WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA.
With due attention to temperance.

with due attention to temperance, exer-
else, and early hours, you may set dyspep-
sla at defiance. Neglect one of these pre-
cautions, and you lay yourself open to the
approaches of the enemy-negleet two OF
them, and it is hardly possible that you
will escape. And above all things, keep
this in mind, that no>other disease or affec-
ton of the body is so stealthy or insidious
as dyspepsia. IF the first few instances of
carelessness or transgression were to be
visited with the pains and penalties that
atfiict the patient when the malady has be-
come chronic, few men would be SO insane,
or so obstinately reckless, as to postpone
the work of reformation. But the earlier
symptoms are rarely of an alarming kind.
The appetite is not sensibly affected, though
the digestion is impaired; and the COM
plant seems to be limited to flatulency and
heartburn. Such unpleasant sensations,
however, can be easily removed. Essence
of ginger and fluid magnesia seldom fail to
give relief, and the patient fiatters himself
that there is no ground for apprehension.
But the symptoms do not disappear. They
recur with greater frequency; and the anti
dotal doses, though increased, are found to
have lost their efficacy. The stomach has
HOW Decone more seriously uefduSed. All
kinds of food generate acid; and in this
stage the patient usually has recourse to
the carbonates of soda or potash, which in
their turn give temporary relief, though
without in any way arresting the disorder.
By this means dyspepsia, like an insidious
serpent, has fairly folded the victim within
its embrace, and is squeezing him at it's
leisure. Everything he eats disagrees with
him, and seems to undergo some wondrous
transformation. That which was served
up at the table as haggis, eeems converted
into a ball OF knotted iowa mutton chop
becomes fiery crab, rending the interior
with his claws; and every rice pudding has
the intolerable effrontery to become hedge
hog. After that comes nausea and vomit-
ing. You derive no benefit from the food
you swallow. From twelve stone weight
you dwindle down to ten. Your counte-
nance becomes ghastly, your eyes hollow,
and you totter prematurely on your pins. The
mere notion of exercise becomes distasteful.
You feel as if you had no strength for any
thing. You are pensive, moody, and irri-
table. Your mind loses its elasticity and
power; and when you sit down to compose,
instead Of manly matter, you produce moth
ing but the dreariest of drivel-BIack-
moods Magazine.

DOMESTIC.

To FRICAssEE CHICKENs.-Boil them for
ty minutes in water enough barely to cover
them. Take off the scum as fast as it ri
ses. Take them up and carve them in the
usual way. Put part of the water in which
they were boiled into spider or stew pan.
For two chickens rub a piece of butter as
large as an egg, and spoonful of flour to-
gether, and stir into the water as it hollis
up. Add some salt, and a gill of cream or
milk. Lay in the pieces of chicken, cover
the pan close, and stew them gently eight or
ten minutes. Parsley cut fine is decided
improvement.
PRESERVING MEAr.-Take ground black
pepper lb. will do for 500 cwt.,-a lit
tie more or less will do no harm,-sprinkle
first with pepper until quite black, then
salt in the usual way. l have used this re-
ceipt for several years, and never failed to
keep meat sweet. 1t adds very much to the
flavor, likewise. To be used en- hams and
shoulders.-J. J. KNIGHT.
CHICKEN SALAD.-Boil or roast a nice
fowl When cold cut off all the meat, and
chop it little, but not very small; cut up
a large bunch of celery and mix with the
chicken. Boil four eggs hard, mash, and
mix them with sweet oil, pepper, salt, mus
tard, and a gill OF vinegar. Beat this mix
ture very thoroughly together, and just be-
fore dinner pour it over the chicken.
MAKING TEA.-Water for making tea
should be used the moment it boils. The
reason assigned, Is that if it is boiled for
some time, all the gas that is in it escapes
with the steam, and it will then not make tea
of the best flavor. Clear, pure, soft water
is best.
PARsNEP FRITTERs.-Boil parsneps until
tender; mash and season them with butter,
pepper and salt make them in pats, dip
them in butter, and fry in very little Eat un-
til brown. Or cover them with egg and
cook gently.
PARsNEp OYsTERs.-To one pint of mash
ed parsneps, add three well-beaten eggs, a
teaspoonful of butter, pepper and salt to
suit the taste, and sufficient -four to hold
the mixture together. Make. into little flat
balls and fry brown in butter.

FARMERS EcoNoMY = Farmers talk a
great deal about economy. 1 know one
who will go three miles out of his way, over
a bad road, to save few cents at the toll
gate. Another, who is so economical of
backsmiths' expenses, that instead of get
ting tire set at the right time, will make
it do week or two longer, and some dark
night may be found cropping his way home,
with three wheels and a rail to his wagon;
while horse or two are unable to leave the
stable on account Of lameness, resulting
from misunderstanding of the word econ
omy, as applied to shoeing horses. Many
a man is so economical in the matter OF
boards for barns, stables and sheds, that he
builds them every year of corn and hay.
These may be considered strange building
materials, but what state is true. If an
animal is exposed to the storms and colds
of winter, it will take one half of the food
it consumes to keep it as warm as it would
be naturally in a good comfortable stable;
the other half will keep it just along. So
the half of the grain and hay and grain is
used for making stable-expensive build
ing materials. but this is the economy oil
some. 1t is not the economy. however,
that would recommend, nor that which
will pay heavy war expenses.-Cor. Rural
Neao- Yorker.

