Chewing Wax.

We commend the following article to
the attention of our young readers. Ii
Is written by one who ought to know
at is said a girl at Brighton, Me-, chew
ed wax during her marriage ceremony"
1t was remarked, that she was doubtless
chewing the cud of sweet and bitter fan
cies." Be hat as it might, it will be well
if her husband has not to chew the cud of
nosfat realities, for having been so silly as
to marry a girl whose brain had been so
softened by this foul practice, as to rem
der incapable of rational thought, until
that organ was put under the force-pump
action of the jaws! If there is one prac-
tice more than any other, calculated to
endwarf the mind, it Is this everlasting
chew. chew, chew, TO be seen wherever
boys and girls are met with-even in the
high school where the student of physiol-
ogy is found with book in hand, and wax
in mouth, chew, chew, proving at least
one thing that the teacher understand
nothing of the deleterious effects of this
habit upon the organ of mind, or of its
facilitating influence upon the body
The most palpable and immediate effects
are too great and constant a flow of blood
to the brain, with too abundant a secre-
ton of saliva the more important con-
sequences are those above limited at. The
writer onc knew a very reputable lawyer
while his jaws were in action upon a cud
of paper; but a perfect child when they
were not thus occupied. In addition to
the school use of this delectable habit, it
is deemed very nice by some young misses,
to use wax or gum sparingly in church,
If parents and teachers understand this
evil to half its extent, neither school,
church, nor the youthful social circle,
would tolerate the practice, nor be injur-
ed by its continuance.

Touching Farewell Address.

Orpheus C.Kerr thus writes to the Sun
day Mercury
But the whole body of the Mackerels,
sane and insane alike, in a feeling OF
strong anguish blended with enthusiasm,
at the removal of the beloved General OF
the Mackeral Brigade. He has been SO
much a father to them all, that they new
er expected to get a foot further while he
was with them.
There's a piece of domestic philosophy
for you, my boy.
When the General heard of his remov-
al, my boy, he said it was like divorcing
a husband from "a wife who had always
supported him and Immediately let fly the
following farewell address:
HEADQUARTERS OF ARMY OF AccoNAv,
FoOT OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
Ny CHILDREN An order from the
Honest Abe divorces us, and gives the com
mand of all these attached beings to Ma
jor General Wobert Wobision. Heart
rending and enthusiastic cheers.
In parting from you, l cannot express
how much | love your dear bosoms. As
an army, you grown up from youth to old
age under my care. In you have never
found doubt nor GOODNESS, nor anything
else. The victories you have won under
my command Will live in the nation 8 works
of fiction The strategy we have achiev-
ed, the graves of many unripe Mackerals,
the broken forms of those disabled by the
emancipation proclamation the strong
est associations that can exist among men
still make it advisable that you should
vote for me as President of the United
States in 1865. Thus we shall ever be
comrades in supporting the Constitution
and making the Constitution support US.

onr Reoeipt for Curing Meat.

To one gallon of water, take II TBS. of
salt, J b. of sugar, OF. of saltpetre, 3oz.
of potash. In this ratio the pickle is to
be increased to any quantity desired
Let these be boiled together, until all the
dirt from the sugar rises to the top, and
is SKINNED off. Then throw it into a tub
to cool, and when cold, pour it over your
beef or pork, to remain the usual time,
say four or five weeks. The meat must
be well covered with pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two days al
ter killing, during which time it should
be sprinkled with powdered saltpetre,
which removes all the surface blood, &c,
leaving the meat fresh and clean.
Some omit boiling the pickle. and find
it to answer well; though the operation
of boiling puriies the pickle by throw
ing off the dirt alwayt to be found in salt
and sugar.
If this receipt is properly tried, it will
never be abandoned. There is nom that
surpasses it, if 50 soad.-GermantOiSn Tel

How TO PREPARE Corn STARcH.-Corn
Starch is as wholesome and agreeable an
article as can be furnished the sick and
wounded soldiers, and any quantity of it
can be prepared at no cost, except of time.
A half dozen ladies who are willing to de-
vote a day to it. car manufacture twenty
or thirty pounds of as nice corn starch as
ever was seen, and any farmer almost will
give them the green corn, and his wife
viii willingly let them have the use of
her pans and kitchen. The way to do it
is as follows Pick the green corn and
husk it. then CRATE it into a tub. Wash
this pulp two or three times, each time
straining and squeezing through a cloth.
take the liquor which comes through, set
it in pans and let it stand twenty-four
hours; then pour off, at the bottom will
be the clear deposite of starch, which on
" needs to be dried (which is quickly
done) to be as nice as you ever saw in the
market.-Erchdnqe.

thoroughwort. n ounce of slippery elm,
one ounce of stick ~licorice, and one ounce
of flax seed. Simmer them together in
a quart of water until the strength is en-
tirely extracted-strain carefully and add

could be for the Group asthma. bronchi-
tas, all affections of the lungs and throat.

