The Work is Coining.
The winter has waned apace and the ad
vent of spring is at hand ; but we will not
now speak of balmy breezes and cooing tur
tle doves. We still have many vigorous
storms to meet, and the stern labors of the
field to encounter. Are we all ready ?
Are the plows all stored away burnished
and bright ? Is the harrow ready, and the
cultivators ? And what of the seeds ? Have
we secured the fine plump seed oats and
the best varieties of potatoes. In short all
the things which we will need when the
throng of work comes on, are to be
thought of now, during the brief period
that intervenes before the snows shall have
finally melted away.
But while the active duties of the field
will now begin to press themselves upon
our attention, there are other things which
will still need reflection and demand fore
thought. Foremost amongst these things
is the great object of advancement. We
have organized an "Association" for
this purpose and decided to have a Fair
during the coming season for the exposition
of the products of the farm, the shop, and
the manufactory. And why Why have
we taken all this care and labor upon us?
Simply for one great and absorbing pur
pose—improvement. Onward, upward !
Better crops, finer fruits, improved stock,
and larger returns. It has also been de
cided to hold a Spring Fair, sometime du
ring the month of April, for the exhibi
tion of stock animals, seeds, and imple
ments. The details of the arrangement
for this Spring Fair will be published in
due time by the gentlemen who have the
matters in charge, and we earnestly hope
that persons having fine stock animals,
seeds or implements for sale or hire will
avail themselves of the advantages offered
by this occasion. This is the time to be
gin our preparations for a successful fall
exhibition. Now let us purchase or hire
fine animals. Now let us procure the best
of seeds, which, planted in good soil and
fructified with genial rains and our foster
ing care, shall produce fruits worthy of
exhibition and creditable alike to the ex
hibitor and the occasion upon which they
shall be shown. Let us take hold of this
matter with a hearty good will, and for
ever dispel the illusion that our mountain
region is incapable of producing good
crops or fine fruits. We know that it is
an illusion, for we have seen as fine fruits
and good crops as ever the earth has borne,
that were produced in our own vicinity.
The Currant and its Culture.
Of all the fruits in a farmer's garden,
there is none more useful than the currant.
When the plantation is once made it will
last for many years without much attention
and the fruits are so easily gathered that the
younger members of the family can be set
to it, and think it nothing but fun to
gather them. They usually bring a very
good price in market, and even if not con
venient to market, they make the best of
jelly, which always sells well. But, setting
aside any question of profit, there is always
a use for them at home. With sugar, for
supper, or as a jelly, one can have currants
all the year round—to say nothing of wine,
which, however, we do not recommend; for
it cannot be made of this fruit without an
'abundance of sugar, which, as it ferments ,
forms rum. Currant wine is thus but rum
flavored with currant juice, and is not a
very desirable beverage to " have in the
house."
The currant, to succeed well, should
have as cool a soil as can be found for it,
as it is a native of mountains or cool eleva
tions, and does not like our summer roasted
earth. The soil should be made still cooler
by heavy mulch of corn stalks laid under
and about the bushes. It makes no differ
ence if in time this material becomes a
foot or more thick. There is then little to
be done except an annual winter or spring
pruning. This cuts out the weak shoots
and leaves the strong ones, and these are
better for being shortened a little.
Sometimes the currant suffers much
from the currant-borer. This insect de
posits its eggs in the young shoots in the
summer while the wood is half mature.
These eggs soon hatch, and the young
larvae remain in the pith until the follow
ing spring, when they take wings, get out,
and fly away. The whole pith of a young
shoot will in many cases be entirely 'eaten
out. In such :cases .the shoots push out
but feebly, and never makes a vigorous
growth. To get rid of these insects the
best plan is to cut the branches away at
this time, which have the "worms" in and
destroy them. The weakened appearance
of the shoots will indicate the branches
which have been bored, or the little black
speck left by the insect when it deposited
the Legg—at any rate the cutting across of
a suspected shoot will always tell whether
it is hollow or not. A little experience
will soon make one expert in detecting a
bored shoot.
Grafting Emit Trees.
