EARLY VEGETABLEs.-Many persons
wishing early vegetables, sow the seed in
crooks or boxes, and start their plants
quite early but their early growth is
nearly lost in trsnsplanting. Let them
try the following method
Take fat box, and fill in an inch or
two of earth then take fat or English
turnips. scrape out the inside of as many
as you wish hills Of tomatoes, cucumbers,
cabbage, or lettuce, place them in your
box, fill in and around with rich earth,
and SOW a few seeds in each. Keep in a
room, and water occasionally. When
you plant them, cut off the bottom os the
turnip, being careful not to disturb the
roots, and your vegetables will be from
one to two weeks earlier than those raised
IN hot house and transplanted in the
common way. Let three or four cucum-
Der or lettuce plants grow in hill, and
but one tomato or cabbage plant. After
they are set and grow well, nip off the
poorest of the tomatoes and cabbages,
for by pnlling them up you disturb the
roots of the one you wish to grow.-G.

Monsieur Folk, a Frenchman, who
went to Jamaica, to embark in business,
had been sadly abused there. He had
been robbed, whipped, put in prison, his
property con6scated, and every species Of
indignity and outrage offered him. Or
his return to New Orleans, he told the
story most pitifully to Col. Pike, of AR.
kansas.
"Why, Monsieur Folk, )" said the Col,
according to your story, Jamaica must
be as bad place as the Internal regions!"
"Ma foi-it is worse"
Now, Monsieur, do You really mean
that"
"C'eSt vrai"-it is true.
Well, now, Monsieur Folk" said
Col. Pike, suppose you were on your
death-bed tonight, and the Lord was to
appear to you, and say you might go
back to Jamaica or go to the internal re-
gions. what would you say p"
al would say, Monsieur good Lord, il
it beez all re same to you; If it make no
difference at all, 1 should very much
choose to please, to prefer much razer go

The GTeGt JSuOStfuteJo T Io0dceo.
It's a we'll known and incontrovertable fact
that the use Of Tobacco is the promoting cause
of many of the most severe
Mental and Physical Disorders,
to which the race of man is subject, as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties most dangerously their
effects, which by entering into the blood, de-
range the functions and operations ofthe heart,
causing many to suppose that organ to be seri-
ously diseased.
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
TEN, manifesting itself-as all who have ever
used the nOxions weed will bear testimony-in
Lasstude, Nervous Irritability, Water Brash,
Dyspepsia, and many disorders of a similar
character.
TIE Taste Restorative TTOehes
are designed to counteract these baneful inhu-
ences, and have proven eompletly successful in
in multitude Of cases, and wherever used
Being harmless in themselves, they exert ben
efcial effect upon the entire system, restoring
the Taste which has become vitiated or destroy
ed BY great indulgence, completely removing the
irritation and the accompanying tickling sensa-
ton Of the Throat-which are always conse-
quent upon abstaining from the use of Tobac
CO, and by giving healthy tone to the Stom-
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches Immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobac-
CO Chewing.

convenient and portable form at the low price

INTRODUCING HMsELF.-It was during
the second Presidential term of General
jackson, that he stopped at public
house, while on his way from Nashville
to Florence, Alabama; and thereby hangs
tale. He was the guest of Mr.. Samuel
Wormsley, as fine a specimen Of an old
Nirginian as you will find anywhere be-
tween the rising and the setting of the
sun. A large company were present, and
many were being introduced. The host
presented two of his sons in law in the
following manner:
General, allow me to introduce my
son-inlaw, Samuel P. Walker, who is a
nephew of James K. Polk. General, al.
low me to introduce another son-in law,
Adley o. Harris. once brother-in- law to
James X. Polk"
In corner of the room sat wag who
had eaten too much or drank too much
rising from his seat, he said
General, allow me to introduce my
self, Michael r. Moore. married Kate,
the daughter of old John Miller; give
me your corn-stealer -
Well, there was a laugh, long, loud
and heart in which the old hero Joined,

important advantage to the public, which is, hat

A Cure FOR CoLD.-There is a simple
remedy for cough. which we have occa-
sionally tried and found effective, and can
therefore, recommend it.
1t is mixture of one-third antimoni-
al wine. one-third syrup of squills, and
one-third paregoric, in equal proportions,
mixed. A swallow of it occasionally,
so as to moisten the throat, is all that
is required, and sometimes use it by hold
ing the head down that it may pass over
the upper part of the throat. 1t is inno-
cent in its effects. and can at any rate do
no harm.-N. Y. Sun.

PHENOMENA OF THE LAKEs.-An opin-
ion is quite prevalent in this country that
the water in the Lakes rises gradually
for seven years, and then falls for the same
period. Maj. Lachlan has Investigated
this subject. and collected all the facts
which could be ascertained in relation to
it for the last sixty-6ve years, and he
comes TO the conclusion that there is no
regular septeDnial or other great food in
any great lakes. He is inclined to be-
lieve that differences in barometrical pres
sure in different parts of the lakes and
lunar attractions at the times of vernal
and autunnal equinoxes may have some
influence in causing the daily oscillations
and other irregular transient tides.-CAi-

Henry Ward Beecher, at his last lee
ture at Northampton, said, as a glass of
water was brought to him soon after be
commenced, that be was much obliged
for the kindness, but that he nevsr used
water when speaking. When he FIRST be-
gan to speak, seeing that other speakers
constantly used water to moisten the
throat, be did the same, and soon found
that he was constantly obliged to use it.
Whereupon he concluded to thereafter
let nature do her own work, and immedi-
ately broke off the habit. The conse-
quence was that he has never been trou-
bled with dryness of the throat since.
And he believed that if the brains oil
young speakers could furnish them with
ideas, the salivary glands would general
ly supply the proper moisture. And he
universally found that if he could find
ideas to which to give utterance, the nec-
essary moisture was forthcoming. He
said this for the benefit of those whom it
might concern.

the eoifeure most in vogue was called a
pouf. It consisted of the hair raised as
high as possible over horse hair cushions,
and then ornamented with objects indica-
