OF INTEREST TO PLANTERS.

We invite the attention of Tobacco grow
'ers in this part Of the State, to the follow
ing Card, which we find in the st. Louis
1t affords a fine opportunity for
our farmers to make known the superiority
EFF the tobacco grown upon their lands, and
to sustain the high character it deserves
and partially enjoys; as well as to prove
their neatness and skill in preparing the
article. The profits of tobacco depend
more upon the quality than the quantity
raised. At the exhibition held at the Plan
Iters' Tobacco Warehouse last season, "Old
Pike" bore off the first and third best pre-
minms offered-proving herself tho banner
county in the State. Will the farmers not
claim for her the same distinction again?

To the Editor:
"SIR: Having become through Provi-
.dence, an humble instrument in discover.
ing an inEaHi6Le remdey for the cholera,
even in the most desperate cases, ! hasten
to communicate to your estimabls paper,
the treatment by which, with Gods assis-
lance, this disease may be cured. 1t is as
follows:
As soon as the vomiting and diarrhea
commence, place the legs Of the patient ny
to the knees in water not too hot to the
touch; throw in six or seven handfuls of
coarse salt; cause the legs to be rubbed vi
.olently by two persons with both hands;
open the large vein in both feet, and allow
the blood to flow in the warm water for IL
to 20 minutes, according to the sex or age
of the patient, or to the stage Of the dis.
ease.
"During this time keep The water of the
same temperature that it was when the
limbs were first inserted, by adding more
water. The natural animal heat of the bo-
.dy will be Immediately restored and felt;
the patient will commence at once speak
ing, and asking for nourishment. He will
be perfectly prepared t. resume his duties
in day or so.
"Of sixty laborers attacked with chole-
ra, whom l have attended, several had
been suddenly seized while at work in the
field; others after having retired in perfect
health, about day-break have been arous-
ed from sound sleep with the usual symp-
toms at the greatest height. Aid could
rarely be obtained under half an hour, or
an hour and hall, (scmetimes six or sew
en- hours, and in one instance ten Louls had
elaPsed:) still after giving this remedy a
fair trial, was the cure so perfect, that they
were enable to return to their labor in FIVE
or six days after the attack. In some ca
ses the very next day, or the day after, saw
them restored.
sit has occurred, in some rare cases, that
the blood not flowing sufficiently at the
time, the patient was bled a second time.
In such cases, the second bleeding must
take place in the arm, and not in the feet.
In no case has this treatment failed.
ga remarkable feature in this remedy, is
the immediate and perfect re-establishment
of the health of the patient, who, instead
of losing his strength, seems, on the contra
ry, to have acquired new vigor.

inspire less fear, than such an epidemic as

LOVE love thou art feather,
Blown about by every weather.
Now a breeze will give thee breath;
Then anon twill be thy death.
Sometimes lounging in bower,
Slipping sweets from every flower;
Then, when cooler fits are on,
Wave leaf and thou art gone
Or perchance, the sunshine NAV
Beam too brightly on thy way
Or if it should turn to shade,
Thou wilt fly the gloomy glade.
Love love. fear thou art
OF selfish temper, tickle heart
Like the changeful April shower
Storm and sunshine in an hour.
Thou canst wear a smiling face,
But it still bears PASSIONS trace.
Fond and tickle, light and free,
Love! what else can equal thee.
