hams all down the last week in February, if well
dried, (and they should be and pack them away
in dry ashes. A good plan for this is to have
shelves in the smoke house, and lay some of the
meat sticks, corn cohs, or anything dry and hard,
upon the shelf, then lay the ham, skin side down,
upon these-frst covering the whole surface OF
the meat, and carefully filling all the little ere
vices, with dry ashes. They are then in con-
diiion to be easily seen and examined through
the summer-and if the pork has been well
made, and the hams put up in good time, little
trouble may be expected, more than occasionally
to scrape off little mould. The smoke should
be made with green hickory Or oak wood. One
of the most convenient articles which we have
tried, is ground tan bark, after it has been used
and thrown from the vat. This gives the bacon
a beautiful brown appearance, and the smoke is
kept up with little trouble.-SoH Of the South.
DEMOLITION OF THE OLD BREwERY.-The
work of pulling down the Old Brewery, at the
Five Points will be commenced this week. Such
an event is not 10 be passed unnoticed. a new
impetus is thus given the physical and moral re-
generation of that locality, from time immemori-
al considered as beyond the reach of Christian
sympathy. The day of its demolition deserves
to be distinguished as red letter day in the an
nails Of four city's history. The great landmark
of vice and degradation, the haunt Of crime and
the home Of misery, will soon be among the things
that were remembrance, but no longer fact.
In its stead will rise landmark for virtue and
morality. and home for the ,lsconsolate and
thu dcsolatc. The drunkard and the acbascd,
and the steal,hy murderer, will no more HE
tllither for concealment, but sobrety, and purity,
and mercy will stand with open arms to receive
whonlsoever will eschew vice and make fellow
ship with virtue. What no legal enactment
could accomplishing machinery Of municipal
government could etfcct-Christian women have
brought about, quietly but thoroughly and tri
umpllantly From hencciorth the Old Brewery
is no more. Had any one predicted this ten, or
even five years ago, the laugh of scorn or the
smile ofincredulity would have greeted lis proph-
ecy.
1t is to the credit of the religious denonina-
ton known as the Methodist Episcopal Church,
that they were the first to enter the then un-
promising field and it will be an imperishabe
honor to the Ladies Home Missionary Society of
that church that with them the idea originated,
aud by them has so successfully been carried on.

FACTS FOR THE NEXT EDITION OF UNCLE;
TOMS CAB1N.-A correspondent of the Martins
burg (Va) Gazette furnishes the following facts
for the next edition of Uncle Toms Cabin:
There died lately in lower county in Virgil
mia, mulatto man who had teen manumitted
bv his master, and was under or law one of
those persons who was permitted to remain IN
Virginia. His master had with his liberty, left
him respectable property, and this man by in
dustry accumulated an estate of $4,000. HE
had purchased his wife, who was slave: and his.
children were therefore his own property as we'll
as his Wife.
Falling into bad health he went to Philadel.
phia some time during this last summer for me-
dcal advice, but learning from the best ply
sicians that his health was worse than:he thought
and that he could not live, he wrote to relative
of his old master to come on for him, which this
gentleman did, and stayed with him, and
brought him back to Virginia, at his request
lie died shortly after his return, not long since;
and by his last will left all his estate to this gen.
are thus the slaues of his friend-trusting of
course, that he would care for them, and provide
for them.
Here was an intelligent, wealthy man, who
knew the condition of colored people in the
Northern States. that preferred to leave his wife
and children and all his property to white man
to sending them out Of the State to live as free
persons with fine estate.
These are notorious and recorded facts, and
can be proved if denied; and there are many
such occurrences among our colored people which
might be made public, to put to shame the exag
ccrated fictions of Mrs Stowe and her adher-
ents, if there was any possibility for substitu-
ting in the Northern mind FACT for fctioa-REA-
SON for imagination--and CHARITY in the place
Of sectional prgudsce,

THE HOURS.
BY WILLIAM C. BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM C. BRYANT.
The hours are viewess angels
And still 60 gliding by,
And bear each moments record up
TO Him who sits en- high.
The poison ofthe nectar
Our hearts deep flower-cups yield,
sample still they gather swift,
Aud leave us in the field.
And some fly by on pnions
Ofgorgeous gold and blue,
And some fly on with dropping wing
Of sorrows darker hue,
And as we speed each minute
That God to us has given,
The deeds are known before His THRONE
The tale is told in Heaven.
Aud we who talk among them,
AS one by one departs,
Think not that they are lowering
Forever round our hearts.
Like Summer bees they hover
Around the idle flowers,
They gather every act and thought,
These viewess angel hours.
And still they steal the record,
And bear i! far away
The mission fight, by day or night,
No magic power can stay.
So teach me, Heavenly father,
TO spend each flying hour,
That, as they 60, they may not show
My heart poison flower.

