Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer large part OF
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun IS below
the horizon this vapor fingers the earth's sr
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison the internal siscera and excreting organs
of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails TO
secrete not only this virus, but also the lilc from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circustion, and produce violent eonstitu-
.ional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
.lisordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
canisin, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
.nfision concentrates the whole blood Of the body
the internal excretorics force them to cast it
put. The blood leaves the surface, and rashcs 70
he central organs with congestive violence. This
the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abadons the attempt
exhausted and waits for the recovery OF strength
to repeat -le hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysrns of FEvER AND AGuB.
Such constitutional disorder win OF course uadcr-

youth and maid, one winter night,
Were sitting in the corner;
His name, we're told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maiden said,
Beside the young man sitting;
Her cheeks were flushed rosy red,
Her eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could heTguess what thoughts Of him
Were to her bosom Rocking,
As her fair fingers, swift and slim,
Flew round and round the stocking.
While as for Joshua, bashful youth,
His words grew few and fewer;
Though all the time. to tell the truth,
His chair edged nearer to her.
Meanwhile her ball of yarn gave out.
She knit so fast and steady
And he must give his aid, no doubt,
To get another ready.
He held the skein; of course the thread
Got tangled, snarled aud twisted;
Have Patience!" cried the artless maid,
To him who her assisted
Good chance was this for tongue-tied churl
To shorten all palaver;
a Have Patience" cried he. dearest girl
And may really have her?"
The deed was done no more that night,
Clicked needless In the corner
And she is Mrs. Joshua White,
That once was Patience Warner.

.Butter Making.


There may be many ways to make
good butter, but there is one way that
will never fail. Have everything that
pertains to it sweet and clean. In sum-
mer, a good, cool, dry cellar is very
essential. Place the milk in pans in
the middle of the cellar, on shelf, not
too close together, nor, admitting, in
warm weather, nor indeed at any time,
too much air. Pans that are much the
largest at the top are best, and those
that hold from four six quarts are suffi-
GENTLY large. Invariably skim the
milk before it is loppered. 1t is. best
to be skinned as soon as sour, which
can be done in tin cream tub, with
tight lid, which will hold as much as
you can churn at time, and which
should be kept on the cellar bottom.
The best butter is that when the cream
does not stand too long before being
churned. 1t should be churned every
other day, at farthest. Let the churn
In warm weather be rinsed with cold
water, and set in cold water while
churning. Boiling water should be
taken to rinse the churn when it is cold,
and the temperature will admit, before
cream is put in for churning. The
best butter we have ever eaten, has
been when the up and down churn has
been used.
When the butter has sufficiently come
take up in tray OF bowl, work out the
buttermilk, and then pour over pure
cold water, working it through that,
pour it off, and add fine salt--an ounce
to pound. When this is thoroughly
incorporated, set it in cool place, I'M
til the morrow, when it should be
worked with ladle until the butter
milk is separated, but not until it is
greasy, when it is ready for packing
Keep the firkin covered with thick cloth
under the lid, while the frkin is being
filed, is all-sufficient.
deem saltpetre or saltpetre water,
on butter, highly pernicious. Butter is
like many other things, whose beauty
and sweetness is much married by too
much handling. All know we can
make butter white and OF the consisten-
.cy of cream, by beating. Hence to
churn too long after it has come, to
work too much, in water or ont of water
will make white rancid butter. A
word to the wise is sufficient.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which ncutralizcs this nialarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
BODY. AS it should, SO it does care this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
jet this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system ia health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently i not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety Of aGsctons which are induced
BY this malignant influence, sseh as Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Naked Ague,
Periodical Headache, Or Bilious Headache, 2,,lious
FeTers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Tnothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AGUE CURE ,,
removes the cause Of these arrangements and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the exere-
tories to expei the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their own accord Hence arises what
we term acclinsatotioa. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGUE CURE %
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the iaSInatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

At the present time there is quite large mum,
Der of persons who will not be trusted at all, and
there is much larger portion of the COMMUNITY
who cannot get credit any where, but are obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
form, perhaps, more than one-half of our popula-
ton and there is no good reason why poor man
should pay more than a rich one; and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising
If the people win only bestow one thought upon
the subject they will at once see that-paying Gus
toners assume all the bad debts or in other words,
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very dscouragng for making debts;
the obligations of the people are very large,
larger by far than the crops this season will dis
charge. Property of all Kinds is continually run
ming down, and how would it be with us in the
event of total partial failure of the crops
next season? Is there One so blind that he cannot
see that in such an event it would take large
amount of property to pay a very small debt. Who
them is so bold to increase their liabilities un-
der this state of things?

verance and no more MAKING DEBTS be the

ION AN ENTIRELY ORIGINAL PRINCIPLE.
SPIn this valuable invention we do away with all
the objections ever made to the elevated Oven
Stove. The ppe-fue is placed in front of the oven,
in fact, forming part of the oven itself, and by
this means we are enabled to regulate the baking
more perfectly than in any other stove which was
ever made. We have but one damper to it. which
has three wings never liable to get out of order,
and is also patented. BY turning the damper
one way, we force all the heat and flame under and
up in the back of the oven over the top and thence
down in front, until it enters into the lue, and
passes off the curvature in the bottom of the oven
which requires the heatto descend, and hugs the
oven during the circuit. Reversing the same
damper, we totally exclude the entire heat from
the oven it all passing into the He direct without
even reaching the oven. This simple and bcauti-
full arrangement needs we certain, no further
recommendation from us. The pipe being thus
located the stove can be set close to the wall or
side of the room with small zinck or timed
board hung the yall; the pipe being so far from
the wall as not to inure it; the stove, set, will
occupy less room than ordinary square or dividing
tue stoves.
A number ofthese Stoves have been sold recent
| w. and have given
