RHEvMATIsM.


This severe and painful disease has long
bafled the skill Of thousands Of our most eel
ebratcd physicians Time and money have
been wnsted In futile endeavors to obtain
some embrocation that would perform cure:
but all have failed except HuSr's LMnrs1,
and that has been successful in almost every
instance In which it has been employed.
Rheumatism arises from different causes
but most generally proceeds from colds, expo
sure to the weather, aud sleeping In damp

plant should avoid remaining In damp places
too long. Reader, if you have the rheuma

Of that remedy, so celebrated under the name
of HUsT's LNMEsr, without delay, and apply
it thoroughly to the parts affected, and pain
will vanish.
DIsKAsE OF THE sPMR.
The vartebra Of the human system is liable,
from colds, strains and external injuries, TO
be drawn out of shape, sometimes contracting
so as to bend the body completely double,
and then again will take curve, distorting
the body, making hideous form.
A STITCH IN THE BACK
is caused by a sudden wrenching Of the spine,
and produces violent and acute pains, making
il very difficult for the person TO move. II
should not be neglected, rs the curvature Of
the spine is often brought on by a neglect Of
this common complaint
WEAKNESS OF THE ANKLES.
Strain. aud long continued pains, cold, and

FALL TURNIPS.

This is an important crop, and it should
not be overlooked by farmers. A sufficient
quantity of Fall Turnips can generally be OBJ
tanned from headlands, moist places in corn
fields, when the crop of corn is thin; and
generally among corn when its growth is not
too large and the crop is not planted too
closely, From the Goth July to the 18th
August is the best time to sow. If the land
is plowed ten days before sowing, the better,
as the turnip fly is by that means destroyed.
The ground should be well prepared and ma
nnred with guano or superphosphate of lime.
The Purple Top Turnp is in our Judgment
decidedly the best, and if the seed be drilled
in rows thirty inches apart, and the plants
thinned out to six inches apart an abundant
crop of fine large turnips may be calculated
on.-Germantown Telegraph.

HAY AND HAY-MAKlNG,

Those who advise cutting hay when the
seed is fully formed, bring forth as an argu-
ment in favor of the practice, the fact that
hay made from ripe grass yields the greatest
amount Of extract when boiled, and must
therefore contain most nutriment, but it is
now shown that the boiling very imperfecty
initiates the process of digestion, and both
analysis, and experiment with the living ami
NAL, confirm the fact that the best hay is that
made from grass cut and properly cured when
nearest the period of blossoming.

ways lively, and busy about the house, or
teaching the poor children of her own place
reading, writing, sewing and praying; still
she does not seem to enjoy a strong consttu-
tion. Last Christmas, after au absolute fast
of three months, she began to take some light

ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES.

Dear girls, like to hear you talk
About your pleasures, wants, and woes
But wish, when ont with me you walk,
You made less noise about your beaux
In weaving knots, man traps, and chains
For misunderstanding all excel;
Such open war and desperate pains
Must frighten more than l can tell
You all admire my fdnce,
And marvel how / charm'd the man
Whom all in vain had sought 70 slay--
won him, girls, without plan.
l dwelt within secret bower,
Where iops of fashion seldom come
1t blooms with many a lovely flower,
BY honest people called Sweet Home"
kept little page calrd Pride,
A clever lad, who could discover
A vain pretender at my side,
Or at glance genuine lover.
My lady's maid was Modcsty-
had her fro m a country place;
She had been taught TO make, YOU see,
A bonnet that would shade MY face
Miss A-a-mode engaged her once
A tickle, barefaced belle of fashion,
Who, after having calld her Ounce,
Discharged her in fit of passion,
She really was an honest girl,
And scorned with paint to feign a beauty
10 smear my face with powder-pearl
She deem'd no portion Of her duty.
My coachman was bluff Harry Health;
lie drove me early round the park,
But grumbled if with folks of wealth
l wish'd to ramble after dark.
To midnight routs, to plays and balls,
He had n terrible objection;
He said they hinder'd morning calls,
And dimmd my fine and clear complexion.
My dear companion. neat and good,
Beloved by all, was Industry
Though poor, she came of noble blood,
And claim'd descent from Piety.
With dusting-brush about the house
In this room, that room, in and out
She frighten'd every fly and mouse.
Who wander'd what she was about.
If she glanced in mirror, straight
Its polish'd surface beam'd with light;
Twas just the same with pictures, plate
Like Spring, whate'er she touch'd look d
bright.
These were the only arts used;
So, ladies, if you like the plan,
just do the same-you looked amused
Yet each might win nice young man.
