We find in the New York Tribune a notice of a meeting of the Indian Commission, held at Cooper Institute in that city Apill2l!th, at which remarks were made by Peter Cooper, Vincent Colyer, and among others our Representative in Congress. We copy the report ol what Mr. J ulian said: Mr. Julian said ho had no idea of beig called upon to make a speech. If he j attempted to say anything it would be a J ingle word regarding the policy of the f tlovcrnuicnt in dealing with the lands of I our Indian tribes. l-'oimtrly when a tribe j id' Indians determined to pait with the i title to tln ir lands they conveyed it di- j Urtly to the United States, and it fell un- i kr the jurisdiction and management of j Congress. They were subject to the I llotcistead laws. Within the last few ! Jiars a new policy has been inaugurated. Now the lands are conveyed by treaty diratly to bouie raitread corporation or individual peculators or monopolists. This is doii'i in disregard of the rights of setlleis, ai.d on terms utterly ruinous to the nation. As these monopolists and speculators have faculties much more than a n atih lor the Indian, the Indian is worst. d in the operation. The bargain so Untck, assumes the form and name of a treaty, and finds its way to Washington d ts sent to the Senate and becomes a secret document. And some afternoon when the Senate are tired, and only a few present; tu one case only three present, possibly being in the interest of the ring outside, ratify the treaty and the mischief is done.

VOL. 9, NO. 2IJ From the Riottmood Radical. Speech of Hon. D. D. Pratt. We are really under obligations to Mr. Pratt for a copy of his speech in the Senate, April 27, oo the payment of war loss, es, principally those suffered by Southern loyalists. In it we find a marked exception to the "common run" of Congression. al speeches, where, on dipping into them we seldom find anything to attract contin. tied perusal. Not so with this of Mr. Pratt. Here we have a sound lesral and logical argument, a resume of interesting' historical facts, illustrated by apt observa- j lions ana reflections, and clothed in excellent language, often beautiful, sometimes eloquent. Our readers we think, will be somewhat astonished, as we confess we were, at learning from a table given in this speech, furnished bv the Ad jutant General, that therTwere so many loyal men recruited in the revolted States, not only black but white, there being white recruits reported from every one of them except South Carolina. The aggregate number of loyal enlistments were as follows: white 43,072; colored 93.34G; total, 141,418. All these Were in the ac tual military service of the United States. The number of other Southern loyalists who suffered losses of property in consequence of the war, and who, Mr. Pratt contends, upon proper proof are justly entitled to restitution from the Government, it would be more difficult to estimate. We quote a few paragrsphs from the close of the speech as fair bain pies of its style and spirit: 'Let me suppose a citizen obeying both his duty and bis instict of loyalty, by serving in the racks of the Army while insurgents are ravaging his property; burning his dwelling, his barns and stacks. He is consoled in thinking his Government is doing all in its power to put down the insurrection, uut suppose while he was fighting at Gettysburg, another branch of the Army on a distant field, in Mississippi, was driving off his flocks and herds for its support in "enemies' country;" is there no liability here? Shall he, in the national uniform, drawing pay as a soldier, fighting at this very moment for his country, be denounced a constructive enemy and stripped of his property as if he were a trait 01? Hoes not the case 1 put up scatter to the winds the dogma upon which compensation is denied him? "Sir, if it be true that the few whose cause L plead must endure their losses, why not strike all the pensioners off the rolls? Nay, why pension at all? To what end arc these many millions of pension money drawn from the industry and capital of the country every year? lo you say it is to compensate those whom the toitunes of war have crippled and made less able to support themselves? Whv, by the same rule, should voii not indemnity those whose substance contiibuted, in conjunction with the soldier's valor, to bring about the result? Why and upon what principle are you guilty of the inconsistmcy jf compensating and pensioning a man as a Union soldier, and robbing him of his property as a constructive enemy? "Sir, when 1 consider the results which have followed the war, I feel that no amount of money we can expend in doing justice, can measure the benefits to liberty, humanity, and freedom we have acquired. '1 he imagination cannot take in the grand future in store for this nation, if it be true to the principles upon which it is