A REMEDY FOR CANcERs.-Coonel
Ussey, of the parish of De Soto, informs
he editor of the Caddo Gazette that he
has fully tested remedy for this trouble
some disease, recommended TO HIM by
Spanish woman, native OF the country.
The remedy is this: Take an egg and
break it; then pour out the white, retain.
ing the yek in the shell, put in salt and
mix with the yelk as long as it will re-
ceve it; stir them together until the salve
is formed; put portion of this on stick
ing plaster, and apply it TO the cancer
about twice day. He has made the
experiment in Two instances in his own
family with complete success. We can
place little confidence in the efficacy of
the application suggested, but the bare
possibility Of its being Of any value os a
remedy for one of the mos, formidable
diseases to which humanity is subject, in.
duces us to transfer the statement to our
columns.

From an Eagiish Paper.
IN PRAISE OF THE GOOD OLD
PLOUGH.

T.
lie, them sing who may Of the battle trays,
And the deeds that have long since past
Let them chant in praise Of the tsr whose days
Are spent on the ocean vast
would rerder to these all the worship you please,
would honor them now.
But Id give far more from MY hearts full store
To the cause of the Good Old Plough,
III.
Let them lsUd the notes, that in music floats
Through their bright and their gttering halls;
While the smoIous twir Of the hairs bright curl
Round the shoulder Of Beauty falIs
But dearer to me is the song from the tree,
And the rich and The blossoming bought
Oh! these are the sweets which the rustic greets
As he follows the Good Old Plough.
Then how jocund the song as it comes along
From the ploughman's lusty throat;
Did the hunters shout, ever yet give out
To the brown woods a merrer note
Though he follows no hound, yet his day is crowned
With triumph good, | trow,
As though anilered head at his feet lay dead,
Instead of the Good Old Plough.
w.
Full many there be that we daily see
With selfish and hollow pride,
Whom the ploughman' lot, in his humble cot,
With a scornful look deride
Yet I'd rather take, aye, hearty shake
From his hand, than to wealth Id bow;
For the honest grasp Of that hands rough clasp
Hath stood by the Good Old Plough.
".
All honor be then to these grey old men,
When at last they are bowed with toll;
Their warfare then DER, why they battle no more
For they've conquered the stubborn soil.
And the chaplet each wears his silver hairs,
And ne'er shall the victor's brow
With a laureei crown to the grave go down,
Like these sons OF the Good Old Plough

FROM the UeTWuH OF LtCHUeW.
A man who had gone over great part
Of the world returned at length home from
his travels, his friends came and requested
him to relate what he had seen. Listen, "
said he,-"eIeven hundred miles beyond
the country Of the Hurons, there are men
whom thought very strange; they ire

lightenings might fash around them; two
armies might be engaged in battle, even
the sky might threaten to crush them in It's
fall, they would remain unmoved on their
seats, for they are deaf and dumb. Yet
now and then there escapes from their lips
a half broken, unconnected, and unmean-
ing sound; and they horribly roll their
eyes at the same time. | often stood
looking at them with asonishment, for
when such slttings take place, people fire.
quontly go to witness them. Believe me,
brethren, shall never forget the horrible
contor,ons which | there saw. Despair,
fury, malicious Joy, and anguish, were
by turns visible in their countenances.
Their rage, assure you, appeared TO me
that of the furies-their gravity that OF
the Judges of bell-and their anguish that
of malefactors." "But what was their
obiect?" asked his friends. "They attend
perhaps to the welfare of the communi-
