Warm and Cold Baths.-On the health.
fulness of warm bathing there eau be no
doubt; indeed, ii is astonishing that it is
not more generally known and practised,
that a clean and healthy state Of the skin
contributes essentially 10 promote not only
health and checrlulness, bul also longevity;
the light aud agreeable feeling consequent
on the use of warm baths, fully confirms
this-not only from the peculiar softness Of
The skin which is the result Of it, but the
muscles and limbs seem 10 acquire from it
increased elasticity.
Some persons imagine that warm bath
ing exposes those who practice it to ''calch
cold" Nothing can be Earlher from the
fact. Colds are nflener produced by i'm
peded perspiralion. caused by an accumu-
Iatiou Of matter which has filed the pores:
warm bathing opens !liem and promotes IA
free and healthy pcrspiration; aud its re-
petition takes off those impurities which
otherwise attach 10 the persons uf those or
the most healthy hubits, who do not prac-
lice warm bathing.
Cold bathing is quite different Thing /:
with young, Strong and healthy persons, il
is a bracins luxury and an agreeable exer-
else; le sick and weakly should never
practice il except under iIlc instructions of
their medical advisers.

LIFE SAVED BY LAUGHTER.

1.-The health of Marasmus,' says Mr..
Charles Butler, twas always very deli
cate, aud he now began TO feel The iuirlni-
ties of old age. lie was inflicted by an
imposthume, and the worst was feared,
when he was cured of it in an extraordi-
nary manner.
Tie perusal Of the celebrated "Litcrp
Obscunrum Vivorum," threw him into a
fit Of immoderate laughter, the impos-
thume burst, and The patient was cured.
A like tale is told Of DR.. Patrick Scougal,
Scottish Bishop, in the seventeenth CEN
fury. An old woman earnestly besoughl
him to visit her sick COW; the prelate, af-
ter many remonstrances, consented, and
walking round the beast, said gravely, ''if
she live. she live; and il she die she die,
she die, and can do nT mair for her. :"
Not long afterwards he was dangerously
afflicted with quinsy in the throat; the
old woman having got access 10 his cham
bcr, walked round his bed, repeating the
charm which she believed had cured her
COW, whereal The Bishop was seized with
a fit of laughter, which broke tile qunsy,
and saved his lifc.-Itn. Farmer.

The Religious Dereirer.-To the inqui-
", Why must submit my reason and
conscience to you % They reply, we arc
The true Church; and there can be no SAL
vation out Of The true Church. Thus,
they take hold of that elementary fear
which makes man religious animal.
They build their fraud, nDl on the ordinary
principles OF deception, but on that by
which we are prepared for eternity. The
end they propose is Identical with that
which is sought with every olher system
of fraud. Those who Gel rich by quark-
cry in medicine, evade the principles OF
science. and the claims Of beuevolence,
that. appealing TO the fear of disease and
death, they may vend their nos'rums with
pecuniary advantage. The rubher, on The
highway, seizes with open lurpitudc, what
he desires; but others. moi so bold, and
depending less on physical strength. con-
ceal their intentions until their ohiecl has
been gained by the consent Of their vic
Tim. The quack in medicine al!ains this,
by appealing 10 the fear of death, and bo.
dily suffering; but the quack in religion
auains his purpose by appealing 10 the
earolhelI, and the sulferings of ofconscience.
His nuslrums are intended to cure not the
hodv, but the soul. The medical deceiver
says-suhmit 10 me and to my treatment :;
and, Notwithstanding all The results of sci
ence and experience, will secure your
life and healtII; in defiance of nature how
ever, you may provoke her by your daily
impr,dence. The religious tlcceivcr says.
submit to me and TO my treatment; regard
whatever say as true. and nll that | do
as right; and, despite Of all that reason
and experience can say, with all the con-
firmations and truths of Scripture, your
conscience shall be healed. and hell shall
be avoided: whatever the fault or folly Of
YOUR lives. I'm both cases. asn, there is
similar claim to infalibilty and individual
Importance. The medical imposler can
can cure what no other physician can re-
lieue, and he demands reliance on this
osteniatious claim, until his vicIiur'is dead;
but the religious imposter afIirms his ex-
elusive infaIibiity in stronger terms, de-
manding The confidence Of his victim until
the soul is damned.-C. ,Stoyl.

Paint your toOis.-Every farmer should
be provided with small quantity of cuar,

brushes and paint oil. 1t is very easy to
mix them, and by keeping small supply,

would be trilling, and the trouble next to

Nc,c 'eay Of raising Beets.-A writer in
the Farmers Cabinet says that The best
crop of fbeets he ever raised, was in alter
male rows with corn; the corn was full
crop. and he obtained 800 bushels of beels
10 the acre besides. The shade of The
corn seems to be useful in dry weather, as
the bceis with the corn did better than
others in an open patch alongside. This
was practised in Pennsylvania, where it
may be more scccessful than in colder
climates but we would suggest to farmers
who have warm, dry soil, an experiment
on small Yankee Farmer.

FAULTS OF FARMERS.

Judge --, no we give his borrowed
cognolnen, Sam Slick, makes some judi
cious Reflections upon an important sub
iec,, TO which we ask the attention OF all
who are interested in agricultural pursuits.
A very large portion of land in Ameli-
ca has been run out by repeated grain
crops. and bad hushandry, until great
portion of this country is in a fair way to
be ruined. The Two Carolinas and Var
sinny are covered with places That arc run
out and are given up as ruined. and there
are plaeey site TOO many such places all
over New England, and great many
other States. We hav'ut The surplus Of
wheat that we used to have in the United
States. and I'LL never be so plenty while
there arc so many Nick Bradshaws in the
country.
1.-The fact is this, Squire, education is
deucedly neglected. True we have site
of schools and colleges, hu, they AMI The
righ, kind. The same Nick Bradshaw
has been through one on 'en, and twas
there that he arnt that infarnal lazy habit
ofdrinking and smoking, that has been the
ruin of him ever since. I wouldn't give
