Suggestions oe the Season.?King winter bus waved his sceptre over the land, whitening the earth, bridging the streams, and turning the water? falls to pendant crystal. Upon ani? mated as well as inanimate nature, the frigid atmosphere produces a marked effect. The blood is driveu from the surfaoe of the body back upon its inner fountains, and chills and fever, rheumatism, pulmonary diseases, bil? iousness and uupleasuut disorders oi the stomach und bowels are apt to be the results. Now, what is requirod to fortify tho I system against tho attacks of disease thus engendered? Clearly a tonic, which, acting through tho stomach upon tho circulation aud tho nervous system, shall re-determine tho vita) fluid to thu surface, and brace the nerves of motion and seusutiou. But this is not all that is required. With the tonic must be combined snob alte? rative and regulating agoncies as will tend to keep the whole animal ma? chinery "in good working order." These three grand requisites of a winter restorative exist, in their fullest perfection, in llostetter's Stomach Bitters, whioh aro compounded of the purest vegetable stimulants and ex? tracts of tho most genial and healthful | roots, barks aud plants thut the her? balists and botanists of the world have yet discovered. Defensive medication is a precaution which should never be neglected when danger is present, and, therefore, a course of the Bitters, at this season, is partioulurly desirable, especially for the feeble and sickly. As a remedy fur biliousness,. dyspepsia, nervousness and bowel complaints, there is nothing comparable to this wholesome restora? tive. A ' Dec 18 t3fll Schenox'bI^andbake Pills will be found to possess those qualities neces? sary to the t'otal eradication of all bi? lious attaoks)prompt to start tho se? cretions of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery iu medical science to have invented a remedy for these stubborn complaints, which de? velop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of culomol, a mine? ral justly dreaded by mankind, aud ac? knowledged to bo destructive iu the extromo to the huraau system. That the properties of certain vegetables comprise all tho virtues of calomel, without its injurious tendencies, is now an udmltted tact, rendered indisputa bio by scientific researches; and those who use tho Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs ami roots of the fields. These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious derangements without sali? vation or any of tho iujurious efieots of calomel or other poisons. Tho se? cretion of bile is promoted by these pills, as will be seen by the altered 1 color of the stools, aud disappearing of tho sallow complexion aud olonnsiug of tho tongue. Ample directions lor use accompany each box of pills. Pre? pared only by J. II.

Primarily Iba Unknowable moved upqn ooamoB and evolved protoplasm. '\ 2. And protoplasm waa ioorganio aad undifferentiated, containing all things in. potential energy; and a spi? rited evolution moved upon the fluid mass. 3. And the Unknowable said, Let atoms attract; and their oontact begat light, heat aod electricity. 4. And tho Unconditioned differen? tiated the atoms, and ench alter its kind; and their combinations begat reck, air aud water. 5. And there went out a spirit of evolution from the Unconditional, and working in protoplasm, by accrotiou and absorption producod the orgauic cell. G. And the cell by nutritiou evolved primordial germ, and germ developed protogeno, aud protogeno begat eozoon, aud eozoon bogat mound, aud monad begat uuimalcule. 7. Aud unimalouho begat ephemera; then begin creeping things to multi? ply on the face of the earth. 8. And oarthly atom in vegetable protoplasm begat tho molecule, and thence cumo all grass and every herb in the earth. 0. And animalcnlre in tho water evolved fins, tails, claws and sealer-; and in tbo air wings aud beaks, aud on the laud they sprouted such organs as were necessary as played upon by the environment. 10. And by the accretion aud ab? sorption came the radiate uud mol? luscs, and niellusca begat articulata, and artioulata begat vertebrala. 11. Now thoso are the generation of the higher vertebrata, in the cosmic period, that the Unknowable evolatod the bipedal mammalia. 12. And every man of the earth, white ho was yet a monkey, and the horse, wbilo he was a hippariou, uud j the hippariou before he was on ore j don. 13. Out of the aseidia? came tue ampbibiun, and begat the peudactyle; aud the pendaotyle, by inheritance and selection, produced tho bybolote, from which are the simiadio in ull their tribes. 14. And ont of the simiadte the le? mur prevailed above his fellows, and produced the platyrbiuo monkey. 15. And tho platyrbiuo begat the catturrbiue, nnd the cattarrbine mon? key begat the anthropoid ape, uud the ape begat tho longimauous oraug, and tho orang begat tbo chimpanzee, and the cbioipuuzoe evoluted the what is it? Id. And the what is it went into tho Und of Nod and took him a wife of the longimanous gibbons. 17. Aud iu process of the cosmic period were born nnto them aud their children the anthropomorphic primor- | dial types. i 18. The houuculus, tho proguathus, I the troglodyte, the nutochtou, tho tor- ; ragou?these arc the generations of primeval man. 10. And the primeval man wae naked and not ashamed, but lived in j qaadrutnacous innocence, and strug? gled mightily to harmonize with the environment. 20.