EXTRAORDINARY LocK.-The editor Of the
American Artzan was recently shown piece of
mechanism which certainly goes head of any
thing in the shape of lock that We have ever
seen or read Of in the essential Of security from
depreciation. 1t is called Yaie's Magic Lock, and
is as absolutely unpckable as the kernel of a
walnut would he without damaging the SHE'LL
The only opening is a circular orifce, half an inch
which there is no possible access to the tumblers
by any instrument whatever-not even by the
key itself, strange as that may seem. By sim
gular contrivance, portion of the key is detach-
ed after insertion, and sent to distant part CT
the lock, where it moves the tumblers, and where
the tools of the burglar could never arrive except
by first battering the lock to pieces. The key
hole resembles the interior Of IA small pistol bar
rel, and having no opening in the interior basis
of the lock, would not receive powder enough to
blow it open. The lock is therefore absolutely.
gunpowder proof also. Among other peculiari-
ties, the key is susceptible of from forty thousand
to one million of changes. A change of the
key changes the lock also in the act of locking,
so that one may have new lock every day for
hundreds of years! BY change of the key af-
ter locking, it is rendered impossible to unlock,
even with the same key, until altered back again.
One may thus lose the key or have it stolen, and
still entertain no fears Of the locks being opened
with it. The proprietors offers reward of five
hundred dollars to any one who will pick it
through the key hole using whatever instrument
he pleases, ana taking any length of time he may
desire

NUMBER fO2.
Good Sensible Talk.

The world is full of life; full of action. And
yet there are thousands who loiter on the great
race of life. They pass along and leave no re-
cord of deeds to live after them. No valuable
ambition seems to stir their sluggish souls. No
soaring aspiration seems to throb in their hearts.
They ba>k in the sunshine, and shun the con-
tiicts where mind graplle les with mind, living
brief day, and living in unbroken light.
Our young men do not appreciate the privilege
Of this day. They do not make good use of
the advantage which surround them. There are
very many Of them who are nobly struggling to
do 50, but hosts of Others seem to have no amb-
tion. No impulse stirs them The world in its
progress brings its treasures to their very doors,
but they have not sufficient energy of character
to reach out and grasp them.
We see much to regret in society. The young
hearts where lie the hopes Of our country, are
too generally ngloriously idle, or frittering away
their usefulness and influence. Let person
pass through the country and mingle with the
gatherings of our young men, and they will look
with sorrow on the frivolous character presented.
Why so much ll-breeding? Why so much vul-
garity and profanity2 Why so rude and repui-
sive disregard of all the little courtesies of ifel
Why is. their conversation so grossly coarse?
We miss the warm heart-born poIiteness that
should characterize the conduct Of a true gentle
man. We even see those claiming gentty and
responsibility, treating strangers may, women
with marked discourtesy and insult. And where
is the fault9
There are some "good old ways" which ought
not to be departed from-counsels which should
not be forgotten. We deprecate that arrogant
selfish and repulsive manner which so generally
marks the character of young people. There is
no truer mark Of a gentleman than courtesy in
the treatment of Others. Stale slang is no ac-
comrlishment-it is stain. The bred retort
degenerates into deliberate insult. The young
man who thinks he is not "a blood young man"
until he can show how little he cares for the un-
pretending, but shining qualities of modesty and
home simplicity, commits sad mistake. A man
may swagger and sneer at all these sacred inau-
ences-even at his own mother and talk boldly
about the "foolish old woman" but We would
shuu him as we would ruffian.

Bitter Cordial and Blood Purifier.

TNHIS popular CORDIAL, which has met with
l. such extensive sale during the past year, sur
passes all preparations put forth for similar pur-
poses, and prove by its wonderful effects upon the
human system, TO be the GREATEST BLOOD
PURIFIER in the world.
Most diseases have their origin in impurities o.
the blood, morbid and inactive state Of the liuer
and the great difficulty heretofore has been, that
the various "bood purifiers of the day, have only
had tendency to reduce the blood, and substitute
an dcrid iCdtery fuid-whch must necessarily en-
gender dsease--reduce the vital powers, and pros
trate the whole nervous system. This no doubt has
been experienced by thousands, and the fact be-
coming well known 10 every close observer, as
well as to many eminent physicians.
The BITTER CORDIAL and BLOOD PURI-
FER acts entirely different upon the sysem.--
While il acts gently upon the LIVER, sufficient TO
remove the impure poisonous secretions, it acts
also as fine TONIC TO the stomach causing COM
plete and healthy Notwithstanding pure SAL
iva and proper nutriment for ENRIcHrNG the blood,
and leads itforth with vigorous and healthy ac-
ton throughout the system.
For Dyspepsia, Loss Of appetite, Pain or MiSeru
in the Side regions of the Heart, Jdundce, Gem
eral Debility or nervous affections, this CORDIAL
stands unequaed.
Where persons have suffered from CHILL and
FEvERs or bilious attacks of any kind, have taken
| tuininG cdomel, and weak or debilitated-or the
effects Of these strong medicines remaining in the
systeni this Cordial will very soon remove these,
WHICH, IL let aloneJ might rum tne Individual Tor
life.
Neuralgia, scrofula eryspelas, salt rheum, letter
or ring worm, pimples on the face surface of the
skin, and all other cutaneous eruptons, have their
original in impurities ofthe Blood, and this BLOOD
PURIFIER is the remedy, One bottle alone guar
antecd to possess more real medicinal virtues, and
produce more beneficial effects than FIVE TIMES
that quantity of any other preparation put forth
for similar purposes.
