Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and the nm
mistakable benefit conferred on Thousands Of

dies thrust upon the community. have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they
can never forget, and produced cures too nu-
merous and too remarkable to be forgotten.

that any one medicine will infallibly cure

Pectoral does not only as a general thing, but
almost invariably cure the maladies for which
it is employed.

hamlet it contains, Cherry Pectoral, ia known
as the best remedy extant for diseases Of the

their most intelligent Physicians. In Great

Curing Galds, Chsfes, Scratches, Sprains and

One of our hostlers got kicked, and badly cut
and bruised on his knee-as usual, the MUS
TANG LINIMENT was resorted to. and the
soreness and lameness~was soon removed, and
it was perfectly we'll in three or four days. We
have no hesitation in recommending it as a val

We take great pleasure in recommending the
Mexican Mustang Liniment to all our friends
and customers as the best article we have ever
used for Sores, Sprains, or Galds in Horses
We have used it extensively, and always effcc-
tually. Some Of our men have also used it for
severe Bruises and Sores, as we'll as Rheumatic
Pains, and they all say it acts like magic-we
e n only say that We have entirely abandoned
the use Of any other Liniment.

RUSSELL COUNTY, Ala. Feb. LIST, 1858.
In justice to the proprietors, and for the benefit
Of tho afflicted, I feel it my duty to state publicly,
the remarkable cures that have been effected in my
family by the use of the Mustang Liniment. Negro
Of mine had what was called a Bone Felon, or Whit
low on her middle finger the pain was most in
tense and TAafinf1amatio had been
so extensive that the whole finger had become al
most a mass of corruption, and the only hope of
saving her hand, and perhaps her life, appeared to
be to have it cut off. AS her general health was
very delicate, the physician advised us to try the
Mustang Imminent q few days, till she could be sent
to a surgeon in Columbus, as it could DO no harm,
and might prevent modification. To the astonish-
ment of the doctor, and myself, tho pain soon
ceased, the subsidized, and the wound
rapidly healed. The finger is now perfectly well
and sound! One of my boys was severely burned,
The skin was entirely taken off from the knee to
the ankle. The Mustang Liniment was freely APP
piled, and nothing else was used. The relief and
cure was almost beyond belief-but a short time
elapsed before the wounds were perfectly healed. ]
consider it an invaluable remedy, and it should bt
in every family and on every plantation.

mand for the Liniment, we are now putting up q

AGRICULTURAL.
Tnrnin Culture at the South.

This vegetable, like almost every other
kind, requires q different culture in the south
from that which it gets at the north. Our
winters are SO mild, that the turnip in some
Of its varieties, will grow through the whole
winter, and the careful eultivator may have
turnips fit for the table every month in the
year.
For the first fall crop, PLAINTIFF early white
Dutch SOW as soon after the goth of July
as a season offers TO vegetate the seeds for
garden culture, SOW in drills for field culture,
SOW broadcast ; forla crop, SOW the red top,
and where the tops are an object as we'll as
good roots, SOW the large English Norfolk.
The immense amount o foliage with its large
succulent stem, which this turnip produces,
should co@mend it to more general culture,
especially for plantation uses. But OF a the
turnips for southern soil, and southern climes,
commend us to the Rutabaga; like all other
varieties ofthe turnip they res usrer lei' ground;
lands that have been trodden by cattle, we'll
and deeply plowed, suits all the turnip tribe;
but anY manure that is stimulating, we'll tur-
ned under, will answer. Guano answers a
capital purpose, but should be well turned
under. Three hundred pounds to the acre
will pay we'll in the increased production Of
Eoots. The advantage the Rutabaga has
over all other turnips, is in the fact that it
has but it'll disposition to seed in this eli
mate; consequently its roots remain firm and
sweet, long after the common turnFp'Las be-
come rithy and worthless; its tops are also,
more valuable, fully equal to the best collards.
We last season, took a piece of new pine
land, less than half an acre, ,cowpenned 1t
and plowed it every good rain from April &c
July. On the 29th day Of July, we mixed
a half pound each, of eafy white Butch and
Rutabaga turnip seed in e bushel Of plaster
Eowed broadcast, and rolled them in will
a heavy cast aud roller. The ErGt day q
September, our market wagon had aioad q
fine white tErnips in the market, and eoQtin
ned daily to carry them until We had sol
800 worth Of white turnips, tesiees supply
ing a large family; as soon as the white tai
nips were gone. the Rutabagas took a sta
and were fit for the table and stock in OctC
Der; continuing to grow through tie ~tol
winter and spring, keepiag ia good ordt
some thirty head Of cattle, and supplying
large family preserving al tleir good quail
ties until the first of May, when, in cIearin
the ground for a garden patch. we pulle
some fifty bushels for the hogs.
Now, kind reader, what other crop ca

On the bosom Of the sky,
And like fair infants rest
On their fond mothers breast,
And the moon CLEANS above
IL the best time to love.
Now Is the time to walk
Now is the time to talk
When gloomy shadows fall,
And sweet slumber is all
Is the best time to sigh,
Beneath Heavens canopy.
When sparkle bright the trees,
And heard's the murmuring breeze,
Is the best time to tell
The bosOm's nameless swell
To try the ardent kiss,
To taste rapturous blisG.
When fairies heavenly bright
With tiny feet so light,
Join in a merry round
On the enchanted ground,
And no one can e'er tell
Of their dark hidden spell,
Or the music 50 sweet,
Concealed, guides their feet,
Is the time to own the fire
OF the fond soft desire,
To fan the secret flame
Need that / tell its name
Rather ask the maid,
With all her charms displaydj
Rather, ask the bride,
Her partner by her side,
Dim shadow of Earth,
Stained cen in its birth,
Only purest above,
By mortals ~ealled-LovR!
Then let hearts of dull clay,
Prefer charms of day
But give me the might,
When the stars beam so bright
When the Moon CLEANS above,
To talk only of LOVE. J. W. Jr.
