THE HORSE STAKE:
Or, aclto had the deal IN qame of s.

Or, aIo had the deal an a game Of SeUen-up
Some year since, when the State of Missouri was
considered "Far West" there lived on the bank OF
the river of the name of the State, substan-
tial farmer, who by years of toll had accumulated
tolerabe pretty pile Of castings owing as he said
principally to the fact that he didn't raise much
taters and I'M uns, but right smart O corn. The
farmer, hearing that good land was much cheaper
| farther south, concluded to move there. Accord
ingly, he provided his eldest son with good horse,
and suthciency of the needful to dtfray his
travelling expenses, and instructed him to pur-
chase two hundred of good land at the lowest
possible price, and return Immediately home. The
next day Jeems started for Arkansas and after the
absence of some six weeks returned home.
''Well, Jeems," said the old man, "how'd you
find land in Arkansaw?"
"Tolerabe cheap, dad.''
"You didn't buy more tu hundred acres did WI,
Jeems?"
"No, dad, not over tu hundred, reckon"
"How much money have you got left ?''
"Nary red, dad cleaned rite out"
"Why, | had no idee trayelin' was so spensive
in them parts, Jeems."

THE ART OF MEDICINE IN JAPAN.

A foreign paper gives some interesting and curl
accounts of the practice and state of Medicine
in Japan. Their physicians have no system of
medicine, and guided only by their experience;
still they are as proud and dogmatical anywhere
else in the world Many use SHELLS and exorcisms,
and most of them become rich Many plants are
held in great medical esteem, and some roots, chief
among these the ginseng. are brought to Japan by
the Chinese and Dutch. Among the medicines
which prescribed the acids and salts predominant.
When they well, the Japanese drink water
only when it is hot; when they are sick, they are
ordered to drink as much cold water as they like,
and they drink great deal. A common and one
of the most terrible diseases in Japan is the Senli,
a kind of collie, which is usually treated with
bloodlettng in the lower part Of the body by
of needle. Great stress is laid upon making of
these needles. They must be of gold or silver,
without alloy, and must have high polish and
very fine point Nobody is allowed to make them
without patent from the Emperor. This manner
of bloodcttng is also used by those who afford
it, in cholera The poorer classes bitter
powder, principal ingredient of which is the
costus, plant, brought by the Dutch from Surat
The discoverer of this powder became so rich by
its sale that his heirs have built three temples in
Yeddo to express their gratitude to God for it.
Opposite these temples are three shops, where
they prepare and sell the powder. Yeddo has
lately lest 10000 people by cholera.

A MOTHERS LOVE.

Oh, there is still within this world
brilliant, fadeless light,
Which, like star, shineth through clouds
OF sorrows darkest night
Which hovers round her pathway here,
Where'er we may rove;
1t is the light reflected from
A mothers holy love.
There is boon-a blessed boom
Unto us mortals given,
Which gives us here foretaste of
The happiness of heaven;
And when the storms of sorrow rise,
And clouds grow dark above,
1t fingers round us to the last:
That boon-a mothers love-
'Tis true that oft our footsteps roam
Through pleasures fow'ry maze,
And we forget the ties of home,
In sins deceitful ways;
Yet there's charm to lure us back,
Like some poor weary dove
That charm, so pure and beautiful,
Is mothers holy love.

BLIND MEN AT SARAToGA.-A letter from
Saratoga Springs TO the New York Times says:
Another of the old habifues Of the Springs, now
at the Congress- is wealthy planter from Arkan-
sas, named Walworth, who has been blind for sew
eral years. He is accompanied by retinue Of
servants and attendants. Last year he made his
will while here, and bequeathed some s250,000
for charitable objects; among his other bequests
was the sum of $50, 900 to the State of New York
towards founding a hospital for the blind; if the
State should refuse to accept it, it is to go to the
State of Michigan, and if not accepted by Michi-
gan, is to go to Ohio. There is another visitor
who labors under the sad afiicton of total blind
ness-the Countess Vianeuva, the wealthy Cuban
with retinue of retainers.

