A Cure for Drunkenness,

1he London Spectator mentions q curl.
GUS remedy now in use in Swedish hospi
tails, for that form of madness which ex-
hibts itself i'll an uncomfortable appetite
for alcoholic stimulants. The process is
thus described:
ave will suppose that the liquor which
the patient is addicted to drinking, is the
commonest in the country-say gin,
When he enters the hospital for treatment,
he is supplied with his f.vorite drink, and
with no other; if any thing else is given
to him, or any other food it is favored with
gin. He is in heaven, the very atmos-
phere is redolent of his favorite perfume
His room is scented with gin; his bed
his clothes, everything around him; every
IN )uthtui he eats or drinks, every thing
he touches, every zephyr that steals into
his room, brings to him still gin. He be-
gins to grow tired of it-bcgins rather to
wish for something else-begins to find
the oppression intolerable--hatesi it-can-
not bear the sight or scent of it, longs for
emancipation, and is at last emancpated;
he issues into the fresh air a cured man
drealing nothing SO much rs return of
that ioathing prosecutor which would not
leave him an hours rest in his confine-
ment. This remedy says orr cotempo-
rary, appears to have been thoroughly
etfeciual-so effectual that persons who
dep!ored their uncomfortable propensity,
have petitioned fo- admission INTO the
hospital, in order to be cured, and they
have been curcd.'"

AGRICULTURAL
From the Farmer and Planter.
The Oregon Pea,

MEssRs EDrroRs A friend has request
ed me to let him know something about the
Oregon Pea: prefer to respond through
the Farmer and Plantcr.-I was shown, dur
ing the winter Of 1852 and SO, by friend,
some printed extracts from paper publish
ed in Memphis Tenn, givin very glow
ing account of that pea.
Major Robinson, my ncighbor, having re-
lations near Memphis, requested him to
write for some seed, which he did, but could
get none. In the spring Of SO he received
few in letter, and gave me about 100 peas.
These planted in checks of about three
feet square. Many did not come up--I think
had about thirty stalks to come up. These
grew from three to four feet high, rcsem-
bling very much in its appearance a stock of
cotton. They branch very thick, stand erect
and do not go TO vino. and keep a!l through
the summer, dense shade around the root
did not try to make hay Of them, as de-
sired to save all the seed 1 couId.-And in
the fall gathered gallon of seed. Major
Robinson planted all the seed he had, (about
half pint in different places, poorer and
richer ground, to test the fact which W
stated about thom, to wit ; that they did bet.
on poor ground than on rich. He gathered
about three bushels of seed and told me
they did full as we'll in tho poor places as
they did in the richer
found those planted in the garden
grow too heavy a top for the stalk, and
several broSe down with slight wind. One
of these hang up 70 see if the leaves
would fall of when it dried, the account

tried both horses and cows with this stalk
and both seemed remarkably fond of the
hay.
In October last the Rev. s. w. Jones.
principal Of one Of the Female Academies
at Anderson and son ln-law 10 Bishop Ca
pers, told me that by the directions of the
Bishop (whlle he was away on his confer.
encs tour he had cut down some of his
Oregon peas growing in the Bishops gar
den, st the following times. They were
planted the 18th April, and on the 7th July
he cut some close to the ground, These by
the first of octobsr were as large and as
ftsli % peas as part Of the same row net cut. !
Sons Of the same rows wcss cut again In !

September. These last had grown or 10
inches high. and had q few peas on them
on the 25th of October, when saw them.
Not abundant, however, nor were they full
ripe, and were killed by the frost of the pre-
ceding night.
This experiment shows that two entire
crops of hay may be got from them in this
climate and ifa good fall plenty ofseed may
be saved. For the seed ripencd on those
cut the first of August.
These are all the facts kuow about the
Oregon Pea. And do not wish to be en-
! travigant about them for have no seed to

a newspaper is treasured up in the mind

Sick IIEADAcHE.-The following cure
for the sick headache was furnished to the
Boston Medical Journal, by DR.. n. s. Fol-
som of Portsmouth, New Hampshrc:
"Take any number of drops of Croton
oil, mix them with flour and molasses, and
make as many pills rs drops of the oil used
When the patient begins to feel the sicl;
headache coming on, one-half of pill is
to be taken every hour in molasses, OF
something of like consistcncc, until it act,
as a cathartic; and thus treat the sick head
ache at each attack. If thus taken, eacl,
attack will be the less severe, and in some
cases few doses produce permanent
cure. He seems TO think the Croton oil
acts in three ways: lst, BY increasing the
secretions; End, BY countcracting the an
ti-peristatic action of the stomach and
bowels; and 3rd, by acting as n counter
irritant to the BRAIN

See thou render
AL thy feeble powers can pay.
From the stars thy course be learning;
Dimly burning,
Meath the sun their light grows pale;
So let all that sense delighted,
While benightcd
From Gods presence fade and fall.
Low! how all of breath partaking.
Gladly waking,
Hail the suns enlivening light!

Rise and flourish,

Thou, too, hail the light returning
Ready burning
Be the incense Of thy powers;
For the night is safely ended
God hath tended,
With his care, thy helpless hours.
Pray that he may prosper ever
Each endeavor,
When thine aim is good and true
But that he may ever thwart thee,
And convert thee,
When thou evil wouldst pursue.
Think that He thy way beholdeth-

Every stain of shame CLOSED over,

And discern each deed of sin.

Free from sorrow,
Pass away in slumber sweet;
And released from deaths dark sadness,
Rise in gladncss,

Only Gods free gifts abuse not,
His light refuse not,
But still his spirits voice obey;
Soon shall joy thy brow be wreathing,

THE FARFAMED MEDICINE!
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.

TTHESE Pills being composed entirely of
l. medicinal herbs are of a most harmless
nature, while the extraordinary virtues they
possess have rendered them universally pop
ular in nearly every part of The world. The
immense success they have met with
throughout the States is most extraordinary,
owing, it is presumed, to their wonderful
efficacy in the cure of Bilious complaints
and disorders of the Liver and Stomach.-
Persons who persevere in using them in ac-
cordance with the directions, seldom fail in
being restored to health.
