C, DKCKM?EhO, JSOG, fill ALL WE HAVE SALOONS. The CopyTV Umox: Jt is entirely out of our line to write for publication, but if you will allow us space in your paper we would Jite to say a few words in regard to a very important. matter and it is none . pther than the the question of licensed tar-rooms in onr town. And while ore shall write with no mectal reserva tion whatever, yet we shall write with the ?ery best of feeling towards every body, and hope this letter will not bring about any other than a friendly feeling toward ns from any reader. And just here let ns ny we would not do any bar-beeper in onr town any harm whatever, for they are all men me love, and they have no better friend than ourselves, but wo do want .to stop the harm they aro doing others, and the great harm they do their own tBonls in "pattiog the bottle to their .neighbors mouth. . As this year goes out, the license of every bar-keeper in onr town ex pires, and if we have farther sale of . liquors here, the parties through .whose aid the licenses are obtained, will be responsible, and oh! who can real:z3 the awfalnesa of the respon sibility. Is is a greater responsibility than we would take on ourselves, but JBtill we fi.d people, who have "re nounced the Pevil an.d all his works," And professing to b3 Christians, aid ing and giving their influence to the Jicensing of saloons, and thereby help ing to throw up the breast-work be hind which Satan fights his sreatcst battles and wins bis most telling vio lories. It being impossible to get au election on the question of License or No License any time soon, our only hope lies in the manhood, moral cour age, and last, but by no means least, the christian spirit of our Town' Com missioners. That they have the matter in their .own bands, to ono doubts, and if the bar-rooms run on here after January Jhe first, they will be responsible; so wives, when jour poor hearts ache And your tears fa J J thioj: and fast on account of a drunken husband, and hungry children, and fathers and mothers, when you spend your sleep less nights in deep trouble on account pf a wayward boy, who is going to puin and destruction in a bar-room dowp town, don't lay your sorrow at he door of thp bar beeper who sells your loved ones drink, but lay 'it properly at the door of those who gavo he men license to Bend jour has bands and boys to a drunkard's grave pr perhaps to a murderer's gallows, and wreck the lives which would have ptherwise been heppy. We hope our Town Commis. ioners will consider the eigniug of recommendations for Jiecnaej toq great a responsibility for ' them to shoulder, and that they will all refuse and can we not hope with reason that.they will not, when wo re member .that they are all professing phristi?Q8,' save qne, and he a good moral man, and we have no doubt but even rnorality would 'rqleou.fi the signiag of recommendations for li censef jot" to iaention phristianity whatever, and when a man gets so he pan bo Christ-like and aid in licensing saloons, then we can alj bo truthful liars and honest thiep. a t:'h:i .

Now tbat tue political campaign of 'J)f is nnnbercd -, as a thing of the past, J again resume -the position as a writer for Tiib Usips, I wish to offer (Oioe advice to the young in re gard to bealtb, The pcesesbion of a found mind in a sound acdjnjuietrica.l - body waa esteemed by the ancieots to be the greatest blessing which man could cn )0j. This truth being proclaimed so leng ago renders it very strange that mankind have not been profited by it and endeavored by every means m their powers to secure a healthy bod; for the powers of mind, the evennct-s of the temper, the kindness of the disposition all depend upon the 6tate of our physical frames. Providence puts into our hands the means of preserving health and this gift. involves a solemn responsibility. Health will be counted among those talents lor the use of which we are to answer to our creator, and it is our duty to become acquainted-with those laws which regulate and govern it. This is properly termed physical education, and it should be so- in stilled into our minds as to render the subject perfectly famijiar to U3 all; for there is but little doubt thai we briDg most of cur diseases upon ourselves by imprudence and the want. of proper knowledge how to ward them off, and if pot the effect of our own negl.eot, they aro traceable to ignorapce or want of proper manage ment of our parents or the guardians of our youth. 1 Then be assured that nature will sooner or later call us to give an ac count for the violation of her laws. It is true, for a time we may escape, but the debt must be paid, and re member that the priiicipal and interest are both accummulating and must at last be paid. How many charge nature with that which has accummnlatcd through neglect of the economy of health; by atteLtion many evils might be obviat ed, life prolonged to a good old age, and a largn amount of pbyeical suffer ing diminished. J T;he youth of our country should be taught the vaVue of health and the means of preserving it, by the sub jugation of every immoderate desire, appetite and pa;sion, thus they may prolong life, and with proper precau tion, live almost uninterruptedly in a perfect state of health. A knowledge of the