come. A third legend adds that this wan
dering Jew falls sick every hundred years,
but RECEIVERS, and renews his strength ;
hnnce it is that, even after so many centu-
ries, be does not look much older than Sep.
tuagenarian. Thus much for the legends.
Not one of the ancient authors makes even
mention of such an account. The first who
report some such thing is.a monk of the
thirteenth century, when, as is known, the
world was filled with pious fiction even to
disgust. However, the story has spread
far, so that it has become proverb, 'He
runs about like wandering Jew There
are not persons wanting who assert that
they have seen the wandering Jew. But
when their evidence is examined by the
test of historical credibility, it is found that
some imposter had made use of this fable
to impose upon simple minded people for
some purpose of his own. However, the
legends not altogether untrue; there is a
wandering Jew who roves about Europe,
throughout every country. This imperish-
able being is-PREJUD1CE AGAINST THE
JEWS.

The BEAR.-I was told by an old Della
ware Indian that when the bear has been
travelling against the wind, and wishes.to
lie down, be always. turns in an opposite
direction, and goes some distance away from
his first track before making his.bed. If
an enemy then comes upon his trail, his
keen sense of smell will apprise him of the
danger. The same Indian mentioned that
when bear had been pursued and sought
shelter in a cave, he had oftensende
toseject him with smoke, but that the bear
would advance to the mouth of the cave,
where the frewas burning, and putt out
with his paws, then retreat into the cave a
gain. This would indicate that Bruin is
endowed with some glimpses of reason be.
yond the ordinary instincts of the brute
creation in general, and, indeed, is capable
of discerning the connection between cause
effect. Notwithstanding the extraordinary
intelligence which this quadruped exhibits
upon some occasions, upon others he shows
himself to be one of the most stupid brutes
imaginable. For example, when he has
taken possession of a cavern, and the coura-
geous hunter enters with torch and rifle,
it is said, he will, instead of forcibly ejec-
ting the intruder, raise himself upon his
launches and cover his eyes with his paws,
SO as to exclude the light, apparently think
ing that in this situation he cannot be seen.
The hunter can then approach as close as he
pleases, and shoot him down.-Pairte
Traveller.

A NEW RECEIPT FOR SLEEp1NEss -Ou

A NEW RECEIPT FOR SLEEPINEss.-
friend, the Thakoor, also visited US, and he
excused the non-appearance Of his little
son, on the ground that he was asleep un-
der his waterfall. I had almost omitted to
mention the curious habit of the hill peo-
pie to which this phrase of the Thakoors
relates. Whenever woman wishes to put
her child to sleep, she takes it to one of the
numerous places for this purpose, which
are all over the mountain.sides wherever
there is water. They consist of shed, or
sheds, in which there are stone troughs fill
ed from the running stream; and from those
troughs are little pipes made of reeds, or
hollow stems Of trees, which spout out wa
ter with gentle trickling fall, under which
the child's head is placed at the distance
of a few inches. The effect is almost i'm
mediate. The child closes its eyes and its
mouth, and falls into profound, sweet,
healthful sleep, which endures so long as it
is left under the water-spouts. Ihave seen

CHAPTER X.

See that far away light at the foot of yon-
der hill 1t comes from the window of
the little log-house; but why is there a
light burning there at this late hour? Let
us enter and see for ourselves.
Near the fireplace, with her head bowed
upon the table; and a shawl thrown over
her shoulders, sits Nellie. Upon the hearth
stands several plates, containing her hus.
bands supper, which has been there many
long hours. Benson had promised to come
home earlier than usual so she had prepar.
ed an unusually early meal for him; but
poor Nellie and her brother had waited un-
til nine o'clock, when, as the reader will
remember, the latter left. When Charles
left, Nellie felt too lonely and sad to eat ;
so she removed the supper from the table
and placed it by the fire 49,.
Alas hour after hour went by, as she
sat watching at the window for Benson, and
listening for the well known sound of his
footsteps. She tried to read; tried to sew ;
tried to engage herself in various household
duties, until wearied, disappointed and
heart-sick, she threw herself into the near
est seat; and bowing her head upon the lit
tie workable, wept as though her hea1t
would break.
The cathedral bell tolls two. 1t does not
simply strike the hour-it tolls it, with dis
NAL, solemn tones. Nellie starts to her
feet and looks uneasily around the room
and shudders. Then she goes to the win
dow, and putting her pale, care-worn face
out into the cold, mocking moonlight, looks
far down the street with an 'Oh, where can
he be p But there comes from out the deep
shadows in the distance, two objects, which
Immediately arrest her attention. 1T must
be Joe and somebody is with him too >
and as Nellie says this, she shrinks back
from the window, and stands in trembling
expectation and suspense beside the bolted
door.
sHeaveusp she exclaimed, as the out
siders neared the house, sit is Joe ! and
Charlie is with him " and poor Nellie's
cheek grew crimsoned with shame and NOR
tifcation. In all her conversation with her
brother she had not even hinted to him that
Benson was addicted to drinking; in all of
her letters home she had never once allu-
ded to the notifying fact; but ever spoke
in the highest terms of his affection, kind
ness and love towards her, and unceasing en-
deavors to render her as happy and comforta-
bic as possible
"Alas the love of woman it is known
To be lovely, but fearful thing"
A knock at the door.
Come in = said Nellie, drawing aside the
bolt, and trembling like leaAet in the
wind.
why don't you come in, Joe? said
Charles, pushing open the door, and endeav.
oring to lead the half-crazed man into the
house.
'Cause I won't replied Benson, sullenly,
$50 it's no manner of use to ask
please come in, Joe! said Nellie, with
her loving, pleading voice.

