golden sun
light, or when they were kissed by the dia
nond dew-drcps, or when they wa:chcC
themselves reflected in the crystal stream
that meandered beneath their. shade; Dc

But GO, blighted leaves and know thai

and while the wintry blast sweeps over your
wasted forms, l will learn that Ike the au,

The election passed of peacesbly. No per-
sons were allowed to vote who had not been
residents of the city or town 80 days.
The freesOiers are getting up documents
wherewilh TO contest Wnitfeld's seat in

that there were only legal voters at Frank
lin, and that Whitfield received 6l votes ;
that out of 200 votes cast for Whitfield in
Wyandot only 80 were legal; that out of
230 cast at Osawatomie, not over so were
legal; that at Baptist Mission, which gave
Whitfield over 100 votes, there were but
II legal voters and only Is of them cas-:

cast for Whitfield throughout the whole

choice of Whitfield. it will be for the next

of the two is the real Representative of the

the subject under consideration, beg leave
to submit the following:

er impressed with the deep and nutteraJlt
wrongfulness of Slavery.
2. ReSolveG, That we cannot resist the
