~SLANDER.-Yes, pass it along whether you
believe it or not that one-sided whisper against
the character of a ~virtuous female. You say
you don't believe it, but you will use your in
huence to bear up the false report and pass it
on the current. Strange creatures mankind.-
How many regulations have been lost by sur
mise. How many benevolent deeds have chilled
by the shrug of a shoulder! How many chaste
bosoms have been wrung with grief by a single
nod. How many graves have been dug by a
false report. Yes pass the SANDER along; you
will keep it above the waters by a wag Of your
tongue, when you might sink it forever. Des-
troy the passion for telling a tale pray, YOU
of another. Be determined to listen to no
story that is repeated to the injury of another,
and as far as you are concerned the SANDER
will die. But tell it once, and it may go as on
the wings of the wind, increasing with each
breath, till it has circulated through the State,
and brought to the grave one who might have
lived and been a blessing to the world.

LIABILITIES OF THOSE WHO TAKE NEWsPA-
PERs.-The Law is, and so the courts decide,
that any person to whom a paper sent is respon-
sible for the payment, he receives the paper, or
makes use Of it-eycn though he never sub
scribed for it. His duty in such Il case is not to
take the paper from the office or place were it
is left, but to notify the publisher that he does
not wish forit. Ifpapers are sent to a Post Of
fee, Store, Tavern, or other place, and are not
taken out by the person to whom they are sent
the Postmaster, Store or Tavern keeper, &c,
is responsible for the payment, unless he i'm
mediately give notice to the publisher that they
are not taken from the office or place where
they are sent.
Extract from the Post Office Regulations,
page so, section ITO: sin every instance i'll
which papers come to your office that are not
taken out by the person to whom they are sent,
you will give immediate notice Of it TO the pub
Usher, adding the reason, if known, why the
papers are not taken out"
The Courts have decided that refusing to
take a paper from the office, or removing and
leaving it urcalled for, is prima Jacie evidence of
Intentional fraud.

EEANEsg EIS' DEPARTMENT.

AMERICAN TYA.-Smith, whose operations
with the tea plant, We have noticed before III
the Sci. Am, and who has planted his sprouts
in S. Carolina, expects to realise good tea in
this country. He estimates the annual consump-
ton of tea in the United States to be eleven
millions of pounds, Europe, fifty; total sixty-one
millions. China produces over nine hundred
millions of pounds, of which the Chinese en-
! export only about seventy millions. An acre
of land will produce SAT pounds; consequently
the cultivation of 20,l09 acres of land in the
! fourteen tea-growing States will supply the
consumption of the United States. To supply
Europe would produce 91,4ll acres of land
He suposes that there are fourteen Of oul
/ States that would grow tea, and that Ill 500
acres of land, cultivated as tea plantations,
averaging 1852 for each oftfe fourteen States.
! will SUPPLY the consumption of the article
both tor Europe and the United States. The
experiment MIR. Smith is engaged in in a
highly interesting 0 e, and will be attended
with vast benefits to the country if completely
successful.
A few years ago, there was no tea grown
but in China, and indeed this is the principal
country where it is grown yet, and were we
get all our supply; but there is no good reason
to suppose that tea equally as good as the
Chinese, may not be grown in many other coun-
try, and pursuing this idea, some English capt.
~talists, have established tea plantations in the
East Indias, which are in successful operation.
and are now supplying Thibet, and will soon
supply Chinese Tartay herself with tea. The
United States can supply herself with tea of
home growth, at 4 much cheaper rate than to
bring it from eCanton.-Sci. Am.

SORE TEATs IN Cows.-P. Hallock gives
the following directions for the management OF
cow that have sore teats:
Take Il full pail of cold water, and wash and
rub the sores well. Use the whole pail full of
water before milking, which cools the teats, or
reduces the fever, and the COW will stand per-
fectly still. After milking, use half as much
more cold water, cleansing the bag and teats
well, and in a few days the sores will heal
This is not all the good you will receive. You
will have clean milk and this is the way to have
clean butter.

