Change of Clothing-A Caution.

Don't be in haste to put off WOODEN garments
in Spring Many a " bad cold, ," (whoeyer saw
good one,) rheumatism, lumbago, and other
aches and pains, are lurking in the first sun
shiny days, ready to pounce upon the incau-
tious victims who have laid aside their deien-
sivc armor of flannel. All sudden changes in
the system are attended with more or less OF
danger, but the body can accommodate itself to
almost any condition, provided it be assumed
gradually. The use Of flannel guards against
sudden change of temperature. In warm
day when perspration flows freely, if it be
allowed to pass off rapidly, the quick cvapora-
ton carries with i, much heat from the body,
and chill may be produced, followed by de-
rangemont Of some function as cold in the
head, or unnatural discharge from the bowels
Flannel contains much air in its moshes, and is
therefore a slow conductor of cold or heat -
Evaporation proceeds from it more slowly than
from cotton or linen hence its excellence as a
fabric for clothing. Many persons wear it next

against prevalent complaints in Summer. No
general rule can be given as to this; it must
depend upon the constitution, and employment
OF the individual. In all cases, however, Han
mel should not be laid aside unit! the weather
is settled permanently warm-in this latitude
usually after the first of June. The change
should be made in the morning never in the
after part of the day. when the energies are
partly abated, and the air is usually growing
cooler Many consumption has been con-
traotel, by undressing for an evening party.

A Prospective State

The yield Of the Pixies Peak gold region, for
the year 1860, is said to be five million doll
lars-lttle compared with and Australia,
and California, buta rich yield for so new a
country. A. D. Richardson, Esq in his lee
turc entitled " Pixies Peak " thus sums up the
impressions left by a visit to that region
At home once more, you dnd time for rel.c
ton. You have seeu that there il individual
Appointment tnat digg'ng gold IS the. nara.
est Of all manual labor, and that at Pixies
Peak, as in California and Australia, net more
than one man in ten can be called successful.
But you have also learned, that this embryo
State, larger than all New England, embracing
portions Of Kansas, Nebraska, tab, New Mex
leo and Oregon, is developing with marvellous
rapidity that though less than two years old
when the census was completed, in July, it cor
tanned more than sixty thousand people, and is
already pournga steady golden current into
the tr asury Of the world.
Others may call this practical and rrosaic
age but you feel that the dreams Of old Ro-
nance grow tame before these grand cnchant
ments, born in the restless American brain, anc
wrought out by the treless American arm
You are profoundly impressed with that won
dcrful energy which in two years has carried
Commerce and Civilization across the grea
desert, and founded new Empire at the bas
of the Rocky Mountains. And nthcse trouble
some times, when old lights of the American
constellation grow dim, you are happy at tn
and thrice happy that it shines IN all the be@ut
and radiance of freedom.

Coal,

There are in the United States four coal fields
of enormous dimensions, and in no part of the
world are the beds Of coal of greater thickness,
more convenient for working, or of more vau-
able quality. The Appalachian coal fields com
mence in Pennsylvania and OHIO, extending
through Western Virginia and Eestcrn Kan
lucky and tennessee into Alabama comprising
an area of about &C, 900 square miles. Anoth
Ell field occupies the greater portion of Indiana
and Illinois, of II nearly equal extent A third
covers tho greater portion of Missouri, and a
fourth the greater portion Of Michigan. In
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia there is ano,h-
er field occupying an area of $4,000 square
miles. The quantity of Pennsylvania anthra-
cite coal sent to market in 1860 was $3.50 053
toos, or more than double the quantity reported
ten years ago In 1920, when its export COM
menced, there were 3l5 tons sent; in 1910,
S65, 3l4 tons; in 1850, 1922 Goa tons max
ing the total sent to market from 1920 to 1860,
96,T6,973 tons, producing to Pennsylvania
about thirty millions Of dollars annually All
Europe, including England, which yields forty
million tons annually, has less coal surface than
Illionis alone.

Young mon, don live crutsy bachelor it

can make it convenient, and can shape your af-

don't fall in love with face instead OF wo-
man. Remember that common sense ls q rare
virtue, much better then silver, gold or fashion.
Don't court and marry crinolnc or money bags,
simply because 1t il crnolne or gold in plenty ;
but look to sound practical sense in a woman

qualities by.
When you have that all else comes Your
wife that is to be, if she's full of common sense,
will grow to your way of thinking, and make
you grow to hers. A woman who has woman

your love towards her grow as the years 90 over

The Colley, or Shepherd s Dog,

A gentleman sold considerable flock Of sheep
to dealer, which the latter had not hands to
drive. The seller, however, told him he had
very intelligent dog, which he would send to
assist him to place about thirty miles off; and
that when he reached the end of his journey
he had only to feed the dog and desire him to
go home. The dog accordingly received his or
ders, and set off with the flock and the droyer,
but he was absent for so many days that his
master began to have serious alarms about him,
when one morning, to his great surprise, he
found the dog returned with a very large flock
of sheep, including the whole tnat he had lately
sold The fact turned out to be, that the droyer
was so pleased with the colley that he resolved
to steal him, and locked him up until the time
when he was to leave the country. The dog
grew sulky, and made various attempts to es.
cape, and one evening ne fortunately succeeded
Whether the brute had discovered the droyer 5
intention, and supposed the sheep were also
stolen, it is difficult to say but by his conduct
it looked SO, for he Immediately went to the field
collected the sheep, and drove them all back to
his master

After watching till late hour and bruin not
reappearing, Joel concluded to take a nan
trusting to the noise the brute might make to
waken him. Past midnight his sleep was dis
turbed by ominous sounds, and looking up he
espied a huge grizzly coming down a trail close
by him Before the intrepid joel could get up
bis rifle, the ugly brute was within ten feet. A
faint moon was giving light, and it was evident
that bruin smelt something, as he stuck up his
head to stuff the tainted air. % Wcstlail

paper relates that while party Of gentlemen
were skating on the river recently, one Of them,
who was IN advance of his companions cspied
a large wolf crossing the river a few rods ahead
Of him and Immediately gave chase. Finding
that bis persucr would cut him of before lie
could reach the shore, the frightened brute
turned and fed down the stream as fast as he
could, which was not very rapidly, owing to the
smoothness OF the ice. The skater bent all his
energies in pcrsuit of his game, and gained at
every stroke but when almost within reach of
the animal, he discovered half dozen yards
ahead an open stretch o! water several yards
wide, into which the wolf sprang, followed Of
course by the lncautous skater, who was I'M
able to check his momentum in season to avoid
the plunge. Finding himself d" in for it," ho
laid hold of the growing, swapping wolf, there.
by buoyng himself up until his companions
arrived, when he was pulled out, and the cause
