HOME AFFECTIONS.

The heart has memories that cannot
die. The rough rubs of the world can
| not obllterate them. They are mem
ores ofhome-early home. There is
magic in the very sound. There is
the old tree under which the light hear
ted boy swung on many summer day
-yonder the river in which he learned
to swim there the house in which he
knew parents love, and found a pa
rents protection! Now there is the
room in which he romped with brother
or sister-lohg since, alas! laid in the
grave, TO which he must soon be gath
cred, overshadowed by yon old church,
whittier with joyous troop like him
self he has often followed his parents to
worship with and hear the good old
man who gave him to God in baptism.
Why even the school house, associated
in youthful days with thoughts of ferule
and task, how comes back to bring
pleasant remembrance of many an at
tachment there formed-many an occa-
sion that called forth generous exhibi
tons of the traits Of human nature
There he learned some of his hearts
best emotions. There, perchance, he
first met the being, who, by her love
and tenderness in after life, has made
home happier even than that which his
childhood knew. There are certain
feelings Of humanity-and those, too,
among the best-that can find and an
appropriate place for their exercise on
ly by ones own freside. There is
sacredness in the privacy of the spot,
which it were species of dissertation
to violate. He who seeks wantonly to
invade it, is neither more nor less than
a william; and hence there exists no su-
rer test of debasement or morals in a
community, than the disposition to toll
crate, III any mode, the man who disre-
CARDS the sanctities Of private life. In
the turmoils of the world, let there be
at least one spot where the poor man
may find affection that is disinterestedi
where he may indulge confidence that
is not likely to be abused!

The Duel.-We stated on Saturday,
on the authority of the Norfolk Herald,
that John Tyler, jr., and Hugh R.
Peasants, junior editor of the Rich
mond Wing, had gone into North Car
DINA for the purpose of fighting du-
ell. II appears that the day and hour
were appointed, and the Portsmouth
Index says Mr.. Tyler duly arrived on
the ground with his second, and after
waiting a considerable time for his adj
versary, was about preparing to retire,
when messenger arrived stating that
Mr.. peasants was at the house of Mrs.
Dupre, about twelve miles off, "roar-
ing crazy with the mania potu;; :"
and that as he had not been aware of
the time agreed on by his second, he,
the said second, would meet NJ, Ty-
Ter if he would wait. Mr.. Tyler, how
ever, being satisfied that he had full
filled his part of the contract, immedi-
ately returned to Washington.

EHHE most popular remedies of the pres
! Il ent day are those Which cleanse and pl.r.
! fly the blood, and which are known to be in.
nocent in their qualities. Such remedies as
Anthony, Mercury, Zinc, and the having re-
course t. Bleeding in diseases, are now, it is
hoped gone oft of fashion. and Vegetable
Remedies will be soon the popular medicine.
! Then Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills
will be used and appreciated. They are
known to act benefcially on euerv part of the
body; being taken up by the chyIe they pass
into the blood, which they purify; and it
should he remembered that they oniy remove
those parts from the blood which were the
cause of inflammation or disease of ally kind.
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vtiated hu
mors with vegetable medicine of this kind i,
which eighty four years have proved never to
do INJURY, but always good.
IT IMPURITY OF BLOOD causes pain
and occasions disease upon that part of the
body which from any cause may be weakest
Thus in persons whose blood is impure, should
they have cold, the impure matter would
settle upon their lungs, and consumption be
the trouble; SO with other affections. All
trouble is saved by using the BRANDRETH
PILLS, which cannot iniure, and which can
mencement of any disease, use them in full
doses and you will be up and well, while
those who are too wise to take such simple
medicine, are bed ridden, or premuturely end
their days. The Brandreth Pills are only be-
ginning to be appreciated; they are found to
never deceive; they are the only internal
medicine required i'll this climate.
Be careful of pretended universal purgatives,
i to h.
body as Brandreth's Pills can. What are
theyl Are they not limitations of the Bran
dreth Pills recommended in advertisements
stolen from DR.. Brandreth' Were they not
originally counterfeit pills purpofting to be
the genuine Brandreth Pills. But in conse-
quence of the new labels on the Brandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out I'm
der other colors equally false Observe the
makers and travelling agents Are they not
men whom DR.. Brandreth hath cast OFT. not
for good conduct truly? Is not this true as
applicable to the pretended Lldian," and in
fact, to nearly all the advertised pills OF the
day? Shall the public trust their lives in the
hands OF these unprincipled mem Surely
not.
The Brandreth Pills giUe strenM for weak
| ness-they are liked best by those who have
taken the most of them. DR.. Rrandreth can
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from bed ofsickness by their
use, when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavailing. These cases are continual
ly occurring in this city and in every part of
the Union. Get Brandreth's Pills if you are
not perfectly healthy, and they will restore
u-ifmedicine can do it-because they ex-
pei those humors which are the cause OF i'm
purity Of the blood. and at the same time the
body is strengthened by the operation of this
most excellent medicine.

