They are feared and 1 dreaded bj every family, who not knowing exactly why they come or i how, yet feel that either may make its appearance at any time coming in .without warning or evident reason. But the diseases or rather the causes, the attending circumstances and the way for avoiding- them, can be easily nnderstood. Without any lengthy or learned diagnosis, of them, or any in ; terminable or incomprehensible medi cal terms, we want to give a simple statemont which can be understood by any one, and when understood, half the . terror which is greatest when indefin able, may dUappcar. Tho two fevers are totally distinct "' and different Both are caused by the r preeeuce in the system of a poison, but ! if two different poisons, and produced , bydtffcreut causes or under different conditions. Mai nrial fevers fever and ague, chills, bilious fever and intermit tent frvcraro characterized by their prevalence in certain places known to Croduce the poison malaria. Malaria i believed t be tho produce of the or Einic decomposition in soil. Water is dispensable to the process and a high temperature. Marshes, flats, sloughs, banks of rivers that overflow annually, any place where moisture fa constant, when the heat comes and they are together ou the vegetation, or ex- - posed to tho action of the sun by reason of co-operation of the water, is peculi ary active in the production of this poison. It is said that malaria disap pears before the cultivation of the ground and sub-soil drainage, with free exposure of the aoj to tho action f the air and living vegetation. Noth ing is more evident in the history of malaria than its general disappearance before the extension of closely built Httesaad towns, sad sttbarbs of eitles in which malaria occurs gradually be come more healthy aa lots are draiaed ' mad occupied by houses. Malaria is !tonly the cause of fever and ague and iatermitteui fevers, but is the un derlying cau.e of cholera and ordinary umaMr complaints. Often by its in fluent the health Is quietly and silently undermined without any manifestation f feverish symptoms. Tho poison will, ef coarse, act on different consti tutions differently. Some persons will i nave a very violent fever at once, ami it will run its course quickly, while on ether it will act slowly and quietly. A person in a healthy condition of body may withstand its influence to a great extent But all causes depressing . We vital forces will favor the reception of the poison and the outbreak of the disease, especially is exposure to cold and dampness combined apt to cause an attack. The form of the malarial disease occurring will depend on the condition of the system and on the la tensity of the poison itself. Typhoid fever is also caused by the presence of a poison. The name of this poison corresponding to malaria we do not know, and we believe more Is not ipown as to its nature than of the nature of that produced by decay ing vegetable composition. The cause, however, is decaying animal matter. It is never produced by mere deeomposi- - tionof animal matter,. or by the con tents of sewers, it being essential to the formation of the poison that the typhoid germ be present, and this germ finds in decaying animal matter the noil for Its growth and development It is be- Reved that the poison is contained in the excrements, but it seems necessary for some change to go on to develop it Into activity, tor In the fresh state it manifests no activity. But admit animal matter to the cesspool or sewer, er throw it on the ground, and the ' poison becomes active and multiplies. The way in which the disease germs reach the body are air, water, articles of food, and so forth, but the violence f the fever as in malarial fever de- Smds on the state of vitality, and in vidnal peculiarities of constitution. An eminent physician. Dr. Hartshorne. thinks that the conditions of typhoid fever correspond to those of Indian cholera, and with the common autum nal cholera of this country to some ex tent Having then some Idea of what the causes are, the evident thing to be done Is to avoid them. Conditions favorable fe decaying animal matter will be avoided for fear of typhoid, and of vegetable matter for malarial fevers. JBrery one will apply this to their own emrronadings.

Mr. George Brovvnell writes from Liverpool to the St. James Gazette: "In i no various reniarKS wnicn nsvc iruoiy anpeared in your paper on 'Pacing Horses,' I have not noticed any allu sion to those of Peru, where that type of hack has been brought to a perfec tion probably unknown elsewhere. Doubtless this has originated from the climate, the nature of the country, and tho extensive sandy deserts in which a trotting or galloping hore, sinking fetlock deep, would soon exhaust him self; but apart from practical uses the gait has there attained the position of a positive art, and it requires a very prac ticed rider in that stylo of riding to do justice to a true-'caballo de paso. There are at least ten recognized varieties of the 'paso,' or pace, known to tho initiated the 'paso andante, the 'paso compagnera, etc Tho great majority of the native horses are pacers; but a really first-rate one becomes an article of luxury, and may command an ex travagant price. On some of the estates great care was devoted to the breeding of these horses, many of which were of extreme beauty, and their training and 'bitting' was a process to which tho greatest patience and plenty of time was given. I notice the gait styled artificial.' In Pern it is not so; a true pacer is born so be paces naturally, though this mav be varied or perfected by education. Trot he will not; if he can be driven into a gallop it is at once seen that it is nn aatural to him. But then, his 'pace' is so snperior to that " of the animal who has only been taught to pace that there is no comparison whatever; and it is a listie surprising that so few have been imparted into this country; though this ma he doe to Ms true merit being that of a 'journey horse, for which purpose he would of coarse be of little use here. For coaches and for their cavalry the Pernriens have relied mainly on horses Imported from Chili . .

'our children are married and cone, and my husband and I sit by our winter fire as much as we did before the little ones came to widen the circle. Life is something like a spiral staircase ; we are all the time coming around over the spot we started from, only one degree further up the stairs." "That is a pretty illustration," re marked her friend, musingly, gaxing into the glowing coals which radiated a pleasant heat from the many-windowed stove. "You know we can not stop toiling up the hill, though." "Surely we cannot, and for myself I don't find fault with that necessity pro vided the advance in life is not attend ed with calamity or suffering, for. I have had my share ol that. Not long nince my health utterly broke down. My system was full of malaria. My digestion became thoroughly disorder ed and my nerves were in a wretched state. I was languid, ate little and that without enjoying it, and had no srtength or ambition to perform even light household duties. Medical treat ment failed to reach the sent of the trouble. The disease which seemed to be weakness of all the vital organs progressed until I had several attacks which my physicians pronounced to be acute congestion of the stomach. The last of these was a desperate strug gle and I was given up to die. As the crisis had partially passed, my hus band heard of the merits of Parker's Tonic as an invigorant in just such cases as mine. I took it and felt its good effects at once. It appeared to pervade my body, as though the bless ing of new life had conic to me. Tak ing no other medicine I continued to improve, and am now in better health than I have been for a long time."
