FOOD, WORK AND SLEEP.

The things that man most needs in
this world are food, work and sleep. lie
doesn't need riches, honors or office to
live. He needs society because he is
made for it. He must love and be loved /;
his life and happiness are promoted by
companionship; mutual dependence and
counsel enlarge hope and stimulate cour-
age. Yet after all he lives il his friends
die. There is no grief, no form of be-
reayement but has its consolation. The
best preserver of a mans life is content
ment. Nor Is work destructive of strength.
Men look forward to rest, to life of ease,
which TO them means cessation from toll
and the cares Of business. They mistake
the cause of WEAKNESS. 1t is not work /;
it is care, 1t is over-exertlon, it is ambi-
ton and desire after gain that bring worn
and weary feelings. All we possess we
possess in life. The sooner we get thro
with life, the sooner we relinquish our
possessions. The faster a man lives the
quicker he reaches the end of life. There
are three ends to life, and death is the
last and least desirable of them. One end
is TO live. That is why we were created
to live and live as long and well as we
can. Some 90 murmuring and grooming
on their way, as though life was a burden
and that it is piety to put low estimate
on it. The opposite is true. A man should
seek to live out all his days, and he can
not accomplish it in better way than by
using every means to promote lie.
Among these means are the three things
mentioned at the head of this article.
When man denies himself sleep, food
and the exercise work gives-brain and
body work-he robs his life of its full
term. Let him be cheerful also. lie is
like an engine; it will run well and long
il well oiled. Contentment and cheerful
ness are the oil which keeps the nerves
from wearing out. Busy men and women
think that time taken from toll for sleep
and recreation is time lost. 1t is really
the cement put in to fill up the joints, TO
keep out the weather and preserve the
building. Journal.

The Centennial anniversary OF the
day on which the people Of the United
States declared their right 10 sspar.
ate aud equal station among the pow
ers OF the earth, seems to demand an
exceptional observance. The founders
Of the Government at its birth and i'll
its feebleness, invoked the blessings
and protection Of a Divine Providence.
and thirteen colonies and three mil
lions OF people have expanded into
nation OF strength and numbers CON-
mandinQ the position which then was
asserted, and for which fervent prayers
were then offered. IL seems fitting
that on the occurrence OF the one hun
dredth anniversary Of our existence a.
a nation. q grateful acknowledgement
should be made to Almighty God for
the protection and bounties which lie
has vouchsafed 10 our beloved country.
therefore invite the COED people oil
the United States on the approaching
Fourth OF July, in addition TO the usu'
nj obseryances with which they are &C.
customed TO greet the return OF that
day. further, In such manner and at
such times in their respective localities
and religious associations as may be
most convenient, TO mark its occurrence
by some religious and deyout thanks
giving to Almighty God for the bless
ings which have been bestowed rpor
ms as nation during the century oi
our existence and humbly TO invoke
continuance OF His favor and his pro
tectioR.

The comments on the Republicans
nomiustion at Cincinnati are so numer-
ous and varied that the one of whom II
has been life study will undoubtedly
be Interesting to the reader. For this
reason correspondents interviewed she
Hon. Schuyler Colfax. Mr.. Colfax re-
garded the ticket as the strongest that
conld have been nominated, when To-
cality and personality were considered.
He had served in Congress with both
Gov. Hayes aud Mr.. Wheeler, aud they
we're both among the most modest and
unassuming OF public men. While un-
sweryinQ and infiexible in their politi-
cal principles, they never exhibited
any malice or bitterness towards those
differing from them.
Mr.. O. said the nomination OF Col.
HAYES was, in some striking particu.
lars. akin to that OF Lincoln. Both had
served in Congress, winning reputa-
tions there. AZ reliable rather than bril-
liant members. Both afterwards won
national distinction in state canvasses,
that attracted attention all over the iand
and warmed the hearts OF millions to-
wards them. And in both conventions:
when il seemed almost foreordained
that distinguished Eastern men were
To be nominated, Lincoln aud Hayes
were selected, because it seemed wiser
and safer 70 place our standard IN their
hands. -,
Mr.. Coliax said lie was confident the
canvass OF 1876 would exhibit still
more striking similarities to the cam
paign Of 1860. As in that case. there
might not be as many cannon hred,
perhaps, at the outset, as III the choice
OF nearly half the convention had pre-
vailed. But, Ms in 1868. there would
be n steadily increasing enthusiasm as
the strong points and the impreguable
record OF the nominee became more
fully known to all men.
With Gov. Hayes experiences and
public service in three great depart
ments of the Government. military,
Congressional aud executive with such
a successful aud fanltless career as the
thrice elected Governor OF the third

which. at q critical moment, ayerted
almost inevitable bloodshed ::and civil
war, and calmed down excited combat
ants into peace, both these nomina-
tions have undsniably sought the nom
inoes, neither of whom has lifted q In
ger to secure them. Aud when con
firmed, as he felt sure they would be
by the people. he was confident that
these nnsought honors would be sc

ring President Buchauan's administra-
tion:

feudant while acting as Secretary OF