circumstances upon w hich health depends, is one of the most important parts of the moral nd intellectual education of vouth. The fountams of knowledge should be opened to the young on these sub jects, so that they may have in.storo useful information, be well cquiped for the voyago of life, prepared to ward off diseases and prepared if nec essary to strengthen a weakly consti tutlon. "We should be temperate in all things, be sure to give our bodies plenty of eseioisc, and have personal clesplincss in all things. Jt is there fore a matter of utmost importance in the education of youth to teach him how far the luxuries and habits of civilized life and .its dissipations, tend to shorten, or render us : miser able in order that he may correct his ways and avojd lots of suffering or early death. No nation can be powerful whose inhabitants are either mentally, mor ally, or physically, eufeebled. It is true that (he habits of the people of the United States have made but few inroads upon their bodily .develop ments, but still we have no evidence that this state of things will continue. Then we see it becomes an import ant matter that wo should study the laws which gojerp the animal, eco nomy. Without it we shall be grop ing our way in the dark, anxious no doubt, to'discover the right parsage,' but afiaid that we are departing from it. ' . - Vorj will perceive that I desire to point out to you the importance of strict attention to the peculiarities of the constitution , fori honestly be lieve that two thirds of the diseases to which the human family is subject, can be removed by simple remedies and proper, training, id other words, a correct course of exercise, diet, tem perance, and a change of climate be fore it is too late, htJL shall bow conclude my remarks with: these solemn admonitions that f nealtfrjind happiness can never exist iBfFaM,SUJHr; 13 noi na wnere rii-clyia Bat raapjistant Hsitor.

Solitary indeed is Ih at -couch where the emac iated. Strengthless form is stretched, unaccompanied by these dawnlngs-of eternal day. . No starlight brightens, no cherub wings arc hovering around the dying pillow. Jn vain are the arms of friendship extended orV the bossom of lpye opened; the rays of hope may gleam for a brief moment in the borison of the mind but ala..! they are cold and cheeriest no vivify ing itflnenco passes over the feverish Drak; no holy gust of ecstatic ' joy sublimates the mind, and in quick succession, the past, the present, and the future pass before the mind pre senting' at a glance the false colorings of the world, The trembling fcoul dreads the future, no uplifted arm makes strong the soul, nor points rith unerring truth the bright way to the mansions of eternal bliss. So that often- the cry is heard; "How hard it is to die! All is lost!'1 . Stub. TEE NEW MINT BUJLDING. . The plans lor the new United States Mint, to be built in Philadelphia, at Sixteenth and SpriDg Qarden Streets, -have been completed and approved, and advertisements for bids for the erectipn will be promptly issued, says the American- Manufacturer. The act authorising the building fixes the cost at 2,000,000. The site cost 32q,0U0. The plans purpose a building to cost 1,650,000-. It will occupy the entire tquare bounded by Spring Garden, Sixteenth, Button wood and Seventeenth Streets. The main front is on Spring Gardcn Street and the side' entrance ior workmen and wagons on Sixteenth. The building is arranged in the tquare with an in- form of a hollow terior courtyard.' The front of the building proper on Spring GardiQ Street is 310 feet, while the terrace which runs the entirp length of the Llot is 39(5 "feet. The building has frontages on Sixteenth and Seven teenth Streets cf 18Q ftet. Tfae rear of the building on liuitonwood Street comes directly on the street. The architecture is of the classip style, with eome ornamentation of cornice, etc. The interior arrangement is de signed in the n-cst careful manner to secure the best poisible practical operation of the mint Ex. WHY DO TEE: LOST WALK J N CIRCLES. The question is often asked. Why is it that a person, who is lost, wheth er it be in a dense wood or on a prairie, invariably moves in a circle, and always to the right? No satisfac tory answer has ever been given for this well-known peculiarity unrler the circumstances, mentioned. Some physiologists, the speculative philosophers claim that the left leg iz the human spce'ra is slightly longer than the right, and bo takes longer steps, thus causing a motion to tlie right which in-time completes a circle is tae mini sj bewilderel that it has so fixed objective point in view Pe haps the real answer to this queer question lies in the fact that most per sons use their right hands in prefer ence to the left, and are accustomed to-passing objects on their right-hand side, and so, unconsciously, keep edg ing off to the rjght. Qu a prairie, however, where there is nothing in the way of obstacles worthy of men tion, this cau?e or reason for walking in a "right-handed" circle would hardly bold good. Does any reader know, adds the Saint Louis Republic, whether it is a fact or not that" left-banded persons who are lost make the oircle ia an op posite direction to that made by a right-handed person ? -Scientific Americar.
