LETTERS FROM THE JA1L.-A iureoi1e writer in
the Democrat Office, has perpetrated column Of
solid matter to which Jailer Hastings has fool
ishfy subscribed his na1nc. If the letter is ill.,
tended to Offset the opening letter from the jail,
which appeared in these columns, we must say
I'VE think. the prisoners' letter the best Of the
two, and adrise tue jailer to employ some one of
his own protegcs, the next time be is tempted to
commit epistolary suicide.
1t will be useless, this stupid attempt to make
personal and individual matter Of The course
this paper has taken with reference to Sheriff
Gray and the jail. That officer early committed
this silly mistake, when, ,sinssead of reformin:
evils pointed out, be too rushed into Ietter.writ-
ing.
All that VIC hare ever charged has been sub
staniatcd. The morality Of the ja;l was
lately exposed in IN open Court, aud aired
and condemned before Grand Jury. The de-
ccncJ and cleanliness Of the institution hare
been passed upon most unequivocalIy BY the
Board Of Supervisors, and further than that,;the
jailer himself by his amnnuensis owns up to
few bcd-bugs, while lie denies that they are al.
lowed to propagate.
We are well content With the position Of the
affair as it stands, rs well we could be, short
Of the Measure Of seene, the Sheriff. ofce,and

BRINE A CURE FOR WARTS.

MEssRs. EDlroRs: Having seen in the
March number fthe Cultivator, recon-
mendation of method Of curing warts on
horses, which seems to me to be very cruel,
I am induced TO write my experience in
curing them, believing that warts have
on origin, and are the same, and the same
remedy will cure, on whatever animal they
may be found. 1t is some years since I
saw young man in Salem, Mass, the back
Of whose hands were literally covered with
warts, manytof them larger and seedy, and
very troublesome. I told him to 90 and
wash his hands in the tide aoom, (Le
worked in tide mill) three times day
for one week, and to use plenty of soap and
in few weeks his warts wonld be among
the missing-.He took my advice, and the
warts left him in about two months.
Cows often have warts on their udders
I have seen many. and, some very bad,
which. have cured by simple washing
them after milking, for one or two weeks,
with brine, wnioh is my only remedy, and
has rever failed Of cure.

HOME,

1t is when the influences at home arc
pure and good, that they are sublime
and holy-but when they are impure and
vicious, how wretched and fearful mus.
be the results! Tho heart that carries
fond rccollections of kind monitions, encir.
clcd with glorious haip Of father and
mothers love, has an inward fountain of
happiness, as pure and generous as the
gushing tide from Horeb TO the famished
Children. 1t was this that gave tho inspira-
tion to the author of "Home Sweet Home"
to indite those lines so dear to tie weary
Children Of Toll in this busy work.day world
although he was wandercr upon the broad
face Of the earth without spot which he
could dedicate as the sanctuary of the heart
"IIomc Sweet Home"
''Tis home where Ger the heart is.
Where e'er its living treasures DWELL
In cabin or in princcly hall,
In forest haunt or hermit cell.
"Thc heart gives life its beauty.
Its warmth. its radiance and its power
lis sunlight to the ripping stream,
And soft dew to it's dropping hower"
How careful, then, should we be with our

cords that bind other hearts 10 Our own.

WILL POWER.

