A WORD TO THE WISE,

How strange it is that some persons
who write communications for the
newspapers and expect their publication
can never learn that their articles
should be written on but one side OF
the paper and that their names should
always accompany their letters. 1t IS
extremely inconvenient to set type for
an article that is written on both sides
Of the sheet, because the copy cannot
be cut into pieces for the several COM
positors without mutilsting one side or
the other. and no prudent editor will
publish a communication on any sub
ject whatever without knowing the
authors name. These rules have been
reiterated and explained again and
again, and yet correspondents who vio-
late one or both Of them are frequently
offended because their letters are not
published. We are always glad to re-
ceive and willing to publish short and
pertinent articles from our readers in
relation to any topic of public interest,
and desire to make our columns a
vehicle of public opinion, but we must
positively insist upon compliance with
the usual rules of such correspondence.

Warming Words.

The strength and nervous energy OF the
human body ought to be increased during
the winter, for two reasons: In the first
place, diseases of the most deadly character
may be generated at this season; and Sec
ondly, 1t is of the utmost importance that
during the cold weather months the system
should be put in a condition to Withstand
the effects of the spring miasma, and the
subsequent depressing heat of summer. 1t
is, therefore, advisable, in fact essential, to
tone, regulate and invigorate the digestive
and secretive organs at this period Of the
wear, and Of all the stomachics and altera.
lives at present known, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Is the most powerful, the most harm
less, and the most agreeable. The tempera-
ture Of winter would be In itself glorious
tonic, ifit did not unfortunately, bring with
II volume Of chilling moisture and I'M
wholesome winds, which have bad effect
on the skin and lungs. These must be guard
cd against, or there Is no security for health
The effect Of course of the Bitters is to give
vigor and tone to the entire organization
the superficial muscles and nerves. as well
as the Internal viscera. A regular habit OF
body IA healthy and natural flow of bile, an
active digestion, q good appetite, pure blood,
and vigorous circulation OF that fluid, are
among the ble.sings derivable from persist
ent use OF Hostetters Stomach bitters, which
not only more than supplies the place
of the best tonics, cathartics and antisepdcs
prescribed in their separate forms by physi-
clans, but perform the three-fold work OF
IMMIGRATION, regulation and publication,
at one and the same time.

"HRARrH AND HoMK"-which, BY the

HEARTH AND HoMK"-which, BY the
way, is one OF the best edited Of al our
illustrated weeklies-for January 18th,
contains the following anecdote of the
late, Rev. Robert J. Breckenridge, Of
Kentucky, which has never before ap-
peared in print. 1t seems that some
member-a country brother-complain-
ed that the city clergymen dressed too
we'll, and thus made an undue distinc-
ton between themselves and their
country brethren. DR.. Breckenridge,
always ready for debate, Strengthened
his tall, 1.-THE form up, and indignantly
denied the charge" In burst Of elo-
quent anger he declared that he was
ready to change clothes with any brother
on that floor. In an instant a short,
tat brother-as short as long-waddled
into the aisle, and called out wheezily,
"Mr. Moderator, I'm his man" The
vision of DR.. Breckenridge arms and
legs protruding from the baggy clothes
of the othe-, upset the dignity of the
Presbytery, and spoiled the elo-
quence OF the speaker. This other
story OF DR.. Breckenridge, we think,
has never seen print. 1t is said that
two sons Of distinguished statesmen,
who were students in Jefferson College
at the time of DR.. BIS presidency,
went on an unhappy spree, and in the
spree get fire to an old. unused market
house. The city fathers determined to
collect damages to the amount OF eight
hundred dollars for a building not
worth three, and in order to extort this
large sum threatened the lads with i'm
prisonment. DR.. Breckenridge was
willing to have the boys punished, but
he was not willing that such an advan-
tage should be taken Of them. SO he
managed to draw from the city officials,
in the presence of witness, q promise
not to pro ,ecute the lads if their fathers
would pay eight hundred dollars
Now" said he, turning on them
fiercely, prosecute these boys If you
dare, and l shall have you punished for
offering to compound felony" And 50
no damages were ever paid.

HOW no GET TO CHARLESTON.

