Interesting to Everybody.

Physiological research has fully estab-
lished the fact that acids promote the sep
aration of the bile from the blood, which
is then passed from the system, thus pre-
venting fevers, the prevailing disease of
summer. All fevers are "billious," that
is, the bile is in the blood. Whatever is
autagonistic to fever, is "cooling." 1t is
a common saying that fruits are cooling,
and also berries ofevery description it is
because the acidity which they contain,
aids in separating the bile from the blood;
that is, aids in purifying the blood. Hence,
the great yearning for greens, lettuce, and
salads in the early spring, these being ca.
ten with vinegar; hence also the taste Cor
something sour, like lemonade, in an at
tack Of fever. But, this being the case, it
it is easy to see that We nullify the good
effects Of fruits and berries, in proportion
as We eat them with sugar, or even sweet
milk or cream. If we eat them in their
natural state, fresh, ripe, perfect, it is al
most impossible to eat too many, or eat
enoug h to hurt US, especially if We eat
them alone, not taking any liquid With
them whatever. Hence, also, is buttermilk,
or even common sour milk, promotive Of
health in summer time. Sweet milk tends
to billiousness in sedeutary people; sour
milk is ansagonistic. The Greeks and
Turks are passiOnatsly fond of sour milk.
The shepherds use rennet, and tbesuilk-
dealers alum, to make it sour the sooner.
Buttermilk acts like watermelons on tie
system. -EaWs JoaiaGl Of Hsa':k.

APLEAsANT INcIDENr.-Sitting in oul
sanctum, (says Western editor,) some
years past, on cold, clustering Autumn
day, we were attracted by the entrance Of
a bright-eyed, thoughtful little boy, but
tbinly clad, who told the story of "nO
father-family sick-out Of ofemployment," F"
&c. We were disposed to express mock
sympathy, aud say we could do nothing ;
but the boys eyes were so swimming with
tears, and he SO trembling from head to
foot, while his conduct and demeanor bore
such an impress Of truthfuluess and sim
cerity, that We could not fiud it in our
heart to speak harshly, and finally dis
missed him with handsome little sum,
contributed in main by the printers.
The next evening, We were somewhat
surprised to find the boy hanging difident.
ly about our Office door. This time, how.
ever, his eyes we're bright with happiness,
and sweet smile played over and lit up
his features. We asked him to come in,
but he merely stepped forward timidly, so
as to catch our ear, and earnestly, though
stutteringly, whispered, "lKamma prayed
for you las. niyhs," and then disappeared
as noiselessly as he came.
Thank God! thought we, for that moth.
er's prayer. And though years have
passed since then-though We have bus
tied through noisy incidents, and mingled
in life's struggles, as we all are forced to
do-a remembrance, "Mamma prayed for
you," still sounds as grateful and as sweet
as when it first fell from the lips of that
innocent boy.

REAsoNABLE.-TheS Seneca Falls Cou-
rier makes the following appeal to those
of our Democratic friends who are SO sad
over the disappointment Of the illustrious
son of New York:
"The Democrats feel very bad about the
defeat of Seward at Chicago. They mourn
him as the great Statesman, the high
minded and noble Republican, whom they
wanted to rule over them for the next four
years. We sympathiso with them in their
affiiction. Our love for him is not bound
ed, however, by this year alone; the future
is full of promise, and bright with hope.
The only way ever to make Seward, Pres
ideut, is to elect Lincoln, now. Come,
Democrats! come help US elect Lincoln
this time, and in '64 we will give you
Seward"

Methodist Episcopal Conference.