If one has any old or worn out fruit
trees, it pays well to graft them with other
kinds. Now is the time to cut the grafts,
and the time to put them on is just after
the buds begin to swell in spring. The
grafts must be kept till then in the earth,
and as cool as possible. Cleft-grafting is
the best, and quite large grafts may be
used if desirable. Grafting is very easy.
All that is necessary is to make the inner
bark next the wood of the scion come
against the inner bark of the stock to be
grafted. To do this with certainty, those
who have not had much practice slant the
graft a trifle so that part of the scion is a
little inside the line and a part out. There
is then sure to be one part which crosses,
and union is certain.
SWIFT'S GINGERBREAD REClPE.—ln
gredients, two teacups of molsses, one of
butter ; two teaspoons of ginger, one even
full of bi-carbonate of soda; one teacup of
warm water; flour enough to make a soft
dough. After placed in the bake tin, flour
your hands to put it into shape, and with
a knife cross cut the top into squares or
dimonds. Bake until "done !"
Oluzational.
The Best Education.
What is the best education, or how shall
we instruct our children ? Such is the
question that each generation considers ;
such is the question it wishes to solve in
order to apply its solution to the generation
destined to replace it. It is not only the
ambition to lead our children to our level,
which impels us to the examination of this
problem, it is above all the ardent desire to
prepare in them, to realize in them, the
ideal of which we have had glimpses and
which we have not been able to attain.—
We wish to transmit to them our aspira
tions, so that they may pursue them; we
wish to show to them the end which seems
to flee before us, so that they may attain
it; in short, we wish that they surpass us;
and it is with this hope that each generation
renews, for that which follows it, the eter
nal problem of the best education.
What is to-day the ideal that the best
education proposes ? It is the preparation
of the citizen for future society, by the de
velopment of the child in such conditions
that all his being may he harmonious,—
that nothing to him may offend our con
ception of the beautiful,—that no over-ex
citation or repression of a faculty may be
revealed in him.
Education is physical, moral, and intel
lectual, and, in order to realize our ideal, it
is necessary to give to each of these de
partments all it can possibly receive; we
wish that the child, becoming man or wo
man, may attain the plenitude of its facul
ties in such conditions, that the activity of
the body, the sensitiveness of the con
science, the intellectual power required
may give to this being of our preference,
the surest and most energetic powers of
laboring, of doing good, of perfecting him
self by aiding others, that consequently
he may obtain the greatest possible amount
of happiness.
To make our children wiser, better, no
bler, worthier, and happier than we have
been, is, indeed, the sum of our wishes.
And what are the surest means of realiz
ing them ? It is sometimes replied : "The
best education is that which succeeds best."
This reply hides under an appearance of
pure simplicity a profound truth. There
are no absolute systems; each subject de.
wands a peculiar culture. The best sys
tem is that which rears the best child. If
this system be moral, if it realizes our har
monious ideal, that is, if it gives to each
individual all the development of which he
is capable, it is good. Are there, then, no
principles in education upon which one
'can or ought to be founded? We believe
the study of human nature unfolds general
principles which are of great value in ed
ucation, but it is also important that the
system to which these principles serve as a
base, be large enough and in a measure
elastic enough to adapt and diversify itself
according to each individuality. The rule
is good if its application has made of each
the utmost. But in what measure does ed
ucation aid in the formation of the moral,
intellectual, and physical being ? May we
not err in attributing to an imperfect edu
cation faults which belong to the individu
al? This merits attention, so much the
more as in an opposite sense it encounters
opinions equally absolute. Some wish ed
ucation to form all the moral and intel
lectual being, and, as it were, the physical;
others wish nature to do all and education
nothing, or almost nothing. These two
views seem to us half true, half false. Phys.
