And find it void of pleasure ;
No cherished object to peruse,
The sadness of my treasure.
Though joy may bound at some fond
thought,
And carol in its llight;
Bearing music from Angels taught,
Pure anthems of delight.
My imraagination has searched
The low dazzling dew drop;
And with the whistle gaily perched,
On the proud mountain top.
Tottered at the dread abyss brink
Rocked on the dark blue sea?
Deep mid the stormy billows sink,
While there to think of thee.
Loved one tis then, and only then,
My heart throbs with gladness,
But when I grasp the inky pen,
All, all is sadness.
Its wild mandates I oft obey,
But never can revere,
The measured herald of display,
Till thou, thou art near.

Anciext Hospitality.?It was once tho
? universal custom to place ale or some strong
liquor in the chamber of an honored guest
to assuage his thirst, should ho feel any on
awakening in the night, which, considering
that the hospitality of that period often reached
excess, was by no moans unlikely. It is
a current story in Teviotdale, that in the
nouse 01 an ancient r amuy 01 uisuncnon,
much abdicted to t'no Presbyterian cause, a
Bible was always put into the sleeping apartment
of the guests, along with a bottle
of strong ale. On one occasion, there was
a meeting of clergymen in the vicinity of the
castle, all of whom were invited to dinner
by the worthy baronet, und several ubode
there all night. According to the fashion
of the times. Seven of the guests were allotted
to a large barrack room, which was
used on such occasions of extended hospitality.
-The butler took care that the divines
were presented, according to custom, each
with a bible and a bottle of ale. But after a
little consultation among themselves, they
are said to have recalled the domestic, just
as he was lenving the apartment. "My friend"
said one of the venerable guests, "you must
know that when w? meet together, tho
youngest minister reads aloud a portion of
Scripture to the rest; only one bible, therefore,
is necessary; take away the other six,
and in thoir place bring six more bottles of
ale! "?Sir Walter Scott.

