Jnwsittg Rafting. . A GOOD OLD STORY. There lived lately in one of the mountainous counties in Western Virginia many Dutchmen, and, among them one named Henry Snyder; and there were likewise two bnfhers, called George and Jake Fulwiler?they Tut" r:<^\ and each owned a mill. fleuTy Snyder was subject to fits of derangement, but they were not of such a nature as to render him disagreeable to any one. Fie merely conceived himself to be the Supreme Kule- of the Universe, and, while uncer the infatuation, ind himself a throne built, ou whu! >?* *. t- *rv the causes of all who offended r.iui; a >d parsed them off to heaven or bell, as his humor prompted? he personating both Juge and culprit. It happened CDe day that some difficulty oocured between Henry Snyder and the Fulwilers, on account of their mills; when to be aveuged, Henry Snyder took along with him a book in which he recorded his judgments, and mounted his throne to try their causes. He was heard'to pass the following judgments: Having prepared himself, (actingas Judge and yet responding for the accused), he called Pulwiler. " Shorge Fulwiler, stand up. What hash you been doin in dis lower world ?" " Ah I lort, I does not know." "Well, Shorge Fulwiler, hasn't you got a mill ?" " Yes, lort, I hash." " Well Shorge Fulwiler, did'nt you never take too much toll ?" " Yes, lort, I hash?when der water w;is low and mein stones wash dull, I*take a leetle too much toll." " Well, den Shorge Fulwiler, you must goto der left, mid der goats." ."Well, Shake Fulwiler, now you stand up. What you been doin in dis lower world ?" [The trial proceeded throughtout precisely like the former, and with the same result] " Now 1 tries mineself. Henery snnyder! Henry Shnyder ! stand up. What hash you been doin in dis lower world ?" " Ah ! lort, I does not know !' " Well, Henry Shynder, hasn't you got a mill ?" " Yes, lort, I hash." ? Well, Henry Shnyder, did'nt you ever take too much toll ?" "Yes, lort I hash?whender water wash low and mein stones was dull, I hash taken a leetle too much toll ?" " But Henry Shnyder, vat did you do vid der toll." " Ah ! lort, I gives it de poor." (Pausing.) "Well, Henry Shnyder you must go to der right mid der sheep; but it is a tain tight squeeze !" ffc; 32 - > Bad .^lokTCN'S BEST?A STORY OF VZR DNT.ya*A correspondent of the Post is responsible for the following statement of a / most remarkable event. It bears on its face indisputable evidence of its truth : Uncle Morton, better known at Hydes, in Sudbury, Vermont, as 'Dad.' is a famous story teller, in both senses of tho word, for he not only tells mntiy, but they are generally of the Munebauseuish kind. In fact, he has drawn so long* bow ?n the way of romance, that, being nearly ninety year.< of age. he now repents his fioti..-is >? lvli-piuuble facts.? The iVlowing is r.i?. jckmI in he lost, aud I give it verbatim, i wish 1 eouid uive the matter of faet. on .m.h munii'T in which he ' - .i i ?- -i l . . it.;. :?i_ impresses its trum. I n:ta ueeu laismg wuu the old mau od the sensible manners and easterns of our forefathers, aud their success iu doing the business of life, when he broke out: 'I tell ye, them ancesters of oum didn't do nothing halfway. But there is an awful falling off siuce them times. Why in my time, when I was a boy, things went on more economical than now. We all worked. My work was to take care of the hens and cbickings (Dad is famous for bis handling of the alphabet,) and I will tell yer how I raised them. You know I'se a very thiuking child, always a thinking 'cept when I am a asleep. Well, it come on me one night to raise a big lot of chickings from one hen; and I'll tell ye how I did it. I took an old whiskey barrel and filled it.with fresh eggs, and then put it on the south side of the barn, with some horse^manure around it, and then set a hen on the bang hole. The old critter kept her sittin, and in three weeks I heard a little peep. Then I put my ear to the spiggot, when the peeping growed like a swarm of bees. I did not say any thing to the folks abont the hatching, for they'd all the time told me I was a fool, bat the next morning I knocked the head out of the barrel, and covered the barn floor, two feet deep all over with little ohickings. Now you may laugh as much as you please, hut it's true." When I hear a better story I will give it to you. The Punctual Man.?Mr. Higgins was a very punctual man through all the transactions of life. He amassed a large property, by untiring industry and punctuality; aud at the advanced age of ninety years, was resting quietly his bed. He had deliberately made almost every arrangement of decease and burial. TTia rmW crrew fainter, and the lipht r o # ? / ? o seemed just flickering in its socket, when one of his sons observed? ? Father, you will probably live but a day day or two, is it not weil for you to name your pall-bearers?" "To be sure, my son," said the dying man?" it is well thought of, and I will do it now." He gave a list of six, the usual number, and sunk back exhausted upon the p"llow. A gleam of thought passed over his with-: ered face like a ray uf light, and he rallied j once more. " My son read me that list. Is the name of Mr. Wiggius there ?" "Itis, my father." ? TIk-h s'.iiKc it Said he, emphatically, "for he w.