Dyspepsia is the most perplexiug of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for

of every malady This is due, in part, to
the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part also

There is young gentleman at the age
of fourteen years and named Samuel, who
resides in the State of Michigan, and to
whom the compound word 'fy-poison' is
exceedingly unpleasant. This Samuel be-
ing some time ago called upon by his judi
eious mother to help with the churning,
felt that that exercise could not compete
with the charms of fishing, and that, in
short, he'd rather not. He announced
this candid decision, which, SO far from be-
ing appreciated by his mother, was receiv-
ed with an affectionate but reformatory slip
per-which is potent argument, almost
without rival. The churn accordingly
claimed him for its own, until during a
brief absence OF the good woman he hap
pened to perceive casual plate of fy-pol-
son and an idea. AS she entered she saw
Samuel putting the dreadful dish from his
lips and heard his tragic cry, There, moth
er, guess you won't whip me no more!
There were no shrieks, no tears, no faint
ings on the part of that noble woman. She
promptly swept Samuel into the pantry
and with the aid of the domestic, and il
/ spite of his prayers and vain confession, ad
ministered to him H.. the whites OF si1

THERE is NO DEATH. IF it be true that
Nature abhors a vacuum, it is equally true
that the Great Creator abhors death and
glories in life. There is really no such
thing as death-the term is misnomer,
used to designate the changes which occur
in life. Life, eternal life,is created by the
laws Of Almighty will-power, which are as
immutable in their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself. When
God made life, He made everything neces-
sary to sustain it, but left it for mans pro-
gressive intelligence to discover, convert

A MODEL POLITICIAN IN New JERsEY.-Tha
Democratic Convention at Trenton, N. j..
presented one anomalous feature that must
have astonished the assembled wisdom of our
neighbors considerably. They fixed their
eyes upon Judge Bedle, of Jersey City, as an
appropriate standard bearer for the coming
campaign, but were rather taken aback ON
learning from him that he was utterly indif-
ferent on the question, that he would take no
part in the canvass and that if the people
elected him it would be without any election
eering on his part. The braves in council
however, nominated him, and the new feature
in politics will be presented of gubernato-
rial campaign in the hills and valleys, swamps
and farms OF New Jersey without stump
speeches, brass bands, fireworks or cannon.
This will be a reform in politics with VEN
peanCe.
