Facts About Digestion.

The gastric juice is essential to digestion. 1t
is caused to flow into the stomach as soon as any
substance is introduced into the stomach, wheth-
1t be peace of leather or peace of beafsleak ;
this juice contains an acid and the more indiges-
tible any article of food is, the greater amount of
sourness does the gastric juice contain, hence
when persons eat something that does no agree
with them, that is, not easily digested they say il
soured on the stomach, or complain of heart burn.
The use to make of this is, whatever article of
food is followed by sour stomach or heartburn,
that article is hard of digestion to that stomach
and ought to be avoided altogether, at least it
should be taken in diminished quantity. But do
not forget that different stomachs bear different
things: and what disagrees with you to-day. may "a
gree very we'll next week or next month, and the
stomach must be humored, however, tickle it may
seem.
Sometimes, however, shall | not say nearly al
ways people eat so much that there is not gastric
juice, or acid enough to digest the food, then it fer
ments, produces belching, cholicky pain, sick
stomach and the like, therefore, common vinegar,
which has more of the properties Of the gastric
Juice than any other known substance, is often
used to very great advantage, especially by per-
sons who have weak stomachs, to aid the stomach
in digestion. Hence vinegar is plentifully used
with cabbage, raw or boiled, with cucumbers, etc
Hence it is, that catsups of various kinds are eat
en-, and sour crout almost digested by the vinegar
it contains, before it is eaten. Hence too it is
that some cases of loose bowels are cured by eat
ing pentifuly ofgood ripe fruits uncooked, as they
supply sourness to digest these Tk0igested articles
of food which give rise to diarrheas which are moi
of bilious character. Hence too, good ripe ap-
pie or two, little sour, after hearty breakfast
provided not much more than the juice is swallow
ed. The better plan by far. however, is not to
eat so much as to to require an apple to save US
from the effects of our imprudence.

Curious History Of the Trade ian Peg
ged Boots and Shoes.

In the August number OF the Plough, the Loom
and the Anvil, we find the following interesting
history Of the trade in pegged boots and shoes
and in connexion with agriculture
Some days since, in store in New York
chance threw in our way little printed report,
by ]. R. Pitkin, 68 Broadway, David Stevens and
John II. Cornhill, commissioners OF the American
Union Company formed for what, does the read
er suppose Why, for manufacturing staple OF
pegged boots and shoes Well, the curious facts
disclosed in this report are among others, that IN
December of last year, Joseph Walker OF HoPkln-
ton, Massachusetts, who made the first pair Of peg
geo shoes ever seen in this or any other county,
was stll alive; and that he had gone on, making
his pegged shoes and boots for more than ten
years, without competition; after which, while he
was las we hope he Is) still living, the trade in
the article had increased in his State to the
amount of $l6 100000 annually, giving, as stated
in the report, constant, honorable, and profitable
employment to 10000 inhabitants of Massachu-
setts And yet say the commissioners, the de-
mand for the manufacture exceeds the supply
which they urge, should now be met by the pro-
posed Union mandatory in the city OF New York

The Whales Strength.

The most dredful display of the Whales
strength and prowess yet automatically recor-
ded, was that made on The American Whale
ship Essex, Captain Pollard, which sailed from
Nantucket for the Pacific Ocean, in August
lS49. Late in the fall of The same year, when
in latitude forty of the South Pacific, school
of sperm Whales were discovered, and three
boats were manned and sent in pursuit The
mates boat was struck by one of them, and he
was obliged to return to the ship 10 order to re-
pair the damage.
While he was engaged in that work sperm
Whale, Judged TO be eighty three feet long broke
wafer twenty rods from the ship on her wealth
er bow. He was going at The rate Of about
three nots an hour, and the ship at nearly the
the same rate, when he struck the bow Of the
vessel just forward of her chains
Al the shock produced by the collision of
two such mighty masses Of matter in motion,
the ship shook like a leaf The seemingly
malicious Whale dived and passed under the
ship, grazing her keel, and then appeared at
about the distance of ships length lashing
the sea with fins and tail, as if suffering the
most horrible agony. He was evidently hurs
by the collision, and blindly frantic with in-
stInctve rage.
In few minutes he seemed TO recover him
self, and started with great speed across The
vessels course 10 The windward Meanwhile
the hands on deck discovered The ship 10 be
gradually setlling down at the bows, and the
pumps were TO be riggid. While the crew
working at lhem one of the men cried out
" God have mercy he comes again"
The whale had turned at about forty rods
from the ship, and was making for her with
double It's former speed his pathway white
with foam. Rushing ahead, he struck her a.
gain al the bow, and the tremendous blow stove
her in. The whale dved under again and dis
appeaed, and the ship foundred in FIVE minutes
from The first collision. But five souls Out Of
the twenty were saved.

