An Odd Remedy,

The following is from the New York Organ.--
1t illustrates the terrible power of appetite, and
the saluary influence Of fear. 1t may serve as an
additional Warning to him who is in danger from
the intoxicating cup, and lead him to adopt that
safe rule, touch not, taste not, handle not.'
We remember an individual that resided in this
city not many years ago, who owned considera-
bic amount Of property, but who was so much adj
dicted to the use of strong drink, that his friends
arranged matters in such way as to prevent its
being squandered, by removing it from his reach;
and after taking care that he was well provided
with the necessaries Of lite, allowed certain sum
each day for spending money. As he grew older
his appetite grew stronger and his daily allowance
was not sufficient to crafty his increasing thirst
He would go to his friends and plead for IN houi
at a time for little more of the ready, but they
were nexorabIe. At length they told him to go tc
a certain physician, (who was intimately acquaint
ed with the famiy,) and probably he would loan
him what he so much desired. The poor fellow
went to the doctor and asked him for the favor.
'L'lf tell what will do said the medical man
j will buy your carcase at a fair price-come
what will you take for III
Five dollars
Let me feel your pulse said the physician
grasping the poor fellow by the wrist and boxing
him steadlastlyin the eyes. Ah that will do
here's the money! continuel.he, handing the so
a five dollar bank note. 'And now, go to the run

Our GrandmOther's Music.
BY sTERNE.

"Thy grandmother" said uncle Toby, address,
ing himself to young ArabelIa, just from London,
and who was playing the battle of Marengp on
the piano. "thy grandmother, child" said he.
FUSED to play on a much better instruments than
thine"
I" Indeed," said ArabelIa, chow could it have
been better? you know it is the most fashionable
instruments and it is used by every body that is
any thing"
Your grandmother was something, yet she
never saw piano forte"
''But what was the name of this instrument
had it strings, or was it played by keys"
" You must give me time to recollect the name;
it was indeed a strnged instrument, but was play
ed by the hand"
"By the hand alone? How vulgar; but pro-
test should like to see one, and papa shall buy
i. me one when return to London. Do you think
we can obtain one?"
" No, you will not find one in London, but
doubtless they may be found in some of the coun-
try towns.''
Chow many strings had 1t? Must one play
with both hands? and could one play double
bass?"
81 know not whether it could play double bass,
as you call it; it was played by both hands.and
two strings"
Two strings only? surely you are testing, how
could music be produced by such an instrument
when the piano has two or three hundred!''
Oh, the strings were very long, one about
fourteen feet, and the other might be heightened
at pleasure, even fifty or more"
what prodigious deal of room it must take
up; but no matter, will have mine in the ole
hall, and papa may have an addition built 10 it
for ne says shall not want for any thing, and Sc

mallets, like the piano, or were they snapped, like

How TO DIE AN EASY DEATH. great many
essays have been written on the easiest mode of
bringing to an end this animal life of ours One is
in favor of hanging, another of drowning, and a
third thinks bullet through the heart will pro-
duce the least suffering. But we have an easier
road to death than either. Although the object
may not he so soon accomplished, still it is as eff
fectual; for thousands have tried tive will give
you the recipe. Take several strong cords-tast-
EN- them around the waist as tight as you can bear
it, and let them remain day or two. Gradually
tighten the cords, and persevere, until your body
has the appearance of an hour glass Your health
will. gradually decline; you cannot endure work;
and will probably have the dyspepsia, liver com
plant, and be exceedingly troubled with nervous
ness. No matter; the work of death will be grad
ualJy going on, and before many months consump-
ton will be seated, and you will die so easy Q
DEATH thatyour parting breath will be hardly per-
ceptbe. If, however, you wish to commit sui
eide in shorter time, wear thin shoes and muslin
dresses, in cold and damp weather, We have
never known this recipe to fail; and it has beer
tried in a thousand nstances,-Por!Iand Tribune

Purchasing Butter.

{ Is your butter good?' said to the farmer,
Good my wife has made butter these twenty
years. and should think she ought to know how
to make good butter by this time
He was evidently offended.
"WeA, let us examine it, The cover was ia
ken off the tub, the clean white cloth, (Which had
been wet in brine) rolled up, and the yellow treas
IRE revealed. 1t certainly did look good.
1t tastes sweet; but how very salt it is
1--WE always make our butter salt to have il
keep at this season.
Let US see if the buttermk is as we'll worked
out as the saltis in.''.
Some of the rollswe pressed down with the
ladle.
Now, my friend, your wife has made butter
these twenty years, she does not'know how tc
make good butter; for no butter can be good unit
all the buttermlk is worked out. If that is done
you need not salt it so much to have it keep wei
in any place. A very little more care and labor
would have made this excellent butter; but lack
ing that little, it is only second quality-as yor
shall acknowledge when show a sample of GOOD
butter.'
| We went in, and took up a roll from crock
of first rate butter. 1t was smooth clear, anC
handsome; the hand of woman had not been OF
it, from the time it left the churn until now: al
the work had been done with ade.
| IF you will get one drop of buttermilk from
that butter, you shall have the whole Free
Now taste this, and taste your own, and say
honestly, ifyod would not give higher price 70
this than your own. Look at it-see how clea
and transparent these minute gobules are anC
how intimately they are blended with the whole
mass. Until those all disappear the butter will
keep sweet; and no butter will keep long whe
they are ever SO slightly colored by the milk
The farmer simply remarked, that there was
difference in butter, and left, to find less critica
or more ready customer.
it is strange, that when every body loves goo
butter and is willing to pay for it, our farmer
wives and daughters do not take pains to make
better article. It's the .womans fault that we hav

An Affecting Scene.

