only eighteen years of age he began
to preach Jesus Christ, and him cruel

Oh you should hear him preach one
of his beautiful sermons to little chill

Jersey, Licking county, in this State, sends
us the following recipe for the cure of the
Piles, which he desires us to pilb6sh for the
benefit of the afflicted:
Take half pound of new made Butter,
free from salt-one pint of juice Of the Poke
root (which some call Garget). and one co:si-
mon tablespoon full Of Gunpcwder; put
them together and SIMMER the c0m pound oYer
q slow fire until the water Is all cut. Then,
as it is cooling, stir If little 1T intervals, TO
keep the Powder from sinking. Directions:
Anoint tie parts affected twice day, fof a
few DAYS. This has cured uinety-nine out Of
hundred Of all kinds Of Piles. Ii the disease
is not ut the surface, swab must be made
to reach it, if possible. THIS IS often neees-
sary with bleeding Piles. The month of May
is the best time to make the Salve as the rest
is then the most Juicy. and can be easily
grated and strained. But If made in the win
ter the root can &c boiled, and use the tea ac-
oording TO the strength
Mr. Pruden adds: This hiss been q cure in
New Jersey for more than fifty years. and
never known to fail of a cure but twice. 1t has

One fact in relation to the China tree is wor-
thy the attention OF every honsekeeper. A
gentleman living in theapinewood, smear Au-
gnsta, On the Caralina side Of the Savannah
river, was for several years very much ar
noyed by ants. They were so numerous as
to get in every portion IF bis house, among
l.is provisions, IN his beds, &e Every method
suggested was tried to get rid of them. Iut

the time b. had drilled the berries, they had

where we had resided q number of years.
The year following, and never until then,
were we troubled with the ant.
Another fact in relation to this tree. 4
gentleman owned valuable plantation on
Beach Island, near augusta, which had grow
ing upon it kind of grass that prevented his
working it in proper manner, and doing
great injury to his cotton crop Determined
to get rid of it in some way, he drilled China
berries, which were suffered 10 grow three
years completely destroying the grass. They
being Of quick growth were cut down and
hauled TO Augusta for freN ood We would
suggest to the owners Of old fields arCu4d
Memphis, to drill the berries in rows ten feet
apart and they will reclaim from the foliage
Of the tree if plowed in every season..
