proper thing in declaring that the relapsing

PICKING THE EARs.-"Pick-

GNkING THE EARS.-"G1Ck-
ing the ears" is a most mis-
chevous practice in attempt
ing to do this with hard snb-
stances, an unlucky motion has
many a time pierced the drum;
nothing sharper or harder than
the end of the little finger, with
the nail paired, ought ever to
be introduced into the ear, un-
less by a physician; persons are
often seen endeavoring to re-
move the "wax" of the ear with
the head of a pin ; this ought
never to be done, first, because
it not only endangers the rup-
ture of the ear by being push
ed too far in, but if not so far,
it may crate against the drum,
excite inflammation and an ul-
Ger which will finally eat all the
parts away, especially of a
scrofulous constitution; second,
hard substances have often Slip
ped in and caused the necessi-
ty of painful operations to fish
or cut out; third, the wax is
manufactured by nature to
guard the entrance from dust,
insects, and unmodified cold
air, and when it has subserved
its purpose it becomes dry,
scaly, light, and in this condi-
tfon is easily pushed outside,

harden and may interfere with
the hearing; but when this is
the case, it is. the part of wis

let him decide what is the
remedy, if one cannot be had,
the only safe plan is to let fall

ferable to either, it is one of
the blandest fluids in nature

parts and restores them to

TIGHT LACING A BENEFIT
A leaned doctor, referring to
tight lacing, AYERS that it is a
positive benefit, inasmuch as it
kills all the foolish girls, and
leaves all the wise ones to grow
up to be women.
A case in point: A girl in
Chester, VT, diedrecently from
tight lacing. Forseveral months
previous to her death, this
wretched victim to a foolish
fashion was compelled to sleep
with. her corsets on, and strung
up to their utmost power, as
by loosening, great pains rose
internally, and no relief but by
compression. Was such a wo-
man fit for a wife or mother ?
Better out of the world than in
it! Here is one cause of puny
children who die in infancy.

Daniel Webster said of agri-
culture: No man is so high as
to be Independent of the sue
cess of this great interest; and
no manis SO low as not to be
affected by its prosperity or
decline. The cultivation of the
earth is the most important la
bor of man. Man may be civil
lized, in some degree, without
great progress in manufactures,
and with little commerce with
his distant neighbors, but with
out cultivation of the earth, he
is in all countries a savage
Until he gives up the chase and
fixes himself to some place and
seeks a living from the earth,
he is a roaming barbarian
When tillage begins, other arts
follow. The farmers, there
fore, are the founders of civili-
zation."

Washington said: "Agri-
culture is the most healthful,
the most useful and the most
delightful of all employments." /"
Many a day did Washington fol-
low the plow and WELD the hoe.
And yet there are Southern

into any little petty office, and
engage in any menial employ
ment, rather than follow the
example of the Father of his
country There is no soil on
the globe that SO richly repays
labor as the Southern soil. It
excels all others from five to

ducts. With. this fertile land

RuraI Old Kentucky" F"

or,s once, yesterday, a quaint,
honest old couple, hailing from
"Big HiIl," Jackson county,
Kentucky, a district of country
where, it is said, a wheeled We
hicle is rarely seen, and iftrans-
ported there, would be of no
manner of use, as the hills, as
they are called mountains
rather,) are very much on the
perpendicular. The old man
gave his name as Joshua Brock.
1t might have been Joseph
Brock, judging from his coat of
many colors. 1t (the coat) was
composed of"yaller" Kentucky
jeans, interspersed with patch
es of grey ana blue of the same
material, and looked, for all the
world, like an aggravated case
Of smallpox. The old man
told his story to the Mayor, in
his own quaint style and lam
quage. He had lived in "Big
HilP' over 60 years, was in bis
list year, and had served in
the Union army at Mill Springs
and other battles; had a. bullet
in his leg; had also a son killed
in battle for the y nion, and was
proud of his family record in
the war. He and the sold Wo-
man" had walked from Big Hill
to a point 81 miles back of Gov
ington, where some benevolent
parties put them on the cars
the first ride of the kind they
had ever taken-and they
reached Covington at s o'clock
Friday night. He had a broth
er on the "Dry Forks of White
River,".. and he and the "old
woman" wanted to go there.
He had bis third wife, and
guessed they might find kin
up there in that neck of the
woods"
The "old woman" here broke
into the confab, and said
"Look here speaking to the
Mayor Mister, is there emmy
place about here where a body
could bake a little bread p
taking from hefshouldera large
possible SACK" in which she
said she had a mite of -four.
