TIE SERMONS YESTERDAY in the churches
of New York and Brooklyn, as presented
elsewhere, furnish a variety of themes. The
thoughtful Christian who is not too busted
with the cares of life can extract from these
discourses a larger amount Of useful
thoughts than he could possibly have
stored his mind with at the services
in the single church he attends. As
Episcopalians, Catholics. Presbyterians,
Baptists, Congregationalists, Universalists
and Liberals find themselves side by
side in our columns, member Of
any of these churches can see for him
self how much good there is in all the
others. He can mediate on Advent with
DR.. Dix, ponder on Christ's rule of life with
DR.. Chaplin, contemplate the mystery Of the
Incarnation with the Jesuit Father Merrick,
lake glimpse of heaven through DR.. Hep
worths reverent eyes, philosophize on the
relations of this life to the future with Mr..
Beecher, examine home mission work with
DR.. Hall, and calculate the strain on South
ern christianity with Mr.. Fulton. From
each he will learn something worth remem-
bering.

Hearty Breakfas IS.

In large majority Of cases, says the
Journal of Health, it will be found that
the best and heartiest meal of the day
should be eaten 10 the morning. Ifthe
closing repast of the day is not eaten too
late, or has not been too excessive in
quantity, or indigcstible in quality, the
stomach will be active in the morning,
after the individual has enjoyed a cool
bath. The stomach will respond quickly
with the necessary gastric juice for the
solution offood which will be assimiIated
and converted into blood and tissue. With
a good substantial breakfast, no amount of
fco will be required during the remainder
of the day. Que further meal will be
ample, and that might better be taken
from two to three o'clock in the afternoon
than at any other period, if business en-
gagements only permitted it.
The breakfast might be made from any
kind Of wholesome food, and the fewer
kinds the better. The dinner should be
light and readily digested. if sound sleep is
desired and strong appetite and perfect
powers of digestion next day. If hunger
comes, bowl of meal. or other unbolted
grain, will allay it, aud digest quickly
Oae square meal in every twenty-iour
hours is all that can be taken care of by
many weak stomachs and more than this
is an excess and induces headache, nausea
and distress. If dinners were abandoned
and especially late and heavy dinners
myriads of dyspeptics would be cured
But under the exigencias of city life /;
dlnner cannot be well avoided. This nee(
not be the tremendous meal it is custom
airy to make it, if the breakfast is SUBJ
stantial and nutritious, not thing of slop!

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure !;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax !; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undonc something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough Is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bllity; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prlckly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
determination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

The Centennial authorities have
made one or two rules, the reason for
which no newspaper fellow can find
out, particularly for that providing
that no tickets will be sold, but that
each applicant for admission, must
go to the gates with a silver half dol
lar or a fifty cent note, and nothing
else. Two quarters will not answer;
nor five ten cent pieces; nor three
fifteen cent pieces and a nickel. The
rule is considered as the exercise OF

The government has made a pref
ty good thing by the issue of frac-
tional currency, and ought to be in
no hurry for silver assumption. The
treasury officials are said to believe
that Is per cent. of the forty mil
lions issued has been destroyed
disappeared from circulation-and
will never make its appearance at
the treasury for redemption. In other
words, the government is ahead ten
million dollars through the loss and
destruction of its little "rag baby
brat, a profitable speculation at the
expense of the people.

THE MAN AMI BROTHER

When the Republican party adopt
ed the constitutional amendment
Eabolishing slavery, they expected the
negroes would vote the Republican
ticket through thick and thin. And
now an organization of colored men,
with duly elected officers, under the
name of "The National Independent
Political Union" has been formed at
Washington and has issued an adj
dress to the eolored people. The
character of this address may be
Judged from an extract, which says:
aYou cannot afford longer to band
yourselves together for the perpetu-
alton of party that has bound you
hand and foot, and robbed you of
your hard earnings by %instituting a
freedman's bank ostensibly to make
you thrifty, but in fact with an eye
to enrich Republican cormorants and
vampires, whose disreputable char
acters were too notorious to receive
other Federal appointments" 1t
concludes IS follows: "The Republi-
can party has been false to itself,
false to the country, false to the ne
gro, whom it has pretended to favor,
but, in fact, whom it has made per-
verse, because of.the policy of hate
it has forced him to accept against a
people with whom he lives and must
continue to live. For these reasons
we expect you to cooperate with us
in the coming Presidential election,
and aid by your ballots to retrieve
the good name and lost honor of our
common country. Friends, may God
enlighten and lead you to see your
political duty in the coming contest,
is the wish of your friend and we'll
Wisher."

WHAT win the people of PrebIe

known to exist everywhere under the
rule of the Republican party? We
will soon have entered upon another
political campaign, more important
in view of the outrageous revelations
than any that has ever preceded it.

bon," and such party clap-trap to in

independent people, whose greatest
interest exist in good government
and a faithful and economical admin
istration of our country? live would
have a pure government at Washing

here in Preble county, to show that
they are in favor of publication by
laying aside all party shackels and
voting for a change. They are groan,
ing under the burdens of taxation.
and simply because they have per
mitted the cry of "stick to your par
ty" to influence their honest judg-
ment, and the farmer, the mechanic
and the laboring man, is toiling