-s iievvr punctual?was never any wheie t.? season. and he might hinder the pioccs-ion a wliole hour." * A bA'j Mtu. ? iue ?*';itjrof the Springfield Rcpubtli- in v,-iio is no: reputed to be given to the uighi m-rv. has had sonic terrible sights in Ids day; enough to make one's blood freeze in h;s veins." Here are some of his waitings in regard to them, to which we invite the special attention of all the bachelor tribe: "There are some sad sights in this world ?a city sacked and burnt?a battle field after a great slaughter?a Loudon in the midst of a plague?a ship burnt at sea?a 1 family pining in starvation?a jug of Molassess wrecked upon the pavement?but the saddest sight to us, of all, is an old bachelor stolidly walking towards his end, his great duties undone, his shirt butons off, his stockings out at the toes, and nobody to leave his money to. Were we such a man, the mild reproving eye of a witness, or maiden lady WQuld drive us mad. But there is still hope. Uglier and older men than any of our friends have married a beautiful wife, who trained men admirably and spent their money elegantly. A Hard Witness.?The following dialogue, which occured several years ago between a lawyer and a witness, in a justice's court, not a great many thousand miles from this place, is worth relating: It seemed that Mr. Jones loaned Mr. Smith a horse, which died while in his (Smith's) possession.' Mr. Jones brought Quif tn rofintjop f.hp vnlne nf fchfi horse, at tributing his death to bad treatment. During the coarse of the trial a witness (Mr. Brown) was called to the stand to test'fy as to how Mr. Smith treated horses. Lawyer (with a bland and confidence-invoking smile )?'Well, sir, how does Mr. Smith generally ride a horse ?' Witness (with a very merry twinkle in his eye, otherwise imperturbable.)?'Astraddle, I believe, sir.' L. (with a scarcely preceptible flush of vexation upon his cheek, but still speakicg in his smoothest tones.)?'But, sir, what gate does he ride ?' IP.?'He never rides any gate, sir. His boys ride all the gates.' L. (his bland smile gone and his voice slightly husky.)?'But how does he ride when in company with others ?' IP.?'Keeps up, if his horse is able; if not, he goes behind.' L. (triumphantly, and in perfect fury.) 'How does he ride when alone, sir V IP.?'Don't know; never was with him when he was alone.' L. 'I have done with you, sir.' Judicial Dignity in Louisiana.?A correspondent of the Brandon (Miss.) Republican gives the following specimen of1 how justice is administered and judicial dignity sustained in one of the Parish Courts in Louisiana. He says: Speaking of the (irand Juries reminds .me that, the Parish Courtis dow in session here, his Honor Kiah Rodgers presiding?old Kye?or "Ky" they usually call him. Old Ky was passing sentence on a criminal, and delivered himself as follows : "Prisoner, stand up ! Mr Kettles, this Court is under the painful necessity of passing sentence of the law upon you, sir This Court has no doubt, Mr. Kettles, but what you were brought into this scrape by the use of intoxicating liquor. The friends of this Court all kncncs that if there is any vice this Court abhors, it is intemperance. When this Court was a young man, Mr. Kettles, it was considerably inclined tc drink; and the friends of this Court knows that this Court has naterally a very high temper, and if this Court had not stopped short off, and stopped the useof intoxicating liquor, Ihave no doubt, sir, but what this Court, sir, would have been in the Penitentiary, or in its (j raver \ '| Waggery.?Sometime ago, on the Sab-j bath day, we wended our way to one of our churches, and instead of a sermon heard an address upon some missionary or other benevolent subject. After the address was concludedvtwo brethern were sent round with the basket for contributions. Parson L who was one of the basket bearerstaking the side upon which he sat. Immediately in our front and upon the next seat negligently reclined our friend Bill H , a gentleman of infinite humor and ful of dry Jokes. Parson L extends the baskets and Bill slowly shook his head. " Come, William, give us something," said the parson. "Uan t do it, replied J5ill. " Why not ? Is not the cause a good one ?" "Yes; butl am notable to give anything." "Poh! Poh! I know better, you must give a better reason than that." "Well, I owe too much money?I must be just before I am generous, you know." "But, William, you owe God a larger debt tban one else." "That's true, parson, but then he aint a pushing me like the balance of my creditors." The parson's face got into rather a curious condition and he passed on. A Good Witness.?'Did the defendant knock the plaintiff down with malice prepense ? 