My friends, have spoken of the
wind as master over the emotions of
| the eshnman heart; but let us see what
it does for you in another feld:, 1t
brings the music for you out of every
instrument, from the drowsey Jews
harp to the laundering organ. With
out its. assistance a sound could no
more be drawn or driven out of the
dulcet fiddle or melodious fish-horn
than you could sing doxology loud
enough to be heard to heaven at the
bottom of a potato-hole with your
mouth crammed with mush and mo-
lasses. The wind watts you over the
untracked, wilderness of waters in
mighty ships just as easily as it does a
grey squirrel acros the Mahoning Riv-
er upon ashingle with its tail hoisted.
| Ny bretheren, when the time comes
for you to praise the Lord altogether
by wind, suppose every church or
gan in christendom will be driven by
Wtifhitda-mif power on the higiapfessdfe
principle. And now, my brethren, as
wind is most important auxiliary to
an individuals success in. life, I ad-
wise each, one of you to blow your
horn wherever you go-blow such
brazen blast as might well cause old
Gabriel himself to drop his trumpetin

My friends, I notice that many of

ANIMALS THAT CHEW THE CUD.

a
Illuminating animals gather: their
food rapidly, give it a few cuts with
the teeth and swallow it. 1t goes to
an interior receptacle where it is mois-
tened; this is very essential if it be
dry hay. When the animal has filed
himself, he masticates the food thus
slowed away in his..stomaeh, raising, it
cud by cud. When portion is COM
pletely masticated, it passes to another
recegtaele, and the pFogress gef diges-
ton goes on. Thus an OK, if left to
himself, will raise and masticate all his
food thus slowed away in his stomach.
If he be pushed and worked hard, and
does not have time to masticate, he
falls off in flesh, his health is poor,
his digestion incomplete,aIrs'1 af.fsa
The horse, on the contrary, however
much in a hurry he may be, must mas
ticatei each moathfab before he .swal
lows it. A hungry. OK, let into a
meadow, will fill himself in twenty
minutes, while horse would want at
least an hour iand twenty minutes to
take the same amount of grass. The
OK, deer, sheep, goat, ,chamois and
rabbit, being the natural prey of fero-
cious beasts, are endowed with the
extra stomach in which hastily STOW
away the food without masticatiorl.-
This may, perhaps, be regarded as a
wise provision of nature, enabling
them to sally forth where food is
plenty, and in a short time fill them
selves and retire, to a place of safety
to ruminate their food at their leisure,

has already expressed himself adverse to
its extension, and we could expect nothing
from a Legislature or Convention, assem-

papers are filed with memorials and COM

would be, at this time, to let the voracious

The Stay Law--Appeal to Gen. Grant.

Baltimore Gazette says:
Governor McMullen, of Virginia, has
arrived here, bearing petition from him.
self and numerous leading citizens of his
State to General Grant. asking that the
stay laws be not extended beyond their
present lini;tation-January l, 1869. The
petition alleges that the credit of the State
is involved. and that if the stay laws be
extended Virginia will not be able to meet
the interest on her public debt. 1t further
alleges that these laws have been pronoun-
ced unconstitutional by Judge Meredith,
of Richmond. Governor McIullen had
and interview with General Grant on the
subject Friday morning. The General
was exceedingly affable and polite, but was
evidently opposed to much talking. The
petition was handed him, and after read
ing it carefully lie expressed himself as in
favor of granting the petition, but said he
would like to consult General Scho6eld be-
fore deciding what was best TO be done.
General Schofeld having been in charge
of the military district, he is familiar with
the subject. General Stonenan has al
ready expressed his OPPOSITION to any fur
Their extension of the stay laws, and has
advised all those who are unable to pay
their debts to proceed at once to secure
the benefit Of the bankrupt act and start
