| The Fond du Lac COMMONWEALTH, re.
ferring to the attack of the Appel,on
Crescent upon Mr.. Carrie Sehurz, says:
:, In speaking of the subject the Crescers,
attempts to draw down the wrath Of the
religious community upon Republi,anism
because MI. ,Schurz was the Republican
nominee for Lieutenant Governor last fall;
and lashed his good brethren of Appleton
for voting for an Jnfidel. Probably if
Thomas Jefferson was living, and cafidi-
date, it would discard him for the SAME
reason, if he was not already discarded fot
his snti-Slasery character. Tie founders
Of this government wisely interpreted d
constitutional provision that no Religious
test should ever be made. The man that
would seek to make political capital out Of
the fact that political opponent, or was
not an infidel was or was not Christian, is
just as essentially at war with The Relig-
ious Liberty of this people,Ias the Catholic
who would establish his religion by law,
or the Know Nothing that would taboo a
man for being Catholic. "The religion
that cometh from above" that is in us and
around us, cannot DO propagated either by
the sword, or the enginery of Hunker
balot.box invoked for its aid.

EFFECTS or OLD PERSONS SLEEPING
WITH YouNa.-A habit which is consider
ably prevalent in almost every family, of al
lowing children to sleep with older persons,
has ruined the neftous vivscity and phys
ical energy of many promising child
Those having dear old friends, whose lives
they would like to perpetuate at the sacli-
flee Of their innocent offspring, alone
should encourage this evil; but every pa
rent who loves his Child, and wishes to
preserve to him a sound nervous system,
with which to buffet successfully the
cares, sorrows, aud labors Of life, must see
to it that his nervous vitality is rot all
sorbed by some diseased or aged relative.
Children, compared with adults are cleo
trically in positive condition. The rap
III changes, which are going on in their
little bodies, ahandantly generate and as
extensively work UP vital nervo.electrical
fluids. But when, by contact fer long
nights, with elder and negative persons,
the yitalizing electricity of theif tender Or
CARNATIONS is absorbed, they soon pine,
grow pale, languid and dull, while their
bed companions feel corresponding invig-
Grafton. King David, the Psaln!ist, knew
The effects of this practice; and, when he
became old, got certain young persons to
sleep with him, that his days might be
heightened. Dr.. Hufeland, the German
physiological the frequent longev
ity of school teachers to their daily associ-
alton with young persons.
Invalid mothers often prclong their ex-
lstence by daily contact with tlieir child

lungs and mineral doctors had been pros
trated with incurable consumption. Her in
FAINT occupied the same bed with her al
most day and night. The mother linger-
ed for months on the verge of the grave
her demise being hourly expected. Still
she fingered on, daily disproving the pre-

child, meanwhile. pinned without any ap-
parent disease. Its once fat little cheeks
fell away with singular rapidity, till every
bone in its face was visible. Finally it hail
impaired to the mother its last spark of
vitality, and simultaneously both died. l
saw it recently stated in a newspaper, that
a man in Massachusetts had lived for forty
one days without eating anything, during
which period he had been nourislled alto
gether by a little cold water, and "by the
influences absorbed by him while daily
holding the hand of his ~ife."-[Dr. E: P.
