preamble and Resolutions:

WHEREAS, Our Government is now en-
gagged in a struggle for the perpetuation
of every right due to US as American cit
izens, and requires the united efforts of
all good, true and loyal men in its behalf;
and,
WHEREAS, We have beheld with feel
ings of sadness and deep regret, the bit
ter partisan spirit that is becoming dan
gerously vindictive and malicious in our
State, the tendency of which is to para
lyze and frustrate the plans of the FEEDER
al and State authorities in their efforts to
suppress this infamous rebellion; there
fore,
l. RESOLVED, That having pledged our
most cherished earthly interests to the
service of our common country, in this
hour of national peril, we ask our friends
and neighbors at home to lay aside all
petty iealousies and party animosities,
and, as one man, stand by us in uphold
ing the President in his war measures, in
maintaining the authority and the digni-
tyof the Government and in unfu ling

dom.
3. ResoLedg, That we tender Governor
Yates and Adjutant General Fuller our
warmest thanks for their untiring seal in
organizing, arming and equipping the ar
my which Illinois has sent to the field /;
and for their timely attention to the
wants of our sick and wounded soldiers,
and we assure them of steady and warm
support in their efforts to maintain for
Illinois the proud position of pre-eminent
LOYALTY which she now OccuDieS
3. ReSolved, That we watched the trait
orous conduct of those members of the
Legislature of the. States of Illinois, who
misrepresenting their constituencies,
have been proposing. a cessation of
the war, avowedly to arrange
terms of peace, but really to give time
for the nearly exhausted rebels to recov-
er their strength, and plotting to divest
Governor Yates of the rights and author

ton and laws, and to them we calmly
and firmly say;

to Governor Yates, and assuring him of
our cordial support in his efforts to crush

and feelingly in earnest. We have left

A First Rate Morning Bath.

4 great deal Is said about bathing, and
houses are generally preferred for having
baths fixed in them. supplied with hot
water and cold but the smallest bath,
and one in which all may indulge with
out trouble or expense, is that of sponge
or towel bath and if repeated every
morning, summer and winter, is such
renovator of the system that you will
have little occasion either for salt water
bathing or any other kind of bathing,
and may fairly promise your doctor long
holiday, so far as you are eoncerned.-
Just do as we tell you in this article, and
if you do not feel better, throw the blame
upon our advice.
Before going to bed, fill your wash-ba-
sin with water, say two-thirds full then
put into it large soft sponge, or towel, =
Just which is handiest. Provide some
thing TO stand on-either a piece of old
carpet or shallow tin-to keep the floor
from being wet; and also II couple of
coarse, good sized towels. Then all being
ready, Immediately upon rising in the
morning, having thrown off your night
dress, first wet your head, and take the
sponge or towel full of water ond squeeze
it upon your shoulders. the water running
down to your feet. The body thus hav-
ing got a good wetting, you need not, as
some suggest, sponge the body any furth-
or, but take the towel and give yourself a
good rubbing for about one or two min
utes, till the skin begins to react; then
dress as quickly as possible, and, if con-
venient and the weather suitable, short
walk.
Bathing and dressing should not AXE
YOU more than ten minutes. Practice
will render less rubbing sufficient, and
the walk in time may be dispensed with:
This is bath every body should take, and
will be found an infalible source of vigor
and good health, if properly done and fol-
lowed up.

palleyrand and Arnold.

