Picking Meat.

Prof. Rainesque strongly d%enounces the use
of saltpeter in brine, intended for the preserva-
ton Of flesh to keep for food. That part Of the
saltpetre which is absorbed by the meat, he says
is nitricacid, aquafortis a deadly poison-animal
flesh previous to the addition Of the former only
possessing a nutritious irtne. This is destroy
ed by the chemical action of salt and saltpetrc;
and, as the Professor remarks, the meat becomes
as different a substance from what it should be,
as leather is to the raw hide before it is subject
ed to the process of tanning. He ascribes to
the pernicious effects of this chemical change, all
the diseases which are common to mariners and
Others, who subsist principally upon salted meat
such as scurvy, sore gums decayed teeth, I'll.
GERS, &C., and advises a total abandonment of
the use Of saltpeter in making pickle for beef,
pork, &c. The best substitute for that article
being, he says, a small quantity Of sugar which
renders the meat sweeter, more wholesome, and
equally as durable.

the realities Of life which is vital to the welfare Of any
community, and for which I have str, ven, from week

Of Thorn in the present and the future.
Il look and plan for a very much wider circle of
readers, and yet again for a steadily-expanding circle
Of readers, in the projects l hope to carry through "all
the year round;'' and l feel confident that this expec.
tation will be realized, fit deserves realization.

good purpose their motto is remembered in them, and
with how much fidelity and earnestness they tell the
story Of our lives from year to year.

Correspondent" has written q series Of letters, a part
of which have been issucd and extensively sold in q
beautiful illustrated volume, and the latter is now wri.
ting a series of Observations of Mace Slipper. which
will delight all who read them. These will be contin.
ued regularly, and MIR. Shelton will give a sketch or a
letter each month.-We have also several highly &C.
compl.shed lady contributors, whose favcrs will grace
our pages regularly, and whose names we would be
glad to publish, if we were permitted to do so. With
these and other regular contributors and the Table of
MI. Clark, whose long experience has made him an
aulfaut in his department, we shall be able to present
q monthly literary treat 80 varied that no refined taste
Gun fail to be grat,6ed.

The brine in which pork and other meats have
been picked is a deadly poison to horses and
hogs. This was urged several years ago by MIR.
keynal, q distinguished veterinarian Of France,
and last week, says the Kentucky Turf Regis
ter, we were a personal witness to it's practical
demonstration. A gentleman in the village of
lawreneeport, Ind, emptied brine from a pork
barrel into his lot: A flock Of hogs, as also one
horse, partook oft and the result was the
horse, and seven hogs out of the nine, died in
less than six hours from the time the barrel was
emptied.
