Keep the Body Erect.

An erect bodily attitude is of vast
ly more importance to health than
people generally imagine. Crooked
bodily positions, maintained for any
length of time, are always injurious,
whether in the sitting, standing or
lying posture, whether sleeping Or
walking. To sit with the body lean
ing forward on the stomach, or to
one side, with the heels elevated on
a level with the head, is not only in
bad taste, but exceedingly detrimen-
tai to health. 1t cramps the stOm-
ach, presses the vital organs, inter-
rupts the free motions of the chest,
and enfeebles the functions of the
abdominal and thoracic organs, and,
in fact, unbalances the whole muscu-
lar system. Many children become
slightly hump backed, or severely
round-shOuldered, by sleeping with
the head raised on a high pillow.
When any person finds it easier to
sit, or stand, or walk, or sleep, in a
crooked position than atraight one,
such person may be sure his muscu-
lar system is badly deranged, and
the more careful he is to preserve a
straight or upright position, and get
back to nature again, the better.

The Secret of Happiness.

The secret of happiness is to make
the best of everything: no matter
what happens to annoy we should let
it all glide along as easily and with
as little complaint and fault finding
as possible. Little Inconvenience
will intrude upon the most fortunate
of people, so the only way to be
master of the situation is to make up
our minds not to notice small annoy
aDces. By keeping ourselves in a
constant broil over what amounts to
nothing, we cannot accomplish the
least good but may ruin the peace
and quiet of household. We can
Uot have everything we want in this
world, and the sooner we understand
the fact the sooner we may have a
true basis for happiness. 1t is the
greatest folly to set the heart upon
uncertainties, and then if disappoint-
ed refuse to be cOmforted or recon-
ciled. We should do the very best
we can and then take things as they
come. If we strive with our best
knowledge, energy, and untiring Ia
Dor to accomplish a certain object,
working with skill and patience we
accomplish a success, whether the
scheme fails or succeeds, and we
ought to reconcile ourselves to fail
ure if it is inevitable. When misfor-
tune comes it is cowardly to become
a prey to it; we should fight it, for
in that way only can it be overcome.

SeIf-ImprOvement.

Propose to YOURSELF an object that
is noble; pursue it from motives that
are high. Let what is best in you
take the mastery. You shall be
ranked with the wise and good long
before you are fully either. And
as you 60 on in the course of i'm
provement, the idea of your better
self shalT become more definite, and
the life of this idea Of wisdom and
goodness shall be dearer and strong
er in you. You shall be named af-
ter the idea of your life; you are
wise for you are becoming so. In all
right courses of life, a man resolute-
ly desirous of becoming a wiser, a
better informed, better disciplined,
more useful individual, will find his
thoughts, both of the end and the
way, get clearer as he proceeds in his
work. He sees more truly and more
brightly what it is he wants; he sees
more fully for its attainment, And
with better prospects both of the end
and the way, there comes increased
motive for the self-improving effort
of the journey.

Garfield on Republican Revivals
From his speech at Wisconsin Reunion
Milwaukee Sentinel Report.

From his speech at Wisconsin Reunion
Milwaukee Sentinel Report.
Two years ago, all over the cOun-
try, in the Republican party there
were sentimentalists, optimists, men
who said, "Go to your Southern
bretheren with the olive branch and
they will come back to you"
Then the talk was of good
friendship and love. There were
Republicans and true who belived it,
and it seem to be necessary that the
very last experiments should be tried
to satisfy the minds ofall; and when
our present President came into pow
er, an optimifts in the EXTREMIST
sense of the word, sincerely believing
in the gospel of good will, be went
South and bore olive branches in both
his hands, far more than you and l
wanted him to carry, but in good faith
he bore them everywhere, and while
they spoke the word of promise to
his ear, he has seen, you and have
seen, that at least they have broken
it. Now, after all that has been done,
the disclosures of the last session
have opened the eyes of the most
sentimental of Republican sentiment
alists. There have been days of full
ness in the Republican party. 1t
was a day of fullness when you or
ganized inI854; it was day of full
ness when yon chose Lincoln in 1850;
it was a day of fullness when he call
ed for three millions of men to 90
under the flag and save the Republic;
and it is to-day again revival of the
Republican party [applausel; such a
revival as you and 1 have not seen
since 1860.

