Tn 1913, Republic was organized in
France. At the head oft the people were
so infatuated as TO place as President Louis
Napoleon, man with no previous reputa-
ton, not identified in sentiment with any
of the political organizations Of the coun-
try. He was chosen simply because he
was the representative Of great military
namo, which captivsted the public.
His 6sst move at the head Of the Gov.
ernment were suspicious. He consulted
no one. He held little or no intercourse
with any of the political chiefs. He made
Cabinet of warm and attached personal
friends, who had always been devoted to
him in the darkest moments Of Lis check.

He opposed its reduction. He placed his
favorite officers in those commands where
they could render him, in an emergency,

The Principles Which Give Relish q
Food and Drink.

Too little has hitherto been thought by
Psychologists, and almost nothing been writ
ten on that beautiful provision for our happi-
ness by which everything that is useful as
food or drink is most agreeable to the pal
ate, 80 that the higher our relish for any
given article, the more perfectly it is dt:
gested, and made to supply the wants Of
the sys1sn; - hsssv- -EhAsafass, 4 natural
guide to the right kind of food at the right
time, and, on the other hand, have dis
relish for articles which not being suited to
our condition, would be injurious. But a
little reflection will show that in this adap-
ton of our palates to the peculiar taste or
osmazome Of every distinct article Of food,
we have faithful sentinel, inviting the ad-
mission Of friends and protecting us from
the approach of enemies.
Place before child who has never tast-
ed Of sugar; or butter, or superfne -four,
or any other elements Of food that have
been separated from their natural connec-
tions, aud whose tastes are therefore upper
verted, milk, unbolted bread, meats, fruits,
or any other natural food, and he will
choose just that article which is best adap-
ted to his condition at the time, and may
be trusted to eat as much as he pleases.
But the taste is prevented with food in
which the flavor is excessive, as in butter,
sugar, fine -four, etc., aud it is no guide,
but deceptive. Fl
And here we are liable to err. Our ma
tural gustatory pleasures are not in pro-
portion to the amount of osmazome in
our food or drink. Natures flowers are
very delicate, and the very choicest relish
is that produced by very slight tracer Of
osmazome. For example, take nutmeg,
q very slight grating ofwhich will flavor a
large bowl Of porridge. Attempt to in
crease the relish by increasing the quantity
Of the spice, and you utterly fail, making
your beverage less and less agreeable as
you increase the quantity Of nutmeg, till it
becomes disgusting, positively injurious to
the digestive process; and this is true of
other condiments, and indeed, all other
good things. Delicate Aavors are agreea-
bic and useful in prompting digestion; but
every article is capable Of promoting health
and happiness in appropriate quantities, is
capable ofdoing harm in unnatural guam
tities.--Dr. Bellows.

Pointed and ELOQUENT Words.

During the debate 10 the Pennsylvania
Legislature upon the resolution to ratify
the fifteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, Mr.. Rodgers, a Democratic
member, said:
~ am free to say, and / challenge con.
tradiction, that not q single member of
the Congress who passed the Amendment
or Of any Legislature now in session was
elected on this Issue. Every newspaper
Of your party, every orator, at your
hustings, every candidate, every platform,
from Chicago down or up, expressly disa-
vowed negro suffrage aud conceded that
the subject belonged to the States-loyal
States-and the people thereof It may
be as the gentleman from Lancaster says
that this was owing to the fact that the
Republican party was weakened; but
whether so or not it was the plea under
which you carved an extension Of power,
and the people, believing your plighted
words, your boasts Of patriotisms, economy
and reform, aud your hackneyed charges
of disloyalty against US, trusted you again
and to their destruction. Your pledges were
written in the sands Of expectancy only to
be washed away by the waves of success.
Submit the question to them. All power
is inherent in the people, you say. Try
them-we defy you. Yeomau of the old
Keystone would respond in one hundred
thousand majority against negro suffrage,
and not man of you who was returned by
less than FIVE thousand majority will come
back next January.
The ratification of this Fifteenth Amend
ment violates the Constitution of our Com
monwealth and the present wishes of our
constituents. That while every protection
to life, liberty and property should be
freely accorded to our unfortunate colored
friends, yet suffrage will be to them not a
blessing, but an evil in disguise, and not
only tend towards a degradation of the
white race, but ultimately end in war Of
determination of the blacks; war more
frightful than that from which We have
just emerged,a war which may destroy the
fabric of our government, and break our
Union into petty republics, the one war
ring with the other. Oh, representatives
of a glorious Commonwealth, with such
contingencies staring you in the face, will
you pause in your schemes Of party? l
repeal to you as Americans, as Pennsylva-
mans, as men. to save the heritage OF our
forciathers from even the danger of de.
struction, and snatch from the jaws ofcivil
war the safety Of an imperiled State and
Union.

in recent trial between two Germans in

nothing more nor less than piece of me-

waiting for an interview.

"Oh, Edward. I'm afraid its true. and
I loved you So" sobbed the young wife ;
'how could you have treated me SOP

The strange lady uttereda low, mocking
laugh. The scene was getting interesting
to the last degree. The ladies were all
crying, and the father. Of the bride looking
stern and indignant. He had been for
some time intently regarding the strange
lady, when suddenly his eyes lifted up,
and an amused smile played upon his lips.
He took step forward, and laying his
hand on the shoulder of the stranger, said
" Come, John, this is very cleverly played,
but it's time it was over and following
