Temperance Movement,

There is on foot in Alabama, says
the Montgomery Advertiser, a temper
aace movement Of which very few.
even Of those who seem most intcrcS-
ted in such things, arc aware. 1t
promises more to reduce the amount
of ardcnt-spirit drinking, than any So
cicty which has yet been organized.
1t is not only, in our opinion, a great
moral, but economical project. We
mean the culture of the grape and the
manufacture Of genuine wine from it
pure, unadulterated, "the true, the
bIushful Hippocrene. with beaded bub-
blcs winking atthe brim." Oa Hillabee
creek. in Mallapoosa county, is made
II wine, called "Urica." We defy even
Milton, with his "leafy Valambrosa," to
give more poetical names. This wine
is a Hook, of color almost like the
ruby, rich, fruity, generous. Its bou-
quet is SO delicious that it excited the
admiration even of little child, be-
fore whom bottle was opened; she
said it "smel Of grapes"
We, being judge, pronounced it a
better wine than any we have ever
tasted of American manufacture. II
can scarcely be called intoxicating, for
one who would drink enough to be-
come inebriated, must be a beastly
glutton; while a few glasses produce
a delightful glow, dreamy warmth
that good wine alone, can ever ex
cite.

We read, in La France Med,calc,
the following; Several scientific
journals lately announced a discovery
which will not prove TO be the least
curious or remarkable Of our age
Mr.. Streek, chemist of Stuttgart,
has recently discovered a vegetable
substance which is endowed with the
surprising and singularly remarkable
property of seyivifying the capillary
bulbs in cases Of badness. The expe-
riments which have just been made in
Paris on a number of honorable per.
sons, who had been bald for several
years, and on whom this preparation
has caused the hair to return with in
credible activity of growth, leave no
doubt as to the manifest action of this
new conquest of science.

PRACTICAL GOOD SENSE.

tits related that an Athenan who
was hesitating whether to give his
laughter in marriage to man Of
worth with Il small fortune, or to
rich man who had no other recommen-
|datjon. went to consult Themistocle on
tic subject. The philosopher in the
spirit of true wisdom, said, 81 would
bestow my daughter upon a man with
out money, rather than upon money
without man." Marriages for mon
~ seldom conduce to social comfort
and happiness, and often result in the
natter destruction Of domestic peace, in
elimination, GOODNESS and estrange-
mcnt. And yet the love Of money is
seldom manifested in greater strength
than in the formation Of those life
long alliances where the parties bind
themselves to stake each other for bet
fer for worse" and give their mutual
pIcdgc to stand by and aid each other
amid all the storms and privations and
Dcrils of life. Those parents who are
chiefly anxioust to have their daughters

more than character integrity, enter

cases, lament their short. sightedness,
inatuation and folly, There is hap

How to Get rid Of Rats.

There is a public house on the St.
John, called Rat Tavern. The name
originated thus
A yankee was travelling up the
river during a thaw in winter, when
snow and water were nearly knee
deep. Late in the afternoon he came
to this tavern, cold, wet and hungry
and called for diuner. He was told
rather roughly by the landlord that the
dinner hour had gone by, and he must
waitiill tea. He then asked for colC

After some grumbling this was
brought. The traveller ate and asked
for his bill
"Fily cents" he was told, in
growing tone--"Dinner is quarter,
but a lunch is out Of season, so you
must pay fifty cents"
The traveller paid the bill, and sat
down to dry himself Soon a cheese
was brought in by the maid, very much
mutilated by the rats. The whole
race ofrats received volley Of abuse
from the enraged landlord.
"And why do you keep rats?" said
the Yankee; | can give you a recipe
that can warrant you, will keep ev.

"Ah! and how much will you

be bound he'll never come again."

TnE LENGTH OF HUMAN LIrr.--There
are two things we chiefly wish fu
while we remain in this world--health
to make life enjoyable; and length
To obtain both depends mainly upon
ourselves.
We do not simply die, we usually
kill ourselves. Our habits, our pass
ions. our anxieties Of body and mind
these shorten our lives, and prevent
us from reaching the natural limit of
human existence.
The key to health and to long life is
sobriety of living. 1t is the fashion Of
the present day to restrict the term so.
briefly to moderation in the use of in.
toxicating liquors. Misery and crime
and death we trace readily to the neg
lect ofthis species of sobriety. We do
not hesitate to say of drunkard that
he has killed himself, but we rarely
speak of over eating as a serious or
frequent shortener Of life. Yet the
food they eat causes to mankind at
large more sleepless nights, more un-
happy days, and more shortening Of
life, than all the liquors they consume.
"Oh! miserable unhappy Italy,"
wrote Cornaro, three centuries ago,
"dost thou not see that gluttony is kill
ing every year more people than would
perish in season Of most severe pes
thence, or by the fire and sword of
many battles!"
A sober life implies moderation in
all things. at consists" says Cornaro,
"in moderate eating, in moderate
drinking, and in a moderate enjoy
ment of all the pleasures of life. In
keeping the mind moderately but con-
stantly employed, in cultivating the
affections moderately, in avoiding OK
tremes of heat and cold, and in shun-
ming excessive excitement either Of
body or of mind"

MEDICAL Use or SALT.--ln many cases
OF disordered stomach, teaspoonlul of
salt is a certain cure. In the violent in
ternal aching termed cholic, add a tea
spoonful Of salt to pint Of cold water;
drink it and go to bed; it is one OF the
spcedicst cures kpown. The same will
revive a person who seems almost
dead from a fall, &c. In an apoplectic
fit, no time should be lost in pouring
down salt and water, if sufficient sen.
sibility remains to allow swallowing;
if not, the head be spongcd with cold
water until the senses return, when
salt will completely restore the patient
from the lethargy. In fit, the feet
should be placed in hot water, with
mustard added, and the legs briskly
rubbed, all bandagcs removed from the
neck, and cool apartment procured, if
possible. In many cases of severe
bleeding at the lungs, and when other
remedies failed, DR.. Rush found that
two tcaspoonluls Of salt completely
stayed the blood. In case of bite
from a mad dog, wash the part with
strong brine for an hour, and then bind
on some salt with a rag. In tooth
ache, warm salt and water held to the
part, and removed two or three times,
will relieve it in most cases. If the
gums be affected, wash the mouth with
brine. If the teeth be covered with
tartar, wash them twice a day with
salt and water.
