NIGHT ASSOCIATION.

What q reflection it is upon the in.
tellIgcncc OF young persons of this
day, that two or three hours of an
evening cannot be spent by them in
interesting, instructive conversation,
without the accompaniment of gaming
or dancing! How soon do our young
people yawn and tire without the cX-
citcmcnt of something either profitless
or pcrnicious ? Hence young men
are apt to seek the association Of each
other after nightfall, unless they are
drawn into female society by the
temptation Of ball or party-and
these are too often the sewers Of seed
that produces a crop of evil The
young man that seeks pleasure in his
books or in the company of intelligent,
pure women, both married and single,
after night, with one or two associ-
atcs of the same temper, will never
have cause to repeat it. When the
proper hour for retirement arrives, he
leaves for his home always greatly
improved. But how different the iu.
suit when spent either in the scenes
of mirth, or with his own sex in the
usual way.
Take the case Of a sober discreet
young man who comes to town to
pursue the study of the law or mcdi-
cine. He has never yet soilcd his
conscience by indulgences which pro-
priety and strict morality forbids. He
is soon thrown into what is called the
I" best society," who very soon are
ready to express their surprise, if not
contempt, that young man of his
parts cannot join them in glass of
wine or an innocent game, to while
away an hour At first he is chagrin-
ed and disgustcd, but by little and lit
tie begins to question the manliness Of
his former course, and the fear of be-
ing cut draws him into the whirlpool
of dissipation and ruin. And all be-
cause he must spend his evenings out.
Look ut the untutorcd, unsuspect.
ing youth wien he enters the store or
counting-room as clerk. So long as
business restraints him from improper
nocturnal associations until wearied
nature forces him to bed, he is safe
but 50 soon as the pressure of trade
is over and his evenings are under
his control, he begins by little to ven
ture into company, and to seek the
society Of his fellows. Soon the count
inG-room or the bed chamber is filed
with fast young men. Champagne
and oysters are ordered, cards are
brought out, and the sequel is soon
told
The same is true of young mechan-
les. And all this ruin, loss of charac-
ter, frequent and consequent worth
lcssncSs, is brought upon young men
by their unfortunate night assodatiOns,
which if avoided, they might have
preserved their virtue and integrity
during life. Let the young beware Of
late hours-bad associations and the
temptation to drink.

KINDNESS TO THE SICK.

4 great deal too much against tea
is said by wise people, and a great
deal too much of tea is given to the
sick by foolish people. When you
see the natural and almost universal
craving in English sick for their
tea" you cannot but feel that nature
knows what she is about. But little
tea or coffee restores them quite as
much as a great deal, and especially
of coffee, it impairs the little power Of
digestion they have. Yet the nurse,
because she sees how one or two cups
of tea or coffee restores her patient,
thinks that three or four will do twice
rs much. This is not the case at all;
it is, however, certain that there is
nothing yet discovered which is a
substitute to the English patient for
his cup Of tea he can take it when
he can take nothing else, and he often
Cannot take anything else if he has it
| not.
should be very glad if any of tho
abusers of tea would point out what
to give to an English patient after a
sleepless night, instead of tea. lfyou
give it at five or six in the morning,
he may fall asleep after it, and get,
perhaps, his only two or three hours.
sleep out of the twenty-four. You
never should give tea or coffee to the
sick, as rule, after O'Clock, p. NJ.
Slecplessncss in the early part of the
night is from excitement generally,
and is increased by tea or coffee:
slccplcssness which continues to the
early morning is from exhaustion
often, and is relieved by tea. The
only English patients i have ever
known TO refuse tea have been typhus
cases, and the first sign Of their get
ting better was their craving again
for tea. In general the dry and dirty
tongue always prefers tea to coffee,
and will quite decline milk, unless
with tea.
Coffee is better restorative than
tea, but greater impairer of the di-
gestion. Let the patients taste de-
eide. Lehman, quoted by Dr. Chris
tison, says that among the well and
active, the infusion of an ounce of
roasted coffee daily will diminish the
waste going on in the body, "by one
fourth" and DR.. Christison adds that
tea had the same property. All ex-
pcriencc among the sick shows the
same thing. Cocoa is often recon-
mcndcd in lieu of tea or coffee. But
independently Of the fact that English
sick very generally dislike cocoa, it
has quite different effect from tea or
coffee. 1t is an oily, starchy nut,
having no restorative powers at all
but simply increasing fat. 1t is pure
mockery of the sick, therefore, to call
it substitute. For any renovating
stimulus it has, you might just as

TERRITORIAL POLICY.
SPEECH OF
Hon. VIM. Vandever.
OF IOWA,
In TIE HORSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
t,yJ ~ 1870

-ipH -, 1860.
The House being in Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union
Mn. NANrEvER said
Mr.. Chairman | will cndcavOr to
be as brief as circumstances will
seem to warrant in the few remarks
propose to submit on the present Occa
sion. The President, in his recent
message to this House, takes the OPP
portuEity to dcplorc the existence of
certain evils. With II partiaIity to-
wards the party which has elevated
him to the distinguished position he
now occupies, partiallty which !
will not say is commcndablc in him,
but certainly cxcusable, he entirely
cXoneratcs that party from all rcspon-
sibility for those evils. propose to
direct attention particularity to that
point, and to ascertain, if may, 10y II
cursory review of this subject, where
really the responsibility does rest.
In order to prosecute this inquiry it
will become necessary to examine the
organization and purposes of the So
called Democratic party. The Demo
cratic party Of to-day prcdicates its
organization upon platform. That
platform Processes to cmbody and
cnunciate the fundamental articles of
their political creed. Their present
platform is professcdly founded upon
the legislation of 1854. 1t is a plat
form consisting Of certain essential
and non-csscntial propositions and
in this discussion it becomes important
t. inquire what are the essential and
what the non-cssential propositions.
In addressing myself to an inquiry of
this kind, do not mean to offer simp-
ly the surmises of my imagination,
nor yet the conclusions of my own
Judgment will take the cxposi.
tions of the Democratic platform, as
acknowledged by it's leaders and il.
lustrated by its practice.
At this point, sir, | call attention to
the significant language employed by
a distinguished Senator, (Mr. Doug
las, in the other end of the Capitol,
during the last session. He said :
Il do not expect any presidential
candidate to agree with me in all
things. do not say that will not
support man for President who
goes for protective tariffs and specific
duties. | do not say that will not
support man who goes for a bank
rupt law. | do not say that | will
not vote for man who, in my opinion
has violated some cardinal principl,
of the party. may be compelled, as
choice Of evils, to support such q
man"
And again, in the same speech, tho
same distinguished Senator uses the
following language:
81 have shown you, sir, that by th,
Kansas Nebraska act and the Cincin
natl platform non-intervcntion witt
slavery in the Territories by Congress
f was declared to be fundamental priu
ciple of the party, and now am as
