To think that the more a man eats the
fatter and stonger he will become.
To believe that the more hours children
study, the faster they learn.
To imagine every hour taken from sleep
is an hour gained.
To act on the presumption that the
Smallest room Ia tie house is large enough
to sleep in.
To argue whatever remedy causes one
to feel Immediately better, is ''good for"
the system, without regard to more uls
terror effects
To commit an act which is felt IN itself
to be prejudicial, hoping that somehow
or other it may be done in your case with
impunity.
To advise another to take a remedy
which you have tried, or without making
special inquiry whether all the conditions
are alike.
To eat without an appetite, or continue
10 eat after it has been satisfied, merely
to CRAFTY the taste.
TO eat hearty supper for the pleasure
experienced during the brief time it is
passing down the throat, at the expense
of a whole night of disturbed sleep, and
a weary waking in the morning,

INAUGURATION or PRESIDENT Lin
CoLN.-Gen. Scott says in his autobiogJ
raphy: The Inauguration of President
Lincoln, was, perhaps the most critical
and hazardous event with which | havs
ever been connected. la the preceding
two months I received more thai fifty
letters, many from points distant from
each other-dissuading me from beihg
present at the event, and others distinctly
threatening assassination If dared to pro.
tect the ceremony by a military force
The election having beef entirely fegulaf
| resolved that tie Constitution should
not be overturned by violence if could
possibly prevent it, Accordingly caused
to be organized the elite Of the Washing-
ton volunteers, and called from distance
two batteries of horse artillery, with small
detaehments cf cavalry and infautry, all
regulars. In concert with Congressional
COMMITTEES Of arrangement tie Presi:
dent vas escorted to aud from the Capitol
By yolunteors-the regulars with ShOui
marched, fanking the movemchts id
parallel streetS-Only claimed the place
Immediately IN front of the President foe
the fine combanies of sappers aud miners
under Capt. Duane Of the Engineers-
To this choice body of men it was only
necessary to say The honor of our coun-
try is il your hands. "With a vieR to

Not Inclined to Kiss the Rod.

A southern officer writes humorously to the
Mobile Register in reply to the accusation of a
northern newspaper that the southern people
still praise their own generals and neglect to
praise those who have saved the republic
He thinks the Yankees must have queer ideas
about southern human nature if they expect
anything different, and says: IN
d 'iNor do sing p@ans to the Union generals
for saving the republic, for at the time the
thing was done it struck me they saved the
wrong one. 1t may be that | ought to feel
grateful to the generals who thrashed me and
all my friends within an inch of ourlives, but,
in the language of Mr.. A. Ward, 4 don't see
it in those lamps. We all admire the artistic
beauty of the style in which the Union gener-
ais put us through; we make no attempt to
suppress Or disguise the fact that the thing
was done handsomely in point of skill but to
denounce us as set of ungrateful sons of guns
because we don't expend our ink and eloquence
in constantly saying So would be called in
some countries premeditated attempt to add
insult to injury"

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Widow of the Poet Moore.
1Fron the London Times Sent &

On September 4th, at Superior Cottage
Mrs. Moore, widow of the late Thoms Moore,
ESQ, author of "Lalla Rookh," aged g. This
is an announcement that one of the last roses
of glorious summer has at length disappear
ed Few are now left of the brilliant company
who adorned the early part of the 10Th CEN
fury, and whose name was famous in our lit
erature. Among these names none is or will
be held in more kindly remembrance than
that of the lady to whom the poet Moore gave
his heart Moore not only loved her-he was
proud of her. and it is delightful to see in his
letters and in his diaries with what eargerness
he sounded her praises. He writes to his moth
er in 1913.
''You cannot imagine what sensation
Bessy excited at the ball the other night She
was pretty dressed, and certainly looked very
beautiful. | never saw so much admiration
excited 1t strikes almost every one that sees
her how like the form and expressions of her
face are to Catalani'sp
And so through all his letters and journals,
he is never tired Of referring to her-quoting
what she said, telling what she did, describing
how she looked, and recording how she was
admired. He married her in 1911, and her
history is summed up in this one phrase-that
she was the delight Of his life. She does not
appear to occupy great place in his poetry;
but it is one of the curious traits of many a
poet that he is excited to sing less by the
great mistress of his heart than by some ina
ginary heroine, orby some beauty that kindles
a passing fame Mrs. Moore was not a Les
bia, nor a Beatrice, nor a Laura, nor High
land Mary destined in song to live forever:
but as much as any Of these, if not more, she
was poets idol 81
She died at 3 o'clock on the morning OF
Monday last She was sensible to the end; she
knew that she was dying; and she said that
she was quite happy, She was the last that
remained to us of the Moore family.

Jeremiah Townsend, charged with embez-
cling 100000 of the funds of the New Ha-
ven Bank, and arrested in Europe by detec-
tive, was arraigned at the Superior Court, at
New Haven, on Tuesday, and pleaded guilty
His counsel appealed earnestly to the Judge to
make his sentencelight. The States Attorney
replied, holding that the accused performed
deliberately, and his position and intelligence
was an argument against clemency. The
Judge said he could not give the prisoner the
shortest term prescribed by law, as his crime
had been too great, and then sentenced him to
the State prison for seven years. s.
