The excessive hot weather which prevails dur-

labor in the sun to take precautions that may pre-
vent sun stroke. A hat should always be worn
on the head, inside of which wet rag, or sponge,
or handkerchief should always be carried. This
is certain preventive, if not neglected. The
handkerchief should be kept constantly moist.
In excessive hot weather, horses frequently
suffer ~ much men. When practicable, q
large bunch Of leaves should be fastened in the
head-stall every day. When this cannot be con-
venfly done, wet rag or sponge should be fas-

There is no remedy for sun stroke or lightning
better than Immediately dashing cold water over
the head and body so attacked, aud placing mus.
tard poultiees, blisters, or horse rsdish leaves
dipped in hot water, If nothing better is at hand,
on the back of the neck, the wrists, ankles, and

Mr.. EDITOR; In reading in your pa
Der of the 18Th. inst, an article headed,
Credit Mobelier BY Il. NJ. Webster, |
was somewhat SURPRISED at the endeavor
made by him to throw the cloak of
charity over the shoulders Of ColE.x &
Co. the wholesale robbers of the ma
tions wealth which the people of the
country have toiled to accumulate since
the foundation of our Government.
Had those men shown any sign of
repentance, or had they even in part
made restitution to their. country for
the betrayal of the trust raposed in
them, then indeed it might be well aud
all true Christians would be compelled
to throw the garb Of charity over any
and all true penitants.
But such is not the case, for Shy
lock like, they must have their pound
of flesh, and still hold on to this ill
gotten gain under these circumstan-
ces they are not entitled to the silence
OF the Press, or of Politicians, no mat
ter what their standing.
| would most respectfully ask the
gentleman to review his letter of the
18th Of June last, (Which appeared in
your columns) and compare his chari-
table feelings towards his fellow passen-
sers in stage, where he ridiculed
some because they did not come up to
his standard Of intelligence and 9TH
ers for using profane or obscene Ian
guage or perhaps both, were likercd
unto dogs and swine.
1t would appear by the gentlemans'
style Of writing, that only church going
Of Congress or those in
places Of trust are entitled to the char
ity Of oar silence.
Yet the law Of our country makes
the receiver OF stolen goods as bad as
tac thief and Furnishes him fol his part
i'll the theft as we'll the principal.
VIII not public opinion apply that
rule Of law and justice to those who.
through mistaken view Of charity,
endeayor to cover up the sins Of unrc-
pcntant thieves and hypocrites?
Respectfully Yours 5 Y. G..

Wit and hnnor are sci, to be dis
tinguishel by the first being a. pfolu3-
ton Of art and the latter of nature.
Wit Is more allied to intellect and hu-
NOR to imagination. Humor is a high

wit. 1t is combination Of the laugh
able with tenderness. sympathy that
warm heartcdneSs. Pure Wit is often
iilnatureI and has a sting but wit,
sweetena4 by kind. loving expression
becomes humor Wit is usually brief,
sharp, epigrammatic and incisivc, the
fewer words the better; bat humor

in all sorts Of husk8 and Shells,
hard, sharp, witherel and dead, God
sees \ goodness we are all missing, and
counts an1 treasures it in the granarv
of heaven We think Of Him too
much as one walking through the
world locking only for the best, and
rejecting with aversion Whist is not the
best. | tell you when He goes forth
with His reapers to gather His harvest
He looks as lovingly now as once He
looked through the eyes Of Christ His
Son for al thee good th5r is everywhere.
There may be only single grain in
October where lie puts in a grain in
March; He bids His angels gather
that as carefully as if it were a humid
red fold.
Our idea of Humanity is chat it
should cone to its end like corn fully
ripe, or the apples that are only per-
fectcd in the frost, and We almost lay
it up as Il gruds sc against Heaven that
we cannot have it SO. But ever since
the world was, Humanity has had the
long ripening. Delicate blossoms have
bIoomed in the Spring that could never
live till Simmer: little children, the
snow-drops Of the year; young men
and mailens, the early summer fruit
strong men in their prime, perfected in
August. So the harvest Of Humanity
has grown ani been gathered from first
to last.
1t is hard to see through our tears
this can be the divine way with us,
and the most blessed way Heaven could
contrive for our blessing. Bat with
little children in Heaven that passed
away like snow drops, and youth that
ripened in its June, and true friends
and kinsfolk that were perfected III
their August and left me to wait for
the early or later Autumn, or the win
ter, [ cling to the conviction that the
long ripening was the divinest |
would have kept them all; my heart
aches for them with an intolerable long
ing sometimes | wonder how it can
be that God will be justified when He
speaks to me of His perfect providence
and infinite love in taking these from
me. He will not argue lie will not
ask what | think my wife would have
been, had they never come to bless me
in their season, and then TO be taken
away. 1t will be all right when 1t
comes to that,-Collysr