founded. That cause ol shipwreck which the lathers feared has disappeared. That rock to which all political prophecy pointed as the one against which the ship of State should be dashed to pieces, has sunk forever in the ocean. She tloais upon a calm sea with no cloud visible in all the horizon. There are no more bond and free. The sun which looks down upon forty million people, sees not a single slave in the whole of this Kepublie. We have ingrafted upon the Constitution that freedom and civil and political equality henceforth belong to all. Shall we in whose keeping is now the good name of the nation, shall we who ate writing its history, blot the page which records the complete restoration of the Union by an act of signal injustice to these suffering loyal men? No, sir; let us rather so administer our trust, while the honor of this great nation is in our keeping, that men shall ever say its greatness was excelled by its virtue. Let us do nothing that shall cause this loyal soul for whom I plead to heave a sigh so gentle, it may be, as to fall only upon the alllistening Mar; a sigh bubbling up from this wounded heart, scarce confessed, that this unjust Government was not worth the sacrifices made to save it. No, sir; in disposing of this question let us do nothing to make him doubt the justice of God, or mourn the ingratitude of his country." The whole speech does equal honor to the head and heart cf the speaker, and cannot fail to accelerate his progress to that honorable recognition before the country to which his superior abilities and high character so justly entitle him a progress which only his own modesty has tended to retard, but which on that account, we predict, will be all the mora signal and permanent.

THE UNION, THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS."

Indiana State Fair, 1870. The eighteenth annual State Fair will be held at the city of Indianapolis, commencing Monday, October 3, and continuing the entire week. A liberal and well arranged premium list has been adopted amounting to over $12,000, payable mostly in cash, and the remainder, in diplomas and valuable and interesting bronze silver and gold medals. The State Board has spared no labor nor expense in beautifying and substantit'.ly improving their Pair Grounds, and for beauty, convenience ani comfort they have but few equals in any of the States of the Union. Indiana State Fairs are conducted on a very liberal scale competition being equall open to other States and the whole world and all strangers are treated courteously and kiudly, and granted all favors and privileges that are extended to our own citizens. For the last ten years the business and Fairs of the State Hoard, financially, have been a grand success, having paid off some $12,000 or 15,000 of old debts, expended some 3,000 or $D,000 in improving our Fair Grounds, and promptly paid every premium awarded and alt expenses incurred. The Doard is in a sound and substantial condition in the full vigor of life and manhood has facilties and money at command, and at the coming fair will promptly pay every premium awarded and every dollar of expense incurred regardless of the result of the exhibition. Indiana farmers, machanics, manufactures and artisans, having due regard for their own interests as well as a proper State pride, must appreciate the great importauce of attending these annual festivals. The annual meetings andexhibitions un der the auspices of the State Hoard and State Geologist, have done, and properly conducted, will continue to do more to develop tke wealth and resources of the State and to introduce manufactures and laborsaving machines, than all other exhibitions and influences combined. The fair will be held on our own fair grounds, known during the war as Camp Morton, which is now fitted up in the latest and most approved style for convenience and comfort, and prussesses one of the best time tracks in the West. The usual arrangement Tor half fare for passengers and freight has been made with till the railroads and their connections running to the city of Indianapolis, and every facility will be offered the public to visit the Pair. The hotel and boarding-house accommodations in Indianapolis are ample, and all visitors and exhibitors will be kindly received aud made comfortable at reasonable rates. This institution was authorized by the State Legislature, as a State organization, intended for the encouragement and especial benefit of the agricultural, and manufacturing interests of the wholeState. The members of the State Board are elected by the delegates fiom the county-societies, from the various districts, and represent all classes and interests of the people of our entire community. it is the business of the Stato Board to make proper arrangements and to furnish convenient and suitable accommodations for the exhibition of