The Oxygen is breathed directly into the Lungs
and through them carried into the Blood; thus as
the Blood will carry it, 1t reaches all parts Of
the system, decomposing the impure matter in the
blood, and expelling it through the pores.
Coughs, Colds, and Lung Affections, as well as
Humors of the Blood are caused by breathing i'm
pure air; impure air is caused from its lack of oxy-
gen. In some portions Of California, where the air is
thoroughly impregnated with Oxygen, Lung Affec-
tions are unknown, and Humors-unless heredit-
ary-are never seen. --.--
This goes to show that nearly all the aings ofour
nature are caused from a lack Of oxygen in the air
wo breathe.

Virginia Unionists and the Septem-
her Convention,

The loyalists of Virginia treat the call for a
Convention in Philadelphia in August with con-
tempt, while the September Convention has their
cordial appreciation. The Alexander Journal of
Saturday says.
We are authorized to announce that the Union
State Committee Of Virginia has taken the neces-
sary official action for sending delegates to the
Convention of Southern Loyasts, to meet in
Philadelphia on the first Monday OF September
next.
The Committee is now engaged making up the
list, which we hope TO have the pleasure of an
nouncing to the public early next week. The
gentlemen named as delegates will each receive
special notice of appointment by mail.
Let every Unionist of the State remember that
upon the issue Of the fall elections North depends
not only civil liberty for himselfb but home, conn
try, social respectability and future security for
his children. Ifany are disposed to idle the
long summer away, let such think ofthe tiresome
marches and bloody graves of those who fought
and died for their country. If any are disposed
to conciliate the disunion blood hounds, whose
fangs are yet dripping with human gore, letsuch
remember the fate of those who have gone before
them. In our business, in our families in our
relations as peaceful citizens-aye, even within
the sacred protection of the church itsef, we all
know how the madness and cruelty and intol-
erance of sectional diSunion RACES. We must ar
rest this criminal and reasonable spirit. We can
only do it by and through national authority
Let every loyal man remember therefore, that
his first civil and social duty is to throw his voice
and influence and example into the fall elections
North, as the essential preliminary step in the
grand work Of reform which is before u.s. Eve
~ citizen appointed by the State Committee
should serve Let us send strong delegation
to Philadelphia. All that is dear TO US as pa
triots and men depend on the great issue now

The Two Miners.

Two men were working together In o mine,
and having prepared to blast the rock, and
laid the train, the latter became by accident
ignited> In few moments tremendous
explosion they knew was inevitable, and
the rock must be rent in a thousand pieces.
On perceivng their danger, they both
leaped into the bucket, and called to the
man on the surface to draw them up. He
endeavored 10 do so, but his arm was found
too feeble to raise the bucket while both
the men were init. What was to be done
the burning fuse, which could not be eXtin
guished, was now within few feet of the
powder; moment or two, and the explo-
sion must take place. At this awful crisis,
one of the men addressing the other, said,
f" You shall live, and l will die for you
are an impenitent sinner, and If you now
die your soul will be lost but if die,
l know that, by the grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ, shall be taken to himself"
And SO saying, without waiting for a reply
he leaped out of the bucket, and prayerfully
waited the result. On the other reaching
the surface, he bent over the shaft to ascer-
tain the fate Of his companion. AT that
moment terrific explosion was heard a
portion of the rock was thrown up and
smote him on the forehead, leaving an in
delible mark to remind him Of his danger
and deliverance. But the man of God
when they came to search for him, was
found arched over by the fragments of bro
ken rocks in the mine, uninjured, and re-
joicing in the Lord This magnanimous
miner exhibited in this act an amount of
disinterested love and charity which has
seldom been equalled, and is never found
but in connection with the love Of Christ
Here is none of that unholy daring ofwhich
we have instances among the heroes of
Greece and Rome, who, actuated solely by
love of notoriety, inflicted upon them
selves tortures, and even death but that
pure Christian character, which at all haz-
ards, even at the sacrifice of life itself, seeks
to save the immortal soul of man. This is
the kind of charity, we have met this day
to elicit, to strengthen, and to direct, and
without which it is impossible that the
great object of missionary enterprise can
ever be accomplished.
