ToADYIHd- The New York wholesale
merchants, some of them, took the pains
sometime since to sign calls for Union
Meetings, taking care TO sign their full
names and their particular kind and place
Of business; in their call they took care
to say that the South was right and the
North wrong, and rather justifying disun-
ion sentiments under the cloak offered in
i Union call. Such calls ssith the names
Of merchants signing the same, we're sent
South in order to satisfy the Southern
trade and dealers that the houses named
we're all sound on tho Niger. The Free.
Soil and true union merchants took the
hint and sent their names to Northern
merchants -at the same time sending
also the list Of toadying or doughface
names signed TO bogus Union calls. This
made sir, as the Northern trade was
worth FIVE times as much as the Southern
trade. So, report says, the doughfaces are
nov offering 10 sign papers with the Free
Soil houses, pledging that neither@ shall
from this time take any interest in politics
whatever; but The Free Sellers exact as a
condition that every merchant Of New
York shall specify 10 such paper that the
Union shall never be dissolved, come what
may, pledging themselves their property

the shape Of John Browns or Southern

who have achieved an uncommon degree u
prosperity: with climate extremely trying to
certain constitutions, and soil of small fcrtil-
ity, they have contrivcd to surpass more favored
communities in almost every thing that con-
duces to social comfort and happiness. Tn
fortunately, they are occasionally SO absorbed
in business and mental cultivation, that they
neglect the precautions which are essential tI
bodily health. Dyspepsia and physical debility
are prevalent among all classes. The first dis
ease is produced by inattention to the digestive
organs. which are so susceptible of arrangement.
Thousands are now paying the penalty of this
neglect, and suffering daily the most trying
pains, almost without hope of relief. They
have come to believe that their ailment is
chronic. and that they must bear with it to the
end. 1t gratifes US exceedingly to announce
to these afflicted individuals that they may
now command a remedy of unquestionable
potency and virtue, which has never been found
to fail in all cases of digestive weakness or de-
ransemcnt. Hundreds of tongues are ready to
grow eloquent in praise of this wonderful con-
queror of dyspepsia, which is known as

Forward Spring Work Now.

take time by the torelock" is as good a
maxim for farmers as for others. While there
are some iiuds IT lat or that Can only be per-
to.m.d at particular seasons, there are others
that Can be done at any time, when the wea-
ther Ia>ors out door operations. The Spring
N all the northern par, Of our country is a
Very brief season, and upon the farm, it is
usually overcrowded with work. Slack far
me:s especially, leave everything to this sea
son. The manure is Tot carted until the
ground is settled the plowing is put of un.
I'll May, and the planting until June ; the po-
tatOes and oats that flourish best in cool wea-
thcI, are forced to manure in the heat If dog
days and ret, rust. and smut are often the re-
suit Of the late sowing and planting.
Something Can be done even at this sea
son, to help on the Spring work. The wood
house is, or ought TO be already filled SO that
TIE axe will not need to be lifted to prepare
fuel firm March to December. \ good part
q the manure Can be carted now, much bet
ter than in planting time. The ground is
now frozen So that the cart path to the field
10 te ilowed, is soon worn as smooth as a
railroad. Ii will be much less tax upon tine
strength of a team 10 draw hundred loads
Of manure now, than to do it in April, when
the team is pressed with blowing aud other
farm work. 1t is pretty well established now,
that Yard manure prepared IN the usual way
with muck and loan, does not lose much OF
its value, when piled up in Winter in large
heaps IN tie field where it is to be used
From our own experience we do not think
green stable manure would be injured by the
same treatment, If it were well mixed in the
field with muck or peat. The piles should
be made long, harrow and high, Sd! five or
Blk feet SO as to shed a part OF Tie rain.
II any Of the meadows are to he dressed
with line compost, there is no better time
than the present to do it. The sward will
not be cut Up, and the warm Spring rains
will carry down the tertilizing properties Of
the manaIc to the roots OF plants. TINS must
not be done however, on rolling land, or on
steep hill sides where the rains would wash
oft part of the manure before the frost comes
out Of the ground.
A large portion Of the Spring wcrk can be
anticipated before Winter breaks up, and then
the farmer can seize upon the best time to
plant and SOW, and drive his work all thro
the season instead Of being dri,en.--lm
