Mysterious Influences.

Persons sometimes feel remarkably well,
the appetite is vigorous, eating is Joy,
digestion is vigorous, sleep sound, with an
alacrity of body and an exhilaration Of
spirits which altogether throw charm
over life that makes us pleased with every
body and everything. Next week, to-
morrow, in an hour, a marvellous change
comes over the spirit of the dream; the
sunshine has gone, clouds parted, darkness
covers the face of the great deep, and the
old man, body and soul willis away like a
flower without water in midsummer
When the weather is cool, clear, and
bracing, the atmosphere is full of electrici-
ty; when it is sultry and moist and without
sunshine, it holds but small amount of
electricity comparatively speaking, and we
have to give up what little we have,
moisture being good conductor; thus, in
giving up instead of receiving more, as we
would from the cool, pure air, the change
Is too great, and the whole man languishes.
Many became uneasy under these circum-
stances-''they can't account for it," they
imagine that evil is impending, and
resort at once to tonics and stimulants.
The tonics only increase the appetite with
out imparting any additional power to
work up the additional food, thus giving
the system more work to do, instead Of
less. Stimulants seem to give more
strength; they wake up the circulation, but
it is only temporarily, and unless a new
supply is soon taken, the system runs
further down than it would have done
without the stimulant; hence it is in
a worse condition than if none had
been taken. The better course would be
to rest, take nothing but cooling fruits,
berries, and melons, and some acid drink
when thirsty, adding, if desired, some cold
bread.and-butter; the very next morning
will bring a welcome change. Halls

CLEANING STovEs.-Stove lustrc, when

will make it look as well as new.

The striking difference between young
man and young woman is illustrated BY

The people are displeased with every
department Of the National Government:
The salary grabbing President, the corrupt
Congress, the packed Judiciary. They are
alarmed at the rapid and constant increase
Of expenditure in every department Of
Government, an increase which they inter
pret as meaning prodigacy or dishonesty.
They view with equal alarm the corruption
and subseryiency Of the Judiciary and the
interference Of Federal authorities in State
affairs. Il does not please them TO hear
preached the doctrine that the servant is
greater than his lord, and that the Office
holders are to be considered an aristccracy,
entitled to luxuries, immunities, and re-
muneration far exceeding those enjoyed
BY the citizens whose work they should de.

The British were so much pleased with
the capture Of Louisburg from the French

and paraded through the streets. This
unique procession consisted Of twenty
seven cart loads Of coin---seventeen carts

said land whenever plaintiff should refund said
money with twelve per cent. interest; and that de-