GETTING TIRED OF PoLYGAMY.-A letter
from Salt Lake City notices the remarkable fact
that the institution of polygamy is becoming
popular among the Mormons since the accession
of the recent large emigration from the States and
that Brigham Young is beset with applications for
bills Of divorce In consequence of this state of
affairs the "Prophet' has issued orders to suspend
the ceremony of "sealing."

THE BATTLE FIELD.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
T'The ninth of the following exquisite verses,
which may fairly claim place by the side of
Gray's 'Eleey written in Country Church Yard,
IS better known from the frequency with which it
is quoted, than the others The whole is certainly
4 "gem Of purest ray serene"
Once this soft turf. this rivulet's sands,
Were trampled by hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed bands
Encountered in the battle-cloud
All never shall the land forget
How gushed the life-blood of her brave
Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the soil they fought to save.
Now all is calm, and fresh, and STILL
Alone the chirp of fitting bird,
And talk of children on the hill,
And bell of wandering kline are heard.
No solemn host goes rattling by,
The black -mouthed gun and staggering vain;
Men start not at the battle-cry-
Oh be it never heard again
Soon rested those who fought; but thou
Who minelest in the harder strife
For truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare ouly ends with life.
A friendless warfare lingering long
Through weary day and weary year;
A wild and many-weaponed throng
Hang on our front and flank and
Yet nerve thy spirit to the roof,
And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown-yet faint thou not
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The foul and Kissing bolt of scorn;
For with thy side shall dwell, at least,
The victory of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again
The eternal years Of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies among her worshippcrs.
Yes, though thou lie upon the dust,
When they who helped thee fee in fear,
Die full Of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here!
Another hand thy sword shall wield,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealcd
The blast of triumph DER the grave.

N. c.. LAWS.

The Fayetteville Observer gives a synopsis of
some of the Enactments of the last Legislature
as follows:
Adulteration of Liguors-It is enacted by
the last Legislature that persons adulterating
liquors. spurious, vinous or malt, persons selling
or offering to sell liquors known to be adulterated,
persons importing and selling such liquors, and
persons selling offering to sell recipes for adul-
terating liquors, shall be deemed guilty Of mis-
demeanor; and on conviction shall be fined and
imprisoned, one or both at the discretion of the
Court.
This act certainly makes it dangerous to deal
in any kind of liquors. except those made by re-
liable persons in our own State; for it is notorious
that almost all other liquors are adulterated The
dealer may not, however, hnoc Of it.
Liquor Dealing aciM Free Negroes-"An act
to prevent the sales of spurious liquors to free
persons of color provides, that no person shall
sell, deliver to- buy for be instrumental, direct
ly or indirectly, in procuring for any free negro
for cash, in exchange for other articles, or as
gift, any spurious liquor except upon the written
certificate of physician a magistrate that it is
needed for medical purposes. The penalty for
violation of this law is fine of not less than SO
nor more than $50 IN trial of indictments under
this act the State is not required to prove the
negative, that purchases made without the re-
quired certificate
Flour hspections-There are not many Flour
Inspectors in the State, we believe, but an act of
the late Legislature may interest those we have,
as we'll as those who have business with them. "AH
inspectors oour in this State are hereafter
"to keep blank book, and register therein the
number of barrels inspected by him or his deputy
each day, the name or names Of the person or per-
sons for whom the inspection made, with the
different grades qualities Of each lot inspected
l,-h th,kk Il lo-l- 1,oI Ill
kept open by him for reviewing or inspection by
the public"
THE SUPREME CoURT.-Among the acts of the
last Legislature is one to change the time for
holding one of the terms of this Court at Raleigh
Heretofore the December Term has begun on the
3Uth Of December. Hereafter it is to begin on
the second Monday of that month.
An Act prohibiting betting on Elections.-
Be it enacted, &C., That any person who shall
bet or wager any money, Or other thing of value,
upon any election held in this State, shall be
guilty Of misdemeanor, and on conviction shall
be fined or imprisoned at the discretion of the
Court