TYPHOID FEVER.
The premonitory indications of Typhc
Fever are ottcntimes almost passed unnot;
ed: especially with the black populatic
who seem to bo by far the greater suflerei
on account of reasons (satisfactory!)') e
pressed by a medical friend, W. F. Holme
in the Charleston Medical Journal, viz: "M
notony of diet, uncleanliness, exposure 1
sudden alterations of heat and cold, crowi
ing together in close illy ventillatcd apar
ments, and want of hcalthv and sufliciei
sleep." Other causes might be incntionc
which increase the liability of the slnv
namely : extensive manure-making in bari
yards or horse-lots directly among ncgi
houses, is a prolific source of Fever of a T;
phoid type among them. But to the symj
toms:
On closely enquiring into the condition <
the patient prior to confinement, you will I
apt to learn that slight indisposition existe
in a majority of cases, fjoni one to fonr c
five days or more, marked by partial devele]
incuts of some of the more prominent syinj
toms of the malady, viz : headache, want <
apetite, loss of strength, and diarrhcea.Thougli
the very reverse obtains occasions
ly, making it a nice point to evacuate tl
bowels suflicicntly, without (at the satr
time) inducing too much bowel action.
The disease being in the progressive, tl;
patient is confined, with more headache, sti
por, great listlcssncss, and generally a di
position to slumber away the time, considi
ruble prostration and much loss of strengt
which it now presents, enubics us much i
diagnosing in this fever.
Tongue more or less furred, general!
moist in the outset, having a glutinous tout
?tip pointed, red, and palpitated. Furrin
comes oil* in a few days, leaving the surfai
not unlike raw beef, though occasional!
smoothc and glossy, losing its moisture !
the fever advances.
l'ulse in the onset, of moderate though i
regular acceleration, frequently numberin
not more than eighty-five beats one minut
and on simply turning in bed, half as man
more. The disease continuing, the pub
will reduce in volume, and become moi
hurried; notwithstanding I have seen tl
pulse even iu tne advanced stages of the f
ver, having much volume (but as compress
able as possible for a pulse to be,) remark
hly slow, numbering less than fifty beats 1
the minute.
A sluggish condition of bowels may h
present and continue throughout the fevei
it is more probable that the patient will *
annoyed and much exhausted with frequei
liquid evacuations, bringiug with them, osp
cially in the onset, much mucous. The a
domcn becomes distended, tympanitic, ai
generally painful to the touch. A gurglii
noise in the bowels, from pressure, hlecou;
hemorrhages various, but principally frc
the bowels, an alarming feature, requini
prompt attention, with which it rarely prov
fatal. Skin generally dry, heat about t
wrists and ancles reduced, often amount!
to a coolness, while the heat over the nbc
domen is much increased. This acrid,
ting heat, over the bowels, I regard as st
kingly characteristic of the Typhoid Fev
i iir.Ai.nr.M.? i no practice 01 I'liysic \v
not allow of any invariable precept. Idi<
yncrasiea, peculiarities of constitutioi
would proscribe such prescription. Notwil
standing, I cannot at present bring to hi
on my mind one single case of Typhoid I
ver, in the incipient, or even somewhat t
vanced, in which I could not fully reconc
the administration of an emetic. We thi
a good deal may bo gained by choice of
luetics. I decidedly prefer ippecacuanho,
lobelia, to tarter emetic. A serious obje
tion to the last named article is, that wh
vometing, especially if you desire to contl
[ uo it for some time, is apt to induce in tl
fever, an irritation of the mucous surface
the intestinal tube, thereby bringing on gi
er.d relaxation and watery evacuations,favi
ing prematurely the ultimate results of 1
phoid Fever, prostration and ulceration.
Full ?nd frequent vomiting, for such
desire, may bo produced* by the ippec
uanhn or lobelia, or a combination of t
two by equal quantities, which perhaps
preferable, without more than one or t<
comfortable, consistent, and thorough evi
uations of the bowels.
To evacuate the stomach, thereby rem<
ing gastric impurities, is by no means t
only advantage gained from emetics. Vo
iting in Typhoid Fever, where there is a c<
gosted and sluggish state of the portal cin
lation, is highly beneficial. It is not prol
blc that it is by the shock of the emetl
imparting new excitement to the nerve
system and their capacity to remove visce
congestions, that we in part are enabled
arrest in many cases, the progress of the i
called " self-limiting" diseaso.
Cathartics.?For this class of remedi
beyond the effect of the emetic or emcti
j us the caso may be, we will find small roq
[ sition. If such action should not folio
' we would prefer soliciting one or two ovi
uations by enema. It does occasions
happen with very sluggish bowels, that n
theV the e.inotic nor enema is sufficient. Th
the oleaginous mixture?say castor oil a
spirits of turpentine combined, is decidec
preferred to any other cathartic.
For mercurials in Typhoid Fever, I ha
not discovered any necessity. It is true tl
we have seen furred tongues, but thai
not an infuliblo indication of billiary deranj
ment. Wo have seen the skin and e
jaundiced, and if we had no other reme<
to which that condition is available, 1
I IJ J -IJ J? _ - e - -
wuuui ueciaoaiy preior our patient to abi
the consequence, than the deteriorating efl'i
of a mercurial, to correct it The deterioi
tion to which we allude, ia Ihe therapeu
action of mercurials (concerning which t
believe the Medical world agrees,) of red
clog the plastioy of the blood, which eft
%
is identical with one of the morbid conditions
of Typhoid Fover.
There is no reason more conclusive, then,
than this, that by mercurials you prematurely
induce the very condition that you should
oppose by or with other remedial agents.
""Tt Mercurials in Typhoid Fever are remedies
of no inconsiderablo depressing powers.?
Other objections might be urged, but the
iid limits of an articte of this kind precludes
