Out of thO bosom of the air; Out of the aloud folds of her bosom shaken, Over the woodlands brown and bare, Over the harvest fields forsaken, Silent and soft and slow Descends the snow.

My acount will begin with my, levin home an arivin at Huntindon, to my departyure from there 4 the city. It was a butyful morn; the . sun had risen in the apex of his glory, all natur was butiful—but miserable cold. The gentile gefers was shorn of their gen tileness, and much were they cold, my feet felt like great inkebusses en my locomotiv impulses; in fact, Mr. Editor, there was much kold an little comfort. 0! wot my impulses was that frosty morn. now my hart palpetatod with xpectashuns of njoyment; 1 felt sus tained by plespres contemplated, ex pected, fondly looked for, • Alass, how bitter reality sweeps our casles inter nothin, our plesures inter panes.

A feller told me.the cow had the rite of. way ; I beleeved him. The animal stopped, we went on.

Out rushes the conductor; and out puts a yung feller who winds up the cars when he wants them to stop. Sudden was that stop ; I druv my nose inter a man's back, in the pa abed of me.

Beir A clergyman in Colorado, con versing with a lady of that part of the world on the vital subject of religion, asked her whether the consolations and ministrations of the church were as precious to her in her new home as in the States. To whieh . guery sho re• sponded (in no irreverent spirit, but dimply from the fopco of 1410, "you bet TERNS, $2,00 a year in advanee‘ Let the. Credit System be Forever We observe says the Reading Jour• nal, that the return of peace bas re vived the temptation not only among business men but among the people, to reinaugurato the old credit system. There is something ominous in this disposition. It bodes evil to the nation. Having demonstrated our ability to-do atcash business,there is species of insani• ty in everkpontemplating a return to long credits, s whichbetokene.a.disease hard to eradicate. A contemporary well declares that the credit system is calculated only to expose, all who yield •to its practices to serious danger from sudden panic. and momentary revul sion. While the war lasted, the pee , ple of the country wisely adopted the rule of selling er buying only for cash, or on short time, and they thus avoid ed the risks whieh necessarily attend long credits. 'This policy. was pursued while everything, to sell, owing to' the expansion of the currency, was on the rise, and there was not seemingly so much need of prudence. But now, with the general understnnding that the policy of contraction is to be ad opted by the Governinent, all valued must be more or less affected thereby, and so long as this unsettled condition of the'curreney continues, so lang 'it be unsafe to launch out into the sea of credit. We would therefore advis'e our business men not to buy goods ex cept for cash or Very short time. The Eastern merchants, who have large stocks on hand, Which they are anx— ious to dispose of, are making fredand tempting offers of long credits, but it is not safe to accept thqm. -Bey only. for cash, and sell only fOr cash and then.you have your _business within your own control: And we give the same advice to cour people generally: Buy only for cash. Do not ask your merchant or your grocer to oredi s t you. It is better for you and it is better for him. Goods unsold are always prefer. able to accounts unpaid, and he is the most prudent man who has least to fear from changes in the money mar. ket. Selling on long credit.may swell the aggregate of nominal gains, but "nominal gains" may wakellp and find himself a real loser, after all. We do not desire to create unnecessary alarm, because the Contraction which it is the interest of the Government to inaugu rate, must be very gradual and may have to be yet for a time postponed, 1)0;4 is improbable that the present condition of monetary affairs should continue long. All classes of business men are looking to the futu're and awaiting the Action of Oongrees.; and to avoid trouble, provide . against loss and guard against any , sudden'fall in values, we deem it ofthe first, import ance that the policy of cash purchases and cash payments, which carried us through the•l,Var \tli SO little com mercial distiplian6o, continued. Let neither • bilyer's tier sellers yield to the temptation of inau gurating anew the old credit system which prevailed beforeand ceased with the war. And so, WhatevermaT tract spirO, our people will all find them selves "snug and taut." CAUSES ,OF SUDDEN DEAT N.—V:Dry few of t e fa ddan deaths which are. said to arise from diseases of the heart do really arise *from that cause. To ascertain the real origin of sudden deaths, an experiment has been tried in Europe, and reported to a scientific congress held at Syasboarg. Sixty six oases of sudden death were made the subject of a thorough post mortem examination : in these cases only two were found who'had died from disease of ; the heart.' Nine out of the sixty, oix bad died of apoplexy, while there. l Imo r, forty six cases of congestion of ' the ltings--tlPat is, the lungs were so' hill of blood they conld not woric,there not being room enough for a sufficient qiiantity of air to outer to stipribl't life'. Thocauses that produCe congestion of the lun'gsare cold feet, tight clothing, costive bqwels, sitting still untill after being warmed with labor or a: rapid walk, going too suddenly from a close, heated room into the cold air, especially after speaking, and sudden, depressing 'news operating' 'Of' 6e blood. These caiise's of 'sadden death beteg known, an avoidance, of thein may serve to lengthen' niany valuable licee Whieh would gthei•wiso be lost ander the vei•dief. of heart Complaint'.
