Ledger says: The variablness of the atmos-

fertile source of colds and consequent illness.
The seeds Of many consumption are now be-
ing sown by vain young ladies, who, not hav-
ing their winter costume ready, persist in 60

to wear their last winters bonnet, cloak or
shawl. Many man is undermining his health
by dressing without regard to the change of
temperature. One of the greatest of philoso-

said he never dressed in the morning without
first ascertaining how it was out of doors. In
deed, when we consider the complexion ofthe
human frame and the delicacy of it tissues the
wonder is, not that SO many people catch cold,
but that so few do. To-day the thermometer
may be seventy and tomorrow fifty, yet not
one person in four arranges his or her attire
accordingly. Thus we trihe with health and
consequently with happiness, nay, with life it.

The duness OF the Stock market continues with
the naturally resulting weakness of prices. The at

infequent. Operators more disposed TO close up
