D@-A man by the name f John Henry Martinstein, formerly hardware dealer ill New Orleans, ard who has been long noted for his eccentricities, fell into trance few days since, and being thought dead, his friends pre- pared his body for burial. While on the way to the cemetery the horse attached to the hearse took fright, and running away, upset the coffin, throw ing out the body with such violence as to restore consciousness to the suDpos- ed defunct Martinstein, who was at once helped into carriage and taken home by the few who remained and were not almost frightened to death by his appearance. The Picayune says :: IN Not the least curious incident connect ed with the attempted burial of Mir. Martinsten, was the fact that the under takcr who had been engaged had no idea of being cheated of what he fan- cied were his just dues, and upon being refused payment for his partially per formed service, brought suit for the amount, and actually obtained judg- ment minis favor in the lower court. Mr. Martinstein, however, took an ap- peal, and the judgment was reversed --the court ruling that as he had not performed the service for which he had contracted hp was not entitled to nav forthe same.

Marry Her First.

, Many years ago, in what IS now a
 fourishing city, lived a stalwart black
 smith, fond of his pipe and his joke.
 He was also fond of his blooming
 daughter, whose many graces had en-
 snared the affections of young prin-
 ter. The couple, after a season of bill ing and cooing, engaged themselves" l" and nothing but the consent of the
 young lsdy's parents prevented their union. To obtain this an interview
 was arranged, and the typo prepared a little speech to admonish and convince the old man, who sat enjoying his pipe in perfect content. The typo dilated on the fact of their long friendship, their mutual attachment, their hopes for the future, and like topics and talk ing the daughter by the hand, he said {: "I am now, sir, to ask your permis- sion to transplant this lovely flower from it's parent bed"-but his feelings overcame him, and he forgot the re- mainder of his oratorical flourish, stam- mered and finally wound up with, "from its paternal bed into my own" The father keenly relished this discom- fiture of the suitor, and removing his pipe and blowing cloud. replied: : "Well, young man, don't know as 1 have any objection provided you mar " the girl first"

Getting on in the World.

There are many different ways of getting on in the world it does not al ways mean making great deal of money, or being great man for the people to look up to with wonder.- Leaving off bad habit for good one, is getting on in the world; to be care fu and saving. instead of thoughtless and wasteful, is getting on; to be ac- tive and industrious, instead of idle and lazy, is getting on to be kind and forbcaring, instead of ill-natured and quarresome, is getting on; to work as diligently in the masters absence as in his presence, is getting on; in short, when we see any one properly attend ing to his duties, persevering through such difficulties to gain such knowl- edge as shall be of use to himself and others, and offering good example to his relatives aud acquaintances, we may be sure that we are getting on in the world. Money is a very useful article in its way, but it is possible to get on with small means, for it is a mistake to suppose that we must wait for good deal of money before we can do anything. Perseverance is often better than full purse. There are more helps toward getting on than is generally supposed; many people lag behind or miss the way altogether, be- cause they do not see the abundant and simple means which surround them on all sides, and so it happens that there arc aid which cannot be bought with money. Those who wish to get on ill the world must have stock of patti ence, of hopeful confidence, willing ness to learn, and disposition not easily. cast down by difficulties and disappointments.

 In assuming the position of publisher of a newspaper, am embarrassed with the apprehension that it may be assumed by some of my friends that I am passing be- yond the legitimate sphere which conven tonalism has assigned to my sex but be- ing born and bred in a printing office, and from early childhood having devoted my self to the noble profession by engaging practically in the work, making myself fully conversant with all the details of the business, knowing no other employment by which to secure livelihood for my self and a support for my father, in his enfeebled and declining years, and scorn- ing to be come an idler in these days of my country's dreadful need, am em- boldened to take the position, and trust that I will be able to discharge the duties connected with it to the profit and the sat isfaction of the patrons of the Advocate. Henceforth ss in the past, we hope the paper will prove itself q faithful chronicler of events, valuable counselor, and be welcome visitor wherever it goes.

Stringilalt sn Horses.

This blemish ill horses has been de- fined to be ia nervous affection for which there is no cure" Until recent ly this definition would have been ac- cepted as genuine. A more thorough knowledge of the veterinary art in con nection with closeranatomical knowl- edge of the horse, has rendered that version obsolete.
 This affection is now shown to be, not one originating in nervous debili- ty, but one arising from the strain and consequent inflammation of an elastic cord, extending fr0n the hook to the hoof joint. This cord lies immediate ly under the main middle vein, and in case of strain, the inflammation which ensues may effect the nerves and other parts in sympathy, calling ot the mu- cous secretions, rendering this cord elastic, and thus causing britch or halt.
 If the skin is slit by skillful and steady hand, four inches above the hoof of the affected leg, and this cord be carefully drawn with an awl and sev- cred. it will relieve the horse of all lamenes, as soon as the wound is heal ed. and experience has shown that no iniufy results from the operation.-- The inoision should be washed often with warm castillo soap suds, and an noin.ed with sweet oil, or some heal ing ointment and the horse kept quiet till the cure is effected.--Rural Ameri- can.

A Poor Memory.


