AVERT THE DANGER. The "ethereal
mildness" with which poets credit the
vernal season is more an illusion OF the
fancy than a meteorological fact. Early
spring in temperate climates is fearful
time, and the tears are usually too cool
for health or comfort. To avert the
complaints to which the logs and winds
of the season are apt to give rise, pru-
dent people who believe in the proverb
that prevention is better than cure,"
fortify their stomachs and brace mp their
nerves and muscles with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Those who do this
are wise. and are rewarded for their
wisdom by escaping the visitations OF
chills and fever, rheumatism, bilious
ness, hstulenoy, constipation, stomach
complaints. &c., 30 common in damp,
inhospitable weather. To the less pru-
dent. who neglect this precaution, and
suffer for it, we would cay, that the dis
orders which this potent vegetable tonic
prevents It also cures. M1t3t1

ture, desires to foist the debts of the
rebel States upon the Government. His
scheme generally extends to. aud in.
cludes, the loyal States, where no such
aid has been asked. It is, however, ut
the core, intended simply to remove
from the Southern States the indebted
ness they themselves created, and now
fnd so onerous. It is naturally eocepta
BILE to them. There can be no donb.
that every Southern State would vote
for and accept 80 ensy an adjustment OF
it's burdens. There is just Rs| little ,tha,
every Northern, irrespective Of party de.
narration, will refuse it.
The scheme is not one that really com
mands consideration. The probability
of its adoption is 80 exceedingly remote
that the most nervous need have no up.
prehensions. The country is still too
near to the great rebellion, and recol.
lects too freshly the sacrifices it necessi-
tated, and feels too frequently and
forcibiy the burdens it has entaiied, to
be led away by ary such projects, eyen
though they came from more approved
sources.
Indeed, there is not enough OF variety
in the expression of Northern sentiment
upon this subject to relieve the discus.

Each party, Radical, Liberal, Republi.

Newspaper Stereotyping.

Perhaps the greatest improvement
for facilitating the rapid production

Of the power press, is that by which
newspaper forms are quickly and

which the stereotype form is made
to fit is SO small that the type could
