A True REMARK.--We know not with
whom the following had its origin, but doubt
not that there are many families in which it
it may be read with profit: ,-sy- sz..:'l
aHomes are more frequently darkened by
the continual recurrence of small faults than
by the actual presence of any decided vice.
The evils are apparently Of very dissimilar
magnitude; yet it is easier to grapple with the
one than with the other. The eastern travel
Ter can combine his forces and hunt down the
tiger that prowls upon his path; but he finds it
scarcely possible to essape the mosquitoes that
infest the air he breathes, or the flies that swarm
in the sand he threads. The drunkard has been
known to renounce his darling vice; the slave
to dress in extravaganza, her besetting sin;
but the Waspish temper. the irritating tone, the
rude, dogmatical manner, and the hundred
nameless negligences that spoil the beauty Of
association, have rarely done other than pro-
lceed, till disgust and gradual alienation leave
nothing but barren tract, over which the mere
skeleton of companionship stalks alone"

Cure FOR THE .BoNE FEvER."--A friend Of
ours, far advanced in life has successfully treat
ed this annoying disease as follows: He filled a
large tub with water as warm as he could bear
it, sufficient deep to come above the knees: four
soar oranges acre cut IN quarters and throaon in
He then seated himself over the tub with his
feet and legs immersed, wrapping blanket
closely around him. At the same time he had
a tumbler filled with warm water sweetened
with honey, into which was sliced sour orange.
This mixture he drank freely Within few
minutes copious perspiration was induced.
From the tub he went to bed and covered up
closely. AT the end of forty hours he was
completely cured.-Alabama planter.

OpilliOn of the Press,

What should be done with those persons
who wilfuly cheat the printer! This has long
been moofed question among the members OF
this glorious fraternity, each OF whom prescribe
very different, but ut the same time very severe
though very singular modes of punishment
One OF our contemporaries of the press, him Of
the Sam River Wolverine" has "horrid bad"
opinion of all such. He expresses his belief
that such an one would steal a Westinghouse,
rob church yard; thinks if he had soul, ten
| thousand of its size would have more room in il
musGnitos eye than bul!rog in the Pacific
Ocean; and that he ought to be wnked at by
blind people: and kicked to death across lors
by crppes "Amcu.' respond number of
the Press gang, throughout the length and
breadth Of the land, one of whom saws that
such thing would steal the molasses out of !,
sick negros ginger-cake; take from drunken
mans mouth his last chew of tobacco; walk at
night through the rain to deprive Il blind sheep
of its fodder; travel fifty miles on fasting sto-
mach to cheat Il dying woman. out of her coffin.
and steal the wax out of dead dogs ear. Such
man ought to be tied to Sleeps tail and
butted to deaih! Another queer chicken sup
poses that such fellow would rob a lame
goose's nest of the last egg, and steal a rats
tail from blind kitten. He should be tied ~,
toa broomstick and scolded to death by old
maids and his bones should be made into but.
tons to be worn on the breeches of conyicts
The Temperance Banner adds that such a crea-
ture would break surveyors level to get the
alchoho', and his wife's watch for the mock
jewels; bid against widow at her dead hus-
bands auction, and steal the orphans shoe
strings before daylight. To which still anoth-
er adds that such man would dislike the char
acter of Washington, and prefer to pay two bits
for game of billiards than to give one dime
towards building a monument to his memory
Yet another says such man ought to be drum
med out of creation by regiment of grass
hoppcrs; and have his funeral requiem sung by
colony of mosquitoes. But Major Noah
"caps the climax" when he says all the above
ought to be mere preliminary sufferings-thc
"sprologue to the swelling act" of his fuM
doom. He should eventually be consigned to
Tophet, where his perpetual punishment
would be to read the newspaper squibs perpc-
trated at his expense

THE VALUE or BRAss.-Sidney Smith in
his recently published lectures on moral science
gives the following account of the use Of a
little @brass." s.. ~
A great deal of talent is lost to the world fol
the want Of little courage. Every day sends
to their graves q number of obscure men, who
have only remained in obscurity because their
timidity has prevented them from making q
first effort; and who, if they could only have
been induced to begin, would. in all probability,
lave gone great lengths in the career of fame.
The fact is, thatlin order to do anything in this
world worth doing; we must not stand shiver-
ing on the bank, and thinking of the cold and
the danger, but jump in and scramble through
as well as we can. 1t will not do to he per-
petualIy calculating risks, and adjusting nice
chances; it did all very well before the Flood,
whensa man could consult his friends upon an
intended publication for hundred and fifty
years, and then live to see its success for six
or seven centuries afterwards, but at present,
man waits, and doubts, and hesitates, and
consults his brother, and his particular friends,
till one fine day he finds that he is sixty-6ve
years Of age-that he has lost 90 much time in
consulting first cousins and particular friends
that he has no more time left to follow their
advice. There is such little time for over
squeamishness at present, the opportunity 20
easily slips away, the very period of life at
which man chooses to venture, if eper, ID SO
confined, that it is not bad to preach up the
necessity, in such instances, Of little violence
done to the feelings, and efforts made in def
ance of a strict and sober calculation 81 ,aai

in the beam of the summers morn, that short
