As If converting with an intimate friend. we
have heretofore recommended Mrs. Winslows
Soothing Syrup for children teething, and we now
take occasion to repeat that we believe it Of moro
Importance to mothers and their children than
any other discovery made by the profession in the
last hundred years A very large percentage of
children annually die during the process OF teeth
ing, and n very much larger number of those who
survive are greatly dobiliated or diseased, s.,
that they grow up weak, both in physically ana
mentally, and incapacitatcd both for study and Ia
Dor. Now, we appeal with perfect confidence 10
thousands of mothers who will road this article,
TO corroborate our statement when we say that
no such fatal consequences as those we have al
luded to, ever occurred from tcething. when Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup is used in time
We are pleased to know that thousands of ladies
have acted upon our suggestion, and have thank
cd us for it.. Still there are thousands of mothers
who read the Visitor, who from prejudice against
| the flood of worthless nostrums that deluge the
country or from neglect, have not availcd them
selves of the benefits of this most invaluable rem

| result of thirty years experience of one OF the
! best female physicians the world over produced;
and is just the remedy needed by every mother
who has child teethng II softens the gums,
reduces Inflammation, allays all pain and spasm-
odic action, corrects acidity of the stomach, and
regulates the bowels. Moreover We assure every
mother it is perfectly safc-no possible harm can

accompany each bottle. Wespeak thu, ccnhden.
| tly, from the fact that very many of our valued
| friends have made use Of it for many years, and
we have witnessed the most happy results from its
use in hundreds of cases. If you never before
had faith in female physician, our word for it,
you will have, after using the Soothing Syrup.

TuE CONVERSATIONS OF NATURE -Apapcr
was read at late meeting of the British
Association, by Sir William Jardinc, on
the progress of the artificial propagation OF
salmon in tho Tay. In the course vi his re-
marks, Sir William stated that it has been
found that one of the worst enemies OF
salmon oya in the breeding beds is the larvae
of the May-tly, n creature which, IN ITS
turn, was preycd upon by the common river
trout Now the practice had prevailed IN
rivers preserved for salmon fishing OF des-
troying trout, though this fact showed that
the numbers OF trout ought not TO nc
unduly diminished, as by keeping down the
May-ny they aided in propagatlnG salmon
As on illustration of this law OF nature. he
pointed out that in parts of the country IN
which hawks had been ruthlcssly eXtlrpat-
cd with the object of encouraging the stock
of game woodpigcons had increased to such
an extent as to have become positive
nuisance. and most injurious to the former ;
and he showed the danger incurred by I'M
duly interfering with the balance establish
ed by nature among wild animals.
There is much good sense in the sug-
gestion. 1t is taking n serious responsible
lily to destroy animal life, without good
cause. Even the birds and beasts that are
deemed most noxious doubtless have their
uses, or they would not have been created
To kill animals for food is not questioned !;
to kill them for what is called sport is
atrocious To see a full grown man, arm
ed with deadly weapon, and with the
most fatal contrivances of civilization,
going out to kill little birds and calling 1T
sport always seemed to us monstrous
abuse of terms. We have no doubt that it
is safe to kill wolves, and we admit that
we should feel much obliged to anybody
who will tell us what cockroaches are made
for. They may have their use, but it must
be mysterious Providence.

MELON BUGs.-The Country Gentleman
recommends the following cheap contri-
vance for keeping the bugs from the growing
vines
A piece of oil CLOTH (the fer the bet
tef,) is cut into strips two or three feet
long, and six or eight inches wide. Each
piece is bent around in the form of hoop.
and the meeting ends or edges are fastened
by carpet tacks to sharp stick over foot
long. For each of those, three additional
sticks are provided, with a small fork
or a sawed slit. The box is then placed
on the ground around each hill Of melons,
by thrusting the sharp stick into the earth
and then stretching it into square or
lozenge form by means of the three addition
nj sticks, which by the slit or fork hold 1t
down to its place. By now drawing the
earth up against the bottom Of the oi-cloth,
all entrance of bugs will be excluded, as
none will pass in at the top
As soon as the bug season is over, these
boxes are folded fiat, and laid away securely
in small space, for use another year,
Old oil cloth carpets, or cast-of carriage
curtains, may be used for this purpose, at
little or no cost.

GRArEvINes. are til ousands
acres of rocky hil-sides over the country
which contain sufliciency of soil in each
of the many cefts and small hollows for a
grape vine. Many of these are now COW
cred with brushwood, of no value, and in
capable Of being turned to a good account
IN any other way. Yet here we have some
of the very best sites for vineyards, which
can be planted with very little expense ex-
cept clearing, burning and strewing the
ashes upon the same ground. In such
places the roots delight to run, providing
there are few inches of soil to cover them,
for they will lap around and creep under
the rocks, and draw moisture and nourish-
ment from the stone itself. This is one of
the most natural positions for the grape
vine, in which, if the most luxuriant growth
be not always secured, there will be IA good
crop of finely favored fruit, and an absence
of some of those diseases that we have often
to complain of in n more artificial state of
culture Here the branches may be allowed
to ramble over the rocks and inequalities Of
the surface and, excepting judicious prun-
ing, take their own way, and it needs no
poets eulogy to portray the beauty of such
picturesque scenery.
