To PreSc, Uc Green COyn.--For those
who are fond of green corn, and desire
to have it fresh at all seasons, we give
the following recipe from the Franklin
Banner. "Pack the corn down in clean
tight casks, with a pickle sufficiently
strong to preserve cucumbers. 1t
should be put down in the husks, and
kept secluded from the air by the
brine. SO as to prevent fermentation or
decomposition. Corn thus prepared, =,
it is said, will keep for any length Of
time, and will be sufficiently fresh for
the table when boiled"

SHAKING A JURY.

A correspondent of the New York
Express, has the subjoined amusing ste,
ry:
ssIowa is now the fines frontier couu-
try in the West, and is settling up very
fast. Judge Williams related to me
some amusing scenes that he witnessed
when he first started on his circuit, for
the purpose Of organizing and holding
bis first courts am mong the rude frontier
people. ln many counties they had
not time to erect any kind of a shelter
for court house. The best provision
which could be made, was tolorm seats
oflogs beneath the shade Of large
tree, with raised seat near its body for
the Judge. The Sheriff would open
court by mounting stump, or mound,
near by, and crying 'Oh yes, oh yes,'&
announcing 10 the whole universe that

proprietor has never known an instance where they
did not give perfect satisfaction. Several thousand
boxes have been sold within the last year, restoring
10 health persons in almost every stage OF consump-
tion, and those aboring under the most distressing
colds and coughs.
Jonathan HoWarth, esq the well known temper
ance lecturer, took severe cold last January by
sleeping in damp sheets that seemed to have settled
IN consumption. He raised good deal of bloody
matter, and his cough was so harrassng and inces-
SAINT that he could get rest by day or night. AT
fer irving various remedies without relief, he tho't
that death alone would relieve him of his misery.
But by the advice of lady he purchased a box of
Sherman's Cuugh Lozenges; they gave him great
relief, and to his surprise alayed his cough, made
him rest easy, aud enabled him to sleep sound all
night; three days use of them made new man OF
him, and he is recommending Sherman'S Lozenges

men.-My wife has been afflicted with worms from
the age of three years, and has never been without
them. She resided at Middetown, Butler county.
At times, she has been so afflicted with worms as
to require the attendance Of two of the best phys-
clans in the place-one doctoring her for one COM
pIailt and one for another, but getting worse, she
removed to Madison, and was under the hands Of
two of the most celebrated physicians of that place,
but all did her no good She came to Cincinnati
some time since, and began to despair of getting
better: indeed she got so bad, the worms came up
in her throat-her sufierings became almost intoler-
able. Hearing of the many cures performed by
Sherman's Lozcnges, she thought she would try
them last August. | stepped in your store ard got

bunch. The last dose brought several white worms,

get well and felt better than she had for years Be-

neighbor by the name of Herald, who lives short
distance from us who has two chilcren, one five and

COME OUT TO THE WEST.

Come forth from your cities
Come out to the West!
Ye have hearts, ye have hands;
Leave to nature the rest:
The prairie, the forest,
The stream of command
"The world is too crowded pshaw
Come and take land.
Not only that labor
Reward may not find;
IT'S the curse of distinctions
That curbeth the mind;
IT'S the lack Of the sunrise,
The breeze ofthe hill;
The glorious thought
"'Tis my own land | till!'
Disease in It's garret,
Dim cellars of crime;
Corruption's foul alleys,
Theft, famine and slime;
Oh, linger not poor man
Fly swiftly and far;
Oh caves of the desert
Thrice happy we are!
Come, travel the mountain,
And paddle the stream;
The cabin shall smile, and
The corn-patch shall CLEAN;
ga wife and six children
IT'S wealth in your hand!
Your axe and your rifle--out
West and take land.

brought the bushes to the cheeks Of
the beautiful colloquist, and made her
retreat a step or two from him, 'as we
have been associates from childhood,

intimacy, that we should be mutually
conducive to each others happiness.'
Certainly returned the lady almost
breathless with surprise. Il trust that
we shall never cease TO be friends