The New Haven Courier relates the following
Incident
In lawyers Office in remote part fthis state,
lay a mortgage for eleven hundred dollars which
was within a few days of being due. One morn
ing the man on whose place the mortgage was held
called and enquired if the payment could not be
put off short time. He was a man somewhat
advanced in life, and very Incorporate. The law
yer in reply to his inquiries, said that the man
who held the mortgage wanted his monPy-that
he was sorry, but it could not be extended. The
tears came to the old mans eyes, and after stand
ing few moments, perfect image of despair, he
turned and left the office. He returned home, be-
lievng that in a few short days his aged and in
firm wife and invalid daughter would have to quit
the roof which had so long sheltered them, and
seek for home he knew not where.
| He could say nothing to them about it, it would
cause them so much grief The mortgage became
due, and in the morning early the farmer again
repaired to the lawyers office. He pleaded foi
time, but to no purpose. Overcome with emo
ton, the old man sank into a chair, and there sal
for two hours, apparently unconscious ofany thing
that was passing around him, when a carriage
drove up to the door, and lady stepped from it
She entered the office. After standing few mo-
ments cycling the old man with interest and emo
ton, she spoke. The old man looked up.
Father, how do you do''
'Oh! Sarah, am well, but sad. | am glad tC
see you, but sorry Cor your aged mother and in,
valid sister. cannot return to them: for it vii
be to tell them they have no home, and this can
not bear. 1t will kill your poor MOTHER
Father! Father!' said the daughter, could yol
live a temperate man, if this were paid?
'Yes! oh, yes, would; but it ca mot be, for
have nothing to pay it with
Now sign the pledge, and here is the money!
The old man put his name to the redeening, thu
saving pledge, and departed to his home with
happy heart.

From the Christian Register.
The DYING Wife.

saw young and lovely wife,
Stretched on bed of pain and death,
Waiting to yield him up he life
Who filled her frame with mortal breath.
Beside her sat with aching brow
The sharer of her youthful heart;
Oh, will there nought console him now,
When she he loves must soon depart?
o yes, for hear them speaking now
OF that best world beyond the grave,
For they are taught with Christ to bow,
Ard hope through him their souls to save.
| go, dear husband, where the stream
Of heavenly pleasures gently flow,
Where the bIest light of glory beams,
Surprising all things here below.
thank thee for the many hours
Ofhappiness almost divine,
Which DER me fell like summer showers,
From the pure gushing heart of thine.
And if to parted souls are given
The bIest employ to hover near,
And guide the loved ones up to heaven
Till thou art laid upon thy bier,
Will | thy guardian angel be,
To guide thee through life's weary road,
From every snare to set thee free,
And lead thee upward to thy God.
She ceased; she felt that death was nigh,
To touch her with his icy wand
She heard her husbands heart-drawn sigh,
And felt the tremor of his hand.
Then giving him one look of love,
And bidding him in Christ to trust,
Her spirit fled to worlds above,
And left him weeping DER her dust.

The Free.

The wild streams leap with headlong sweep
In their curbless course DER the mountain steep;
All fresh and strong they foam along
Waking the rocks with their cataract song.
NV eye bears glance like the beam on lance,
burn with glee, for | love to see
The path of any thing that's free.
The sky lark springs with dew on his wings,
And UP in the arch of heaven he sings
Trill-la, tri-la-oh, sweeter far
Than the notes that come through golden bar,
The joyous bay OF hound at play,
The cav of rock on its homeward way,
Oh, these shall be the music for me-,
For love the voices of the free.
The deer starts by with his antlers high,
Proudly tossing his head to the sky;
The barb runs the plain unbroke by the rein,
With streaming nostrils and flying name;
The clouds are strr'd by the eaglet bird,
AS the flap of its swoopng pinion is heard.
Oh! these shall be the creatures for me,
For my soul was form'd to love the free.
The mariner brave, in his bark on the wave,
May laugh at the walls round kingIy stare;
And the one whose lot is the desert spot
Has no dread of envious foe in his cot.
The thral and state at the palace gate
Are what my spirit has learnt to hate:
Oh! the hills shall be home for me,
For I'd leave throne for the hut Of the free.

truth AND LovE.-I am sure truth never lost
any thing for being spoken in love; am of opin-
ION that u principal reason why we are not more of
one mind, is that we are not more of one heart.
How soon they who feel heart to heart, begin to
see eye to eye! the way to think alike is first to
feel alike; and if feeling be love, the thought
will be truth. wish, therefore, for the sake of
sound doctrine, that the brethren would love one
another.
