How inconsistent is human nature. Men
carry rcvOlvers to protect themselves against
r%ulians in woll-polished cities, whore tho pre-
caution is unnecessary, often neglect to iorti-
| fy their systems against disease in the most
unhealthy seasons. Thousands of dyspeptics
and other invalids are now languishing in
sick rooms, or fecbly and l~istlessly moving
through our streets, who owe their forlorn
condition solely to a want of common pru-
dence. Far more inimical than the rOughs
and rowdies. against whose possible attacks
the timid arm themselves, are the morbid elc-
ments that pcrvade the atmosphere at this
time Of the year, and yet although it is an un-
denied and undeniable fact that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters afford n mOre.perfect protec-
ton against these causes of disease, than any
weapon of offence can afford against lawlcss
violence, the reckless and incOnsiderato con-
tinue to brave the danger with u positive safe
guard within their reach.
Every day, however, the number of these
martyrs to their own want of forecast dimin-
iShes. Each succeeding season demonstrates
more clearly the inestimable value Of the
Bitters, both as an a%ntidOte for the causes of
The miasma which generates periodic disor-

cured by the perseyering use Of the great rem

never by the barrel, keg or gallon, as is rep
resented by some unprincipled dealers.

Perhaps no more forcible evidence from a

The POINTS OF THE CoMpAss.-An
interesting paper was recently read,
at the last meeting of the American
Oriental Society, on the relation Of
the Chinese and Monaghan langua-
ges, and valuable differences were
drawn from the fact that the classi-
tication of the points of the compass
was originally the same in Chinese,
Thibetan and Monaghan. In these
languages the south is always men
toned before the north, and in an
cient Chinese and Mongolian, the
west before the east. In Mongo-
liam the word south means Gin
'front.'" north means behind" west
means "to the right, "and east means
"to the left In Chinese, the charac-
terwhich stands fornorth,i is compos-
ed Of two men turned back to back,
and originally meant to turn the
back upon" In the Chinese compass
the index is placed on the south point
ofthe needle. In the ancient classics
instances have been found where the
word fright was used for west.
Among other nations the points Of
the compass are sometimes named
upon the same principle, but another
point than the south is usually as
sumed to be in front. Thus in He
brew the words before" "behind"
right" and cleft" are used, but the
last is in front. The Hawaiians front
toward the west, and call north the
fright" and south the cleft" The
consideration of the south as "be-
is exceedingly natural among
nations living in the North Temper
ate Zones, since observers of the mo-
tons Of the sun and principal plan
cts and stars must face the south in
order to view the important heaven
|y bodies and record their courses
through the signs ofthe Zodiac.

The month of October last was the
most remarkable one that has occur
I'd in the gold industry Of Australia
for several y ars.. In consequence Ct
dclmprovementsi in the working of
the Quartz mines at Sandhurst II
great Increase in the production of
miles in that region, and many new
discoveries of gold, a gradually in
creasing excitement to invest in
Sandhurst shares was caused, which
finally terminated in q speculative
mania. New discoveries Of the pre-
cious metal are constantly being
made in otner quarters, and it is now
claimed that nearly the whole colony
of Victoria is auriferous, and that
gold will be extracted from it for all
time to come. Some of the mines in
the Sandhurst district have been
worked from the surface to q depth
of over seven hundred feet, yet the
quartz extracted is as rich as ever,
and the deposit seems inexhaustible.
A case recently heard in the Sand
hurst Court of mines illustrates the
vicissitudes attending the pursuit of
wealth by mining. A working min
e named Norwood brought suit to
recovera share in u company-one
Twelfth in the Golden Fleece claim,
Garden Gully-which he claimed
had been transferred from him
through Misrepresentation. 1t ap-
peared that he had originally bought
the share for 90 los, with the under
standing that he was to pay certain
calls upon it to the amount of 80.
During the trial it came out that the
same share had previously been sold
for ten shilliDgs, and that q similar
share in the same company had been
soldfor oneshiling, which had been
expended in drinks for the parties to
the sale. The present value of these
shares is $4,000 each.

Medical Declaration Concerning AlcO'

The following curious document,
signed by three hundred Of the lead
ing physicians Of London, appeared
in the papers Of that city just before
Christmas:
"Asit is believed that the incon-
siderate prescription Of large quanti-
ties of alcoholic liquid by medical
men for their patients has given rise,
in many instances, to the formation
of Incorporate habits, the under
signed, while unable to abandon the
use of alcohol in the treatment in
certain cases of disease, are yet OF
opinion that no medical practitioner
should prescribe 1t without q sense Of
grave responsibility. They believe
that alcohol, in whatever form,
should be prescribed with as much
care as any powerful drug, and that
the directions for its use should be so
framed as not to be interpreted as a
sanction for excess, or necessarily
for the continuance of its use when

The doctor was a smdll man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as the
most irregular OF pine knots.
He looked as though he might be

Hints on Health.