RAISE ToBAcco.-Now that the price of
tobacco has advanced so as to make its use
a burdensome tax upon those who are so
unfortunate as to have contracted habi
of using the pernicious weed, and as there
ia every pospect of its becoming still higher,
we would advise our. farmers to raise
enough, at least, for home consumption.
Tobacco growing has been thoroughly test
ed in this part of the country during the
last three or four years, and there is not a
doubt but it can be successfully and profit
ably raised. We have seen good tobacco
raised in Kansas, fully equal to if not better
than that raised in Missouri, which State
has heretofore supplied the Kansas market.
In consequence of the disordered state OF
society in that and other Southern States.
where this article is chiefly raised. and
which will prevent the usual amount being
raised, it behooves our farmers to take our
advice and plant goodly quantity Of this
tweed" The seed should be sown in
February or early in March.-iSHaohy Hill

MONEY How TO KEEP Ir.-The way to
keep money is to earn it fairly and honestly.
Money SO obtained is pretty certain to abide
with its pcssessor. But money that is in
herited, or that in any way comes without
a fair and just equivalent, is almost certain
to go as it came. The young man who be-
gins by saving few shillings, and thrifty
increases his store-every coin being a rep
resentatiye of good. solid work, honestly
and manfully done-stands better chance
to spend the last half of his life in af1uence
and comfort than he who, in his haste to
become rich, obtains money by dashing
speculations, or the devious means which
abound in the foggy region lying between
fair dealing and actual fraud. Among the
wisest and most thrifty men of wealth, the
current proverb is, .'Money goes as il
comes" Let the young make note Of
this, and see that their money comes fairly,
that it may long abide with them.

STORY OF rHEwAR IN KENTUCKY
A Campbellsville Ky correspondent Of

A Campbellsville Ky. correspondent Of
the Louisville Democrat tells this story:
l have now before me letter to a friend
from private in Col. Hazzaad's Cavalry
Regiment, stationed at Columbia. The
writer was formerly justice of the peace,
is rough specimen of mountain character,
is fond of his grog and good Joke, and
always ready for a fight whenever it may
suit the convenience of his or his country s
enemies. His name is Andrew jackson
Garmon-rather significant of the pugna-
cious propensity. 1t seems that Squire
Carmen took very active part in favor Of
the Union cause in Cumberland (his coun-
ty), Monroe and Metcalf counties, last sum
mer and fall, captured some twenty head oil
contraband mules and several horses, and
had hand in bringing to boat on Cum
berland river, engaged in the contraband
business-in word, Squire Carmen was
terror to the secesh generally in that To-
cality, rendering himself obnoxious to their
blood thirsty proclivities.
Some ten or fifteen days since, Squire
Carmen learned that his family were all
wn sick with the measles, and deter
mined to visit them, cost what it might.
So he obtained furlough from the gallant
colonel, under protest that he (Garmonl
would never return to his regiment. The
first or second night after his arrival at
home, the secesh, his old neighbors and
relatives, twenty eight strong, armed cap-a-
PIE, visited his house and raped at the
door. The Squire hailed them; no answer.
He sprang out of bed, gathered his irons,
and lighted candle, when he discovered
three men in his dining-room, and fred at
them. They all scampered out of the house,
one falling dead at the door. The captain
then ordered him to come out, which he
refused to do, and in turn invited them to
come in and exchange bullets there. This
they declined to do, and Immediately opened
fire on his house through the doors and
windows, the Squire returning fire as fast as
he could. This was kept up, the Squire
thinks, about one hour, when his assailants
left, leaving three dead in the yard, and
carrying off five MORALLY wounded-since
dead. The Squire then lighted up the
house, and his sick family came out from
their hiding places. Not whole pane of
glass remained in seven windows. Three
balls had entered the posts and rails of his
daughters bed, she being too unwell to get
up. twenty-five balls were found in his
wife's bed-tick, and the furniture of his
house was literally riddled.
The Squire's personal casualties were as
follows: One ball severed finger, another
bled him in the temple. third crossed his
breast, severing his shirt bosom, fourth
passed through his hat and fifth unbut-
toned his shirt sleeve.
The Squire thinks they must have fred
some two hundred rounds at him; but none
the worse for wear, he is ready to repeat the
operation whenever they are.
The cool and deliberate manner in which
the Squire details the rencounter to his
friends, aside from his reputation for verac-
ity, gives the highest assurance of its entire
truthfulness