'No, sir; he knocked him down with a flat iron/ 'Tou misunderstand me, my friend; I want to know whether ho attacked him with any evil intent.' 'Oh, no, sir; it was outside the tent.' No, no; I wish you to tell me whether the attack was at all a preconcerted affair.' 'No, sir; it was not a free concert affair ; it was a circus.' A good story is told of a noted Wall street stock broker who was the first after the Ohio Life and Trust Co. to fail. The story runs thus: On the ? day of August, 1857, he failed, but not for the first time by several. He ordered his confidential clerk to make a schedule which would pay fifty cents on the dollar. The clerk being somewhat startled, said: 'Why, Mr. you can't do that!' 'Well,' said he, 'that is what I always have failed at, and if my assets are not sufficient, I'll pay it out of my own pocket/ An old toper was induced to sign the temperance pledge, which he kept religiously for some weeks. At last he got deeidedlu hnlmv. and nne of his friends re. monstrated with him for his faithlessness to his obligations. He answered. ?To be sure, I signed the pledge, but I was tremendously dry and all signs fail in dry time/ Adversity?Ah, Sam, so you'vo seen trouble, eh V 4Yes, Jem, yes.' 4\Vell, well, cheer up, man, adversity trici us uud shows up our better qualities.'

The best plan to eradicate them, I have found (after many trials) to be iDowing them off in the month of May, ami subjecting the land to close grazing. A held of mine, in 1800, was, after corn, so thiokly with sassafras and i - 1 l.~J offnrd. i Driers, emu a menu iemui&eu, mat n ? ??.ed a good swarth nearly all over. It was sown in wheat and grass in the Spring, and was afterwards grazed for four years to the utmost limit of capability; the bushes and briers were mowed but once, and to my great delight, the entire field had not left upon it a brier or bnsh, except where a sassafras tree had been grubbed up Grubbing a thiokset field is a very costly operation, and will not cure the evil. The idea prevails in the Valley of Virgina, that our lands on this side of the mountains are far more liable to such pests than theirs. The reason for this impression is obviously not in the greater liability of our lauds to be so infested, but in the different modes of treating them which prevail in these localities respectively. Their lands are set in grasfi when fresh, and mowed and grazed from the year they are cleared, by which means these pests are kept under, ours, have generally worked as long as they would pay, and in many instances much longer, and not grazed, because we had but little stock, and were only mowed to a very limited extent; on which account the evil complained of has not been checked by the remedical proces: I have suggested. Let me not, however, be misunderstood on this subject. The mowing recommended refers only to the bushes and briers. He who has an abundant supply of corn-stalks, shucks, wheat-straw and chaff, has no need of hay for stock of any kind. If Dear to market, and hay can be sold for one dollar cash, theD mow it; but if a distance from market, and the staple crops are corn and wheat, mow not. It is my decided opinion that the cutting of a crop of clover-hay, and ? ?? ? ^ mill nvllunQA Uie lUhiug awa) in wie eccu, nm land as much as a crop of corn. Rich flats will stand it, but common high land cannot. The question may be asked, why graze if so much opposed to hay making ? Because cash payments are make to the land in gracing it, whilst but little is returned to it when hay is out and fed on the farm and nothing when it is sold off. Again, the grazing process proceeds slowly and gradually despoils the land of its covering, while mowing leaves it is suddenly denuded and exposed to the blazing Summer's sun. I keep as fat horses and oxen as most persons, yet I have not, on a farm peculiarly adapted to the business, cut five tons of hay within the space of twenty years. Let those who have rich moist flats, institute careful experiments to test the relative value of their production in corn and in hay. It will be found that the corn will give at least fifty bushels of grain per acre, while the rough food from that ucre will amount to at least as much in quality to hay so far as it is eaten. The difference, then, in favor of the corn crop, will be the nctt gain of the amount of grain produced, the offal of the crop being- fully equal in value to the production of the same quantity of land in hay.?

