LIVING ny RuLE-Living by rule, as IFS
Medo Persian law, uileslbe, is very unwiss,.
especially if person is in reasonable health.
We have given a great multitude of counsels
on the subject of health and disease, and in
connection with the statement that We have
not lost An hour from our office on account
of sickness in quarter Of century and mors,
many have euqnired with good deal ofin,er.
est "Do you live up to the rules you give
Others r. must be turned 10 certain ditec.
ton or it will be destroyed; nor like a loco.
motive, must run on one fixed track Of not
run at ALL The architect Of all worlds made
US for acting under great variety Of circum.
stances, and. in infinite wisdom and benevo.
ence, has given 10 man a mechanism Of won.
derful adaptabIity, ty which he can live
beautifully on land or sea, in the valley Or
on the mountain top, in the tropics or at tho
poles, on the barren rock or in the rich
savannas Our modes Of life must be adapt
ed to our age, our occupation, and the pc.
cullarties OF our constitution. There are
certain general principles which are appica'
Bile to all. Every man should be regular in
bis habits of eating; should have all the sound
sleep that nature will take; should be in tho
open air an hour or two every day, whom
practicable, and should have a plsasurabe
and encouragingly remunerative occupation,
which keeps him a little pushed, and they
are happest who ere in this last category.
AT the same time, if a man accustoms him
self to 90 to bed at nine o'clock, he need not
break his neck or get into a stew, II oircum,
stances occur to keep him up an hour or two
later. now and then; and SO with eating, ex-
ercise, and many other things. No one
ought to make himself galley slave to any
observance. Occasional deviations from all
habits are actually beneficial. They impart
a pliabiily to the constitution. give it .
greater range Of beautiful action. Don't 90
into fit if dinner is not ready at the instant.

Curious SAYlNGs-The Santa Cruz Times
gives an account OF a hen who produced
two eggs measuring six aud Ialf inches
around aud seven aud three-quarter inches
Iongitudnaily, and as il she WAS afraid The
other hens would become jealous her next
effort was an egg about the siz. Of quail's
egg. The same hen recently took as strange
a freak, laying mammoth egg, similar to
the above, and petered down gradually un.
i'll they became Of a very diminu,ive size"
That hen aims at reducing the big eggs to
little ones, and selling them by the dozen.
The more eggs, the more profit.

What 1t Costs Us.

Keep 1t before the people, and press i!
home to them at every turn. that since the
surrender Of Lees army the Radical Govern,
ment at Washington have borrowed about
eight hundred millions Of dollars, aud have
collected in addition thereto from the people
during the same period, by way Of taxes and
custom daties, fourteen hundred millions,
which make two thousand two hundred mil
lions that they have expended since the
close of the rebellion. This is one half OF the
entire debt Of Great Britain, and more than
the entire amount expended by the National
Government from the time that George
Washington was first inaugu"ated President
up to the close of Buchanans administra-
lion, during which time the country went
through two successful foreign wars, and any
number of wars with the Indians, and also
acquired all the territory Of the United States
west of the Mississippi River. These facts
speak for themselves.
And This.
That notwithstanding the war ended in
1865, the expense OF the War and Navy
Departments during 1867, two years after
the war closed, were So, 100000 more than
during the first year Of the war. Where
does all this money 90? The expenses Of
these two departments in 1857 were over
$44 100000 more than in 1866, and from
all accounts the increase Of 1868 will be
double that sum. Again we ask where does
all this money go? All efforts in Congress
to reduce the expense have proven futile
The Radicals continue to squander the nom
ey and add to the cost of living Of every
man, woman and child in the country, in
order that they may revel in luxury. The
leaders Of that party are now trying to
eject Grant President, that they may still
reve in large expenditures and plunder the
national treasury.
And This also.
That during the four years Of President
Polk's administration, which included the
Mexican war, the expenses of the War De-
partment We're $9O,54O,78s. The expenses
of that same department for the year ending
the lst of July, 1868, the third year of peace,
are $l2s,s5s, ,404, or over S3s, 600, 900 more
during one year Of peace than they were
during four years of Democratic rule with
the Mexican war on their hands. Is there
any wonder that the cost of living remains
at an oppressive figure to the mechanics and
iaborng classes of the counlrys
And Again This.
Eight years ago the Radicals solemnly DC
clared in their Chicago platform that the
people were so alarmed a. the reckless tx.
travagance and pIunder of the party in power
that an entire change of administration was
imperativeIy demanded. Well, since the
Radicals have run the government machine
the yearly expenses have been considerably
more than eight times as large as they were
eight years ago; the plunder and corruption
is eight times larger; consequently, the alarm
of the people is eight fold greater, and the
demand for an entire change of admnislra-
ton is eight times more imperative.-Daity

