DIR. BENJAMIN Rush says; "The
duration of life does not appear to depend
so much upon the strength of the body,
or upon the quantity of It's excitability,
as upon an exact accommodation of slim
uli to each of them. A watch spring
will last as long as an anchor, provided
the forces which are capable of destroy.
ing both are always in an exact ratio to
their strength" This golden thought is
commended to those who make no effort
to control their temper. Every time you
let your angry passions rise, you overtask
or strain the forces so nicely organized to
carry you far down the green slope of
green old age The violent and irregu-
lar action Of the passions tend to wear
away the springs of life.

The letter was addressed to colored

My DEAR SHEP-Although you live

you are only one of the my many colored

often have my eye open you. You were
born on plantation near Lynchburg,
in Virginia. You were owned there by
Il man by the name of Charles Somers.

you all, and have plan to make you all
happy. | want you TO vote for General
Ames for Governor this fall, and my dear
Shep, | will give you my reasons for so
wishing. In the first place Gen. Ames is
my officer in your State, and | want you
TO obey him, Mr.. Alcorn is an old slave
holder; ven must not vote fer him. If
Gen. Ames is elected propose to cut up
Mr.. Alcorn's plantation and give it to the
slaves, who so many years worked for him
for nothing. | will give you, my dear
Shep. your choice out of the lots when the
plantation is cut up. DO not forget TO
do all YOU can to get votes for Ames.
Good bye my dear Shep. Your friend

This letter carried "Shep' completely
by storm. An angel from heaven direct
could not have convinced him that the
letter was not from the President, He
voted for Ames, and carried upward of
500 votes for him.
