The following paragraph contains Q
whole sermon of truth. How often its
common sense teachings are violated /:
DIR. Hall does not approve OF the old
fashioned doctrine which formerly was
instilled into the minds of children
namely, that they should spring out Of
bed the instant they aWoko in the morn
ing. He says that up to eighteen years
every child should be allowed ten hours
in bed. They may not require ten
hours sleep, but time should be allowed
to rest in bed after sleep is over, until
they feel as II they had rather get up
than not. 1t is very great and mis-
chieVous mistake for persons, old or
young, especially children, and feeble
and sedentary persons, to bounce out OF
bed the moment they wake up; all orr
instincts shrink from Ii, and fercely
kick against it Fifteen or twenty min
utes spentin gradually waking up, after
the eyes are opened, and in turning over
and stretching the limbs, do rs much
good as sound sleep, because these OPP
erations set the blood in motion by de-
grees, tending to equalize the ciIcula-
non for during sleep the blood tends
70 stagnAtion, the heart beats feebly
and slowly and to shock the system by
bouncing mp in an instant and sending
the blood in overpowering quantities to
the heart, causing IL to assume gAllop,
when the instant before it was In .
creep, Is the greatest absurdity. This
instantaneous bouncing out of bed as
soon as the eyes are opened will be fol-
lowed By WEAKNESS long before noon.

BRING THEM OUT.

A correspondent of the Ellsworth Her.
aid has commenced stirring the political
pot IN this senatorial district, and brings
up Hon. s. S. Vaughn, of Bayfield,, as
the proper man for the next Republican
candidate. Mr.. Vaughn represented the
upper district in the Assembly last winter,
of which body he was faithful, energet-
ic and consistent member. There are
o.her good men in that district who fur
nisb prime material for State Senator.
Among them we might mention Hon.
s. B. Dresser, and Sam Fifield, Of Os.
ceola, and Hon. A. Whittlesey, of Bay
field, all of whom would worthily repre-
sent the district. The candidate will
probably be taken from the upper dis
trict or from this district embracing
Pierce county. ST. Croix county can
have no special claim on the candidacy
and we presume makes none-as she
acquired the nomination two years ago
after fashion. The upper district pre-
sents the best claim and this district the
next best There can be none disputing
that proposition.

Gen. Sheridan who witnessed tho

lessness. Sheridan believes bad com.

Go SLow.-Although we hope the
case is not so bad as represented, the fol.
lowing from tho Winnebago Press should
cause our merchants to exercise the strict
est caution in their sales, in justice to
themselves as well as to their customers,
who from want of information 10 regard
to the situation may be lead to overstock
themselves and thus add to the general
embarrassment:
alt may be said with truthfulness that
the salvation of the State depends up
on the coming harvest. Never at any
previous time since the State was settled
have the people been SO generally in debt.
They owe the merchant, the machine
men, and the banks. The amount of
money loaned on mortgage is enormous,
as an examination of the books in the
Registers offices will show. This
money is loaned at high rate of inter-
est, ranging mostly from two to three per
cent mouth. If the crop fails busin ess
of most kinds will be Frustrated, mer
chants will fail, homesteads will be lost,
while the papers will be filled with mort
gage sale notices, and the lawyers will
grow fat"

lucky number. When the news of his
good fortune reached him, he was at

A story is told of young man and
bis sweetheart, in Racine, walking out
on the pier by moonlight alone. Pro
posals were in order aud The youth made
them. But, alas! for the frailty of hu-
man nature they were of the improper
sort. Bruised and bleeding the young
gallant found himself spread over the
rocks below. The approaching mar
riage is indefinitely postponed. Served
him right; why didn't he dodge?
