How TO Grow Old.


You will need to dress WARMER
Your blood will circulate slower, and
not so much on the surface ofthe body
You will chill easy, and take cold easy,
and have little power to resist the cold
or the charges Of the weather. Very
few old people dress as they should.
Keep this in the mind. Keep active
not under a heavy burden of business
or duties but enough to employ your
thoughts and strength, and yet you
must not 5verdo; the old mill cannot
grind as fast nor long as It once could.
Rest when you are weary, and make
business OF resting. Don't try to be
old or young. There is no need of
trying the former, and the latter would
be foolish. Don't dwell on the fear
that you are getting old, and if other
people don't know it, most likely they
suspect it.
At any rate, to talk about it is ike
talking about reason, which needs
not to be talked about. Keep up with
the world, the religious and the secu-
lar world, by daily reading and by
~ uipAOhy- GpA SIBbbc III any HtN
business, or any new schemes. You
have not Judgment to make decisions,
or you have not strength to overcome
the obstacles Immediately connected
with new undertakings. Indeed, age
should have little to do in making
great bargains. Especially don't grow
covetous-the besettiDg sin Of age.
Yon feel that you are growing help
less, and by-nnd-by may need atten-
ton and kindness, and you know that
money will bny these, and hence, it be-
ing the only power lef5 which you can
feel you covet more of it, 1t eats in
to the heart and grows with age-un-
less yon are very careful Remembey
that by boarding, growing stingy AMI
close, you take the very method to
make people wish you were dead. d
Finally, remember that age is the
Sabbath of life, time to withdraw
from heavy worldly responsibilities; q
time of reading and thinking, time
for faith to unfold her wings, and for
hope to whisper her lessons, and the
soul to reach forward and listen to
voices of the loved ones who have gone
before; and watch for deep breathings
of the Holy Spirit, and to welcome the
manifest presence of the dear Saviour
of the soul. DR. Todd

Scraps.

Waste nothing: neither money, nor
time, nor talent.
If You can say nothing good of one,
say nothing at all.
Always tell the truth; you will find
it easier than lying.
Prosperity is a blessing to the good,
but curse to the evil.
Let everything have its place, and
every business its time.
Better to be upright with poverty,
than wicked with much.
Resolve to perform what you ought;
perform what you resolve.
They that laugh at every thing, and
they that fret at every thing, are fools
alike.
Every man magnifes injuries he has
received, and lessons those he has in
fiicted.
Idleness is hard work FOR those who
are not used to it, and dull work for
those who are.
Value the friendship of him who
stands by you in the storm; swarms OF
insects will surround you in the sun
shine.

BIpDy's CALL TO BREAKrAsT.- The
Cleveland Plaiadeater relates the fol-
lowing:
A lady of this city in giving direc-
tons to a new servant, the other even

get breakfast ready you must ring the
bell" "Sure an I'll do it mum, said
Biddy. At an unusually early hour
the next morning there came fearful
tug at the door bella tug that al
most broke the wire, and sent both
husband and wife into upright posi-.
tons in bed The ringing continued
with frightful energy. Master of the
house pulled on his pants, and with
out waiting for slippers or dressing
gown, hurrles in surprise 10 the door
There stood Biddy ON the door step,
with countenance radiant in the
consciousness of faithfully dis
charged duty, and with low courte-
sy, exclaimed breakfast is ready

a GRAVE WITHOUT A MONUMENT The
sea is the largest of cemeteries, and all
its slumberers sleep without monu-
ment. All other grayeyards, in all
lands, show symbols of distinction be-
tween the great and the small, the rich
and the poor, but in that ocean ceme-
terry the king and the clown, the prince
and the peasant, are alike undistin
guished. The same wave rolls over
all, the same requiem by the minstre-
lsy of the ocean is sung to their hon
or. Over their remains the same storm
beats, and the same sun shines, and
there. unmarked. the weale and the
unhonored will sleep on, until awaken
ed by the same trump, the sea will
give up its dead. No marble rises to
point out where their ashes are gath
cred. Yet this cemetery hath orna-
ments of which no other can boast.
On no other are the heavenly orbs re-
Elected in such splendor. Over no
other is heard such noble melody.

To the Electors of Howard
County.

In compliance With the Expressed wish
OF many friends, offer myself as Candi-
date for reelection to the office of Super
intendcnt of Common Schools. l am aware
that ant asking at your hands your conf
deuce and favor and am not ihsthsiblu of
the corresponding duties and Responsible
ties which this trust involves, 4
confess to be OF those who hope for and
expect bright future for the schools of
our County. ~

a continuation of the favor you have hith-
erto bestowed upon me for the following
.re~sons; f'shsll hope, r. the trust isson-
ferrcd upon me, to make up in zeal and
devotion, what lack in other qualities.
The electors Of this county know, (as
we'll as do, that the great fight in How
ard county politics is about the Office of
Treasurer; this being the monied office,
and they also know that the candidates for
said office select the delegates to represent
them in the county convention, and that |
had no voice whatever in choosing sin
gle man. The two candidates for Trcasu-
rer, saw fit to choose, (Which they had a
perfect right to de), but very Few Of my
personal friends, therefore, it seems to be
no more than fair that my case should be
referred to the voters Mt the October cleo
ton. am satisficd'that a large majority
of the patrons, teachers, and children wish
me to continue Superintendent another
term. ~ . 'I..a" - u -
wish every elector who may sec fit to
support me at the ensuing election, to re-
member that when he casts his vote for me
he is voting for Republican, (elcctioneer-
ing stories to the contrary notwithstand-
ing,); therefore, (as before) take your
choice between two good Republicans and
vote for the man you want laying aside all
local prejudices.
Ihave hitherto endearosed to act faith
fully, and have tried to assist your children
in obtaining an intellectual, physical and
moral education and will continue SO to do
if intrusted with the children's interests.
The electors will excuse the free use of
the pronoun "I'' in this hurried commu-
nication; it could not we'll be avoided as it
is from me they expect to hear and can
not with propriety use the conventional
"we.n : 7.".I t ',t 1

was advised to try your Bitters, aud, hav-

worked like charm upon me, eight pounds
having been added to my weight in the
space of one week, and new life seemed to
have been infused into my system, so much
so, that have been induced toAuse them
every summer since that time. As tonic
think they are invaluable.
This summer having had a similar attack
land as before, much reduced, although
under the treatment of No physician,
liwas again obliged to have reoource to the
cid Bitters, and with the same good result,
having gained six pounds within few

Great New England Remedy,
For Coughs, Colds, asthma,

Bronchial Affections,
B]alsam Of Alpine Moss.

This great remedy should be immedi-
ately resorted to by every person laboring
under symptoms which indicate incipient
Consumption, such as Pains in the Side
or Chest, Hacking Cough Splitting of
Blood &C., should admonish you to have
recourse to an appropriate Remedy with
out delay.
Whatever is done to relieve the Con-
sumptive Patient ought to be attempted in
the early and forming stages Of the disease,
as it is then alone that remedies can be ex-
hibited with any fattering hope ofsuccess
In many cases this Balsam has been suf-
ficient to afford prompt and permanent re-
lief. In others, too far advanced before
having recourse to it, it has alleviated suf-
fering and protracted the patients life,
and in no case can it do an Injury. Give
it an early, trial, and it will afford relief
If you spend your money and your time
upon other remedies before the knowledge
of the efficacy of this Balsam reaches you,
give II trial, even Mt late hour, and if
it fails to arrest the disease, you and your
friends will have the satisfaction of having
done all in your power to delay the fatal
crisis.
