The Thief of Life.

= II /" Procrastination is the thief of time 1t is
but too often equally the thief of life.
In che United States alone nearly 200 900 per-
sons die annually of consumption, of whom at
the lowest estimate at least one in every ive or at
they but given themselves timely attention. Dr..
c. NJ Fitch, in recent lecture spoke of the insid-
ious character of consumption, of its gradual but
almost imperceptible approach, as one of the lead
ing causes Of its fearful fatality. If consumption.
is durable it must be In its caller stages and any
one who knows himself to be inclined to- or Affect
ed with any of the symptoms of that disease, and
yet still neglects himself is guilty of little less
than suicide. stiss r., av ~ttan
The age of miracles has gone by, the dead are
no longer raised, and IL is as utterly impossible
for any physician, whatever his experience OF
skill to cure patient whose lungs are reduced to
mass of crude or softening tubercle, as it is to
raise the dead. Strongly as DIR. Fitch asserts the
durability of consumption, we are not aware that
even he considers it durable in other than its ear
lier stages and we know but too surely that those
who neglect themselves in this all-important m at.
ter will soon find that measures which once ould
have warded off, or have cured the disease will
now only palliate their suffering, or perhaps pro-
long their days. and they will have to say with
Shakspeare's noble sufferer:

The Crops. ,

From what we notice in our numerous cx-
changes, we believe that the crops, of all
kinds, in all parts Of the union, are unusual.
ly large this season. Wheat and corn, the
two great products of the land, on which
most people rely arc everywhere acknowl-
edged good. The potatoe, also considered a
necessary article Of food, is yielding large
crop, and prices will undoubtedly be low
We hear, from some localities, complaints Of
the rot, but it seems not to be general. In
this section, the dry weather which we have
lately had, may be considered as quite favo-
rable to the prospects Of the crop.
Fruit of all kinds is abundant; the crop
being much better than that of last year.
Owing to the lateness of the season, fruit has
not ripened as early this year as often here
tofore, but the crop will without doubt be
good For an abundance of good fruit peo-
pie should be thankful; it is a blessing that
many people do not appreciate. Americans,
as nation, use far too much animal food,
and in consequence, underestimate the value
of fruit and vegetables, which are much more
nutritious and healthy than flesh. We hope
the time will soon come when the custom of
meat-eating, as foolish as it is injurious, will
give way to reasonable philosophy, and
then shall man, instead of turning himself
into a savage specimen of the car1aavora, live
like human being.
The following items are from our exchan-
GEES: ia ..f. o-
The corn crop in Alabama promises to be of un-
precedented luXuriance.
The Louisiana papers say that the sugar crop
will be large; it everywhere looks we'll
1t is stated that over acres of the Chinese
sugar cane will be raised in the United States this
year. u.
We hear accounts that there is an extraordinary
fruit crop coming forward throughout the county.
The orchards are hangings full Of apples, and
they appear of large and thrifty growth. No pre-
vious year will bear comparison with the extra
ordinary yield of fruit-Ionia Gazette.