This body which bad been in session al
most month at Buffalo, N. Y adjourn
ed sine die on Monday evening week.
Philadelphia was chosen as the next place
for General Conference. On Saturday,
the Conference finally agreed that the mat
ter Of Lay Delegation should 60 back to
the annual and quarterly Conferences, for
them to ascertain if the laity really desired
it. Bishop Simpson gave an interesting
account of bis embassy in Europe, showing
the position he took before the British
Conference on the subject Of Slavery. A
resolution was adopted, unanimously,
heartily approving the course of Bishop
Simpson and DR.. M'Clintock in Europe.
The second week in January was fixed up
on as a season of prayer for the conversion
of the world. DR.. Durbin then read the
pastoral address for 1860, which Was
adopted.
On Friday, the 1st inst, Granville
Moody moved the previous question, which,
amid great sensation, was largely sustain
ed. The vote on the new chapter was
taken, and it was adopted by the very de-
cisive vote of yeas l54, nays 81.
THE NEW CHATTER.
3. Resolred, By the Delegates Of the
several Annual Conferences in General
Conference assembled, that the following
be, and hereby is,.substi;uted in the place
of the present Seventh Chapter on Slavery.
QuEsrIoN-What shall be done for the
extlrpation of the eyi! of Slavery!
ANswER-We declare that We are as
much as ever convinced Of the great evil
of Slavery. We believe that the buying,
selling or holding Of human beings, to be
used as chattels, is inconsistent with the
Golden Rule, and with that Rule in our
Discipline which requires all who desire TO
among u.s. l'do no harm, and to
avoid evil of every kind" We, therefore,
affectionately admonish all our preachers
and people to keep themselves pure from
This great evil, and to seek its eItirpation
by all lawful and Christian means.
As the Constitution, however, requires
! two.thirds vote for an amendment OF tho
Discipline, and this lacked ten votes OF
hat proportion, no change is wrought IN
he Discipline, but the vote upon the sub
ect shows progress in the right direction.

An AWfully Romantic Incident.


About 99S, Errick RanJe, an Ieelan-
die chief, fitted out an expedition Of TWEEN.
ty-fve ga!leys at Senteli, and having man
ned them with sufficient crews Of colonists,
set forth from Iceland to what appeared q
more congenial climate. They sailed up
on the ocean fifteen days, aud they saw no
land. The next day brought with it .
storm, and many gallant vessel sunk in
the deep. Mountains of ice covered the
water SO far as the eye could reach, aud
but few galleys escaped destruction. The
morning of the seventeenth day was clear
aud clOudless; the sea was calm, aud far
away to the northward could be seen the
glare Of iee-felds reflected on the sky.
The remains Of the scattered feet gathered
together to pursue their voyage, but the
/ galley of Eande was not there. The crew
Of galley which was driven further down
than the rest, reported that, as the morn
/ ing broke, the large fields Of ice that had
covered the ocean were driven by the cur
rent past them, and that they beheld the
galley Of Rande borne before a tremen-
dous field Of ice-her crew had lost all
control over her-they were tossing their
arms in wild agony. Scarcely a moment
had elapsed before it was walled in by .
hundred e-hills, and the whole mass mo-
we'd forward and was soon beyond the hor.
rizon. That the galley of the narrator
escaped, was wonderful-it remained,
however, uncontradic.ed, and the vessel Of
Errirk Rande was no more seen.
Half a century after that, . Danish col.
ony was established on the western coast
of Greenland. The crew of the vessel
which carried the cOlouis,s tbither, in
their excursion into the interior, crossed .
range Of bills that stretched to the north
ward they had approached nearer to the
pole than any preceding adventurer. Up
on looking down from the summit of the
hills, they beheld a vast aud interminable
field of ice, undulating in various places,
and formed into thousand grotesqus
shapes. They saw, not far from the shore,
the figure Of vessel, with gli;tering ici-
cles instead of masts rising from it. Gu
riosity prompted them to approach, and
they baheld dismal sight. Figures Of
men, in every attitude of woe, were upon
the deck, bu. they we're icy things, then;
one figure alone stood erect, and with fol-
ded arms, leaning against the mast. A
Ratchet was procured, and the ice split
away, and the features of chieftain dis.
closed, pallid, deathly, and free from decay.
This was, doubtless, the vessel, and that
the figure and form, of Errick Raude.
Benumbed with cold, and in the agony of
despair, his crew had fallen around him.
The spray Of the ocean and the fogs bad
frozen, as it lighted upon them, and GOV.
cred each figure with an icy robe, which
the short-lived glance of Greenland sun
had not time to remove. The Danes gazed
upon the spectacle with trembling. They
knelt down upon the deck and muttered q
prayer in their native tongue for the souls
of the frozen crew, then burriedly left the
place, for nig ght was approaching.-lMr. E.
in the Portsmouth Journal.