Coarse bread is better for chill.
dren than fine. Children should
sleep in separate beds, and should
not wear night-caps. Children
under seven years of age should not
be confined over six or seven hours
in the house, and that time should
be broken by frequent recesses.
Children and young people must be
made to hold their heads up and
their shoulders back, while sitting,
standing, or walking. The best
beds for children are of hair and
cotton. From one to one pound
and q half of solid food is sufficient
for q person in the ordinary voca-
tons of business. Persons in sed.
entary employments should drop
one.thir of their food, and they
will escape indigestion. Young
persons should exercise at least two
hours a day in the open air. Young
ladies should be preventedfrom ban
daging the chest. We have known
the worst disease, terminating in
death. which began in this practice.
Reading aloud is conducive to
health. The more clothing we
wear, other things being equal, the
less food we need. Sleeping-rooms
should have a fireplace, or some
mode of ventilation besides the win
dows. Young people and others
can not study much by lamp-light
with impunity. The best remedy
for eyes weakened by night use, is
fine stream of cold water frequent
ly applied to them--[The Lancet.

PREVENTIVE OF MURRAIN.-A
prominent citizen of Purdy, Nc
Marry county, Tenn, says that the
people of his place, after n series OF
careful tests and experiments, have
become fully satisfied hat the "Tree
of Heaven" (Ailanthus glandulo-
sus,) is q sure preventive of muir
rain in cattle. The cattle COM
mence eating the leaves of the tree
about the time in the season when
murrain would appear; and none
having access to it have ever been
known to take the disease, while
others all round have been serious
ly afflicted. -[Southern Planter &

PUMPKIN P1E.--Cut the pumpkin
into thin slices, and boil it very
tender in as little water as possible.
When nearly done, be careful it
does not burn, as it is apt to do so.
When done, drain off the water,
and let the pumpkin steam or dry
on the back of the stove for ten or
fifteen minutes. Now mash and
rub through a sieve. The more
milk you put to it the more eggs
you will require, and the less milk
the less number of eggs. Ginger
and nutmeg are the favorite SPICES,
though many like cinnamon and
cloves. Sugar or molasses may be
used for s~weetening; sugar in the
proportion of two heaping table,

The Pursuit of Strength.

Those unfortunates who devote
their lives to the pursuit of stength,
according to Halls Journal Of Health,
Who rise at ~unearthly hours, and
SILVER under ice cold shower baths,
who nevr eat as much as they wish
or what they wish, who live as me-
chanically as possible, and consci-
ontiousIy deprive themselves Of
about all reasonable enjoyment, are
to be pitied. Still their terrible sys-
tenn leaves them alone during the
night. If they eat, drink, move
and have their being under it's gu
pervision, through the day, at night
they can sleep undisturbed. But a
new school has arisen in California.
Some crack-braincd enthusiast has
announced that he has prolonged his
lite for years by sleeping with his
finger tips touching his toes. The
reason Of the advantagoo Of this pro-
ceeding is not at first evident, but is
easily understood when we read that
"tho vital electrical currents are

Of being thrown off at the extremi-

Winter Bathing.
From the London News,


Yesterday morning n somewhat
remarkable scene was enacted on
the banks Of the Serpentine, in
Hyde Park it was the winter
bathers' grand festival. 1t may not
perhaps be generally known that
every morning in the year, no mat
ter how Indictment the weather may
be, there are regular bathers in the
Serpentine. Even when the water
is covered with ice, these persistent
advocates of the "cold water sys-
TEN take their regular dips. Du-
ring the recent frosts, skating and
bathing were going on at the same
lime. When the ice is unusually
thick, the aid of the icemen is quiet
ly solicited to break q hole large
enough to let a man through, when
in they pop like seals. one after
another, to the number of twenty.
and sometimes double that. There
is one old bather, more independent
than the rest, who brings his own
Ratchet three miles, secreted under
his clothes, lest his intentions should
be mistaken as he wends his way
through the streees in the DARK
winter morning. When divestet
of his clothing he energies from the
gloomy shade Of the trees, ak il
hand, and proudly walks to thu
verge of the frozen lake, like q rec
Indian looking out for scalp locks
He then begins to chop a lane, unit
he works himself out up to his chill
in water, and then commence
swimming about among the broker
{ ice, emerging from the water wit
: ~icicles dripping from his hair, nos
and ~eyelashes, the only wonde
being that he has lever seriousl
cut himself with the sharp edges c
, the broken ice. According to an
nual custom, yesterday mornin
there was o swimming match for
! silver cup, the course being on
hundred yards, and thirty bather
: commended. After this they all as
sembled around q pail containin
rum and milk, to do honor to tn

most duly honored, another bottl
was started into the remaining rul