ic- space.
Of the utility of Quinine in this Adonamic
rSj Fever, I do not entertain a doubt. Expcrix_
cnce will invariably tench a full confidence
s in the remedy. The chain of morbid asso0_
ciations, being broken by full and frequent
to vomiting, the system is left in a good degree
qualified for the reception of Quinine, which
nrticlo we use both for its sedative and cqunlizing
influences. And here I must avow,
.j that I (with the remedies mentioned,) unuiisc
takably have, while the disease is as yet
j. chiefly developed on the nervous system,
0 controlled cases in a few days, and in other
y._ instances preceptably modified the tnalig
nancy, of the attack. In this, as in some
other contiuued fevers, there is almost invariably
a remission, in the latter part of
)e the night and morning, which justifies tho
tolerable free use of Quinine; we prescribe
)r it in maximum doses from two to ten o'clock
A. M. I believe largo advantages may be
v obtained from the use of Quinine through
that period of tho twenty four hours, over
_ any other part of the uay or night. It is
j. true that sensorial disturbance may interK>
vene, which would positively contra indicate
its use, but I would like to remark here that
I have seen intense sympathetic headache
entirely relieved by both Quinine and Brandy.
And I would also add that 1 have had
much reason to be pleased with the alternativc
property of the latter remedy through,
out the second and succeeding stages of tho
disease.
The next article to be spoken of, is the
I Nitrate of Silver. One not of common use,
j but of incalculable powers. The phisiological
action of the remedy is to diminish local
ifr . _ . - - -
intlamation. It is decidedly antiphlogistic,
e of which we have abundant evidence in Er^
ysipelas, in its effects in opthalmiu, and inls
(lamation of other mucous membranes. In
dysentery, it, in combination, is the most reliable
of remedies. I wonlc advise it early,
^ yes, nnticipace if possible the tollicular ulcer
' a lesion characteristic of Typhoid Fever,
' with this most valuabte of local remedies.?
1 To show the necesity of employing this remri
edy early, I would briefly revert to a post
K" mortem examination made less than a week
L" ago, (at the request of a medical friend) in a
l" case dying of the Typhoid Fever 011 the 5th
n~ day, showing irregularly diffused cxanthemeta,
with numerous tollicular ulcerations, of
both the ilium and colon. Tee Nitrate of
10 Silver bears less reputation, perpaps, in this
' Tollieuiar Enteaite, than it merits, bccausi it
is generally prescribed in minimum doses.
111 The one-fifth to the one-tenth is generally
e- m? - < ' - ? '
I iinwmicu, very small noses xo l?e ctticicnt.
b- It occurs to me that the one-third or oneid
fourth suspended in mucilage, is a more efig
factual dose. NVitli the Nitrate of silver
?h and a remedy to he alluded to, I prevent,
"ii or if present, control, beyond a doubt, tho
iff diarrhoea, so often annoying in Typhoid Fees
ver. A fearful eflect, but by no means com- |
I"5 mon, is the Bine-skin. I have seen it prong
duced more than once, and judging, from my
l?~ knowledge of those cases, I concluded that
bi" nothing less than two to three hundred
ri- grains administered in maximum doses and
or. without intervals will produce it.
ill It is comfortable for the physician to ful)s
ly" realize the abundant resource offered in
is, epispasties. When, even in despite of other
th- medicinal agents, tho disease keeps in the
>ar progressive?vital powers showing an cvi\>
dent tendency to prostration?then he mayid
reliably employ his blisters. Employ them
lie if possible in anticipation of prostration?
nk knowing that there is evidently a period be?
twecn the stage of excitement and prostraor
tion, in which blisters procure a most salutu>c
ry influence. Congestion is with us a tioubilc
lesome feature in our cases; predominating
in- over any local inflamation. Hence the utilIxis
ity of blisters, as powerful and most perma?f
nent equalizers of tho circulation. Extonm
sivo superficial reseeation may be had wither
out much discharge from blistered surfaces,
y* which perhaps is not very desirable, by early
removing the plasters, in which wo imwe
part new energies to the already succumbing
ac- nervous system?change the action of the
he circulation, &c., thereby re-establishing our
is patient beyond our largest expectation,
ivo If the disease treated is strictly an Adynaic
mic Fever, stimulants are most certainly required.
Various stimulants are offered such
)v for example, as nminonia, camphor, opium,
he wine, brandy, Ate. We employ the wine or
m- brandy to tho almost entire exclusion of the
>n- rest, for the reason that they best fulfil the
?u- indications presented. Good wine will suf>a
fico in tho mildest cases. In the more ages,
gravoted cases, brandy is both most, suitable
>us and reliable.
ral Quantities.?The one-half, and again tho
to one-fourth of which would in health produce
so- inebriation, are essentially necessary to
rouse tho depressed nervous energy, fill the
ies circulation and equalize tho warmth of surcs,
face. We employ the capsicum variously
ni- with the pepper gruel to which Inudinum is
\v, added in proper quantifies, we obtain two imi?c
portant ends, viz: produce lusting stimulant
lly effects nnd secure porfeet quietude on the
ci- part of the bowels. Withont quietude Ty?n
phoid fever is a fearful malady, and with it,
one of small fatality. Tho most remarkablo
I'y recovery from Typhoid fever that we have
ever seen, was one (adult slave) in whom
lV0 the bowels were kept quiet by the daily ad
,at ministration of tho remedy for twenty-one
'consecutive days. I allude to this case, because
I am convinced that irreparable misy?
chief is done by pnrgation. Frequent repely?
tition and a steady perseverance in our medEV?
icinal agents, is essentially necessary in Tydo
phoid Fever
set On- briefly recapitulating this article, it
ra- would seem to be an energetic treatment,
tic which could only be relied on in malignant
ve cases. But in the mild cases, I am fully peril