There Eas q day when TalleyTand ar
rived in Havre, ON foot from Paris. 1t
was the darkest night of the French rev.
clinton. Pursued by the bloodhounds of
this reign of terror, Talleyrand secured
passage to the United States in ship
about to sail. He was a beggar and a
Yanderer to strange land, to earn his
daily bread by the sweat of his brow.
aIs there any American staying at your
house2o he asked the Landlord of the
hotel; 81 am going across the water, and
would like letter to a person of intiu-
enee in the New World"
There is gentleman up stairs. either
from America or Britain, but whether
from America or England cannot tell. ="
He pointed the way, and Talleyrand,
who in his life was Bishop, Frince and
Minister, assembled the stairs. A misera-
BE suppliant he stood before the strap-
gers room, knocked and entered. In the
far corner of the dimly-lighted room sat a
man of fifty years of age, his arms folded
and his head bowed upon his breast
From window directly opposite flood
of light poured upon his forhead. His
ewes looked from beneath the downcast
broBs and upon Palleyrand's free with
peculiar searching expression. His form,
vigorous even with the SHOWS of fifty win
tiers, was clad in dark, but rich and dis
tinguished costume. Talleyrand adyanc-
ed, stated that he was a fugitive, and
with the impression that the gentleman
was an American, he solicited his kind
feelings and offices. He poured forth his
history in eloquent French and broken
English.
81 am a wanderer and an exile. / am
forced to fly to the New World, without
friend or home. You are an American.
Give me then, beseech you, letter of
yours, so that may be able to earn my
bread. ] am willing to toll in any man
ner life of labor would be a paradise to
a career of luxury in Francer You will
give me letter to one of your friends
A gentleman like you doubtless has many
friends"
The strange gentleman arose. With a
look that Talleyrand never forgot, he re-
treated toward the door of the next cham
Der, his eyes looking still from his dark
ened bpoY; he spoke as he retreated
backward; his voice was full of meaning:
81 am the only man OF the New World
who can raise his hand to God and say |
have not friend, not one, in America"
Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelm-
ing sadness of the look which accompa-
MED these words.
Who are your" he cried, as the
strange man retreated to the next room ;
''vour name el'
Ny name," he replied, with a smile
that had more of mockery than joy in its
eonvulsive expression-"my name is Ben
edict Arnold"
He was gone. Talleyrand sank in the
chair, gasping the words, "Arnold, the
traitorw
Thus he wandered over the earth, an
other Cain, with the wanderers mark
upon his brow, and his sad fate is likely
to be shared by others of our own day,
who are proving traitors to their native
land.-Home Monthly.

ELOQUENT Illustration.

The following is an extract from
speech delivered in Congress by William
Kelley, of Pennsylvania
1.-The gentleman seems to sigh for the
restoration of the Democratic party. Sir,
can not hear the aspiration uttered
without thinking of scene the traveller
among the Swiss mountains beholds. As
YOU ascend the Righi side to catch view
of the glowing sunset from the Kuhn,
YOU come upon a broad space, stretching
away as far as the eye can reach, appa-
rently for leagues, upon the broken and
barren surface of which no weed or grass
takes root. Your guide or guide-book
tells you that there, near the base OF
that desolate scene, once stood the thirty
ing and happy village of Goldau, with
its mansions, its hamlets, its churches
When the landslide took place, and the
earth, full hundred feet deep over all
that space, was loosed from its bed and
went laundering into the valley, 1t bur
led that beautiful village. Under that
mighty mass its ruins still lie. Goldau
was not of sufficient Importance to
invite such excavations as have been
made in the vicinity of Herculaneumand
Pompeii. But had it been more impor-
tant, the vast weight and depth OF earth
and rock heaped upon its ruins would
preclude the undertaking. The eye OF
man will never behold the ruins of Col
dau. For it there is no resurrection
But, sir, until that buried village shall
again welcome the rising sun, the Demo
cratic party, as ace hare knO'on ii, can never
again exist. Goldau wrought not its own
ruin but the Democratic party, under
its recent leaders, wrought landslide
upon the mountain of time and civiliza-
ton, which the traveller in all ages will
mark with horror, and buried itself un-
der a mass of ruins so deep, so grand, so
awful, that no measure of energy or en-
terprise can revive it, with all its dishon-
esty of action and barbarism of purpose" "
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1863-02-25
Christian Economy.

When Christ miracUlously fed thou,
sands with FIVE loaves, he said to his dis.
ciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, so that nothing be lost" How
strange this command, after such a dis
play of power! They were to fill their
baskets with broken bits of bread, though
he whom they followed could make
enough for thousands by the touch or
the mere volition of his creative energy.
The lesson is manifest. Economy is a
Christian duty We are not to expect
miracles while We can succeed by faith
full use of means; we are to save even
the fragments, because God has made
them.
The lesson is greatly needed in our
day. Such an abundance of good things
of this life has been given us, that care
tempted to extravaganza. We do not
save the fragments; and hence we have
nothing, or but little, to give to the cause
Of Christ, when what we call thard times
come. Even now, what the Christians of
this land waste would sustain all our mis-
sionary enterprises We make this as
sertion deliberately, and believe little
reflection will convince every reader of
its truth.
Economy is not niggardly and mean
1t is consistent with liberality. All de-
pends upon the motives for which we
save. If we gather up the fragments to
hoard them until they moulded on our
hands, then we are misers-that is mean
and miserable. BVt il we gather them
up to give TO the poor, or live on, that
we may have means to aid in advancing
Christ's cause, then our economy is as no
bic as was the conduct of those disciples
who filled their baskets with bread in
obedience to the command, and beneath
the eye of the Lord Of life and glory.
God is rebuking the extravaganza of
