COINS CuREp.-Tt would be a saving Of hu-
man health and happiness, and life itself if
the periodical press would never publish re-
cipe for any human ailment, which involved
tnc taking of anything into the stomach.


Some scrap editor characterizes it as an ex,
ceent remedy for cough caused by a com
mon cold, to soak an unbroken egg for forty.
eight hours in half pint of vinegar, then add
as much honey, break up all together, and
take teaspoonful for a dose several times a
day.


If the writer of that recipe had possessed
the smallest amount Of common observation
he would have known that if a man begins to
congh at the result of common cold it is
the result of nature herself attempting cure,
and she will effect 10 in her own time, and
more effectually than any man can do, if she
is only let alone and her instincts cherished
What are those instincts? She abhors food
and Graves warmth Hence the moment a
man is satisfied that he has taken a cold, let
him do three things lst eat not an atom !;
I'd, 60 to bed and cover up warm in a warm
room 3d. drink as much cold water as he
wants, or as much hot herb tea as he can, and
in three cases out of four he will be almost
entirely we'll within thirty six hours.


If he does nothing for his cold for forty
eight hours after the cough commences, there
is nothing that will by any possibility, do him
any good for the cold with such a start, will
run its course of about a fortnight in spite of
all that can be done, and what is swallowed
in the meantime, in the way of physic, is a
hiDdrance and not good.


Feed cold and starve fever is mis-
chievous fallacy. A cold always brings Il
fever, the cold never begins to get well until
the fever begins to subSide but every mouth
full swallowed is that much more fuel to feed
the fever, and, but for the fact that as soon as
the cold is fairly seated, nature in a kind Of
! desperation, steps in and takes away the ap-
petite, the commonest colds would be followed
by very serious results, aud in frail people could
be almost always fatal.-HaWs Journal o.

LwAYS LOOK ON THE SUNNY
Always look on the sunny side,


And though life cheeker'd be,
A lightsOme heart bids care depart, .
And time fly pleasantly;
Why sit and mourn DER faucied ills
When danger is not near,
Care is a self-consuming thing,


The hardest man can wear.
Always look on the sunny side,
And though you do not find
All things according to your wish,
Be not disturbed in mind
The greatest evil that can come
Are lighter far to bear,
When met by fortitude and strength,
Instead of doubt and fear.
Always look on the sunny side
There's health in harmless jest,
And much to soothe our worldly cares
In hoping for the best.
The gloomy path is far too dark,
For happy feet to tread,
And tells of pain and solit tude,


OF friends estranged aud dead.
Always look on the sunny side,


And never yield to doubt:
The ways of Providence are wise,
And faith will bear you out.
II you but make this maxim yours,
And in the strength abide,
Believing all is for the best


Look on the sunny side.

HoNrLY WoHAN-We like bOmely women
We have always liked them. We do not car
ry the pccuiarity far enough to include the
positively ugly, for since beauty and money are
the only capital the world will recognize in
woman, they are more to be ptied than ad
mired but we have a chiyalric, enthusiastic
regard for plain women.


We Scarrely ever saw cne who was not mod
est, unassuming and sweet tempered, and have
seldom come across Jne who was not virtuous
and had not a good heart


Made aware early in life of their want of
beauty by the Sights aud inattentions of the
opposite sex, vanity and alfectaton never take
root in their hearts and in the hope of sup
plying attractions which q CapricouS nature
has denied, they cultivate the @raceS of the
heart instead Of the person, and give to the
mind those accomplishments which the world
so rarely appreciates in woman, but which are
more lasting, and in the eyes Of men of sense,
more highly priced than personal beauty. See
them in the street, at home, or in the church
and they are always tie same and the smile
which ever lives upon the face is not forced to
fascinatr, but is the spontaneous sunshine re-
fccted from kind heart-a flower which takes
root in the soul and blooms upon the lips, IN
spring respect instead of passion, emotions Of
admiration instead of feelings of sensual re-
gard. Plain women make good wives, good
mothers, cheerful homes and happy husbands,
aud we never see one but we thank heaven
that it has kindly created women Of sense as
well as beauty for it is indeed seldom that a
female is found possessing both. To homely
women we, therefore, lift our hat especially;
the world will extend the same courtesy to
beauty.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SENATOR BRoDERICK's
DEATH.-When the Governor sent in his
message announcing the death of Senator
Broderiek and the vacancy thereby OCCASION
ed, it was reasonably expected that the legis-
iature, as is customary, would have adjourn
ed ior season, out of respect to a deceased
senator OF their own State. So far from il


they paid scarcely any attention to the mes
sage and went on to consider. with most in
decent haste, the question as to the time Of
holding joint convention of the two Ho,sos
for electing a successor to fill the vacancy


