Good Advice to Dyspeptics.

If a man wishes to get rid of
dyspepsia he must give his
stomach and brain less to do
1t will be ofno service to him
to follow any particular regi-
men-tO live on chaff bread, or
any such stuff-tO weigh his
food, etc, so long as the brain
is in a constant state of excite
ment. Let that have proper
rest, and the stomach will per-
form its function. But if he
pass fourteen or fifteen hours a
day in his Office or counting
room, and take no exercise, his
stomach will inevitably become
paralyzed, and if he puts moth
ing into it but a cracker a day,
it will not digestit. In many
cases it is the brain that is the
primary cause. Give that del
icate organ some rest. Leave
your business behind you when
you 60 to your home. Do not
sit down to your dinner with
your brows knit, and your mind
absorbed in casting up interest
accounts. Never abridge the
usual hour of sleep. Take
more or less exercise in the open
air every day. Allow yourself
some innocent recreation. Eat
moderately, slowly, and Of what
you please-proyided it be not
the shovel and tongs. If any
particular dish disagree5 with
you, however, never touch it, or
look at it. Do not imagine
that you must live on rye bread
nor oatmeal porridge; a reason
able quantity of nutritious food
is essential to the mind as we'll
as to the body. Above all,
Danish all thoughts of the sub
ject. If you have any treatises
on dyspepsia, domestic medi-
cine, etc, put them directly in
to the fire. If you are con-
stantly talking and thinking
about dyspepsia, you will sure
ly have it. Endeavor to for
get that you have a stomach.
Keep clear conscience live
temporarily, regularly, Clearly;
be industrious, too, but be tenn
perate.

Lime as a Soil Amendment.
Many diseases of the soil ar

Many diseases of the soil are
removed by a liberal dressing
of quick lime. When the soil is
of a peaty character, as that Of
wet land newly drained, the
caustlc properties of lime will
act upon the vegetable matter
making it soluble plant food,
and it will also act on the min
eral matters in the soil, elimi-
mating the potash and phospho-
ric acid. When lime is applied
to clay, it makes the clay more
friable and dissolves the silicic
acid, and other insoluble sill
Gates, into an assimilable state,
necessary not only to the
growth of the plants, but also
to strengthen the straw of the
cereals. The opinion is gain
ing in England that it is better
to lime often and in small guam
tities-say s to 10 bushels per
acre-than to apply s or 10
tons per acre at one time, as
the larger quantity rendered a
poor soil too loose. But Prof.
johnson says too much lime is
a mechanical evil, not chemi-
cal one: that even an excess
Of the carbonate of lime in the
soil does not lessen it's chemi-
cal fertility This is a strong
argument for lining even a lime
stone soil proper. The best
Pennsylvania farmers act upon
it. The practice is common in
limestone districts there to burn
lime solely for a soil amend
ment; and some farmers spread
40 to 60 bushels per acre on
their grass lands annually
Yet we are told by Prof. Voeli-
ker and others, that land con-
tanning 4 per cent. of the car
Donate of lime needs no lining.
This is only true on soils of rare
mechanical formation, like river
bottoms, which need nothing
but tillage to make them
productive.

LINES. ON A SKELETON.

Some forty years ago the following
poem was found in the London Morning
Chronicle. Every effort was vainly made
to discover the author, even to the offer
ing a reward of fifty guineas. All that
ever transpired was that the poem, in a
fair, clerkIy hand, was found GEAR a skele'
ton of remarkable symmetry of form in
the Museum of the Royal College of Sur
geon Lincoln's Inn, London, and that
the Curator of the Museum had sent them
to the editor of the Morning Chronicle.
Behold this ruinl Twas skull,
Once of ETHEREAL spirit full.
This narrow cell was lifes retreat.
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot,
Not Hope, nor Joy, nor Love, nor Fear,
Have left one trace oe record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy,
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it CLEANED,
But through it dews of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright,
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue;
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise was chained;
If bold in Virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never broke
This silent tongue shall plead for thee,
When Time unveils ETERNITY.
Say, did those fingers delve the mine;
Or with the envied rubies shine
To hew the rock or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that waits on Wealth or Fame.
Avails it, whether bare or shod,
These feet the path of duty trod l
If from the bowers of Ease they fed,
To seek Affections humble shed;
If Grandeur's guilty bride they spurned,
And home to virtue cot returned,
These wings with angels wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.

Club Foot I'm Cabbage.

preaching when seeding for cab
bage plants will be in order, a
word or two about club foot
may not be out of place. Some
contend, with a good show of
reason, that growing cabbage
on the same ground for several
years in succession tends to the
production of club foot, but as
this disease is known sometimes
to infest cabbage the first sea-
son on the ground, continuous
cropping cannot be the sole
cause oft In some cases it
is traced to larvae of some in
sect, operating at the base of
the stem of the plant, which
produced elongated swelling or
blotches, giving shelter to the
pests which feed upon its vital
juices, retard its growth and
cause decay. Frequent chan
ges of ground may do much
towards checking the disease,
while other aids are found in a
liberal application of wood
ashes, mari or dust or charcoal
dibhled in at the time of setting
out the plants. 1t is recommen-
ded, by some, to combine fresh
SCOT and powdered saltpetre in
the proportion of four quarts of
the former and one pound of the
latter mixed with water to the
consistency Of tar. At the time
of planting immerse each root
in the proportion, and club foot
will not trouble the cabbage
ground for that season at least.
Medical Qualities of Pumpkins.
A prominent physician of
New York City speaking of the
properties of pumpkins, says
that in his travels in Syria he
found pumpkin seeds almost
universally eaten by the people
for their supposed medical
qualities Not because they
are diuretic; but as an antidote
against animaluculae, which
infest the bowels. They are
sold in the streets as nuts and
are here. It's said to
be a medical fact that persons
have been cured of tape-worm
by the use of pumpkin seeds.
The outer skin being removed,
the seeds are bruised in a NOR
ter into an oily, pasty, mass.
1t is swallowed by the patient
after fasting some hours, and it
takes the place of chyle in the
and the tape-worm
lest go its hold on the mem
brane and becomes gorged with
this substance, and, in some
probably torpid. Then
4 large dose of castor oil is ad-
and the worms are
to renew their hold.

