Marriage Of near Relatives.

The Ohio Legislature has been passing
some laws on this subject; and if one
half is true that has been affirmed in re-
gard to the effect of cousins inter-marry-
ing, it looks as if it were the dnty of pa
rents and guardians to interfere, and aid
Of all state Legislatures to do what can
well be done to prevent so injurious a
custom. 1t is said that in Massachusetts
ont of seventeen families formed by mar
risge of cousins, there were ninety-six
children; and in Ohio, in eight hundred
and seventy-three such families, there
were three thousand nine hundred chill
dren. 1t would thus seem that the aver
age number of children is not diminished
by such inter marriages. But out Of
these ninety-five children, fortyfour were
idiots, twelve scrofulous, and only thirty
seven in tolerable health; while in Ohio,
two thousand four hundred and ninety
out of three thousand nine hundred were
either intellectually or physically defec-
tive. In all families some of the chill
dren will be more or less defective; and
were careful records made, the proper
ton Of perfectly healthy children would
be found smaller than most imagine
But fortyfour idiots out of ninety-five
children is proportion, if true sufficient
to startle any one, and to demand some
vigorous remedy. The records and in
quiries of insane and idiotic asylums
might throw much further light upon
this subject. In one case Of double cous-
ins, nine children-all there were-were
idiots of low grade. Enough, then, may
be demonstrated to make all sensible
cousins abstain from marrying. Famil-
les, like the opening leaves of flower,
are formed not to grow together, but
apart. Friends and guardians, and all
who have the confidence of the young,
ministers and medical attendants, should
bear such facts in mind and exert the full
measure of their intelligence and influence
to prevent such evils.

How Poor Young men may Sue
ceed.

Young man, are you poor, and with
out means Of splurging in life, as Won
launch upon its pillows? is your father
poor, and unable to give you an outfit?
BE not disheartened on account Of all
things. Take earnest hold OF life, and
never regard yourself in any other light
than that Of being destined to high and
noble purpose. Study closely the bent
OF your own mind for labor or a profes-
sion. Whatever you resolve upon, do it
early, follow it steadily and untiringly;
never look back to what you have en-
couniered, but always forv ard to what is
within your grasp. The world owes eve
ry man a comfortable living, and a re-
spectacle living, and respectable posi-
ton in society; means are abundant to
every mans success; and nen have only
to adapt will and action to them.
To repine over a want Of money and
property TO start out in the world with,
aud over the want Of the props Of inhu-
ential relatives, is unmauly. Let young
man strive to create a fortune rather than
seek to inherit one. 1t is an ignoble spir-
1t that leads young man to borrow in .
stead Of bequeathng means. Go forth
into the world, young men, conscious of
your God within you, and his providence
over you, and fight your own way TO dis
tnctiou. to honor and to comfort. Pity
in your utmost soul the young man who
without any change is unable to support
himself, and is whining around and beg
ging the influence OF others, to get him
into employment! Feel, under all circum-
stances, that it is more noble, more hon
orabIe to eat the crust you have earned !,
than to flourish with coppers Inherited
You may lift your head proudly to face
and comfort the noblest among us, when
you are conscious of being the architect of
your own fortune. Young man. are you
poor? Be honest, be virtuous, be indus
trious, hold up your head, say by your
actions and looks, what the poet has said
in words:
81 scorn the man who boasts his birth,
And boasts his titles and his lands; 3
Who takes his name and heritage,
From out fathers dying hands"

The Position Of MIR. Brcckcn.
ridge.

On the 36th ballot, at the Charleton
Convention, the vote Of Arkansas was
cast for John G. Breckenridge. Upon
the announcement of the vote Mr.. Beck,
Of Kenucky, asked that the vote be with
drawn. "On the part of Mr.. Brecken-
ridge he desired to say that it wss not the
wish Of that gentleman that his name
should be used in opposition to the dis
tinguished gentleman now in nomina-
ton" Such is the language Of Mr.. Book
as reported in the official proceedings, and
no further ballot was cast for Mr. Breck-
enridge at Charleston. After the second
secession took place at Baltimore and the
Convention proceeded to ballot for the
President, the friends of Mr. Breckenridge
put him forward against the gentlemen
then in nomination, and voted for him
on all the ballctings. No objection was
made by them to the Platform, the rules,
or the admission of the new delegations
from Alabama or Louisiana, about all
which we hear so much now. Mr.. Breck-
enridge was defeated and Judge Douglas
nominated on Saturday afternoon about
three o'clock, and thereon Mr.. Brecken-
ridge allowed himself to be nominated by
the boilers and disunionists at their night
meeting on Saturday night, at the Hall of
the Maryland Institute, and afterwards
accepted the nomination Of the Richmond
Disunion Convention, and yet this man,
who would not allow himself to be voted
for in the regular Con vention at Charles
ton, against the gentlemen then in nom
ination, did go into tho regular Conven-
ton at Baltimore to compete with them
for the nomination, and being beaten
there, bolted, and is now called by some
the regular nominee Of the Democratic
party. How inconsistent with the facts
and how untrue. John G. Breckenridge
is bolter and nothing Statesman.

