$HOWTOBE9HAPPYs

the following instructions for attain
ing to physical happiness:
And to particularize in this matter
of diet, which is the very stronghold,
the citadel of the fortress, Ibeseech Of
all, young and Old, sick or well, to adopt
the following regiment: EatItwo meals
4 day only; let them he largely Of. grain :
food; such ailments as Graham flour,
oatmeal, cracked wheat, with milk or
cream; the more wholesome vegetables,
particularly those growing above
ground; fruit, sub~acid if possible, such
as apples, berries, etc., and fresh egg
or two occasionally may be admissible.
Touch no meat, butter, white flour,
spices, salt, tea, coffee, nor any greasy
food. Or, if you must eat meat, let, it
be a very moderate quantity, once day,
Of the rare lean of roast beef or mutton.
Let nothing belonging to that unclean,
scrofulous animal, the hog, enter your
system. DO not even use his fat to
cook other food in. Let your drink,
taken il possible between and not at
meals, lie of pure, cool, soft water.
BE patient and strong in doing this
even though in may disagree with you,
as perhaps it may for little while at
first and until you are accommodated
to it. In many diseases, like dyspep-
STA for instance, a wet compress around
the abdomen with Il dry outside of it,
night and day, washing off and rub
bling with dry towel night and morn
ing, is a great aid and comfort. Besure
to get plenty Of fresh air and sunlight;
exercise judiciously, taking abundance
OF sleep and rest; and the result will be
that you will become permanently
healed and the body rebuilt Of sound
tissue; your life will he Il Thanksgiving
instead of the curse it now is, and that
all mems lives are when they know not
to obey the laws which are written in
their members. It need scarcely be
added no drug of any name or sort
should pass the lips, including alco-
holic liquors and tobacco.
Few who have not experienced it can
imagine the wonderful and immediate
benefit resolti1g--the lifting up Of both
soul and body. It is like a new revela-
tion-the entering Oh new life.
This commencement will be as the
root OF all that is to come. All that is
to follow must grow out Of this. AT
last, from physical right-doing will
come the moral right-do;ng, and from
the moral will grow the spiritual.
II you have no strength in yourself
to be these things, but must 90
through some formula in order to sus-
tain your Integrity, then vow vow to
God that you will keep to this walk
and that nothing shall cause you to
swerve from it till you have measured
fora little way the faithfulness and
love Of the eternal law of the Father;
which, indeed, though unreasonable
are yet in degree apprecilble by us
i'll our comparatively infinite little
ness.
When [ look at my life, surrounded
with what people generally call real
troubles, and see how lifted out of
them, to- large extent, l cannot but
wonder that so many should suffer
from fancicd grievances; those they
would doubtless surmount, even if
real, were they in good health.
The lllthertO-Very respectable and at
tractive village Of Worthington, for /.
year or two has been cursed with social
troubles which are really discredit to
amy civilized community. The people
are divided into two cliqucs or fac
lions, each has II newspaper represent
alive, and whatever one party does is
magnileu and condemned by the other,
and finds it's way into the newspapers,
thus scattering their local tlissenSions
and scandals broad cast over the State.
Wortlllgton has several churches, it
has an elegant and commodious school
house, 1t has no saloons or bar-rOOms.
and yet fro n the stimnlous Of certain
OF its citizens and newspapers. it is in
fact the most quarrelSOme, unchrist}an

Last week a term of court was held
there, and several suits growing out of
this unfortunate state Of society were
tried-one all action for trespass and
ejectment was attended by Il large per
cent. of the people, men and women a.
bandoning their respective VO(ations
and crOwding the court room. After
days thus spent, ard the wasteful ex-
penditura of the resources of u grass
hopper ridden county, the rlict was
no ''cause of action.'' If this was Il
finale to the trouble, it would not he I,
