The Bright Side.

The bright side is the right side to
look upon at all times. The times
may be hard, but it will make them no
easier to wear gloomy and sad codnte-
nance. 1t is the sunshine, and not the
cloud, that makes the flower. The sky
is blue ten times where it is black once.
You have troubles, so have others.
None are free from them. Troubles
give sinew and tone to liie-fortitude
and courage to man. That would be q
dull sea, and the sailor would never get
skill, where there was nothing to dis
turb the surface of the ocean. What
though things look little Gark, the
lane will turn and night will end in
broad day. There is more virtue in one
sunbeam than a whole hemisphere Of
clouds and gloom.

The Democratic State Executive M
mtttee issues the following sddyI8 TO
the Democracy of Ohio I:
"The result Of last Tuesdays cleo
tion shows that Ohio was lost BY the
failure to poll the usual Democratic
votes. Notifying as is the fact, Justice
to the Liberal Republicans, and an ear
nest desire to retrieve the misfortune,
require us to declare it. In our chief
towns, the Liberal strength exceeded
our most sanguine estimates. In the
country it fell short but the aggregate
of the Liberals in city and country who
voted our State ticket, added tc the
Democratic vote of 1858, would have
overcome the Republican majority at
that election and the negro vote COM
bined and given us victory, Can we re-
pair the mischief? We can. Four
fifths of the Democrats who staid at
nome last Tuesday can be induced to
vote for Greeley in November. Those
who will absolutely refuse to go to the
polls will be counterbalanced by those
Republicans who went against us last
Tuesday but will vote for Greeley. We
have only to poll our usual Democratic
vote to snatch from defeat q glorious
victory. The Liberals stretch forth the
hand shall we refuse to take it? The
PROSTATE and plundered South cries out
for help; shall we be deaf to their ap-
peal?
"By Greelsy's election we can restore
prosperity and good government TO the
South, kind feeling to the now hostile
sections, honesty and honor to the clvli
service, respect to the Constitution and
laws to the national Administration
Could we do more with Democrat in
the Presidency? Could he expect that
cooperation in Congress which Mr..
Greeley would command? Are patriot
ic Democrats willing to lose all benefi-
cial results of victory out Of personal
hostility to Greeley, or disgraceful leth-
argy: Are Ohio Democrats ready to
let our yet pure and proud State be-
come debauched and hopelessly sublu-
gated, like Pennsylvania, by hordes OF
mercenaries paid by public plunder.
Fellow Democrats, our union with
the Liberals in Ohio has not been fruit
less. 1t has given us Hamilt n county
by near 5000 majority, which secures
the Constitutional Convention and the
Legislature and q United States Sena-
tor next year, if we make brave fight
this fall. Should both Ohio and Penn
sylvania go for Grant, the chances are
still in favor of Greeley's election. Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey and In
diana, added to those Border and
Southern States which are certain for
Greeley, will give him clear majority.
We have already, by vigorous and ag-
gressive fight, forced the Grant party
to its knees, and can conquer 1t IN No
vember. Fellow-Democrats, work tall
November heartily and hopefully. Tho
Liberals will take care OF themselves:
Let every Democratic county commit
tee get q list of those Democrats In each
who failed to vote last Tues
day, and direct its efforts to them.
Bring out this laggard vote. and the
fight is won in Ohio and the Republic.

complicated piece of machinery, yet
acting with the greatest of freedom,
and with a degree of precision un-

And the component parts of which we
are made are no less wonderful than
the general machine itself; and the
manner in which they work together,
producing or preventing certain effects,
or results, is even more wonderful ill.

we have before us a person weighing

The Weather of 1872, Past and to
Come

The weather of 1872 presents, thus
far, q MARI ed contrast to that of the
two years preceding. Those years
were characterized by q rainfall far
less than the general average all over
the civilized world, and by unusual
elevations of temperature, due to O
diminished evaporation from the
ground. This spring has been marked
land-surface of the globe, so far as
heard from. The eastern states, which
suffered from lack of rain in 1870 and
1871, even more than most parts of the
Northwest, have had n abundance
of pluvial blessings within the last lew
weeks. The same Is true of the SOUTH
ern part of Illinois, and also in Iowa,
where many wells are now full for the
first time in a score of months. As
with rain, so with temperature, the
two being. i'm fact, very closely con-
nected. The water came down freely
in the shape of snow, in many por.
tons of Europe, and the spring was
a very backward one in all the cereal.
producing climes. To this we may
add that earthquakes and tornadoes
have been unusually frequent, with
attendant volcanic eruptiOns, and we
have q great mass of meteorological
fact which places the first half of 1872
in marked contrast with 1870 and 1871,
in many important pOints,-mOst I'M
portant, as they bear directly on the
general welfare of humanity. The
obvious inference to be drawn from a
consideration Of these facts is, that the
present year is one OF compensation.
Long before the movements OF the at
mosphere could be intelligently watch
ed, Still less predicted, the law OF gen
eral averages was reasoned out and
applied to meteorological conditions.
The average temperature or rainfall
at any particular point, ascertained by
the observations of a series of years, is
found to hold good for a subsequent
series; hence, if one particular year
presents a meteorological excess, an
restore the mean and keep up the gen.
ersl average. 1t is true that we can
not, af yet, always tell in advance
when these compensations will occur
but we are none the less certain that
they belong to the established order of
nature. The atmospheric conditions,
thus far, point to 1872 as the year that
shall compensate for the unusual dry
ness of 1870 and 1871, and we are,
therefore. justified in expecting that,
while the present summer will be
spasmOdicaliy hot, with perhaps q
couple of months in which but little
rain will fall, it will be followed by
wet autumn, somewhat similar to that
of 1866, with its attendant physical
prostraticns, and possible damage to
the matured but unharvested crops in
many parts Of the dvilised world.

Taking Cold in Warm Weather

Many people think there is no
danger of taking cold when the
weather is very warm, and expose
themselves in various ways when
overheated, fatigued or sweaty. This
is an erroneous ldea-destructive to
life and health. When the system IS
tatigucd with exercise, .oyerheated or
sweating, great caution is necessary
to guard against taking cold. Some
people say they never take cold, and
have no fear of taking cold. But
are they never i'll in some form ? O
yes but they do not cough, and con
cludo they do not take cold,
Colds do not affect all people
alike All do not cough that have
been exposed to cold but the in
sensible perspiration can not be sud-
denly checked without injury to
people and animals. Hence it is
dangerous to drink cold drinks when
one sits down to rest, though if ex-
ercise is continued, they may be par.
taken OF i'll small quantities with
benefit. The systems of men and
animals that exercise must not be
rapidly but gradually cooled.
Horses ought not to be watered
when about to stop exercise, either
in warm. or cold weather. This
practice subjects them to disease,
and Often destroys their lives.
More than twenty-five years since,
| read in Cutters Physiology" that
when people were warm with exer-
else, or from other cause, they ought
to throw something over their shoul-
ders on sitting down to rest. An
observance of this rule has, | am
satisfied, saved me much sickness.
If men would put on coat when
resting, or after work at night, it
would cave them many bad feelings,
sickness. and sometimes death.
