Mrs. swisshelm on Sentimentalism.

All TINT si1G about woman's love has
been said over and over again fifty thous

best interest of humanity. There is no
kind of necessity FOR using the press to
persuade silly girls tina. i, is very 70.
mantle and womanly to- love C scoundrel,
to leave her affections unguarded by rea
son or experience, and drift helplessly
into Sin. shame and despair as an evi
dence OF her unsuspeciing womanhood.
II is not that woman's affections are
stronger and more durable than mans.
We think the very opposite is the case;
and two thirds of the women who pine
or die for love, do so for want of some.
thing better 70 do. Everything c~alcula.
teo to make lovesickness a becoming
feminine accomplishment. is q gres. in.
jury: but to sirew the path Of the suicide
with the flowers of poesy and romance,
IS 10 a very great degree reprehensible.
The best motto 10 guard a young girl
through The mazes Of love. is "Do right,
and trust in God" A girl who has done
nothing wrong has lille cause TO mourn
over the fckleness Of a PRETENDED lover.
Better he should change his mind before
marriage than after.

Tar, A REMEDY FOR Horse DIsrRx.
PER.-Thomas w. Ladd, Of Smiihfsld,
Jefferson county, Ohio. writes the Ohio
Farmer that he has found a remedy and
cure for ~"dis,emper" in horses. He
says:
Having three colts sick with this
disease, an experienced farmer told me
to use tar, aud ho thought that the colts
would soon recover, and tina. those which
had no, taken the disease would not have
il at ali, or but slightly. ] followed his
direction, TO my entire satisfaction. I
gave the colts. morning and evening. as
much as | could readily &c. into their
mouths with a paddle. After q few
applications, the sick ones commenced
running at the nose, their appetite re.
turned, and in a short time they had en-.
nrely regained what they had lost from
the disease. The others never took it
to my knowledge. Some prefer mixing
Ssh oil with The tar, but ] used il alone,
and | believe il to be entirely sufficient.

have no faith al all in the coal tar. now

Why there is no Rain In Peru.

la Peru, South America, rain is IN.
known. The coast of Peru is within the
region Of perpetual south eas,,rade winds.
Though the Peruvian shores are on the
verge of the great South Sea boiler, yet
il never rains there. The reason is plain.
The souiheas, trade winds in the Allan
tic ocean first strike the water on the
coast of Africa. Travelling 10 the north.
west, they blow obliquely across The
ocean until they reach the coas. OF Bra
iii. BY this time they are heavily laden
with vapor, which they continue to bear
along across the continent. deposiling il
as they 60. and supplying with il the
sources Of the Rio de la Plata and the
southern tributaries Of the Amazon
Finally they reach the snow capped An
des, and here is wrung from them the last
particle Of moisture that that very low
temperature can extract. Reaching the
summi, Of that range. they now tumble
down as cool and dry winds on the Paei,
&c slopes beyond. Meeting with no tenn
pera,nre colder than tha, they were sub
iected to on the mountain tops, they
reach the ocean before they become
charged with fresh vapor, and before.
therefore. they have any which the Peru
Wan climate can extract. Thus we see
how the top Of the Andes becomes the
reservoir from which are supplied the
rivers of Chill and Peru.--LieM Mau.

SanatOrY Substance.

As The warm weather is now al hand,
it will no doub. be very useful informa
tion TO many persons to be told what
are the hes. substances for removing Of
f~ensive odors from sinks &c. Copperas,
or ~sulphate Of iron, is a very excellen,
substance for slushing drains aud sinks.
By dissolving half a pound of i, in a pail
Of no. water, and throwing it into a sink
once per week, il will keep down all Of
~fensive oCor; and from the situations of
many houses in all our cities, i! would
greatly tend TO health and pleasure for the
inhabitants of each TO do this. The chic.
ride of lime. or the chloride of zinc, will
answer just as well, bu. these are expen-
siye substances in comparison with cop
peras (snipha,e of iron.) Lime is also
very useful, and is no doubt a cheap de
oderizer, but tits not a very good one;
copperas therefore is preferable TO all
these substances. Blu. there is another
substance which is far superior to either
copperss, the chloride of lime. or zinc, az
a deodorizer, both as it respects its quail
tiles and economy; we mean charcoal
Charcoal powder possesses the quality Of
absorbing ammoniacal, sulphureiled hyd
rogen. and carbonic acid gases ia superi
or degree to- any other substance. Placed
in the vicinity, OF spread among decaying
animal OF Vegetable matter, it absorbs all
the offensive aud huriful gases and keeps
the air sweet and wholesome.
We really hope that charcoal powder
will soon come into extensive use as a de
odorizer and disinfectant. 1t appears
to US that j, can be ground in mills in tho
timber regions where wood is cheap
transported 10 our cities. and sold at a
very n. oderate price. We are convinced
that a plentiful use Of fresh ground wood
charcoal for sinks, damp floors, and the
drains Of cellars. would greatly tend to
prevent disease in many places, by the
absorption OF miasma.-S Scientific fine
