ScrOfula, or Kings Evil.

Is constitutional disease, a corrupt;on of IN,
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated.
weak, and poor. Boing in the circulation. Il
pTyados the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by morcurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and,
above all, by the yoneseal infection. What
evor be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who saws, "i
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in,
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, oruptions or sores. This foul oof-
ruption, which genders in the blood, depreeses
the energies Of life so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from serofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to WITH
stand the attacks Of other diseacee conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from o.
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous !.
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined BY it.
To cleanse it from the system we must rsnovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine We supply in

REMEDY FOR WEEVlL.

A reader of the Am. AgricuLurisi
states that he entirely destroyed the wee
wills that had badly infested grain bin
for two or three years, by keeping it filed
with plaster of Paris few months. 1t
should be understood that this insect is a
small beetle, and not that which infcsts
wheat in the field, and which is sometimes
improperly called the weeyil." Midge
or wheat fly is the correct name of the lat.
ter We do not see what better effect
could be derived from plaster of Paris,
than from the same quantity of aue sand
or fine soil. Lime should be better than
any of these, theoretically, at least.

An Accidental Shot.

Hon, Benjamin Franklin Wade and
Hon, Joshua Reed Giddings, used to be
constant competitors at the bar in old be-
nighted Ashtabula, their present place of
residence. In the early part of his prac-
tice, Wade was defending man against
an action for SANDER, and after having
concluded very effective speech to the
jury, sat awkwardly leaning backward his
feet on the counsel table, and facing Gid
dings, who was attempting to be eloquent
in behalf of his slandered client. Old
Gid, rs he was familiarly called, had a
little smattcring of Shakespeare, and now
determined to bring that great author to
his aid. Gentlemen of the jury" said he
with much ardor:
"fIs tha, steals my purse steals trash:
But ho that robs me Of my good name
-Ahem!' At this point, to his great
discontinue, Shakespeare deserted him.
He repeated;
"Dut hn that rebs me Of my good name"
but the Bard of Avon, as if unwilling to
aid either him or his client, proved treach
erous. Again he repeated.
But he that robs me ofmy good name"
Another pause. "Takes that l never had,
whispered Wadc,a if prompting him ,and
SO distinctly as to be heard by all in tht
room. Amidst the laughter and his own
confusion, Giddings brought his speech tc
such lame and impotent conclusion that
his client recovered six and a quarter cent.
for his lost character

KEEPING APPLES. NEW METHOD.

Mr.. NJ. r. Thompson, Of Mifflin co. q,
Pa, in letter to the American Ag,ioW.
tsrSst, describes his method Of keeping
choice apples which appears to be worth
noticing. He packs them in barrels or
large boxes, surrounding each apple with
common dry ground gypsum (plaster of
Paris.) This is readily done thus: Put
into the bottom of the barrel, or box, an
inch of plaster and then layer Of apples,
keeping them from contact with each other
and an inch from the side all round. Sift
in more plaster to Ell up the spaces and
cover the whole nearly an inch. Then add
another layer of apples and more plaster,
and SO on to the top. The plaster en-
ployd is, we suppose, the common ground
plaster for fertilizing-not the calcined
used for making casts, models, etc. The
former is cheap in most parts ofthe coun-
try, costing from SO TO $40 per tun. Of
course the plaster is just as good for mp
p'ication to the field after being used du-
ring Winter for acking apples. The plan
is worthy of trial at least, for it would ap-
pear reasonable that the fruit thus SUR
rounded with a compact mass ofdry pow
der, should keep almost as well as if her
metically sealed. Mr.. T. says he keeps
pound pippins thus packed, in good order
until the following June. We judge from
remark in his letter, that he does not
store them in cellar, but in any cool
room of the dwelling or clubhouse. We
are not sure whether the dry plaster would
be sufficient non.conductor to keep frost
out, if exposed to severe cold-especially
from the fruit near the outside of barrels.

KEEP THE PIGS CLEAN.

Many farmers, says contemporary,
make their pigs live in dirt, and then
charge them with fondness of filth
This is oppression and SANDER combined.
A hog pen" has become proverbial!y a
repulsive place, but this is the owners fault.
No animal. can thrive well unless kept
clean. A hog likes to be curried as well
as horse. This cannet always be done,
but at least let them have bed Of clean

POWDER AND BALLs.-Let ancient OF
modern history be produced and they will
not find more heroic display than the
reply of Yankey Stonington to the British
commanders. The people where piling
the balls that the enemy had wasted, when
the foe applied to them:
/" We want balls will you sell them 7"
Yankey Stonington replied
-" We want POWDER send us powder,
and we'll return your balls"

BURNING POTATO VINES.

According to the Massachusetts, Plough
vsaa. potato vines should be thrown into
heaps and burned for the most plausible
theory in regard to the potato rot is, that
lis caused ~ very minute insect, not
visible to the naked eye. BY burning the
vines, therefore, we may catch millions Of
them and send them where they came from
for the vines are but very little value as
manure, and their ashes are better than
their stems buried in the soil. A very
reasonable supp ositoin in regard to the
rot is, that it is caused by poisonous lit
Gle insect, too minute to be readily dis
eerned yet numerous enough to cause
destruction to that root which is almost the
sole food of millions of of our race. If,
as we conjecture, small poisonous insect
is the cause, we can out flank and subdue
him by fire and water. Let the vines havs
the fire, and let the tubers, at the time Of
planting, be dipped into potash water, to