The trip to Charleston this winter
promises to prove much pleasanter
than that of one year ago, and no per-
son is likely to have reason for COM
plant on the score of comfort. As may
belearned from our advertising columns
this morning, the elegant and capacious
steamer st. Charles, commanded by
Capt J. T. RUSSELL, who has long been
an especial favorite with the travelling
public, will leave Wheeling next Satur-
day afternoon at 3 o'clock, and Parkers.
burg at 7 o'clock Sunday morning, con-
meeting at. Huntington on the following
morning with a train on the Chesapeake
and Ohio road, by which passengers
will reach Charleston before noon on
Monday. The railroad company has
agreed, in letter to Capt. RUSSELL, to
carry his passengers, provided they
number not less than fifty, from Hunt
ingtou to Charleston for half the usual
fare.
The steamer R. R. Hudson, which is
also as pleasant a boat to travel upon
as there is on the Ohio river, will leave
Wheeling at the same time and make
the same trip. Captain LIST will spare
no pains to secure the comfort and
convenience OF those who travel with
him.
There will thus be no lack Of trans
portation for those who desire to be
present at the opening of the session Of
the Convention, the Legislature and the
Supreme Court Of Appeals, and we
doubt not that the opportunity of max
ing a pleasant trip will be embrace ed by
many who are not members Of either
body, but who desire to see the "as-
sembled wisdom" of the State. As we
are in the receipt Of numerous inquiries
as to how to reach the permanent
seat" we make this general answer to
all.

JUDGE STORY says: "In a moral
view, the publication of private
letters, unless in cases where it is neces.
sary to the proper vindication Of the
rights or conduct OF the party against
unjust claims or injurious imputations,
is perhaps one of the most odious
branches Of private confidence, of social
duty and Of honorable feelings which
can well be imagined. 1t strikes at
the root of all that free and mutual
interchange of advice, opinions and
sentiments between relatives and friends
and correspondents which is 80 essential
to the we'll being Of society and to the
spirit of q liberal courtesy and refine
ment. 1t may involve whole families
in great distress from the public dis
play of the facts and circumstances
which were reposed to the bosoms Of
others, under the deepest and most
affecting confidence that they should
remain inviolable secrets. 1t may do
more, and compel every one in self
defense to write to his dearest friends
with the cold and formal severity with
which he would write to his wariest
opponents or his most implacable
enemy.

An EIoping Husband and u De-
termined Wife.

An ElOping Husband and u de-
termined Wife.
The late Omaha Tribune publishes
the following:
Passengers on a recent west-bound
train on the B. and NJ. railroad were
treated to an immense sensation. in a
first-class coach were man and a
woman-the former, judging from his
appearance, was about forty-ive years
of age, and evidently a working man
the woman was real pretty girl, and
not over twenty-one years old. These
two took the train at Charlton, Iowa.
Soon after leaving that station they
commenced gradually to lean toward
each other, land eyes looked love to
eyes that spake again" and for while
"all went merry as a marriage bell.
She was reposing with her head on his
shoulder, and their hands clasped
together as if they feared they would
lose each other during the night.
Their OVERLOOKING affections attracted
the attention of every other passenger
in the car. They slept sweetly, and all
unmindful that Mr.. Mans true and
legal wife was in the first car ahead OF
the one in which they were riding.
Right here we must say that Mr..
Man was clipping with the handsome
young girl. His neighbors in Charlton
knew Of the elopement before it came
of, and they raised a sum of money
with which they purchased a revolver
for Mrs. Man and railroad ticket which
would enable her to follow her run
away husband. So when they stepped
into frst,class coach at the station,
she walked into a second-class car, and
they left Charlton on the same train.
The situation can now be easily COM
pretended. Mrs. Man waited until
the train had passed two stations, when
she prepared for action, and firmly
walked into the car where the clippers
were firmly held by Morpheus. The
first thing the guilty pair knew they
were suddenly awakened, and there
stood Mrs. Man with a revolver
pointed straight at her husbands head.
The girl jumped up and rushed into the
sleeping-car, claiming protection from
the Pullman conductor, who locked
her up in a stateroom. At the next
stopping place Mrs. Man, who kept
guard over her husband, walked him
out of the train, and when they were
on the platform of the depot she actually
kicked him, beat him, stamped on him,
ana thoroughly subdued him in much
the same manner as a man gets a
vicious horse under control.
