WHAT Is THE MATTER WITH You?-
1t friend is looking sick. this is usu-
ally the question We put to him. It is
asked everywhere, times innumerable,
every day. And what are the most
frequent answers to it? Are they not
suoh as these: "Well, I'm little bill.
ious." or II feel languid and used
up" or "My stomach is out of order,"
or 'I'm under the weather." or II
don't know what's the matter with me,
hnt I don't feel right" or the like in
definite responses. Now, what is the
matter with the thousands Of both sexes
who cannot tell exactly VIII at ails them,
aud yet are evidently out of health?
The matter is simply this: they don't
properly digest what they eat, their
livers are torpid, their nerves are weak,
their blood is impure, and their vital
energies are depressed. What they
need Is course of Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters-not one or two doses, but
a course-to strengthen their stomachs,
superinduce healthy flow of bile,
steady and invigorate their nerves, i'm.
prove the condition Of their blood
and rouse their vital powers. These
results the great vegetable restorative
will assuredIy bring about. It rullcs
the whole system, reinforces every i'm
portant organ, regulates every fnnc-
ton. and purifies every animal fluid.
For chronic dyspepsia, constipation,
liver complaint. Intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, rheumatism, general
debility, premature decay. and the iu-
frmities of age. it is the best and safe.t
stimulant and alternative that has ever
been compounded. Its Ingredients
are all vegetable, all pure and whole
some. In districts infested with swamp
miasma, and in all new settlements, its
use is essential to the preservation of
health. The West believes in it, and
80, in fact, do the people of all sections
of the Union. S9+l3

Current Literature.

The current literature of people is always
an interesting study. To the American
reader American biography and history are
especially interesting. We are now at sufi-
cient distance from our Revolutionary struggle
with Great Britain to judge the men and
events of that period with calmness and i'm
partiality. Of the personages who took part
in that contest none occupied more promi-
nent position than Franklin. Here at last is
q life of the philosopher that fills oil the
requirements of biography and autobiography,
and consequently we have yielded large part
Of the space which we devote to literature
to-daysto review of Mr.. Bigelows work.
As cognate subject our review Of Inger-
soils 'Life of Greeley will havo special
attraction, for Greeley was, in his
way, quite as remarkable o man as Franklin.
Then we pass judgment on Mr. Abbotts his
tory of Captain Kidd, the pirate, and CLEAN
some interesting facts from John Camden
Hotten's lists of the emigrants from Great
Britain to America during the seventeenth
century. We also get glimpse Of the sim
gular s'Maria Monk excitement in the book
Of Mrs. Eckel, her daughter, whose story is
now told for the first time. Our reviews

equal interest, and the whole presents valu-

tible material Had the fire begun in the
northern portion of that metropolis it would
have been comparatively unharmed. This
fact proves the necessity of building the most
freproof structures in the southern parts OF the
Western towns and Cities SO that IT the fire
begins among them it may be extinguished,
and not spread over the whole area of tho
town. No doubt, also, further precaution
might prove useful in the agricultural dis
tricts, to reduce the amount of inaammable
fencing, or, as is done in France and Ger
many to dispense with it almost entirely.
The cinders of the fences swallowed up in the
fire storm are it's most efficient means of ex-
tension, tor those of the prairie grass are too
small to be very dangerous. As it is mani
fest impossibility ever to employ any extin-
gushing agent on these enormous confagra-
tions, they can be checked only by some such
expedient tor Withdrawing fuel from the
flames.
It is, we hope now so late in the autumn
that the Indiana burnings may be arrested by
heavy rains But the farmers in Western

spoke of Napoleon's great military road, ff-
teen miles long, and forcibly inquired, "what

heaven may come and all the redeemed OF

Cornforth, of London, delivered discourse
upon 1.-THE Immutability of the Saviour,
and Father Toner depicted the dangers OF
postponing repentance. There is much varl-

the necessity OF the Christian religion to the
happiness of mankind.

The western Prairie Fires.

The alarming prairie fires in Indiana are
the natural sequel Of the intense aridity which
has prevailed there since the close of sum-
mer. The September weather review shows
an extensive belt Of drought running south
westwardly from the southern shores of Lake
Huron across Indiana and Illinois to the
lower Ohio valley, in the centre of which the
reported prairie couAagi alton has ragged. As
the beautiful West, SO promising to the
farmer, develops its civilization the conviction
grows that these fires of the fall are becoming
more frequent and fatal The unguarded
camp fire, the spark of locomotive, the dis
charge Of the huntsman's rife, the lightning
fash, may instantly ignite the vast seas of
parched grass which wave over the prairies
and the autumnal winds spread the havoc far
and wide. These winds are the southwest,
whose breath, like that of the desiccating
sirocco, prepare vegetation, and even the
soil itself, to burn. The prairie fire is, it is
true. as old an institution as the prairie
ITSELF which, from the earliest period, as far
as geologic indications point, has been kept
trceless by the annual burning When as yet
no human incendiary trod the Western wids
to desolate them wantonly the electric dis
charge from the storm cloud was probably
sufficient every year to kindle the flames At
any rate, experience shows that no human
device can avert the annual calamity of forest
and prairie burnings and, aside from ar
tifcial clearings, the area OF treelessDess has
rapidly expanded in the memory of living
Western settlers. The resinous nature of the
forests which fringe the Western lakes gives
admission and lends terrific intensity to the
once kindled fame.
The only practical question which is lett for
the Western farmer to solve in his effort to
stay the fiery element is how to build his
cities so that they may best resist it. The
winds which transport the ashes of the con-
suming prairie and COW thcm broadcast are
from the southwest. The ill-fated city of
Chicago, in her great fire, was utterly at the
mercy OF the fames because they commenced
in her southwestern precincts and were
borne enthusiastically by the prevailing
winds till arrested by the waters of Lake
Michigan "E ArhAustAd for want Of combus-

The Metropolitan Pulpit.

We have gathered and offer to the public to-
day, not bouquet of bright-colored and brill
liant garden flowers, roses, tulips and pinks,
but simple bunch OF herbs. To such bunch
we surely may compare the sermons published
on another page, herbs ofgrace, herbs Of humil-
ity, herbs of charity, forgiveness and SIM
plicity. There is healing in these leaves, and
if some of them seem bitter to the taste they
may be, for that very reason, more eficacious
It would be well, at all events, for the public,
30 eager in pursuing pleasure that expires
when it is overtaken, and happiness the
mirage that vanishes to study whether in
these discourses-and others that we have
week by week printed-there may not be per-
manent help and strength.
Among the most noteworthy of these SER
mons we may place that OF Bishop Bissell
upon the duties Of Christian life, which are
expounded with ability, and that of Bishop
Whipple upon the duties of clergymen. These
subjects correspond to each other very closely,
as must be evident to all who examine them
with care. The latter sermon was delivered
ON the occasion of the conservation of the Rev.
Mr. WelIes as Bishop Of the Diocese Of Wis
consin. "The Mission of Jesus" was explained
by the Rev. DR.. Bellows, and a comparison OF
the teachings in the books of the evangelists
with those of Paul was finely introduced.
Mr.. Beecher presented his favorite idea
ef God and His relations to this sinful