all the products of the State, and it is the duty and interest of the people to encourage aud assist them in their official duties, and to raise, prepare, cultivate and manufacture the various products of the State, and display and exhibit them at our annual Fairs in such perfection as to dojustice to the interests they are intended to represent. To the stock growers and farmers these Fairs are especially beneficial, and it is their peculiar interest to see that they are sustained and properly managed. The Indiana State Hoard kindly acknowledge the warm and liberal support of the people of the entire State, and with a contiunation of their favors, are determined to do their whole duty for the success aud interests of our whole community. Joseph Poole, Sec. Ind. S. B. A. Thoughts for the Thoughtful. Some astronomers have computed that there are no less than 75,000,000 of suns in this univetse. The fixed stars are all suus, having, like our sun, numerous plan, ets rovolving round them. The solar system, or that to which we belong, has about thirty planets, primary and secondary, belonging to it. The circular field of space which it occupies is in diametet three thousand six hundred millions of miles; aud that which it controls much greater. That sun which is nearest neighbor to ours is called Sirius, distant from our sun about twenty-two billions of miles. Now, if all the fixed stars are as distant from each other as Sirius is from our sun, if the solar system be the average magnitude of all the systems of the 73 millions of suns, what imagination can grasp the immensity of creation? Every sun of the 7i millions controls a field of space about 10,000,000,000 or miles in diameter. Who can survey a plantation containing 75 millions of circular fields, each ten billions of miles? Such, however, is one of i the plantations of lliui who has measured j the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with, a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, weighed the mountains in scates, and the hills in a balance; Him who, sitting upon the orbit of earth, stretches out the heavens as a curtain, aud eprcadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. f'fhe Hebrew. On a Leg of Mutton. When is leg of mutton like a modern poet? When it'a Browning. Why is a leg of mutton being roasted like London in ltJtjj? Because it'a before the fire. When is a leg of mutton like venison? When it's dear. When is a leg of mutton like an intoxicated person? When it's cm.

A Young Lady's 8oliloqny. tTieleStly, aimlessly drifting throagh life, What was I bora for? "For Somebody' wife," I am told hy tuy mather.

For though I'm net ngly pray wbat woman isT You might easily find a more fceaatifal phis; And then, as for temper and manners, 'tit plain He who seeks for perfection will seek ataa in vain. Nay, in ipite ef these drawbacks, my heart is perTerse, And should net feel grateful, 'for better or worse,' To take the first Booby tbat graciously came And offered those treasures, hit heme and bit name I think, then, my ehancet of marriage are small, And why should I think ol sueh cbaneea at all? My brothers are all ot them younger than I, Yet they thrive in the world; wy net let a try? I know that in business I'm not an adept. Because from such matters most ttrietlj I'm kept, But -this is the question that putzlet my mind Why am I not trained up to work of some kind? Uselessly, aimlessly drifting through life; Wut should I wait to be "Somebody's wife?" The Fifteenth Amendment. One of the poets of the newly-enfraaehised race thus speaks in the Boston Daily Advertiser. Beneath the burdens of our joy Tremble, O wires, from East to Westl Fashion with words your tongues of fire To tell tbe nation's behest; Outstrip tta winds, and leave behind The murmur of tbe restless waves; Nor tarry with your glorious newt Amid the oceau's coral caves. Shake off the dust, O rising race, Crowned as a brother and a man; Justice to-day asserts ber claim, And from thy brow fade out the ban; With Freedom's chrism on thy head, Her precious ensign in thy band, G place thy once despised name Amid the noblest of the land. O ransomed rare, give God the praise, Who led thee through a crimson tea; And, 'mid the storm ol fire and blood, Turned out the war cloud'a light on thee. Francis E. W. Uarpkr. The Man Who Will Live Long. He has a proper and well-proportioned stature, without however, being loo tall. He is rather of the middle size, and some what thick set. His complexion is not too ilorid, at any rate; too much ruddiness in youth is seldom a sign of longevity. His hatr approaches to the fair rather than to black, llh skin is strong, but not rough. His head is not too big, he has large veins in the extremcties; his shoulders are round rather than flat, his neck is not too long; and his legs are firm and round. He has a broad, arched