speculation, but the human mind will al
ways struggle to account for the lost
tribes, and discovery like this gives vi
tality to this inquisitive principle. 9th
er inscribed stones have been found in the
United States which have excited pro-
found interest, but we believe none like
this ever before appeared. Some years
ago there was stone found at the Grave
Creek Mound, below Wheeling, engraved
with what were pronounced Chaldaic char.
acters, but do not remember the circum =
stances. 1t might be interesting to look
ii up again.
STONE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
In March last, Mr.. Tibbits, of Licking
Co., found a stone musical instrument,
in mound, about seven miles South of
Newark, the material Of which appears al
SO to be novacuiite or lone stone. There
is question about its geological character,
however.
Should it prove to be hone stone 1t will
be important testimoney in sustaining the
genuineness Of the Holy Stone. 1t is a
round stone tube eight inches long, about
an inch and half in diameterat one end
and little more than an inch at the 9TH
er, or mouth. The mouth piece is bevel-
ed like a whistle, and there is little round
orfice near it, precisely like that in q
whistle. But this end seems to have been
enveloped with band. The remainder
OF the tube externally and internally, un-
til it strikes the shoader inside of the
mouth piece, is brightly polished-like
polished marble, The orifce widens grad
ually from the shoulder at the mouth piece
to the big end. 1t was 5ored out, but how?
1t would bother our artizans now days
to do similar job in a similar stone
Was thought to be marble, but DR.. Will
son tested it thoroughly with acid where
it was polished and upon small broken
point, but it gave no indications whatev-
er OF lime. No similar stone, except the
Hebrew keystone, has been found in Ohio,
and the interesting question now to be
solved is whether it is novaculie. Mr.
Tibbits found it four feet below the sur
face of a mound, excavating from the
top. The mound was twenty-five feet
high. He went down to the level and
found several finely preserved craniums
which are now in Dr. Wills on's custody

The True Position.

There is much Misrepresentation prev
alent respecting the true position of the
popular sovereignty democracy of tn,
Union and of the platform upon whicl
Judge Douglas stands as the regular
Democratic candidate As we under.
stand it, the faith of the party and plat
form is that, Congress has no constitu
tional power to prohibit or to protect
slavery in the Territories, as it has none
in the States; but whether it has or has
not the power, is purely a judicial ques-
tion to be determined and settled by the
courts when the question comes before
them in proper shape. 1t is further de-
MED by the national democracy, inclu-
ding many eminent lawyers and pure
judges, that the supreme court has decid-
ed as the republicans and sectionalists
allege; but that if it has been SO decided
it is the duty of every good citizen to
acquiesce in the dicision, until it is re-
versed or superseded in legal and con-
stitutional manner.
There is nothing ambiguous or double
faced in this position. 1t is plain COM
nonsense view of the matter. Mr. Doug
las claims that the great doctrine of pop
ular sovereignty is SUSTAINED by natural
law and the federal constitution.
Popular sovereignty is not new or
original doctrine, but it is as old as the
idea Of a free and Independent or self gov
ernment. 1t was the doctrine of the
Revolution and the founders of the re-
public and the trainers of the Constitution.
1t is the principal of the Cass Nicholson
letter, and was embraced as a cardinal
doctrine of the democratic party in ISIS
1t becomes a leading principal in the
compromise measure of 1850, reported
and carried through by Mr.. Clay and
twelve other pure and distinguished
statesmen of the country and time. 1t
was endorsed by both, the democratic and
whig parties of 1852, and became solid
plank in both platforms, and was clearly
sustained by the campaign of that mem
orable year In 1874, the doctrine was
brought into practical use and application,
by being incorporated into the Kansas
and Nebraska bill, and to the efforts of
iouSlao, ihOIc tIlal any OL'lcl hldH, are
the people indebted for the sustainance
and vindication of the principal. In his
support of the principle he has been con-
sistent, and he certainly has teen indus
trious. The doctrine was still more un-
equivocally endorsed and unanimously
adopted by the whole democratic party,
North and South, through their united
delegates in the Cincinnati convention and
platform Of 1856. The candidates of that
year accepted the doctrine and made it
their own. Their supporters advocated
popular sovereignty upon every stump in
the land, The people sustained the prin-
ciple and elected the candidates of 1886.
The same principle is now before the peo
pie, in 1860, and we will not permit a
doubt in our mind of the honesty and
the people, in again sustain
ing the principle. Let every democrat
do his duty and all will be well. Non
intervention instead of congressional in.
reference, is the only sound policy and
safe solution Of the slavery question:

Not Worth While.

Blue-pilis philosophy, moral reforms!
Let them all alone, friend! you need a
good strong dose of common sense much
more! Don't lament over the things
that 60 wrong in this inexplicable old
world of ours; if you only knew it you
could spend your time much more proht-
ably in rejoicing over the things that go
right. Your face would shorten full
quarter of yard if you could Just draw a
dividing line between the matters that are
not worth while and those that are. Ii is
not worth while to trouble yourself about
the naughty things the world says of you
as long as you know they are false. 1t
is not worth while to fret yourself because
your neighbor is growing rich by dishon-
est gains, while you are starving on an
honest crust. 1t is not worth while to
wear broadcloth when you can scarcely
indulge in homespun. 1t is still less
worth while to ask the worlds advice as
to what you are to eat and how you are
to live. 1t is not worth while to look
for the root of SANDER whose topmost
buds will wither in q brief space of time.
1t is not worth while to mourn over the
absence of things you haven't got, and
don't see any possible chance of getting.
1t is not worth while to cry over spilled
milk, or to think of committing suicide
because you've made an unsuccessful trade.
1t is not worth while to cultivate the
acquaintance of people who like you in
proportion to the length ofyour purse, or
to feel disturbed when they desert you,-
1t is not worth while to live for the bene
fit of your neighbors, instead of the COM
fort of your own family. 1t is not worth
while to surrender your originality and
spirit of independence for fear of being
called, by some ninny who is cut out for
the same pattern with five hundred others,
"a little odd" 1t is not worth while to
make a great show and glitter upon the
high-rode of life, and find out, at the
eleventh hour, that You have neglected to
secure the wherewithal of love and truth
and faith to carry you safely across the
dark river-that is the most fatal mis-
take of ALL
Make little memorandum of these
things, friend, and when the world quar-
rels with you, or you quarrel with the
world, just stop minute, and think
whether it is worth your while to get an
