"CoMMERcIAL."-John Morgan was a
merchant and ship,owner, formerly residing
in Hartford, Connecticut. He made a con-
tract with a builder to build him a vessel
when the vessel was partly finished, and he
had received payment for all he had done,
he went to Mr.. NJ. and told him that he
could not build the vessel for the price a.
greed, as he should loose all he was worth,
and perhaps more, and had therefore conclu-
ded to abandon the job where it was, and
let him get some one else to finish it. This
was a poser to NJ, who after thinking of it a
few moments, said to him well, we'll, you
go on with it, and when We settle I'll con-
slider you,' which to the builder was s~atisfac-
tory. He therefore went on until the job
was finished, NJ. advancing money from time
time. When they came to settle, NJ. drew
his check for the balance due according to
contract; the builder stood and hesitated a.
while, and then said: you know, Mr.. Nor
gan, yon said that if I would go on with the
lob you would consider me- DWELL, WE'LL

ANN ARBoR, November5 s, 1856.
Prof. 0. ]. Wood-Dear Sir: I have heard
much said of tho wonderful effects of your Hair
Restorative, but having been SO often cheated by
q~uackery and quack nostrums, hair dyes, &c., I
was disposed to place your Restorative in the same
category with the thousand and one loudly trum-
peted quack remedies, until I met you in Law
renee county some months since, when you gave
me such assurance as induced the trial Of your
Restorative in my family-frst by my good wife,
whose hair had become very thin and entirely
white, and before exhausting one of your large
bottles, her hair was restored nearly toits original
beautiful brown color, and had thickened and be-
come beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely over
the head she continues to use it, not simply be-
cause of its identifying effects upon the hair, but
because of its healthful influence upon the head
and mind. Others Of my family and friends are
using your Restorative, with the happiest effects
therefore, my skepticism and doubts in reference
to its character and value are entirely removed
and I can and do most cordially and confdentially
recommend its use by all who would have their
hair restored from white or gray (by reason Of
sickness or age, to original color or beauty, and
by all young persons who would have their hair
beautiful and glossy.
Very truly and greatfully yours,

A REMEDY FOR II PEACH GRUD-THE
CHINA BERRY.-Had I been a more indus
trious man and better stocked with matter
worthy of communication to your highly res
pectable monthly, l should more frequently
have asked the services of your Journal
But l must not continue a defaulter, and
will now detail q little experiment [ made
last fall, for the purpose of destroying that
pestiferous insect, "the peach tree grub" L
had heard of boiling water poured from the
spout of a tea kettle, of salt, sulphur, decoc-
ton of tobacco and other destructive aplll-
ances, few or nonc of which had been found
efficient. Remembering that the China tree
is famed for supplying, in one form or anoth.
cr, Il potant vcrmifuge to the stomach and
bowels of the human race and other animals.
I ordered a basket of China berries to be
collected and boiled in a kitchen pot, long
enough to kill the germ of the seeds. This
being done, the earth about the roots of some
favorite peach tress growing in my garden
was removed so as to form a pit at the root
of each tree large enough to contain a quart
or more of the berries and liquor in which
they had been cooked. The whole was then
covered with dirt, to prevent waste by evap-
grafton. All the trees thus operated on were
sadly infested with these vile marauderS,
many of which, though not all were extracted
by the use ofa sharp knife. Since this treat
ment all signs of depredations have disappear
ed, and there is reason to believe that time
ly applications of this vermifuge may pre-
serve this boosted fruit of the South.
1t seems that the peach tree grub is no
respector of ATTITUDES or localities. In New
England, New Jersy, Virginia and Georgia,
it is equally destructive, equally defiant of
means employed for its expulsion. But Po-
mology is rapidly growing into favor in the
South, and I think it would be unreasonable
to doubt that our observant orchadists would,
ere long discover some remedy for the grle-
vous evil. A we'll grown, thrifty peach
tree, of the Pace or other choice variety, In
our climate ought not to be estimated at a
lower value than ten dollars in the market of
New York, where lily favored fruit sells at
high prices, one crop from a single tree of
our fine SIM bred peaches would bring mere
money. If my ministrations for the destruc-
ton of worms fills, I am still sure of one
one benefit from the use of China berries.
Nothing seems to be better known to Chem
lists than that all seeds abound with nitrogen,
an essential element of the richest anures ;
so that, should this vegetable poison not
prove fatal to all the worms, the soil will be
fortified. Respectfully,
J. CRAWFORD.

WHAT IT WOULD Do.-Ifthe traffic in In
toxicating drink wasabolished, it would save
to the people of North Carolina at least ont
million ofdoNars annually! 1t would car
ry comfort, peace aud pleasure into thous'
ands of families, where now reign disorder,
poverty, wretchednesS, rags, and sorrow. Ii
would provide clothing, wholesome food,
and means of education to thousands of chill
dren, who will never enjoy these advantages
1t would save large numbers of our young
men from becoming tipplers and drunkards'
It would reduce our taxes, empty our jails,
work houses, and houses of correction, lessen
pauperism, diminish crime, and cause Joy
and gladness to many a desolate and broken
heart. Every substantial interest of commu,
nifty would be enhanced and benefited by it.
Churches would be multiplied and increased,
Sabbath Schools more generally attended
and the valuable ~pecuniary, moral, social,
and religiousi interests of the State be greatly
promoted.
If any of our public men can bring for.
ward any other measure by which one-halt
as much benefit to society can be produced
as this, We should like to hear it named
and we promise them a popularity and renown
such as few men have ever enjoyed, But as
this attacks the dear liquor interest, it will
not do to interfere with that, though ruin,
and poverty, and shame, and degradation,
and all the evils to which flesh is heir, follow
in its train. Alas d! for the patriotism of such
public men.-Spirit Of the Age.

