Cold Feet Are the avenues to death of multitudes \ every year; it is h sign of imperfect citculatum, or want of vigor of constitution.? No ot.e ran he weP, whose leet are liahitually cold. When the hlood is equally 1 distrihuied to every part of the hody, there is generally good health. If there 1 be iess blood at any one point than is nat 1 1 ural, there is coldness; and not onlv so, there must be more which happens to l?e ' the weakest, to be the least able to throw up a barieade against the in rushing ene j my Hence, when the lungs are weakest ' the extra blood gather there in the shape ' of a common cold, or spitting blood.? Clergy met., and other public speakers, l>v J impropei exposures often render tlie throat the weakest part; to such, cold feet gives hoarseness or a raw burning feelhig, most ' fell nt the little hollow at the bottom of ' the neck. To others again, whose bowels are weak through over eating, or drink- ' ing spirituous honors, cold feet give various degrees of derangement, from common !' looseness up to diarrhoeas or dysentery ( and so we might go through the whole ! body, but for the present, this is sullicient | ' for illustration.

This is a inos' | pleasant operation, and fully repays for j the trouble of it. No one can sleep well 1 or refreshingly with cold feet. Ail In dians and hunters sleep with their feet to the lire.

Railways.?(treat credit is due to the enterprising citizens who have prosecuted in with energy and success the construction |1U of new facilities of transportation for pasa seng> rs and produce.

Indeed, where he proprietors in the vicinage are stock I holders, the road cannot be said to bo ss- ! profitless, even although it be far from ?,j yielding a dividend. The capital thus inIhs vssted in South Carolina may be put down H at ?18,000,000, (of which sum the State jor holds shares amounting to ?2,8 12,300,) ! and the extent ol railway in working or| der at 900 miles.
