to resent individual grievances. Greeley has
dealt me many heavy blows but since he has
turned bis guns against Grant aud has come
to rescue the country from tho brutal tyranny
which SO degrades Us all, my heart grows warm
to bin, and is purged Of all resentment for the
heavy blows lie has struck US in past conflicts,
by the reflection that it is only because be has
been so stern an opponent Of tho democracy
through life that he has it now il his power
to save the country"

We hold health and life by frail tenure and not
to protect them to the best of ability would
seem to argue deficiency of common sense. The
searching winds and cold rains of spring the ropic
heat of summer, the malarious vapors of autumn,
and the paralyzing temperature of winter, are all
ininlicai TO those finely adjusted and sensitive
pieces of mechanism We call our bodies. Each
season has its peculiar perils, and the fall is per
haps as prolific of dangerous disorders any of
them: for at this fevers and bowel COM
plants are very apt to take an epidemic form. AS
preventive of this class of diseases, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters cannot be too warmly recommend
ed In it combined five essential medical prop
critics. 1t is tonic, at once powerful and whole
some-a stimulant, pure and undetiled-an spetientj
mild and painless-an anti-hiious agent of marvel
ous efficacy, and general regulating medicine
without an equal in the pharmacop8io- These FIVE
distinct properties, operating together IN perfect
harmony, produce condition of the system some
what analogous to that brought about by course of
pugilistic training. In other words, as iudicous
physical training hardens the flesh and renders Il
Comparatively fst-proof, does this marvellous in
vigorant increase the capabty of the organs of the
body to resist the more direct and insidious as
saults of disease. 1t imparts new elasticity and
strength to the vital machinery, and those who use
it preventive of intermittent fever. dysentery,
diarrhsa, dyspepsia, rheumatism, and other all
ments common at this season, may walk fearless
through an atmosphere impregnatet with the NOR
bid elements which give rise to those maladieS.

A gentleman who is temporarily absent

lateS TO us that alter retiring to bed night
before last, and before going to sleep, he
seemed all at once to be in IA room at

seemed as real and tangible as If he were
that moment in it, 1t could not be a

mept lost his consciousness Upon u bed
in the room lay his brother, apparently
very pale, and leaning over the bed stood
his mother in great seeming distress. All
day yesterday he could not Danish the in
cident Efrom his mind, and last night
came the sequel. He received letter
from home saying that his brother had
fallen from high window, and ever since
has lain in an unconscious state, in the

scarcely left his bedside. We have this

THE FARM, AND HOUSEHOLD.
4 he Protection and Planting OF

The Protection and Planting of"
Trees. ores.
The time has arrived. =
parts Of our country when, in many
trees for the ~ :, the want of forest
fuel shaa rurpOses of building, fencing
the 4e, shelter and general effect in
landscape, is being keenly felt 1t is
therefore, plain enough that in the clear
ing OF farms great care should be taken
70 leave belts and masses of trees for.
although single trees and little groups,
when stripped Of the protection of larger
masses, may not be able to withstand the
elements, still those of greater extont serve
the most desirable purposes, both for use
and ornament. The mania, in many re-
gions Of country, for stripping the whole
face Of nature OF every tree and shruE, is
so great as to destroy some of the finest
effects of the most charming landscapes
would 1t not be we'll to use great Judgment
N deciding what trees should be cut down ?
The tree, a hundred years in growing,
may be cut down in an hou r! Then let
the noble and beautiful trees, save when
they have to be removed for the purposes
of profitable cultivation of the soil, be pro-
tected rather than destroyed, and let our
young men plant young trees. They will
benefit their children, If not themselves,
and serve as very expressive mementoes of
their usefulness. The snow, natures over
coat for the soil, is drifted in the absence
OF shelter from the high winds and in many
Instances, IN the absence of trees our crops
are LAID bare to the biting blasts of winter
