Choose-Ncnlth or sickness.

Those who desire and appreciate
health should be willing to make
some effort to secure it as they do to
obtain the other good things which
increase the pleasure of life. Pure
water is essentially necessary to good
health.
All wells, cisterns and springs
should be thoroughly cleaned in the
early spring or in the Autumn. The
usual method of placing large stone
on the top of the cistern is injurious
to the water, unless an aperture is
left in the stone and fitted with a
wooden cover The air should not
be wholly excluded from the cistern,
else moldy conditions will predomi-
natc-although perhaps not appar-
cnt-and the water will not be whole

be found various kinds Of insects
and reptiles.
Water is the natural drink of all
living creatures, and it serves sever
al important purposes in the animal
ocOnomy-frstly, it repairs the loss
of the aqueous part of the blood caus-
ed by evaporation, and the action Of
the sccreting and inhaling organs;
secondly, it is a solvent of various
elementary substances, and therefore,
assists the stomach in digestion,
though, if taken in very large guam
titles, it may have an opposite effect
by diluting the gastric juice; thirdly,
it is a nutritive agcnt-that is, it

EbellSAOn ana temperance.
Is not this year an excellent time
for temperance men and women %
organize a grand movement through
out the country Revivals OF relig,
ion are in progress ut very many diff
feren. points, and attended, it is
claimed, with much success, Why
not associate with them the great
cause Of moral and physical reform
which the temperance movement
embodies? For our own part, wecan-
not understand on grounds logical or
ethical how the promoters Of religi-
ious awakenings can consistently
leave the temperance matter out Of
their field of effort; and yet they do
it. AS we understand practical re-
ligion, it is q moral influence which
penetrates within the most essential
part of man, and its reform affects
the whole organization, giving one
the disposition and the strength to
form new and good habits, and to
overcome his selfish and sensual pro-
pensities Being "in Christ" or re-
ally converted, Is, according TO the
Apostolic Interpretation, to become a
new creature" the cold man with
its affections and lusts," being "cru-
Gifted" This last strong word doubt
less means that our customary i'm
proprieties and vicious habits must
be suspended even at the cost of
great suffering, otherwise the condi-
ton of the "new creature" with its
moral and physical purity, cannot be
attained.
We have known, and do know,
men who have been received into
church membership, after the usual
profession of conversion, who never
theless continued their old use of
strong drinks and of tobacco. OF the
intelligence of these men we could
not doubt. They new the pernicious
effects of alcohol and tobacco, and as
protesting Christians they could not
escape the obligations of walkingup-
rightly, and as examples worthy of
their religious claims.
1t is a fact at once painful and dis.
graceful to Christian society that the
ministry is in general reluctant to
preach the gospel OF temperance Or
abstinence from indulgence in such
manifestly destructive things as alco-
hol and tobacco. Should onc-half of
the twelve or fifteen thousand "devo-
ted to the proclamation of truth
and Righteousness in this country
make IN earnest effort each in his
own parish, to stem the tide of in
temperance and vice flowing from
liquor and tobacco.practice, we would
witness a revival of decency and So
briefly which would furnish the peo-
pie genuine foretaste of the Mill
ennium.
So long as the people hug pet vices
Of any kind to their hearts, so long
will there be a lack of true moral in
tegrity in their lives. Oh, for some
Moses to arise in plentitude of moral
and intellectual conviction, and ava
ken the people as by a thunderclap
to sense of their duty in this mat
ter, and so bring about a revival of
purity and fraternal love which shall
bless man with immortal fruits!-

T1LDEN-THURlTAE,

The COURIER prefers Thurman
to Tilden. The News would re-
gard Senator Thurman with as
much favor as any other democrat
in the union, Mr.. Tilden not exccp-
ted, if it can be established that
his claims for election are greater
than those Of Tilden. Then we
would prefer him as the nominee.
Really we have no. choice among
half a dozen lustrous names. We
arc for the one who can command
most strength. Indeed, the South
has very little business in express
ing any choice. Only let us cast
the vote of the South for the one
strongest among the Northern
states. We may be mistaken in
supposing Mr.. Tildcn the most
available. Yet we Lclieve Wat
tcrson only partially right in the
assertion that the campaign will
turn largely on the question of re-
fern. If he had included the cur,
rency question he would have been
nearer the mark. The North WILL
NOT ignore the question of specie
resumption, nor will they be indif-
torcnt upon the volume of the cur
rency. Without the Middle and
New England States we cannot
succeed. TO win them, we think
the nomination of Tilden about the
most sensible thing to be DONE
lie las administrative ability of n
high order, is not by any means Il
novice, and has always been JET
fersonian Democrat.
