WHAT APPETITE MEANS.

"Asking for" that is the meaning. Who
askss Nature in other words, the law of
our being, the instinct of self preservation,
wisely and benevolently implanted in every
living thing, whether animal, worm or
weed.
Yielding to this appetite is the preserva-
ton of all life and health below man; he
alone exceeds it, and, in consequence, sick
ems and dies thereby, long before his prime,
in countless instances.
The fact is not recognized as generally as
it ought to be, that a proper attention to the
"askings'' of nature not only maintains
health but is one of the safest, surest and
most permanent methods of curing dis
ease.
tits eating without an appetite which, in
many instances, is the last pound which
breaks the camel's back nature had taken
away the appetite, had closed the house for
necessary repairs, but, in spite of her, we
"forced down some food" and days, and
weeks, and months of illness following if
not cholera, cramp, collie, or any sudden
death.
In diseases, there are few who cannot re-
call instances where person was supposed
to be in dying condition, and in the deli
rum of fever or otherwise, had arisen and
gone to the pail or pitcher, and drank an
enormous quantity OF water, or have gone to
the pantry and eaten largely of some unusu-
al food, and forthwith began to recover. We
frequently speak of persons getting well,
having the strongest kind of an appetite, the
indulgence of which, reason and science
would say, would be fatal.
We found out many years ago, when en-
gagged in the general practice of medicine,
that when the patient was convalescing the
best general rule was, eat not an atom you
do not relish eat anything in moderation
which your appetite Graves, from pickle
down to sole-leather.
Nature is like perfect housekceper; she
knows better what is wanting in her house
than anybody else can tell her. The body
in disease Graves that kind of food which
contains the elements it needs This is one
of the most important facts in human hy-
giene and yet we do not recolect to have
ever seen it embodied in so many words.
We have done so to make it practical and
to make it remembered, we state a fact of
recent occurrence:
Some three years ago, a daughter of James
Damon, of Cherterfeld, fell down fight of
stairs, bringing on an illness from which it
was feared she would not recover. She did,
however, except the loss of hearing and sight.
Her appetite, for some weeks, called for
nothing but raisious and candy, and since
last fall nothing but apples were eaten. A
few weeks ago she commenced eating maple
buds since which time she has nearly re-
gained her former health and activity, and
her sight and hearing are now restored.
We all'perhaps, have observed that cats
and other animals, when apparently i'll, go
out and crops particular grass or weed. In
applying these facts, let US remember to in
dulge this 'sasking for" ofNature, in sickness
especially, in moderation, feeling our way
long by gradually increasing amounts, thus
keeping on the safe side. We made this
one of our earliest and most inAexible rules
or practice.-Dr. Halls Journal Of Heath.

COTTON SAW GINS.
Straight Ribs, VS.. Crooked, Uniformity Of
Roll. &c.


Roll, &c.
4 LTHOUGII the advantage of the straight rib
~. in the COTTON I'm has been discovered for
than twenty years, yet it has not been suffl-
ciently known or appreciated by the planter. The
advantage consists simply in this: that the ribs,
when worn can be moved down to where they arc
not worn, which answers the purpose Of a new
sett of ribs. Three moves can be made, which
gives four wearngs, which is equal to four setts Of
ribs So that purchaser having in view prospec-
tive expense, would lose the price Of three setts
of ribs if the ribs of his gin were not movable.
Any planter with common intelligence can move
the straight ribs himself and thus obtain all the
benefit of a new sett of ribs.
The greatest uniformity can be obtained in the
roll by giving the ribs the proper angle the effect
of which is, to throw the weight of the roll more
upon the saws than upon the seed board, and by
adjusting the seed-board so to prevent the seed
when once detached from re-uniting with the roll;
this improvement has been made by the subscri
Der within few months.
With regard to fast picking gins, the greatest
amount of lint is obtained in two ways. First, by
having long teeth lying as nearly parallel to the
verge of the saw possible, that the teeth en-
tering the ribs so much point foremost they are
obliged to carry all the cotton through that they
get hold of. A fifty saw gin with these sort Of
teeth on 4 nine inch saw has gincd eight bales per
day. The second plan is, to form the breast so
that the teeth meets the ribs nearly at right angles,
and thus packs tic cotton into the teeth Of the
saws This plaA is very straining OH the saws,
and causes a much heavier draught Whether the
cotton is injured by al overwraught speed, the
planters must judge for themselves. The subscri-
ber will furnish to the planters of this and adjoin
ing Districts Cotton Gins equal in durable value
to any in the country. Delivered at Chester, York,
or Charlotte, or any landing on the road for 81
per saw. The brushes ofmy gins are covered with
tin which adds much to their strength and dura-
bility.
All orders promptly attended to-.

LUXURY OF KISSING.

Almost any second-rate writer can des-
cribe the common emotions of the human
heart, but it needs master hand to describe
the exquisite intensity aud thrilling JOY OF
warm affectionate kissing. 1t is kind of
test-bar for poetic writing. Few can jump
it. We copy below few Of the best at
tempts we have ever seen. The first is by
a young lady in the first year of her court
ship:
"Let thy arm twne
Around me like zone of love
And thy fond lips so soft,
To mine be passionately pressed,
AS they have been so soft"
The next is by lady, who, perhaps not
superior to the proceeding one in natural
ability, is still far more graphic, and her
production smacks of experience. 1t was
penued during her engagement; but the
time of her inspiration is not certain:
Sweetest love,
Place thy dear arm beneath my dropping head,
And let ME lowly nestle on thy heart:
Then turn those sole-lit orbs on me and press
Nv parting lips to taste the ecstacy
Impaired by each long and lingering kiss"
The next in the cimactic series is by
Tennyson, poet laureate of England. 1t is a
case oflubial suction-a strong case. 1t is
maintained by cis-Atlantic critics that the
word "soul" in the last line but one should
be "sole." This criticism does credit to the
critics and being approved, would do the
author much also; for sucking the sole of a
lady's shoe through her lips would be dis
covery second only to the "North-West pas
sage
"Last night when some spoke his name,
From my swift blood that went and came,
A thousand little shafts of flame,
We're shivcred in my narrow frame;
O love. O fire! Once he drew,
With one long kiss, my whole sole through
My lips, as sunlight drnketh dew
Alexander Smiths humor is peerless. He,
under the influence of 4 kiss is reckless,
bloody and dangerous to all monarchial in
stitutions. To do all he says needs only the
impulse of a "timid' kiss. Just submit
Alexander to such kiss as the second lady
speaks about, and he would unscat the Gar
and run riot ever his throne in single night.
"Choke off, that fellow, you who have
friends among the ladies.
"My soul leaped up beneath thy timid kiss;
What then to me were groans,
pain, or death? Earth was round Of bliss,
! seemed to walk on thrones"