MEBCY TOWARDS ANIMALS. * The teamster, who loads his dray or wagon I so heavily that the horse or team attached to it cannot draw it but a short distance, without being so exhausted of strength a6 to be unable to proceed, without stopping to rest, or breathe awhile, is an unmerciful and an unwise man. Whoever practices such a mode of loading his team is ignorant of true economy, and is wanting in merciful feelings?is inhuman. It is ever injurious to the beast of burden or draft to overload him; such loads as require the exercise of the full, or nearly the whole strength of the animals to move them for ward, strain their nerves and sinews and stifle them The over-driven or over-worked horse is injured in his strength and speed. It is uneconomical to manage and use a horse in such a manner as to impair his usefulness and value. It is most unwise to lessen by our usage, more than necessary, the market value of our working animals, to- shorten their lives or their periods of serviceableness. It is great folly to souse a horse, that would, with kind and wise management, be serviceable for ten years as to curtail that term of usefulness to six years. The motto that "time is money," is true indeed. By over-driving or over-loading, we impair the speed of the carriage and dray horse. We lose time in their lessened Bpeed and activity afterwards. We occasionally see drays, sleds, and wagoDs so heavily loaded for the horses or teams attached, that they cannot be moved but a few^yards, or rods, with so fatiguing the animal as to require rest, and may be, without difficulty the load is started after such pauses or stoppings.? The horses are much injured by straining, to haul such loads, and much time is lost by such mode of draggage. It would be more expeditious and economical to go oftener with lighter loads. It is better to go twice, in transporting flour, than put on one barrel too many for a load. It is an injury to the harnesses and carriages, when the load is too heavy for the team. A sled is much racked by the swinging to and off the team in endeavoring to start. Heavy loads rack and strain the carriage ever. It is ungontlemanly to so load a team that its movements paiu and shock the sensibilities of street passengers. The act of overloading is accursed. Covering for Milk-Pans.?A new plan for covering milk pans in summer, to keep out dust, flies, &c. Take a piece of common brown sheeting, and cut it about three inches larger than the top of the pan, and make a wide hem, say an inch, around it. Then take largo wire and bend it in a circle, same size as the cloth, aud run it into the hem, and fasten it there. Whe~? laid over the pan, the wire falls over the edg?- of the pan, to the effectual exclusion of dust or any other substance. . Flax.?Every farmer will find a few j bushels of flax seed very useful in feeding his {young stock during the winter, especially j calves. It is claimed by some good feeders, j a table spoonful of crushed linseed mixed j with a quart of corn meal is a better feed for | a spring calf during its first winter, than two , quarts of corn meal and a quart of oil cake j meal. Some farmers rather buy the flaxseed i than oil cake. Plow deep while sluggard's sleep, You'll have corn to sell and keep. Ccmpcrance jpattcr. GERRITSMITH ON TEMPERANCE. Were this the place for it, I would endeavor to make it apparent, that total abstinence from intoxication drinks is the only sure protection from it. I would, in. that case, expose the fallacy of the doctrine, that temperate drinking is friendly to sobriety, and is the cure and preventive of druukenness, or is cither. Temperate drinkers claim great merit for their pratice?great merit in it is to serve the cause of Temperance. These temperate drinkers arc, by the way, a very self-complacent class of persons. They pride themselves on being the in medio tutissimus ibis?the juste milieu?class of persons ; equally removed on the one hand, from the vulgarity of drunkenness, and, on the other, from the cold water fanaticism. Nevertheless, at the hazard of raffling their selfcomplacency, I must tell them, that they are more injurious than drunkards themselves to the cause of Temperance. In point of fact, drunkards are helps to the cause of Temperance, instead of being obstacles in its Ann mtlllnn r\f /trnnlr'or^a V??