The gespOnsIblIltles Of The LIVER.

The liver has a very important part TO
perform in the animal economy. Its func-
ton is two-fold. The huid which Ii Sc
cretes tempers the blood and regulates the
bowels, and upon the quantity and quail
ty of the secretions depends, in q great
degree, the adaptation of the blood to the
requirement. of the system and the due

THE crowd of bacchanals who fol-
lowed Nj. Van Ripper through the
Second Ward, on Tuesday evening,
disguised every decent man of both
political parties. The expressions Of
contempt, yesterday. were both loud
and abundant. Surely Mr.. Van Ripper
mistakes the character af the citizens
of the Second Ward. Either that. or
he is disposed not only to force him
self upon them by imported birelings
from Louisville and other distant
points, but at the same time, show
them the depth of their humiliation,
by a public exhibition Of the charac-
ter of the cattle through whose in
strumentality he proposes to be elected.
We very much mistake the decent
Democrats of the Second Ward, if
they do not contribute towards de-
feating so unscrupulous a politician.
IF. in order 10 be elected, he will re-
sort to such influences and men. what
will he not do in order to still further
advance his personal schemes. in case
lie should be elected. IF he will
tranple under his feet all the propri-
cites and d~ecencies of life, to secure
his election, is he not q most danger
Gus man to place in a position of i'm
po~rtance2
We regret that Mr.. Van Riper's
foolish ambition has 50 demoralized
his sense Of propriety as to induce
him to indulge in such displays as
that which made night hideous on
Tuesday evening. They certainly
viii not add to the number of his
friends.

The Midnight Sun.

A LETTER dated at Eemmerfest, Nor

March, says:
IL is midnight by my watch, midnight
by the watches OF my travelling compan-
ions, midnight by the ships chronometer,
midnight by our reckoning of time on
our ships voyage, and yet the sun is shin
ing directly in the north, full orbed and
as full OF light as when within an hour Of
setting in clear sky in America l look
down beautiful ford, between two walls
OF dark mountains and a calm, bright sea,
and in the utmost limit OF the view is the
great orb Of day pouring a food of golden
light upon tie wafer, kindling the fleeing
clouds above him with all the hues of the
rainbow, browning the dark ridges of the
mountains with rosy tints, and
covering the whole face of land
and sea with calm, sacred, awful
beauty, such as have never beheld
II any other region of the earth. It seems
as II L mad Climbed 81 high up the ridge

How Long IL Took TO Prepare a Break

Yes, sir; TO be sure we die" saidthey
all.
How long time do you think was
required TO prepare it?"
Various were the answers given to this
question, but from half an hour to an hour
was the average time mentioned.
"Now, did you ever thInk," replied
the teacher, THAT it requires more years
than any OF you can count 2"
"H0w can that be?" asked Rob. any

"My papa" said Dick, "planted our

geography says it is Dug out OF the earth
or boiled down from salt water; so we

"No; but when was the salt made?
