We venture to question the necessity OF ,he

Why should people have colds at ALI Unlike
many other diseases, it is well understood now
they arise; all the conditions and causes 'Ia'
produce colds continually pointed OUT ps
physicians; they are easily measured anu Ioe"S
nized, and can easily be guarded against Al
that is required is due forethonght ana eauIioh

protection of the lungs and other dellcate OF sus
crptible parts of the body; all OF when are es-
sentially contrOlable things with every one P,s
sessing the ordinary faculties, and endowed Win
the average share of good sense. If it were
penal offcnse to take cold; if cough arising
from thonghtess exposure were punished by a
weeks imprisonment; if getting sick because OF
mere incapacity to measure conditions and ar

gal penalty and loss of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
cold would soon he among the last arts" There
is no use of having Judgment if We do not exer-

to take advantage of former experience, too
torpid to understand the nature Necessity
of preventive measures, and too dull to detect
the palpable circumstances out of which the
call has come. A child learns not To fall
down stairs after two three experiences of the
kind; not TO bnrn his fingers in the CRATE after
once testing the quality of hot Goals and hot
iron; but adults go on getting colds from causes
that repeat former plumbers with perversity that

MIR. TwombIcy,. Mistake.

Mr.. Twombley had drank but six glasses of
brandy and water when, being u man of discre-
tiou he returned home at the seasOnable hour of
l. A. NJ. and went sObeTly to bed. Mrs. Thomas
Twombiey was too well accustomed to the COM
ings and goings of the said Thomas, to he much
disturbed by the trifing noise he made on retir-
ing: but when she discovered that he had his
boots on she requested him to remove them, or
keep his feet ont of bed.
INV dear" said Mr.. Twombley, in apologize
tones, 'skuse mel How / came 10 forget my
boots can't conceive, for I'm just as sober as /
ever was in my life
Mr.. Twombly sat on the side of the bed, and
made an effort to pull off his right boot The
attempt was successful, though it brought him
to the floor. On regaining his feet, Mr. Twom
bley thought he saw the door open. As he was
sure he shut the door, on coming in, he was as
tOnished; and dark as it was in the room, he
couldn't be mistaken, lie felt certain. Mr.. TwOnl-
bley staggered towards the door to close it, when
to his still greater surprise, he saw figure APP

figure stopped. Twombley advanced again. the
figure did the same; TwOmbey raised his right
hand-the figure raised its left. who's there r.
roared Twombley, beginning to he frightened
The figure made 10 reply-TwOmbley raised his
boot in menaeing attitude-the figure defied
him by shaking similar object.

the mysterious object, whun-crash! went the
big looking-glass, which TwOmbley had mistaken
for the door.

There is a curious prescription in England for
the cure of drunkenness, by which thousands are
said to have been assisted in recovering them
selves. The recipe came into notoriety through
the efforts of John Vine Hall, father of Rev. New
man Hall and Capt. Vine Hall commander of the
Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into
such habtual drunkenness that his utmost efforts
to regain himself proved unavalling. At length
he sought the advice of an eminent physician,
who gave him prescription which he followed
faithfully for several months, and at the end of
that time he had lost all desire for liquors, al
though he had for many years been led captive
by u most debasing habit. The recipe, which he
afterward published, and by which so many have
been assisted to reform, is rs follows: 'Sulphate
of iron, 5 grains; magnesia, 10 grains; peppermint
water, III grains; spirit of nutmeg, drachm; to
he taken twice a day" This preparation acts rs
a tonic and stimulant, and SO partly supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and prevents that
absolute physical and moral prostratiOn that fol-
lows sudden breaking off from the use of slim
ulating drinks.

Depth of Soil for Grapes.

1t will do well enough to work the soil for a
foot or eighteen inches for grapes, where but a
few crops are wanted; but for continuance of
many years and many oroPs, doOP working - 40
necessary as the slight tillage for the few crops.
The tendency of the roots is downward, and new
er back to the surface. If therefore the under
soil is hard and raw, the vine must suffer in con-
sequence It is hence that we see the many fail
ures of old vines. These failures we seldom meet
with on aIluvial or other pervious soils; but on
high CLAW snb-sois they are common. This clay
is cold-just the reverse ofw grape soil should
be. There should be sufficient clay mixed with
other matter, so that the fruit may get the ben
eft of the clay, and no more. The man, there
fore, who plants vine for perpetuity, must dig
and trench; he must be according to the time he
proposes for his tree for according to that time
will be the extent of the roots is, must be the
culture of the soil.

How TO CLEAN SOAP SUDs.-It is well known
that little alum dissolved is very effective in
cleaning muddy water; but short time since
some alum applied in manner which from
its novelty and its valuable results is worthy of
notice. In place where water is scarce at pres
ent, little alum dissolved i'll hot water, and
thrown into tub of thick soap-suds. In a mo-
ment the soap curdled, and accompanied by the
muddy PARTICLES, sank to the bottom leaving the
water perfectly clear, pure and devoid of smell.
This water fOnnd very useful for washing
clothing again when poured off the sediment. A
similar result was attained in quick manner,
by filling boiler with soap suds, placing it on "A
fire and throwing bit of alum into it. When
the suds boiled the scnm went over aud left the
water clear, soft, and as useful for washing
clothes as it had originally been.

Hot BEDs.-Those who contemplate putting
up such fixngs this season should have put the
manure, well shaken apart, on a conical hill,
to let it heat to some extent before putting 1t
down for the frame By this it will give out a
much more even heat when wanted. Forest
leaves mixed with the horse manure are an ex-
.cellent addition. Those who intend starting
things in this way will bear in mind that the
higher the pile of manure, the longer will the
heat last The old plan of digging pit to pnt
the manure in is not much in use now, expert
,ence teaching us that the top of the ground Is
the best place. The ground shOuld be staked off
two feet longer and two feet broader than the
sash, or rather frame, will require; the manure
carefully shaken evenly over the space and pat
ted down with the fork. When finished (and it
ought to be three feet high) lay cross pieces ev-
cry three or four feet on the manure for the
frame to rest upon. Tack the frame fast with
Lails, then put in six inches of good mold, and
as soon as the heat rises (Which can be known by
sticking the finger into the ground) sow your
seed. The manure extending one foot beyond
the frame will prevent cold ever getting in 1t.

SOAP FOR BoRERs.-Oc hear COM
plants Of the apple tree borer, in old orchards
not cultivated. Eli Wylie, Esq, (close neighbor
of mine) had been more or less troubled by them,
and for want of a known better remedy one year

with soft soap. Soon after which it rained, and
Immediately after the rain on inspecting his trees
he found hundreds of the borers dead, lying at
the roots of the trees This Spring Mr.. W. thor
.oughly soaped some young apple trees, to pro-
mote their general good health, not dreaming
that they too were wormy-but upon after in
spection, found dead borers as in the case of the
old trees-but not in such large quantities. Not
reccollecting to have seen soft soap reccommen-

chard, send you this for publication, if thought
worthy of place in your valuable paper.-M. C.
