From a Glasgow paper just received, l
extract the following letter from onr friend
Henry c. Wright giving some brief de,
scription of the treatment of the celebrated
German Peasant of his patients There
is undoubtedly some exaggeration and
humbug about even the cold water cure.
Mankind have been bamboozled so long,
that thew are incapable now Of any treat
ment of which humbug does not form
some part If you do not mingle some
aIiquot parts of delusion in the potion, the
patient can scarcely be made TO drink it,
But verify believe that cold water is no;
altogether a cheat Providence is nc

of this fluid lis pretty good evidence thai
Providence recommends it, and that there
is something of the real blessing about IT,

N THE DEATH OF MRS. c. sIMoNs, A MISSIONARY,
Beloved sister! while this region cold
Thy pilgrim feet on mercy's errand trod,
So deep was thy devotion to thy God,
So warm the love thy every action told,
We deemed thee formed of a celestial mould,
And wondered thou should'st need thy Fa-
theirs rod,
To wean thy spirit from this earthly clod;
Yet many wave of sorrow DER thee rolled,
But now no longer DER thy griefs we'll sigh
Since thou art gathered TO the glorious fold,
Where the kind Shepherd wipeth every eye;
And, radiant there with Immortality,
His lovely face thou ever dost behold
And with the pure and perfect, walk the streets
ofgod. NIB.

AspARAGUs.-How many OF our rea-

invite to make the following experiment
and if success warrants lberality, we
would thank them for dish of large, per-
fectly white, aud very tender asparagus.
AS soon as the young shoot springs
from the ground, take piece of hollow
reed, cane, or elder, or tin tube, about
eight inches long and of sufficient bore.
and suck it into the soil above the shoot.

much the bigger and better will be the

INTERESTING TO OLD PEOPLE AND
OTHERS, WITH WEAK EYES. We find
in an old paper the following course of
proceedings recommended to aged people,
as the means of enabling them to preserve
their eye.sight, or 10 recover it after /! has
failed
Every morning, when washing your.
self, dip your face under the water, open
your eyes and keep them under water, as
long as you can hold your breath. This
strengthens the eye and cleanses it from
the rheum which deadens the sight and
considerably affects the ball. A gentle
man in Maryland, by the name Of James
Calder, after using spectacles for twenty
five years, followed this plan, and at the
age Of 70 recovered his sight so as to see
without them. Dipping the crown OF the
head into cold water every morning, both
winter and summer, is a preventative
against the head and ear-ache, and will
materially assist the other operation, in It's