CoNs1srENcY.-"A foolish consistency" says
Emerson, sis the hobgoblin of little minds. If
you would be a man, speak what you think to-
day, in words as hard as caImon-balls, and to-
morrow speak what tomorrow thinks, in hard
words again, though you shall contradict all
YOU have sad to day" Here is a maxim of true
philosophy, uttered in the retirement of the
woods, it would be well for the practical world
to sec boldly acted up to. In politics, more
especially, how much Of mischief would be
avoided, had men the moral courage to act al
ways on the convictions of the hour, regardless
of what they had previously done or spoken!

USEFUL
TRANSMITTING TREES.

We find in the Utica Gazette, facts showing
ttlltl 1t Is not necessary to select small trees for
transplantlng, IN order to ensure their growth.
Large trees may be as successfully planted ;s
small ones. The mode and result of an cX-
pertinent, made by Messrs, Pomeroy and Dut-
ton, of Utica, are thus given Those gentle
men transpIantcd trees, comprising naples,
eIns, beech, ect., some thirty feet in height,
which were ~tranSplanted without being sllorn
OF any Of their branches. The process of re-
moVal was as follows: In the fall, before the
frost, Il trench was dug around the trees Sc
lccted, from ten to fifteen feet III diameter, and
the roots severed. In the winter, when the
ground had become solid from freezing, the
trees Were pulled out by the aid of oxen and
levers, with the mass of earth firmly attached to
the roots. They were then transported erect
on strong sled, built fortIle purpose, and set
out.
These trees grew in open land mile and Il
halt from the city. They put on their foliage
last spring as if wholly unconscious that they
were not still in their native soil, and the en-
terprising getlemen who undertook this unu-
sual course are rewarded with shade trees which
by the old practice it would have required twen-
ty years to produce.
This old and well known plan Of transplant
ING should always be pursued, by those who
build their houses Oh exposed situations, I'M
protected by standing trees-Scieniifc Amerl-

This drug is the Juice which exodes from in
cisions made in the heads Of ripe peoples, and
/ rendered concrete by exposure to the sun. The
best opium comes from Turkey, the East H.
da kind is not so good. Opium occurs in brown
Jumps, not very large. Good opium is hard
when cold, but becomes soft when worked in
the hands. 1t has a stong offensive smell, and
is very bitter to The trsie. Proof spirit digested
upon opium, forms Mudanum. Opium has been
long known as 4 deadly and dangerous narcotic;
it has been supposed that the soporific effects
Of opium depended on morphia, but in 100
parts of the best Turkish opium only seven per
cent, of morphia can be extracted; but morphia
is not more poisonous than opium. Ure believes
that the deleterious activity Of opium is due to
its union of oleate or marguerite of narL Otlne
with morpfia.
Opium is a slow and a rapid poison. Peo-
pie can accustom themselves to it, and be able
to eat as much as might destroy the lives OF
three or four at one dose, who were unaccus-
toned to it. Opium drunkenness is a horrible
vice of the Turks and Chinese. It's drunken
dreams are pleasing, but they reveal terrible
results. The habit of opium eating is perhaps
the most dangerous of all others-the most all
urging-the most difficult to break up.
1t is said that a great increase in the consump.
ton of opium has taken place in America, es-
pecially in the Eastern States, within the past
seven years, and its votaries are found principal
ly among our women. 1t is Il vice which should
be frowned down by every persen,-lt is a
drunkenness more deadly and vicious than that
of spirits in any shape.-B.
PREPARATION OF THE OXIDE OF
Mix in an iron vessel IL parts of sulphnret Of
anthony in fine powder, with SO parts Of sui
phuric acid, and let the mixture stand for about
80 hours, taking care to stir the mixture often,
and apply a gentle heat. Sulphurous acid gas
is then given off in vapor, which, when it has
ceased, water is added, and also the carbonate
of soda, which decomposes the sub-sulphate of
anthony, and the oxide is obtained, which,
when dry, is of a fine greenish color.-B.
