the wonderful cures which We're produced Ivy
this drink, Abraham said: s.My children must
not suffer; give mo thy drink to drink, and I

And so Abraham drank, md said there was
nothing like it, even in Sangamon county;
that it was bitter to the lips, but good for the
stomach; and because there were bitter times
in fighting the masters of the plantations, it
shall be for evermore called PLANTATION B1T-
TIERS; and so it has been.
And tho wonderful work which it hns per-
formed is witnessed at this day in every town,

suffer from feyers, dyspepsia, weakness, loss
Of appetite, nervous headache, and mental

''The oyster raker, on arriving at the bed,
takes up favorable position and at once
commences operations by plunging his
tongs into the bed, taking care that the
jaws are open. On feeling bottom he,
with q peculiar rocking motion of his body
and boat, takes a firm hold of the accumu-
lated oysters, and on getting u full load he
hauls up the rake and dumps the contents
into tho boat. Each rake brings up nearly
q b,lshel of OYSTERS md and waste shells,
and as soon as the boat is laden the raker
pulls in shore. lie then selects favOra-
BE location on the beach, and shovels tho
mass ont Of the boat in thick layer on tho
shore, usually taking care that the -incom-
ing tide has access to it to wash tho mud
out. The process of wedding is rapidly
gone through with, ana the oysters arc
