this The wisdom of the con-
vention is not doubted nor yet
it's patriotism. We have no
doubt whatever but that the
members Of the convention are
all animated by a desire to DO
right. But that is not the ques
ton. The question IL simply
one as to whether the wisdom,
good sense and judgment of
I3i men in convention assem-
bIed are as great as the entire
body of the people of the State
Precedent has nothing to DO
with the matter. The policy is
dangerous. The people are
looking public questions ia the
face as they never have before.
They want a satisfactory consti
tuition and they mean TO have
one. How can the test be bet
ter made than by letting the peO
pie Judge of the matter at the
polls They will there decide
what IL best. Let the voice of
the people be heard, not stihed.

An eminent physician de-
elares that the exclusion of sun
light from a sick room is the
most injurious of practices. 1t
Is not only that dirt and disor
der are born Of darkness, but a
great remedy is lost. Sunlight
diffused through a room warns
and clarifies the air. IL has a
direct influence upon the mi
mute organic poisons. II has,
too, cheerful effect on tine
mind. The sick should never
be gloomy, and in the presence
of light the shadows of gloom
hy away. Happily the hospital
ward, Notwithstanding its de-
feets, and it has many, is SO far
favored that it is bless with the
light of the sun whenever the
sun shines. In private practice
the same remedy ought to be
extended TO the patients of the
household, and the first words
ofthe physician or surgeon on
entering the dark, sickroom
should be the dying exeIama-
ton of Goeth more light,
more ~light-'-Republic.

You may fly to the wllds of the DESERT
The uttermost isles of the sea,
To the height of the far towering mountain
Beyond where the wild chamois fee;
The desert may hold like Jewel
Its emerald oasis bright,
Where your caravanned cares may refresh them,
Or put up their tents for the night.
The sweet spicy isles, like nepenthe,
May steep all your senses the while,
The high towering mountains deep silence
Lies Ills and llfes sorrows begue;
But your caravanned cares will not tarry
Behind In the desert to stay,
But will journey and camp ever near you,
And shadow you all of life's way!
Nor will they sleep long for nepenthe
In the beautiful isles of the sea,
But will waken with energies freshened
And follow wherever you tiee
The mountains deep silence may hush them,
Its grandeur and solitude fall
Like mantle Unfolding the spirit
Far above human strife and Its pail.
With sense of relief as earths kingdoms
Stretch meath, like banner unfurled,
But their tones will be heard in the clamor
When you mlngle again with the world.
You may seek, vainly seek for longed respite,
From tropic to iced polar wave,
p But the rest that is sweetest to mortals
Is that of the cradle and gravel
You may seek for surcease in CAVERN
The deepest meath Neptune's blue tide,
Some ghost of a grief will glide with you.
And take its abode by your side;
Though Andromeda. like, you may bnld 1t,
Some Perseus sewers the chain;
Though hid in the unverses darkness,
Twill CLEAN in the heavens again.
You may seek balm in wealth in honors,
In love, or in fame for day,
In Promethean powers to fashion
The minds of mankind as OF clay;
Though these may compensate for many
A blessing that earth never gave.
The rest that is sweetest to mortrls,
Is that of the cradle and gravel
