TAE Love OF HoME.-It is only
shallow-minded pretendsrs who either
make distinguished origin matter of
personal reproaeh. Taunt and scofing
at the humble coalition of early life
affects nobody, in this country, but
those who are follish enough to indulge
in them, and they are generally sufE-
ciently punished by the published re-
buke. Al man who Is not ashamed Of
himself need not be ashamed of his
early condition. It did not happen to
me to be born in log-cabin, but my
elder brothers and sisters we're born in
log-cabin, and raised among the
snow drifts of New Hampshire, at a
period SO early that when the smoke
first rose from its rude chimney, and
curled over the frozed hill there was
no similar evidence of white mans
habitation between it an the rivers Of
Canada. Its remains still exist. I
make it an annual visit. carry my
children to it, to teach them the hard
ships endured by the generations who
lhavegone before them. Iloveto dwell
on the tender recolleetions, the kim
I fdred; ties, the early affections, and the
narrhtions and incidents which ningle

of those who who inhabited it are now

all the domestic virtues beneath its
roof, and through the fire and blood
of seven years revolutionary wal

OBEY 4oUR WiFE.-Three joyiaI
fellows-Tom Watson, Joe Brown and
Bill Walker--sat late al the village
tavern, and in the mirriment Of their
hearts made an arrangement that the
"shotS should be paid by him who
omitted to do the first thing that his
wife told him cn returning home they
then separated for the night, engaged
to meet again next moraing and make
an honest report. Next morning Wal
ker and Brown were early at their
posts, but it was some time before
Watson made his appearance. Walker
began frst-"You see, when I entered
my house the candle was out, and as
the fire gave but a glimmering light I
was near walking into a pot of batter
that the crumpets were to be made of
this morning. My wife, dreadfully oat
ofhumor at sitting up SO long, said to
me sarcastically, Do put your foot in
the batter Z Just as you say, Maggy,
said /, and without the least hesitation,
| set my foot in the batter, and then
went TO bed.f Next Joe Brown told
his story-"My wife had already re-

adjoins the kitchen, and the door Of

count Of himself, which be did with q
very long face as follows-''My wife

enduring in its effects than than the
liquors with which they seek to drown
their misery and shame. The combi-
nation of the varions snufs is kept
tIade secret by the manufacturers, but
but about 90 per cent. is made up of
salt, pearlash, and other pungent sub
stances, which add flavor and stimulat-
ing power. to the article. Hundreds of
women buy their snuff under the pre-
tenee of cleaning their teeth, and it is
claimed by the dealers that all their
digging customers, old or young
have their teeth in remarkably sound
and lustrous condition.
How the practice came so extensive
ly spread in New York is not known,
though it is probably a Southern impor-
tation, and has not obtained much of a
foothold until within the past fifteen
years. Those who are addicted to it
here do not display their habit openly,
as at the South, but conceal it carefully
from their nearest friends, shutting
themselves in their rooms and secretly

the mixture, with peculiarly shaped
horn or silver spoon, in the inside of
the lower lip. There it is allowed to
remain until thoroughly moistened,
when it is passed around to the sides Of

ted of essential powers.
When this habit has ouced fastened
upon q woman, she rarely, if ever, is
able to shake it off. Neither ruined
health, self-respect, nor love for her hus-
band, children, and friends can give her
sufficient resolution ia abstain from

Illustrative Of this fact, was the case Of
rich and fashionable lady, whose hus-
band presented her, at different times
with horse and carriage, and other
costly gifts, as pledges that she would
abandon the habit, but after short alb.
stinence, she invariably returned TO hel
snug. On one occasion, having taken
the steamer for Charleston or some
other Southern port, and having forgot

snuff, she gave black stewardess 81

A CARD.

The Office Of Prescrptionist is as properly sepa-
rated from that Of Physician, the part of the
mechanic who puts work together from that of the
Architect who plans ii. The art of prescribing and
the art Of compromising medicines are two different
professions, requiring different training for prof.
cheney in either. But the latter is of equal respon-
sibility with the Former, demanding as safe qualif-
cations, a thorough Pharmaceutical education and
long practical experience in the manipulation Of
drugs. To meet these important requirements, !
have employed as my prescriptionist, Mr.. SHERMAN,
Of Richmond, Va, who to a full course of study
in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, adds an
experience Of six seven years in one Of the first
prescription stores OF Philadelphia and Richmond.
No other assistant IN The store bat himself icll put
up prescriptions. w. o. VANCE

Prof O. j. Wood a. Co.-Gents.: The letter |
wrote to you in 1856 concerning your valuable Hair
and which you have published in this
vicinity and elsewhere, has given rise to numerous
inquiries touching the facts in the case. The inqui
res are, first, is it fact of my habiaton and name
ms stated in the communication; second is il true of
all therein contaned third, does my hair still con-
tnue 10 be in good order and of natural col0r2 To
all can and do answer invariably, yes. My hair
is even better than in any stage of my life for forty
years past soft thrifty, and better colored |;
the same is true of my whskers, and the only cause
why it is not generally true is that the substancei is
washed off by frequent abluton Of the face, when
if care were used by wiping the face in close con-
nection with the whiskers the same result will fol-
low as the hair. | have been in the receipt of a
great number of letters from all parts Of New Eng
land asking me il my hair still continues to be good
as there is so much fraud in the manufacture and
sale of the various compounds well this, it has
no doubt been basely initiated and used, not only
without any good effect but to absolute injury.
