Wcll To-day, Sick Tomorrow

Such is .he experience Of thousauds. Few enjoy
conJbuous health, To What does this occasional in
valid attribute his uncertain condition? Not TO him
self, of course. He lays the blame on the climate
perhaps 1t is too hot, too cold or too damp,
too dry, or too variable. But does he take the prop
er course to fortiy his constitution and bodily org N
against the extremes and changes Of which he com
pains? No. lie says, perhaps, that only an iron
man conid bear such great heat, or such violent cold
or such sudden vicssitudes. Why then does he not
resort to the great Tonic and Preventive which, if it
viii not make him an iron man. will at least quadru-
pie the capacity of his system to repel all external
agencies that tend TO produce disease HOSTET-

Idaho.

The message of governor Lyon to the
Idaho legislature, contains some points Of
interest to eastern people. During the
past wear it seems over 81 100000 worth
of gold and silver has been produced in
that territory, and the yield is rapidly in
creasing. The following paragraphs from
the message reads like an extract from The
Arabian Nights"
" A birds eve view Of the accumulating
discoveries in our mineral resources, re-
veals that we have 10 less than 5000 gold
value as in their richness, and new dis
coyeries and new localities are made almost
daily. The width of these odes or leads
vary from three 10 thirty feet, and they
prospect from twenty dollars tg five hun
dred dollars per ton. Located USUALLY
where water power and timber are in album
dance, they offer the highest inducements
to capitalists, whose investments can rare
" fail Of being the most remuncrative
Among the other useful ores which have
been discovered within the last year, tin,
AOPINi iCdti, anu Oh III no iiidii
forms, are Of the first value; yet platina,
antimony, nickel, bismuth, iridium and
hodium, simple or compounded with 9th
cr minerals are found IN various localities.
But this is not all. Beds of the best OF
coal, both anthracite and bituminous, with
rock salt, sulphur and ypsum-better
known as the fertili4ins plaster of com

the diamond, has been discovered in our
gulches, M give you a feeling foretaste of
the llimilahle extent of Idaho's varied
mineral wealth, when the hand of man
shall have unbosomed her hidden treas
ures. The wide extent of our aurifcrous
placers, only small portion of which have
been well prospected, checkered as they
are by auriferous quartz lodes and leads,
are rivalled only by argentiferous noun

Lent.

On the 14th instant, the dies cizerWna, or
Ash Wednesday, which was the beginning
of Lent, occurred The Lenten season
lasts forty days, and Immediately precedes
Easter. The object of the fast has been
disputed, but it is generally regarded as
preparation for Easter, and time set apart
for repentance over the sins of the past
year !; while the number of forty days de-
voted to it is thought to have reference to
the Sayiour's forty days fast in the will
derness; to the forty days deluge; the
forty years wanderings of the Jews the
forty days granted to the Ninevites for re-
pentance, or the time spent in fasting by
Moses and Elias. Protestants commonly
hold that it was not established until the
second or third century. It is the forty
sixth day before Easter, the six Sundays
which intervene between it and that festi
val not being counted as part Of Lent nor
observed as fast days Chicago Rerub

W!Dows vs. MAFDENs.-A Richmond pa
per says chat young men are scarce in that
city, and maidens and widows in search Of
husbands very plenty. The latter seem
to bessmore successful, and the editor,
pleading in behalf Of the madens, says !:
we do not think, in view Of the great
scarcity Of men, that it is fair for widows
to marry the second time until all the
young maidens have secured husbands.
The Legislature ought to attend 10 this
matter, and protect the interests of young
ladies', for without the aid of legal enact
ments, the widows are sure 10 play the
grab game They will therefore have 10
be restrained by the strong arm of the law
as was done in the early colonial history Of
Virginia, when the House Of Burgesses
passed an act Of the very character indica
ted It was found that all the young men
imported into the colony were at once
caught by the widows by superior wies
and strategems, without aEy chance being
allowed to the modest and retiring young
m;lidens, so the Legislature took the mat
ter in hand, and will have 10 do so again."

Just think of prosaic Connecticut
originating, in our day, such romance
as the following: Norwalk is exercised
about body-snatchers, who, on Sunday
night last dug up the body of a young
lady who had been buried that afternoon,
and succeeded beyond their anticipation.
She had been buried while in cataleptic
fit, and upon being exposed to the night
air, animation was restored. The resu-
rectonists fed, and she walked home.
