DR.. L. J. CzAPKAY, San Francisco-Sir:-I
have used the last of your medicine, and do not
think l shall need any more, as | feel very well
except that have not entirely got my strength
yet, but soon will, with the appetite that l have
1t is just three weeks, you map recollect, since
called at your Institute, with my constitution, as
| thought, entirely broken, and never thought
you would be able to cure me perfectly but tho't
you might be able to do something to ease the
pain in my back and head and strengthen my
limbs, which were so weak that they would al
most give way under me when | walked, and to
strengthen my nerves so that l would not get ex-
cited and tremble at every little thing. Now that
you know what | expected, you may judge at my
satisfaction at my complete recovery from those
symptoms, and the removal of those splotches
and sores from my skin, and the ulcers from my
throat, and the entire stOppage of those ennis
sions, which you said were principally the cause
of my sickness.
can hardly tell you which is the greatest, my
joy or my surprise, for except not having fully
got my strength, L feel as well as any man can
feel.
Enclosed I send you twenty dollars over your
charge, and think myself cheaply cured. If you
think anybody will be benefited, you may put
this letter in the newspapers.
Believe me, gratefully yours,
THOMAS HAYDEN.

THE EYES,
ALI Diseases of the Eye Cured with unfaIl.
ing certainty.

DIR. W. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
DRW. A. SNYDER'S mode of treating disea-
IL ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be
leving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted; and by equalizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor,
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use of
general use. DR.. S. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief,
not to despair of a cure without giving him a
trial. for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope.

PRUNING.

From a paper read before the Gins
cinati Horticultural Society, by F, J.
Hooper:
The principal objects of pruning are
to procure a good bole or trunk for TIM
Der: to form a head moderately open
and spreadingif standard orchard, for
the protection, and healthy, and per-
feet development of fruit
To affect these objects with the
least trouble, and greatest advantages
upon all n~on-resinous trees, the fol
lowing directions are recommended:
|. Begin 10 prune the trse when it
is young.
9. Cut close and smooth to the bole
or limb.
8. Cut, when small, the branches
which are likely to cross one another,
or which are likely to interfere, or be-
come useless or dead, and which, if
suffered to remain, will require to be
removed at a more advanced period of
growth; when very large they would
create too great a shock upon the vital
energies of the plant.
4. Avoid pruning to excess under
our hot sun: let the branches occupy,
at least, a third of the entire height of
the tree.
5. Do not trim when the tree bleeds.
When the preceding suggestions are
observed, | may add;
s. Pruning may be done at any time
when the tree is in a dormant state;
but the best and safest time is when
the vegetation is at rest just, at the time
of the rising Of the sap.
z. Shortening in, or the extirpation
of water sprouts may be done at all
times in summer.
s. For dwarfng and early frniting,
shortening in or summer pruning is
essential, but to be done with great
delicacy at this season.-Moor's Rural
New Yorker, April 10.

THE QUALITIES OF A GENTLE
MAN.-To constitute a perfect gentle
man, the best tributes of the heart and
head must be combined. He who I'M
deed deserves that proud epithet, must
be devout, courteous, and accomplish
ed; gentle generous, and brave: pure
in word and deed, disinterested, phil
antrophic, and above all, incessant and
intrepid in charitably succoring the
weak, the lowly, and the poor. 1t was
once affirmed with a pious fervor air
most bordering on proclamation, that
our Savior was the first true gentle,
man that ever lived.

AGRICULTURAL
HINTS FOR THE MONTH
From the Baton Rouge Gazette.

# p4OLI Az oaLCA 4tOu5C So6SlhC'J
This month is usually employed
upon the sugar plantations in cutting
wood. Few, perhaps, will have much
wood to cut this year, owing tothe fail
ure ofthe cane crop; upon every plans
tation, however, there is a sufficient
quality Of other work to occupy the
hands. The work varies, and therer
fore, every manager is best judge of
what should be done. One thing we
would venture to mention is, brick
making. Brick are always necessary
on a sugar plantation.
Cotton will Commence to open this
month.-Commence to pick as soon as
light, hands will pick fifty pounds per
day. The first cotton to open is always
best, and as the lowest bolls open first,
unless gathered, they are apt to rot,
particularly in wet weather. Has eV>
cry thing about the gin and press been
put in order? If not neglect it no Ion4
ger. Are you prepared with folding
scaffolds? They are agreat convenience
besides saving time and labor, equal to
money. We recommend all cotton
planters to have them.
1t is usual on we'll managed planta'
tons to SOW a few acres of turnip for
the use 0 the negroes during the win,
ter. The seed should be soWn in drills
that they may be cultivaed and thinned
out. The drill may be made about two
feet and a half or three feet apart. Oats
or Rye may also be sown during this
month for winter pasture.
It is not too late to prepare your
ground for winter gardens; in fact this
month may be said to be the most inns
portant in the year to gardeners. The
soil should be put in good order by a
thorough spading or ploughing and
manuring.-Harrow well. The plants
from the seed planted last month may
be set out as soon as we have dark and
rainy weather. Sow again the seeds of
Cabbage, Broccoli, Caulifower, Karl,
savoys, Brussels sprouts, Celery and
Endive, Sow Turnips and Mustard
seeds several times during the month.
Plant a few Irish Potatoes. Sow Rad
ish, Lettuce, Beets, Cress, Parsley, On,
ions, Parsnips, Spinage, Carrots,
Leeks, and in fact, all the ordinary
garden vegetables.

P%HOsPHATED GUANo.

This valuable fertilizer, composed of equal parts
ofPeruvian Guano and fine Bone Dnst, is offered
10 Planters as an article in every way superior and
far more lasting than Guano used by itself. Its an
established fact that Gnano lacks PHOSPHATE OF
LIME. and also that one haifof lis fertilizing quail
ties are dissipated in the arr, which IS plainly TO be
perceived by the strong alnmohical smell constant
ly emitted by it until its strength is gone. Bone
dust is nothing more than Phosphate Of Lime, and
this. besides being a strong and valuable manure,
fixes the ammonia in the Guano, and retains ituFi-

fertilizer will satisfy any one of lis durability and
superior efficacy to simple Guano.