chest, a strong voice, aud the faculty of retaining his breath lor a long time without difficulty. There is harmony In all his parts. His senses are good, but not too delicate, his pulse is slow and regular. His stomach is excellent; his appetite is good, and digestion easy. The joys of the table are to him of importance, they tune his mind to serenity, and his soul partakes in the pleasure which they communicate. He does not eat merely f or the Bake of eating, but each meal is an hour of daily festivity. He eats slowly, and has not too much thirst, the latter being always a sign of rapid self-consumption. He is serene, loquacious, active, sus ceptible of joy, love and hope, but insensible to the impression of hatred, anger, avarice. His passions never become vio lent or destructive. If ever he gives way to anger, he experiences rather a useful glow of warmth, an artificial and gentle fever, without an overflowing of the bile. He is fond also of employment, particularly calm meditation and agreeable speculations. He is an optimist, a friend of nature and demestic felicity. He has no thirst after honor or riches, and banishes all thoughts of to-morrow. Hufeland, the Thyeiologist. !- An Indiana Farmer's Method of Raising Corn. IMow your ground four to eight inches deep according to the soil. Mark your ground otl one way, that is, if your land is mellow; if not, and it has been beaten by rain after plowing, it is better to fur row out the first time with a shovel plow., When ready to plant, furrow out with a shovel or diamond plow; drop l'ro.n three to five grains in a hill. If your ground is cloddy, it is a good idea to take a log three or four feet loug and sis or eight inches in diameter, slope the small end, aud hitch a horse to it, and put a small boy on him, aud let hint follow after the plow, dragging the log in the furrow. Drop the corn, and cover with a jumper, as we call it. When the corn gets up about two inches put a roller on it, if it is dry; then follow with a two horse harrow with the front tooth out, and the two back ones also, if it is too wide. Plow with a double shovel plow the first time twice in a row; plow the next time with a single shovel the other way, bo that if your corn is crooked you can plow close to it without too much hard work. By this time the corn will be big enough to thin out. (Jo through it and pull out to three stalks. It never gets too dry to thin corn, but it does get too wet sometimes, i'low the third time with a diamond plow, throwing the dirt to the corn, and then split the middle out with a shovel plow. Follow these rules if the weath er is dry; but if not, and tbe weeds get a pretty goad start, it is best to plow the first time with a diamond plow and throw the dirt from the corn. I'low as close and deep as possible, then the other way with a siugle shovel. Try this way once, and if you don't raise corn, I dont think it will be your fault. L. 11. D. Vermillion Co., Ind. Philosophers say that closing tbe eyes makes the sense of hearing more acute. A wag suggests that this will account for the many eyes that are closed in our churches on (Sundays. A Boston undertaker, with more wit than reverence, advertises bis bearse for sale as an "excellent tfteteton wajjon."

Changes in th Planet Jupiter. Astronomers have had peculiar opportunities for observing the planet Jupiter during this year, and especially, for the last two months. Prof. John Browning calls attention to some curioua changes of color, in parts of its surface: 'The belts on the planet he remarks, "re more than usually numerous, and they display a greater variety of colors than 1 have ever yet seen ascribed to them. The equatorial belt which has been for years the brigbest part of tbe planet, is now not nearly so bright; usually it has been free from markings; now it is covered with markings which resemble piled up cumulus clouds. It has generally bsen colorless, shining with a silver gray or pearly lustre; now it is of a rieh, deep yellow, greatly resembling the color of electrotyped gold." Professor Browning thinks these changes may be the result of chaoges in the planet itself, and invites the attention of stereoseopio observers to them. As it is generally believed that Jupiter shines partly by his owo light, not merely by reflecting the light of the sun, the subject has a peculiar interest in connection with the researches now going on into the constitution of those stars and planets. How a Good Templar Is Made. The victim for initiation is first blind folded, bound hand and foot and then thrown into a cider press and squexed for five or ten minutes. This is dona for the purpose of clearing his system of all "old drinks." He is then taken out of the cider press, and by means of a force pump, gorged with cistern water, after which a sealing plaster is put over his mouth and he is rolled