It, support onr laws and constitution.
So may we reasonably expect.
If we our youth should thus direct.
That this our blest republic nation
Nav have 9 very long duration
Now to the fair-My dearest friends.
On yosi there surely much depends
1t is fact, well known truth,
That you instruct our rising youth.
Their first instructions they receive
Exactly as you please to give.
If you direct in virtues ways,
we'll look for future happy days.
If you neglect this wen known duty,
In vain their growth, in vain their beauty:
In vain instructions man can use.
For they will sadly them abuse
There's naught on earth that can prevent
Destruction to this government,
But virtue that is we'll refin'd ,fsIa
Established in the youthful mind.
Teach them to live peaceful life,
Discourage all domestic strife. lrH
And hand down virtues like tradition
From one to another generation.
IF so, think Pm almost sure
That whether rich, or whether poor,
Whether great, or whether small, f
They will be happy one and all; ,f;
And generations yet unborn,
This fair, this happy land adorn. p iA54'

Whatever renders the blood impure
tends to originate and foster consump-
ton; and whatever makes the air inn
pure makes the blood impure, for it
is the air or breath which purifies the
blood. This is, no theory, but a fact
as well known as the effect of the sum
shiue. 1t is precisely the same as in
the instance of the use of water for
purifying purposesI if the water
which we use. to wash our clothing
be foul and dirty, it is impossible to
wash the clothing clean, and just SO,
if the air we breathe be impure, it is
impossible for it to abstract the impa-
rites from the blood. Air and wa
ter are very similar in several pela-
tions; thus it is the nature ofstill wa
ter to. become impure, and exactly the
same IN the fact with still air. Run
ming water also purifles itself; SO
with air In motian--+drafts of air are
self-purifiers therefore it Is that the
air Of a close room must Inevitably be-
come impure, and thus close, urlven-
tilated apartments are breeding con-
sumption constantly. That all rooms
should have current of air passing
through them, is simple sanitary
necessity which cannot be too strong-
iy insisted upon. .....y...5., e.

ABOUT 4 GOLD WATCH.

afternoon, while Mr. John Cuthbertson, IN at

office, No. SO North Clark street, he observed q
we]l-dressed gentleman, accompanied by we'll
dressed lady, stoop down and pick up gold
watch, at the corner Of Michigan and Clark
streets. He pocketed the timepiece, and then
turned north on Clark street with the lady. Mr.
Cuthbertson, thinking that some wrong might
but failed to find one. He met Detective Dar-
he had seen, started with him to find the lady
and gentleman. The latter we're overtaken at
the corner OF Indiana and Clark streets. Mr.
Cuthbertson pointed out the man to the officer.
Dargan accused him Of having the watch
in his possession. He denied it, and,
producing silver watch. said that that Was the
only watch he had. and that it WAS bis own. He
also produced pocket-Anife, and stated that it
vas that which he had picked up. Mr. Cuth-
bertson told the officer that the man had put the
watch into the left-hand pocket of his coat, and
demanded that he be arrested Dargan accord
ing1y took him into custody, and brought him to
the Dearborn Street Police Station, where he
was searched The watch YVES found in his pos
session, as nlr. Cuthbertson stated. He gave his
name as Captain Older, and said he resided on
North Halsted street. After the watch was sur
rendered to Captain Gund, he allowed the other
Captain to depart. The watch is now in the
vault Of the Custodian Of Stolen Property, and
has attached to it tag setting forth that it was

also my duty. think 1 know how to receive re-
porters, now. When I was first addressed by
one in San Francisco, I guess I rather stunned
him by my excessive dignity. wondered how a
man could be so bold. But see how it is now.
Like ne, you arc in sense driven to it, and
am glad You came.
Reporter-I am very happy to have met you,
Airs. Miller, and trust You may be greeted with a
full house, if you lecture in the city.
Mrs. Miller-1 thank you; hope shall. It

rafy on the farm, and maintain

was to be given to150 patients. In August: 1871,
