thought - but we do maintain that
no action. voluntary or Involuntary,
organic or animal, mental or emo
tional, can take place without cor
responding tissual destruction. The
form, therefore, of a living body is
all that is permanent, the constitu-
ent particles being in a condition of
constant fiux. 1t has been aptly
compared to the fame of a candle,
ceasely wasting as it is ceaselessly
fed.
One word more as
to the inter-dependence of the or
ganic and the inorganic worlds.
This wasting frame requires materi-
ais for renewal, which must be sup
piled to it from without. Hence
the necessity for food. The animal
requires organized food, which is
prepared for it by the vegetable
kingdom for the animal has not
the power to utilize and appropriate
the inorganic substances around ;
consequently the vegetable world is
indispensable to the animal. The
foods suited to the needs of the ami
NAL, being iDgested, are assimilated,
and become part and parcel of the
living body, being now vitalized
particles, endowed with the high
attribute of life, but this only for a
time. After longer or shorter
time, retrograde metamorphosis re-
turns these particles to the condition
of inorganic matter again, perhaps
again to be introduced into some
organism. And thus the wonderful
cycle of change goes on, from the
inorganic to the organic, and back
again. Man himself is of the earth
and is, even during life, constantly
returning to the dust whence he
springs.

Appeal of the Ladies' Christian
Association for Memphis.


Appeal of the Ladies' Christian
Association for Memphis.
Were the sad consequences over
when the pestilence is pronounced
at an end, there would be no neces-
sity for this appeal; but brief
statement of the facts in the case
will convince all that aid is impera-
lively demanded for the suffering
poor of Memphis from those exempt
from pestilence. Obliged to fly for
their lives almost at a moments
warning, leaving home and bust
ness for four or five months at
time, and two years in succession;
compelled to spend what they had
laid up, or sometimes to borrow
means to sustain them in exile, and
many more are obliged to remain
and risk the consequences. If they
lose one member of the family, all
infected clothing and bedding must
be destroyed, and if two or three
should die, almost all their clothing
and bedding must be sacrificed, and
now with winter upon them they
have not the means of replacing
those necessary articles of comfort.
When the fever was over last year,
the Citizens Relif Committee had
handsome sum, with many boxes
of clothing left over, with which to
help yellow fever sufferers through
the winter; and they discharged
this duty faithfully, partly through
this Association. This year neither
the Citizens Relief nor the Howard
Association will have any surplus
left for this purpose. To you, then,
citizens of the same State, sister
city, we appeal with the more con-
fidence, knowing you feel personal
interest and sympathy for our
afflicted people, and we deem it I'M
necessary to urge any motive upon
you other than the words of our
Savior: "The poor we have always
with you" "Inasmuch as We have
done it to one of the least of these,
my brethren, you have done it unto
me-" she that hath pity on the
poor lendeth unto the Lord, and
that which he hath given will He.
pay him again."
We would state that this Associa-
ton is composed of representatives
from all denomination of Christians,
and having in their employ a city
missionary, who visits systematic
ally the homes of the poor, they
can intelligently bestow the hene-
factions of the charitable. Any
thing that can contribute to the
comfort of family, clothing of all
kinds for men, women and children,
blankets, bedding and shoes, will
be acceptable. Address
Mrs. J. G.. JOHNSON,
Pres't Ladies' Christian Asso'n.
No. A West Court street, Memphis,
Tenn.
Capt. Crusman has kindly con-
scented to continue to receive contri-
buttons made by our citizens, and
will forward them to Memphis.

THE WORLD.
For 1880.


Democrats every where should inform
themselves carefully alike of the action of
their party throughout the country and of
the movements of their Republican oppon-
ents. A failure to do this in 1879 contributed
greatly to the loss by the Democracy of the
fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls.
The year 1880 pro.r ises to be one of the
crowded and eventful century. 1T viii wit
ness q Presidential election which may re-
suit in reestablishing the Government Of this
country on the principles ofits constitution
al founders, or in permanently changing the
relations of the States to the Federal power.
No intelligent man can regard such an cleo
ton with Indifference. The world, as the
only daily English newspaper published in
the city of New York which upholds the
doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will
steadily represent the Democratic party in
this great canvass. It viii do this In no
spirit of servile partisanship, but temperate
" and firmly. As q newspaper THE WORLD,
being the organ OF no man, no clique and no
interest, will present the fullest and the fair
est picture 1t can make of zach days passing
history in the city, the State, the country
and the world. It will aim hereafter, as
heretofore, at accuracy first of all things In
all that 1t publishes. No man, however
humble, shall ever be permitted truly TO
complain that he has been uniustly dealt
with in the columns of THE WORLD No
interest, however powerful, shall ever be
permitted truly to boast that 1t can silence
the fair criticism of THE WORLD.
During the past year THE WORLD has seen
It's daily circulation trebled and its weekly
circulation pushed far beyond that OF any
other weekly newspaper in the country.
WORLD believes, by truthfulness, enterprise,
ceaseless activity in collecting news and un-
taltering loyalty to itself and TO its readers
in dealing with the questions of the day. 1t
is our hope and it viii be our endeavor that
THE WORLDS record for 1880 may be written
in the appreciation and the support of many
thousands more of new readers in all parts
of this Indissoluble Union of Indestructible
States.