Remedy for Group.

The following remedy for
Group was given by Prof. Bron-
son, a physiological lecturer,
now deceased: LET healthy
person fill his lungs with pure
air, then slowly breathe upon
the patients throat and chest,
commencing at the point of the
chin, and moving down to the
bottom of the windpipe. Re-
peat for a few minutes, and it
will give relief in cases where
all other means fail"

Sent to Sing Sing-Convicttan Of
the Murderer Of Alice lSOTlsby.

On his formal examination Rosenzweig
said he was physiciaf. 80 years of age
and then, in reply to the question what he
had to say why sentence should not be
pronounced, actually had the brazen eff
frontery and brute courage to stand up
and say, Il am not guilty, SIR" without
tremor in his face. This took Recorder
lackett by surprise, and he shuddered.-
He recovered in minute and said, 'Ros-
enzweig. | have observed you during this
trial. You are a man of the most desper-
ate courage and coolness. devoid of the
smallest tinge of human charity. You
are a physician, an educated man. and
dangerous man. You stand to-day CON
victed of what, if the law was what |
would wish il, would be murder in the
first degree. and the punishment of which
would be death. l fully agree in the
views held by my colleague. Judge Bed
ford, regarding this most barbarous crime,
and will unite with him in endeavoring to
have the penalty, on conviction, be made
capital punishment. / only regret that
the law is constituted as it is constituted,
SO that cannot infict upon you, the vii
that | now impose-seven years in the
State Prison with hard labor" Then
there came burst of applause through
the room which the court officers could
not suppress, and Rosenzweig was hurri
ed back to the prisoners box.
The court room was rapidly cleared by
the officers of all save Rosezweig's wife
and daughter, who were conducted into
the prisoners box to see him for the last
time previous to his removal. Mrs. Ros-
enzweig cried bitterly, and said, "Oh,
how can l bear this !" bat the terrible
passion evinced by the daughter Rosa
was something CHASTITY. This girl, petite.
angular, about fourteen years of age, with
series of historical shrieks, knelt on the
matted floor of the prison box and shrek
ed out: "Oh, may God curse everyone
who has went against you, father; may
their flesh rot from their bones; may
their lives wither up; may they die rot
ton oh, father, if die for it, I'll have
all their lives" and then she clasped her
arms around Rosenzweig's neck and clung
to him convulsively. But even at this.
the most trying scene of all, Rosenzweig
did not shed q tear. His face showed a
slight trace of feeling, but no more. The
officers parted them, and Rosenzweig was
hurried dows the stairs. Outside crowd
of about five hundred people awaited his
coming. When he appeared they set up
loud shout, and hooted and hissed The
door of the van was opened, one of the Of
fcers hustled him IN, and in moment
the van dashed away, bearing Jacob Ros-
enzweig. the terrible abortionist, to his
prison honey. Y. Wortd.

A Home R eview.

A correspondent Of The South. jour-
nal published in New York city, thus de
scribes Tennessee
A truthful description of the natural
features of Tennessee would sound like a
romance to one who had never visited the
State. Its varied topography, diversity
of soil and productions, vast quantities of
useful minerals, and delightful and salu-
brious climate, with thousand beautiful
and useful incidents, make it appear the
favorate of nature. Across the eastern
border is the broad. rich land of the Cum
berland plateau mountain top thirty
miles broad, embroidered with swift-fow-
ing brooks and rivers, and male pictures
que with fertile valleys, ravines, CULTS,
coves. and precipices: while over all are
glorious forests. Thousands of acres of
coal, thick veins of from, copper, lead,
variegated marble, and other minerals,
are in this border. Mineral springs. tre-
mendous water-powers, and, in fact, eve-
rything that is desirable for health, beau
ty, and industrial economies, abound in
this region, and make it the most availa-
bic for manufacturing district in the
Union. And of this region as Of the
whole of the State. it may be truly said
that with its geographical position-lying
just between the Northern and southern
States-its numerous navigable rivess and
network of railroads, it is readily aceessa-
BILE to the markets of all parts of the I'm
ion and further, that it produces some-
thing for all those markets. Next to this
section is the grand central basin, which
for fertility is unsurpassed. Evidences
of its resources and pleasantness as res
idence may be found in the large number
of wealthy towns, and all the concomitant
advantages and luxuries of wealth. West
of this extends the rich valleys of the
Tennessee and Mississippi rivers. The
Of East Tennessee is that of North
ern Italy, but owing to its elevation, it is
entirely free from malaria and disease in
cident. Towards the West the climate
grows warmer until in Southwest Tennes-
see we have that of South France, and
equally salubrious.

The spirits which haunt houses come,
sometimes, to material grief. So it was
at Peoria, where an edifce was greatly
disturbed by ghost; but the inmates,
instead of sending for person to lay the
apparition, watched and walked until they
got chance to put half a pint of bird
shot into the specter, when il turned out
that the mysterious visitor was named
McGraw, and, though not so lovely as the
ghost in Byron's Don uan, was like Lady
Fitz Fulke, of solid flesh and BONE
There would not be SO many of these
goblins, if the bird-shot remedy were oft
