quota Of officers complete without chaplain.
Mr.. Moses said the member in his closing
remarks had made a capital prayer, and was
an argument in favor of his position, that
they should not take SO much money ont of
the treasury when they had members who
could perform the work so well without
charge. s1 SG t'E s:I' ID
L. S. Langley. agreed with the gentleman
from Sumter, that the Convention should not
sacrifice or waste money belonging to the
State, but he believed they had members per-
fecty competent to act as Chaplain, and be
believed it would be better under the circum.
stances Of an impoverished State Treasury,
for the Chair to appoint some gentleman in
| this body and request him to act.
j.. J. Wright rose to point Of order, stat
| ing that the resolution did mot require that
the Chaplain should be paid.
The President decided the point of order
not we'll taken, TIE previous speaker having
used his argument in stating bis positions.
LIS. Langley was decidedly in favor Of in
voking the Divine blessing upon their delibe-
rations, but not willing to pay Ss per day for
oue when there were gentlemen there able
and willing to do it as matter Of patriotism.
r. G.. DeLarge called for the previous ques.
ton, which was lost.
j.. j. Wright advocated the election of a
Chaplain. The gentleman from Beaufort, and
the gentleman from Sumter might have the
same reasons for opposition to the appoint
rhent of Chaplain. He knew that one Of the
gentlemen, ard perhaps the other, had an ex-
ample set him TO ipect money more than
God. ~. ''.',, =
Mr.. Hurley moved to amend the resolution

Summer work has occupied the minds and
hands of the young men and boys of the
country, and by this time they begin to see
their way through, aud many are thinking
what to do for the winter. The crops are to
be harvested, and when this is done, the work
will be such that fewer hands will do it, and
the boys can be spared to 60 to a trade or to
school There is great demand for the
labor of good mechanics of almost every trade,
many Of whom are now getting very high
wages. The country is growing rapidly, and
though, as a rule, American jouneymen are
by no means thoroughly accomplished, like
the mechanics Of Europe, yet there is work
enough for them, and they rise rapidly II
industrious, sober, and intelligent. This makes
the trades very attractive to young farmers
and the mechanic arts will always draw then
recruits largely from the farms. The farm
however, offers greater inducements to really
intelligent labor than either the trades or the
mercantile professions, and young farmers
should plan how to best spend the winter for
/ their improvement in their profession.
The farmer without an education for hi
CaiiiRg remains sort of drudge wherever h,
is, and he stands no higher in society than

Position i'm Sleeping.

1t is better to go to sleep ON the right side,
for then the stomach is in very much the
position of a bottle turned upside down, and
the contents of it are aided in passing out by
the gravitaiion. If one goes to sleep ON the
left side the operation Of emptyiug the stom-
ach of its contents is more like drawing water
from well. After going to sleep, let the
body take its own position. If you sleep ON
your back especially soon after hearty meal,
the weight of the digestive organs aud that
of the food, resting on the great vein of the
body, near the backbone, congresses it and
arrests the flow of the blood more or less If
the arrest is partial the sleep is disturbed,
and there are unpleasant dreams If the
meal has been recent and hearty, the arrest is
more decided and the various sensations,
such as falling over precipice, or the pursuit
of a wild beast, or other impending dangers.
and the desperate effort TO get rid of it, arouses
us, and sends on the stagnating blood; and
we wake in fright, or in preparation, or feel
ing exhaustion, according TO the degree o.
stagnation, and the length and strength of the
efforts made to escape the danger. But when
we are unable to escape the danger-when W,
do fall over the prccipiee, when the tumbling
building brushes us, what then2 That is death
