and, if you speak, speak ac-
cordipgly.
Justice-Wrong none by do
ing injuries, or emitting the
benefits that are your duty.
Modaration-Avoid extremes;
forbear resenting injuries so
much as you think they deserve.
Cleanliness-Tolerate no IN,
cleanliness in body, clothes or
habitation.
Tranquility-Be not disturbed
at tritles, or at accidents COM
mon or unavoidable.
In the end, thought rules the
world. There are times when
impulses and passions are more
powerful, but they expand them
selves, while mind, acting con-
stantly, is ever ready to drive
them back and work when their
energy is exhausted.

RULES OF LIVING.

The following list Of moral
virtues was drawn by DR.. Frank
lin, for the regulation of his life:
Temperance-Eat not to dull
ness, drink not to elevation.
Silence-Speak not but what
may benefit others or yourself;
avoid trihing conversation.
Order-Let all your things
have their places; let each part
of your business have its time.
Observation-Disclosures to per-
form what you ought; perform
without fail what you resolve.
Frugality-Make no expense
but to do good to others or your
self; that is, waste nothing.
Industry--lose no time; be
always employed in something
useful; cut off all unnecessary
action.
Sincerity-USe no hurtful de-
cait: think innocsntlv and Justly,

INFLUENCE OF TEMPER ON
HEALTH.

While excessive labor, expos
ure to wet and cold, deprivation
Of sufficient quantities of neces-
sary and wholesome food, ha-
hitual bad lodging, sloth and
intemperance are all deadly
enemies to human life, none Of
them are so bad and violent as
ungoverned passions. Men and
women have survived all the
former, and at last reached an
extreme old age; but it may be
safely doubted whether q single
instance can be found of a man
of violent and irascible temper,
habitually subject to storms Of
ungovernable passion, who has
arrived at q very advanced pc
riod Of life. 1t is, therefore, a
matter of the highestimportance
to every one desirous of preserv-
ing "a sound mind in a sound
body" to have a special care,
amid all the vicissitudes and
trials Of life, to maintain a quit
possession Of his spirit. .-Ex.

Senator Zach. Chandler, of
Michigan, died at Chicago on
the 1st inst. He had been max
ing political speeches in Wis
cOnsin, and was returning to
his home in Michigan at the
time Of his death. The evening
before he died he made a very
vigorous speech in Chicago,
after which he retired to his
room, where he was found dead
next morning. Chandler was
chairman Of the National Re
publican committee at the time
of his death, and it was thought
by some of the leading politi-
clans that his chances were
good for the presidential nomi-
nation at the next convention.

A RICH MAN ON RICHES.

The following story is told of
Jacob Ridgway, a wealthy citi-
zen of Philadelphia, who died
many years ago, leaving a for
tune of five or six million dol
lars;
"Mr. Ridgway," said a young
man with with whom the million
aire was conversing, "you are
more to be envied than any man
| know"
"Why so?" responded Mr..
Ridgway. 81 am not aware of
any cause for which | should be
particularly euviea."
"Why, sirl" exclaimed the
young man in astonishment.
Why, are you not a millionaire?
Think of the thousands your in
come brings you every month";
well, what of that?" replied
Mr.. Ridgway. "All I get out of
it is my victuals and clothes,
and [ can't eat more than one
mans allowance, or veal more
than and shirt at a time. Pray
can't you do as much?"
"Ah, but" said the youth,
"think Of the hundred Of fine
houses that you own, and the
rentals they bring you."
"What better am | off for
that" replied the rich man. 81
can only live in one house at
the time. AS for the money Ire
ceive for rents, why, | can't eat
it or wear it; | can only use it to
buy other houses for other peo-
pie to live in; they are the benz
fciaries, not l."
"But you can buy splendid
furniture, and costly pictures,
and fine carriages and horses
and in fact anything you DESIRE
"And after | have bought
them" responded Mr.. Ridgway,
what then? 1 can only look at
the furniture and pictures and
the poorest man who is not blind
can do the same. [ can ride no
easier in a fine carriage than
you can in an omnibus for five
cents, without the trouble of
attending to drivers, footmen
and hostlers; and as to anything
| desire, [ tell you young man
that the less we desire in this
world the happier we shall be-
All my wealth cannot buy me a
single day more Of life-cannot
buy back my youth-cannot
purchase exemption from sick
ness and pain-cannot procure
me the power to keep afar off
the hour of death; and then,
what will all avail when, in a
few short years at most, | lie
down in the grave and leave it
all forever! Young man, you
have no cause to envy me-"

Reports from the recent state
elections are not encouraging
New York elected a Republican
governor, and probably a por-
ton Of the remainder Of the
Republican state ticket. Dem
OCratic losses are also reported
in Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin. There does not seem to be
a change of public sentiment
in favor of radicalism, but the
trouble arises from the Oft
repeated blunder Of a split on
local matters in the Democra tic
ranks everywhere, while the
Republicans walk to victory in
solid phalanx.

Messrs. Editors "A matter has recently come
to nv knowledge which il will interest many Of
our citizens TO have explained.
You will remember that the present Board Of
County Commissioners introduced the system Of
letting out the keeping Of the county paupers TO
the highest bidder. and that the contract was
awarded TO Mr.. F. II. Bond, who agreed TO board
and cl0the said panpersfor the sum ofeight dol
lars per month each, and further to pay the coun-
" q rent of one hundred and twenty-five dollars
per annum for the use Of the farm attached to
the Aims House
Upon this, (beiug the lowest bid, J the con-
tract was awarded 70 Mr. Bond, and he was re-
quired TO give bond for the faithful performance
Of Enlargement. A short time afterwards the
terms Of the agreement were so altered by the
Commissioners that the Overseer was relieved Of
the payment Of the rent entirely, and farther,
was allowed Ten dollars per month each Cor board
ing and clothing the panpers. 1917
Now this last was exactly the bid Of one or
more parties when the Commissioners were re-
ceiving the proposals and upon what principle
they awarded the contract 10 lower bidder and
afterwards raised the compensation TO the terms
that we're offered By other bidders il will be diff