S"UPER-PHOSPHATE

The FARMERS CREED.-One of our ex-
changes gives the following first rate advice
under the heading of "The Farmers Creed":
wv believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation. The soil loves to eat as well as
its owners, and therefore to be injured. We
believe in large crops, which leave the land
better than they found it~-making both the
farm and farmer rich at once. We believe
in going to the bottom of things, and there
fore in deep ploughing, and enough Of it
all the better with a subsoil plough. We
believe that the best fertility of any soil is
the spirit of industry, and enterprise and in
tellgence without this, lime and gypsum,
bones and green manure, mari or plaster,
will be oflittle use. We believe in a clean
kitchen, a neat wife in it, a spinning piano,
a clean cupboard, dairy and conscience. We
firmly disbelieve in farmers that will not i'm
prove; in farms that grow poor every year ;
in starved cattle in farmers boys turning in
to clerks and merchants; in farmers daugh-
tiers unwilling to work; and in all farmers
who are ashamed Of their vocation.

From the North Carolina Farmer.
OF THE SOIL.

Messrs. Editors: The generally received
opinion is, that Oats is a greater exhauster
of the SOL than Wheat. This is very great
mistake. Leibig, whose authority no intel
ligent farmer will pretend to call in question,
says:
ga greater quantity of the phosphates is
removed in the seed and straw of one crop
of wheat, than would be removed in three or
four crops of barley or oats. The weight of
the ashes of a crop of the seed of wheat, is to
that of oats, as 81 :464 the ~pbosphates con-
tanned in them as 26: TO-"
I know there are persons who will say
ri don't believe a word of it for I have al
ways heard that oats are great exhausters OF
land; certainly much more so than wheat"
One of the reasons assigned for this opinion,
is the rapid growth of oats-their maturing
in much shorter time than wheat. By the
same sort of logic or arithmetic I suppose
these skeptics can make it appear, thai if
one man eats loaf of bread in one hour, he
eats less than another man who eats a small
er loaf in half an hour.
Science has exposed and removed many
such f~allacies that have been handed down
to US, founded only in ignorance and a blind
creduilty-a sort eff superstitious belief in
the simple "Say So" of those who have
gone before US. And the only way to re-
move this sort of creduilty and superstition,
and to set us to thinking for ourselves, Or to
acquire the power to resist their effects, is
to obtain a knowledge of true scientific prin-
ciples, and this knowledge cannot be obtain
ed without reading and study. Yet we
have planters among us-intelligent men too
who ridicule the very idea of book faom-
ing as some are pleased to call it. Yes, even
deprecate reading anything on the subject of
agriculture. Some are disposed to ridicule
agricultural societies, and every thing, and
every body connected with them. I hope
the days of all such old fogyism will son be
numbered in North Carolina.

Temperance Sflatter,
Afraid OF THE WAGES.

~ want your boy in my shop" said
shopkeeper to a poor widow !; l have had
a great deal of trouble with clerks, and
want your Seth because l know he's honest"
The widow was glad, for it was time fol
him to be earning something, and she thought
it would be quite a lift in the world have
him go in with Mr.. Train, and she knew
that he would suit Mr.. Train, for Seth did
we'll wherever he Was.
When Seth came home from school, he
was almost as much pleased with his good
fortune as his mother was. Neither mother
nor son knew anything about Mr.. Trains
store it was in the lower part of the town,
but his family lived near the widows in fine
style. Seth was to 60 the next Monday
morning, and at the time he was puuctual
at his new post.
The week passed away. When he came
home to dinner or supper his mother asked
him how he liked it. Atfrst he said pretty
we'll, and then he didn't exactly know, then
not very we'll ; and on Saturday he told his
mother p%lumply that the didn't like it at all,
and wasn't going to stay. "Well, Seth,"
said his mother, grieved and mortified at the
change, "are you so difficult to suit as all
this comes to? Do you know how important
it is to stick to your business? What will
Mr.. Train say"
"Mother," answered the boy, " the shop
is grog-shop, and I cannot stay there"
The mothers mouth was stopped indeed,
after that she had no wish to have him re-
main but she was very sorrow the case was
so.
When Mr.. Train paid the boy on Satur-
day nigh, Seth told him he could not stay.
The shopkeeper was surprised. Chow is
this" said he; "haven't I done we'll by you
this week."
"Yes, sir" answered the boy ri never
expect to find a kinder master"
"Do you find fault with the pay"
"No, sir" answered Seth; it is good
pay"
Well, what's the difficulty, then
The poor boy hesitated to give his reason.
Perhaps the man guessed what it was, for
he said
"Come, Seth, you won't leave me, know.
I'll raise your wages"
"Oh, sir" answered, the brave boy, re-
spectfully, "you are very good, sir, but |
cannot be a dram-seller. l am afraid of the
wages, for 1 cannot forget that the Bible says
the wages of sin is death !"
Seth left; the man afterwards said that
it was the greatest sermon he ever had
preached to him; and it set him seriously to
thinking about giving up the business. But
he did not, and his own family bore awful
testimony to the Bible declaration. A few
years afterwards he died the miserable death
of a drunkard, and within six months, his
son, in a fit ofintoxicatiou, fell into the river,
and was drowned. Is it not dangerous to
tamper with the wages of sin on any terms ?
