With the charms of dear little Miss;
Q,letA he to the lass, smy dear ere we part
Eet us seal our love with kiss"
The maiden replied as the imp she eyed,
DO You think / will let you revei
Where others before you have vainly tried?
No, no, I'll not kiss the dcvil!"
Years rolled along, and the sweet little lass
Became an old sorrowful maid;
She lived like quesn-was rich but alone
Her beauty had all decayed.
Once again they met, and the old maid tried
To recall her former ISSUE
But he gaily smiled, and only replied,

LONDON is alarmed at the near sp-
proach of formidable disease which
has not been known in England for
a period OF thirteen years This dis
ease, which carries q very terror in
its name-"Famine Fever3--is, we
believe, unknown to our more fortu.
nate country, except by tradition.
We are told that it is dangerous
from its extreme communicability; /;
easily caught and easily carried from
place TO place. The distress and
misery, followed by weakness and
exhaustion, which have brought an
insidious disease upon England's
unprotected workingmen, have not,
happily, found parallel in America.
We have the authority of the Lon
don Times for the assertion that dur
ing the thirteen years, "the 80, 900
cases treated in the London Fever
Hospital included not q single speei-
men of this particular feyer.' or
the present appearance OF this terri
hle plague, squalor and destitution
form, no doubt, the immediate cause,
hut what the ultimate Let the de-
serted mills OF Lancashire answer.

The Franking Privilege,

The ". Y. Tribune, of the 18th
inst, has the following in regard to
the franking privilege, which, we
think, will receive general indorse-
ment without regard to party:
Postmaster General Cresswel is in
earnest in his endeavors to secure
the repeal OF the franking privilege,
and the letter which he communicat-
ed yesterday to the Committees of
the Senate and House is in its way,
as effective blow as he has yet
dealt. The truth is, our franking
privilege is an enormous anomaly, a
tax upon the transmission of every
letter from a poor mother to her son
in a distant State, a tax on every
newspaper taken by a farm hand or
day laborer. Without the sggravat-
ing incubus of the franking privilege
the rates OF postage might be very
soon and very considerably reduced,
The whole people pay now for the
squandering policy which
loads down the mail cars with tuns
Of freight sent under Congressional
franks, which nobody reads and very
few want.

THE following sensible remarks Of

show how many serious evils the
country escapes through the practical
wisdom aud sound policy of Il careful
President
ssThc President has done his duty.
l. has been an even easy Admins
tration, without ostentaLion or sensa-
tion-only honest, assiduous work
There has been temptations to 'vigor'
and craftsmanship and it is 10 his
honor thai he has resisted them. We
cannot say that he has made his Adj
ministration in all respects popular
in the broad sense of the mischievous
word. and vet no President had so
many opportunities for dangerous
popularity. We might have been at
yar with England on the Alabama
question, which would have been sup
sorted by every demagogue in the
land with all the tempting rhetoric OF
Irish wrong and Saxon tyranny
We might have been drifted into a
petty teasing war with Spain, for we
want Cuba, and Spain is so weak,
and there is such dismal chaos in her
own affairs, that some of US think
that it would be a pleasant summer
lob to whip her out OF the Antilles
There has been every sort OF public
opinion and patriotic invective abou,
liberty for Cuba and driving the
Spaniard out of America. The Pres
ident has put away these temptations.
and has devoted himself to paying
the debt and keeping the peace
There is probably no more prosy
proceeding than paying debts, and
the honor that comes is not that
surface frothy commendation of trad
ing politicians and incorporate jour
nalists, but the calm, earnest, undem
onstrative support of the people, who
weave and spin and dig"

EDS. JEFF.-Your valuable paper
jias been Z faithful visitor to me dur
ing my Punishment to the University
of Michigan, and I still retain my
interest in reading it's contents. A
few lines from this locality might not
prove altogether devoid of interest
AS health, happiness and money,
are desired by all, perhaps an idea
from those who have grown old in
the study of the organization and
preservation of the human body,
might be worth reading. Corydon
s Ford, Professor of Anatomy and
Physiology, in a lecture the other
day, To a promiscuous audience Oi
medical, law and literary students,
gave the following simple rules on
eating:
1. Temperance and prudence in
amount.
2. Not great variety ut once.
3. Not an excess of animal food
T. Meals regular and at regular
hours.
5. Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
6. DON'T eat heartily whenfatigued.
I. Food should vary with the sea-
son.
s. Sweetmeats, fruits and nuts
may be eaten with regular meals.
l believe the people of Hancock
county should know how to eat, IS
am satisfied they know how to drink.
But great revolution seems coming
in regard TO the use of alcohol in
the cure and prevention of disease.
DR.. Brown did much harm in his the
ory of practice-to use stimulants IN
the cure OF all diseases-and alcohol
was regarded the best. The res,,it
was that ne killed himself with his
own cure, and died miserable de-
bauchee. Alonzo Palmer, Professor
of practical pathology and hygiene
and of whom the L niversity may we'll
be proud-tells US that alcohol should
only be used in a small variety OF
..i.o.u.stA.Ases--a that 10 10 not a
preventive, but endangers the lives
of those using it, and makes them
prone TO disease. lie stated that in
his treatment OF nearly 1900 cases
of cholera, and when he worked 20
hours out of "a, and slept in cholera
hospitals for weeks, he never during
that time tasted drop OF alcohol or
stimulating liquors, as it was not
needed, and was a curse; that
"wine is q mocker, strong drink is

thereby is not wise" ..
There a:e about fourteen hundred
students in the University, and two
or three from your county. Among
them L have noticed Mr.. Frank
Ewing and Wallace Taylor. If you

there were enough to physic Amer

some that will wait until after "sheep-

enough aspiring quacks, limbs of the

Demented Californians.

