HUSk Beds.

A correspondent of the Ne,o- England Farmer,
uses the following argument in fovor of Iusk Beds
1t deserves consideration. Feather beds every
person of intelligence knows, are the most unheal
thy, deblitating articles to be found in our whole
domestic economy. as-R a+
''No one who has not tried them, knows the value
of the husk BEDS Straw and mattresses would be
entirely done away with, if the husk beds were
once tried They are not only more durable
The first cost is but triiing To have husks nice,
they may be split after the manner of splitting
straw for braiding. The finer they are split the
softer will be the bed, although they will not be
likely to last as long when they are put in whole
Three barrels full, well slowed in, will fill good
sized tick, that is, after they have been split
The bed will always be light, the husks do not be-
come matted down like feathers, and they are GER
tainly more healthy to sleep on.
Feather beds ought to be done away WITH es-
pecially in warm weather. For spring, summer
and fall, husk beds ought to be all the co." and
such undoubtedly will be the case, when they are
once brought into use. There is no better time to
procure husks than when corn is being harvested
and the husks will be much nicer and cleaner
when is cut up at the bottom, and put in stocks
They do not become SO dry and weather-beaten.
1t is calculated that good husk bed will last from
twenty-five to thirty years. Every farmers daugh-
ter can supply herself with beds lagainst time of
need at trifing expense, which is quite an in
ducement now-a.days." s @

Mineral Wealth Of Arkansas.-Recent explo-

an abundance of mineral resources and that in the
two articles of coal and lead she is expected to e.
quail the States of Pennsylvania and Missouri to-

culation yet it is very well ascertained that the
quality of the argentiferous lead ore found in Ar
kansas is superior to that of any other in the Uni

tific men have shown the mineral to be the richest
argentiferous ore ever found In this country some

We happened to be walking up Chatham street,

us, (probably emboldened by our good -natured ace

get some employment! He cared little about the
price he said but he wanted to work and earn his
own living. We saw at glance that he was out

His father was farmer in West Chester coun-

such had all the heavier labor of the farm to un-
dergo, and to superintend. About year ago, his
mother employed tidy little Irish girl to help a.
bout the house, and in few weeks our hero was
desperately in love with her. Sincere and ardent
in his attachment he soon contrived to inspire
reciprocal passion, and the cosy meetings. 'on the
sly as he called them, and the innocent demon
strations of affection that followed may be imagn-

mothers are very acute in these things, and horri-

him occupying some day the White House at Wash

Here was dilemma, and our lovers, in their
desperation proceeded to neighboring preachers,
where they were secretly married. Mary left the

the two embracing, rang the bel and tried to gain
admittance. Mary went to the door, opened it
partially, and instantly tried to close it again.
The father pushed in, and maddened at her oppo-
sition, was brutal enough to knock her down and
kick her. es

week, at the close of the Autumn, having, for her
