A Picture of the Future.

Grace Grcenwo cd, in her late lecture
in Chicago, drew the following picture
Of the future:
Back on these troublous times will
our children look in reverence and awe.
The sons Of our brave soldiers will date
their patents Of obility on grnnder
battle fields than Agincourt or Ban
nockburn. Such patents of nobility as
no royal hersld's Office has symbols sufi d.
ciently glorious for. Many a coat Of
arms in these days will have one sleeve
hanging empty.
We may picture to ourselves group
Of noble young lads, some ten years
hence, thus proudly accounting for their
orphanage--an orphsntage which the
country should see to it shall not be
desolate.
Says one, "My father fell beating
back the invaders at Gettysburg"-
says another, "My father fell on Look
out Mountain, fighting among tn
clouds" Says a third, "My father suf'
fered martyrdom in Libby prison.
Says another, "My father went down il
the Cumberland. Yet another, "My
father was rocked into the long sleeI
below the wave, in the iron cradle o
the Monitor" Aud there will be hap
less lads who will listen in mournfu
envy, saying in their secret hearts
"Alas, we have no part nor lot in sue
glOryings-our fathers were rebels."-
And here and there youth, more un
fortunate, who will steal away from hi
comrades and murmur, in the bitterness
of his soul, "Ah, God help mel my faith
er was q Copperheadr'

Oil vs. Hydropathy.

We have on several occasions invi-
ted attention to the ancient practice Of
amounting with oil, and to the fact that
oil makers and oil porters, whose cloth
ing is presumed TO be more or less oily,
are often singularly free from contagi
Gus diseases which sweep off others
An exchange takes up the same subject,
and remarks that in the East ladies,
children are rarely washed with water.
but they are oiled every day. A child's
head can be kept much cleaser If oiled,
than withoutit, and many young peo.
pie with hectic cheeks would probsbly
never know the last days of eonsump-
iion, if their parents would insist on
having their cheeks, back, aud limbs
anointed with sweet oil two or three
times week. The Hebrew physicians
seem to have considered oil as more
tficaciOus than any other remedy
The sick were always unointed with
oil, as TIE most powerful means that

lucky in their new party platform, take
the ground "that the coercion and sub.
jugation Of eleven or N ore sovereign
States was never contemplated as posi-.
bic or auth oriEed by the Constitution"
ELEVEN or more" The word "more"
must here be intended to convey the
idea that Kentucky rightfully belOngs
to JET. Davis; but, conceding him only
eleven sovereign States" this Demo.
cratic doctrine of the sovereign right Of
secession will be apt to make lovely
time between the war and the peace
Democracy at Chicago. But the Ken
tueky Democracy further declare that
we have now "a public debt, the inter.
est upon which can never be met"
declaration which smells strongly of the
JET Davis Democratic remedy; that the
people "must bring this war to a speedy
close" and that "the revocation of all
Unconstitutional edicts and pretended
laws, aud an immediate armistice and a
National Convention for the adjustment
of difficulties, are the only means of
saving our nation from unlimited calam-
ity and ruin" These are the distiu.
gushing features of this new Kentucky
Democratic platform, aud Charles A.
Wickliffe was the ruling spirit of the
State Convention adopting il. But
what can they expect to do with this
man and this platform at Chicago, when
they were defeated in Kentucky last
summer by popular majority of fifty
thousand. Perhaps Vallandigbam, who
on the same platform was defeated by 8
hundred thousand majority in Ohio,
will be able to explain. Were there ev-
or such fools in tho world before ~

EATING MEATIN SUMMER.-The beef
eaters of New York have vecently pun
ished the spectators and "middlemen"
by appesEi ne their sppetites With fish,
vegetables and farinaceous food, in pref
erenee to eating meat. The Sun Of
that city notes another EFFORT made by
the spectators to initiate prices, which
itthinks will be met by Aanking
movement on the part Of consumers,
who will purchase smaller quantity
Many prominent physicians declare
that meat diet at this season is posi-
lively injurious to health, producing
disease and death, whereas few ounces
of meat made into soup with plenty
ofveReta bles, is the wholesome emost diet
any person can subsist upon. We quote;
"Drs. Mott, Draper, Parker, Della
field, Markers and others, who prefer to
give honest opinions, that will prevent
sickness rather than impose upon the
public by false statements, agree on
this. One of our most eminent physi.
clans says that, commencing with May
and ending with September, he restricts
the members Of his family, and all his
pstients, to two ounces each Of animal
food per day, requesting them to us,
freely during the summer months the
vegetable products nature lavishes upor
us so abundantly. He has kept during
twenty years or more, record Of III,
mortality of the families of thoss wht
followed his advice, and estimates tn,

about four times more numerous thar
in the households of those who cur
their desires for animal food during tn
sHmmer months-subsisting entirel
upon farinaceous and vegetable diet"

THE incident contained in the following poem i'n"i'
.atodb by correspondent Of he New Yoik Tribune, III
,l.,or from the battlefield, dated Wilderness May
I, 1851
N ,ngisa uneared for, sufe ring through the night,
with heavenly patience the poor boy had lain;
Under the dreary sha dows, left and right
croaued on tho wounde d, stifened out the 'lain'
What faith sust aimed his lone
Brave heart to make no moan,
Tosspd no cry from that blood-sprinkled SOD
Isa close mystery with him and God
But whom the light came, and the morning de"
Differed around him like golden lake.
Aud every dripping aowS with dsePen'd hue
Looked through its tears for very pity's sake,
He moved his aching head
Upon its rugged bed,
And smiled, as a blue violet, virgin meek,
Laid her pure kiss upon his withered cheek.
At once there eireled In his waking heart
A thousand memories Of distant hom'i
OF how those same blue volets would start
Along his native fields, and some would roam
-... Down his dear humming brook''
To hide in secret nOokS,
And shyly met, in nodding circles swing,
Like Rossips murmurng at belAted Spring.
And then he thought ofthe beloved hands
That W ith his own had plucked the modest flower
The blus-eyed maiden, crowned with golden bands
Who ruled as sovereign Of that sunny hour.
She at whose soft command
HeJoined the mastering band;
She for whose sake he lay so firm and still,
Despite his pangs, nor Questioned then her will.
30, lost in thought, conscious Of the deed,
CulliuE the violets, here and there he erept
slowly--ahl slowly for his wound wonld bleed
And the sweet flowers themselves half smiled hal
Wept,
To bo thus gathered in
BY hands pale and thin,
By fingers trembling as they neatly laid
Stem upon stem, and bound them in = braid.
Tho strangest posey ever fashioned yet
Was clOsped against the bosom Of the lad'
As We, the seekers for the wounded set
His form upon our sb ouldsrs, bowed and sad
Though he but seemed to think
How yiolets nod aud wink
And az We cheerod him, for the path was wild'
He only looked upon his flowers and smiled.

the popular demand for Mr.. Lincoln's
reelection as follows:
"In the FIRST place, he is popular with
the "plain people" who believe him
honest, with the rich people, who be-.
lievc him safe, with soldiers, who be.
lieve him their friend, and with reli-
gious people, who believe him to have
been specially raised up for this crisis;
and, in the second place, because many
of the thieviug and corrupt scoundrels
of the political news, who knew the fac
of his popularity, have eagerly attached
themselves to the car of his success"

gious, the soldiers, and the politicians,