ing business, and to commence with the above
date to sell goods for cash or to punctual GUS
toners on siT months time-and in selling to
such at six months, we charge the same pri>
ces as if the cash we've paid down. AT the
nme of purchasing, persons buying goods on
SIX months time and at cash prices, must be
punctual in paying, or we charge our usual
profits. We deem this method of doing bust.
ness necessary, owing to the exigencies of the
times, and have 10 doubt it will meet the
views of all those who expect 10 pay for
goods-and in adopting this method of doing
business, ne are determined not to be undersold.
Persons wishing to purchase goods,wil please
call and test the fact. Our stock of goods is

W,sferies efGa0eblino.-Some di:

Mysteries Of Gambling Some dis
coyeries, recently made in house &C.
cupied by gamblers in Baltimore, show
that the game ofchance is sometimes
reduced to certainty by its professors.
On investigating the place, it was
discovered that hole had been very in
geniously perforated through the cen
tire of the floor, above where the card
table stood. A telegraphie wire was
placed in the vicinity of this, which is
attached toa tasset or signal in the
gaming room. The presumption is
BY those who have examined the prem
Uses, that a person was stationed above
who looked through the ori6ce men,
toned, and when he discovered the
state of the different hands, number of
trumps, sc. gavehis colleagues a sig
nal, by which they understood precise
ly how to play and how to win their
adversaries' money.
A similar continuance was discover
ed in hotel in that city, a few years
since, on its changing hands and I'M
dergoing repairs.

A VARIETY FOR FARMERS.
w. 4. S.

From the Fifth Annual Report Of
the Commissioner of Patents, we gath
er the following facts which will prove
interesting to the Farmer and gen
eral readers -
The Sun flower and Pulana Christi,
the Bene Plant, Rape and Poppy have
been mentioned as useful for the pro
duction ofoil. The Sun flower, accor-
ding to Veit, stands first in the ptoduc-
lion of oil, and gives so pounds of oil
to 100 pounds of seed. Next is the
Poppy, which gives 81 pounds, then
rape seed Sc pounds, radish seeds 81
pounds, mustard 80 pounds, gold of
pleasure pounds, faxseed pounds,
hemp 90 pounds.
The advantages of the Sun-Aower
are that the seed is good for oil, the re-
fuse for cattle, the leaf may be manu-
featured into cigars of powerful pecto-
raj qualities, the stock affords sape
rior alkali, and the comb or flaments
of the seed are an excellent food for
hogs.
Mustard may also be cultivated with
advantage, as large quantities of its
seed and flowers are annually imported
from abroad. 1t is said to yield 30
bushels to the acre, and to sell at So
bushel; in Albany $3.50 are paid for
the black. The white is somewhat
less.
Of all that relates to the various
Chemical compositions to be used as a
manure, we say nothing, as the books
of Liebig and others contain probably
all that is as yet known upon this inter
esting subject.
The Catalpa tree is said, upon the
authority of the late President Harrison
to be more durable than the Locust Or
Mulberry, and gilmore rapid growth.
Apples have been exported to Eng
land, and Peaches and Strawberries
preserved in ice have been sent off in
large quantities. Boxes of the latter
sent to the West Indies, when opened
were found as fresh as when first gath
cred.
Vast quantities Of eggs have been
exported. The number consumed in
France is said to exceed 725,00o,000
of which Paris uses 100, 0,000.-
Reaumer latter variety of experiments,
found out that the cheapest and best
way to preserve them is by an appli-
cation of grease and oil. Another
mode recommended in England is to
take a bushel of quick lime, thirty-two
ounces of salt, and eight ounces Of
cream of tartar--mix the salt with
as much wateras will reduce the com
position to a consistency SO that SO
that an egg when putt in will swim
In this composition the egg is to be
dipped and suffered afterwards to dry.
Lard ard Lard Oa.-It could
scarcely be imagined when this pro-
duct was first spoken Of that in two
wears the business would have extern
ded so widely. The amount OF Lard
worked up during the last two years in
the neighborhood of Cleveland alone IS
$50 tons, $50 more than IN the year
Before.
By experiments lately tried in Phil
adelnhia at the Franklin Institute with
Gornelius' Lard Lamp, it is found that
one pound Of Lard yields an amount OF
lioht equal to one pint of the best
Snerm oil. The experiment may be
relied on, having been made with the