What Paddy Thinks.

Och Misther Radical Partly, it's very fine
That ye tell of the sojer boys brave;
How they died on the field full Of murder and
glory,
How the cbilder at home were sghin' an cryin'
For their father that had but ditch Tor .
But don't ye think that yc re lyin' somewhat
when ye spake it :.
and trash,
Else why do you pay off their pensions in paper,
While the bondholders handle the hard yellow
cash
All you know that ye spake what was false as
ould Sathan;
But you'll fool US no more wild your blarney
trash.
Just look, if ye PLACE. at the boys that were
sOgers,
Broken down wild the wars, crippled veterans
an poor,
Payin their own an the bondholders' taxes,
While the bondholder handles his sinners y
galore,
Ye would pay off the rich men in goold arrah,
would ye?
An the poor man in shinplasters cause he is
poor?
And yc think that the boys are in love wild ye'rc
Gncral.
But there's where ye're fooled very badly yell
see
He kept us poor boys pcnncl up for the naggers,
An we swore we would be even il we ever got
free,
An VIC II tell Misthcr Grant be can sthoy from
the White House,
An he'll mind what we tell him as shure as
can be.
He once used to tell us to move into battle
Over hundreds and heaps of the wounded and
slain,
And smoke his segar as though it was funnin'
But he'll never command us in that way again;
Begorra, we'll make him resign in November,
Til he thinks he is tanned or u tanner again

CoLFAx AND KNOW NornlNclsM The
Sacramento Record quotes from the South
Bend (lnd) Reyister to prove that Coliax
WAS not Know Nothing. The Register is
good witness! We believe that it was ed.
tied by CoIfax at the time Know No,hingism
had its sway. 1t will be rememl cred that
the Know No,hings Of Louisville, Kentucky,
burned the Irish quarter of that city, and
murdered several Irlsbmen. Below we give
an editorial OF the RegiSter on that occur
renee, which is sad to have been written by
Coltax:
"THE RIoTs IN LoUIsvILLE-AN ErPREs
slvE WARNING TO PopERy.-llowever much
men may depore the effusion of blood and
the destruction of property they cannot fail
to read 10 the action of the aroused Ameri
cans of Louisville, warning to Popery as
plain as the handwriting upon Belshazzar's s
palace walls. 1t was warning written in
blood and flame, and one that. if it pass un.
needed by the Pope and his blind and SER
vile tools in this country, will be repeated in
every city, town and village iu the land.
The American people have at last awakened
to the dangers attendant upon the tolera
ton of Catholicism in their fair land Of lib
erty, and they are determined to rid them
selves of the evil by the swift and strong
hand. Far be it from US TO judge and con
denim them. They have been patient and
longsufferiug. They have found that Wash
ington's instruction to his officer OF the
guard, Put none but Americans on guard
to night" was not without meaning. Per-
baps it is but poetic justice that the church
which so long fed Christian martyrs to the
flames, should in turn furnish food for the
fire. Monday at Louisville was but the be-
ginning. Let it teach the tools and slaves
Of the Pope wisdom, before every town and
village becomes to them another Louisville.
