True Friends.

Who are the friends of the bOyse We
mean the true devoted friends. This il
question every boy, as soon as he ar
rives at an age to determine what is
right and what is wrong. should be
urged to settle for himself, and settle it
for all his life. Boys, think! Is it he
who pats you on the back and tells you
"that is right" when you have whipped
some other boy for some trifling cause7
Is he your true friend? Surprising the
other boy had whipped son! Would
not this pretended friend have been just
as earnest in cheering him and shaming
you? You have noticed that where
there is crowd of rough men and boys
together they flatter the boy that does
the most daring act, no matter how
wrong that act may be. Are they the
friends of that boy? Another boy soon
does holder deed, and they forget the
one they cheered q moment ago. and
''hurrah'' for the last boy. They
change in moment. Is he your true
friend, boys. who gives you five cents to
bride you to swear an oath? Is he your
true friend who gives you chew or plug
of tobacco, and tells you to chew it;
or gives you q cigar and tells you
to smoke itp Do your true friends
entice you to loaf on the street or in
houses where men and bows are swear
ing, cursing and using vile language?
Do your true friends ask you to 90 into
saloons and drink? Do they tell you:
80, never mind; one glass of beer will
not hurt you; don't be a baby?" No,
boys; no. Your true friends show you
that it is wrong to be fool-hardy, simply
because men cheer you. They tell you
that it is sinful to swear; that chewing
and smoking and loating are bad habits,
and persuade you notsto form those
habits. And they warn you that drink
ing is a dangerous habit, that will ruin
both your bodies and souls. Your true
friends, boys, beg of you not to go
near the saloons. They beg of you not
to loaf, because idleness is a crime that
often leads boys into gambling halls,
and from gambling halls into other dens
of vice, and into saloons to wreck their
lives.
Then, boys. think! Remember that
your true friends will lead you away
from bad habits, keep you out Of saloons.
and help you to become honest and USE
full men.-ErchunQe.

COnsulnptiOns.

Consumption usually begins with q
slight, dry cough in the morning, then,
on going to bed, getting more and more
frequent, with more and more phlegm,
increasing debility, thinness of flesh,
shortness of breath and quickening pulse.
In fatal cases its average course is about
two years, hence the Importance of ar
resting the disease at as early a stage as
possible, and the sooner rational means
are employed for this purpose, the
greater the chances of success:
The disease is owing to an irritation
commencing in the throat and extending
to the lungs. so that their action is inter-
fered with, and the blood does not re-
ceive sufficient oxygen to purify it. The
first thing to be done, is to remove the
obstruction which is the irritation or con-
gestion of the lungs. Four ounces of
glycerine, two ounces of alcohol, two
ounces of water and one grain of NOR
phine make an excellent mixture for
relieving the cough. 1t should be taken
in doses of two teaspoonfuls every two
hours until the cough is relieved. The
chest, just below the neck, should be
rubbed with tartar-emetic ointment every
morning over space as large as the
hand, until thick crop of sores is
brought out; then rub the ointment be-
tween the sores to bring outa new crop.
Meantime the patient should take regu-
lar and vigorous exercise in the open air.
There is nothing that equals horseback
riding as remedy for this disease.
If consumptive were ito live in the
saddle and sleep out of doors, taking
care to keep the feet dry and warm. and
10 live upon good, nourishing food, in
short, to trough it" he would recover
his health in few months, even if the
disease had made considerable progress.
The trouble is that it requires strong
will to carry out so severe course, in
spite of the languor and debility which
disposes an invalid to quiet dependency.
The most marked sign of lung disease is
emaciation, and the most positive indi-
cation of returning health is increase IN
weight. Halls Journal of Health.

BALDWIN, Miss, August %, 1882.
Hon. @. q, Chandler, Corinth. Mississipph
DEAR SIR-Your farewell ad.
dress OF the thirteenth is before me
and noted. | am really sorry to
part with you, especially Ms you
seem so much chsgrined ut your
failure as a political pimp.
Tue effort 70 establish your po.i.
tical virtue, by saying that YOU al.
ways support tue best men, aud
best measures,will not do in this sec
ton Of fcountry, where the men and
measures you have supported are
well known. Your support of
Ames aud the bribe-taker, A. X.
Davis, is too fresh in the minds of
the people for you to undertake to
make them believe that you sup.
port the best men. Aud the op.
pressive measures aud robberies Of
the party to which yon belong are
OF too recent date for you to make
them believe that you always sup
port the best measures. You had
better wait a few years, if you ex-
pect to succeed, before you under.
take to make such Impressions.
The greatest wrong aud injustice
ever Inflicted on any people was
effected by yon and your party by
the stealing Of the presidency in
1876, and the public miud of all
parties have become so well salts
lied OF that fact that no one of any
standing has the audacity to dis
pute it. Your effort to vindicato
the grand larceny upon the priuci.
pie OF States rights, speaks but
little tor your general information
or knowledge of tue principles of
States rights.
Your twisting state smen,n elec.
ton commissioners aud returning
board scoundrels by fraud, cor.
ruption aud buying succeeded in
throwing out the vote of whole
parishes in Louisiana, aud By that
means succeeded in reversing the
action or the people at the ballot
box, aud corrupted the purity OF
elections, the platform that YOU
have vainly striven to make the
people believe you stand on. When
lis necessary to perpetrate u great
wrong upon the people of Louisiana
you invoke the principles of States
rights. Aud when it becomes
necessary to petrate q crime
upon tue State of Oregon, YOU
trample uuder foot the principles OF
States rights.
1t | am not very much mistaken,
you believe the States have no
rights that ought to be respected
by the federal government; that
the federal government by armed
military force has the right to break
up State legislatures aud organize
rumps in their stead; that State
courts can be broken up aud the
Judges arrested that the writ OF
ha0eas corpus can be suspended at
the will of the president. All these
things have been done by your
party, aud | have never heard any
protest made by you of the correct.
ness OF its action. Ii it were posi-.
ble to cause the cheek of republi.
can to blush, yours would certainly
be mantled with shame.
The allusion you make to NV put.
fishing your private letter is a coI .
temptible subteriuge to which YOU
resort to cover up the object YOU
hoped toacconplish when ! ou asked
me to run IN an independent candi.
date for congress. Ii you want tn
do anything Hereafter that you are
ashamed tor the public to see, keen
