for fifty miles more. The western terminus OF
the road is Ell Paso. 700 miles west OF Fort

NEVER IDLE.

The most inveterate idler cannot pre-
vent his body from working; that is
clearly impossible; the body must keep
hard at work, OR it will die Suppose
the stomach refused 10 work within ten
minutes after hearty dinner, the man
would die in convulsions in few hours;
or cholera or cranp collie would rack and
wreck him. Supposing the pores of the
skin-meaning thereby the gandular ap-
paratus with which they are connected
should go on ''strike," he would in an
hour be burning up with fever; oppres-
sion would weigh upon the system, and
soon become insupportable. Suppose the
liver became mulish, the appetite would
become annlhilsted, food would be
loathed, torturing pains would invade the
small of the back, and the head would
ache to bursting. And so with all the
functions of the body. How wonderful
the bene6cence that enables us to keer
this complicated machinery in order by
the pleasant process Of eating and drink
ing.
