That's what they called it down IN
the 9th Congressional district, OF Hi

half a million, more or less, so that
"Diek' is a first rate man to ''leg" fer,
We were forcibly reminded Of our
friends trite expression, when, few
evenings since, we met in the woods a
candidate for sheriff, with his friend
John, both ofwhom were "legging" dill
igently for hotel, as We SUPPOSE
Upon inquiry, however, 20 found ths
they were neither faint or weary, but
that John was In reality "legging Jor

Though this is novel way of put
ting it, it certainly ought to become a
favorite mode of expression, for it really
expresses much more than you would
at first suspect. Logging for Tom
"legging for Dick"-"legging for Har-
ry"-how handy a handel How con-
venient, and yet how expressive. Let's
see:-Legging for Charley--legging
for Jack. How euphonious! Besides
this, how suggestive. The leg is a
valuable appendage to the body. 1t Is
a support; it enables one to walk-to
run-especially for Office. though some
men run without a leg. Then, too,
we have the leg of table, chair, stand,
or, in technical parlance, the leg of a
triangle-all useful in their proper
places.
Yes, and there is more about this
leg business, though standing on ones
legs is not supposed to be standing
on the man who is 'legging" for you.
Tnen again ''to make Leg" is to make
bOw,-so they say. But here is the
best one yet: "He that will give a
cup and make a leg" says Fuller;-
but never mind what Fuller says. We
all understand it now. Giving cup
and making leg "a bow)--that's "leg-
ging it" in It's true sense. That's be,-
ter than TO stand on ones own legs
indeed it is. We are never to learn
no, never. We have learnt something
about "legging for Dick, and the read

POISONED BY A GREES CARPET, = At
a recent meeting of the Swedish Medi.
cal Society of Stockholm, DIR. Kellberg
related the case Of a young man who,
having manifested symptoms Of arsenic
pisonlng. was sent away 20 travel.
During the following year he enjoyed
perfect health, but having at length re.
turned home, he began TO suffer, shortly
after, in the same way as before. Suspic-
ion vas now directed to green carpet
upon the floor Of his chamber, and an
analysis revealed the fact that there
was 10 the coloring matter a very con-
siderable quantity Of arsenic. The re.
moval OF this carpet was followed by
and immediate disappearance of all NOR
bid symptoms.

bear and brave these things. Why the
one is as the summer breeze on the
ocean to Winters stormiest blast. The
common spirit may summon courage TO
play the soldier well-use quickly fits
him for it. But it requires a man TO
speak out his thought as he thinks
them-to do--when like that stormy
blast In winter on old ocean, honor
peace security aud life are threatened
to be swept away. Yet who looking
back on the page of history. or forward
to the hope of the future, would hest
tate which Of the two to choose? The
martyrs, what are theyY Chronicled
names in all hearts The patriots who
died for liberty, ignominiously and on
the scaffold--how fares it with themY
Cherished as earth's honored sons. The
good who spoke the truth, and suffered
for its sake-where are theyH The
best aud the brightest-6rst In our
thought aud love. Aud yet, what did
theyY Like men they spoke the truth
that was in them. This was their cour-
age. If they had been silent, if, trem-
bling before tyrants or mobs, they had
feared to tell what they knew, to speak
what they felt, they would have lived
and died like other men. But they
had the moral courage to do all this,
and through their suffering and truth
lighted up the world with new glory.
Give us moral courage before every
thing else. 1t is the only bravery on
Shich humanity may count for any real
blessing. Give US moral courage first
nd last.-For while it nerves man
for duty, it roots out of his heart ha-
tired, and revenge and all bad passion,
making him wise amid danger, calm
mid excitement, just amid lawlessness,
aud pure amid corruption, 1t is the
browning beauty of manhood.

thousand subscribers, and which will, we
hope, give it many thousands more, are

when unimportant, at full length when OF
moment, and always presented in a clear,
ineligible, and interesting manner.
1t Is lTst-rate family paper, full of en-
PERTAINING and instructive reading of every
kind. but containing nothing that can offend
the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
1t is frst-ratc story paper. The best
tales and romances OF current literature are
carefully selected and legibly printed in its
pages.
1t is frst-rate agricultural paper. The
most fresh and instructive articles on agri-
cultural topics regularly appear in this
department.
1T is an independent political paper, be.
longing to no party and wearing no collar.
1t fights for principle, and for the election OF
The best men to office. 1t especially devotes
its energies to the exposure OF the great
corruptons that now weaken and disgrace
our country, and threaten to undermine
republican institutions altogether. 1t has
no fear of knaves, and asks no favOrs from
their supporters.
1t reports the fashions for the ladies and
the markets for the men, especially the attic
markets, TO which it pays particular atten-
ton.