A wooden-legged amateur happened to
be with a skirmishing party lately, when
a shell burst near him, smashing his arti-
fetal limb 10 bits, and sending a piece of
iron through the ealfofa soldier near him.
The soldier "grinned and bore it" like a
man, while the amateur was loud and
emphatic in his lamentations. Being re-
buked by the wounded soldier, he replied,
"oh, yes; its all well enough for you to
bear it. Your leg didn't cost anything,

FROM GEN. BUELL,s ARMY.

We had conversation yesterday with
a gentleman who left Buell's army at
Bowling Green. He says the army was
in superb condition. After the railway
transportation with the North was cut off,
the troops subsisted ON the country, aud
lived well. They had abundance of beef
cattle, poultry, green corn, DC, &C.. and
SO far as the subsistence question was con-
cerned, were not anxious about opening
communication with the North. Every
officer and men in the army were conf
dent they could and would whip Bragg il
they could catch him. 1t il q mistake to
suppose that Buell. has moved slowly
He has brought mp his troops xith as great
rapidity as possible, consisten, with the
primary duty Of keeping the army in good
condition Gen. Bragg got the start oI
him in his unexpected Northern march.

shall deprive rebels OF their negro proper
ty, and in all districts de facto in rebel
lion as States or communities, the negro
shall be declared free of his disloyal mas
ter, and invited to deprive himself of the
necessity of being disIoyal. Every in
ielligent man can see that this measure,
which depriyes rebels of one great source
of power, so far as it can lie carried out
practically will essentially weaken them in
prosecuting further their wicked purposes.
Aud practically it can be carried just as
tar as the seizing, destroying and confs-
eating all the other property of the rebels
an as the imprisoning and killing of the
rebels can be, and no farther. 1t rests
on just t he 81 me practical basis az oil the
other efforts to weaken and suppress the
rebellion. They must be carried forward
and executed by the arm of power, and
that is the war power legally and consti-
tutionally exercised by the President
But says the wise man of thc Times,
"in war as in peace, the Constitution is
the supreme law Of the land" Granted ;
yet the Constitution which provides for .
state Of war and imposes upon the Presi-
dent the duty of Commander-in-C Chief to
conduct it, and also imposes upon him
the duty to see that the laws are faithfu
ly executed, and the duty of suppressinc
domestic insurrection, no where points
out the mode Of discharging these duties
II leaves sll that, Of necessity, to the &C.
knowledged military power, as established
and regulated by the law of nations and
the necessities of the civilized world
To say that the rebellion is only TO bt
suppressed by the accustomed machinery
OF civil government, provided BY the Con.
sttution for peaceful times, is to say tina,
it shall not be suppressed at all; for with.
out the justification Of this military OF
war power, every arrest is false impris.
onment; every seizure of psoperty tres
pass, and every killing Of rebel, murder
Those who are earnestly desirous that
rebellion may be suppressed. will see in
government Of the United States, inclu-
ding the military and naval authority
thereof, will recognize and maintain the
freedom Of such persons, and will do no
act or acts to repress such persons, OF
any of them in any efforts they may make
for actuol freedom" A notice addressed
to property that has Intelligence and will
to make these efforts for actual freedom,
and perhaps give their rebel masters
something else TO do besides plundering
public property and butcbering federal
soldiers. Such apprehended sefforts'
may make strong diversion in favor Of
federal arms based on the fear of rebel
masters, not only of loosing the labor and
service which has been great support of
the rebellion, but of someting worse.
At all events. the power Of the Presi-
dent to take this step as war u.casule,
is undoubted and il is Idle IN tl.t, iiaes
or its clique of secession >yuapathizers 10
attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the
loyal intelligent people.
