CURE FOR SICK HEADACHE,

The following cure for sick headache
was furnished to the Boston Medical
Journal by DR.. N. S. Folsom, Of Ports
mouth, N. H.: u assI
'Take any number Of drops of Cro-
ton oil, mix them with flour and molas-
ses, and make as many pills as drops of
the oil used. When the patient begins
to feel the sick headache coming on, one
half of pill is to be taken every hour
in molasses or some like substance, un-

the sick headache at each attack. If
thus taken, each attack viii be less Sc

A FABLE FOR sTRoNG-MIEDED WO-
MEN.-The following beautiful fable will
attract the attention by the truthful les
son it imparts
A vine was growing beside thrifty
oak, and had reached that height tc
which it required support.
coax" said the vine, "bend your
trunk so that you may be support tc
me-"
"My support" replied the oak, sis
naturally yours, and you may depend
on my strength to bear you up, but /
am too large and too solid to bend
Put your arms around me, my pretty
vine, and / will manfully support and
cherish you, if you have the ambition to
climb so high as the clouds. While l
thus hold you up. you will ornament
my rough trunk with your pretty green
leaves and scarlet berries. They will
be as frontlets to my head. as ! stand
in the forest, like glorious warrior.
with all his plumes. We were made
by the great Master to grow together,
and that by our union the weak may
be made strong, and the strong render
aid to the weak.
"But wish to grow Independently"
said the vine, "'why cannot you twine
around me, and let me grow up straight,
and not be mere DEPENDENT upon you?"
Mature" answered the oak, 'did
not design it. It is impossible that
you should grow up to any height alone
and if you try it the winds and the
rains, ifnot your own weight, will bring
you to the ground. Neither is it prop
er for you to run your arms hither and
thither among the trees. The trees
will begin to say it is not my vine, it IS
a stranger, get thee gone /; | will not
cherish thee. By this time thou wilt
be so entangled among the different
branches that thou canst not get back
to the oak and no one will admire thee
or pity thee"
aA6, me-" said the vine, ''let me es-
cape from such a destiny )" and with
this she twined herself around the oak,
and both grew and fourished happily

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT ATcHIsoN-
AN ABOLITION PREACHER SHIPPED ON
A RAFT.-On Thursday evening last,
one Pardee Butler arrived in town with
view of starting for the East, proba-
bly, for the purpose of importing fresh
supply of Freesoilers from the peniten-
tiaries and pest holes of the Northern
States. Finding it inconvenient to de-
part before morning, he took lodgings
at the hotel, and proceeded to visit nu-
merous portions of our town, every
where avowing himself a Freesoiler,
and preaching the foulest of Abolition
hereSies. He declared the recent ac-
ton of our citizens in regard TO ]. W.
B. Kelly, the infamous and unlawful
proceedings of a mob--at the same
time stating that many persons in Atchi-
son, who were Freesoilers at heart, had
been intimidated thereby, and feared to
avow their true sentiments but that
he { Butler would express his views,
in defiance of the whole community.
On the ensuing morning our towns
men assembled en- masse, and deeming
the presence of such persons highly
detrimental to the safety Of our slave
property, appointed committee of two
to wait on Mr.. Butler, and request his
signature to the resolution passed at the
late pro slavery meeting held in Atchi-
son. After perusing the said resolutions,
Mr.. B. positively declined signing them,
and was instantly arrested by the COM
mittee.
After various plans for his disposal
had been considered, 1t was finally de-
cided to place him on a raft composed
of two logs, firmly lashed together, that
his baggage and a loaf Of bread be
given TO him i; and having attached a
flag to his primitive bark, emblazoned
with notices indicative Of our contempt
for such characters, Mr.. Butler was set
adrift on the great Missouri, with the
letter R legibly painted on his forehead.
He was escorted some distance down
the river by several ofour citizens, who
seeing him pass several rack heaps in
quite a skillful manner, bade him adieu,
and returned to Atchison.
Such treatment may be expected by
all scoundrels, visiting our town for the
purpose of interfering with our time
honored institutions, and the same pun
ishment we will be happy to award all
Freesoilers, Abolitionists and their en-
missaries.

A NEW WAY TO RAISE BEANs.-A
gentleman in Seneca Fall, N. Y, last
spring planted some Lima beans. Not
being provided with poles, he supplied
their place by planting in each hill sun
flowers, trimming up the stalks, so that
it served the purpose of pole. For q
time all went on well till at length, the
sunhowers growing somuch faster thar
the beans, the latter were absolutely
drawn up by the roots.

A BLESSING TO HER CoUNTRY.-A
lady, now on visit to Paris, Tenn,
has written to friend here some par
ticulars of remarkable and most ex-.
emplary matron of that vicinity, which
particulars have been communicated to
us as worthy of place in our columns.
The matron in question is Mrs. D.,
now eighty-seven years old. She has
had toCeHty-ttree living children, and
prayed the good Lord to give her one
more to make the round and goodly
number of two dozen. Besides these
she has raised fourteen orphan children.
She has educated thirty children-her
own and a portion Of the orphans-and
for many years sent nineteen children
to school in Paris, and their dinners
with them. She is member of the
Methodist Church, pattern ofpiety-
and does more good than any body else
in the neighborhood. She says that
none of those she has reared and edu-
Gated have ever disgraced her or them
selves. The girls hsve all married well
and are rich. The boys have all done
well-one of her sons and one of her
orphan proteges have been in Congress
several others in the State Legislature :;
and there are sundry Colonels, &C.,
among them, and all are highly respec-
table.
We fully agree with the friend who
communicates these particulars to US,
that they are worthy of publication
