DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-

the back and limbs, pain in the head. dimness
of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart, dyspepsia nervousness irritability.

THE Mas WHo LOVED FuN.-The

THE MAN WHO LOVED FUN.-The
story is familiar of a man who took pas
sage in fiat boat from Cincinnati bound
to New Orleans. He passed many dreary
listless DAYS on his way down the Ohio and
Mississippi, and he seemed to be despond-
ing from the want of exercise. Superb
cially he was quiet and inoffensive, practi-
cally he was perfectly good natured and
kindly disposed.
In course of time the craft upon which
he was passenger put in to Napoleon, in
the State of Arkansas, for groceries. At
the moment, there was a general fight ex-
tending " all along the front of the town," /"
which at that time consisted of single
house.
The unhappy passenger after fdgeting
and Jerking his feet up and down, as if he
were walking on red-hot bricks turned up
to fused up spectator and Observed
stranger, is this free fght?''
The reply was prompt and to the point.
at is; and if You wish to go in, don't
stand on ceremony"
The wayfarer "did go in and in less
time than we can relate circumstances, he
was literally " chawed up" Cropping his
way down to the fiat boat, his hair gone,
his eyes closed, his lips swollen, and his
face generally mapped out, he sat HIM
self down ON chicken coop and thus solil-
oquized.
$50 this is Na-po-le on, is it9 Upon
my word, it's lively place, and the only
one at which l have had any fun since l
left home"
Insensible as the man was to his wounds
and bruises, we think we once met with a
more striking example of half horse, half
alligator, fellow, who by some accident, was
cut up by some twenty dirk knife wounds
at least some of which, according to his
statements, ''reached into the hollow -
On our sympathics with his deplorable
condition, be cut us short by remarking
:" Stranger, don't be alarmed about these
few scratches--Ive got mighty healing
fesh?"

SOUND DocTRINE.-Rev. E. H. Cha
pin, IN recent discourse from his own
pulpit, declared that he honored first of
all the man who came out boldly for the

out openly and bravely for the wrong ;
while he despised as the meanest of men
he who would not commit himselft either,
but was forever trying to dodge between

which may be productive of great results
Gommonfort, pressed on every side, and fearing
that he will in the end be compelled to succumb
to the church, which is at open war with him,

as HE RICH. MANY sigh is heard
many heart is broken-many a life is
rendered miserable by the terrible infatu-
alton which parents often manifest in
choosing life companion for their daugh-
ters. How is it possible for happiness to
result from the union of two principles so
diametrically opposed to each other in
point, as much as virtue is to vice? How
eften is the first question which is asked
respecting the suitor Of the daughter,
this is he rich ?'
SIS he rich ?"-yes, he abounds in
wealth; but does that afford an evidence
that he will make kind and affectonate
husband?
''Is he rich?' yes, his clothes are pur-
pie, and fine linen, and he fares sumptu-
ously every day but can you infer from
this that he is virtuous?
{" Is he rich yes, he has thousands
floating on every ocean; but do not rich
es take to themselves wings and fly away?
VIII you consent that your daughter
should marry man that has nothing to
recommend him but his wealth? All, be-
ware; the gilded bait sometimes covers the
barbed hook. Ask not then, q Is he rich ?'
but sis he virtuous?" Ask not if he has
wealth, but if he has honor-and do not
sacrifice your daughters happiness for
money.

This grows out of the fact that none try to show
their spite in this way but the kind of people
who imagine that the world rests on their

Corn AND CoTToN.-Recent investigations,
says the Boston Courier, show that the Indian
corn crop is of more value than any other agri-
culture of corn has wonderfully increased of
late years. its ratio of increase being far great
er than any other product. The cotton crop of
1851 was 927 900 Of pounds, valued at
SIP, 900, while the corn crop of 1850 was
590,oo0,ooO bushels which, at the lowest posi-
BILE price at which it can be estimated, is of far
greater value than the cotton crop.

The Song Of the Sea Shell.

You stopped and picked wreathed shell
Beside the shining sea-
This little shell, when am gone,
Will whisper still of men
kissed your hands upon the sands,
For you were kind to mel
hold the shell against my ear,
And hear its hollow roar;
1t speaks to me about the sea,
But speaks of you no more!
/ pace the sands and wiring my hands,
For you are kind no more!
To Tyrants.
Go, still the heaving oceans roar,
Co. chain the viewless wind,
Then upward with the eagle soar,
Till earth is left behind
Pluck each bright star that shines on high
And quench the sun in night,
Roll up the beauteous azure sky,
Then downward bend thy flight;
And when thou hast the ocean stilled,
When thou hast chained the wind,
When sun and stars are quenched in night
Then turn to .fetter mind.

The cuttings have been made with a great deal
of care, ami several planters who examined those