in a barrel four or five times across the room, the choir at the same time singing the cold water song, lie is then taken out of the barrel and hung up by the heels until the water runs out through his ears; then he it cut down, and a beautiful lady hands him a glass of ice water. A cold bath is then furnished him, after which he is showered with cistern water. He is then made to read aloud the article of incorporation and by-laws of the water company, ten times, drinking a glass of cistern water between each reading; after which The Old Oaken BunkeV is sung and hung around his neck, while fifteen sisters with squirt guns deluge him with cistern water, tie is then forced to eat two pounds of ice cream, while the brothers fill his ears full of powdered ice. Then he is run through a patent clothes wringer, after, which he is handed a glass of water and his boots ate filled with the same, and he is laid away in a refrigerator. After remaining in the refrigerator half an hour he is taken out, put through a clothes wringer, takes the whole lodge down stairs, treats and becomes a Good Templar. Late Hours. Henry Ward Beecher preached recently on ''Late Hours and the Unfruitful Wotks of Darkness." "If you want to make the ruin of a child sure give him liberty after dark. You cannot do anything nearer to insure his damnation than to let him have liberty to go where be will without restraint. After dark he. will be sure to get into communication with people that will undermine all his good qualities. I do not like to speak to parents about their child ren. Their child canaot, will not lie, when his tongue is like bended bow; he will not drink, when there is not a saloon within a mile of his father's house where he is not as well known as one of its own decanters; he never does iniquitous things when he is reeking in filth. Nineteen out of every twenty allowed perfect freedom at night will be wounded by it. There is nothing more important than for a child to be at home at night, or if he is abroad, you should be with him. If be is to see any sigh's or take sny pleasure, there is nothing that he should see that you should not see with him. It is not merely that the child should be broken down, but there are thoughts that never ought to find a passage into a man's brain. As an eel, if he wriggle across your carpet, will leave his slime which no brushing can ever efface, so there are thoughts that never can be got rid of, once permitted to enter; and there are individuals going round with obscene books and pictures under the lappels of their coats that will leave ideas in the mind of your child tbat will never be ctTaccd. There are are men here who have heard a salacious song, and they never will forget it. They will regret having heard it to the end of their lives. I do not believe in a child's seeing life, as it is called, with its damnable lust and wickedness, to have all his imagina tion set on fire with tbe flames of hell. Nobody goes through this fire but the are burned, burned; and they can't get rid of the scars. The Upas-Tree. A csreful investigation has revealed the fact that the Upas tree is perfectly harm less, and tbat tbe destructive power is due alone to the fumes of sulphate and car bonic acid gas coming from volcanic open ings in the region. There is a famous, Valley of Poison" at the foot of the volcano Papandaging, in Java, where scien tific travelers have lound a great number of dead animals of various kinds, as dogs, cats, tigers, rhinoceroses, squirrels, birds and snakes. Tbe soft parts of the animals, as tbe skin, and muscles, and hair, and feathers, are preserved, while tht bones crumble and disappear. No living thing is found in the vicinity save tbe Upas-tree and it is not surprising tbat superstitions of its malarious power should have been wide-spread. The true cause of death in this ease is very obvious, as there are many crevices and openings in the side of the mountains, from which carbonic acid gas and sulphurous fumes are emitted in great quantities. It was by such emissions that tbe elder Pliny and his companions were suffocated, at the time of tbe destruction of Uerculaneum,

