USEFUL To HousEKEEpERs.- ex-
periments in more than one family in this
city established the fact that the plant COM
mon y known as" water pepper or :. smart
weed,' which may now be found in abun-
dauce along our bitches, roads, lanes and
barnyards, is an elfectual aud certain de-
stroyer Of the bed bug. A strong decoc-
ton is made Of the herb, and the places in
tested with the insect, washed thoroughly
with il. The plant may also, with much
advantage, be stuffed in the cracks and
corners Of the room. Elderberry leaves
laid upon the shelves of a safe or cupboard
will also drive away reaches and ants, while
the common house fly will not venture in
smelling distance Of them. These simple
remedies should be extensively used.

the happy spirit that inspires it. The
sourest temper must sweeten in the atmos-
phere Of continuous good humor. As well
might fog. and cloud, and vapor, hope to
cling TO the sun ilumined landscape, as the
blues and moroseness to combat jovial
speech, and exhilarating laughter. Be
cheerful, always. There is no path but
will be easier travelled, no load but will
tighten, no shadow Oh heart or brain but
will lit sooner in the presence Of a deter
mined cheerfulness. Ii may, at times. seem
difficult for the happiest tempered to keep
the countenance Of peace and content, but
the difficulty will vanish, when we truly
consider that sullen gloom and passionate
despair do nothing but multiply thorns, and
thcken SORROWS. LII comes to us provi-
dentially as good-and is good, if wa
rightly applied its lessons; why not then,
cheerfully accept the ill, and thus blunt its
apparent stingl II we are i'll, let US be
cheered by hopeful visions Of better for
tune--if death robs US of the dear ones, let
US be cheered by the thought that they are
only gone before to the blissful bowers
where We shall all meet 10 part no more
forever.
Cultivate cheerfulness, if only for per-
sonal profit. You will do, and bear every
duty and burthen better by being cheerful.
It will be your consoler in solitude, your
passport and commentator in society. You
will be more sought after, more trusted and
esteemed for your steady chesrfulness.
The bad, the vicious, may be bolsieronsly
gay, and yugarly humorous. but seldom or
never truly cheerful. Genuine cheerful
ness is an, almost certain index Of happy
mind, and pure good heart.

SPECULATION IN LYNcHBURG.-rhe Re-
publican has been informed of transaction
which took place in Lynchburg on Saturday
last. which accounts for the extreme high
prices that every article of value realizes.
A party brought from she Valley four bales
of woollen goods, each bale containing a
thousand yards. which cost him s2a per
yard. II was held by him at SCI yard,
but nobody would purchase it at that price.
After time intelligence came from Rich
mond that 50 yard could be had for il
there. One Of the spectators here bought
bale Of It at 80 a yard, re-sold tito anoth-
er party for $40, he to a third at SlOa, and
he resold il to fourth at sll, and he to a
filth at Sill per yard. All this was done