ONE of The best and soundesl lawyers that
ever sat on The bench Of Massachusetts, was
Judge P. He was always distinguished for
the urbanily of his manners. and The benevo-
Ience of his spirit and the story have now
to relate, illustrates, quite orcibly, this eharac-
terisiC.
Judge P. was raised in Barnstable, and at
The time we refer TO, assisted his mother as
much as possible, in keeping a country inn,
a mode Of subsistence 10 which she was driven
by the death of her husband.
One evening, way-worn traveller armed
with bundle suspended from cane, entered
the inn and asked for something TO eat His
dress was no, calculated 10 inspire the behold.
or without any vast ideas of wealth, but rather
of one who lived by travelling on foot, and beg
ging nights lodging of benevolent inn-keep-
ers. Mrs. P. cast a glance at the traveller,
and seeing his shabby coat, formed a pretty
accurate estimate Of his ability TO pay for what
ever might be furnished him.
She left the room to examine the larder. and
in a short time returned, and having set before
him well picked bone of beef, she Ieft the
room, al the same lime saying TO her son, John,
il will be worth about twenty cents
Our traveller attacked The beef, and afer
some time, having perfectly macera'ed IT, hs
rose and asked John how much he was 10 pay.
WELL" said John, mother thought it
would be worth abou. twenty cents 10 pick
hone, and think so, too here's the money"
and he generously presented The traveller with

The Fashionable Lady,s Prayer

8" Give US this day our daily bread
And pies and cakes besides,
To load the stomach, pain the head,
And choke the vital tides,
And if too soon friend decays,
Or dies in agony
Well talk of Gods mysterious ways"
And lay it all TO thee.
Give US, to please a morbid taste,
In spite OF pain and death,
Consumption-st around the waist,
Almost to stop the breath;
Then if deformity attends
Our stinted progeny,
In visitation for our sins,
Well lay it all to thee.
Give US good houses, large and tall,
To look the cabins down
And servants dodging at our call,
And shaking at our frown;
The poor, however worthy they;
Well treat quite scornfully--
Then six pence pay, communion day,
And settle up with thee.
We do disdain to toll and sweat,
Like girls of vulgar blood
Of labor give us moi bit
For physc nor for food,
And if for want of exercise,
We lack the stamina
OF those we trample and dispise-
Well lay il all TO thee.
If any curse we have forgot,
That on votary
Fashion lets fall, Withhold il not,
But send it grievously
And if too hard the mill stone light
For frail humanity,
Well never blame ourselves mite,
But lay it all to thee

cumstance could have occurred that will hasten
the abolition of capital punishment in Massachu-
sets, as this judicial murder of J. w. Webster.
The law demands its "pound of flesh nearest
the heart" Let this pound of flesh be taken,
and the citizens of Boston and Charlestown and
Cambridge, and all Massachusetts, and all the
States that hear of the deed, will feel, and keen
ly feel too, that "blood" has been drawn, when
the law only demands flesh. No bravado, in
spred by respect for laws can stife or staye off
the sympathy for that thrice bereft, now butch
cred, but innocent family. No court will ever
sanction that verdict, given by jurymen who read
the prayer book of their church, instead of the
docket of the court room. And however much
this terrible decision may seem to have been
forced upon the Executive of Massachusetts by
the peculiar classes and interests they were
obliged to appease, we believe and think the
Governor and members of that Council will live
long enough, even if they have not already, to
regret the decision they have made