though they were miles away from Vesu vius. Mr. Graham's Peroration. The following is the close vf Mr. Graham's speech in tbe defense of MeFarland, which tbe telsgraph stated compelled cheers from his auditor: The position you undertake, gentlemen of the juryt is broad one. Little did you tbink, when this event Brat happened, that you would be called upoa to assume the responsibilities of such an occasion. Meet them like husbandi, fathers, men. The highest interests of society are involved in this proceeding. Beware how you announce that the desecration of the marriage relation creates no other emotion in a manly bosom than that of mere manly passion or revenger By ell the considerations which hallow ' it in your eyes, do not thus lightly esteem it, A home ia ruins! How distressing the desolation All sublunary happiness is short-lived at best. That of the family circle is net exempt. One by ooe its members may be summoned to the spheres to take part ia other ones to put on other relations. Death may enter its portals, and receive from its number its victims. In all this there is pain; but grief is endurable in any form but that of dishonor. Domut arnica pro domut optima. Home is home, though ever so lowly. The best home for us is that which receives us with the warmest heart, and welcomes us with the most cordial hand. Inter pateinut paricte$, within tbe walls of tLe family mansion, how happy, now joyous those words! At their mention does not tbe memory revert voluntarily to the abode of our early days, where, gathered around the family fireside, in which a correspondence of love aod affection, father, mother, brothers and sisters constituted a little community in themselves. Who, if we could, would not be a child again? To you are committed these sacred interests, upon you are riveted the eye of an anxious public. You are to reflect in your action the value you place upon your own hearths and the affection with which you guard your own firesides. When you return to them from this place, remember to bear the gladdenning news that they can not be desecrated with impunity by the trail of the adulterer. Let those helpless innoeents who lean upon you feel that they are still safe, that they still enjoy security. The purity of woman is not to be questioned; ber virtue is a tower of strength. It has proved itself able to withstand tbe strongest and most persistent assaults, still are we not taught daily to pray lest we may not be led in a tempter's path. In her appointed aud exclusive department may she ever illustrate ber Scriptural portraiture, and may it be the highest ambitition of every wife and mother to have it said of her tbat "she perceiveth her merchandise is good; ber candle goeth not out by night; that she openeth her mouth with wisdom, and her tongue is the sound of kindness, that she looketb well to the ways of the household aud eateth not the bread of idleness; that her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also, aud ber husband praiseth her, and her husband is known in the gates when be sittelh among the elders in the land." Let those who dare dishonor the husband and the father; who wickedly presume to sap the foundations of his happiness, be admodished in good season of the perilousness of the work in which they are engaged. As a result of your deliberation may they realize and acknowledge the never-failing justice of the divine edict, that jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not, can not, must not spare tbe day of his vengeance. A Desirsble Trio. Some sensible person has given publicity to the following waif, which is certainly beautiful: Three things to Jove Courage, gentleness aod affection. Three things to admire Intellectual power, dignity and gracefuluess. Three things tohate Cruelty, arrogance and ingratitude. Three things to delight in Beauty, frankness and freedom. Three things to wish for Health, friends and a cheerful spirit. Three things to avoid Idleness, loquacity and flippant jesting. Three things to pay for Faith, peaco and purity of heart. Three things to contend for Iloncr, country and friends. Three things to govern Tomper, toogue and conduct. Three things to think about Life, death and eternity. How to Know a Goose. Mother, mother!" cried a young rook returning hurriedly from its firt flight, "I'm so frightened! l'v seen such a sight!" "What sight, my son?" asked the rook. "Oh, whi'e creatures, screaming and running, and straining their necks, and holding their heads ever so high! See, mother, there they go!"' I "Oeese, my son, merely geese." calmly replied tbe parent bird, looking over tbe -nntntnn t'TKrniUlll lif child. oV)rVe ' that when yon meet any one who makes a great fuss about himself, and tries to lift bis bead higher than the rest of tbe world you may set bitn down at once for a goose!" Shoeing Horses. Among the reports of the Paris Kxhibilion is a chapter on a new system of shoeing horses. Its inventor, M.Charlier, contends that tbe shoe destroys tbe horse a foot, aod substitutes for it an iron band, let into a rectangular groove scooped into tbe ontcr circle of the horse's foot. 'This band is fastened with seven relangnlar nails driven into oval bolea. The sole of tbe foot and frog are thus allowed tu touch tbe ground. The horse never edps, and never gets diseases of the foot. The new shoe has been tried by M- Langet, a large job-master in Paris, and has reduced lameness by two-tbtids. Tbe omuibus

