TAKING CoLD.-A cold" is not neces-
A person may 90 directly from hot bath
into a cold one, or into snow even, and not
take cold. On the contrary, he may take
cold by pouring couple of tablespoonfuls
of water upon some part of his dress, or by
standing in door, or before stove, or sit
ting near a window or other opening, where
one part of the body is colder than another.
Let it be keptin mind that uniformity of
temperature over the whole body is the
first thing TO be looked after. 1t is the un-
equal heat upon different parts of the body
that produces colds, by disturbing the uni
form circulation of the blood, which in turn
induces congestion of some part. If you
must keep partially wet garment on, it
would be as well perhaps to wet the whole
of it uniformity. The feet are a great
source of colds on account OF the variable
temperature they are subjected to. Keep
these always dry and warm, and avoid
draughts of air, hot or cold, wet spots on
the garments, and other direct causes Of
unequal temperature, and keep the system
braced up by plenty Of sleep, and the es-
chewing of debiltating foods and drinks,
and you will be proof against a cold and
its results.-Scientifc american.

ESERcY.-lt is astonishing how much
may be ac omplished in self culture by the
energetic and the persevcring, who are care.
ful to avail themselves Of opportunities. and
use upihe fragments of spare time which
the idle permit TO ran to waste. Thus Fur
guson learned astronomy from the heavens
while wrapped in a sheepskin on the high
land hills thus Stone learned mathematics
while working as journeyman gardener /;
thus Drew studied the highest philosophy
in the intervals of cobhling shoes thus
Miller taught himself geology while work
ing as day laborer in a quarry. BY
bringing their minds to bear upon knowl-
edge IN its various aspects, and carefully
usin. up the very odds and ends of their
time, men such as these, in the very hum
blest circumstances, reached the highest
culture, and acquired ht norablc distinction
among their fellow men. 1, was one Of the
characteristic expression Of Chattcrton, that
God had sent his creatures into the world
with arms long enough to reach anything il
they chose to be at the trouble.

National Republican Convention.

The Republican National Convention as
sembled at Chicago on Wednesday, May
l6, 1860. 1t was held in the Wigwam
built by the Republicans of Chicago for
the campaign. 1t will hold 10000 persons,
and was densely packed long before the
time of meeting.
AT II o'clock, noon the convention was
called to order by Gov. Morgan Of N. Y,
chairman of the national committee, who
after reading the call, addressed the con-
vension, and named Hon. David WiImot of
Pa, as temporary chairman. Mr.. Wilmot
came forward amid great applause, and ad-
dressed the convention. He briefly return
ed thanks for the high and undeserved hon
or. lie would carry the remembrance Of
it with him to the day of his death. 1t
was unnecessary for him to remind the con-
vention Of the high duty devolved upon
them. A great sectional interest had for
years dominated with a high hand over the
affairs of the country. 1t has bent all its
energies TO the extension and naturalization
of slavery. 1t is the mission of the repub-
lican party TO oppose this policy and TO re-
store TO the government the policy Of the
revolutionary fathers to resist the dogma
that slavery exists wherever the constilu-
ton extends; to read the constitution as
our fathers read it--tl,at constitution which
in all the limits of the country. Our fathers
lived and died in the faith that slavery was
a blot and would soon be washed out Had
they deemed that the revolution was to es-
tablish here great slave empire, not one
would have drawn the sword in such a
cause. The battle was fought to establish
freedom. Slavery is sectional, freedom is
national. Applause. He deemed it un-
necessary to remind the delegates Of the
outragcs and usurpations of the democratic
party. Those outrages will not be confined
TO the limits of the slave States il the
South had the power, and the safety of the

The Influence Of knowledge.

The age in which we live is one of pro-
gress. An age in which science and the
arts are marching onward with rapid strides.
Since the commencement Of the Christian
era knowledge has advanced and retrogaed.
1t roamed through the mazy labyrinth of
the darkness and gloom of the middle a. o !;
at last it received the smiles of heaven, and
is now enlightening The earth with its kind
appreciation of mercy, justice, and truth.
The influence of his golden lumnary, as
it revolves in its course, increases every
hour revealing to the human race the
wonders of the universe; pointing out to
each individual the direct path that leads to
happiness and honor.
Man by nature is subjected to depraved
heart; yet, if trained up under the guidance
of pious friends, his evil passions are re-
strained, and as he advances in intellectual
culture, is enabled more wisely in turn to
influence others. He too, can point out
shoals and quicksands of perdition, on
which thousands have been wrecked, for
the want of instruction.
The illterate, untutorel savage of the
forest, bears a striking contrast with an in
dividual enlightened by education. The
one we find rough in his manners the other
graceful and accomplished. The one, with
mind sluggish and dormant as the soil on
which he reclines, the other, with power
of mind, brilliant as the star that shines In
heaven. Then again it natures mans judg-
ment, and gives bin almost unlimited nhu
ence over his fellow men. Washington
Franklin, Adams and others, whose judg.
ment swayed the destiny of nations, gained
their eminence not by genius alone, but by
degrees their intellect became matured
ever pressing forward with untiring perse
verance, until raised far above the common
level; causing millions to abide the decision
of their gigantic minds.
Knowledge elevates the commonwealth
to a higher moral standing. 1t not only
wields the destiny of nations, but tends tc
unbias individual minds from undue preiu
dices. Man must be governed, and if he i;
void of understanding, give him knowledg'
and let that knowledge be sanctified. lie
him imbibe the love of liberty and truth
the world will throw aside her iron shackles
and man will come forth renovated ant
elevated to enjoy that peace so long since
predicted.

JOHN BELL.

On the 9Th and 9th OF July, 1850,
Hon. John Bell delivered speech
in tie United States Senate, on tie
subject Of the agitation Of the Slavery
question, from which We make the
following extracts. The speech is
published in the Congressional Globe
commencing on page llOl, LIST Ses-
sion, 3Ist Congress- We are thus
particular 10 stating where the speech
may be found, because ve are very
sure that mary Of the present sup
poyters Of Mr.. Bell will be disposed
to question the fact that he ever was
a disunionist. We say disuniepiat,
because they are in the habit of IA
ting gentlemen of our party as such
for uttering sentiments not one halt
as strong. We call especial alter
tion to the portion We have empha-
sizsd, and ask if the sentiment does
not come within the range Of all the
present denunciatioDs Of the Demo
cratic party by the Ball orators and
presses:
The question is whether mutual
trust shall continue to animate and
encourage mutual efforts in procuring
and multiplying common benefits; or
whether mutual hatred and distrust
shall step in to check all progress; TO
distract and confound all joint en-
deavors for The common welfare; 10
fne, to entail upon the country all
the evils Of endless discord. That
is the question. End when yoss
present that issue TO ne, I say givs
me separation; give me disumOn; gire
me anything in preference to a Union
sustained only By pcirer, By COnsti-
tattional and lfgat lies, sOithOut reep-
,ocal trust and confidence. If our
future career is to be one Of eternal
discord, of angry crinsnation and re-
elimination, gee me Rather sepora-
ton mith oil its consequences. # 1
