Advice to CoammIumaptivem.
In some good advice to consump.
tives, Dr. Hall says:
"Eat all you can digest, and exer
vise a great deal in the open air, to
convert what you eat into pure health
l 6 blood. Do not be 'afraid f 'ut
door hii inay or night. Do not be
airaid of sudden changes of weather;
let no change, hot or cold, keep yoa in
doors. If it ir ainy weather, the
more need for your going out, because
you cat as much on i rainy day as up
oni a clear day, and if you exercise less
hat much mure remains in the system
of what ought to be thro - n oIl' by ex
ercise, and .-ome ill result, some con.
sequent symptom or ill feeling is the
certa i issue.
I it is cold out of doors, do not
muflie your eyes, mouth and nose in
frli-s, veils, woolen cm Il)f'orters, and the
like; trature has sui.plied you with the
best, Muller, with fhe best inhaling

cold of winter a- d in again every five

scarcely find a consumptive man in a

It is wonderful how afraid consump.

she must be possessed of an unnatural
spirit. So I tooak hier to the Bishop
"To Bishop Hu~ghes-anld told him
my woful tale, and alsia what I thought
was the cause of' it. The Bishop as
sured me she not only had one, but shte
actually had seven devits. I became
Irightenied alnost to death. I firrmly
believed that there was niot thenl o~n
tbe earth a man more sorrowful, terri
lied, and perplexed than I. My three
little children were helpless arid des
stitute, arnd if I had the benefit (at

might not, behold t~herr miseranle con.

told me I mnust take courage. In the
langtrage ot despair I asked himn
what couild be done. He told me Ihe
did not see that an) thing could possi.
bly be done at present. I asked him
in the name of Almighty God and the
blessed Virgin, to do something for
her. He made no answer, which still
increased my alarm. In the perlexi.
ty of. niy"inin.a I had forgotten to
make an offering. i.o I saw at once the
reason he did nothing for her. lie
did not wish to ask me, I suppose; and
knowing it would have no ef1ect if
not paid for, I ofTered hin one doliar
lie asked me if I could give no more.
I told him I had to borrow even that
from one of the men that worked with
me. le told me it was not enough,
but seeing I had no more, and was
poor, he would accept it and cure her.
lie put oin his stole, got his book and
heoly water, got her to kneel down,
made tle sign of the cross on her
fo rehead, motihit, breast and back. Ie
read a wile I-, then spoke some words to
himself, with his eyes lifted upwards.
Ine. then breathed into her mouth, nos.
trils aid ears. She instantly turned
pale, and seemed for a moment insen
sible. In a lw mmintients the recov.

SUFFERINo AND DEATH ON THE PAAJ
niEs. -An aceaunt reached Lalayette,
(Indi.) during the last week, of .the
sufferings of two eiigrant tamilies on
thu prairies, a desription'of hich is
really heart sickeni Ug.
It seems that on the 21t''January
last, a violent, storm happeied, and
that on the Saturday preceding two
fanmibles, consistinig of ten persons,
were inl the act, of maoving from South
ern lidiana to N. rthern Illinois.
They arrived at Oxtard, the county
seat of BeiLtol county, (tid.) about
forty miles i.orthwest tol Lafayette,
with two ox teanins, and well provided
with necessaries fIor the roaid. They
remained there through the storm, aid
on Monday morning resuimed their
journey. Last Tuesday morning a
man passitig over a prairie, only about
live miles from Oxford, camie upon a
sight which filled him with horror.
The carcases of two oxen, Iromn
which the visceral had been removed,
lay upon the ground. Itside of oa.e
of thi-mi were the I'rozen bt dies of lo..r
children, and in the other the frozeni
coipse of tle nauther, with a fiur.-ig
inlant at her breast. Under the snow
was a heap of ashes, inl which the iron
of'the w;agonas showe i that the party
had brokei thent up, and bulned ev
er) thing they had in thei, in the elfoirt
to save their lives. Nut Jar fromn this
spot, was Iound the body of the oitlier
womaain ou the part), partly concealed
iII a sow drilt, aid ioear her uie uf'Ltue
Itaein. The two other ineii had nut been
louid.
It is probable that the party became
illextoicably inivolveu in the snow
drilts om the prairie, and lost their
prezsence of in:id. After bu riming up
their wagtm..s it would st-ein that, the
mnen had killed two of the oxen for a
shler to those iound in tlem. an
Llen, accomipanied by one woman,
vainly Cideavered to reach the town
they had left, and procure aid to res.
eue their comipanions. The two other
