smoking.

Dr. Copeland says: atThe habit
of smoking tobacco has given rise
to the following I'll effects, which
have come under my observation in
numerous instances, and that of all
the medical men with whom I am
acquainted.
81. Smoking weakens tho diges-
tive aud assimilatiDg functions, inn
pairs the due elaboration Of the
chyle and of the blood, and pre-
vents a healthy nutrition Of the
several structures of the body -
Hence result, especially in young
persons an arrest of the growth of
| the body; low stature; a pallid
and saliow hue of. the surface ). an
insufficient and unhealthy supply
of food, and weak bodily powers.
In persons more advanced in life,
these effects, although longer in
making their appearances, super
vene at last, and with a celebrity in
proportion to the extent to which
this vile habit Is carried
2 Smoking generates thirst and
vital depression and to remove
these, the use of stimulating liquors
is rcsoFted to, and often carried to
most Injurious extent. Thus two
of the most deba~ing habits and
vices to which human nature can
be degraded are indulged IN to the
injury of the individual thus. ad-
dicted, to the shortening of his lite,
and to the injury and ruin of his
offspring.
3. Smoking tobacco weakens the
nervous powers fayors dreamy,

existence produces Incidence and |
incapabilIty Of many or continued |

tivity and selfish enjoyment of his |

A Cheerful Face.

Garry the radience of your soul
in your face. Let the world have
the benefit of 1T. Let your cheer
fulness be felt for good wherever
you are, and let your smiles be scat
tered like sunbeams, "on the just
as we'll as the unjust" Such a dis.
position wilt yield you rich re-
ward .sfor its happy effects will come
to you and brighten your moments
of thought. Cheerfulness makes
the mind clear. gives tone to the
thought, adds grace and beauty to
the countenance. Joubert says,
aWhen you give, give with joy and
smiling" Smiles are little things,
cheap articles to be traught with so
many blessings both to the giver
and the receiver, pleasant little rip
Piles to watch as we stand on the
shore of everyday life. They are
our higher, better natures re-
sponses to the emotions OF the soul.
Let the children have the benefit
of them those little ones who need
the sunshine of the heart to educate
them, and find level for their
bouyant natures in the cheerful,
loving faces of those who lead
them. Let them not be kept from
the middle aged. They come to
them like the rain of summer, ma
king fresh and verdant the long,
weary path of life. They look for
them from you who are rejoicing in
the fuTlness of life Be gentle and
indulgent to all. Love the true, the
beautiful, the just, the holy.

pT A singular financial trans
action occurred in one of the dock
offices in New York a few days
ago. BY some means or other it
happened that the office boy owed
one Of the clerks three cents, the
clerk owed the cashier two cents
and the cashier owed the Office boy
two cents. One day last week the
office boy having a cent in his pock-
ct concluded to diminish his debt
and therefore handed the nickel
over to the clerk, who, in turn,
paid half his debt by giving the
coin to the cashier. 1 be latter
handed the cent back to the Office
boy, remarkipg, snow [ only owe
you enc cent. The Office boy
again passed the cent to the clerk,
who passed it 10 the cashier, who
passed it back to the Office boy,
and the latter individual squared
all accounts, paying it to the clerk
thereby d:scharging his entire dept
Thus it may be seen how greatsis
the benefit to be derived from a
single cent if ontE7 expended Ju--
diciously. a

Whistling.

Next to language, wbistling is
one of the most philosophical things
in which a fellow of good spirits
can indulge. Whistling is popu
lar prescription for keeping up the
courage-it might better be said
good spirits. Some genial philoso-
Dhar has we'll said on this subject
9'Whistling is a great institution.
1t oils the wheels of care, supplies
the place of sun shine. A man who
whistles has good heart under
his shirt-front. Such man not
only works more willingly, but he.
works more constantly. A whist
ling cobbler will earn as much
money again as cordwainer who
gives away TO low spirits and indi-
gesJion. Mean or avaricious men
mover whistles. The man who at
tacks whistling throws stone at

Fer Congress.

The yexed matter as who shall be the
Republican nominee for Congress in this
district has finally been settled. Hon.
}. Alien Barber, of Grant County, was
nomina;ed at the Spring Green Conven-
ton, on the 48th ballot. Although there
was quite spirited contest, and great
number of conflicting interests, the pro,
ceedings of the convention were harmoni
Gus, and closed with general good feeling
among the delegates. Hon. j. Allen Bar
Der was the first choice of great many Of
the Delegates present, and proved to be the
only man on which enough could concen,
trate to give nomination. On the final bal
lot, when the tellers reached % for Barber,
the number required to nominate, there
was a commotion in the room, accompanied
by a murmur of approval, and when the
result was announced by the chair the
applause was loud, hearty and continued
The nomination was then made unani-
nous. He received "a votes.
Mr.. Barber, we believe, is fine gen.
tleman, true republican, sound law
yer, and will make an able representa-
tive. We trust and believe that the re-
publicans of the district will lay aside all
feelings of jealousy, envy and strife, and
will unitedly go to work, and by the use
Of all honorable means in their power Sc
cure his triumphant election.

The War

Our latest dailies contain the ac-
counts of another great battle between
The French and Prussians, near Beau
mont, on Tuesday. McMahon's force
was met by the army of the Grown
Prince, and has been defeated and
driven back with great loss to the
French. Mcmahon has been driven
beyond the Meuse river. The PrIs-
SLAMS captured twelve guns and several
thousand prisoners.
StYasburg is still closely ssbeseiged
and the inhabitants are reported in a
terrible state, being compelled to re-
main in cellars to avoid the unceasing
Ere of the Prussians.
Bazainc is still held at Metz. He
is harmless there and can not get out.
The people of Paris do not mean to
starve should they be beseiged. The
Bots de Boulogne has been turned in
to stock yard or pasture, and con-
tains 100000 oxen, and 100000 sheep.
The city, moreover, is full of grain,
-four, meal, rice, groceries, &C., and the
stock is rapidly increasing. There is
also six months supply of liquor on
hand. This proportion of meat and
drink, however, is very much like the
fellows who arranged his eatables and
drinkables in the proportion of key
of whiskey to loaf of bread.

ed on one ballot, and that if any ballot

ing resolutions
WHEREAS, The Republican party has
ever been not only the party OF progress,
but also the tried and the conservative
party Of the people; and
WHEREAS, the county still looks to this
party for solution of the great political
questions of the day, it behooves Reprb-
licans to meet and solve the same In
straight forward and statesmanl!ke man
ner therefore
| Resolred, That the people of the United
States, and of the west in particular, are
burdered with unnecessary taxation, and
that for their relief in this respect, and al
so for the benefit of the national treasury,
our existing tariff should be entirely re-
adjusted and brought as nearly as possible
to revenue standard.
Resolved, That the welfare of the coun-
try imperiously demands SPEEDY resump-
ton of specie payments by the govern
ment; for at present, owing to the contln
ually recurring fluctuations in prices, arts
ing from..thc useiof an unredetmable paper
currency as circulating medium, millions
of dollars are annually lost, and mostly by
the laborcrs of the country, class of per-
sons least able to sustain such loss.
Resoloed, That a properly adjusted IN
come tax is one of the most equitable and
easily borne Of any tax thus far levied by
government
Resol0e}, That in the war now pending
between France and Prussia. our sympa,
thics are unequivocally with the German
people, because in this struggle, the Ger
mans represent the cause Of freedom in
Europe against Imperial dictation and des-
potism.
