L'isco, ureeniann, August zoTiie Tigress arrived here yesterdayfrom the North, having discoveredtlie camp of the crew of the Polarisat nine P. M. on August 14. Therewas a heavy snowstorm and ice.packto the northward. A boat expeditionwas sent out under command of Lieutenant-Comman- der White, who founda body Esquimaux in possession ofthe camp of the Polaris craw. Tbecrew had passed last winter ia thisplace, where the weather was verysevere, latitude being S dcg. 23 minand longitude io deg. 4U nun. west;tncy uuut two wiiaie-ooa- ts ot piecesof the ship. Having made all theirpreparations, they deserted the vessel and left for Cape York late inJune. The ship was still afloat,moored to the rocks with hawsers; aheavy gale of wind came up aboutthe middle of July and the mooringsb oe, the ship cut adrift and sank,the wreck being covered with ice.All the paders were secured, and theTigress stood south for Cape York,lookiug out for people, but therewere no signs human beings.

Onions and Superstitions.In tlie Scotch Highlands the near

dislike exists against being buried onthe north side of the graveyard. Itwas generallj reserved lor the unoappsed, the excommunicated, andfor suicides. The south, direct eastand west or near iLe altar were thefavorite localities.

The peculiar omens regarding theNew Year are very singular. It isconsidered very unlucky to lend any-thing on .New Year's day, aud inmany parts of England and Scotlandthey will not suffer fire or irou to betaken out of the house, la Liucolrand every member ofa familybrings something into the house be.fore anything goes out ; and they havea proverb lake out, then take iu.bud luck will begin ; but take in, theutake out, aud good luck will comeabout" In the Isle oi Man they willeven throw out ashes or dirty wateri-- this day ; aud it would be con-sidir- eJ

ti ao not need to point the moraof all these fancies. Their folly isuniversally acknowledged and bowedlo. Yet every thoughtful , enlighten- -ed mind recognizes with gratitudethat their lives have fallen in daywhen the wonders ot science aregreater than the wonders of superstition. Nor is this all ; we know thattlie destinies of humanity are in thebosom ol God, aud that "the steps ota good man are all ordered by Himwho doeth all things well aud kind''J-

The feeble and debilitated usually fancythey are in a more hopeless condition thanthey really are, The resourcts of natureare- - not easily exhausted. Lven whenstrength and appetite fail, when the eyesare heavy and hmtrelees, the complexionpallid, the nerves tremulous, the body attenuated, and the mind depressed, there isgenerally a reserve of latent power behindsuch palpable evidences of weakness. Va-rious modts of treatment arc resorted to byphysicians in the hope of developing andrendering available this store of sleepingvitality, but the surest, and indeed the onlythoroughly safe and reliable means of awake-ning the dormant energies of system is acourse of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. ,

Electric" ty, shower baths, the tfeeh brush,sea bathing, &c , may be well enough intheir way, as auxiliaries, but they do notreach the source of the evil. All physicaldahility proceeds either from adcrangementof the functions of the assimilating secre-tive and ital organs, or frjm a sluggishconstitution. In either case, and also incases where both causes exist, the Bitters'will invariably produce an immediate andsalutary change in the condition of thepatient, and eventually effect a completecure None of the dangerous alkaloids, toooften administered as tonics, can be otherwise than deleterious under cucli circum-- 6
