Nowhere is well-bred courtesy, or
the lack Of ii, more observed than
in travelling. On the steamboat and
in the cars the quiet observer easily
detects those who have been edu-
Gated under refined influences, or
those who, without special cultiva-
ton, are possessed of native polite
ness. Ii is not education alone, nor
wealth, nor high social position, nor
costly trapping, that makes one a
pleasant travelling companion. There
must exist q kindness of feeling to-
ward strangers, a general recogRi-
tiOn of equal rights in the comforts
and cOnveniences provided for the
public, and qUickened discernment
for the needs OF others. The gen.
tleman who sprasds out his luggage

To cure Geld Feet.

To keep the feet always warm
is indispensable to good health. No
one can be well long whose feet are
habitually cold. We can never die
by disease as leng as the feet are
warm. Many ailments cause cold
feet originate severe and serious
malAdies, so that in either case the
ability to secure warm feet is an i'm
portAnt step toward health.
Warm stockings and loose-fitting
shoes are indispensable and not less
so is scrupulous cleanliness, so that
when the feet are inclined to be
cold we are in the habit of advising
that they should be washed every
morning in cold water, winter and
summer. This is the manner: Be-
fore dressing, dip them in water of
the temperature of the chamber,
nearly ankle deep, both in at the
once, for minute in summer, and
half minute in winter, rubbing
them rapidly with the hands all the
time. Next wipe dry instantly,
with = coarse towel, Wiping hard
enough TO cause some redness, and
If practicable dry them with the
hand until they feel perfectly dry
and warm in every part, then draw
on the stockings. Once q week at
least, at bed time, the feet should be
soaked a quarter OF an hour in hot
water, and then with soap and
brush scrub thoroughly; then an
instantaneous dipping into 3 bucket
OF cold water, dry as above, and re-
tire. No one can sleep we'll with
cold feet even in hot beds. Indians
and hunters are said to sleep well
with feet to the 1re. 1t should be
an invAriable custom. at least during
FIRE time of the year, to draw on
shoes aud stockings the last thing
before retiring, and hold the feet
close to good fire, rubbing with
the hands ali the time, especially at
the heels aud toes, which are the
places most difficult to dry. This
will be found an exceedingly COM
Portable operation, and will amply
pay for the HdlPS 10 ar
nal Of Health.

Ou searching, I found a better oas

YOU lose i'm honest expression OF
YOUR meaning, and in the estimS-
tiOn of all men who are competent
TO judge, yOu lose in reputation for

The only true way TO shine, even
in this false world, is to be modest
and unassHninE. FalsehoOd may be
a very thick crust, but in the course
OF time will end place to break
through. Elegance of language
may not be in the power Of all of us,
but simplicity and Straightforward

Write much a. you would speak,

inferior, speak no cOarser than uEu-

Be what you say, and within the
rules of prudence. No one ever

"ChndIess from Chiocs.,

We extract from a touchingly
truthful article from the pen of Car
| rie +. Young, of the Pacific Jour
/ nal Of Health, the following words
on this painful theme. The picture
is drawn in Oregon:
Only silence and vacancy, and bar
renness! We contrasted this stArV-
| ed, vacant, poVerty-stFicksn house
surrounded by flocks and herds, and
broad acres, silently set in a frame
of evergreen, fir-flinged hills, re-
lieved by grand mountains, snow
capped and clOud-crowned, lying
against the blue sky-with the thou
sands of little nests of humble
homes, where children were gladly
welcomed and lovingly cherished.
We see them in the morning, dim
pied, and Growing with delight.
Baby'S fat hands grasping the rattle
box, or reaching for the sunshine.
Little Esther, peeping through the
| pickets at the chickens. Arthur
helping about breakfast. Willie
bringing chips and planning a kite.
Eddie and Renic geRtlinS the colts
and cows. All busy as bees; all
dearly loved and loving. True, the
day brings toll and self-denial; but
the night folds its gray mantle over
a harmonious household, whose
fat her and mother-the united head
can feel their dependence, as chill
dren, upon the dear Heavenly Faith
er, and are far happier than any
childless family in the world.
Mothers, who desire their chill
dren and live inharmonious, loving
relations, very generally have bet
! ter health than those who do not
have children. They have greater
powers of endurance, more genius,
more ambition, more pride, more
self-respect, more hope for the fu-
ture, more joy in the present. When
old age comes, they will be more re-
spected and beloved, more self-re-
/ spected and loving.
Mrs. Susan Il. Anthony still clings
to her little cell aud refuses to give
| bail. She is one of those women
who should
bring forth men children only.
| For her undaunted metal should
| Compose naHght but males,"

