Said I 'My head feels a little acheish, what dd you think I had better do Why friend S.,' said the Doctor, says he, 'the best thing yoa can do is to go straight home and soak your feet and take a sweat; 'cause if you xlon'tf says he, 'like as not you may have fe ver. Says I, 'Doctor, I was just a think in' that a little sweat would do me good, and I guess I'll go Lome and try it right away.' Well, I did, I went home and took a bowlful ef tansey-tea, bitter as gall, and if I didn't sweat like a beaver 'taint no mat ter. The next morning my head was as clear as a bell, I was as good as ever I was. Well, a day or two afterwards, I met the Doctor, and after a little talking, says the Doctor, says he, Neighbor S., I've got a little bill again you !' 1 look at him dot, and says I, 'A HIP doctor?' 'Yes, says he, 'a bill for advise, you know at Simpkins store the other day.' What do you think he had gone and done He'd actually charged me two dollars for telling me to -go home and take a sweat,' which I was goinc: to do myself, without his telling. 'Well, Doctor,' says I' (for I didn't want to appear small, you know 'it's all right; I will bear it in mind, Well, after, the Doc tor was passing by my door in his chaise, and somehow or other one of the wheels got a little loose: so says I, 'Doctor, if you dont drive that linch pin an inch or so, that wheel will come off. Says he 'Thank vou and he took a stun and driv in the .pn. Well, I went into the house and just jnade a charge of it; and when be came along the next time I presented him the bilL Hello !' saj's the Doctor, says he 'What on airth is thi3 for? 'Why it' for ad vise !' says he what advise 1 1 hain't had none o' your advise.' 'Why, for driving in your wheel-pin, and I've only charged two dollars and twenty-five cents, and ef 1 hadn't given the advise it might have cost you twenty times as much. 'Well, says the Doctor, 'the difference between your bill ami mine is just twenty-fire cents.' That is all you owe me,1 says I. , 'Well I'll bear it in mind,' says he. And I ex pect he will he's as tight as a candle mould, the Doctor is. and I guess he is able to bear it in mind. t LARGE STRAWBERRY PATCH. ,' Mr. Rezin Hammond, of Anne Arundel county, Maryland, had one hundred acres of land set in strawberries. - On the 11th instant, says the Baltimore Republican, some thirty acres appeared as if his troops of pickers had not yet invaded them. The berries hung on the vines as thick as clus ters of grapes, and filled the air with their delightful perfume. The picking season generally continues about three weeks, but Mr. Hammond has arranged his crops to be able to pick a week longer than most of his neighbors. He has employed as many as two hundred pickers this season, consis ting of men, women, boys, and crirls. The jtfice paid for picking is one and a half cents per quart, at which rate good pick ers can make three dollars a day. His largest day's picking reached about fourteen thousand quarts, (over four hun dred bushels !) and the average will not be less tban five thousand. In all be expects his picking to reach near one hundred and fifty thousand quarts, which is but a frac tion short of five thousand bushels I ORNAMENTED JUDGES. Q. was elected side Judge' in one of the county courts in Vermont. He was was not very well versed in 'legal lore,' so He called on a mend or bis who had serv ed as side judge, to make some inquiries concerning the duties of the office. To his interrogatories, his answer was: 'Sir, .have filled this important and honorable office several years, but have never been consulted with regard to but one question. me. iaoi uay ui tuc ouillli; ICILU, IOi-. the judge after listening to three or four windy pleas of an hour's length each, tur- ed to me and whispered, 'C , ain't this seat made out of rather hard wood 1 and I told him I rather thought it was.' CLEANING GUN BARRELS. ! We have somewhere heard of spirits of turpentine as being good to use on the swab instead of water in cleaning out gun barrels. We think, however, that a mix ture of one part of spirits of turpentine and two or three parts of strong alcohol (spirits of wine,) well shaken together, would be preferable. Cleaned in this way, they will iry and be ready for use immediately. THAT PLAGUE SPOT. Dr. A. K. Gardner, of New York, writes as follows to the editor of the Newark Daily Advertiser respecting the mysterious disease said to have appear ed in that city : I "I hasten to deny the truth of the re port in toto. . At the meeting of the A (cademy of Medicine, this evening, I in quired of many present, and nothing of ithe kind exists or has been seen in this city. . I "The report arose from theexistence of some hall a dozen cases of an erup tive disease caMeA' Pustule Maligne. A few cases existed last year. It is .characterized by the appearance Of a . pimple, rapidly increasing in size, to that of an ordinary boil, with symptoms re sembling those of a carbuncle, great fe ver and very severe constitutional dis turbance. One or twoof the cases have recovered, but they have generally been fatal in a few days. The disease, is not a new disease, though unfrequent here ; and it is well-known not to be of a con tagious character FATAL ACCIDENT AT NIAGARA. A man went over the American Falls at Niagara on Saturday morning. He was in the act of landing from a skiff just above the rapids, when he was car ried away by the current and his boat capsized. He is