Respected Friend, E. NJ. ALLEN-I am free to
say that consider the Cayuga Chief as good a
Mower as | have seen in operation, being of light
draught and operating well in wet and lodged
grass, and running so much better on billy lands
than the single wheel machine we have been
using, that l consider the gain fully equal to
the cost Of the machine.

Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a

the action of flame destroys this tits active
principle), leaving dark and glutnous decoc-
ton. Mine is the color of ingredients. The
Buchu in my preparation predominates; the
smallest quantity of the other ingredients are
added, toprevent fermentation upon inspection,
it will be found not to be Tincture, as made
in PharmacopGa, nor is it a Syrup-and there
fore can be used in cases where fever or infam-
nation exist. In this, you have the knowledge
OF the ingredients and the mode of preparation.

cabalistic pieces of leather as carefully re-
placed the brick.
In few days Friday returned. Some
heavy rain having fallen during his absence,
all marks of disturbance in the pavement
were effaced. Friday still continued to
grow worse, and in few days more his mas
ter produced letter from long envelope with
a singular looking postmark and mysterious
characters on it, which he informed him
was from the Indian doctor. The letter of
this wise sachem, as his master read it to
Friday, informed him that the conjuring
gourd had no power of evil in his case, but
that the person who had put the spell on him
had hidden two charms; that if one of these
could be found and certain conditions OBJ
served, the other could also and if they were
both alike the spell would be broken. The
letter went on to describe the place where
one of them was hidden. 1t was in an old
churchyard but the doctor could not say
where the church was: it might be in America
or England or France. The description
of the church, however, was so graphic
that by the time his master had read it
through, the white of Fridays eyes had
enlarged considerably, and he gaspingly ex-
claimed, $50 God, Mas Antony! it's Christ
church, here in dis very town! His master
here laid aside the letter, and bringing his
fist heavily down on the table declared that it
charm, SO said the doctors letter, was under
the topmost loose brick (Which was covered
with leaves) of a certain old tomb, the fourth
one from the gate, on the left-hand side of
the middle walk, going in. 1t was to be
taken from under the brick, and by the be-
witched, going out of the churchyard back
ward-all the time repeating the Lords
Prayer. He was to turn around when he
reached the street and throw a handful of
sulphur backward over the wall
The day on which the letter was read to
the patient, Aunt Sina was sent on an errand
which would detain her all night; and when
the moon was we'll up Friday complied with
all the conditions, his master awaiting his
return. Then few bricks in the pavement
were removed with much difficulty, and the
other charm was found. They were compared
by the light of red wax candle in his mas
ter's Office, and to Fridays Joy, one was an
exact duplicate of the other, ''Now, Friday,
drink this" said Mas Anthony, handing
him large tumbler of whisky, into which he
had stirred a teaspoonful of sulphur taken
from the same paper as that he had thrown
over the churchyard wall. ''The spell is
broken, and if you sleep we'll tonight you
will be all right in a day or two. Remember,
though, if you hint to old Sina anything
about breaking the SPELL she will bewitch
you again. Now go to bed"
OF course Friday slept well. With his
mind at ease, and under the influence of
nearly pint of whisky, why shouldn't he t?
He soon recovered his health, his garrulity,
and his loud laugh"

TYRlAE PURPLE. The ancient wealth
and opulence OF Tyre came principally
from Its purple dye. About fifteen hum
dred years before Christ, it is said, the
king Of Phnnicia was 50 captivated with
the color, that he made il his greatest
ornament, and Tyrian purple thus be-
come an emblem Of royalty In the
time OF Augustus, a pound Of wool dyed
in Phguicia was worth about hundred
and fifty dollars. The purple was OBJ
tanned from small vessel or sac IN the
throat OF certain shell-f fish, to the
amount Of about one drop from each
animal. Az first it is colorless liquid ;
but, by exposure to the air and the
bright sunlight Of the Tyrian coast, it
assumes successfully citron, yellow,
green, azure, red. and, in the course Of
forty-eight hous brilliant parple hue.
The color, besides i great brilliancy,
is also remarkable for its durability
plutarch says in bis life Of Alexander
that, at the taking OF Susa, the Greeks
found in the royal treasury Of Darius, 0
qnAntity Of purple cloth Of the value o.
five thousand talents, which still re-
tanned its beauty, although it bad lain
there nearly two hundred years The
color resists the action Of all alkalies
aud most acids.