Insanity prevails to a large extent
in California, and especially in San
Francisco. Disappointment in the
pursuit of wealth is considered the
principal cause. During the year
ending Oct. 81, 1869, no less than
LA persons were examined by the
Commissioners Of Lunacy in San
Francisco. OF this number, three
were discharged at once, seven were
sent to the Home for the Inebriates,
eight to the Almshouse, and the re-
mainder to the Insane Asylum at
Stockton. Only five were reported
cured in, and discharged from, that
establishment. OF 1876 persons sent
to the Asylum, 1l8 were single men,
which Is supposed to indicate that
bachelorhood is bad for the brains.
But as large proportion of the pop
ulatlon of San Francisco consists Of
young men who have gone there 20
seek their fortunes, the proportion
who become insane is probably not
greater than among married men or
the women of the place But the
gross amount of insanity is very
great for city of the size OF San
Francisco.

The London correspondent Of the

ing unpleasant reference to hopeful
royalty: The Princess of Wales has
another daughter. row about thirty
six hours old, and mother and child
are both doing well. For this poor
lady,so badly treated by her reckless
and abandoned husband, there is but
one universal feeling of tenderness,
compassion and respect. For her
cousOrt, royal though be be, the uni
versaI feeling is one OF undisguised
contempt. 1t is very bad to see a
young man in his position throw
himself away as he has done. but
there does not seem one redeeming
feature in his whole character. He
says himself that he never expects to
be king, and seems disposed to enjoy
himself in his peculiar fashion Ia very
besiial one) while he can. An explo-

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF JOHN
ACKLAND.
CHAPTER I-CONTINUED.


lin the following extraordinary narrative
ga highly honorable one," put IN
John Acklsnd.
"My dear sir, that is the very point
in question. Allow me to deserve the
dattering epithet. Judge Griffin shall
decide the case. You must know,
Judge, that the unfortunate force of
circumstances (why should 1 be
ashamed to own it2) has compelled
me to keep this gentleman waiting
an unconscionably long time for the
repayment of considerable sum of
money which he had been good
enough to advance to me. partly on
my personal security. Under these
circumstances, l was naturally anx-
ious that he should not, finally, be a
loser by the generosity fhis patience.
Il is, therefore, needless to say that
the rate of interest offered by myself
for the renewed postponement of the
liquidation of this loan was, in the
last instance, high one. am hap
DIV to say that l have, this afternoon,
had the pleasure Of refunding to my
friend the entire capital of the debt.
On that capital, however, a years
interest was still owing. OF course
| added the amount OF it to that OF
the capital. But he wonderful MANI
refuses-absolutely refuses--to re-
ceive it. Tell him, judge, you know
mel, that he is depriving Inc of a
luxury which / have too seldom
enjoyed,-the luxury of paying my
debts, that the capital
"Was a very large one," inter
rupted Mr.. Ackland, who had been
listening with growing impatience to
this speech. Pardon me if con-
fess that l had not counted on the
entire recovery of it,--especially so
soon. The interest to which Mr..
Cartwright has referred was fixed in
accordance with that erroneous i'm
preston. For which-ahem-my
excuse must be, sir, that-well, that
am not-never was--a man Of san
guiae temperament. Sir, Mr.. Cart
wright has greatly embarrassed me,
under present circumstances, l really
Il could not--ahem--tax my friend
here so heavily on debt of--of-
we'll, yes--of that amount, which has
been so unexpectedly-ahem. re-
ally-I-am not usurer, sir, though
| am a merchant"
Mr.. Ackland said all this with the
difficult hesitation of an exceeding
shy man, which he was, and blushing
up to the roots of his hair. As soon
as he had struggled through the
effort of saying it, and thereby work
ed himself into a state of feeling so
defensive as to be almost offensive,
he extricated his arm from the en-
brace of his host, and, with an awk-
ward bow, hastened to join the ladies
in the arbor.
"Odd man, that, 'said Judge Grif.
fin.
"Shy and proud" said Cartwright
"but as fine fellow as ever lived >
!. John Ackland wrote from Glenoal
to his cousin Tom, expressing muct
pleasure in his visit there. Tht
change of scene and air had agreed
with him, notwithstanding the grea
heat Of the season, and he already
felt in better health and spirits thar
when he left Boston. He related th,
