Watchers for the Sick.

The custom Of having night watchers for tn
sick says an observant writer. as usually man
aged, is very injurious. Sick persons need the
most perfect quiet. and hence absence from Hl
disturbing and Irritating causes The presence
of strangers in the sick chamber is always un-
favorable 10 the repose of the patient. and th
burning of lights renders anything like natura
rest or sound sleep imposslble.--Next to the alb
surdity of dosing sick person with some nau'
seous drug every three hours, is shat of prevent
inghisre by watchers; aud when two person.
watch together in sick room, their converse
ton or whispering is often worse for the patient
than the disease itself.

Whose FauIf Is IL

Wo~ES are accused by the stronger sex
of lnsincerity and deception; they are re-
preached for dissimuIation and cheating;
are called heartess bypocriles, faithless
tlirts, and designing tratrcsses; but let
US ask who is TO blame even if they be so!
Whose fault is it that their confding and
creduous bosoms are first taught suspi-
clon, but that of men who awake that sus-,
picion and merit that distrust BY daceiv-
ing them? And if, when they are once.
made aware by painful experience, Of the
fraud and falsty of the others they mask
themselves afterwards in lies; if they,
too, have recourse to the shield Of con-
cealment, and arm themselves with the
weapons of deception, are they not in
some measure justified for this, by the
necessity Of coming on equal terms into
the field? OF sincerity, there is little
enough ia the world; but of what little
there is. nineteen parts ou! Of twenty lie
on the side Of women.

~ Among the Peruvian Cordileras,
at the pass Of Autarangra about three
miles above the level Of the sea. \ recent
traveller in that terrific region found two
small lakes, scarcely thirty PAGES asunder.
One of these is the source of river that
flows westward to the Pacific Ocean; the
other pours its waters eastward, until at
last, in the current of the mighty Amazon,
they find their way to the great Atlantic.
So little was the distance of the two
lakes, that the traveller, in a fit of pleas
antry, took a pitcher Of water that was
tending towards the Atlantic, and poured
il into the lake communicating with the
Pacific. So near in their origin, vet a
whole hemisphere apart in their termina-
lion, were these mountain springs. Fit
emblems Of men and races in their COM
mon origin and various destiny.

True ANswEE.--Diogenes being ask.
ed of what beast the bite is most danger.
Gus, replied: "0f wild beasts, that Of a
slanderer; Of tame, that of a fatterer. -
Some of the ancient philosophers were
remarkable for the utterancc of wise, prac.
iical, pithy sayings. Seneca will be quo
ted to the end of time for the practical
wisdom which he evinced in regard to
men, morals, and the true method Of
spending life. The slanderer and the
iiatterer are both dangerous. The for.
mer stabs you, and the latter leads you,
BY overweening conceit, to stab yourself
The fatterer is always welcome, but
there is less danger from the slanderer.
The slanderer keeps you on the watch;
the tiatterer blinds your eyes. so that you
run directly into danger. The slanderer
tells you some truths, although they are
harsh and unwelcome. The fatterer
conceals from you truths which you would
be greatly prOfted in knbwing. The
slanderer frets your temper and humbles
your pride. The-aatterer takes advan-
tago of your WEAKNESS, and puHs you up
with vanity. The slanderer is "wild
beast full of venomj the fatterer, a
tame one" that does you greater harm,
by sweet accents and honeyed words.

struggle till he triumphantly emerges in

HINTS To HOUSEK EEPERs.

To MAKE the BEST BED BLANKETs -
Choose the loDges: Of your wool for this
purpose. Spin it very coarse, and twist
the warp barely enough to have it weave
well. The filing should be spun coar.
ser, and not twisted any harder than can
die wick. Have it woven wide enough
for a bed, if you can get it; if not, yard
wide will do. Haveit thin in the warp,
and as thick as possible in the filing -
When well woven, whip the ends ard
scour it well in three hot waters, and il
you want it fulled, you can beat or pound
it a long time. II you wish, you can ca
silly bleach it in a tight room, by stretch

Suds; then build fires Of roll birthstone
under it in iron vessels, and shutting the
room, let it hang there all day in the
smoke; stir the fires once or twice
When this is done and it is dry, roll the
goods on aroller or board, and take com
mon cotton hand card or horse card, and
card it we'll on both sides; this will draw
out the long ends of the wool, and give
the blanket that elasticity that is so de-
srable. Sew it carpet stitch; tina! is,
take stitch on one side, then on the
other. When done sewing. card over the
seam till it is scarcely perceptible, bind

The Pork TRADE.-The weather yester-
day turned cooler. and the packers COM
menced slaughtering in the evening, the
different houses killing each six hundred to
twelve hundred hogs. Prices are unchang

cording to the estimates Of the packers,
there have been merely two hundred thous.
and hogs contracted for. to be packed at
this point this season, and it is fully expect
ed that it will exceed that number. The
receipts are quite heavy, and all the pack
ers' pens were full last night. Messrs. A. s.
White 4 Co. received in one drove, on foot,
200 head from Washington Co.
A number of the hands engaged ut the
pork houses yesterday struck for higher
wages. They were the hog shavsrs." who
wsnted their pay increased, but did not
succeed, and in the evening most Of them
came to terms.
