We obtained knowledge of this Medicine
from Dr.. DE CHARM HIMSELF, and secured the
EXCLUSIVE CONTROL of it, after we had
tested its Medical Properties with the most rigid
exactness; and we have caused the most eminent
Physicians in the United States to do the Same.
The result is that it has been pronounced BY
ALL superior to any thing hitherto knorn to them
IN Medical Science, surprising in its remedial
virtues any all other Medicines COM

AGRICULTURAL.
FOR THE M1DDLEBURY GALAXY.
MERINO SHEEP.

Mr.. EDITOR The practice of sheep
husbandry, in this country, is one of vast
and growing importance, and is entitled
TO passing notice in your columns. As
branch of industrial pursuit, it employs
not less than one and quarter millions,
in rearing and manufacturing the raw
material. Not only in itself considered,
is it source of national wealth, but IFS
reflex influence on agriculture and the
mechanic arts. contributes to make it an
important branch, TO those not Immediate
ly engaged in the pursuit. For example,
if we allow five bushels of wheat to each
individual engaged in the pursuit, then
they would consume annually 6,25O, 600
bushels. They would consume an equal
number of bushels of potatoes, aside from
meat, butter, poultry, eggs, &c. Their
demands upon the shoemaker, halter, tai
lor, and carpenter. are equally strong, and
exert an influence favorable to their pros
perity.
This branch of business has grown TO
its present commanding Importance, with
in comparatively brief period. Forty
years since, lew Huuuieu tnouSa"u
coarse and meagre sheep, scattered over
The New England and some of the Md
die States-a few thousand spindles, pro-
PEELED by some rude machinery, served to
comprise the whole of this now large and
lucrative business. Then we imported our

his own cloth, while the merchants and
professional men bought of England

American wool was of too coarse fibre

The UNRELIABLENESS OF HISTORY
Capt. Bragg, it appears, says that Gen. Tay-
lor never addressed to him the famous com
mand Of d &" little more grape" but if Gen.
Taylor did not. it becomes an interesting ques-
tion-who did ? 1t IS very certain that the
command did not produce ITSELF ike the school
boys whistle. Whether Gen. TAYLOR gave the
orders or not are of no consequence is ac-
knowledged to be characteristic of him, and is
so much like his cool and concise, yet familiar
manner of expression that it is Just as goud
an illustration of character as though it were
really his own. One thing is certain. that IT
was not a weak invention of the enemy, md
whoever gave it circulation knew Gen. Tay-
Tor perfectly well, or he could not have invent
ed ANYTHING so characteristic of his self pos
session in time Of battle. The Duke of Wei
lington has said that he never uttered tho
equally famous command, Up Guards, and at
Them which history puts into his mouth at the
battle of Waterloo. The equally famous war
cry Of the British at the battle of New Or
leans, Beauty and Booty has been declared
by every surviving officer of that battle to be
a fiction We shall be told bv-and by, prob
ably, that Lawrence never exclaimed, Don't
give up the ship that Perry never wrote
the immortal words. We have met the enemy,
and they are ours.-and that CAESARS rem.
ridi. rici, is a fction-whle Nelson's Erg-
land expects every man to do his duly will be
declared an old sailors warn. History is not
to be depended upon in the matter of epitiets.
The good savings exist, however, and it mat |
tiers little who uttered them fIst.-Ereaing

MY MAIDEN AUNT.

Ny aunt my dear unmarried aunt!

Yet still she strains the aching clasp
That binds her virgin zone;

As cheerful as she can;
Her waist is ampler than her life,
For life is but span.
My aunt my poor deluded aunt!
Her hair is almost gray;
Why will she train that winter curl
In such a spring like way
How can she lay her glasses down,
And say she reads as well,
When through double convex lens
She Just makes out to spell !

Within 4 hundred miles.

Twas in her thirteenth June;
And with her as the rules required,
Two towels and a spoon
They braced my aunt against board,
To make her straight and tail:
They laced her up. they starved her down.
To make her light and small;
They pinchcd her feet, they singct her hair.
They screwed it up with pins;
O never mortal suffered more
In penance for her sins.
So, when my precious aunt was done,
Nv grandsirc brought her back;
tBy daylight, lest some rabid youth
Might follow on the track j

Some powder in his pan.
What could this lovely creature do

Ills all-accomplished maid
For her now happy had it been!
And Heaven had spared to me
To sec one sad, ungathcred rose
On my ancestral tree.
