A SENSIBLE REoIPE.-For low spirits we
recommend clear conscience, fresh air, lots of
exercise, and taste for music. "And it
came to pass when the evil spirit was upon
Saul that David took harp and played with
his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was
well, and the evil spirit departed from him."
In treating diseases of the mind, music is not
sufficiently valued. In raising the heart
above despair, an old violin is worth four doc
tors and two apothecary shops. Try it, ye
gloomy, selfcondemning saints-it will give
a healthful glow to your stagnant blood.

IIOW III " lNlSH "A DAUGHTER.-FO or
the attainment of this end, Punch gives the
the following directions:
l. Be always telling her how pretty she
is.
2. Instill into her mind a proper love of
dress.
3. Accustom her to SO much pleasure that
she is never happy at home.
4. Allow her to read nothing but novels.
5. Teach her all the accomplishments, but
none of the utilities of life.
"6. Keep her in the darkest ignorance of
the mysteries of housekeeping.
7. Initiate her into the principle that it is
vulgar to do anything for herself.
s. To strengthen the latter belief, let her
have a ladys maid
9. And lastly, having given her such an ed
ucation, marry her to clerk in the Treasu-
ry, upon 975 year, or to an ensign that is
going out to India.
If, with the above careful training, your
daughter is not finished, you may be sure it
is no fault of yours, and you must look upon
her escape as nothing short of miracle.

Following an unhealthy occupation because
money can be made by it.
9. Tempting the appetite with bitters and
niceties, when the stomach plainly says NO,
and forcing food into it when nature does not
demand, and even rejects it. Commanding
between meals.
TO- Contriving to keep in continual wor-
ry about something or nothing Giving way
to fits of anger.
II. Being irregular in our habits of eating
and sleeping. Going to bed at midnight and
getting up at noon. Eating too much, too
many different kinds of food, and that which
is too highly seasoned
II. Neglectng to take the proper care of
ourselves, and not applying for medical ad-
vice when disease first appears. Taking Gel
ebrated quack medicines to degree of max
ing a drug shop of the body.
The above causes produce more sickness,
suffering and death than all epidemics, mala-
ria and contagion, combined with war, pesti-
lence and famine. Nearly all who have at
tained to an old age have been remarkable
for equanimity of temper, correct habits of
diet, drink and rest--for temperance, and
cheerfulness, and for morality. Physical pun
ishment is sure to visit the transgressor of
natures laws. All commit suicide and cut
of many years of their natural life who do
not observe the means of preventing disease
and preserving health.

Experiment in Fnliins Wheat. |

EApefiHe3l In tuliing Wheat.
A Irac.iell farmer in this Sac
has sent to one of our run,! pspers
two samples Of wheat of the same
kind, grown in the same field, but
cut at different times. He states
that one s1mple was cut on The
10th of July last, in green state,
when the crush ] grain had the ap-
reafance Of thick dough; the other
simple was cut SIX Gays E.t r in ripe
state, the ears dropping, and the grain
firm end hard. Both s;mples re-
NAMED IN stack until the 18th Of
October. When the grain was thresh-
Cd, it was found that the green cut
portion was equally dry with the 9TH
er; bat besides that, the green cut
grain weighed twenty-eight ounces
per bushel more than that which was
allowed to stand until it was quite
ripe, and the former has been also
found TO produce a better sample of
flour wish one-tw lfIh less bran.
1--WE have any doubling readers,
here is an experiment easily to be
tested. Agricultural newspapers
have for anumbsr of years urged far
mers to cut their grain before it is
fully ripe aud hard; but We believe
the number who have adopted this
plan is limited in comparison with
the whole frming community. Be
sides the advantage in heavier grain,
We think all will agree with us that
it is a great advantage in a wet har-
vest, allowing longer period to get
in grain. Most of our readers will
doubtlessly remember that last sum-
mer, just es the grain was beginning
to color, We had most delightful and
dry weather; and just as the grain was
dead-ripe, and the customary time for
harvest was on.hand, the rains set in
and continued for month OF more,
and The wheat was AL more or less
injured Those farmers who took adj
vantage Of the plan of cutting ia a
soft state, had their grain housed be-
fore the wet weather, and of course
could command the highest price for
their perfect wheat Thousands Of
dollars in the aggregate might have
been saved to the farmers of this
country, if they had taken "Time
by The forelock,'' instead of letting
Time drive them in their harvest
Have none of our readers word Of
counsel for brother farmers?

A Coop SToRY. 1t is related thut
a bear and its leader lately arrived
toward night at u village near the
city of Lyons; the latter sought sad-
mission into the only inn Of the
place. They at first declined to adj
init the strange pair, not knowing
where to place the animal, but final
ly consented to receive thems The
bear was placed in pigsty, and lis
occupant, a fat pig which was to be
killed on the morrow, was let loose
in the courtyard. In the middle of
the night cries of help proceeding
from the pigsty, aroused the house,
and the host, bis wife and the SER
wants at once ran to the spot. It
was ascertained that a thief excited
by the splendid condition of the pig.
had determined on clipping with it,
aid had entered the pigsty with that
laudable intention The bear, dis
pleased at being suddenly awakened
by this enterprising individual, re.
warded him with q fraternal hug,
which caused the would-be-thief to
cry out so Justify. The man was
released from the paws of the bear,
bat only TO be handed over into the
bands ofjustice.

8 PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES ORA
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sve trial of its virtues has conclusivey shown with
what success it acccmpfshes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill but not easy to
make the best of all pills ~ one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, OF
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsiop in the system to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obsuuc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. sBeing purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite Listlessness Irritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action In the liver. As an
sperient they afford prompt and relief in Cos
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative is required
They have also produced some singulariy suc-
eessful cures IN Rheumatism, Govt Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
