LuxunoUs RAILROAD CARs-The Detroit
Adrert'ser says that the cars ou the Illinois
Central Railroad, for comfort and conyen-
lence, excel those on any other road in the
West One of them contains six state rooms.
each room having two seats with cushioned
backs long enough for person to lie upon
The backs OF the seats are hung with hinges
at the upper edge so that they may be turned
up at pleasure, thus forming two single berths,
one over the other where persons may sleep
with all the comfort imaginable In one end
OF the car is small wash room, with marble
wash bowls, looking glasses, &c. On the OF
poste side of the car from the state rooms is
row of seats with revolving backs, similar
to BARRIERS chairs so arranged that the occu-
pant may sit straight or recline in an easy al
titude at pleasure. The other five cars have
each two or three similar state rooms.

POWERFUL AND PUNGENT-A venerable
lady who resided in a suburban cottage kept
a few hens for her own amusement. In feed
ing them one day, she wet her feet, and a
severe bilious attack resulted She sent for a
box Of anti-hilious powders, and she was
about taking a dose, when the idea suggested
itself to her that nature was natures best
restorer and she threw them into the garden.
In few days she found herself fully recov-
cred, and with sharp appetite, and looking
at her chickens, she resolved to have one
boiled for dinner and her neighbor's son soon
brought in one with dislocated neck. AZ
ter thirty minutes she took it from the pot,
only TO find it as a stone, and she replaced it,
and gave it another trial, with no better sue
cess; and the third time she tried it, until
after two hours and a half she gave it up as
a tough subject. The trouble was this-the
chickens had partaken Of the anti-bilious
powders, and there was no bile" left in
them.

History VS.. PHysIc.-A good story of
Gibbon is told in the last volume of Memoirs.
The dramatis personG were Lady Elizabeth
Foster Gibbon, the historian, and an eminent
French physician, the historian and doctor be-
ing rivals in courting the ladys favor. I'm
patient at Gibbon occupying so much of her
attention by his conversation, the doctor said
Grossly to him:
"When my lady Elizabeth Foster is made
i'll by your twaddle, | will cure her."
On which Gibbon, drawing himself up
grandly, and looking disdainfuly at the physi-
clan, replied:
" When my lady Elizabeth Foster is dead
from your recipes, will immortalze her.n
Bob, by sitting on that side of the cars,
you are missing all the sights on this side"
. Never mind, Tom, I'm sighting all the
misses on this side"

That blade is worn to the last half inch
The boys head reels, and his eyes are start
ing from their sockets. His last hope is dy-
ing in his heart-his life must hang upon the
last gain be cuts. That nick is bis last. At
the last faint cash he makes, his knife, his
faithful knife, falls from his hand, and ring
ing along the precipice, fell at his mothers
feet.
An involuntary groan Of despair runs like
a death knell through the channel below, and
all is as still as the grave. At the height Of
near three hundred feet, the devoted boy lifts
his hopeless heart and closing eyes, to COM
mend his soul to God 'Tis but moment
therel One foot swings off-he is reeIing-
trembllng--topling over into eternity. Hark!
a shout falls on his ear from abovel The
man who is lying with half his length over
the bridge, has glimpse of the boys head
and shoulders. Quick as thought the noosed
rope Is within reach of the sinking youth
No one breathes. What faint, convulsive
effort The swooning boy drops bis arms
into the moose. Darkness came over him with
the words God Motherl whispered on his
lips, just loud enough to be heard in heaven,
the Tightening rope lifts him out of his last
shallow niche. Not lip moves while he
hangs dangerously over the fearful abyss but
when sturdy Virginian reaches down and
draws the lad up, and holds him in his arms
before the fearful, breathless multitude, such
leaping and weeping for JOY, never greeted
the ear Of human being so recovered from the
ming gulf of eternity.

How to raise Potatoes without
Hoeing.

In the first place, we plough the
ground as deep as we conveniently can,
say from ten inches to a foot. We
then mark out with light one horse
plough, two feet ten inches to three
feet apart each way, not to exceed 3
feet at most, making as light q mark
as we can. Plant as soon as we can
after preparing the ground, before the
weeds have time to start, at the rate of
from five to ten bushels to the acre,
according to the size Of the seed, large
seed requiring more bushels per acre
than small ones. We cover about
four inches deep, and if the ground is
not wet, step on each hill with both
feet, to facilitate the sprouting. If
the weather is favorable, they will
be up in ten days or two weeks. AS
soon as they make their appearance,
we 60 over them with a hoe, covering
about two inches deep with fresh
earth. That covers and keeps back
all little weeds and grass, and also, if
early, protects them from frost. The
potatoes, being strong and vigorous,
will be up again in a few days, leav-
ing the hill free from weeds. We let
them get six or eight inches high, then
go lightly each way between them
with shovelplough, and just before
the vines begin to TALL, we go once
more, each way, with the shovel
plough. This forms the hill just the
right size, if planted at the distance
above mentioned, and is all that is
necessary to do, except, it may be, for
Il boy to 60 through them and pull out
the scattering weeds, which will be
few and far between, that may have
escaped the plough. If the ground is
not very mellow, it is well to run the
cultivator through them, between the
two ploughings. We have raised our
potatoes in this way for several years,
and have always taken the first pre-
MUM on them, when we have taken
them to the fairs. In 1852, we took
the first two premiums on potatoes at
our Cayuga County Fair; one on the
best ten acres, and the other on the
best bushel of table potatoes. To sue
coed in this way, it is necessary to
watch them closely. Work the ground
as far as possible when it is dry, and
do everything at the right time; for if
the weeds once get the advantage, it
is farewell honions,' as the English
man said, when the weeds got the
start of his onion bed.-Ohio Farmer.

