NIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Tenn
perance Lecturer, attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter of 1871. lie
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resoIted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant so that he could get little or no
sleep-attended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms Of
Consumption. While at Rome, N " he felt that
his end was nigh--that in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Proyidentially, lady
who visited him advised a trial of DR. Shermans
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and got a
box. and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before BY the
time he had taken one small box, he able to
start for the city of New York and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to DIR Sherman's LoZenges

THAT RAILROAD

We clip the following from the Kanawha Re
publican. Those documents" we have no man
ner of doubt, would be well worth seeing:
WESTERN VIRGINIA LArps.-Ihe Philadel-
phia Y. S. Gazette says
Among the items Of NEWS brought by the last
British Steamship was an announcement that Mr..
Rawlings Of New York, had arrived in London.
Tor the purpose of establishing there agency for
the sale of nine hundred thousand acres OF land, a
great portion of which was located in Western Viz
ginia."
We wish we could just have peep at the doc
nments and maps that this Mr.. Rawlings is ex-
iubtng In London to induce the John Bulls to buy
his lands. Among the former, we have not an
earthly doubt, we should find a copy OF the char
ter of the Richmond and Ohio Railroad Company,
passed by the Legislature of Virginia, at its last
session, and among the latter, a map Of the lands
In Western Virginia, with the route of the said
railroad laid down very conspicuoisly as runring
directly through them.

VIRGINIA VOLUNTEERS.

The Enquirer announces that the following com
panies have been enrolled, under the requistion OF
the President upon the Governor of Virginia, for
three regiments of volunteers ID companies of In
iantry, D companies of Riilemen, companies of Ar
nliery, and company OF Artillery for garrison ser
vice IN the State--in all about 1900 men-the Ar
tiiiery and kiemen to as Infantry if reouir-
Ell. Numerous individual tenders of service have
aiSo Deen made-among them many officers of huh
rank, ana graduates both of the u. S. Military
academy and OF the Virginia Military Institute
1hat the full number required has not been enroll
ed is doubtless owing to the unce-taintv which
lists whether their services will be required Men.
IN active employment, Garnet be expected TO aban-
don their business engagements, many OF them
would be required to do, and as some have done, TO
form companies which may never be called into ser
vice. Whenever the word shall be given to march
to the field, Virginia will furnish all the men that
may be required. The Enquirer adds
1--WE learn that the Governor, understanding that
1t Will be acceptable to the War Department. has
determined to substitute a Rifle Regiment for one
OF the Regiments required. The skill of many of
our people particularly in the West which is all
in motion,) in the of the rifle, will enable him
to send into the field as fine body of marksmcn as
the world affords
"The whole force now enrolled ard probably
ten or twenty times as many MORE are eager for
immediate service. But the States nearer to
the seat of have already sent large force into
the field, and the climate at this season might be
fatal to our people, we learn that the Governor has
called upon the Secretary of War to know whether

Fortress Monroe. We threw out this idea soon af-
ter the declaration of war, and still more for
chilly impressed with the fact, that it presents IA
vorable opportunity for preparatory course of train
ing, which would enable them to take the field with
greater advantage; at a more advanced season. In
case the suggestion Of the Governor should meet the
appreciation of the Secretary of War, understand
that the Governor is authorised to present the claims
OF Captain Carrington's Company ofInfantry which
was organized in this city in advance of the requisi
ton, and is fully equipped for service."-Whig.

wnEAT-GRowERs AND FREE TRADE,

The New York Journal Of Commerce, which
seems to be indscreet in unmasking the probable
effects of Free Trade, if not the designs of tho
Free Trader, says:
"a gentleman who has just been to Michigan
and back says that in the whole journey he has
been in but three showers He SAYS too, that the
wheat in Michigan is superb; and every body in
high spirits, with the intention of being perfectly
satisfied at thirty seven and half cents bushel"
AS the n. Y. Tribune well remarks, upon this
paragraph, 'this is not the entertainment to which
we Were invited" If such is to Bn the effect of
the repeal of The British Corn Laws on the one
hand. and of the destruction of our otsn jdicios
tariff on the other, the wheagrowers may well be-
gin to dread the approach OF free trade and hard
money prices for the produce of his soil 81 cents

CONVERTING vEGETABLE-M INTO
MANURE

The following method, for converting leaves and
other vegetable substances into manure; was COM
nunicated-some years since by II. Browne; ESQ;
distinguished chemist to the 'sSociety for the En-
enlargement Of Arts,'' &c. Mr.. Browne stated
that from numerous experiments, made for a number
OF years m succession, by himself and friends, the
utility OF the composition, as well as its cheapness
and durability, had been fully aud permanently es-
tabshed. Ii can be manutactnred'ip any situation
Is rs simple can reasonably We expected. or s1e
sired. The following is the nod,ts operandi to be
pursued:
Upon layer of vegetable matter, about foot
thick, very 6nin layer of lime beat small is to be-
laid and 50 on, vegetable matter then lime, alter
nately. After they have been put together few
hours, the decomposition will begin To take place.. I
and unless prevented by few sods, or a fork full
OF vegetables at hand, the mixture viii break out
INTO blaze, which must, at all events be avoided.
IN about twenty -four hours the process Will DO od-
piete, and You will have quantity of ashes to lay
OH your land at any time you wish. Any, and all
sorts OF vegetables, and weeds OF EVERY descrip-
ton, 1t used green will answer the purpose. They
Will doubly serve the farmer as he will not ONLY

noisome weeds. Mr.. u. states That he made call
oalaton with clover, grown for the purpose, and
That one acre, at single cutting when decomposed
by the above process yielded a sufficient quantity
IF ashes to manure four acres. He states that the
vegetables should be used as soon after they are cut
rs possible, and the lime as fresh from the kiln IN
the distance will allow IT appears that on these
Two circumstances mainly depends the goodness Of

arther experiments and we should be happy to
to the public the result of any trial
made for the purpose Of testing its utility"

Who shall say that public life
Is nothing but discordant strife ?
And he whose heart is tuned to love,
Tender end gentle as the dove,
Must whct his talons, night and day,
For conflicts with the birds of prey
This world is fashioned, Lady fair
OF Joy and Sorrow, Ease and Care,
OF sudden changes, small and greats
or upward and Of downward fate
And whose bends his mood to trace,
The annals Of mans fallen race,
May sigh to find that natures plan
Is ruthless war from man to man.
But nature cruel to be kind,
Not TO war only man consigned
But gave him woman on the spot,
To mingle pleasure in his lot,
That il with man war cannot cease,
With woman reigns eternal peace.
Fair Lady have lived OH earth
Near fourscorc Summers from my birth;
And half the sorrows have felt
Have by my brother man been dealt
And all the ills have endured
BY man inflicted, woman cured
The glove from man to man thou know'st,
OF fierce defiance is the boast;
And cast in anger the floor,
To mortal combat shows the door
But gloves from woman's gentle hand,
Of cordial Friendship bear the wand;
And in return single glove
Betokcns cmblcmatic Love.
Thy gift fair Ellen then take,
And cherish for the gvcr's sake;
And while they shelter from the storm
My hands, the heart alike shall warm
And speed for thee to God above,
The fervid prayer of faithful love-
