II may seem hard that The man who
In youth has known the pinch of pow
erly, who remembers how The cut OF
mutton with a supply of potatoes and
greens scarcely snfficed for = vigorous
appetite, should find that In the pros
perity OF later life an elght-course din
nor OF deicacies falls TO tempt him,and
that, nevertheless, his physician warns
him that the attack Of g0ut from which
he Is suffering means that ho is eating
too much aud that his diet must be
lowered.
Is life then never TO give satisiac-

One Of the many splendid examples
Is that OF q gentleman now In posses

lived on salary Of 10 shillIngs q week.
lie early made up his mind that to eat
little aud drink less would be his rule
In life. To this resolution he has adj
hercd, though fortune has come to him.
Nearly an octogenarian he is still a
man Of untiring vigor of body and
mind. Simple in life, he dispenscs his
great fortune rs a custodian for his
Master, while living amid the refine
ment and cultured surroundings of an
English gentleman.
Sir George Humphrey has invesii-
gated tho lifc histories of ccntenarians
In England with the view of ascertain
Ing the causes aud circumstances Of
longevity. AS one reads of the habits
and life Of these men and women who
attained to the age OF 100 years aud
more, one is struck by the fact that they
were almost invariably lean people. Of

Good Doctrine.

Everybody in Vicksburg should
''turn over new leaf" in regard to
patronizing home industries and
home establishments. Money sent
to distant cities, in order to save a
few cents, or even a few dollars,
never comes back again, and the
people here who practice this sort
of economy injure themselves in
the long run.-Vicksburg Post.

G. w. Bailey was in town Tues
day with the foot of an eagle which
was killed few days since on bis
place, six miles south OF here, on
Pearl river. The eagle was a genu-
inc specimen of the gray eagle and
measured seven feet, two inches,
from tip to tip of wings. One leg
had been broken evidently by a shot
and he was found on the ground
resting, and was beaten TO death
with sticks.-Terry Headlight.

advice to member Of the press;
"Brothers ~of the quill, we counsel

Some men who we're digging q well

Nature demands that every being
shall be self-sufficing. All that are
not so, nature is perpetually with
drawing by death. Intelligence suf-
ficient to avoid danger, power enough
to fulfil every condition, ability to
cope with the necessities of existence
these are qualifications invariably
insisted on. Mark how the diseased
are dealt with. Consumptive pa
tients, with lungs incompetent to
perform the duties of lungs, people
with assimilative organs that viii not
take up enough nutriment, people
with detective hearts that break down
under excitement Of the circulation,
people with any constitutional flaw
preventing due fulfilment of the con-
disions Of life, are continually dying
out, and leaving behind those fit for
the climate, food and habits to which
lhey are born. Even the less-imper-
fectly organized, who under ordinary
circumstances, can manage 10 live
with comfort, are still the first to be
carried off by epidsmics; and only
such as are robust enough 10 resist
thesa-thal il, such as are tolerably
we'll adapted TO both the usual and
incidental necessities OF existence, re-
main. Thns IL the race kept free
from yiliafion =Hsrosrl Spencer.

volumes il connected with the museum,

brary of works bearing on the particular

trict schools in Wisconsin and Illinois
and in 1851 went to California There

IL you have been renting a

and think how much you have
paid out in rent, and If you have
been renting long you will soon
figure out that you have paid out
enough for rent to build as good

your own. Why not put this
money into

in which you will feel a. natural