Home, Sweet Home.

Mid pleasure and palaces though we may
roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place
like home
Home how deep spell it contains!
1t is the source and fountain of all our
earthly pleasures. Home is the only
place which alike is dear to all--the
only place where man, wearicd with
the cares and pcrpIexities Of the day,
can find sweet consolation and con-
tentment. 1t is sweet to sit by the
iire-side at eventime, in company with
those whom we prize so highly above
all others; there we have the society
of those we know to be our friends
Home is the hive in which, like the
industrious bee, youth gathers the
sweets and memories Of life for age
to mediate upon. 1t is childhood's
temple and manhood's shrinc--the
ark of the past and future!
Home! the soldier dreams of it as he
sinks to rest on the red field of slaugh-
ter, when the fierce fight is donel
1t nerves the gallant seaman in his
strife with the mad waters, when the
tempest's fury dashes the seething
foam around his bark, and the strain
ed timbers crack and hcave as if life
were in them. In that fearful hour,
the thought OF home rises like n bea-
con over the swollen pillows Of the an
cry deep, its voices are borne to him
upon night-Wind's breath, and sounds
like angels prayers. And oh! how
he loves to yield for moment to the
indulgencies Of those sweet fancies,
which absorbe both heart and brain
alike. What beautiful thoughts are
awakened in the soul, when away in
some tar-of land, where all seems
cold and cherries, and where no smil-
ing face meets the eye, nor familiar
voices salute the year, to cast lance
at home and imagine ones self for a
moment there. Those who have no
home are best calculated to appreciate
one--for in a greater or less degree,
everything has its opposite, and with
out it cannot exist Were it not for
pain, we could realize no pleasure, but
for darkness we could discern no
light!
Give me my happy home--ris all
that can ask 1t is there the weary
traveller finds rest and comfort--the
watch word ofhomc is welcome, its
shield is 'fdcity,' and it's breast work
is happiness These are the pleas
ures of home; therefore again | say
home--yes, SWEET home.

Marriage.

Marriage is to woman at once the
happiest and saddcst event, of her life:
it is the promise of future bliss raised
on the death Of all her present enjoy
mcnt. She quits her home, her par
ents, her companions, her employments,
her amusements--everything on which
she has hitherto depended for comfort,
for affection, for kindness, for pleasure.
The parent, by whose advice she had
been guided; the sister, to whom she
had dared to impart every embryo
thought and feeling; the brother, who
has played with her, by turns the coun-
sellOr and the counsellcd; and the
younger children, to whom she has
hitherto been the mother and the play.
mate; all are to be iorsaken at one
fell stroke--every former tie is loosen.
ed-the spring Of every action is to
be changed and lost; and yet she flies
with joy in the untroddcn path before
her, buoyed up by the confidence OF re-
Quilted love. She bids a fond and
grateful adicu to the life that is past,
and turns with excited hopes and joy
Gus anticipation to the happiness to
come. Then woe to the man who can
blight such fair hopes; who can treach-
erously lure such a heart from its
peaceful enjoyment, and watchlul pro-
lection of home-who can, coward
like, break the illusions that have won
her, and destroy the confidence which
love had inspired. Woe to him who
has too early withdrawn the tender
plant from the props and stays of NOR
al discipline in which she has been
nurtured, and yet make no effort to
supply their place.

Let's Take a Drink.

diets go and take a drink, boys"
said a well dressed young man as the
cars stopped at Waukcga station.--
And so the boys did, re-entering the
cars with their language and persons
marked by the bar room color.
Take a drink! The young men
were well dressed fools. They have
taken step which brings u fearful
retribution. Years hence a thousand
woes will blossom in the footprints
now made in young life. A false
light gldes the deadly miasma which
dogs their footsteps. They see not the
smoking alter towards which they are
tending. A host of shadowy phantoms
of vice and crime are fitting on before.
Red handed murder laughs at their fol-
ly, and death is in waiting at the fresh
and opened grave. There are tears
to shed by those who at this hour
dream not Of the sorrow which these
false steps shall bring upon them.
Take a drink! All the uncounted
hosts of drunkards whose grave is ev-
cry land, mark the pathway of intem-
perance, took a drink. They took
drinks and died. The drunkards Of
to-day are taking drinks. Three out
of four orthe murdercrs of 1855, took
u drink. Their steps were toward the
dram shop, and then from the scaliold
out upon the fearless waste which lies
beyond. The palsicd wretchcs which
tottcr in our streets, all took drinks
Families are beggard by single drinks.
He'll is peopled with them.
We Involuntary shudder when we
sec young men crowdng the deep
beaten path to the dram shop. They
are all confident of their own strength.
With the glass in hand where coils the
deadly adder, they, ha, ha, about the
fools who drink themselves to death.
They boldly leap into the tide where
stronger arms have failed to beat back
the sullen flow. They dance and
shout in the midst of the grinning and
CHASTITY dead, and riot upon the reek-
ing fumes ofthc graves foul breath
They boast of their strength! And yet
they are but the reed in the Storm
They wither like grass under the
sirocco breath of the plague they nour-
ish. A brieftime and they lricndless,
homeless, and degraded. Another
day and the story of their lives is told
by rude stoneless grave in Pottcr's
Field.
Don't take a drink! The bubbles
which float upon the breakers brim,
hide the adders fang. The history of
ages point sadly to the MAIDEN hosts
who have offered themselves, soul and
body. to the demon of the cup. The
bondage of iron gals but the limbs;
that of the dram, letters the SOUL
