Applying the Platform =.

Hon. John B. Baldwin, of Augusta, in
his speech in the Convention in Richmond,
gave an amusing illustration of the way in
which he applied the Cincinnati platform
and Mr.. Greeley's history. to answer the
objections of those who are opposed to his
his acceptance by the Southern people.
Mr.. Baldwin said he had lately been in
New York and bad met there several of that
class of gentleman, one of whom had ap.
preached him with very determined reso-
luton to persuade him to drop the Chappa-
qua farmer by some means or other.
Chow can you Southern men support
Greeley ?" said this anxious patriot. Don't
you remember what he has written and
said about you years ago?"
"Ah well" said Mr.. Baldwin, 1--WE have
granted him a general amnesty for that"
''But," continued he, "you must remem.
Der his course during the war. 1t is i'm.
possible you can support him after that"
$50 it would be, but we have removed
his disabilities"
"But my dear sir, he cannot possibly be
elected, and you are putting yourself in a
bad position by supporting man who will
surely be beaten"
"Well, we don't know how that may turn
out" wound up Mr.. Baldwin, "but anyhow
ave haze gone on his bond"
And the solicitor decamped.

A MorHER's INFLUENCE solid rock
which turns the edge of the chisel bears
forever the impress Of the leaf and the acorn,
received long, long since, ere it had become
hardened by time and the elements. If we
trace back to the fountain the mighty tor
rent which fertilizes the land with its copi-
GUS stream, or sweeps over it with devast-
ing flood, we shall find it dripping in crys-
tai drops from some messy orevice among
the distant hills. So, too, the gentle feel
ings and affections that enrich and adorn
the heart, and the mighty passions that
sweep away all barriers Of the soul and des-
olate society, may have sprung up in the
infant bosom in the sheltered retirement Of
home. Il should have been an atheist, y
said John Randolph, eff it had not been for
one recollection and that was the memory
Of the time my departed mother used to take
my little hand in hers. and caused me, on
my knees, to say, "Our Father. which arr
in heaven"

The Sea at Three Miles Depth.

The Sea at Three Miles Depth.
The submarine investigations carried on
at government expense, nnder the direction
OF the British Association of science, have
disclosed some most interesting facts in re-
gard to the bottom of the sea.
These researches have been carried on by
means of simple dredge-a rectangular
iron frame, forming the mouth of a bag of
netting which is protected from wear by a
leather or canvass flap. The whole apara-
tus attached to rope of suitable length, is
dropped to the bottom of the sea and drag
ged along to certain distance, scraping off
the superficial layer of mud and sand into
the bag, the meshes of which permit the dirt
to be washed through, while the larger sub.
stances are retained and brought up.
The depth at which the bottom of the sea
has been thus explored has been really enor-
nous, amounting in one instance to more
than three miles, far exceeding that of any
previous experiment with the dredge, though
small quantities Of sea bottom have been
brought up from equally great distances
from the surface by means of the sounding
line
At this depth many species Of marine an
irnals have been found, some entirely new
and others rare, and the temperature at the
bottom indicated about thirty-six degrees.
The surface water is shown to be affected by
the heat of the sun only to depth of about
twenty fathoms, but the Gulf stream influ-
ences the degree of heat to further depth
Of five to seven hundred fathoms.

It is q bad sign in any community to have
few children. It does not speak well for
the high health Of any family in which there
are no children, if family can at all be
considered to exist without children It is
a very bad moral symptom where children
are not desired. Children are sanitary,
are discipline, are a means of grace
are ''hope Of glory" They are
the most important members of the family.
The older members work for them, not they
for their seniors. They live like lilies,
clothed without care. They are little kings
and queens, truly and legitimately, ''by the
grace of God"

''It isn't hard work when I do it 70,

DYsENrERY.-As this disease prevails at
this season, we copy the following remedy:
A spoonful or two Of pure raw wheat -four
thinned with water so it can easily be
drunk. Three or four doses taken at inter-
walls Of ten or twelve hours will cure any
case not absolutely chronic; and from what
l have witnessed, I feel sure it is one of the
best remedies in the world for chronic dis
eases. To make the dose palatable for chill
dren it can be sweetened and favored with
some drops not acid.

with lath sides and movable top, but SO ar
ranged that the fowls cannot displace it, is

ter trough may be placed, removed at pleas
ure, and efectually protected. The same
kind of arrangement will answer we'll as