From the Farmer if- Planter.
Management of Miloh Cows.
Messrs. Editors:?I feel myself highly
flattered by the notice you have taken of my
former lctter.and the request that you made
of ine in reference to the breeding and
.v, ?i ~r ???i? t i?i ? i
uu%ii(i^viiii;iit vi t?uiiv. A lulu HO UR'il
that my cows had boon heard of so far
from home, though they have been spoken
of, and I ridiculed some little in this vicinity.
But to the subject. So far as
breeding is concerned, I have paid no attention
to it, except to have the cows to
calve at such times as we arc best provided
ed with pasture and food. Not having the
means myself of importing, and thus imrroving
my stock, I have long wished that
lived near such a man as Mr. Peters of
Atlanta, that I might profit by his enterprise.
My management is simple, and should
be common among the lovers of milk and
butter. In the first place, get the cow fat
before she calves. As soon as she calves, or
(a day or two before,) milk her clean, and
make such applications to the bag as will
soften it and remove the milk-fever (greasy
water or pot-liquor is good)* At the same
time let her food be such as will increase
the tlow of milk. Slops, pumkins, beets,
carrots, & ., also, green rye, green oats,
crop-grass, pea-vines or collards, will increase
the quantity of milk. This should
be attended to w hile the calf is very young.
The quality may be improved by more
substantial food, such as meal, or choopped
graiu, with a little dry food in summer,
and green lots or esculent roots in
winter, with slops?for all dry or green
food is not so good as a mixture.
The cow should be housed during bad
weather. I think it injures a cow as much
to be exposed one day ami night, as it does
a horse or a mule a week. Those who
have noticed, observe that cows continue
to improve during the summer and fall or
while the pastures are good, but*luring
the winter they lose all the improvement
if left to live on dry food alone, and everv
' * ^
spring wo nave to start from nothing
again. Whereas, by having green lots
for the cow to feed on, only one-hour each
day, with a little meal and some roots as
above named, we can keep her up through
tho winter, and then commence the improvement
in the spring where we left off
in the fall, and thus increase the milk every
year. It matters not how mueh milk
a cows give* at live years old; I risk the
opinion that she will give double as much
at ten years old, if the improvement is
continued. For, once the cow is really
fat, it is an easy matter to keep her so if
we are not over stocked. For illustration:
I once heard of a man who got a farm
and hands by marriage, he walked out
where the men were hoeing and thining
corn; ho was delighted with his prospects
from the great number of stalks in each
hill; a boy caught and at one jerk pulled
up seven stalks, leaving two in the hill;
the enraged master raised his cnin, and
jumped at the boy, exclaiming: "boy! boy!
you'l ruin us, ruin us ! we'll have to beg
our bread?|1i?m w*? nine Hue corns til
that hill and you have pulled up seven ot
them." This is precisely the ease with
two many farmers, they have nine cows
where they should have but two.
I had rather have but one cow on full
pasturage and feed, than six on the same
pasturage and feed. So, also, I had rutlier
have one stalk in a hill than nine, or
I even two. Every one should, keep as many
cows as his means will afford, and do more.
On gathering my crops, the milch cows
arc the first stock let into the field, and I
get the benefit in two or three days, where|
as, if the hogs have tho preference it is
| two or three years before the benefits
come on the table.
In conclusion, let me say to tho lovers
, of milk and butter, take an agricultural
paper; read and study nature; give your
cows nature's food, and good shekel; milk
her regularly,and be sure to milk her clean,
especially while the calf is young; never
suffer the milch cows to run with other
I catUc; by this means they will give milk
for years?and then, too, you see that I
have been greatly benefitted by "bookfarming,"
or, rather, by reading agricultural
papers.
If you consider these rude statements
worthy of a place in your v duablo paper,
they are at your service.
To have a good Horse.
It is not sufficient to have a good colt,
the product of a superior mare,with a stallion
of good blood and established reputation.
This is necessary, but it is not all
that is necessary. A most promising colt,
that attracts universal admiration while it
follows the mare, may bo grown into an
almost worthless horse. How, then, having
a good begining, shall we grow a
good horse?tor good horses alone arc
profitable to raise? By exercising the
greatest care in their management until
they have ceased to be colts. Many ruin,
almost, a coit the first winter by star1
vation?by turning it into the yard to run
with the young cattle, to pick up a scanty
nourishment, and that of the cheapest
and coarsest food. There is, on the other

