FOOD.

There is no country where there
is 50 much dyspepsia as in America,
because our people pay so little at
tcntion to food and eat too much
meat for the exercise they take. II
one has mental labor, fish every
second day at least is requisite
Soup sets all the glands at work,
and prepares the stomach for the
more important functions Of digcs-
ton, and, therefore should be taken
at dinner every day. Beef broth is
TO the old what milk is TO the young.
Cookery properly attended, keeps
a man in health. If the stomach
is out Of order, the brain is affect
ed. We should eat more fruit, veg
tables, soup and fish. Good and
wcll-prcparcd food beauties the
physique, the same as good and well
directed education beauties the
mind. Wrinkles are produced by
want of the variety Of food. The
man who docs not use his brain TO
select and prepare his food is not
above the brutcs, which take it in a
raw state.

"FATHER, | STEP IN ALL
YOUR TRACKS,"

One bright winters morning, al.
terra snowNorm, a father took his
hat for a walk to attend to some
farm affairs requiring attention.
As he started his little boy Of five
summers also snatchcd his hat, and
followed the father with mock dig
nifty. and an assumed business like
air. When they reached the door
the gentleman noticed that no trick
or pathway had been made in the
snow. and he hesitatcd about letting
his boy follow him. But the soft,
hcccy snow looked so tempting, SO
pcarly white, that he concluded to
allow the child to walk after him.
He took short strides through the
untrodden snow, when suddenly re-
membering his little boy he paused,
looked back for him, and eXclaim-
ed
SWELL, my son, don't you find it
hard work TO walk in this deep
snow 2
"Oh, no." said the boy. I'm com
ing; for, father, step in all your
tracks"
True enough, the dear child was
planting his tiny feet just where the
parent had trodden. The child's re-

With our banners aloft in the midst of the

And our hearts and our hands in the conflict we
Til our trophies OF triumph we carry away
Lo the reveile calls us from slumber and rect,
And the claim of freedom the solemn behest
Bids the warrior advance--bnt he never must

We will fight on the line for the Uuion we love,
For the sake of the men who baptised it with

For the blessings that beam from the Father
For the elories that circle Its century years
Not link shall we loose in this wonderful chain.
That has bound US as one IN the strongest OF
Not star shall we loose-not valley or plain,
But shall join in the songs that roll up to the

account Of terrible accident from
damps near Bryant, Clinton county,
which has some resemblance to the
terrible affair happened in our couu.
ty last year, Henry Brusc, farmer
was deepening well on his prem,
Uses. A Blast failing to discharge,
he decended into the well to ascer-
tain the cause. When he was in the
well before he had no difficulty in
breathing, but this time he had not
been lower than half way to the bot
tom, before he cried to the parties
at the MINDLESS to pull him mp.
They did so, but he was so weak be-
fore he reached the top, that his
grssp of the roap relaxed, and fell
he to the bottom, a distance of eigh-
teen feet. A young man named Da-
vid Wilson decendep after Mr..
Kruse, and had been lowered about
ten feet, when he, too, lost his hold
of the rope, and fell to the bottom.
A brother David, never thinking that
foul air was the cause of the acct
dent he had witnessed, went down
and had retaine ed strength until he
had got near the bottum, when he
cried for help. He Mas taken out,
and it was only by the most strenu.
Gus exertions on the part of a physi-
clan who was summoned that he was
brought to. When Mr.. Kruse's
body was raised, it was discovered
that HE skull was crushed and that
his neck was broken. David Will
son was considerably bruised, but it
was evident that he died from as
phyxia.

CREELEY'S LETTER OF ACCEPT
---- ANCE. ------ --L 80
from the Chicago Post

[From the Chicago Post.
Mr.. Greeley gratefully accepted
the Democratic nomination from the
Baltimore Convention yesterday. He
said he was glad to get it, but wept
when he reflected that his motives
were misconstrued by his old friends.
He intim ated that he would write a
letter, which is as follows: .ts

CONVENTION: 1t is the happiest
moment of my life when 1 am in

lot of thieves, pimps, and blacklegs
as you are. AS / have frequently
remarked, you hate school houses,
and where they are pretty thin, you
are pretty thick. You are propaga.

in fostering rum-holes therefore
your apprbation fills my breast with
pride. / loathe your communicating

keeper of tipping house, is polit-

ruffianly, the criminal and dangerous
classes to the Democratic party, by
