HUMILITY.-He that means to build
lasting, must lay his foundation low, as in
miry grounds they erect their houses upon
piles driven deep into the ground, SO when
we have to do with men who are ipsincere,
our conversation would be unsound and
tottering, if it were not founded on the
graces Of humility; which, by reason of
their slenderness, pierce deep and remain
firm. The proud man, like the early
shoots'o a new-lelled coppice, thrusts out
full of sap, green in leaves and fresh in
color; but bruises and breaks with every
wind, and is nipped with every little cold,
and being top-heavy, is wholly unfit for
use. Whereas the humble man retains it
in the root, can abide the winter killing
blasts, the ruflng conclusions OF the wind,
and can endure far more than that which
does appear so Aourishing.

VOL. 5, NO Al.

@The Portage County Ohio Sentinel
tells queer story of an adventure which
lately took place at Cleveland in the Medi-
cal Cellege,'and by which certain profess
ors of anatomy were minus few dollars,
through bad speculasian in human fosh:
While the honorable body were in even
ing session, man brought TO them a sub
ject enyeloped in bag, which upon cur
sorry examination, being pronounced good
was accepted, aud paid for, the usual price
of $50. The students were promised the
cutting up of the subject on the ensuing
day, and the body was accordingly placed
in the dissecting room. The next morning
however, during the lecture, strange sounds
were heard in the room, and cries as of
person sufocating. The students looked
aghast, thoughts of ghosts and hodgoblins,
Of butchered subjects and supernatural ap.
pearances. Some ofthe professors looked
dubious, and others turned pale, as though
they had seen vision, when it was sud-
denly espied that the strong bag which
contained their last purchase OF human flesh
was foundering about on the floor, and
from it was evidently proceeding the
sounds they had heard, which now resolv-
ed themselves into cries of "Murther !
murther! Howly Mother and blessed Mary,
deliver mel Sure am living and am not
dead. Murther! Murther !"
Selling hold of the bag, they tore it
open and beheld a genuine son of Erin,
more frightened than themselves, who
looked around with utter astonishment
upon the scene before him. After awhile.
Pat told them that the last he remembered
of the preceding day was that he was
drinking very freely at one of the grogger-
les and when dead drunk he was undoubt-
edly bagged up and sold to the professor.
Such was his fright that poor Pat solemn
ly declared he never again would touch
one 'dhrapof the crayther,' and the pro-
fessor and students, with hearty laughter
over the ridiculous joke, bade him take 10
his heels.

Legislature will be abrogated, and that the
bad design of the repeal Of the Missouri
Prohibition will be defeated by the virtue
and intelligence of the People.
Meanwhile there is much distress occa-
stoned by the civil disturbances which re-
quires relief. 1t is gratifying to observe
that the propriety and duty of affording
this relief is recognized by the humane
and liberal of all parties. The people of
Ohio will, l doubt not, approve whatever
you may find it expedient and necessary to
do in order to protect the emigrants fIom
the suffering, disease and death to which
they are exposed.
Such, gentleman, are the views which l
have thought it my duty to submit to you.
| shall rejoice if they meet your approval
and the approval Of our common constitu-
ents. Should it be otherwise, l shall still
rejoice, if supplying my defects and cor
recting my>errors, your Legislation shall be
wiser and better than my suggestions.
Among the States of the Union, Ohio holds
no secondary place. Surpassed by many
in extent and by two in population and
wealth, she confesses inleriorily to none in
the elements which constitute the true
greatness of State. Great in power and
great in resources, she is greater still in
her unsullied faith, in her zeal for educa-
ton, in her sympathy with suffering, in her
fidelity to right, and in her devotion to
liberty. These are the jewels in her crown
of honor. Let it be our honorable ambi-
ton to preserve their brightness unfair
nished and undimned.

How TO Increase Your MANuRE.-1f
you have not hitherto done so, permit us
now to prevail on you to take this our ad-
vice; have as many loads of rough materi-
ais hauled and spread over your cow-yard
as will make twelve inches in depth. In
spreading, so fashion the materials rs to he
brsin shaped, the lowest point being in the
centre, to prevent the escape of tie urine.
While the rough materials are being
placed IN and spread onthe yard, dust each
layer 50 spread with plaster, or with pull
vsrized charcoal and when completed,
dust the surface. with either of tho sub
stances named; then roll the yard to con-
soldate its oontents--the heavier the rol-
Ter the better. Occasionally through tho
rolling season, spread plaster over
the yard, and from time to time add
more rough materials.-.lTsricos Far

"Women causing scandalous suites, to
be ducked."
Whereas, oftentimes many babbling
women SANDER and scandalize their neigh
bors, for which their poor husbands are
brought into chargeable and vexatious
suites, and cast in great damages:
"Be it therefore enacted by authority
otoresuid: That in actions OF slander oc-
casioned by the wife, as aforesaid, after
Judgment passed for the damages, the
woman shall be punished by ducking; or
if the slander be so enormous as to be ad-
judged at greater damage than five hun
dred pounds of tobacco, then the woman
to suffer ducking for every five hundred
pounds of tobacco adjudged against the
husband, if he refuses to pay the tcbac-
co."