SHEFFIEED WoRKMEN finding the indus
tries Of the old world so languishing are
turning their attention to America, which
seems to be Outstripping the old world in
the achievements of mathematical skill.
Telegraphio news is to the effect that 130
cutters are on the way to Bridgeport, Ct.,
for the purpose of filling American shops.
Larger numbers are expected to follow
sOoh We are thus transferring the skill of
the most favored portions of England to
the workshops Of America. The establish
ment for which these men are intended is
English, transferred from the other side of
the water because of the advantages af-
forded by the policy of America over that
of Great Britain. 1t is said to be owing TO
the high tariff on knives in this country.
and the free trade in men and capital on
the other side. It is the idea that It is
better to bring their factories and work.
men here and make knives that have no
tariff to pay than it is to go on cOntending
against American manufacturers, with a
large discrimination in favor of the Ameri-
can manufacturers. The example Of this
concern, if successful, will be followed by
other companies, and American industries
shall be built up on the depletion OF the
old world. This is great country, and
its future is before it.

The Peach Tree BOrer.

The borer that is so destructive
to the peach tree belongs to the spe-
cies named Ggerie named eritiOsG.
The eggs are usually deposited on
the trunk of the tree near the sur
face of the ground during the sum-
nler months; the little worms soon
hatch and commence their work Of
destruction by eating the inner bark
and the soft wood that lies next to
il. If unmolested, and the tree is
small, they frequently kill the tree
in a single season, but sometimes the
tree will linger two or three years,
and its foliage will indicate the pres
ence of the yellows.
The remedies are numerous. If
one has but a few trees, plenty of
leisure time, good eyes, and a sharp
knife, a weekly examination, and the
cutting out with the point of the
knife the young worms as fast as
they hatch, will accomplish the
work. Another remedy is to enclose
the trunk of the tree from a few
inches below the surface of the
ground to a foot above with strong
paper. It should be placed around
the tree the middle of May and kept
in good order and well tied at the
top until the first of September, when
it should be removed and the trees
examined. Care should be taken to
remove all the borers that may have
found lodgment before the paper is
placed around the tree.
We think the cheapest and best
way is to commence with the young
orchard the first year it is set; be
sure and set no trees that have bOr-
ers in them, and select those that
have good smooth trunks, and when
set place a small mound Of fine grsv-
el around the tree at least eight inch
es high, and as small in diameter as
it will stand; two or three times
during the summer the trunk of the
tree should be examined an inch be-
low the top of the gravel; the gray
el should then be again raised as
high around the tree as it viii stand !;
the object of keeping it as high and
as small in diameter as posi- le, for
it is rarely that a miller will deposit
her eggs on clean, dry surface, and
it is still more rare that an egg so de-
posted will hatch. In September
the mound should be entirely remov-
ed, to be replaced with fresh gravel
theme season.

Owing to the Weather.

A big newsboy was yesterday
doubled over a bench at the City
Hall Market, too sick too move, and
too discouraged to care what became
of him. Two OF three of the moth
erly marketwomen fixed him up a
dose of pepper, and when he was a
little better one of them said:
"Boy, you want to let harvest ap-
pies alone!'
"Harvest applesl" he sneered.
sDo you think eight or nine harvest
apples could double up a big boy
like me ?"

The Prime of Life.


Between the ages of forty.fve and
sixty man who has properly regu
lated himself may be considered In
the prime of life. His mature6
strength of constitution renders him
almost imperviOus to an attack ol
disease, and experience has given
soundness to his judgment. His
mind is resolute, firm and equal; all
his functions are in the highest ord
er; he assumes mastery over his bus
iness; builds up a competence on the
foundation he has laid in early man.
hood, and passes through period of
life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone year or two ever sixty
he arrives at a stand still. But
athwart this is the viaduct called the
turn of life, which, if crossed in safe
ty, leads to the valley of sold age, y
round which the river winds, and
then beyond, without boat or cause
way 10 effect his passage. The
bridge is, however, constructed of
fragile material, and it depends how
it is trodden whether it bend or
break. Gout and apoplexy are also
in the vicinity to waylay the trav-
eler, and thrust him from the pass;
but let him grid up his loins and
provide himself with a filter staff,
and he may trudge on in safely and
with perfect composure. To quit
metaphor, "the turn of life" is a turn
either into a prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system ana powers
having reached the utmost expan-
sion now begin either to close like
flower at sunset or break down at
once. One injudicious stimulant,
single fatal excitement, may force it
beyond its strength, while careful
supply of props and the withdrawal
of all that tends to force a plaut will
sustain it IN beauty and vigor until
night has entirely set in.
