Letters TO Mothers.

In series of articles, under this head
Mrs. Swisshelm is giving to mothers
many valuable practical hints, that are
well worth their serious attention. Ii
the following, she shows that she under.
stands how to treat the responsibility she
recently had devolved upon her:
We were not a little amused few days
ago at the surprise of a lady on learning
we were in the habit Of giving our baby
drinks of cold water. She started as
though we had expressed determination
to throw her into the river. You will
kill herr she exclaimed, in alright, look
ing yearningly at her own pale child, just
recovered from "a bad fit of teething!'-
'She looks like dyingD was our answer,
glancing from the chubby, rosy face OF
our water drinker to the genteel, sallow
visage of her well cared for boy, who had
a doctor to help him to get two teeth
The answer was past gainsaying. She
was sadly puzzled, and murmured, true
that's true-but ut-and she could not MAKE
it out. The incident reminded us to re-
mind you, that as warm weather is com
ing at last, babies, as well as other peopb
viii be more troubled with thirst than
they have been during the last five winte'
months. As water IS very plentiful thI
season, there is no great reason why any
body should be put on short allowance
Very few babies viii drink more than
half pint in twenty-four hours, allowing
for waste, and it would be worth while
to retrench household expenses in many
ways, if necessary, to afford the baby as
much water as he would drink. Besides
water Is the best mouth wash, and by put.
ting a napkin under the chin, and holding
4 glass of water to the child's lips, he
will most etfectually and pleasantly wash
his mouth in his awkward attempts to
drink. This viii prevent sore mouth,
will relieve the gums when infamed from
teothing, cool fever, satisfying thirst, and
allay fretfulness. Those who DO not be-
lieve an infant viii become thirsty so as
to require water, should try the expert
ment Of gratifying their own desire for
drink on milk sweetened with sugar.

A Singular Freak Of Nature.

The Editors of the Charlston Mercury
say that they were visited a few days
since by gentleman named R. II. Cope
land, native of Laurence District, S. O.,
but now residing in Hard county, in this
State, who presents, in his peculiar organ
ization, very remarkable natural phe-
nomena. His right arm and hand and
right leg are infected in such "a manner
as to exhibit in every movement the nature
and motion of a snake. The arm effect
ed is smaller than the other, its muscular
developments different, sensation much
less acute, and its actions altogether be-
yond the control of his will. The motion
Of the arm seemed to be impelled by a
separate and distinct volition, or an in
stinct entirely its own. The character of
the movements is shaped, to considera-
bic extent by external circumstances at
any sudden noise, startling appearance

self into coil-the head darting from
coil as if in the act of striking; at other the
times the arm and hand have the move
ment of snake under full headway max
ing his escape, the limb preserving the
peculiar tortuous motion of the reptile.
At such times the rapidity Of the motion
is truly astonishing, The action of the
affected part is continuous. The mucles
are never entirely at rest, though some
times the action is less intense than at
others. The right eye has snaklsh
box, which is not to be seen in the left,
md in the formation Of his teeth the con-
trast is singularly striking. On the left
side of the mouth, both in the upper and
lower jaw, the teeth are well formed and
regular, while on the right side, above
and below, they are extremely irregular
and fang-like.
Mr.. c. is now 46 years old, and has
been thus affected from the time Of his
birth. This is one of those curious cases
which sometimes occur, in which the eff
fects of instense fright with the parents are
seen in the unnatural organization Of the

4 PASSING TH0UGHT.-Rothschild is
forced to content himself with the same
sky as the poor newspaper writer, and
the great banker cannot order q private
sunset, or add one day to the magnif-
oence of night. The same air swells all
lungs. Each one possesses really only
his own thoughts and own sense, soul and
body-these are the property which a
man owns. All that is valuable IS to be
had for nothing in this world. Genius,
beauty, and love are not bought and sold
You may buy sparkling bracelet, but
not well turned arm to wear it-a pearl
necklace, but not pretty throat with
which it shall vie. The richest banker
on earth would vainly offer a fortune to
write verse ike Byron. One comes
into the world naked and goes out naked;
the difference in the fneness of a bit Of
linen for shroud is not much. Man is
handful of clay, which turns quickly back
again unto dust.