 There are various reasons why some persons have poor memory.
 They may have overworked their brain, and exhausted the energies of the nervous system. A majority of the people tax their minds to the utmost, and instead of reinvigorating them selves after exhaustion, continue their iabors until their systems are deranged by excessive mental application, and the bsain loses the power of retaining the impression made upon it. Many have disqualified themselves for men, tai labor by overchaeging their brains with more than they can do. It re- quires great pressure of mind, much tirmness and decision of character for an ardent, enthusiastic person tn take rest when work presses upon him, and opportunities for labor multiply, and he frequently continues in business ill sickness entirely disables him from pursuing his calling.
 Inactivity of mind is another fruit ful source of a poor memory. How ever strong and vigorous the mind may be, originally, unless exercised, it is like gold and silver laid away in a napkin. which soon becomes tarnish- ed, though if used daily, they would be bright for years.
 Irregularity of life is another reason for poor memory. If persons are sub iect to extremes, sometimes getting up early and sometimes late in the morn ing if they indulge in excesses of any kind, or triic with their organization so as to impair it's power. they cannot expect to have clear ideas on any sub good memory. Ii is important to live systematically and meth edically if we would wish to pre- serve the brain in good condition.
 Dissipation spells the memory When the nervous system is over-stim- ulated by alcohol, tobacco, opium, or by anything that excites the brain, the result is unfortunate. IL may increase the brilliancy for a time, but soon the constitution becomes effected by the oyer-stimulation, and the mind will be consequently more dull aud obtuse than ever.

MANNERS. s.-There is nothing which adds so much to young mans success in life-next to honesty of purpose--as the practice of good manners. po- lite man will show his good breeding wherever he goes, on the sidewalks, in the buggy, aa well as in your parlor. If you meet a man who refuses to give you half the road, or to turn out on the sidewalk, you may class him as man with no sense of justice in his soul. When we speak of polite men we do not wish to be understood as referring to one who bows low and takes off his hat to ladies and men of positions, and turns away from the poor man, but we mean the honest face-the man who always carries smile on his counten- ance, and who never turns his face away from the poor we mean the man who has kind salutation when he meets you in the morning, and pleas ant Good night" in the evening; a man whose face is the index to his heart, which is always devoid of of fence. Such man is bound to succeed ; such one will find friends. Young men, be polite.

Hosc to Dispose cf Potatoes .Sholcing Rot.-A correspondent of an Irish news paper claims to have heard of plan to stop the decay of diseased potatoes. He writes it:as follows: have just heard of plan to preserve partially diseased pota- toes from further decay, for pig-feeding. As this is year in which the disease is prevalent, very likely such a plan will be universally adopted. When the diseased potatoes are sorted they should be taken and boiled, after which they are allowed to dry by their own heat, and then put in to barrels and pressed down in pulp, covered with moisted yellow clay. Then cover the barrel and allow it to stand by until required for use. A friend of mine. by so doing, kept them for nine mouths in fact until all he had were used out, they being in as good state at the end of that period as when boiled"
 Keepiag Corn.--A grea, deal of corn is wofully wasted after all the trouble and expense of blowing, planting and harve- sting This waste is absolutely wicked, and with trifing extra care may be easily rcmedied In the first place in husking, yigilant look out ought to be kept that DO unripe, unsound ear or half made 'nub- bin goes in with the pile that is to go in to the crib. The big pen is the better place for all such material One unsound ear may, and often does, damage bushel of sound corn.
 Next, wherever you are going to put corn to keep, put coal or gas tar about the premises pretty literally at first. It is an utter abomination to rats and mice They will not board in the corn crib favored pretty strongly with gas tar. Half dol lars worth of tar will save ten dollars worth of corn.
 Very meny people seem to suppose that corn may be kept in any sort of a crib, as open as Jack Straw's house, neither wind nor water tight, so that it is housed under tolerable roof. So it can-but never long in marketable condition. While corn cribs ought always to afford free ventilation, they should be so constructed as to shut out all storms, either rain or snow. Better grow less corn and keep il sound than prize crops and let it spoil.--- Ex.

Protection to plants In winter.

All our readers know that snow is the very best plant protector. But we do not know that it is much better than earth drawn over the plants just as winter is about to set in. We have frequently recommended this in our columns, but not near as much is made of this fact as might be.
 For instance, every one knows how much better cuttings root when taken off in the fall, than when it is deferred till spring but the fear of having them drawn out by frost seems a greater evil Now many adopt our plan, Put the cutting in, fall, and cover with two or three inches of earth. In the spring they will be through to the surface or if not, some of the earth can be taken of.
 Much use also is made of the fact, to get young seeding stock set out. It used to be the fashion to buy them in the fall, and bury them completely up in heap till spring, covering tops and all but spring always finds more work than the nurseyman can do.
 Under this new system of earth protec- tion, he now. sets out his young stock where it is to remain, covering it entirely with earth and uncovering it early in the spring. By this means he gets an i'm mense amount of work done in the fall is time otherwise unemployed Gardeners Monthly.

RTDuring the next ses

R@ During the next session of Con- gress, the project of the assumption by Government of the control of all the telegraph lines in the country will be vigorously pressed. A bill has been prepared on this subject, which it is asserted, has been approved by the Postmaster General, and has received the individual assent of the members of the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. The law, as proposed, contemplates a reduction of rates, so that messages not exceeding twenty words, can be sent any distance for 20 cents or less.