HENDERSON, Ky, Aug, 1872.
/ Geo. NJ. Priest, Esq, President South Ky.
Railroad Company:
DEAR SIR: At your request,
while on a recent trip to California
and the West, examined the Dem
yer and Rio Grande Narrow Gauge
railroad. 1 travelled on it a dis
tance in all Of $50 miles-out to Col
orado springs, rs miles and return
and found it in all respects as COM
Portable to the traveller as the wide
| gauge, running as smooth, if not
smoother, than any road l ever
travelled on. The distance (75
miles) is made each way in about 4
hours, including many stoppages.-
They have no rail connections to
make, and as a consequence do not
attempt to make the fastest time
l am satisfied, however, that speed
can be made whenever necessary,
equal to the wants of any section of
the country, and equal to the aver
age speed of the wide gauge roads,
and with quite as much comfort
and safety. My observation also
convinced me that the cost of ope-
rating the narrow gauge must be
far less than on the wide gauge
roads. In short, believe that the
new system is entitled to, and has,
all the advantages claimed for it by
its most jealous supporters, and
that it is in fact the true, or "com-
mon sense" gauge.
also believe that it presents to
the people here and along the line of
your proposed road an oppOrtuni-
ty to develop their resources and
build themselves up, that as pru-
dent, sensible people, they cannot
afford TO reject
Yours truly,
E. w. WORSHAM.
In speaking of a ride over the
Denver and Rio Grande road, Mr..
Ingle says:
The company processes to be
highly gratitied at its choice of
gauge, which is only three feet, the
driving wheels of its engines three
feet, its coaches hold thirty-two
passengers and its freight cars car
ry seven to nine tons.
i'll were going to build a railroad
from Henderson southwark, L
should adopt this gauge for econo-
my. A mar
row gauge read with q single track
will do with ease and convenience,
more business than the Evansville
and Crawlordville railroad has ev-
er had thrown upon it in the busi-
est season. Yes, double the traffic
which the Evansville and Craw-
fordsville road now does.
If the Evansville and Crawfords-
Vile road had been judiciously built
of three feet gauge, it would have
had good returns all the while on
the whole investment, whereas, as
a broad gauge road, its stockhold-
ers have never got a dividend. Its
stock is, say $1,000,000, and would
as narrow gauge railroad have
paid seven per cent. dividend at
least, which would have amounted
to near 81, 100000, which has all
been lost by the stockholders. The
transfer from the broad to the mar
row gauge and vice versa would be
but small cost compared with the
loss of money on the broad gauge.
Very truly yours,
JOHN INGLE, Jr.

THE S u N.
WEEKLY, SEMI. WEEKLY, AND
DAILY.

THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely
known to require any extended reconl-
mendation; but the reasons which have
already given it fifty thousand subscrl5
bers, and which will, we hope, give it
many thousands more, are briefly as
follows:
l. is'a first rate newspaper. All the
news of the day will be found in it, COLI
densed when uninportant, at full length
when of moment, and always presented
in clear, Ineligible, and interesting
manner.
1t Is tirst-rate family paper, full of
entertaining and instructive reading OF
every kind, but containing nothing that
can offend the most delicate and scrupu-
lous taste.
1t is u tirst-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances Of current literature
are carefully selected and legibly printed
in its pages.
1t is first rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on
agricultural topics regularly appear in
this department.
1t is an Independent political paper,
belonging to no party and wearing no
collar. 1t fights for principle, and for the
election of the best men to office. It es
pecially devotes its energies to the ex-
posure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and
threaten to undermine republican insti-
tutions altogether. It has no fear Of
knaves, and asks no favors from their
supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies
and the markets for the men, especially
the cattle markets, to which it pays par
ticular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper pub
lished. One dollar year will secure it
for any subscriber. It is not necessary
to get up club in order to have THE
WEEKLY SUN ut this rate. Any one
who sends single dollar will get the
paper for year.
We have no travelling agents.

fifty-six columns. Only Sl.OO year.
