A paper gives the following re-

HOG CHOLERA.-W. Fulton, NJ.
D., writes the Chicago Republican
that the following is a specific
remedy for hog cholera, discover
ed by Mr.. T. McFee, of Mclean
county, Illinois, and that there
has not been a single instance
known of it's failing to cure:
''Take the polygonnm pnactdtan'
or common smartweed-of which
there are two varieties, the large
and small, use both combined, OF
the small variety alone; make 9
strong decoction by boiling; ado
to this slop, and get the hogs tt
drink all you can. The effect il
almost magical; your hog i'm
proves, sheds off, and fattens be
yond expectation. 1t is a fin
thing to give hogs that have n
cholera, to make them improv
faster.

The Art of Thinking.

One of the" best modes OF i'm
proving the art of thinking is to-
think over some subject before
youread upon it, and then observe
after what manner ithas occurred
to the mind of the great master.
You will then observe whether
you have been too rash or too
timid, what you have omitted and
in what you have exceeded, and
by this process you will insensibly
catch a great manner OF viewing
question. 1t is right in study,
not only to think whenever any
extraordinary incident provokes
you to think, but from time to
| time what has passed; to dwell
upon it, and to see what trains OF
thought voluntarily present them
selves to the mind. It is a most
superior habit of some minds to
refer all the particular truths
which strike them to other truths
more general, so that their knowl
| edge is beautifully methodized
and the general truth at any time
suggests all the particular ekem
pllfication at once leads to the
general truth. This kind of IN
derstanding has an immense ano
decided superiority oyerthose con
fused heads in which one fact il
we'll piled upon another withou
the least attempt at classification
and arrangement. Some men al
ways read with a pen in thel
hand, and commit to paper an,
: new thought which strikes them
others trust to chance for its II
appearance. Which of these i
, the best method in the conduct Q
/ the understanding, must, l SUI
pose, depend a great deal upo
the particular understanding i
question. Some men can d
nothing without preparation; oil
ers little with it; some are foul