and good and full feeding of appropriate
food, will tell so much for goou ae this
same first winter. A friend who, for now
many years, has annually sold two or
three young horses at the highest market
prices, has often assured us that at no
time in the life of his colts did he take so
good care of them and feed them better
than during their first winter, and that
by the effect produced upon thein the first
year he could tell what kind of horsea they
would become. There is ^mething so
absured in scanting the ?4py of nourishment
In vnnncr errnwini* ?nim?l I

Some fancy that auch a course will render
the animal hardy. The only ofTect produced
upon the growiug animal by an
insufficient nutrition, ie to hinder his best
development. Wait until he has attained
hia growth, and then stint him, if you
choose. It can be done then with lees
injury.
Colts are often put to hard work at too
young an age. It not infrequently happens
that you will see a horse or fire years
with all the wear and tear of ten in his
appearance. This should never be. The
exercise of the same judgement in the
management of colts most used towards
children, would prevent this.
Colts should be put to exercise and
training at an early age, and may do light
labor to advantage, but to put upon four
years the labor proper only for six or seven
years, has been the ruin of many a promising
animal. There are other suggestions
that occur properly in this connection,
but wo will omit them, considering the

any other crop. They need not be gathered,
but remain good in the ground until
Majch or April. During six months,
from the first of October to the first of

of ground peas and kept as fat as though
they bad free access to a crib of corn.

