The election of delegates to the Ju-
dieial Convention then being in order
Henry c. Sluss arose, and in a happy
and patriotic speech, yet i'll that deep
~ earnest manner which is SO charac-
teristic of the man, and which had the
effect of riveting the eyes and concen
trating the minds of the entire conven-
ton upon him, withdrew from a
further contest for the judgeship of
the Thirteenth Judicial District. The
intent of the speech was that that mo-
ment found him in the most peculiar
and embarrassing political position of
his life. He felt himself among friends,
earnest and true, most of whom he
had had the pleasure of welcoming to
this valley as one its earliest settlers.
1t had been his ambition, and that of
his many friends, that he should fill
the high and sacred office of judge.
To this end canvass of the county
had been made. What the ultimate
result of that canvass was in this
county could only be decided by a test
vote of the men before him. But the
fact that his opponent, the Hon. w.
z. Campbell, the present incumbent,
had already secured two or three of
the counties, il would not be the part
of wisdom, party iealty or patriotism
to stand in the way of the forward and
triumphant march of the grand old

THE ELLSWORTH AMERICAN. THURSDAY DF1CEA1B

Since September we have been getting
a very fine article of kelp; up to Satur-
day we had taken over 200 wagon loads.
We go three miles for it, and have 10
work between tides. Some DAYS, If we
could take IL out Of the sea, we could
load thousand ships, and in four hours
alter the sea is clear, and YOU might see
a pebble on the bottom. While visiting
INV fathers old place In Newport this
autumn, ! saw many men reclaiining
this same kelp, or gulf weed. that We
get here. To obtain it they ire large
rake with long teeth. The man walks
of and drops his rake into a bunch of
kelp and then starts his horse Tor the
shore, and thus collects IL above the
beach in heaps. noticed that they
were spreading il upon the grass lands
as we do, and suppose with tie same
good results from the looks oftheir gar.
den farms all over the island.
We have seeded anew about twenty
acres.
We have made 2i00 pounds of butter
such as YOU always cat when here.
Iusually kill 5000 pounds of pork, al
so four head of cattle; sell a dozen
young ones, and market a flock OF tur.
keys. This all belongs legitimately 10

Feed; we,k AID SIeer,

The things that man most needs in
this world are food, work and sleep.
He 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
courage. Yet after all he lives if his
tiiends die. There is no grief, no form
OF bereavement but has its consolation
The best preserver of mans life 10 con-
tentment. Nor is Iwork destructive of
strength. Men look forward to rest, to
a life of ease, which TO them means ces-
sation from toll and Tie cares OF business.
They mistake the cause OF WEAKNESS.
1t is not work it is care. it is over-ex
ertion, il is ambition and desire after
gain that bring worn and weary feel
ings. All we possess we possess in life.
The sooner we get through with lite, 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 go rnurmuring and groaning on
their way, as though life was burden
and that it is piety to put low estimate
on ii. The opposite is true. A man
shonld seek to live out ali his days, and
he cannot accomplish it in better way
than by using every means to promote
life. Among these means are the three
things mentioned ut the head of this ar.
ticle. When man denies hinsc sleep,
food and the exercise work gives-brain
and body work-he robs his life of its
full term. Let him be cheerful also
He is like an engine; it will run well
and long If we'll oiled. Contentment
and cbeerfulness are the oil which keeps
the nerves from wearing ont. Busy
men and women think that time taken
from toll for sleep aud recreation is time
lost. 1t is really the cement put in to
fill up the joints, to keep out the wealth
err and preserve the building.-Provi.
