Nature is the Great Physician.

This is now admitted, BY the medical profess
sion, as a fundamental priAeiple OF healing
science. 1t is wisely provided BY the human
economy that whenever anything is wrong in
the physical system the natural forces OF the
body are brought TO bear to eNpcl the disease.
The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen the
natural powers This has been kept in view By
the skiIlful cOmpounders of HOS"ETTER'S
STOMACH BIrTf RS, which operates TO give
fresh vitality to all the organs of the body. The
effect of this medicine upon the stomach, the
liver and the Kidneys is prompt and decisive
The patient who is wise enough 10 quit drug

had taken new lease of life, and as he con.
tinues the use Of the article he is OveriOyed TO

The first Napoleon wrote to his broth
er Louis: "Your wife il an excellent and
virtuous woman, yet you make her un'
happy. Allow her to dance as much as
she likes; tits the fashion of the age
Ny wife is forty years old: from my
camp l tell her to 60 to balls. YetyouI
wish is that your wife, only just TWEEN
ty, and in the flush ofyouth, should shut
herself up and spend her days like q
nurse in dressing her baby. You are too
much a master at home. and not er ough
in -FOUR government. Make the mother
of your children happy. There is only
one way-show her great deal OF es'
TEEN and confidence. Unlnckily your
wife is yirtuous. Were she coquette,
she would lead you by the nose. You
should have a wife such as some
know of. She would put you down and
keep you at her feet. Ii is not my fault
if she has not done so already"

Care of Pastures.

Observations, made this spring for
the purpose, have showed the great su-
periority of the new grass where 1T has
grown on land not closely grazed the
previous autumn. The protection which
the old grass afforded from the severe
freezing and the sharp blasts OF winter,
resulted in q growth from three to five
times as great as GU closely grazed sur
faces, during tue first start of To. fresh
grass. When the lattGr had grown one
Inch, the former, by actual measure
ment, had grown four or five inches.
There arc several advantages IN permit
ting long grass in autumn, and indeed at
all times OF the Year. Psychologists, as
we'll as practical hortiCulturists, know
that keeping the foliage cropped short,
lessons the extension and development
of the roots. A pasture grazed short all
the time will therefore be found to have
q thinner turf or mass of roots than one
where the grass has a luXuriart growth.
The stronger roots will make an earlier
and more vigorous push III spring. The
old grass, IUiting down, serves AS d top
dressing. 1t protects the young plants
when the SNOW disappears, aud Keeps
them warmer. The earth freezes less
in winter when tins protected. We
have found by examining the soil in the
early part of winter, where bare and
exposed surface had frozen down to u
depth of six inches, that closely grazed
pasture was frozen four inches. and
grass few inches high, making a COW
ering oftwo or three inches, vas frozen
fir M two to two aud u hali inches,
while thicker covering. az in rich pas
lures, had prevented the freezing of
more than an inch This slriking diff
ference must have great influence on
eaIly growth.
Some farmers pursue the mistaken
course of tdrsing too many animals IN
TO their pastures, with the hope OF get
ting all they can from the land. They
are like the man who would Starve his
team for the purpose ofredncing the ex-
penses of hoise labor, OF him who
should feed out in spring all his seed,
that he mis- hit sell the rest of his grain.
They would Obtaid much more from
their fields if they allowed the grass TO
grow foot high. We have seen those
who were too poor to be economical,
aud wasted half their green feed by
keeping il constantly eaten CLOSE into
the roots. They continually worked at
the short end OF the lever.
One of the finest farms We ever had
the pleasure of examining, devoted
chiefly to grazing, would cut nearly II
ton of grass in the pastures a. almost
any time. The beef cattle which fat
tened on these pastures, were worth IN
market from hundred and fifty to two
hundred dollars each. These fields
were subjected to blowing aud rotation
every few years, with heavy seeding
when laid down. A part were kept
permantly IN grass-being moved four
or Eve years, and then pastured two
years with cattle. When the hay began
to fail, they were restored by the pas
turing. Top dressing was given only
tn the land when in meadow, and never
to pasture, as il rendered the feed
strong and unpalatable. Plaster was
found not only to add to the quantity
of the grass, but, as was asserted, to
sweeten it and improve its fattening
qualities.

Roo, Cron. for Feedipg.

