Eat Your Breakfast First.

DIR. Hall is authority for the follow
ing thoughts upon breakfasting before
much exercise in the open air, partic-
ularly in the districts where fever and
ague are abundant. Breakfast should
be eaten in the morning before leav-
ing the house for exercise or labor of
any description; those who do it will
be able to perform more work with
greater alacrity than those who work
an hour or two before breakfast. Be-
sides this, the average duration of life
of those who work will be a number
of years greater than those who do
otherwise. Most persons begin to feel
weak after having been engaged five
or six weeks in their ordinary avoca-
tions.
A good meal reinvigorates /; but from
the last meal of the day until the next
morning their is an interval of some
twelve hours; herce the body in a
sence is weak, and in proportion can.
not resist deleterious agencies whether
of the fierce cold of mid-winter or of
the poisonous miasm which rests upon
the surface Of the earth wherever the
sun shines Oh blade of vegetation or
a heat of offal This miasm is more
solid, more concentrated, and hence
more malignant about sunrise and
sunset than any other hour of the
twenty-four because the cold of the
night condenses it, and it is on the
first few inches above the soil in its
most solid form but as the sun rises
it warns and expands and ascends to
point high enough to be breathed,
and being taken into the lungs and
swallowed with the saliva into the
stomach, all weak and empty as it is,
it is greedily drank in, thrown imme-
diately into the circulation of the
blood and carried to every part of the
body, depositing its poisonous influence
at the very fountain head of life. If
early breakfast were taken in regions
where chills and fever and ague pre-
vail, and if, in addition, brisk fire
were kindled in the family room for
an hour, including sunrise and sunset,
these troublesome maladies would
diminish in any one year not ten-fold,
but a thousand fold, because the heat
of the fire would rarity the miasmatic
air instantly and send it above the
breathing point. But it is 'trouble-
some" to be building fires night and
morning all summer; it being no
trouble" requiring no effort, to shiver
and shake by the hour, weeks, and
months together.

God fishes souls with a line; the

All those who know their mind do
not know their heart.
In prosperity work is duty; in
misfortune it is refuge.

We pass often from love to ambi.

In the adversely of our best friends
we often find something that is not

Absence diminishes the ordinary

There are persons who have more

There is more vanity and caprice in

One of the most brutal robberies that ever occurred in Colorado, took
 place at Petersburg Grove, seven
 miles from Denver. At that. place resides all old bachelor, Peter Oleson, who usually kept small sums of mon- ey hid about the premises. A few nights since four disguised men went to the house and knocked, as custo- mary in the country. The farmer asked the visitors to come Tn. As soon as all were inside, they siezed Oleson, threw him on the floor and held him, and demanded to know where his money was. He replied that he had none. After thoroughly searching the house to no purpose, Olesone still refusing to tell where his money was hId, the robbers got willow switches and whipped his bare feet and legs until they were covered with blood. He still refusing, they built 6 large fire in the back yard, carried Oleson ont and pro ceeded to execute their threat 10 roast him alive. They placed his feet in the fire and literally roasted them. Even this terrible treatment would not open his mouth. The old man was then compelled to walk back to the house, where a scuf1e ensued, during which the stove was over turned, disclosing q money box con- tanning $500, which the robbers took and deCsmPed.

The Marysville Appeal says: "Ohic has given a Democratic majority, but one that can be reversed by change of six votes in the 2,000 wards and precincts of the State. Who does not know that the prohibition issue lost the Republicans more than six votes in the precincts and wards of the State. Few Republicans believe that the Buckeye State will vote m 1884 for a Democratic President. If Republicans were es confident of New York, New Jersey and Indiana, as they are of Ohio's vote in 1884, they would not worry about the re suit of the next presidential elec- tioa.

After some little time had been consumed in abusing each other, Hill started toward White .wno pulled his revolver, at sight of which Hiil started to walk away, but snd- denly turned and pulled his revolver, when two reports rang out at the same time. Both men continued to nre until their pistols were empty. Only one shot of the ten took effect and that in the groin of Hill, who will probably die. White surrendered himself.
