Fever aud Ague is a terrible disease. Of "all
the ills that flesh is heir to-" it is the faintest
in its first manifestations the most unrelent-
ing in its progress, and the most defiant of
medical skill. Fever and Ague is more dc
s~tructiye of life than consumption, because ii
is more easily induced, and therefore more
prevalent. 1t marks its victims for the grave.
like an executioner's bond. Day by day, the
sufferer grows weaker and weaker, and each
hour does he fear a strong Consciousness of APP
preaching the tomb. We have said that the
disease is one of those which has nearly always
deiied medical science-a few cases once and
awhile having been cured and reported. We
are happy to announce that DIR. j. Hostetter.
of Pittsburgh, has prepared u compound that
has never been known to fail in curing the
worst cases of this terrible disease. We re-
commend DIR. J. Hostetter's Celebrated Bit
tiers to suffering humanity generally, us Il sure
and speedy specific.

NATURAL CrR.oSIrY.-We were shown
the other day a bird of the plovcr
species, full grown, which had neither
feet nor legs nor the least sign of ever
having had any. N~aturaIists tell us
Of quadrupcds and bipeds, but what
will they call this animal without any
feet at all? Surely not a reptile, for it
had wings and could fly. We coniec-
ture that it must be a bird of para
disc" which having landed upon this
mundane sphere and searched it all
over for a habitation, finally located
in Boone county, finding this approach,
ing the nearest to a perfect paradise
of any place it could iind.-Boone Co.

OBJ Smrllietmu,
Legislative Ways.

The Legislature of Michigan have
q bill before them which is worthy OF
the consideration of like bodies gener-
ally, entitled "A bill donating GAO
acres Of land to Mrs. Rogers, wife Of
Henry d. Rogers. The bill is likely
to pass, a committee having reported
favorably upon it for the following
reasons:
Whereas, the said Mrs. Rogers did,
on the first day Of January, 1859, give
birth to four living children, three
daughters and one son and whereas
the mother and rcputcd father Of said
children are poor aud are unable to
support and educate them and where
as His Exccllency the Governor of the
State of Michigan, has recommended
the encouragement Of emigration"
and the appointment of an cmigrant
agent" declaring that the state needs
people more than lands and as the
great objects Of the administration
can be accomplished, and the ncccssi-
ty Of an cmigrant agent avoided by
encouraging the above named individ-
uals and the people generally in u
State, we recommend that the bill do
pass.

Nature meant winter on purpose for court
ing. A little tidy scrumptious looking
sleigh, a real clipper of a morse, a string
of bells looking like onions around his body.
and a sprig Of bells on his back, looking fer
all the world like Il cluster Of apples broken
off at a gathering time, and a sweetheart
alongside, all muflIcd up but her eyes and lips
the one looking night into you, and the 9TH
er talking right al you, is almost enough to
drive one raving distracted with pleasure.
And then the dear creatures say the bells
make such a noise there is 10 hearing ones
self speak SO they put their pretty little
mugs close up to your face and talk, talk, till
one can't help looking right at them instead Of
the horse, and then whap you both go capSi&-
ed into a snowdrift, buffalo robes, cushions
and all. And then TO sec the little creature
shake herself when She gets up, like a duck
landing from a pond, chattcring all the time
like a Canary bird, and you a haw-hawing, is
fun alive, you may believe.

"DoN'T SPEAK Cross. -" Don't speak so
cross " said one little boy, in the street, to
another. Don't speak so cross there's
no use in it," We happened to be passing
at the time, and hearing TIE injunction, or
rather exhortation-for it was made in an ex-
ortatory manner we set the juvenile speaker
down as an embryo philosopher. In sooth,
the point involved III the boyish difficulty
which made occasion for the remark, he might
probably be considered at maturity. What
more could Solomon have said on the occa-
sion! True, he has put it on record, that a
'soft answer turncnh away wrath )" and this
being taken as true-and everybody knows it
to be so--it is evidence in favor of the SUI
periority of the law of kindness over that of
wrath. But our young street philosopher
said pretty much the same thing substantially,
when he said, Don't speak so cross there's
no use Of it," On the contrary, it invaria-
bly, does mu h harm. Is man angry? 1t
inaames his ire still more, and confirms him
who, bya kind word and pleasing demeanor,
might be converted into friend. 1t is, in
fact, an addition of fuel to the fame already
kndlcd. And what do you gain by it?-
Nothing desirable, certainly unless disc. der,
strife, contention, hatred, malice and all un-
charitableness be desirable. The boy, spal e
the words of truth and soberness," when he
said, Don't speak SO cross; there's no use
in it."-Repmblican Farmer.

As If all hope had flown.
As Death drew near, I felt the chill,

But Jesus came and stood by me,
And whispered Death not now".
From that cold stream then went up
With slow, bat steady pace,
For Jesus led me by the hand
And gave me strength and grace.
When had gained sweet health once more,
And all the strength of youth,

That he might blessed be.

But seek not wealth or fame"

THE DAILY LIFE OF MILTON. = 10 his mode
of living Milton, rs might be anticipated,
was moderate and temperate At his meals
he never took much of wine or any other fer
mented liquor, and he was not fastidious in
his food; yet his taste seems to have been
delicate and refined, like his other senses,
and he had preference for such vands as
were of an agreeable favor. In his early
years he used to sit up late at his studies /;
and perhaps he continued this practice while
his sight was good; but in his latter years,
he retired every night at nine o'clock, and
lay till four in summer, till five in winter;
and, if not disposed then to rise, he had some
one 10 sit at his bedside and read to him.
When he rose, he had chapter of the He
brew Bible read for him and then, with, of
course, the intervention of breakfast, studied
till twelve He then dined, took some exer-
else for an generally in chair,
in which he used to swing himself
and afterwards played on the organ, or the
bass. viol, and either sang himself or made
his wife sing, who had a good voice but no
ear. He then resumed his studies till six,
from which hour till eight he conversed with
those who came to visit him. He finally
took light supper, smoked pipe of tobac-
co, and drank a glass of water, after which
he retired to rest.-Knsghtly's Milton.