TIE power Of the will over merely phys.
ical obstacles, - cause us succession Of
surprises as wepass through life. There is
scarcely difficulty it cannot surmount,
| short Of those barriers placed between man
and the Infinite, and every day, as science
and human knowledge progress, these seem
to recede, and man dives further into the
recess Of mysteries once supposed to be
hidden forever from his gaze. Desires to
know, aspirations for knowledge are useless
without this propelling power. AS we'll
seat yourself in car to which no locomo.
tive is attached, and desire to find yourself
at the end of your journey. AS we'll curl
costly into the recesses Of your easy-cha'r,
and wish to look upon the shrines Of the
old world.
One who has just gone from the world
one of Americas greatest sons, has well,
exeinpfied in his life the idea we wish to
convey. Few indeed, like Prescott, have
triumphed over obstacles that seem insur-
tnountablc. Few from whom the gift OF
vision has been wrcsled, or to whom it has
been denied, have lived to bless and instruct
the world. Out of his darkness he has
made light to illuminate other minds, and
though his vision could not rest upon it,
has written his name high upon the scroll
Of Fame among earths noblest sons.
And,wlile we were thinking Of him,
! with sorrow that his career was so sudden
ly cut short, we looked upou another, who
though scarcely known to fame, has
earned its laures by his achievement; a
man, blind from his birth, who is pro-
found scholar, lucid and powerful thinker,
cheerful, buoyant, hopeful under his great
misfortune, and looking forward with the
undimmed eye of his soul, TO future of
| toll and worthe deeds. His eloquence
holds large audience enchained, as with
mastery skill lie elucidates philosophical
or scientific propositions, or more singularly
still, speaks Of the descriptive history Of ma
! tions and of countries be can never hope
to see. And shut out thus from many of
the kecnest pleasures of life, dead to the
worlds beauty, to the loveIiness of the hu-
man face, the grace of the human form, the
glory Of sunsets, and the grandeur Of storms,
unable to draw for his own use from the
fountain of knowledge, clogged by the
\
the mind, the giant will Of this man, all un-
faltering, has not ceased to aid him onward
to achievement which many another, un.
trammelled and unoppo.ed, world long since
have shrunk from.
There is scarce physical or nora
obstacle which may not be surmounted by
perseverance, which is the fruit OF powerful
and well directed will.

ORIGIN OF VARIOUS PLANTS.

Every gentleman farmer ought TO be
somewhat acquainted with the origin and
history of all ordinary plants and trees, so
as to know their nature, country and con-
dition. Such knowledge, besides being
a source Of great pleasure, aud very desi-
rable, will often enable him to explain
phenomena In tho habits Of many plants
that otherwise would appear incxpirablv.
Wheat, although considered by some as
native OF Sicily, originally came from the
central table land Of Thibet, where it
yet exists as grass. Barley exists wild
in the mountains OF HimaIay. Oats were
brought from North America. Milct,
one species, is native Of India; anoth-
er OF Egypt and Abyssiuia. Maize (Ia-
dia corn) is of native growth in Ameri-
ca. Rice was brought from Africa, whence
it was taken to India. and thence to Eu.
rope and America. Peas arc Of unknown.
origin. FetGhes are natives Of Germany.
The garden bean is from the Fast ladies'
Duckwheat cam" originally tom Siberia
and Turkey. Cabbage grows wild IN Sicily
and Naples. The poppy was brought from
the East. The sunilowers from Peru.
Hops came to perfection AS wild flower
in Germany. Saffron came from Egypt.
The onion is also a native of Egypt.
norseradish from South Europe. Tobacco
is native of Virginia, Tobago and Cal
Ifornia. Another species has also been
found wild in Asia. The grasses are most
ly native plants, and so are the clovcrs,
except luccrne, which is native of Sicily.
The gourd is an eastern plant. The potato
is well known native of Peru and Mexico.
Coriander grows wild near the Mediter.
raneau. Anise was brought from the
Grecian Archipelago.

Hath ring Of bright destiny,
Sweeping the earth of its burden 1.-the,
And it sings in wrathful glec.

And the fash Of our sickle's light illumcs

And acres stoop to its clanking jar.
As it locks its hungry jaws,
We gather them in-the yellow fruits
From the shrub, the vine, the tree.
With their russell and golden, and purple suits
To garnish our treasury,
And each has juicy treasure stored
All meath its tinted rind,
To cheer our guests at the social board,
When we leave our cares behind.
We gather them in-in this goodly store,
But not with the miser's lust,
For this Great All Father we adore,
Hath but given it in trust:
And our work Of death is but for life.
In the wintry days to come
Then n blessing upon the reapers' strife.
And shout for their Harvest Home
