THE AzoREs.-Thase Islands, it is
feared, will again be the theater of des-
titution and suffering the coming season,
ab they were in 1853. An official dis
patch from Charles w. Dabney Esq,
United States Consul at Fayal, to the
State Department under date of Jan.
3, 1859, says:
"With deepregrct have to announce
the total failure of the vintage of 1858,
Ill consequence Of the combined action
of the oidium and tempestuous wealth
er, the destruction of three fourths of
the potato crop, and one-fourth of the
corn crop of this district. The misery
that these calamities occasion is indie
scribable, and many of the poorer in
habitants will be compelled to emigrate,
IS the famine of last year exhausted
their resources"

TASTE RESTORATIVE TROCHES.


THE GREAT SUBSTITUTE FEB TOBACCO.
| I is a well known and incontrovertibls fact
L that the use of Tobacco is the promoting
cause Of many of the most severe
Mental and PHYSICAL Disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties, most dangerous in
their effects, which by entering into the blood
derange the functions and operations of the
heart, causing many to suppose that the organ
to be seriously diseased.
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
tenn, nanifesting itself-as all who have used
the noxieus weed will bear testmoEy--in Las
situde, Nervous Irritabilitv, Water Brash, Dys
pspsia, and many other disorders Of similar
character.
TIE Taste Restorative 7rockes
are designed to eountcract these baneful infu-
ences and have proved completely successful in
multitude of eases, and wherever used. Being
Harmless. in themselves, they exert a beneficial
effect upon the entire system. restoring the taste
which has become vitiated or DESTROYED by great
indulgence, completely removing the irritation
and accompanying tickling sensation of the
throat-which are always consequent upon alb
staining from the use of Tobacco, and by giving
healthy tone to the stomach, invigorates the
whole system.
PERSONS who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,

Ny Wife is the Cause Of it.

1t is not more than forty years ago
that Mr.. L. called at the house of Dr..
B. one very cold morning, on his way
to 1t. "Sir," said the doctor.
"the weather is very frosty-will YOU
not take something to drink before YOU
start %
In that day liquor was deemed in
dispensable to warmth for winter
When commencing journey, and at
every stopping place along the road,
the traveller always used intoxicating
drinks to keep him warm.
No." said Mr.. /. 81 never touch
anything of the kind, and I will tell
you the reason-my wife is the cause
of it. l had been in the habit ofmeet-
ing some Of my eighbors every even
ing for the purpose of playing cards. We
assembled at each others shop, and
liquors were introduced after a while.
We met not SO much for drinking,
though used to return home late in
the evening more or less intoxicated
Ny wife always met me at the door
af!ectionately, and when / chided her
for sitting up so late for me, she kindly
replied:
81 prefer doing so, for l cannot
sleep when you are out"
''rhis always troubled me. I wish
ed in my heart she would begin to
scold me, for then l could have retort-
ed, and relieved my conscience. But
she always met me with the same gen
tie and loving spirit.
"Things passed on thus for some
time, when at once resolved that ]
would, by remaining late and returning
much intoxicated, provoke her so much
as to cause her to lecture me, when |
meant to answer her with severity,
and thus, by creating another Issue be-
tween us, unburden my bosom Of its
present trouble.
~ returned in such a plight about
four o'clock III the morning. She met
me at the door with her usual tender
ness, and said:
"Come in, husband, | have Just been
making q warm fire for you, because [
knew you would be cold. Take off
your boots and warm your feet, and
here is a cup of hot coffee"
''Doctor that was too much. 1conld
endure it no longer, and resolved from
that moment that | would never touch
another drop as long as lived, and I
never will"
He never did. He lived and died
practicing total abstinence from all IN
toxicating drinks, in village where
intemperance has ragged as much as any
other in the State.
That man was my father, and that
woman my mother. The facts above
--is.~I I "nnA;vaa from the doctor HIM
self, while on visit to my village, not
long since.

NEWSPAPER PUBL1sHINa.-The New
York Observer thus speaks of newspa-
per publishing:
The remuneration must be ample, or
the laborer is not free from care and
does not work with enthusiasm. Ev-
cry reader is responsible for this mat
ter. If one subscriber to newspaper
neglects to pay promptly, he contrib
utes to dishearten the man who labors
to make the paper what the reader
wishes it to be. If the editor knows
that he is not only to work for nothing
and find himself, but that he is also to
find the paper, fill it, and send it for
nothing to subscribers, he may be ex-
cused for encouragement. Yet there
are many whe have so little reflection,
SO little conscience, and some mean
ness, they will take newspaper for a
whole year, and sometimes more, and
not pay a cent for it.
