that at fst there we're not visible these evidences OF
success. 1t took some weeks after the nominations
bad been made for sections of the country 10 re-
eoncie themselves to his (seymours) position on the
finances, but now all is working admirably and day
BY day the strensth of the ticket increasing In
one word, hr Seymour is convinced that the De.
mocracT will succeed. He does not attribute this to
ms own personal popularity, but to the almost uuver-
sal desire fora change OF party administer the af
tars OF Government l am personally acquainted with
the gentleman who had the above conversation with
Gov. Seymour, and he informs me that he has known
the Governor ior the last thirty years and always

The wear and tear Of life tells upon us all

The vital principle is the motive power that
keeps the human engine in motion; but as
beams, pistonS, connection pipes, eondenserS
and boilers wear out, so do organs, muscles,
tissues and and all the compound parts Of that
marvellous piece ofwork called MAN.
The mechanism Of the body requires TO be re-
paired and strengthened just as much as the
mechanism employed to grind corn, or spin cot
ton, or weave cloth. Steam cannot drive bro
ken shaft, or imPel drum or wheel that is
out of gear; neither can the vital force act
through paralyzed limb, or an inert organ.
ARE YOU WEARING OUT? Do you feel
that any one Of your organs-your stomach,
liver, bowels, nervous system, or any other e..
sential part Of your organization, ialters inis
work II so, repair the damage with the mos;
powerful, yet harmless, of inyigorants, HOS

Der that debility is the beginning of the End
that the climax Of all weakness is a universal
paralysis Of the system, and that such paralysis
is the immediate precursor Of DEATH.
Don't wait for disease 10 commit lis raSascs

cess. Keep the whole body in vigorous con
diton by prcrenting, as far as possible, the IN

Judge Campbell collected from the va
rious letters OF Rein D. Shepherd. The
admitted provisions Of this tesIamentary
letter and combined them into project OF
a will. which he propounded as the real
,eslamen. of James II. Shepherd. He
quoted many authorities 10 show that
such letters accompanying wills were ad-
miued to probate and executed in Eng
land and France. In some OF the cases
cited the letters in question were secret
communications.
He also argued that the will Of James
II. Shepherd. or the ,estamen,ary DISPOSE,
tons in the sealed letter, created prohib.
tied substitution or trust. which would en-
title the heirs al law 10 the property, as
similsliDg it 10 the case Of Franklin and