And man grew a thumb for that be hud need of it, and developed ca? pacities for prey. 22. For, behold, the swiftest men caught the most animals, and the swiftest animals got away from the' most men; wherefore the slow animals . were eateu aud the slow men starved to death. 23. Aud as types were differentiated, the weaker types oontiuually disap? peared. 21. And tho earth was filled with j violence; for man strove with man, and tribo with tribe, whereby they killed off' tho weak and foolisti and secured the survival of tfce fittest. .. - ( A Disgusted IjfitanAit.?The city of i Chicago has a burglar who professed to bo shocked by the meanness aud i false pretences of the inhabitants. Tho whole towu, accordiug to a btutu meut before us, has been pul in u stnto of consternation by u mysterious plunderer, supposed to be "Jack, of Pitlsburg," who enters houses while tho inmates aro at supper, rifles tue jewelry boxes and greenback boards and silver baskets, uud wheu nut by any of those whom he has plundered, bows himself out, saying that he ha;, mistaken tho house. No oue had any idea of the grctmbucks boirdod away, tbo costly jewels that fond husbands ' ami fathers and friends had bestowed as souvenirs of their affection; thy watches, brooches, rings aud neck lacos binding with diamonds und pearls, and built up with solid gold, that were jtl?t lying around loose in thoso Chi? cago houses, and that are now mourned by their disconsolate owners. It seems, however, that "Jaok" considers I himself as much an injured man as his victims, for bo writes to the Tribune to | Huy that iu most of tbo houses be en? tered, he found chiefly dollar-store1 jewelry, piollbaok watches, oroide and tbo like, that the whole amouut of his plunder will not suffice to buy him a first class ticket to Pittsburg, and that tho people who nro bewailing tho loss of their valnablcs never owued any-1 thing more valuable than a Cape INI iy I diamond, unless it was a Cairngorm 1 pebble.

He had rooked away for five minutes, when Mary Jane, who had rilently ob? served the whole munccuvre, said:| "Oome to bed, yon fool, you! the baby ain't there!" A Spare Artiste.?Apropos of Sa? rah .Bernhardt, who ie tbin as a ghost, the Paris Figaro tells the following wicked story: "Her theatre dresser was complaining to the cleaner of the comedio that the dresbiug-roouis were not kept in good order. 'Why,' said ?he, 'only imagine, I found n flea in M'lle Sarah Bernhardt's dressing-room ouly last night.' 'Poor beast,' said the unsympathizing employee, *he most have been almost starved to death.' " A man in Michigan procured a di? vorce from bis wife, iuteuding to mar? ry another woman. The latter, how? ever, got tired waiting and married another man on the day the divorce was granted. Then the fellow hesi? tated whether or not to try to make it up with his wife again, and while he was hesitating, his wife married an (other fellow. This is what would naturally be aalled getting left all roand.