The Country Editor's Wrk. Many people tbink it ia an easy task to edit a country newspaper. It is, in their estimation, coly cuttiug out of the Erst paper which comes to hind the necessary quantity of matter to fill the columns, or a little scribbling acknowledging the gift of half a dosen mammoth potatoes or a specimen ear of corn. Sueh people know very little of the absolute drudgery of couotry publisher who gives ' the labor and time to his paper which it demands, or tbw multiplicity of calls upon him. Many publishers fall lamentably short in their work, and many country journals are not brilliant specimens of intellectual work or welt applied industry. Yet tbn poorest of them bsve some merit, nod it is scarcely possible to make one, where it is free from immortality or scurrility worth less thin its subscription price. Tbe following contrast between a city and country paper is well drawn by the editor of the Berkshire. Massachusetts. Courier, in an address delivered before convention of Massachusetts editors and publishers: "To make a successful weekly is far more difficult to manage than a daily journal: and the editor of a country weekly baa far more responsibility and a larger duty than any attached to a city paper. This may seem strange at first thought; but assertion is warranted by the facts. The city editor not only shirks all personal responsibility to the public, by having his individuality lost in the paper, but he has some single department assigned him, to which be can devote bis undivided care, while the country editor, by having bis personality known and read by all such men, must uot only shoulder the responsibility of all he writes, but of all be publishes, aud this, too, amid a thousand perplexities and discouragements, of which the public have little conception, and award no indulgence. He must read all his exchanges, write all his articles upoa any aod every topic, read proof, oversee and frequently work in his office, keep books, collect bis dues and pay his debts, talk to all who call; expected to be at the editorial table, every exhibition, auction, fight, fire or show, and gets censured if remiss io any of the multifarious duties which the reading public thus place upoa him. And in the daily journal there is always room. Items, rumors and reports, drawn speculations and sensations of the day, find each their places, and like tbe hot rolls from the baker's shop, each day brings a new batch. But to make up a country paper requires constant care to winnow the wheat from the chaff of the weekly harvests, to cull that which is worth preserving, and to select that whicb is really new snd reliable these are are tasks which require some genius and talent, and more than all, the ability which comes from patient and laborious t aining." Eating Without Appetite. It is wrong to eat without an appetite; for it shows there is no gastric juice in tbe stomach, and that nature does not need food, and not needing it, thero being no fluid to receive and act up. in it, it would remain there only to putrefy, the very thought of which should be sufficient to deter any man fromeiting without an appetite for the remainder of his life. If a "tonic" is takeo to whet the appetite, it is a mistaken course, for its only result is to cause one to eat more, when already an amount has been e.tten beyond wbat the gastric juices supplied is able to prepare. The object to be obtained is a largersupply of gastric juice, not a larger sup-, ply of food, and whatever fails to accomplish that essential object, fails to have. -any ifhciei cy towards the cure of dyspep-, tic diseases; and as the formation of gastric juice is directly proportioned to the, wear and waste of tbe system, which ia to, be the means of supplying, and this wear and waste can only take place as the re. suit of exercise, the point is reached, again that the efficient remedy for dye-, pepsia is work out door work beneficial and successful in direct proportion n it ia areeble, interesting and profitable.Hall's Health by Good Livinu'. John Wesley in the Spirit Land. Tho New Haven Palladium ssys that last Sabbath, at Loom is Hall, tbe late Rev. John Wesley preached through the medium of a lady. The writer says: "Mr. Wesley, who was a graduate of Oxford, and not undistinguished for scholar-ship and eloquence, has, we regret to say, sadly deteriorated during his residence in the Spirit Land. Last evening he was slightly incoherent and decidedly ungrammatical. He also prononaced the Koglish language in very unpleasant fashion. We fear he has been keeping bad company, aud has consequently acquired the phraseology of tbe pot-bouse. We are sorry for him, for a man who did such no ble service when living is certainly entitled to better treatment after death. If Mr. Wesley has become what be appeared last evening through the month of his female medium, what arte the rest of us poor sinners to expect who Lave not labored as be did" A Negro's Prayer. Oh!
