Defend Your Health.

The fall of the leaves not only symboliAes hui
man decay, but promotes it. In other words, the
ehuvia from dying and rotting vegetation is un-
favorable to health. To this and other causes
especially excess of moisture in the atmosphere
may be ascribed the prevalence Of acute disorders
Of the stomach, bowels and liver at this season.
Every person Of bilious habit is liable to be very
bilious in the fall. Then, too, all persons whose
digestion Is weak are more than ordinarily dys-
peptic, and individuals prodispo to collie diar-
rhea and dyscmtery are particularly likely to be
attacked by these complaints. The most complete
defense against each and all Of these distressing
ailments is bodily vigor. To obtain this blessing
in all it's plentitude where it does not exist and
to preserve and pcrpetuate it where it does exist
Hostettcr's stomach Bitters is earnestly recon-
mcndcd. 1t the peculiar office of this prepare
organs which digest ana temper the food, and
convert it into life ustaining blood. Bodily igor
depends upon the nourishing qualities II that
fluid, and the nutritiousncss of the blood depends
upon the functional activity and regularity whiC h
it is the special province of the Bittcrs to
Hence it is the hest defense of health at this
son, and indeed at all seasons. When dyscntery,
diarrhea, bilious collie, and other violent aftcc-
tions of the bowels become epidemic as they often
do in certain parts Of the country in the fall, it
will be found that persons who have been wi Sc
enough to resort to the Blttcrs preventive re
almost invariably exempted from the scourge.

WASTE or COARSE FODDER.

A contemporary calls attention to n
very serious evil prevalent among the
farmers of the West-onc that a very
little care and attention would correct.
We allude to the waste of the coarse
fodder" or trough feed "-cornstalks,
straw, etc. The losses to the farmers of
the West from this cause, especially in
the newer portions-though the evil is
seen nearly everywhere-amounts to
considerable, as any one will perceive
who will take the trouble to examine
into the subject. Corn is left to ripen
on the stalks, instead of being cut an4
shocked, as it invariably should be-
The husking is not done till late in
October, and is often delayed even until
winter has set in. Cattle are then
turned into the fields to live off the
stalks, but they make very poor fodder
after the nutriment has been so thor
oughly dried up and frozen out. When
the small grain is thrashcd the straw is
allowed to go to waste-oftcn burned.
which is most foolish and ruinous dis
position to make of it. Many farmer
winters his cattle On straw and corn
stalks, and they come out in the spring
III fine condition. But by far the larger
proportion of the farmers allow all this
food to go to utter waste. We Judge
that the loss to the average farmer in
the Western States, from failure to
make the best use of his CROUCH feed -
is at least ten per cent annually upon
the amount of his productions. This
loss, IN the course of ten years, would
amount to handsome figure. Many
may be unable, from the lack of means
and scarcity of labor, to utilize it-as

little progress might be made each year

matters after Il WHILE The subject is
an important one, and the farmers
should make it matter of thought and

"The people must understand one
thing, says the Chicago Times, "and that
is that there is nothing now in the tinan-
cial situation except what they choose
to make it. Let them believe and act
as if all were we'll, and all will be we'll
Let them believe and act as if all were
wrong, and all will be wrong. There is
nothing whatever in the situation that
is beyond the comprehension of the most
ordinary mind There is nothing COM
pick about it. All this talk about ex-
change, premiums, over-issue, credits,
cost, prices, value, and the like, does
not reach the merits of the case. All
that there is wrong about it can be
summed up explicitly and comprehen-
sively i'll the phrase lack Of confidence.
The remedy does not lie in balances,
scarcity of this, OF that, or the other,
but simply and solely in one thing +:
CONFIDENCE.
Now let the people understand this,
and they Will rnperstand all there is in
the financial middle that is worth
knowing. They will also understand,
i'll understanding this, that they have
the key of the situation in their own
hands. The key is confidence. 1t will
unlock the imprisoned millions which
the country now needs, rs the depleted
veins of wounded man need blood.
Have confidence! Have confidence in
your banker, and deposit your money.
Have confidence in your debtor, and ex-
tend the maturity of his obligations.
Have confidence everywhere, buy, sell,
credit, and transact business as if the
Bank of England stood behind every
business man of integrity in the COM
munity. In other words, go on as moth
ing had happened, and, in month, no
legitimate business will have any reason
to suspect that anything has happened.

frozen regions. Between ten and twelve
o'clock at night, while this work was
proceeding, very severe gale sprang
up, and the snow began to fall heavily,
with strong but variable winds. Oper-
atoms, however, were continued, and
after untiring efforts the boats were got
upon the ice and a large quantity OF
provisions taken out. Suddenly the
hawsers by which the ship was made fast
to the ice gave way-onc swapping, the
other tearing its anchor from its lodS-
ment in the ice. This was about md
night. The polaris drifted away, those
on board being powerless to do anything
for their comrades on the ice. In a
short time the storm and darkness shut
out every object from their view. The
feelings of the men can be imagined as,
with half the crew left to perish, rs they
supposed, in the desert of ice and snow,
the ship iioatcd away helpless, until at
last she brought mp at Life Boat Cove.
At the session of the British Associa
ton mt Bradford, on DIST ult., Capt.
Markham, Of the British Navy, who was
on board the Arctic when she received
the men rescued from the Polaris, gave
n detailed account of the voyage of Capt.
Hail, which he gathered from the mem
bers Of the expedition. He said the
Polaris occupied only five days IN max
ing the distance from Cape ShackIeton
nolthwald to latitude 50 deg. 16 min.
This was the nearest point to the North
Pole ever reached by civilized man. The
ice was soft all the way, and stronger
vessel could have attained a higher latl-
tude. The London Observer closes a
eulogy on the late Capt Hall as follows:
The rude wooden monument to the
intrepid American, standing alone III the
Polar solitude, is at the same time a
grand memorial, trophy and chai-