We believe there is q steady increase
in the cultivation of turnips, parsnips,
beets. and carrots, for feeding cattle.
Intelligent men who have tried the ex-
pertinent fairly are not content to go
back again to feeding with hay and
grain exclusively. There is great crav-
ing among cattle for something succu-
lent and juicy in the winter, that is
best met by these roots. The animals
thrive better, and other food goes fur
ther, for this change in the diet. We have
no doubt that the cultivation of roots
as field crops would extend much more
rapidly if farmers knew how easily they
could be raised. With suitable imple-
ments nearly all the cultivation can be
done by horse power. The only occa-
sion for be- baud hoe IS in the first
wedding and in thinning out the plants
to make a good stand. Old ground is
better than a fresh-turned sod, as the
soil need to be finely pulverized. We
have always had the best results from
deep blowing aud subsolling. Fine
compost or concentrated fertilizers
shsn d be used, one half plowed in and
the other half sown broadcast and har-
rowed in. 1t is a help to soak beet,
carrot, ard parsnip seed for a day be-
fore sowing. Then NIX them with su-
perphospsie of lime, and SOW with a
drill The young plants make their ap.
pearance before the weeds, and the rows
are so strongly marked that they can be
hoed out with very little labor. The
cul,ivator sRould be started between
the rows as soon as the plants are yisi-
bic Very much labor is saved, and lar,
ger crops are realized by timely aud
ir standardization. Stir the ground be-
tween the rows every ten days until
the plauts get possession. Parsnips
should be put in early in the spring;
Carrots sewn June sth make n good
crop in the latitude of New York, and
Rutabagas and White French turnips
NAV be delayed until July LIST. IL IS
EASY to raise from 600 to 1000 bushels
of roots to the acre at al expense OF not
more than Is cents bushel. Try an
acre of roots.

Constitution nj Differences.

There are many constitutions SO inherently
defective in energy. as to derive great benefit
Fl ON moderate use of pure liquor combined
with such vegetable medicines and extracts as
enter into the composition of ROback's Stomach
Btters, and there are many situations in which
even the healthiest derive additional security
from their occasiOualuse.
If healthy persons are exposed TO unusual
and continued exertion in confined air, or under
the heat of the sun, or to the influence OF de
pressing watchfnlness by travelling, aud change
of diet and water, or il residents Of malarious
districts or the rank river bottoms OF the West
and South. there can be no doubt but careful
use of RobdckS Stomach BitterS with the food
would ssrrly be the means of warding sf actual

Discovery of Gold Mines in AfrIcs


A German traveller, named Mauch, a
member Of the Geographical Society OF
GOths, has recently arrived at Natal
from journey of exploration in the in
terror of Africa. He reports having
discovered two gold mines, one of them
of great extent, and situated about 600
miles from Natal, i'll a northwest direc-
ton. These mines are in u country
governed by two chiefs, who can bring
into the field 10000 warriors between
them. The country is very healthy,
and water is abundant. The geological
character iof the country indicates an
extraordinary amoInt of aurifcrous
wealth. There are but few of the abor-
igines in the neighberhood of the mines.
The existence of small pits abont three
yards deep, throughout the region,
would seem to indicate as DIR. Livings-
tone has already said, that in former
times the Kaffirs were acquainted with
the art Of extracting the precious metal.
M. Mauch took with him to Natal twen-
~ meteorological specimens. The aurif-
erous ones consisted of light colored
quartz, containing several pieces of
gold, and the Others contained iron and
lead. All the information given by
this traveller confirms the description of
the country in question whic. DR.. Liv-
iugstone furnishes in Z first edition of
his Travels"

AT a sale in Hines county Ga. last week, a
splendid village residence with ten acres of i'm
proved land brought $50; plantation of seven
hundred acres was sold for $ls+, and thirty acres
of fine cotton land for So.
It was contended, before the abolition Of
slavery, that the consumation of that meas
urelwoald greatly enhance the value Of
real estate. But anyone with half an eye
can now see whatruin has been effected by
this act of national robbery. Instead Of
advancing the price of real estate, it has
reduced it so low that it will hardly sell
for its taxes.

The foolish bondholders, on the Atlantic
coast, have not the faintest idea of how ter
ribly in earnest the great North West is
about paying off the public indebtedness in
the same currency In ,ehich it pas controc-
ted. 1t will be the part of wisdom, in the
Bondholders, to compromise, and to take
their, pay in greenbacks-not more depre-
ciated than these were in 18G3-64-when
80 much of the debt was contracted. w
are in favor Of paying off the debt honestly,
in .greenbacks, at not less than an average
worth of fifty cents ON the god dollar. Thit
will be handsome profit for old money

ty.fue cents on the dollar, and have been
drawing gold interest at par, ever since.

The latest news from the Federal capi-
tol, is that reconstruction is still the order
of the day in Congress, and radicalism as
rampant as ever.

all is quiet, The President won't recog-
nize Stanton Fas Secretary Of War, and
won't lose his temper. Stanton won't go
out of the War Department and Grant
still keeps fishing for the presidency,
Newspapers are talking Of tearing the veil
from before Mr.. Grant and letting people
see him in his true character.
