The Sun FLowER. The sun Flower is
plant Of much greater value than is generally
known. Instead of few being permitted Il
grace parterre, and considered only as gau.
dy flower, experience warrants my saying il
should be cultivated by every planter and lar
mer as part of his provision crop. 1t can bt
turned to profitable account on all plantations
for certain purposes it is more valuable than
any other grain known to us; inasmuch as il
can be made to yield more to the acre in ex-
hausted soils, with little labor, and with
greater prospect of success.
Its seed is wholesome and nutritious food
for poultry, cattle and hogs, and very much
relished by them.
From the seed an oil is obtained with great
facility, as delicate, it is believed, as that Of
olives.
They are also pectoral. A tea made Of them
is quite as effective as flax seed, or any other
in catarrhal affections. On one occasion, this
tea, sweetened with honey, was of so much
more service to me than the prescription Of my
phys clan, that | attributed my early restora-
tion to health to its agency alone. Certainly a
favorable change did not occur till l used the
tea, which did upon the recommendation Of
acitizen of one Of the upper counties Of North
Carolina.
Its leaves and stalk, in the green state, are
preferred by cattle to any other prOvender. l
have thrown green grass and fodder in one
heap, and sun flower leaves in another, to try
the cattle, and they have even commenced
eating the latter first; this have tried often
with the same result. The whole, cut up in
the green state and boiled with cotton seed, or
a little meal, affords delicious food for cattle
and hogs.
Investigations have been made in London,
of cayenne pepper, which have resulted in de-
tecting its aduItcration with some deadly pois-
ons, such as red lead mixed with certain
| earths. This is really disgraceful to humanity
there are many beasts in the form OF men.

Death Of J0Ha Doe and Richard Doe.-By
the London papers we learn, that these distin-
guished persons who lived so long, (some or
| 800 years. as to be considered immortal, and
who apparently the largest owners Of real
estate IN Great Britain cease to exist in Octo-
Der next; an act of the recent session Of Par
| Lament providing that instead of the present
proceedings in actions OF ejectments (in which
| these worthless always took a conspicuous
part the writ shall be directed to the person
in possession Of the demanded property, and in
which the property shall be described with
reasonable certainty.
Not Bad. Among the resolutions introduced
into the Woman Rights Convention in their
recent session at West Chester, Pa, is the fol-
| lowing: Resolved That if 1t be true it is a
woman province to soothe angry passions and
calm the belligerent feelings OF man, we know
Of no place where she would find a ripper har-
vest awaiting her labor than in the halls Of our
national and state legislation.
n ZealOaS Scott Man.-The VinCennes Ga
zette gives an account Of a man who said:
General Scott's the greatest man in America
the greatest man living, the greatest man oi
modern times. Why, sir, if he and | were
standing at the gate of st. Peter, and there
was room but for one to pass, and the Other
had to be excluded forever, think so much OF
that man, sir, that should say, General, g

Il Clergyman who was consoling young
widow on the death Of her husband spoke in {
very serious tone, remarking that he was zone
of the few. Such jewel of Christian. Yor
cannot find his equal, you know" To which
the sobbing fair one replied with an almOs
broken heart, Il don know, but II try"
Destination softens the soul so much tina
the most superficial employment become ;
burden, and the slightest Inconvenience al
agony. The roses of pleasure seldom las
long enough to adorn the brow OF him whI
plucks them; for they are the only roses whicl
do not retain their sweetness after they havr
lost their beauty.
SlDere Wnader S10rm.-A violent thunde
