WIT AND WISDOM.

On tombstone in a cburch-yard in Ulster
is the following epitaph: Erected to the mem.

Mr.. Billings is of the opinior that "there is
lots ov people in this world who covet misfor.
tunes, just for the luxury of grunting," vide
those who pay others twice as much as Cogia
Hassan charges for goods.
Why are corn and potatoes like the idols OF
old? Because the former have ears and hear
not, and the latter have eyes and see not.
All the corn has heard of Cogia Hassan, and
all the potatoes have seen him.
The human race is divided into two classes
those who go ahead and do something. and
those who sit still and inquire, ,.Why wasn't il
it done the other way?"
OF the LIST class is Cogia Hassan; of the last

malarious Fogs.

Countless millions of cubic feet omalarlous vapor
reek from the moist earth every twenty-four hours
during the month Of November. This evaporated
moisture is the active principle which begets fever
and ague bilious remtents, Indigestion dysentery,
bilious choic, rheumatism, and many other ailments
which prevail more generally in the Fall than at
other seasons, and some OF which, in low, swampy
regions and new clearngs, take the form OF vrulent
epidemics. The best safeguard against these
complaints, as evidenced by the experience Of a
long series OF years, is HOSTETTEh'S STOMACH
BIrTERS, the most pleasant and at the same time
the most efficient OF all vegetable tonics. The
inauguration OF the system is manifestly the best
means Of defending it against the cause of Sickness
whether constitutional or casual. Nature as every
patholoest knows is the most determined enemy
OF disease, and the paroxsysms OF an acute malady
are in the most instances the consequences of the
efforts she makes to conquer the foe. The great
object, therefore, of preventive treatment is to
reinforce the system, and it is accom- plished
thoroughly, rapidly and safely, by the use of
HOSTETrER'S BITTERS. This powerful tonic
contains also an APPARENT and corrective principle
IT is no less valuable regulator and purifier than
as an invigorant and there is no danger of exciting
the brain or ovei stimulating the circulation by
employing it as an antidote. nov15eod&w1wsn

THERE seems to be considerable feeling ex-
hibited in Washington in regard to Minister
Sickles and his method ofoonducting affairs at
Madrid. Certain correspondents assert that
a number of Senators and members of Con.
sress do not hesitate to say openly that he is
unfit for his place, and strength is being
gathered for his immediate recall by the Pres
ident. On the other hand, Gen. Sickles'
friends insist that the responsibility of the of
fensive demands upon the Spanish govern
ment belongs to Secretary Fish, who peremp
torily ordered the step against the remon-
strances of the Minister; and nice little po-
litical quarrel is likely to be the result.

animal produces, grows principally on
the back and hips, and is intermlxea