*J. TT I*Jy UUI uail-llillliui: V/i vnuuauiuB are our half million strongest arguments for the necessity of total abstinence ! Indeed, I would that no perons were able to drink intoxicating liquors, without immediately becoming a drunkard. For who, then, would drink it, any sooner than he woald drink the poison, that always kills, or jump into the fire, that always barns ? It is because so many, who drink intoxicating liquor, escape drunkenness, that so many are emboldened todrink it. I said, that drunkards serve the cause of Temperance. I appeal to mothers for the truth of it. Mothers ? when you would most effectually admonish your children not to drink intoxicating liquors, do you not point them to this, that, and the other drunkard ? And so long as your children keep their eyes on these beacons, they take not one step in the pathway which leads to the drunkard's grave and the drunkard's hell. But the daDger is that they will avert their eyes from these beacons, and fasten them on the long and attractive train of sober, respectable temperate drinkers, and follow them. There is not one youth in this city, whose habits are perilled by the presence and influence of drunkards?for the example of the.drunkard is too bad to be contagious.- On the contrary, there is not one youth in this city whose habits are not in peril from the example of temperate drinkers. Alas, many a temperate father has made drunkards of his sons, at his own table 1 at his own table, adorned with decanters of wine?if, indeed, that can be called wine, which is so generally, a vile mixture, containing little, or no wine ! Alas, how seductive is the way to drunkenness in fashionable life. And why, therefore, do we wonder that fashionable life is filled with drunkards ? To the confiding and unwary youth, who is just entering on his career of liquor drinking, how polite, attractive, and altogether unalarming are the drinking usages of fash ionable life. These usages are commended by the brilliant wit and fascinating song, that are so often associatad with them; and more pernicious than all are the smiles of beauty with which they are too often garlanded. Surely, it is not strange, that, in these circumstances, this youth should sip a little wine. Nevertheless, this little sipping is the beginning of his drunkenness. Surely, it is not 6trange that what is so apparently harmless, should wake no fear in him. Nevertheless it is at the fountain head of his woes and all his ruin, that this hopeful, happy youth has now taken his stand. He very soon learns to drink his full glass. He very soon learns to quaff his wine like a gentleman. "Like a gentleman !" Oh, what variety of ruin is covered over by this winning phrase! These, however, are but the first steps in the way of drunkenness, which pur tempted youth has taken. His drunkenness is, as yet, but the little rill, which meanders through pleasant fields and flowery gardens. By and by, he drinks several g'asses at his dinner; and a little further on, he likes braudy as well as wine. That rill of which we spoke has now become a river, that is bearing him to his ruin?sogeotly, however, that he is scarcely sensible of the motion. Nevertheless, he is still numbered with temperate drinkers. He is still safe in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others. But time passes on. His appetite grows every year, and every month, and every day. His potations become stronger and deeper, and more frequent. All now see that he is a drunkard. The geutlc river is swollen into a raging torrent, that is hurrying its freight ?its still precious, though temporally and eternally ruined freight?into the abyss from which there is no return. Such is the eud of this youth, whom we choose as the type of innumerable millions. How easy he might be saved from all these transformations and all this ruin of the Cir cean cup, had a friendly hand led him, whilst he could yet be led, to the immoveable rock of total abstinence! There and there only, he would have been safe from all the woes which threaten every liquor drinker. So long as his feet remained planted upon that rock, he might have excluiined : "A thousand shall fall at tuy side and teu thousand at my right hand; but it shall not come nigh unto me. Iam safe." THE DRUNKARD TO SOCIETY. The drunkard is uot injuring himself only, but he is, if standing in those relations, depriving community of a useful member of society; the wife of a husband, his children of a father and those in the various relations of brother, relative,* or friend of the benefit his influence and help he might be to them. If a stone forces itself out of an arch it injures the whole structure. The injury is proportioned to the position occupied, and the power to sustain and benefit. A sense of duty leads every conscientious man deeply to feel the responsibility thus resting upon him to tiic follow Tho nrrnnf VinfTv of Sflhor. OOH b* J 1 scientious men, seek to save the community from the evil