Winter Wisdom.

Warm clothing alone will not protect the body
against the consequences Of the sudden depression
of temperature which is concomiant of early winter
Flannel next the skin preserves the animal heat but
it does not impart animal vigor. That property is
the special prerogative of Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters which is therefore q specific protection against
a majority of the complaints which most COM
mon at this season. For example, course of the
great vegetable invigorant commenced now, viii be
almost to preclude chills and fever bilious coc
disorders of the stomach, constipation, and many
other complaints which often the direct or indi
rect effect of atmosphere surcharged with cold,
unwholesome vapor. Moreover, the system toned
and regulated by this means is much more likely to
resist pulmonary disease than it would otherwise be-
for the influence of searching medicine pervades all
the organs, and every fiber and tissue of the frame
Persons whose vital powers are weak, especially in
valid ladies and the aged, earnestly recommend
cd not to face the winters rigor without having
recourse to this safe and sufficient means of re-
enforcing enfeebled nature. Much suffering may be
escaped, much danger ayerted by following this
counsel. Better late than never. is good proverb
but it is better to be early than late.

have tried a simpler way of attaining the
same object on cold nights, when / have
not had sufficient bedding over me, es-
pecially at hotels, where we cannot al

one or two of the top covers from the bed,
then pull from the pocket or satchel, two

by the great fire, but new rooms, new furni-

vided, and the Institution is now in better
condition than ever. 1t is no more expensive

the extra Lieutenants authorized to serve
as regimental Quartermasters be discon-

Sergeant be abolished; also those of COM

gives the following means of starting
balky horse: Take couple of turns of
common wrapping twine, such as grocers
use, around the foreleg, just below the
knee, tight enough for the horse to feel,
and tie in q bow knot. At the first cluck
he will generally go dancing off, and after
going a short distance you can get out, re-
move the string, to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive. The philos-