supposed to have been on his way from Canada with vegetables. I CONTENTMENT, j "Godliness with contentment is , great gam." Godliness is the only thing that, in any considerable degree, cAn give con tentment. The experience of the world has fully demonstrated that wealth, honor, and power are inadequate to this task. In deed, I suppose that all contentment, that does not spring from virtue and from reli ance uponGod is mere listlessness and brutal repose. Who, but the christian can say '1 have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content?" i This world is restless The wicked are like the trouble sea, when it can not rest, whose waters cast up mire an dirt There is no peace sayelh my God, to the wicked. Imagine how exceedingly restless the sea is, and how aptly it represents this troubled world.; Every bosom is a1 little world in itie1f.To-the imttvidual, fti4 allthrworW Desires and passions, like raging winds up on the Ocean, harass and agitate, . and trouble the individual continually. The mire and dirt of evil propensities exhibits -themselves in the form of wicked thoughts, words, and actions. He alone, whom the winds and the sea obey, can give peace to the troubled souL Wars into peace He turns. His dominion is over all. How comforting it is to those who trust in him, to know that Uod is righteous in his ways', and that he sees and knows all things well and that - "To his folks hell speak peace." The man who does not rejoice in the doctrine of a special Providence, surely does not love to live near to God. Such persons, I imagine, look to other sources for happiness. 1 1 hey sow to the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.V ; 'Ye righteous, in tne Lord rejoice.' : 'Fear not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.' 'Fear not, nei ther be dismayed, for I am with thee.' Then why should we fear? Be not troubled about the ram, the scarcity of mo: icy, the thousand evils real or imaginary that perplex the minds of restless men. Do right. Love God and keep his commandments and all will be well. Perfect love casteth out fear,' and introduces contentment.. ; "Be content with such things as ye have; for he hath said, I will never leave thee or for sake the,' But, be afraid, ye that forget God. Be afflicated, and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.' ' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.' Philethus. A Quaker gentleman from Pennsylvania recently visited a relation in one of our low er counties who had a Hundred slaves on his farm, all of whom had been raised in ike family. The Pennsylvanian took sev eral occasions to lecture" the Marylander on the sinfulness of holding: slaves, and unred him to manumit them. The Mary lander .finally proposed to his relative to give him every slave he had, provided he would ffive him security that ne would take as rrood care of them as he did. Of the hundred slaves, he remarked, there are thirty too old to take care of themselves, and of course he could not free them ; then there are thirty others too young to be giv en thrir freedom; the other forty he kept to earn sufficient to support those that are too young and too old to work. The Penn- fcylvanian declined this liberal oner, and his relative closed the conversation by re marking : " Now, my friend, if you and your Northern sympathisers with our slaves would only follow Henry Clay's advice to mind your own business and leave us alone, with our slaves, you would do them more service than their masters ; for the fact is, my hogs eat up my corn and my slaves eat up all my hogs." The subject was after that dropped by mutual consent Baltimore Amencan. VERY UN GALLANT. An old fashioned naval captain stood up to go through a country dance with a very find lady, who was shocked to observe that his huge and warm hands were not cover ed according to etiquette. ' Captain,' said his fair partner, 'you are perhaps not a- ware that you have not got your gloves on.' 'Oh, never mind, Ma am ''"answered the commander, ' never mind ; I can wash my hands when we've done !' An Old Sailor's Trick Revived. The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman says that at a pic-nic, cocoa-nuts were emptied of their milk and filled with liquor, which were used by the gentlemen ' of the party. This is called a new device, but sailors have used the cocoanut for liquor smuggling for at least half a century. In Marryatt s nov el of Peter Simple the whole process is graphically described. THE BLOOM OF AGE. A good woman never grows old. Years may pass over her head, but if benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful as when the spring of life opened to her view. When we look upon a good woman, we never think of her age, she looks as charming as when the rose of youth first bloomed on her cheek. " That rose has not faded j'et ; it will never fade. In her neighborhood she is the friend and benefactor. Who does not respeet and love the woman who has passed her days in acts of kindness and mercy? We repeat, such a woman cannot grow old. She wil always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active in humble deeds of mercy and be nevolence. If the young lady desires to retain the bloom and beauty of youth, let her not yield to the way .'of fashion and folly f let her love truth and virtue, and to the close of hie she will retain tnose leel ings which now make life appear a garden of sweets ever fresh and ever new.