of drunkenness, and arrest the drunkard in his course of self-destruction by every means in their power. It is the guilty who enquire, "Am I my brother's keeper?" We inform the liquor dealers who charge us with meddling with othor men's matters, and say they cry falsely. "It is none of your business," tnat they cry falsely. It is our business. It is made our duty by the God who made us, and by the ties of fraternity that bind us to our fellow men, and we will attend to it; and never relinquish the pursuit of our object till drunkard making is legally, strictly prohibited, and the drunkard-maker subjected to the punishment, merited by his guilty course. txZT Gougb argues that the Maine Law has not crushed oat the traffic, threfore the law. is a failure. Moral suasion; even when enjoined by the impassioned eloquence of Mr. Gough, has failed to win the world fom its drinking habits. Therefore, is Mural suusiona (,dead letter ?" When the rivers of earth are dried to their fountains by dipping out the ocean with a table-spoon, we shall look to see mora! suasion alone destroy an evil which is bulwarked by legislation, aud the respectability resulting from such legislation. It is madness to hope for deliveranec by sending out the dove when there are whole broods of licensed vultures to tear it with remorseless beaks.

SANFORD, Compounded entirely from GtJMS, IS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND LIVER MEDICINES now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic, easier,, milder, and more effectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Catholic, but a jbivtr remedy, acting first on the Liver to. eject its morbid matter, then on the stomach and bowels to carry off that master, thus accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the painfal feelings experienced la the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses, will strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity. The Liver is one of .theprincipal regulators ofttehumanbody; and when, it performs H|? functions well, the pow PH ers of the system are fully developed. Thc ^.stomach is almost entirely depencient on the,healthy, action of the Liver, for the proper f J performance of its func Hons; when the atom ^ljaclnsat fault, the towels are at fault, and the1 J whole system suffers in consequence of one oi-j^ClgF111?the .Liver?haV'ingceosed todoitsduty.! j For the diseases of that organ, one of the pro- fin prietorahasmadeithis study, in a practicd*ol|H"1 moretban twenty jeaft to find some remedy Wherewith to counteract the many derafige }> merits to which. liable. , jrKs n; ,.: >?

Wood?Dear Sir: I have heard much said of tho wonderful effects of your Hair Restorative, but having been so often cheated by quackery and quack nostrums, hair dyes, Ac., I was disposed to place your Restorative in the same category with the thousand and ouc loudly trumpeted quack remedies, until I met you in Lawrence county some months since, when you gave me such assurance as induced the trial of your Restorative in my family?first by my good wife, whose bait- hud become very thin and entirely white, and before exhausting one of your large bottled, her hair was restored nearly to its original beautiful brown color, and had thickened and become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely over the head; she continues to use it, not simply because of its beautifying effects upon the hair, but because of its healthful influence upon the head and mind. .Others of my family and friends are using your Restorative, with the happiest effects; therefore, my skepticism and doubts in reference to Its character and value are entirely removed ; and I con and do most cordially and confidentially recommend its use by all who would have their hair restored from white or gray (by reason of sickness or age,) to original color or beauty, and by all youp^persons who would- have their hair Deamiiui ana glossy.. \ . Very truly and greatfplly jo3h\ SOLOMON MANN. Fbiend Wood: It was a long time after I saw you at Blissfield before I got the bottle of Restorative for which you gave me an order upon your agent in Detroit, ana when I got it we concluded to try it on Mrs. Mann's hair, as the surest test of its power. It has.doqe all tbpt you assured me it would do; and others of my Aynily and friends, having witnessed its effects, are "now using and recommending its use to others as entitled to the highest consideration you claim for it. Agr i, very respectfully and truly, yours, SOLOMON MANN. ' Carlyxk, 111., June 28, 1852. I have used Prof. 0. J. Wood's Hair Restorative, and have admired its wonderful effects.
