CoRREcr SPRAKING.-We advise all
young people 10 acquire in early life the
habit ofusing good language, both speak
ing aid writing, and TO abandon as early
as possible the slang words and phrases.
The longer they live. the more difficult
1.-The acquisition Of such language will be;
and If the golden age Of youth--the
proper season for the acquisition Of such
ianguage-be passed in its abuse, the un-
fortunate victim Of neglected education
is very probably doomed to talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary to pro,
cure this education. Every man has II
in his power. He has merely to use the
language which he reads, instead Of The
|, slang which he hears; to form his taste
! from the popular speakers, writer's and
poets OF the country; to treasure up
choice phrases in hle memory, and hab.
J ~ituate himself to their u~se-avoiding at
The same time that p%edantic precision and
bombast, which bespeaks rather the
weakness Of a vain ambition, than the
! polish Of an educated mind. There is no
man, however low in rank, who may not
E materially benefit his financial condition
by following this advice, and cultlvatlng
at the sar E time such morals and man
ners as correspond in character with
90 I'd words.

INFLUENCE OF CUTTING HAIR.-Medi-
cal men are occasionally asked, whether
III FACT. this operation has any influence
upon the health. M. Frederique re-
solves the question by giving the follow
ling illustration:
Alittle girl aged three years, Of good
health in general, had her hair grow
excessively long during the course Of
q few months, She was a beautiful
child, but had latterly wasted without
any apparent cause, becoming dull and
~apathetic, losing her strength and appe-
tite, without any organic lesion being
observable, She was placed upon a
tonic regimen, with chalybeates, but
J without deriving material benefit, until
her hair was cut short at the suggestion
! Of a friend, from which time she rapidly
. gained strength.
Z 1t would appear from this case, thai
i the economy had suffered a loss in the
9 expenditure Of blood necessary for the
secretions of the abundant crop Of hair
M. Frederique considers that it is the
9 formation Of the coloring matter which
g chiefly exhausts the blood, as this il
7 formed at the expense of the hema
. tosine.

INDIGo-Cwions Fact.-The indigo.
plant was a native Of South arolina.
Il grew spontaneously among its weeds
and woods, More than one hundred
years ago the planters there commenced
its cultivation. In the year l748, South
Carolina exported to Great Britain,
100000 pounds, and the Parliament
granted a bountyof IL cents per pound
TO induce IT'S gFeater cultivation. In
1847, indigo was one of The staples OF
South Carolina, and We believe Of Geor,
Ella also. Now, in l849, not a single
pound Of indigo Is raised in South Caro-
lima, or, as far as We know, in all the
South.
