SOMETHING ABOUT WoMEN-A woman Is
either worth great deal or nothing. If good for
nothing, she is not worth getting jealous for; if she
be true woman she will give cause for jealousy.
A man is a brute to be jealous of good woman
a fool to be jealous of a worthless one; but is a
double fool to cut his throat for either of them.

Every one her praises spake,

And so thought l I!

Win her heart (!) and make her mine;
Farewell then to ale and porter
Bless me, what glorious time

Well, she looked lovely, felt ditto;
So | told her at the start
All about the queer sensation
Which felt around the heart,
And asked her if she felt anything!
Said she did, and that she lov'd me
More than all the world beside;
Swore by all the stars above me,
She ne er would be another's bride,
And /, fool-like, thought she wouldn't!
Well, to test, I touch'd the motive
Of this everlasting love-
Told her as for goods and money,

Out of the reach of Constables !!

A DISAPPOINTED BRIDEGRooM.-The Dayton
Journal tells story of young man from Darke

given her fifty dollars to buy her wedding clothes,

But when the time came and everything was ready
the girl did not appear; she had run off with some

THEORY FOR THE PREVENTION OF YELLOW
FEvER.-A gentleman in Savannah proposes the
following novel theory for the prevention of yellow
fever:
He proposes to build in the central part of the
city, chimney one hundred and fifty feet high,
having lue four feet square through it. A
steam engine, of say two hundred horse power,
would create downward draft, bringing the pure
air, circulating high above the malaria down to
the earth, to be then received in air vessels SINH
lar to gasometers, and from thence distributed
through pipes over the city and into each bedroom,
to be turned on by faucet, at the option of the
occupant. The gentleman says further that by
this means he can reduce the temperature Of a
room from 100 degrees to 60 degrees, in twenty
minutes, and fever is said never to exist in a
temperature below 20 degrees. lie maintains that
the object would be accomplished. 1t would seem
that the fixtures would be useful only in summer;
but the same gentleman suggests that by building
a large fire, the air could be heated and used in
the manner before described, and thus avoid the
necessity of fire in the CRATES.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 81, 1858.
Mr. John Kettlewell, Dear Sir: have tried several
kinds of fertilizers the past Spring, viz Peruvian Gu
ano; Manipulated Guano, prepared by YOURSELF Tafeu,
from the Lodi manufacturing company of New York
Also stable and cow-house manure all of which | ap-
piled to cotton; and will say that prefer kettlewells
manipulated Guano to all Of the above named used
the Manipulated in the field with the Peruvian,
and in the quantities. about 1875 lbs to the
and difference in the yield in the quail
ty of the cotton In the proportions believe the
Manipulated Guano will make great yield o cot
ton, and the quality will be equally good, the
Peruvian Guano; and it has decidedly the advantage
in price and also in the facility of applying it land
So, at the same price would prefer the Manipulated
Guano. believe the Peruvian Guano is too high to
make it pay in this climate the drought of the
mers here make crops too uncertain to costly
manureS. Respectfully, yours,

WAVE have accepted the Agency for the sale of
w "kettlewels Manipulated Guano" at this place,
and respectfully call the attention of planting COM
muny to this popular and celebrated Fertilizer From
testimony received home and from abroad do not
hesitate to recommend it the most reliable and
corn cotton, oats vegetables and grasses. 1t will
commend itself for the following reasons:
lst Because it is imported Guano, intimately COM
bined to meet the wants OF crop ana so ana not
a manufactured article
I'd Its fine and dry condition, making it ready for
immediate application, without sewing and grinding.
Sd. In production of crop and permanent improve
of land it SURPRISES all other Fertilizers, not eX-
cepting Peruvian Guano.
4th. Its low price.
Peruvian Guano contains 16 per cent of Ammonia
and only % to per of Phosphate of Lime. By
reducing the costly Ammonia one-haf and doubling
the Phosphate of Lime, far valuable Fertilizer
must be produced. 1t has been demonstrated that 8
per cent of Ammonia is enough for all crop:-more is
Injurious besides expensive Indeed many prefer the
No Manipulated Guano, because it contains larger
per centage of Phosphate of Lime. In Maryland and
Virginia this article has been in extensively for
eral years all crops, renovating the old and worn
lands of those States Our sister State South Ca
rolina is large patron Cotton planters give it the
decided preference where it has been tried.
We beg that you will least try this article if You
are not disposed largely, and assist US in
distributing what believe public good. 1t is very
simple mode of application and be applied broad
cast in hill drill, in quantity precisely Peruvian
Guano say from 100 to 800 lbs. per acre. with the ben
