MUSCLE AND ALCOHOL

Washington. on their tour through the

kinds Of alcoholic drinks-regarling in
diligence in this direction as fatal to thcir
success as champion players at base ball.
To what extent this rule is in force among
other clubs we are unable to state; but it ii

The question here suggests itself-if
total abstinence from The tsc of intoxica-
ting drinks is SO Indispensable to the COM
pleto command and exercise OF the mental
and physical faculties that base ball players
and prize fighters are compelled to rely
on it for their greatest achievements, why
is it not equally valuable in all the var'-
Gus useful and honorable employlnents OF
life ? Surely the course observed bJ
these sportsmcn is worthy of Sonic consid--

chanical and business pursuits. For our
own part we regard the ready command
of mental and physical faculties OF moro
importance than artificial pleasure, which
only tends to destroy and degrade them.

HENRY WARD BEECUER ONLOVE

The following is from recent sermon
by the pastor Of Plymouth church:
On the earth there is nothing more
beautiful than the first breaking of young
strong, new, pure love. No flower that
ever blossomcd ~howcyer fair; or fragrance
that any flower ever emitted, however
sweet 40 bravery of the Sky ; no witch
cry of art ; nothing that man ever inyen-
ted or imagined, is to be compared with
the hours of dawnins love in the young
soul And it is a shame that men should
be taught to be ashamed of that which is
the prophecy cf their highest being and
glory Alas, that it should ever perish
in the using Alas, that men should not
know that to endure it must rise higher
and higher, since it is only by growing
into its full and later disclosures that 1t
may be saved from quick mortality. 1t
must grow or die for that which sufhces
for beginning is not enough fer all and
for all time
Love, therefore. should be school
master, carrying its pupils up from room
to room, throug Oh the whole university OF
the mind. As the lover begins first, it
ends first The higher. beginning latest,
lasts the longest.
And hence, true affection is strongest
in the latter periods of being, Perhaps
1t is less stimulating than young love, but
the popular impression that we love
strongest whcn we love earliest is not
found in truth or analogy. No one

WHAT ALL YOUNG MEN SHOULD
DO.

1. Every young man should make the
most of himself, intellectually, morally
socially and physically.
:, He should depend upon his own cf-
forts to accomplish these results.
3. He should be willing to take advice
from those competent to give 1t, and to
follow such advice, until his own Judg-
mcnt or convictions, properly founded,
should otherwise direct.
4 If he is unfortunate enough to have
a rich and iduocn father, he must do
the best he can under the circumstances,
which will be to conduct himself very
much as though he had not these obstacles
to overcome.
s. He shorll reutentcr that Young
ncn, if they live, grow old and that the
habits of youth are oftner than otherwise
rcrpetuated in the mature man. Know
inc this fact, he should govern himself
accordingly"
s. He should never be discouraged by
small beginnings, but remember that
nearly all great results have been wrought
out from apparently Slight causes.
I He should never, under any circum-
stances, he idle If he cannot find the
employment he prefers, let HIM come as
near his desires as possible he will thus
reach the object Of his ambition.
8. All young -rer hare 'itta.icnabic
rights, " among which none is greater or
more sacred than thopFitilege to be some
body.

for him to commence to make himself
agreeable, he again broke the spell by

THE NICKEL MINES.

Now that our specie circulation is based
so largely upon nickel, it may be interest
ing to the reader to know something Of
the locality and character of the mines
whence this mineral is taken, The few
facts about to be quoted with reference tc
them are taken from a Pennsylvania news
paper published in the vicinity of the
mines, the largest Of which are situated
III that State Fourteen miles from
Lancaster" says the journal in question,
''arc the Gap mines and the smelling
works. These mines were discovered
many years ago, and about the time Of
the revolutionary war We're worked Tor
copper, but were soon abandoned, the
crude machinery of that period being i'll
adapted to working them properly. Two
generations had passed away, and the cir
cumstanco had been forgotten, when about
fifteen years ago the mines We're reopen
Ell by a company of capitalists from Phil
adel1hia. since which they have been
steadily worked They were re-opancd
with the view of obtaining copper, but
the ore was soon discovered to be richer
in nickle, more valuable mineral, and
since then they have been worked for that
metal exclusively. In all about one hun
dred end fifty men are employed at the
mines and smelling works"
The nickel produced by these mines IS
nearly all used by the government in the
coinage of It's small pieces, in all of which j,
from one penny up to the five cent piece,
a large admixturc Of this metal IS used.

The INcoHERENCY which marked Mr. john
sons appearance i'm Wasllingtoniin the spring
OF 1866 pursues him. He says at one moment
that he will remove Sheridan; then he changes
his mind and Stanton is to be the victim; not
seeing his way clear in either OF these cases,
he threatens to resign himself, and deliver the
country over to the tender mercies of that ter
rible old "agrarian," Wade; he gives contra
dictory orders he spends days in collating evil
dence to show that Ashley and Butler are no
better than they should be; he pours the tale
of his wrongs and sorrows into the ears Of svm-
pathetic correspondents who are ambitious to
receive the brevet rank indicated by the fat
tering adjective, Contemplating" he expresses
fiendish desire to enter again the arena of
the Senate and annihilate his traducers by the
force of his eloquence, but sees no hope of an
election from faithless Tennessee, Washing
ton dispatches assert positively that the sub
lject of his resignation was seriously discussed
in the last cabinet meeting and that at least
one Of the Secretaries urged such a course up-
on the ground that, in his opinion,if Mr.. Wade
should come into the executive chair he would
by his radicalism and rashness be sure to
drive Off the conservative wing of the republic
can party, and so divide it as to render possible
the formation and success of the conservative
party. Ii Mr.. johnson wishes to indicate his
profound sense Of the unworthiness of the
American people in that way he will find all
the Radicals in the country "willin'." If he
will punish them in his novel manner there
will soon be an end of reports from Washing
ton like the following: -itt -t' .'i y