sI'll pay for it in the morning

'Maybe you will, Joe; but I rather have
the money now,' said the bar-keeper.-
lsWhy don't you make that young fellow
lgive you back your money! ~.
MY credit is quite good, said Benson,
looking up, with an expression of surprise.
Il know it, said the bartender.
Then why don't you let me have what
call for?' asked Benson, angrily.
Because you let that little fellow scare
you out of what is justly yours
Charlie said Benson, in whisper, slet
me have the money. I'll go, after taking
just one more drink
will you really do. SO p asked Charles,
taking out his watch and finding it grow
ing late. care you sure that you will go
with me as soon as you drink this last
drink p
Il swear it, said Benson.
Charles glanced hastily around the room,
then at the clock-he was undecided as to
how he should act, under the circumstances;
but when he heard the drunken laugh, the
low, obscene jokes and the terrible oaths of
the company; when he looked at Benson's
|pallid face, sunken eyes, quivering lips and
trembling hand, and then thought of poor,
watching Nellie, all alone in the little log
house, he handed the bill to Benson, say
ing: f you mast drink, do, for heaven
sake, do so at once, and come with me from
this hell upon earth -
walk up, gentlemen said the bar-keep-
er, as Benson placed the bill upon the coun.
ter, and bowed his head upon his folded
arms.
One after another came up, until COM
pany of thirty men stood around the half
circled counter, and drank in liquid death
from the beautifully tinted glasses and gob-
lets.
'You don't drink, Charlie-do you?'
asked Benson, putting down his empty
glass.
mo-
Il wish I could say so, too said Benson,
pressing his hands to his temples and sigh
ing. Il am sick, Charlie-Oh, how sick =
lis it any wonder?' said Charles; then
taking Bensou's arm, he said, coaxingly /:
Take up your change, Joe, and let US go at
once. Come on
What, right now?'
'Yes, Joe; it is after twelve o'clock,
and he continued in a lower tone of
voice-'Nellie is all alone, you know
But cannot 60 home as I am said
Benson.
well, long walk will make you feel
better, anyhow. Come, Joe; we really
must 60 out of this place. Recollect that
you even swore you would do So
Who'll did?' said Benson, leaning
heavily against the counter.
TO be sure you did, said Charles in a
tone of impatience and partial anger
well, if did swear it, I'll 60
That's rightp said Charles and, SO say
ing, the two walked as quietly as possible

CANCERS.

There was remedy for the above justly
dreaded disease, published in the papers
generally, last year. 1t was chloride Of
zinc and pulyerized blood root
Living near me, was negro woman
about fifty.fVe years old; who had an eating
cancer from the nipple tothe armpit, about
six inches long and two or three wide; it
had been spreading for five years, until her
system was generally yielding to it. Upon
her the remedy was applied as follows: The
zinc, which is sold in hard crystals, absorbs
water rapidly on exposure, is rubbed with
the blood root until paste is formed with.
out the addition of any fluid. This is ap.
piled to the diseased part, spread on cloth,
cut to fit close as possible. The zinc being
caustic, burns the skin, for that reason the
plaster should be confined as near as posi-
BILE to the affected parts. Two application
we're made, each plaster remaining on TWEEN
ty-four hours. A small portion of the can
Ger was humorous, with apparently heal
thy skin over it. On that part another ap
plication was made; in five days the diseas
ed part sloughed ont, leaving a cavity the
size as above and about an inch deep, which
was treated as burn, and considering the
age of this subject, ber health and the ex
tent of her wound, healed rapidly and now
the former diseased part is covered with {
smooth healthy cuticle. Her health fully
restored, and so far as external evidence
can determine, the cancer is cured. Tht
application was made in October last.
P. T. GRAVES.
The above remedy for this alarming dis
ease, Cancer, and the facts of the case de
tailed, are from agentleman, planter, o.
this country, and may be relied on as strict
ly correct We hope our readers will trea
sure up 'his information, and be ready al
all times both to use-if so unfortunate al

and also to communicate it freely to those
who are not so fortunate as to be subseri
bers to, and readers of the "Cotton Planter
