The Baby Jumper Beat.

Some cute Yankee, in Boston, has invented and
brought out grand concern for nursing infants.
You put your squaller into the machine, and, by a
series Of straps, cogs and screws, agitaied by the
spasmodic splurges of the infants arms and legs,
the machine rolls gently over the floor while a
species of hand organ music is emitted, equalling
ten penny whistles and dozen baby's rattles-
If this fails to amuse the little sugar Jumps" you
may turn screw and set in motion manpula-
tor. something like a human hand, it 'by hys' the
mudder's box of diamonds, tickes and pats it un-
til 1t roars with laughter goes to sleep We be-
lieve the inventor intends to make sundry add-
tlons to his baby nurser, whereby it may dress and
undress the youngster, feed it, wash it, &c. If
these Yankees keep on a spell longer, the men
may shut up shop and go fishing, while the wo-
men lie back in white kids and play overture on
the accordion or piano. This equals the patent
I" clecquer," and knocss the telescope for, seeing
through BRICK clean into the Fourth of July.

Use of sleep 10 the Body.

Solidificaton-that is, the conversion of blood
into the solid parts of the body goes on during
sleep. The chief end, indeed, an object, and in
tention of sleep would seem to be this final assim-
laiion Of food this solidication of the blood,
into the several solid parts Of the body.
The Accomplishment of this miraculous change
seems to have required, that every thing, both
within and without the body, should be hushed in
to profound repose during the accomplishment of
the mighty wonder, IN order that nothing might
disturb or interfere with the exquisite and miracu-
lous processes employed to effect H. To this end the
portals of sensation are closed-the eye. sees not
the ear hears not-the skin feels not--the very
breathing is scarcely audbe-the pulsations Of
the heart are scarcely perceptbe-all the living
energies are now concentrated into the greatest
possible intensity like rays Of light into focus; ;
and directed, with almost complete exclusiveness,
towards this simple object
In the day, therefore, we make blood--in the
night that blood is converted into solid matter
In the day we garner up the building materials
in the night we repair up the building. The hour
Of rising, therefore, ought TO be at the time at
which our physical strength is at the greatest
and perfectly healthy persons this Is the
The anguor which sckly persons feel in the morn
ing, arises from the process of repair not having
been fully accomplished; the building has not
been repaired, and therefore its strength has not
been restored. The apparent additional strength
which is felt during the day, after eating, is only
apparent-it is merely excitement derived from
The stmuous of food in the first instance in the
and after that food has been assimlla-
ted, of new blood in the system.

How to Cure A Cold.

OF ali other means of killing colds, fasting is the
most efectual. Let whoever has cold eat moth
ing whatever for two days, and his cold will be
gone, provided he is not confined in bed-because,
by taking no carbon into the system by food, but
consuming that surplus which caused his disease
by breath, he soon carries off his disease by re-
moving the cause. And this plan of fasting will
be found more effectual if he adds copious water
drinking to protracted fasting. BY the time per-
son, able to be about, but suffering, however Sc
verly from cold, has tasted one entire day and
night, he will begin to experience relief, light
ness, freedom from pain, and clearness ofminc
in delightful contrast with that mental stupor and
physical pain caused by cold. And how infinite
ly better is this method ofbreaking mp colds and
freeing the system of disease, than medicines, es-
pecialy than violent poisons.

Filial Affection.

Be kind 10 thy father, for when thou vast young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he,
He caught the first accent that fell from thy tongue
And joined III thy innocent glee.

His locks intermingled with gray
His footsteps are feeble--once fearless and bold,
Thy father is passing away.
BE kind to thy mother--for 10 on her brow,
May traces of sorrow be seen;
Oh! well may ST thou cherish and comfort her now,
For loving and kind she hath been.
Remember thy mo,her--for thee will she pray.
AS long as God giveih her breath;
With accents of kindness then cheer her lone way,
Enc 10 the dark vally Of death.
BE kind to thy brother--hs heart will have derath,
II smiles Of thy JOY be withdrawn;
The flowers of feeling will fade at the birth,
II love and affection be gone.
Be kind TO thy brother--wherever you are,
The love of a brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far,
Than pearls from the depths Of the sea.
Be kind to thy sister-not many may know
The depth Of true sisterly love;
The wealth Of the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Thy kindness shall bring thee many sweet hours,
And blessings thy pathway to crown:
Affection shall weave thee garland Of flowers,
More precious than wealth or renown

The Ten Culture i'm south Carolina

DR.. Junius Smith of Greenville, South Car
olina, in letter dated May lst, speaks of his
experiments in growing lea in his country as
highly successful. The plant maintains its o.
riginal physiology and follows its Chinese pa
ternily, putting out its foliage at the same Pc
rIod that i, does in China. All DR.. Smiths
plants have taken roots, The buds began 10 de-
yelope leaves about the 2oIh of April, though
the spring has been backward. and he could
al this time collect sufficient quaniy Of leaves
to make first rate tea. He says the leaves are
most tender and delicate. and he can now un.
derstand why it is that we cannot obtain the
first quality of lea from China. The first growth
of the leaf is so delicate that il it quite mpossi-

States, may grow his own tea in his own gar

Extraordinary Case of Longevity.

Dinah, an old negress, died in Norfolk, Va, a

ty three years old. She was servant in family
residing at the Great Bridge, when the memora-
BILE battle was fought there in l775, between Col.
Woodford's Virginia troops and the British grena-
diers, under Captain Fordyce, and was at that
time, grandmother fact which attests her age.
She was blind for number of years, but recov

Kind of had E,irn Foul.

Some people have a very ugly way of laying vi
olen, hands on small trifes that don't belong TO
.hem; which costs others money, and which they
don't think of paying for Now il is very well
known that groceries pay abou, the smallest profit
of any other merchandise, hence the habit some
folks have Of going into to purchase ten to
twenty five cents worth of groceries-to be sent
home, too-and while they wait for the goods TO
be put up, they amuse themselves by mouthful of
sugar, gormandise an apple or two, or guzzle a
bunch Of rasins, figs slice Of cheese, plug of TO-
bacco, biscuit, or whatever else lies around tempt
ingly exposed to view. Y ou may rest assured
that people don, trade and traffic for the fun OF it.
