Results OF MODERATION IN DIEr.-Uealth
and longevity are not the only results Of mod
Grafton in diet. Its influence is far from be-
ing limited to the body; its effect on the mind is
still more important. julius Caesar, consti
tutionally addicted to excess, when resolved
on some great exploit, was accustomed to di-
minish his diet to an extent truly marvellous,
and to this diminution he ascribes the clear
ness and energy of mind which distinguished
him in the hour of battle. When extraordi
nary mental vigor was desired by the First
Napoleon, he used the same means to attain
il. To his rarely equaled moderation in Diet
Dr. Franklin ascribed his "elearness ofideas"
and "quickness of perception, and consid-
cred his progress in study proportionate to
the degree of temperance which he epracticed.
While Sir Isaac Newton was composing his
ssTreatise on Optics, he confined himself to
bread and little sack and water. Scarcely
less rigid was the abstiness of Leibnltz, when
preparing some parts of his "Universal Lam
guage" D'Aubigne relates of Luther, on
the authority of Melancthon, that "a little
bread and single herring were often his only
food for day. Indeed, he was constitution
ally abstenious; and, even after he had found
out that heaven was not to be purchased by
abstinence, he often contented himself with
the poorest food, and would continue for a
considerable time without eating or drinking. !"
DR.. Cneyne, q celebrated physician, reduced
himself from the enormous weight of 446
pounds to l4O pounds, by con6ning himself to
q limited quantity Of vegetables, milk, and
water, a. his only food and drink. The re.
suit was . restoration Of health and mental
vigor-and, amid professional and literary
labors. uninterrupted health and protracted
| life. An eminent nnaa once made the re
mark, "that nobody ever repsnted having
eaten too little.

WHAT THE WAR WAS FOR.

1t was generally asserted by the democrats,
after the 22d of Sept, 1862, when Mr.. Lin
coin yielded to radical pressure and changed
the policy of the war, that it was, thence
forth. carried on for the purpose of abolish
ing slavery; and it was just as generally as
serted, by the democrats, that we could ha We
had peace aud the Uuion at any time, if the
restoration of the Union was all that was
asked.
The republicans generally denied these
positions, and denounced the democrats as
oopperheads for making such statements
But we now find few who will deny the facts
as stated by the democrats, while many ai-
NIT them without asking. The Madison
wisconsin, Capitol, a republican paper,
says.
''We have been fighting four years, and
have expended uncounted blood and treasury
to free the limbs of the black man from
bonds"

Lorenzo d. Parmenter. Esq, being chosen
chairman, accepted the position in q short ad.

VIM. ID. Bruner was chosen secretary
DR.. Lyman, being called upon to state the
object OF the meeting, did so ina few words,
and offered the following motion:
Moved, That all legal steps, needed to secure
the punishment of the Messrs Walker for viola.

The motion carried, and Messrs Chas. Tit

While means were being taken to create
fand to place at the disposal of the above

On motion of Rev. o. T. Conger, it was
agreed to secure the services of Mr.. Ross, of
Missouri to deliver course of lectures on the

course of solid loyalty, administered at first in
broken doses.
The quacks of the profession, also, by this ca
lamity, and the cohesive attraction of marshal

have been drawn around the dying bedside Of the
republican party. Among this class the most

THEN AND NOW.

During the session Of the legislature of
Kentucky, I859-6O, the following resolution
was adopted:
ssWs are for the equality of the states, the. SUI
preuacy of the constitution, the execution of the
Jaws, and the preservation of the Union. We ask
nothing more than we are willing to award to 9TH
ers'
These sentiments were hailed with almost
try. aud Philadelphia paper, in publishing
the resolution, adds:
ssIfal the states could say this, and act upon it,
there would be an end of strife and injustice. 1t
is just what all good citizens should say, and live
by, and thus submitting themselves to 'the pow

their prayers, they would contribute to the ad-
vancement of Gods glory, the good OF his Chu rch

rarely feels disposed to take them off till she

overtake her on tue ice. By giving wav to
