and Morton fought against to the bitter

The resolutions speak Of the great
courage and the duties performed by
the republican party in suppressing the
rebellion, eInancipaGng the slaves, en-
forcing the laws, developing the internal
resources of the country, encouraging
and promoting Immigration, collecting
the revenue and reducing the national
debt; and express the belief that the
country viii not entrust the government

chiefly Of those who have resisted every

hold that the recent amendments to the
Constitution must be sustained and car
RED out; that any tOlerable peace with
foreign nations should be maintained: /:
that the civil service should be re-
formed; that no further grants Of public
lands should lie made to corpOrations:
that the revenue should be such as to
furnish a moderate balance TO be ap-
piled TO a reduction Of the public
debt, and that the revenue, ex-

day as one which would be memorable
in the future; q day which was TO record
another page in national history; a day
in which centered and around which
clustered not merely the welfare, but
possibly the destiny, of the nation. He
prayed that the platform to be estab-
lished should be the embodiment of
wise, and just, and humane principles,
and that the man to be selected to bear
the banner of the Republican party, and
to ill the highest place of honor and
trust in this land, should be specially
blessed, and that the efforts of the con-
vention should be crowned with glorious
success.

MeIl.Snent Life.

A minister of the gospel was asked
to visit a poor dying woman. The
messenger being ignorant, could
give no account of her state, except
that she Was a very good woman,
and very happy, and was now, at the
end of a well-spent life, therefore,
sure of going to heaven.
The minister went, saw she was
very i'll, and after a few kindly in
quiries about her bodily condition,
said, "Well, I understand you are in
a very peaceful state Of mind, de-
pending upon well spent life. =
The dying woman looked hard at
him and said: eyes, | am in the en-
joyment of peace" You are quite
right; sweet peace, and that from a
well-spent life. But it is the well-spent
life of Jesus; not my doings, but His;
not my own merits, but His redeem
ing blood"
Derr reader, what a blessed state
to be IN, whether for life or death.
The blessed nature Of gospel liberty
is Just this, to be brought as poor
sinner to see that all Jesus has and
is, and all he has done, is made over
to us, and that as He has taken our
place, we take His, and therefore are
accepted in the beloved" When
our good doings are based upon this
foundation, the well-spent life Of Je-
sus, then our services find acceptance
before God The life is well-spent
that understands this mystery. The
well-spent life of Jesus just put to
our account. Tens of thousands are
toiling to recommend themselves to
God by well-spent life of their own,
but it is labor in vain; it is an 0,
without figure before it, Crowd
myriads of cyphers together and they
stand for nothing. Christ is the fig
ure that gives value to all our ac-
connts, great or small, and the Spir-
it gives the receipt in full to His
well-spent life.

Curious Experiments with Ice.

Professor Bottomly OF GLASGOW
University, III o recent lecture to his
class, placed a lump Of ice as large
as an apple on n piece of wire gauze,
and on this board weighing twelve
pounds. Before the conclusion Of
the lecture, considerable quantity
Of ice was found on the lower side OF
the gauze, firmly united to that above
though apparently forced through
the meshes in room at Is deg. 9.
$50 deg. f. In a second experiment
he placed block of ice on two par
allel boards near together, passed a
a loop of wire over the ice, and hung
weights on the ends. Various sizes
of wire were tried, and in the final
experiment a wire one-tenth OF an
inch in diameter was used, weight
ed with 56 pounds. 1t passed en-
tirely through the block of ice, and
fell on the floor; but this block OF ice
though the plain Of passage was
clearly marked, was not divided, nor
could it be split in this plane with a
knife or chisel.
This remarkable result he explains
to be a consequence of Thompson's
theory of regulation. The stress
upon the ice, due to the pressure OF
the wire, gives it tendency to melt
at the point in contact with the wire,
and the ice, in the form of water in
termixed with fragments and new
crystals, moves so as to removes it.
self of pressure. AS soon as any
portion of the mass is thus relieved,
freezing takes place through it, be-
cause its temperature is reduced be-
low that of the freezing point Of wa
ter at ordinary pressures, by melt
ing contiguous parts. The obvious
tendency Of the ice under the pres
sure from above is thus, by a series
of MEETINGS and refreezings, to allow
the passage Of the wire and yet re-
mains a solid block.

The Shady Side of Life.

When a man on the shady side OF
middle life has the fortitude to look
around him to note the number OF
bis old and valued friends, he Is
shocked to find so meagre is the list.
One after another has disappeared,
from no other cause than that their
physical powers, originally vigor-
ous, had succombed in the feverlsh,
and we might also say, insane battle
of life. TOO long and too diligently
have they stuck to their professional
pursuits, or have been fascinated by
the allurements of society, taking
relaxation by fits and starts, and
seeming under tho impression that
thew have u long career before them.
Having realized fair competency,
they might as well ask themselves
why they continue to toll, to spe,cu-
late, and to rack their brains, when
a life of comparative ease and retiec-
tion would, in all respects, be more
becoming. This is exactly the ques-
ton, however, which they never put

Pity for a Lonely Young Man.

0. w. Holmes, in the May atlantic,
writes as follows: 81 know nothing
in the world tenderer than the pity
than a kindhearted young girl has
for a young man that feels lonely.
It is true that these dear creatures
are all compassion for every form of
human woe, and anxious to alleviate
all human misfortunes. They will

their brothers are afraid of, to teach
the most unpleasant and intractable
classes of little children the age of

They will stand behind table at a
fair all day until they are ready to
drop, dressed in their prettiest
clothes and their sweetest smiles and
lay hands upon you, like so many
would be Potiphars-perfectly cor
rect ones of course-to make you
buy what you do not want, at prices
which you cannot afford; all this as

Hints on Health.

Coarse bred is better for children
than fine. Children should sleep III
separate bsds, and should not wear
night-caps. Children under seven
years OF age should not be confined
over six or seven hours in the house,
and that time should be broken by
frequent recesses. Children and
young people must be made to hold
their heads up and their shoulders
back, while sitting, standing or walk
ing. The best beds for children are
of hair and cotton. From one to
one pound and a half of solid foods
sufficient for person in the ordina-
ry avocat;on Of business. Pers us
in sedentary employments should
drop one-third of their food, and
they will escape indigestion. Young
persons should exercise at least two
hours a day in the open air, Young
ladies should be prevented from
bandaging the chest We have
known the worst disease, termina-
ting in death, which began in this
practice. Reading aloud is condu
Give to health. The more clothing
we wear, other things being equal
the less food we need. Sleeping
rooms should have fireplace, OF
some mode of ventilation besides the
windows. Young people aud Others
cannot study much by lamplighi

One part of the Sunday service in
the Spanish navy is to read the penal
code. This formality has just been
accomplished recently, on the Fero-
lando, a war fri gate, when Louis Co.
darro, the second in command, cried
out, God save the King" which
met with a mute response. A sec
ond and third time he primed
cheer for Amadeus, without develop
ing any more enthusiasm. Burning
with rage at this result, he ordered
the whole crew to be decimated,
which was carried out to the letter

unfortunate upon whom fellthe fatal
number 10 was taken out OF the
ranks and received 100 lashes. This
barbarous sentence was executed in
the presence of and to the manifest
disgust of the officers, who, as well
as the poor sailors, had refused to
join in the cry Of "God save the
King"
