DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from anxiety concern
ing disease. The mind has control over
the body. For person to think he has a
disease, will often produce that disease.
This we see effected when the mind is in
tensely concentrated upon the disease of
another. 1t is found in the hospitals that
surgeons and physicians who make
specially of certain diseases are liable to
die of them themselves; and the mental
power is so great that sometimes people
die Of diseases which they have only in
imagination. We have seen a person sea-
sick in anticipation of voyage, before
reaching the vessel. We have known a
person to die of cancer in the stomach,
when they had no cancer or any other
mortal disease. A blindfold man, slightly
pricked in the arm, has tainted and died
from believing that he was bleeding TO
death. Therefore, well persons, to remain
well, should be cheerful and happy; and
sick persons should have their attention
directed as much as possible from them
selves. 1t is by their faith that men are
saved; and it is by their faith they die
AS a man thinke,h so is he. If he wills
ease; and if he has little or no attachment
to life, he will slip away rs easily AS q
child will fall asleep. Men live by their
souls and not by their bodies. Their
bodies have no life of themselves; they
are only receptaces of life--tenements
for their souls. and the will has much to
do in continuing the physical occupancy
OF giving it up.

the more hardened villain and scoundrel
whom no community should harbor for a

The steamboat lines on the Upper
Mississippi are not enjoying their usua
harvest of fall business. Travel is very
light, and the farmers in Northern Iowa
and Minnesota are holding their wheat in
hopes Of an advance in price. The North
ern Line folks think that three boats a
week to each port would do the freight
business offered, and so they talk of with
drawing the Alex. Mitchell and the Min
neapolis. The stage of water is good from
st. Paul to Rock Island and St. Louis
and this proposed action has no precedent
in October since the Northern Line was
established in 1858.

Mr. S. Heagy, of the Hampton Coa'
Mines, was in town to day. He says that
there is no change in affairs in regard to
the strike, and that the men will have to
seek work elsewhere, as he cannot pay
over 81 a ton, at the present price of coal.
He believes in the right of the laborer to
ask what price he pleases for his services,
but he also believes that the employer is
the judge Of what prices he can afford to
pay. 1t is reported that a very large
proportion Of the miners wish to return to
work, but are in;imidated from doing so
by those who demand higher wages. The
miners average, at 81 a ton, from one hun
dred dollars a month up to nearly three
hundred dollars-but they demand more
Mr.. Heagy says his mines will remain
closed until he can mine coal without loss.
