The Wear and Z

The Wear and Tear of Life.-The cares.
anXletieS and misfOrtunes of life have as much
to do with shortening it as disease. They are in
fact the source of many physical disabilities.
Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, affections of the
liver, disturbances of the bowels, headache, hy-
pOchondria and mOnOmania are among these dis
tressing fruits. 1t is, therefore, of great impOr-
lance that persons whose minds are oppressed
with heavy cuisines responsibilities, or harrassed
with family troubles, or excited by speculation,
or perplexed by a multiplicity of enterprises, or
in any way OvertaXed or OverwOrked, should
keep up their stamina by the daily use of Il
wholesome tonic Thousands of persons thus
circumstanced are enabled to bear up against
the difficulties in which they are involved, and
to retain theirstrength, health and mental clear
ness, by the regular use of HOstetter's Stomach
Bltters. Diseases which are prone to attack the
body when debiIitated and broken down by
over-mnch brain work or exhausting physical
labor, are kept at bay by the resistant power
with which this Incompatible tonic end0ws the
nervous system and the vital organs. At this
season, when the heat is evapOrating the ele-
mentS of strength from every pore, an invigor-
ant is absolutely essential to the safety and com
fort OF the public, and is required even by the
more robust if they desire to keep their athletic
capabilities in statU quo. Hence Il course of
HOstetter's Bittors is particularly useful at this
period OF the year as a defence against the i'll
visible disease afloat in a sultry atmosphere. It
is the most potent of all preventive medicines
and for all complaints which affect the stomach,
the liver and the bowels, and interfere with the
perfect digestion and assimilation of food, it is
the STANDARD remedy.

1MMIGRATION.-It seems to us impOs-
sible for our Attakapas people to offer
sufficient inducements for emigrants to
settle among us under the present sys-
tenn of planting. We contend that
white labor will not perform the ardu-
GUS duties which are now encountered
upon the colOred people. They will not
submit to the same treatment, and can-
not subsist upon the same diet and per-
form equal labor. If we really want
the. white emigrant in our midst, we
must divide the numberless acres of
uncultivated land into tracts of from
eighty to one hundred and sixty and
one hundred and forty arpents, and
offer them to people DESTROYS of pur-
chasing at a reasonable price per acre.
In this manner one family will produce
more sugar from ten acres Of land than
the present planter can make from if
teen and simply because the soil will
be cultivated to its full capacity. For
these small plantations one sugar mill.
worked by horsepower, will be ample
to grind the crops for six or eight far
mers. The people will be friendly,
prosperous, and willing to lend a help
ing hand to his neighbor in the time
OF need. The sooner we discover that

Some smal-sized country papers in
this State, that have q patent outside

the editorial labor, composition and
press work Of one-haH the paper, and
that have, in some cases, both the State

take up nearly all the space of the other

all these means of filling up the space

have that one little side that is printed

whose family the neighbors had to sup

ATTAKAPAs AND ST. LANDRY.-The
Agent of the Louisiana immigration
Company, communicates the following
to the New Orleans Times:
On the p~rairies Of Attakapas and st.
Landry, on good lands, there is room
for twenty thousand families, fifty
acres to a family, and in portions of
this country, these lands can be u
chased at from three to FIVE dollars per
acre. . .....
An ample yearly supply of wood and
an ever lasting supply from ten acres
planted in seeds from the China tree,
in three years from the planting, can
be easily secured. = .r
A herding law might do ava with
the necessity for any except pasture
fences to keep stock in instead of keep
ing them out.
Natures system of ravines, coul6es
and bayOus, provided for the drainage
of these fiat lands, only needs a little
assistance from man to make them
complete, and to thoroughly drain this
whole sheet of country from the Bayou
Yeche to the Mermentau and the Nez
Pique.
Dotted with white cottages, orla-
mented with shade trees, vines, orchards
and flowers; with turnpike roads and
good bridges; with fields of cotton and
sugar-care, rice, corn and potatoes
meadows of waving grass and herds of
fine mich cows and fat cattle; with
fine sea b.eezes fresh from the Gulf of
Mexico; with peace and plenty, this
would be one of the most delightful

GOMBO.-PrOfessor Alexander Dimi-
Table, with the following excellent re-
cipe for a Gombo-fl6.-"Take a quart
or a pint Of oysters, according to the
quantity of stock required. Give them
a parbOil i'll their OWn liquor, to which,
if undiluted, add a cup full of water
while over the fire. This being done,
take them off the fire, and set them
aside. Slice and cut up a good-siZed
onion; having also ready a teaspOonful
of finely chopped parsley or celery.
Cut up, in not large pieces, a chicken,
or a half Of one, according to the stock
desired, and four or five ounces of ham,
in small pieces. You have now all the
materials for your stock, which is
made as follows: First fry your onions
in hot lard. When sOftened and
turning brown, skim them out of the
lard, taking care to leave no particles,
which, charring, would impart a bitter
flavor to the stock. Then throw into
the hot lard your chicken and ham,
which, when done brown, sprinkle
gradually with q cup full of hot water,
throwing in the chopped parsley or
celery. Cover the vessel, and give a
simmer of five minutes on a slow fire.
At this point may be added, if accept
able, a half pod cayenne pepper, or a
sufficient quantity of the ground, to
give pungency. A dash of mushroom
catsup, and one of Worcester sauce
may be added. No cold water is to be
psed in making stock. Continue every
five minutes to add a cupful of hot
water, keeping up the simmering, never
boiling though, until you have your
due quantity of stock for the number
Of plates which you may have to serve.
The last addition of liquid, to complete,
is to be made from the liquor Of the
oysters, which with them, is thrown in
to simmer a few minutes more. Thus
far, We have a rich composite stew,
which is now to be converted into gom-
DO, by the following process. Have
ready about a heaped tablespoonful of
sassafrasleaves( dried,) finely powdered.
Draw your stock from the fire, and, by
sprinkling the sassafras oyer the LIQUID,
rapidly beating it at the same time with
a spoon, thoroughly incorporate the
powder with the stock, and, 10 Pecan!
the gOmbo is done. NOtG Bene.-NeYer
attempt to add the sassafras while the
vessel is on the fire. The result of so
doing would be to precipitate the. pow
der to the. bottom of the vessel, and,
literally, send your gombo to not! At
the table, the gombO may be served as a
thlckened soup, to be eaten with boiled
rice, Or bread, as may be preferred.
The rice, however, is an element in the
ritual of gOmbO. Sassafras leaves, pre-
pared and put up i'll jars, can be OBJ
tanned at botanical stores, and of cuisi-
n9era. "wtLe Mechac6b6 July 10th.
