YnIuc OF Arfschokca.

The New York Tribune contends that
the great value of artichokes has never
been understood generally by the Aaneri-
can farmers. They will produce thou
sand bushels per acre with little or no
cultivation, upon a moist, rich soil, and
the roots will keep undug through the
winter, or they may be ploUghed out and
fed in the fall, and hogs turned in upon
the ground in the spring, to root up the
small roots, and this gives the land an ex-
cellent preparation for any other CROP
The same root has been long grown in
all the New Englend States, in little
patches, for the amusement of the pigs
and pleasure of the boys, who are fond
of digging and eating it raw in early
spring. Sometimes they are used for
pickles, but seldom cooked in the North
ern states, while at the South they make
common dish upon many tables.

uosplce Of St. Bernard,

I formed pleasing acquaintance with
one Of the monks, who gave me many
interesting particulars Of life in these
mountains. Their errand is to keep this
Hospice for the shelter of travellers in the
winter. The commerce of the valleys
requires that, even in that terrible season
of the year, the peasants should often
make this pass, and as they are often ex-
posed to the terrible calamity of being bu-
ryed up in the SHOWS, and no man would
keep a hotel on the pass and undertake
to provide for the rescue and preservation
of the travellers, these monks have deyo-
ted themselves to the heroic work. Pro-
vided with company of noble dogs, well
trained to the work, they make frequent
excursions down the mountain to search
for any poor wayfarers who may require
their aid, and the dogs, with basket of
bread and wine under their necks, will
pursue their way, guided by the sense of
smell, and find sufferer when human sa-
gacity and perseverance, would have fail
ed. Scarcely winter passes without
some perishing in these drifts, and many
would be added to the number of victims
if it were not for the devotion of these
monks, their servants, and dogs. A mel
ancholy witness and memorial of the
frightful work ofthe icy monster is to be
found in the Dead house, which stands a
short distance back from the Hospice, as
seen in the illustration. Here are depo-
sited the bodies of those who have perish.
ed in the snow. But the heap and host
of grim skeletons, standing around the
walls, are but part only Of the army
who have been frozen here. They are
exposed to be recognized by their friends,
who may come to claim them, and if not
claimed they are suffered to remain. No
graves are dug in the frozen soil, and the
weather is SO cold that the flesh does not
corrupt, but it dries up and wastes away.
| counted thirty skulls in the midst of the
whitened bones on the floor, while as
many skeletons were standing up-a
ghastly company. Among them was
mother with babe in her bony arms; she
was found in the snow hugging her dead
child to her bosom, and it was never re-
moved. [Harper for May, Pictures in

Trials Of Speech Making.

Squire J--recently aspired to
represent his town in the next Legis>
lature, and in hopes of obtaining the
nomination he seized all favorable op-
portunities to address the million. A
few nights since, there was a caucus
at the school house, when J. de-
livered one Of his fowery speeches,
which terminated somewhat as fol-
lows:

ienable rights of men are paramount

Salt.

Salt is indispensable to man as part
of his food. It is stated that with every
bushel Of -four about one pound of salt is
used in making bread alone. Every adult
consumes about two ounces of salt week
ly. The omission Of q proper quantity of
it in our food favors the engendering of
disease. We read, that when the ancient
laws of Holland ordained men to be kept
on bread alone, unmixed with salt, as the
severest punishment that could be inffict-
ed upon them in their moist climate, the
effect was horrible; the wretched crimi-
nails are said to have been devoured by
worms. Mungo Park Nmentions that he
suffered great inconvenience from the
scarcity Of this article. THE long use Of
vegetable food creates so painful long
ing for salt, that no words can sufficient
" describe it. Almost all graminiyirous
animals seem to have the same necessity
for the use of salt in their food as man..
An exemption from the rot is generally
enjoyed by sheep fed on the salt marshes
or when salt is regularly mixed with their
food. In the States of La Plata, in South
America, tie sheep and cattle when they
discover pit OF salt clay, rush to feed
upon it; and, in the struggle, many are
trodden 10 death. In upper Canada the

'Pray, my good man, what is the

cattle have an abundance ofwild pasture
to brouse ia the woods; but once fort
night they return to the farm of theis 5ow n
accord, in order TO ubtain II little salt; and
when they have eaten it, mixed with their
fodder, return again to the woods. Salt
is used extensively in Europe, for fatten-
ing cattle. In Spain they attribute the
fineness Of their wool to the quantity Of
salt given to the sheep. In England, one
thousand sheep consume at the rate of a
ton of salt annuaIly.-[ Richmond PaIa-

For all below,
Who choose TO fret and grumble
Each has duty 90 perform,
To fulfill an order;''
Do what you can,

And Heaven be your rewardeH
Don't say you can't but strive TO think
That old Webster never meant it,
Or he did, ......
His conscience bid
Him long ago repent IT,
God gives TO every man task;
Then, like the bold Philistine,
Gird for the fray,
Work while It's day,
And be an honest Christian.
Man is Il reaper, sent to bind
The harvest golden spangled;
And mean the sloth
Who quits his swath
Because the grain iS tangled.
Don't say "you eaa't !" we're sent to toll,
Where spades and sckles glitter;
Then, Brother, hoe
Your honest row,
Amid the sweet and bitter.
Don't say "you can't!" let Us while here
Lean one upon the other
Descend the hill
With right good will,
To aid fallen brother.
The clock on yonder mantle-piece
Is picture human;
The brass, in part,
Shows man his heart,
In part the bell il woman!
The faithfaI hands move round and round,
To count the swift hours golden;
Each tiny wheel,
That turns with zeal,
Shows each to each, beholden. 4

And be better neighbor:

But like the ant,
Load up, and strive, and labor.
