say: "The whole ticket is opposed to

of 1862 Mr.. Sullivan has forty puges of

In 1861, the Mcclellan Presidential

OF that Convention delivered II speech

The result Of the election was disns- |

he got n bare two hundred. On the

Head Foremost VS.. Feet Foremos,

There has been some discussion
to whether one lying in sleeping
should place his feet toward the 10

His doctor believes that persons
travel much by rail should take
sorts of positions A German phy
clan, DR.. Outten, says that if a person
lies with his feet toward the engine the
movement of the car tends to draw the
blood from the brain to the feet, cere-
bral anRmia is produced and then
sleep. But if he lies with his head
nearer the locomotive Gas is the Gus
tom in Germany, there is produced
cerebral hyperemia, incompatible with
sweet repose. DR.. Mcbride, of the
Milwaukee Insane Asylum, advises ex-
actly the reverse. He holds that with
the feet toward the engine the blood
tends to the head. In the starting Of
train momentum is first given to the
car. Bodies in the car resist for mo-
ment, and then acquire the same mo
mentum. But on the least increase of
speed they offer resistance-they are
not disposed to go as fast as the car.
A round marble placed on board viii
roll back when the board is moved
rapidly, and he thinks it reasonable to
suppose that in a human body the
blood constantly offers resistance to
the motion of the train. Therefore,
with the feet to the engine, the blood
will seek the brain. For this reason
DR.. Mcbride urges sleeping with the
head toward the engine.

move to Mississippi. They discuss
ed the sewing machine de bL and
concluded to leave an old COW and
her calf on the place fer Mr, Swine
broad to go and get as pay. Ac-
cordingly when they had pulled up
stakes, they informed the old COW
she was to be left behind as the prop~
erty OF one A. J. Swinebroad, a

to intern Mr.. SvinebroAd of the
facts. The nelghbor soon came 10

Marriage aAd ChiIdrsA.
BinArp.

Bill Arp.
Pleasing the children is the big>
gest part oflife, and is what most
every family man is living for,
though he don't realize 1t, and
would hardly acknowledge it if he
did. It is the power behind the
throne, the incentive that stimu-
lates every parent to be up and do
lag. THEN daily presence, their
dependence, their helplessness, en-
larges his love and broadens his
charity. He has more respect for
himself. for he feels that the love of
children is a nob!er thing than the
love OF money or power or fame.
Mankind mast have something to
love, and 50 they will love money
or fame if they have no children. A
rich man without children ought to
adopt some just for his own sake.
The patsrnal relation is the natural
relation, and no man or woman is
happy outside ofit-not as happy
they might have been. Our young
men ought to marry marry wheth-
er they can afford to or not. 1t is
the law of God and Of nature. Mar
ry when the first pure love of wSman
comes over you, Don't get alarms
ed ct her silks and satins, for she Is
just wearing them to attract you
and Will sober down to business when
you marry. There Will soon be
others to live TOR and work for, and
the fnery must go if You can't at
ford it. l always tremble for these
travellers whom | meet everywhere
on the rail-these nice young men
of good families who are doing the
commercial business OF the country.
They don't stay long ensugh in a
place to fall IN love, and by and by
the whole south land will he full
of confirmed bachelors who will
soon get old and ssedy and wear out
and dis without mourners and only
enough friends to bury them. They
will die and leave no sign. Let the
young man marry and if lie does
have to travel he viii get home now
and then AM there will always be a
light IN the window for him. The
faithful dog will bark a good well
come at his coming, and the wife
aud the children be so happy, ever
so happy.