BusIIiuS Tomatoes.

Those who love good tomatoes viii tax,
pains to cultivate them so as to insure
them as near as may be in their full per.
fection. There is no other fruit that de.
lights more in air and sunshine than the
tomato. They should have, therefore, a
bundance of room, and the vines be sus-
tanned from falling to the earth. Stout
brush firmly set around the plants, answer
the purpose better than any other method,
The branches have room to extend them
selves as they like, while the limbs of the
brush keep them in their positions. BY
this method the fruit is more fully exposed
to the genial influences Of the air and sun
shine; whereby it attains more delicious
favor, larger size, and comes quicker to
maturity.

The May sun sheds an amber light
On new leaved wood and lawns between
But she who, with a smile more bright,
Welcomed and watched the springing
green,
Is in her grave.
Low in her grave.
The fair white blossoms Of the wood
In groups beside the pathway stand;
But one, the gentle and the good,
Who cropped them with fairer hand,
Is in her grave,
Low in her grave.
Upon the woodlands morning airs
The small birds mingled notes are flung;
Butshe whose voice, more sweetthan theirs,
Once bade me listen while they sung,
Is in her grave,
Low in her grave.
That music on the early year
Brings tears Of anguish to my eyes;
Ny heart aches when the flowers appear,
For when l think of her who lies
Within her grave,
Low in her grave,

In Awful Monster.

CROSS OF THE MAN, DOG, HOG, AND COW,
We saw this morning the dead body OF
one Of the most singular natural curiosit-
les which We have ever beheld. 1t was
what purported to be the carcass of a
calf-but resembling in its conformations
any thing but a calf The head-which
measured in circumstance, Just above the
ears, 3 feet and inches-bore striking
and startling resemblance to the human
head. From above the eyes to the back
Of the neck it presented a perfect resem-
blance to the head of an old man-the
hair and locks being Of the Silver gray
order-and the whole bearing an exact
resemblance Of what an old mans head
would be were it enlarged into Brobdig-
nagian proportions. The forhead was
singularly perfect, giving striking de-
velopment of what the phrenologists call
the reflective faculties. The under jaw
tusks and other swiniSh appurtenances.
The eyes were large and remarkable in
appearance, with eyebrows somewhat re-
sembling those of an old man. But the
body was no less remarkable than the
head. The monster, was Of no sex-and
possessed the feet of hog-the tail of
dog-and body covered with white hair
like that Of greyhound. Thus this
remarkable curiosity has in combination
some portions Of the human, the hog, the
COW, and the dog, species.
1t is the property Of Elisha Hull, Of
Berlin, who has brought it to this city to
show it to those curious in such matters.

The late Mormon City, Nauvoo.

This deserted city Of the Mormons once
held 20, 900 inhabitants; there are now
about 1000. One half Of the houses the
Mormons left have been removed or pulled
down, and the other half tenantless. Each
lotcontained an acre. In walking through
Its deserted streets started several quails,

The mansion Of Joe Smith is kept by las
wlfe; once his widow, but now again a
wife-of another and a live man-as a
tavern. Between this mansion and the
remains Of the famous hotel, which was
abandoned after its walls had reached
the second story; the walls are Of the fine
pressed brick, with marble door-sills and
caps. Joe's storehouse is also standing.
The Masonic Hall is fine brick building
three stories high. | am told that all the
Mormons were masons. Their lodge
was under the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge of the State Of Illinois. Smith, l
am told, initiated some Of the mothers in
church, when the charter was taken from
them and the lodge closed. The front
wall, and the one next to it, which formed
the vestibule, are all that are left stand

GOLD DoLLARs.-The Philadelphia
Public Ledger gives the following caution
to those who may chance to handle the
little jokers.' Split gold dollar pieces
are rapidly multiplying, and caution can
not be too often repeated to be on the look
out for them. The piece, by some fine
and ingenious machinery, is split in two,
about onehalf of the coin extracted, and
the plundered sides very nicely stuck to-
gether again, the face of the piece not at
all SCARED or injured. A little care viii
readily detect the fraud. The milling a
round the edge will be found broken, ,and
very generally pewter colored cement
may be observed protruding from it,
The coin, too, is thin in the middle,