been too long neglected The Cttoon Plant
, is established to promote these interests,
, keeping entirely uloof from party politics.
A complete foreign and domestic
correspondence has been arranged. The
best talent of the country will contribute to
our columns, which will present a medium,
of general communications, correspondence,
una information for the friends of the mea
sures wo advocate. The proper steps have
been taken in Europe und America to lay
, the foundation of a direct foreign trade at
the South, and to introduce our coarse manufactures
into the continental European
market. One object of the Cotton Plant
will be, as the organ of direct trade, to stimulate
the South to carrv out thi* Imnnrom

We call upon the Southern merchant* generally
to nend ua their businean cards, that
we in-iy lay them before the country, to eiflible
the frienda of southern commerce, manufactures,
&c., to discriminate properly in
their desires to promote southern enterprise,
The importance of Washington City a

in regard to opening foreign corrcapon,

is apparent. The opportunity of seeing
here, also, members ot Congress from every
district of the country, presents a means of
general co-operation not to be found elsewhere.

READ AM) RE CO.\VI.\C'EI).
From the " Boston Bee."
The editor said. Dec. 22d,
Dr. Ilqfln mi's Celebrated Herman Bitter:
for the cure of Liver Complaint, Jaundice
Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is
deservedly one of the most popular tncdi
cines of the day. These Bitters have beei
used by thousands, and a friend at our elbov
says he has himself received an effectual an.
permanent cure of Diver Complaint from th<
use of this remedy. We are convinced that
in the use of these Bitters, the patient con
stantly gains strength and vigor?a fact wor
thy of great consideration. They are pies
mint in taste and smell, and ean he used b]
persons with the most delicate stomach
\vitli safety, under any circumstances. W<
are speaking from experience, and to tin
afflicted we advise their use.
"Scott's Weekly," one of the best I .iter
ary papers published, said Aug. 25 :
' Dr. Ilit/taml's (imnan Hitters, tn.-inufac
tured by Dr. Jackson, are now recommendci
by some of the most prominent members o
the faculty as an article of mncli ctlicacy ii
cases of female weakness. As such is tin
case, we would advise all mothers to obtaii
a bottle, and thus save themselves mud
sickness. Persons of debilitated constitu
lions will lind these Hitters ndvnnla eons ti
their health, as we know from experience
the salutary effects they have upon weal
systems."
MORE EVIDENCE.
The Hon. C. I>. Hinclino, Mayor of tin
City of Camden, N. J., says:
" Hour land's Geiiman Bitters.?W
have seen many flattering notices of thi
medicine, and the source from which the;
came induced us to make inquiry respectiii|
its merits. From inquiry we were pcrsua
ded to use it, and must say we found it spc
cific in its action upon diseases of the live
und digestive organs, and the powerful influ
ence it exerts upon nervous prostration i
really Atirprising. It calms and strengthen
the nerves, bringing them into a state of re
| pone, making sleep refreshing.
**If this medicine was more generally "set
we are satisfied there would be less sicklies
as from the stomach, liver, and nervous sye
tern the great majority of real and iniugina
ry diseases emanate. Have them in a heal
thy condition, and you can bid defiance t
epidemics generally. This extraordinnr
medicine we would advise our friends win
are at all indisposed to give it a trial?itwil
recommend itself. It should, in fact, be ii
every family. No other medicine can pro
duce such evidence* of merit"
Evidence upon evidence has been reeeiv
ed (like the foregoing) from all sections o
the Union, the last three years, the strong
est testimony in its favor, is, that there i
more of it used in th*- practice of the rcgu
l.ir Physicians f Phil .delphi.i, tli-n all otiie
nostrums combined, nf ct that can easily b
est blished. and fully proving that ancient it
c preparation will meet with their ?juict ap
proval hen presented even in this form.
That this medicine will cure laver Com
plaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt al
ter using it us directed, it acts specifics!!
upon the stomach and liver: it is preferabl
to calomel in all bilious disrates?the eflec
is immediate. They can lie administered t
female or infant with safety and reliable betl
