Jefferson's Ten Rules.

Jetferson's ten rules are good vet They are short and concise. and em- body so much of value that it would be well if they wero clipped and put where we could see them often. They read as follows:
 l. Never put off until to-morrow what can be done to-day.
 ,. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
 ,. Never spend your money before you have it.
 4 Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap.
 }. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
 6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
 :. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly
 x. How much pain the evils have cost us that have never happened.
 9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
 10. When angry count ten before you speak; if very angry. count on, hundred.

 The Independent has never gone back on the principles of the Jeffcr- sonian democracy. and will always adhere to those principles.

 The eye that is unusually bright and yet has pallid brightness. the face upon whose cheeks nature paints a rose of singular beauty and flush. more marked in contrast with the alabaster appearance of the forehead and nose and lower part of the face, is one of those whom the skilled phy- sican will tell you will some day dread the funereal month of March because it is then the consumption reaps its richest harvest. Consump- ton they tell Us is caused by this. that and the other thing. by micro bes in the air, by deficient nutrition, by thousand and one things. but whatever the cause. decay begins with q cough and the remedy that will effectually stop the cause of that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
 That is all there is of it.
 The cough is an evidence of q wasting. To stop it cffectually. a remedy must be used that will search out the cause. remove that and then heal the lungs and do away with the cough. This is the power. special to itself. possessed alone by War ner's Log Cabin Cough and Con sumption remedy. This is no new fangled notion of narcotics and pois- ons. but an old-fashioned prepara- ton of halsams. roots and herbs. such as was used by our ancest ors many years ago. the formula of which has been secured exclusively hv the present manufacturers at great trouble and expense.
