MIR. AND MRS. SICKLEs.

Mrs. II. o. G. Hewett, a Southern Ia
dy, formerly of Mississippi, is out with
an elaborate defence of the reconciliation
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sickles. We give q
specimen, as we find it in the "Mer.
chants Recorder
And Mrs. Sickles, she may be bless.
ing to many! Rahab, the worst of wo.
men mentioned in sacred history, was sa.
we'd, with all her family. when the city
of Jericho was taken, and no other souls
were saved-her father and his good deeds
justified her. There is more rejoicing IN
heaven over one sinner that repcntetE
than in the ninety and nine that went mol
astray. Mrs. Sickes, though sold liz,
poor little Joseph, has it in her power te
be deliverer from evil, through grace
and minister of good to aching hearts
and erring sisters.
We should rejoice that one man, a
leas, has dared to do right--to return t,
his wife and an errlng wife has prefer
ed to take her own husband in preference,
to those VIII would gladly have had hel
separated from him, in order that they
might try to get her! The vomiting "
of their chagrin at the just disappoint
ment would be amusing, if it was not il
such serious cause. Cannot some on,
recomend panacea for their distress

T Gov. Wise, of Virginia, has writ
ten a letter to a friend in New York,
says the Oxford Mercury. in which be
boldly and recklessly asserts that Mr..
Buchanan is candidate for the re-nomi-
nation. He further states that Mr.. Doug
las cannot be nominated, and concludes
by saying IF have the popular
strength you suppose, it will itself fix the
nomination. Get that, and am conf
dent of success"
Wise is evidently getting wiser than
many in whose wisdom We have been
wont to confde. In fact he is trouble
some fellow-he must have something to
say at all times, everywhere, and seldom
to the purpose. We should like to see
him display, while be is so necessarily
advising and lecturing the Democratic
party, little more modesty at least.

CALIFORNIA BEER SEED.

Of all the vegetable wonders of mod
ern times, the California Beer Seed, if
the truth has been told of them, are sure
ly among the greatest. A single seed
immersed in glass of sweetened water,
will, after fermentation, make excellent,
and very palatahle beer. But this, it
seems, is not the whole truth. Not only
does the single seed cause rapid fermen-
tation and make most delightful bever-
age, but it generates number of other
seed, growing, as it would appear, by
what they feed on" They are said
also to be good leaven for bread, fur
nishing the industrious housewife with a
ready and most desirable substitute for
yeast. Indeed, they are said to be supe-
rior to hops in raising the light roll or
the tempting loaf.

excused ior this, as it is an event which
seldom occurs.
We received the message by way of the

were favored We have no space to day to

lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excretng organs
of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
