ADJEcrIvEs.-We clip the following
/ from an exchange, to show what san be
done without the use OF adjectiveS, which


now appear in nearly every sentence writ


ten or spoken;


I've write this article for the purpose


of giving rest to our adjectives. We have


used them so much in trying to keep pace


with the times, that they are beginning to
mean less, and we wish them to recover
strength before we write more. Perhaps
we cannot expect to do this favor for all at
once Those whose office it is to define
and point out, make no show, but are al
ways ready to do duty, like some farmers
horses, which nobody admires for beauty
or speed, yet which p!od on, day after day,
and do the bulk of the work. These, of
course, can not have a vacation unless we
do; but those that sound, that give gloss
and CLEAN and glitter TO descriptions, our
Longfellows and Bassotts, must have rest.
For there may come a race by and by.
Visions of loveIiness or grandeur beyond
what we have already un lertaken to des-
cribe, may bless our eyes, aud then how
shall We picture them if our adjectives
have spent their force over affairs without
interest LongtelIoWS should not ploW.


Were we given to dependency, we
should fear that the words now used in de-
lineating whatever commands admiration,
or awe, viii soon wear out,
leaving no language Of light or color TO
picture our ideas. But We remember that
makers of words still live, aud fnd COM
fort in passages which have no superiors
in beauty and sublimty. Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toll
not, neither do they spin; and yet l say
into you that Solomon, in all his glory,
vas not arrayed like one of these And
3od said, let there be light; and there
vas light Who has inspiration, can do
without adieetives.''

HIS generous and benevolent nature was
gladdened at the close by the result of his
proclamation, which gave freedom to four
millions in bondage, and contributed in no
small degree to the suppression OF the rebel
lion and to the preservation and perpetua-

measure, adopted under imperious necessity
and with responsibilities and sOlemnity
that few can appreciate, cheered the last
days of the extraordinary man, to whom
alone belongs the credit, as he assumed the
consequence of the act, and whose untimely
death the nation will ever have cause to de-
plore. Love for his country, its constitu-
tion. and the Union which he had been
chosen to guard, was the controlling infu-
enee that governed him in one of the most
important and responsible measure ever de.

Do IT Now.-Don't live single hour

and then to the next thing. without letting
any moments drop out between. 1t is
wonderful to see how many hours these
prompt people contrive to make of day

the dwadlers lost. And if you find your

into file and follow after like well-driled
soldiers; and though work may be hard to
meet when it charges in squad, it is easily
vanquished if you can bring it into line,

The Presidents message on the civil SER
vice report has materially affected the pros
pect for third political party. 1t was be-
coming obvious that the chief principle Oh
which such party must be built up was
civil service reform. On almost all other
questions, the opponents of the admins
tration were too much divided among
themselves to heartily combine. The
Presidents adherence to the only practic-
able reform programme yet offered, takes
away the capital of the opposition. The
sincerity and heartiness of his adherence
is indeed questioned by some, and bitterly
impugned 10y some. But the general dis
position to take General Grant at his word,
which includes many who had before been
unfriendly, makes it apparent that the
present chance Of a successful new combi-
nation is very small. What dissatisfac-
ton exists against the President is largely
of a personal nature. 1t is such as might
be formidable within the party, if there
were other prominent candidates to unite
on but it is hardly Of kind to coalesce
with the Democratic opposition in form
ing new party. New parties must be
born of principles, and the principle that
can attract such Republicans as Sumner
and Schurz and Greeley into harmony
with the Democracy of the New York

The news we give this morning of the
death of Horace Greeley will be received
with profound astonishment and regret

America was respected, for during the last
half century he has been prominentin in our
history as one of our foremost and ablest
journalists. The hour at which the news
of his death reaches us III p. NJ makes
any extended notice impossible. -'1


Without respect to late political differ
ences, the broad mantle of charity will be
spread oyer the faults of his busy life, and
he will go down to his grave as one of the
foremost and most useful of American citi-
zens, and in the hour of profound national
sorrow many heart will warm with SYM
pathy for his only child who in few short
weeks has been called to mourn the death
of mother, next of, her betrothed who
was lost at sea and now of her father to
whom she was devotedly attached.

of such painful and sudden domestic be

MEDICAL JUDGMENT OF SEWING MA
CHINEs.-During the late session of the
State Medical Society of Virginia, at Staun-
ton, DIR. Parker read very interesting pa,
per on the subject of sewing machines and
their effect on the health of females, in
which these conclusions were announced:


First. That fatigue is not disease, and that
there is no reason to conclude that the use
of the muscles employed in machine work
for reasonable time is injurious. Second.
That the machine may be used for four or
five hours daily in family by a lady in
ordinary health without injury. Third.
That the damage to health in the factory
is due to the hygienic conditions under
which the work is done, and the natural
delicacy of some of the operatives, unfit
ting them for long continued labor of any
kind. Fourth. That the sewing ma
chine is great boon to womankind, in
creasing her compensation, protecting her
sight, and in the family lessening her la
bOrs.
