To PRESERVE Ice AND ALWAYS HAVE Ice WATER.
Prepare double green baize, OF blanket or fan
mel bag, in the shape of pudding bag. 1t may be


lined inside, to keep the fuz out of the water, with
lawyer of muslin, Put sufficient quantity Of ice
in pitcher of water, and cover it with this bag it
preserves the ice better than any other mode, and
if you use ice enough, you may always have cold
water. l have covered my ice water in this way
at bedtime and found ice in the pitcher in the morn
ing.


I got my idea or pattern from an Irish gentleman
many years ago, and named the article Paddy's
Night Cap. 1t is better than any patient ice pitcher
and can be made for a mere tri6e.


Remarks.-If a small quantity Of ice is put into
pitcher of water, it melts rapidly, but large
quantity reduces the temperature of the water
so that it acts as preserver of it with cold medi
um, and in this under Paddy's Night Cap" it is
better preserved than in an ice pitcher. Try it.

VARIOUS KINDS OF QuAcKs-The Yreka Union
believes that law should provide board of eX-
amners for examination of doctors and lawyers
The remark is most wise. Community should be
thus protected. In distress, by sickness or op-
preston, men do not deliberate long or institute
inquiry in regard to capacity; they judge much
by appearance and pretension; poor lawyers aud
ignorant doctors are generally apportioned tc
poor people who want relief cheaply. Such
practitioners dress well, and pretentiously repeat
the tcchnicalities OF their assumed profession
an unlearned person cannot discover their dcfcc
tiveness until the case is lost The law is for the
protection of the poor; the rich and powerful
protect themselves; it should try and condemn

"The day is fast fading, dearest draw the cur

came feebly from the pale lips of dying woman,
and her small, cold hand lay still the coverlet;
the blue eye was so clear and intelligent that
one might have iancied that pleasant thoughts
were passing. Her rich, brown hair fell in clus-
ters on the pillow, and was parted over pale
forehead damp already with death dew, "Oh,
darling let them lay me in the ground while the
sun is setting. All, the first night to be alone in
the drcary graveyard If only knew that you
would be there to watch by me through that one

falls on my coffin, and they say dust to DUST

its hollow sound on my breast. Oh, you will

and cold snow, where you will be near me, whore

The Wheeling lntellgencer, the leading pa
per of western Virginia, has an able article ad
visng the people OF its section, instead of ex-
pending their strength in useless indignation
against the North, to devote themselves to the
consideration of the evils of the system itself
and the means for their removal. 1t declares
that exposure to instructions becomes more
and more threatening as the intermxture of the
white and black races goes on at the South, and
says:-


SLOWLY but certainly, they are acquiring
more of the characteristics of the white races
and losing those of the African. Look at the
frightened complexion of the race in all our
southern cities and towns. In Charleston, South
Carolina, for instance, the mixed element i'm
measurably predominates over that of the black,
and is, we believe, equal to if not greater than
the white population. Look at many other of
the South Carolina communities. Look at
Richmond, Lynchburgh Petersburg, Norfolk
and other places in our state. We ought to
look these things all in the face now. They
have an important practicle bearing on our So
cial condition.


at is useless to rail at wicked and reckless
abolitionists, like Brown, who in their blind fa-
naticism think-if they think or care at all
that they are doing God service when they teach
and aid slaves to rise against their masters
Their will always be such men. They are to bC
expected when we think of the vast amount OF
opinion, religious, and non-regious, which ex-
lists throughout great country like ours on the
moral and POLITICAL aspects of a national ques-
ton like that of slavery Likewise is it all use
less and idle to expect that men having minds
to think-minds that must think-and tongue!
which are free to speak, will ever stop having
opinions or expressing them upon either the
justice or the expedency of slavery in the alb
stract. Our security lies in advancing, not il
retreating. We must look to the future of th,
two races. We must 90 back and read up thu
opinions of thu fathers Of the republic as to th
probable issue ,f slavery in this country. W.
must know that the best men of that era busiet
themselves, not only with conjectures as to wha
were to be its results, but also with ways ant
means by which they might be able to provid
against these very instructions. Mr. jefferson
we should remember, up TO his dying hour neve
ceased to express his apprehensons and to sug
gest his plans for exemption. The possibl
contingency of a great San Domingo rebellion
he declared was to him continually 'like fir
bell in the night" He ''trembed," he said ct
think of it, And it was because that he S
well knew the peculiar conditions which inves
ted the negro race both naturally and arti6cially
in this country, that he dwelt so earnestly o
his plan for Central American colonization G
the race. Something of this sort has got to b
done. For look at il: We have now nearl
: four millions of these serfs among us. The
are increasing in ratio wholly unknown to tn
, white race. Not only this, but, as we said, the
are imbibing the energies and taking on til
color of the superior race"

PUZZLED PIG.-One of our western farmers
being very much annoyed by his SOW breaking
into the corn field, search was instituted in vain
for the hole in the rail fence Failing to find one,
an attempt was next made to drive out the ami
NAL by the way she entered, but of course with
out success. The owner resolved to watch her
proceedings, and posted at night to a fence cor
ner, he saw her enter at one end of a hollow log,
outside OF the field, and emerge at the other end
within the enclosure. 81 have you now, old
lady, cried he Accordingly he proceeded, after
turning her out once more, to so place the log Gt
being crooked) that both ends opened outside the
field. The next day the animal entered her ac-
customed place, and shortly after emerged again.
Her astonshment, says our informant, at find
ing herself in the same position whence she
started, is too ludicrous to be described. She
looked this way and that, grunted her dissatis-
faction, and finally returned to the original star
ting place. and after deliberate survey of things
to satisfy herself that all was right, again en- :
tered the log. On emerging once more on the
wrong side she evinced even more surprise than
before, and turning about retraced the log in
IN opposite direction. Finding this effort alike
in vain, after looking long and attentively at
the position of things, with short angry grunt
Of disappointment, and perhaps fear, she turned
around and STARTED off at a brisk run, nor could
either coaxing or driving ever induce a visit to
that part of the field. She seemed to have a
superstition concerning the spot
