And cold that heart SO warm,
Till clouds thy star have shaded,

All mute in death doth lie,
And the iount that of refreshed thee,

Thou hast one tie 10 bind thee
To this dark world OF care,
Then lei not sorrow blind thee

we seated the salt between each plant. so
as to divide it's power, we are inclined to
think that the effect would have been OH
erwse. Neither the tea or table spoon
should be filled up to what is called heap.
That salt will drive away bugs and worms
from plants, we have also tested, by very
simple experiment, in our garden. Hav'
ing several beds Of very fine cabbageS ia
ken by srubs, we applied salt mud around
the roots of the plants. In one night after
this application, not grub has been found
upon the bed. That we might be sure Of
the effects Of our experiment. we left one
bed, without applying any mud around the
plants. In this condition, we left Il tor
about week at the expiration of which
time, the grubs had eaten down almost ev-
cry plant to the root. This led we again
transplanted, taking the caution to apply the
mud as around tine other plants not one
of them is destroyed; and they continue
to grow as luxurantly as any plants we ever
saw.
1t is the custom Of some of our planters
of the sea-coast, to soak their cotton seed
in salt water previous to planting. They
say, it prevents worms and insects from
attacking the plants when young. But, of
the truth of his, we can say nothing prac.
ticallv.

sPectablly ola married lady, and il some
times occasions surmiscs nowise credtabIe
to the female character. Indeed, you ought,
by consulting your husbands wishes in this
respect, to leave hm not a doubt that your
dress is fashioned to meet his appreciation
more than to attract the gaze, or gain the
admiration of any and every person. l.
may be thought, perhaps, by some, that the
dress of the wife is, 20 he husband, a mat.
ter of very trihing consequence; but rely
upon it, the effect of disregarding his opln-
ion on this subject is not always wholly un-
important.
You have doubtless seen and heard
enough 10 know that nothing shor; Of crime
more lmpairs the responsibility Of 4 mar
red lady, than ofen being seen at public
places unattended by her husband. Should
yours have no desire 10 be thronged with
company at home, nor disposition to seek
it abroad; or should you unfortunately as
pire 10 live in a style inconslstant with his
feelings or resources, have already said
enough to show you that no action ofyours,
savoring of opposition-no look soured
with disappointment, nor expression t'nc-
tured with reproach, will dispose him the
more to CRAFTY your wishes. That such
means canno. succeed with man Of sense
and spirit, is as obvious as the indlscrctlon
through which they are adopted.
"Abrupt contradiction of any one, tho
sometimes the effect Of an unguarded mo-
ment, IS generally regarded as sure indi-
cation of low vulgar breeding, but such
conduct in a wife towards husband sell
dom fails to render him ridiculous, and her
contemplate in the estimation of all who
may happen 10 witness such an instance OF
her folly and imprudence. Much of the
responsibility of the wife is reflected from
the husband; and when she, by her nd's-
cretion, lessons his, she is sure to sink her
own in public estimation.
"To conclude: | have voluntarily, and
perhaps oficiously, offered you my coun-
sci, and the best my judgement can afford.
My motive is good but it depends on your
self whether or not it will be useful TO you.
But keep this letter by you, and if, at the
end of three or four years, you shall think
yourself not benefited by its contents, you

Great Discoreryin Surgery.-An article
has appeared in one of the Wall.street,
journals (thc express) by which it seems
there is some hope that the consumption
may be cured by surgical means. The
surgeon who makes this communication,
purposes to cure the consumption (in any
case where ones lung'sis af1ected) in the
following manner:-An incision is made
between the ribs, and an or'fce opened
to admit the air into the chest outside of
ne diseased lung-so that no air, will be
drawn into that lung through the wlndpipe
a, all. The lung will collapse, and remain
perfectly quiescent and in that state can be
cured by the efforts Of nature alone, or
removed altogether. AS there is parti-
ton between the sides Of the lungs, while
one of them ceases its action, the other
goes on with its ordinary functions. The
operation is neither difficult nor painful,
and may be performed upon a person in
the last stages of consumption, without
danger-as a person in that state would
bear the operation better than one in 70.
bust health. The plan appers to be feast
bic, from the very fact that nature does
sometimes effect a cure by the very same
process drying up one lung) and it is the
only method by which cure is ever ef1ec-
ted. If this plan succeeds it will be the
greatest discovery in the art Of healing, in
modern times.
