Carbolic Acid for Preserving Bodies.

It is stated that Prof CUTLERY has demon
:trated anew the powerful antisepite properties
of carbolic acid in some additional experiments
lately made. He enveloped fresh corpse in
a cloth saturated with solution containing
two per cent Of the acid, and after four or five
days pouring more of the solution over the
body. By this treatment putrefaction WAS
entirely prevented, the body after six months
exhibiting no signs of decomposition, and being
hut slightly altered in appearance. At the
Morgue, in Paris, solution containing one
twentieth of one per cent of the acid sPrnkIed
over the bodies arrested putrefaction even dur
ing the heat Of the summer.

An Old Complaint.
The story or a Young Man Who Is
subject 10 SpasmS OF FondneSi.

The Lebanon Standard relates the following
incident as happening near Lnreiio. Il Illus
trates complaint that is nnly too common
among a certain class uf hcaux whose silly
ambition reaches no higher than fashionable
necktie aud the foolish boast that they are
like the butterflies who gather sweets from
every garden, but, unlike tie bees, they carry
no honey home with them. These insipid
youths have about rs much earnestness in any
department of life as in love-maklng, and Sc
cure as permanent success. The girls should
lean them up Sgainst a shady tree some bright
Summer day aud fan them to death with
rOse-leaf. The Standard says;
"a young man living not quite thousand
miles from LprettO, not long ago laid siege 10
the heart Of young lady iu Louisville, who
10 due time surrendered the fortress into his
keeping. A day was appointed for the nup-
,ials, friends were invited, good things to eat
aud drink were provided, aud all the concom-
itants for A well-regulated wedding we're pre-
pared. The day came, the guests came, but
the Bridegroom" tue young man from the
country "--came not. lie made default, and
the question on every tongue was, Why is
this thus3
The mother of the bride that was 10 be,
came up to LOretto aud went out TO interview
the son-in-aw that should have been. She
told him Of her daughter-how, like Amy in
" Locksley Hail." her cheek was pale aud
thinner than should be for Que so young" and
how she was piniog away from disappoint-
n.ent aud grief The young man observed,
deprecatingly, that the young lady had never
been very fat but the would e-mother-in-law
parried his thrusts and represented to him the
impropriety Of his conduct in such moving
terms that be felt bound to apologize.
o. lie accordingly told the old lady that he
was sorry to have grieved and disappointed
her daughter and herself; but that he was the
subject Of uncomfortable fits Of loving, and
when one Of these came upon him he could
not keep from courting somebody. This, ho
said, was disease, and that he was in no sense
responsible for anything lie did while this
temporary madness was upon him. II he had,
under the power of this malady, made love TO
her daughter, he was sorry for it, but he could
not help it. II she doubted bis word, be said
he could bring hundreds Of physicians TO provo
that such disease existed, and hundreds Of
his acquaintances to prove that he had IL.
"rhe lady from Louisville went home a
sadder, If not wiser woman. Before she left
she expressed great sympathy for the young
man, observing that cit was such pity be
| could not be cured"

Deferred Articles.
Farming in the West.

Our farmers complain, and perhaps with
good reason, OF hard times, and inadequate
compensation for the fruits Of their toll, al
though they do not seem to be as badly off a.
many Of tn Sc in the West, if we may judge
from the following, taken from the Pitsburg
Land AdriSor:
Illinois aud Iowa papers are wailing over
the poverty of the farmers there, who, though
in the midst uf agricultural superabuudance.
are hardly able to keep their heads above wa
ter. owing to high railroad freghts, high in
tere>t and taxes, AID tariffs that oppress them
lor the benefit uf the manufacturer. One oi
the Iowa papers says: 1t costs the farmer
two loads ol potatoes to- buya pair Of winter
hnatS. If he stays IN town over night, he will
eat load of oats His wife wears five acres
of wheat, and each of the children about ten
acres If crrn."
Now. if our soils is not quite as fresh and
productive as the new lands Of the West, Vir-
gnia lauls, when measured by the net value
# their products, are worth greatly more
Their proximity to market, 10 say nothing Of
the vast superiority Of this climate, make the
balance largely in favor of Virginia farming.
A barrel of Potatoes will bring FIVE dollars
IN Lyuchhurg now, aud that sum will secure a
pair Of Yankee boots while sbeaf oats readily
command one dollar aud fifty cents per hun
dred pounds, and corn, 10 to IS cents per
LusLel. Who will say therefore that farming
does not pay better in Virginia than in the
West, where they burn corn as fuel

The danger of panic in crowded assem-
bJy has again brcu exenplitri in the Church
# Saint Bernard Italy The bnilding took
fre duriug Vespers, aud the excited pe"ple
made rush Tor the door, which was soon
blocked by - mass Of screaming, praying, faint
ing women. Muslin and gauze among the deco
ra,ions burned like tinder, and floating of in
to the body Of the church, fired the dresses Of
the women and children. Five persons only
were burned to death which, considering the
panic and the dagger, was a very small num-
Der. 1t is impossible to avoid the occurrence
of such events. Even the best means Of exit
will fail in the face Of an unfeasoniUg panic

POETICAL.

"THEY SAY" there is a good deal OF scandal
always going on in small villages that every
body ihe or she) dosn't mind his or her busi-
ness. This may not be SO for " They SAY "
himself is great scaudal-monget, and has
done deal Of mischief in his time, by insinuat-
ing what be dared net distinctly charge or as
sert. And if there be any impertinent persons,
male or female, married or single, in the thou
sand villages whittier our Magazine fuds its
way, who do not find it convenient to mind
their own business" we commend to their
careful attention the following lines:
"Is il anybody's business,
III gentleman should choose,
To wait upon lady,
II the lady don't refuse :
"Or, 10 speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know,
sit any body's business
If lady has beau?
ais it any body's business
When gentleman doth call,
Or when he leaves the lady,
0rif he leaves at all
Or is il necessary
That the curtains should be drawn,
To save from further trouble
The outside lookers-on2
ais it any bodY's business.
But the lady's, it her beau
Rideth out With other ladies,
And dOsn' let her know!
Isitany body's business,
But the gentleman's if she
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance to be
"If a persons on the sidewalk,
Whether great or whether small,
itany body's business
Where that person means to call?
Or if you see person
While he's calling any where,
Is it any OF your business
What his business may be there
The substance Of our query,
Simply stated, would be thsi
l. it's any body's business2
What another's business is
Whether It's, or whether 'tisn t.
We should really like TO know,
For we're certain, ii it isn't,
There are some who make il so"

on what other men owe him until he starves TO
death. A subscriber is a person who takes q
paper aud Gays be is very much pleased with
It, and he tell. everybody else that they ought

about seven years, the editor writes to him and
asks him to let him have two dollars and fifty
cents, and then the subscriber writes back to
the editor and tells him not to send his old pa
per auy more, for there is nothing in it, and
then the poor editor goes and starves some