We have waited for some days to see il
some member would not allude to this blair
breach Of propriety on the part of the rul
ing majority, (as we conceive,) but, seeing
nothing of the kind, we must be allowed t.
say that the present Legislature has in oui
opinion done itself no credit by this omission
Whether it was the result Of ignorance or in
tended as a deliberate insult to the dead. we
know not, but in either case we do honestly
think that the Legislature has disappointed
the just expectations of the people. 1t may
be that we are in error, in our notions Of
what is due to deceased Senator. If we
are, we should like to be corrected by some
older editor who knows better than we the
amount of respect which should be paid to
the memory of Representative of sover-
eign State Of the Union in the Senate of the

! By her Senators and Representatives in Con.
gress, who have for over fifty years solsmnly and
publicly sworn fidelity to the Constitution unJ
the la rs Of the Union, Kentucky stands pledged.
By her long and honorable array of Governors
and her many thousand Representatives ard SEN
a.Or in her Legislature, who are scattered through
every county of the State; by her honorable
Judges; by the spontaneous expressions Of her
people; and above ALL by their love and devotion
to that country for which Ksntockiano have SO
often shed their blood; by all these pledges, and
bonds. is Kentucky bound to the Union.


And even if there were no such pledres an
nually repeaIed-no interw eaving of loyalty
with the whole social fabric and honor Of the
cOmmunity-we are bound beyond all revocation
ty the solemn acts of our forefathers in the for
nation of the Federal Government to which they
surrendered the Independence OF States, counties
towns, and Individuals, and in that Surrender
pledge their honor the governmental compact
formed between the people of all the States.


Itis utterly vain and futile to say that because
a State may have originally Voluntarily entered
as an inependent community into the federal com
pact therefore she hns still the right as an indie
pendent body polite voluntarily and freely to
withdraw whenever she iancies herself in any
way aggrieVed.


As we'll might the man who has signed con-
tract for The purchase of farm, or the payment
Of a sum Of money, claim the right as an inde-
pendent gentleman to withdraw from the fulfill
ment of hfS contract, whenever hs is displeased,
because he was an independent voluntary agent
in making the contract. As we'll might the land
owner who has given to his city or county the
land for street or road claim the right when
ever displeased with his neigh5Or to withdraw
the conveyance and deprive his fellow citizens
of the rights which they had acquired,


All those wild notions arise from that deteri-
oation Of the moral sense OF which our political
history has recently given SO many examples.


The right Of secession is like the righ. of the
debtor to repudia,e bis debts-the right of the
landlord TO reclaim the lsnd that he had sold and
been paid fOr-Or the right Of the husband to re-
pudiAte his wife and renounce his childVen. It is

for the world-including the respective
families Of the young perSons-to hear
them? Is not your young man a flirt,
a desperate fellow, in whom there is
danger, if he is known to visit a dozen
young girls at the same time? Is it
anybody's business if he seeks pleasure
in the society Of the ladies instead of
in the streets, or in the drinking saloons.
Which is the better way to spend his
evenings? Has not this modern pro-
pr5ety something to do with the terri
ble outlawry and viciousness Of our
young men? Has not rigid, ghastly ct
lquette driven them from the parlor to
the rum shop, and worse? In days Of

OUR You've MEN.-XNe commend
a careful perusal Of the following truth
ful paragraphs, which we clip from an
exchange, and which, we think, may
well be applied to our village:


"Our young men are painful study.
AS they lounge about the streets with
bold, leering faces, poisoning the air
with oaths, or whirling along behind
lashed horses, or loom up dimly amid
the smoky glare Of haunts of folly, sin
and shame; it is sickening to reflect
that with them rests the future Of our
country, and in them lies it's hope It
is no wonder that the hearts Of fathers,
and mothers, and sisters, are filed with
dread and grief! no wonder that the

less companion for him than a cursing,
tippling fellow, who thinks all manner
Of sin and Stiffness manly, and will trav-

TIE Folly OF THE Projection DOCTRINE
The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Breckinridge
paper, says:


"The decision to insist on special Congress
sional interposition for the protection of sla-
very in the territories, amounts to dissou-
tion of the confederacy. 1t cannot be obtain
ed and if we determine to insist upon it to
oil extremities (Which we should certainly
do if it is a clear and valuable right then W e
may prepare ourselves at once for national
as well as a party disruption. No man can
believe that Congressional protection before
q Congress so largely freesoi can meet with
a better fate than it did before the Democrat
ic Convention"


The Columbus (Ga.) Times, another Breck
inridge paper, said before the meeting of the
Charleston Convention:


"What platform shall be insisted upon as
an ultimatum ? Shall it be the recognition
of the doctrine of protection and a pledge
that Congress shall intervene when necessa-
rys We say no! Why insert this principle
in platform before there is any cali for its
direct application and before Legislation is
demanded by reason of rights sacrificed in

pie as correct in theory, and will never part

ment, when there is a case in point, but why
anticipate the ends? Why not wait until
