A MOTHERS VoIcE.-The editor of the Gin
cinnati Atlas concludes a notice of a visit to
the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, by relating the following
Of one, an intelligent and modest young la
dy, who had become deaf from sickness when
two years and a half old, we inquired whether
she could r~ecollect anything Of sounds or
words. She answered that she could not. It
occurred to us that there might be remembered
even from that tender age, and we ventured to
inquire whether she had no recollection of her
mothers voice. 1t will be long before we for
get the sweet, peculiar smile which shone upon
her features, as by a quick inclination of her
head, she answered, yes. What a world of
thought and feeling clusters around such a
fact!-ln all her memory there is but one sound,
and that is her mothers voice. For years she
has dwelt in a silence unbroken from without,
but those gentle tones of love still in her heart.
There they can never die; and if her life should
be prolonged to threescore years and ten, out
the long silent track of her life the memory
of that voice will come, in loneliness and
beauty, rcviving the soul of weary old age
with the fresh lovely sounds Of her cradle hours.

The undersigned will, on the 18th day of June next, be-
gin the publication in the City Of Washington of a daily
Wing Administration paper, to be called 'TIIE REPUB-
LIC," the editorial supervision and management of which
will be committed to the exclusive care of Alexander C.
iiuIlitt and john o. Sargent.
The Republic will give to the principles upon which the
administration of Gen. Taylor came into power, a cordial,
Jealous, and constant support. 1t will be a faithful record Of
the times; it will discuss public measures in an impartial
and Independent spirit; it will be a vehicle of the latest and
most authentic information; it will be, in n word, a political
newspaper, devoted to the liberalizjng and proeressivedoc
trines which prevailed in the late presidential canvass to
the interests of labor, as developed in the wants of agricuI-
rure, commerce Ond manufactures, and to the cause of lit
erature, science and general intelligence.
The Republic will acknowledge no allegiance except to
the country. 1t will aim to merit the confidence and support
of the American people. 1t will be the OF ryan of no person
or party, or fraction of a party, in that compulsory sense
which would hinder it from speaking boldly and candidly
TO the people about whatever it concerns them to know.
The Republic will be printed on a double royal sheet, in
a new, large, clear, readable type.
Besides the daily paper, there wall be published a Tri-
Weekly and Weekly Republic, made up of the most inter-
esting and importantmatter of the daily issue.
TERMs-For the Daily Republic5S l0-For the Iri-Wee
ly, s6-For tire Weekly, 81.
TO Postmasters-Any Postmaster who will transmit us
$40 shall have six copies of the Weekly Republic sent to
such persons as he may direct; and SIS will entitle a post
master to three copies of the Tri-Wcekly paper.
No paper WILDE sent unless the order is accompanied by
the money. All communications upon business must be ad-
dressed to GIDEON & q.

Homeopathy.

Homeopathy in this city during the present
season has been very successful III treatment oil
cholera and its symptoms; this | know partly
from reliable reports and partly from individual
experience and observation. 1t has been Il say
ing with its opponents that the system was
little less than i f~avoring of nature; the wisely
being by, in most cases., OF remedies and the
preserving strict neutrality. Faith, too was
said from the same source to be productive Of
cures in homeopathy. The mind credulous and
DESTROYS of the cure assisted the eradication OF
bodily ailmcnt. But cholera is one Of those
diseases in which an assistance of nature and
an indulgence Of faith are little less than the
means Of suicide. And if homeopathy cures
cholera, it speaks highly for the success and
ability of the system.
The remedies it employs at the present time
are very effective and energetic. A preparation
of copper (cuprum) even in collapse stages act
ing like a charm. 1t is a great popular error
to suppose that it's remedies are of Il slight ma
1ure; they are often powerful and highly con-
centrated. And have known many instances
of physicians who protesting to oppose the
system employ its preparations. | kno" it is
q common thing, especially at the South where
il is little known, to condemn the practice Of
homeopathy as quackish, but humbly conceive
its growth and popular reception ut the North
and especially in N. York, are evidences to the
contrary. 1t is said by responsible men of the
Hahnenann school, that there never was an
instance known of irregular bred physician who
fully examined and tested their doctrines and
practice, who refused to adopt and disseminate
the system. In our own city, when such men
rs Judge Kent, Bryant, Benz. F. Butlcr, Chan
cellor McCoun, and a host of leading diyines.
and leaders of the fashion even, patronizc ho-
lnGpathy, it istoo late to talk about quackery.

PURE WATER THE Best DRINK.-There is
no axiom of health more just than that "n1en
never have a true appetite till they eat with re-
lish any ordinary food" 1t is told of John Bal
les, who lived to the age of one hundred and
twenty-eight, that his food for the most part
consisted of brown bread and cheese, and his
drink water and milk. He had buried the town
of Northampton twenty times over, excepting
three or four; and it is said strong drink Killed
them all. Water manifestly is the natural bev-
erage of all animals; whole nations. as theMa-
hometans and the Hindoos, use it alone as a
beverage; and, unlike other drink, it will not safe
the appetite, but the contrary; indeed, il. was OBJ
served by Hypocrates, above two thousand
years ago, that water drinkers had generally
keen appetites. 1t is a fluid that requires no
digestion, for it is not necessary that it should
undergo any changes; it is the natural men,
struum that holds in solution both what is es-
sential for the healthy functions of the body,
and what has become a refuse, after serving its
destined office and intention in the animal king
dom. Water; therefore, from its congenial quail
tiles, can never much disturb the system; and
when it does, it is speedily expelled by its natu-
raj outlets, the skin and kidneys, It is told
of Lord Heathfeld, so well known for his hardy
habits of discipline and watchfulness, that his
food was vegetable and his drink water, never
indulging himself in animal food or wine. And
Sir John Sinclair, in his work on longevity
says, in his account Of Mary Campbell, ther
aged one hundred and five, that she preferred
water to any other drink.

To MAKE DRAWN BUTTER.-In a quarter of
q pound Of butter, rub a tablespoonful Of flour,
and half a teaspoonful of salt, until it be-
comes a smooth batter. Have ready half a
pint Of boiling water, in a sauce pan; stir the
batter into ii until perfectly smooth, and let il
simmer for fifteen minutes, stirring it frequent
lN. Some cooks will tell you it must be STIR
red all the time it is on the fire, which is quite
unnecessary, as all that is intended by such d.
rections is, that it must be watched and stirred
often enough to prevent it from becoming
'lumpy," and burning to the bottom of the
sauce pan.
This drawn butter is the foundation Of most
g~ravies and sauces-as oyster sauce, celery
sauce, &c, and the following cheap sauce for
pudding is among them:
For six people, make the quantity directed in
the above receipt, and have ready in a bowl six
large teaspoonfuls of good brown sugar; half
4 teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon, or half a
grated nutmeg, moistened with a wineglassful
of white or home made currant wine; pour the
drawn butter, while boiling, on this, stir it well
and serve in a sauce bowl.
IF wine is thought to be too expensive or is
objected to for other reasons, lemon juice is q
delicious substitute, but it requires double the
quantity of sugar; Or, if your vinegar is pure
and well favored, use the proper quantity Of that
instead of the wine.-American Agricuhurist.