ic.ny, clic buinan being, as every animal,
is capable of more or less energy, of more
or less activity, according as it is cared for
with more or less discernment,—cared, for
not enervated, for excess of management is
clearly prejudicial to health and vigor of
temperament. Intellectually, the human
being is born with faculties, tastes, and
aptitudes, which are indeed increased and
extended by culture. Morally, the human
being is born with affinities, inclinations,
antipathies, which art developed accord
ing to circumstances, examples, and op
portunities. If we admit that the intelli
gent culture of the physical, moral, and
intellectual being brings these results, we
will not be able to deny that education,
without creating in any degree the facul
ties of the human being, stimulates in him
aptitudes, animates in him sentiments,
communicates to him a physical force, an
intellectual power, and a moral strength,
of which he would be almost deprived
without it, or which would always have
remained in a latent state. No one, we
suppose, denies farther the influence of
education upon the mind. It acquires all
except the faculty of acquiring ; that is, the
ability to know and to remember; it ac
quires because it is almost infinitely rich
and sensitive. Education creates not the
mind; it improves it; it teaches how to
use it. The moral sense is developed by
knowledge, by intelligence, by comparison;
yet exercise gives neither prompt memory
nor faculty to him who has not received
them from nature. Warnings and coun
sels do not always inspire abnegation or
devotion in the egotist; gymnastics do not
give the muscles of an athlete to the be
ing who has received only a weakly con
stitution ; but intellectual gymnastics will
increase and will strenthen the memory ;
they will make manifest the intellectual
elements which would have remained hid
den without them. Experience will cor
rect the egotist and wrest him from him
self; physical gymnastics will strengthen
the muscles and make pliant the limbs of
the feeble child. Without these necessary
exercises, without this culture, without this
effort which ought to cause his good quali
ties to rise and oppose themselves to his
ignorance, to his errors, to his faults even,
man would remain a savage, ruled not by
his reason but by his inclinations.
Finally, why separate the intellectual
from the moral faculties? Both are dis
tinct faculties, but all are faculties of the
same intelligence. The human being is a
unit, and his intelhgance is a unit; it is
his intelligence which is endowed with
moral susceptibility ; it diserns good and
evil, right and wrong, as well as the beau
tiful and ugly. Man judges each with his
mind ; what we call reason and conscience
are faculties of the mind, as well as mem
ory, judgment and imagination. These
faculties are diverse, that is all; if some
can be enlarged, others can also.

THE STATE JOURNAL.
THE WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL
Was established at Harrisburg to supply a want
long felt in all parts of the Sthte. -No effort will be
spared to make it an acceptable weekly visitor to
the intelligent families of Pennsylvania. It will
be devoted to Independent Journalism, will defend
and advocate the rights and interests of the people
and will assist every effort to advance the religious
educational, moral and social condition of humani
ty. So long as the Republican party continues to
be, as it now is, more than any other political or
ganization, the enactor and defender of liberal and
impartial laws, the protector of American Labor,
the promoter of American Manufactures, and the
leader in all great reforms, the Journal will advo
cate its principles and defend its policies.
The mining and manufacturing interests of the
State, and the rights of the laboring men employed
therein, shall always find favor in these columns.
National and State measures proposed and enacted
for the protection of American industry will ever
be urged, advocated, and defended. The latest
news, political, commercial, agricultural and social
from all parts of the world, will he published
weekly.
The proceedings of the Legislature throughout
the session will be reported fully and promptly, so
that the readers of the Journal may know what is
transpiring at the State Capital. The Weekly
Journal, like the Daily, is a first-class newspaper,
thoroughly sound in politics, education, temperance
and religion. It is a good agricultural paper, a
good educational paper, a good temperance paper,
a good religious paper, a good family newspaper.
The Journal is published by the "Harrisbnrg
Printing Association," a corporation chartezed by
the Legislature, and composed of gentlemen of am
ple means, whose sole purpose is to publish a first
class newspaper for Pennsylvania. The best talent
and the ablest writers have been employed to con

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part of the lion, surrountied by fat, and con
sisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the In
terior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine
and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a
conductor also. terminating in a single tube, and
called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with
the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: the tipper, the
Lower, the Nervous and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desiae to
urinate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their var
ious functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to effect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
Gory, OR RHECHATIM—Pain occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concretions.
THE Grtevex.—The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone in formed, and gravel ensues.
DROPSY is a collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, according
to the parts affected. vie: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarea ; when of the
abdomen, Ascites ; when of the chest, Ilydrothorax.
TREATMENT.—lfelmbold's highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gout
affections. tinder this head we have arranged
Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges
of water; Strangury, or stopping of water; Remit
turia or bloody urine ; Gout and Rheumatism of
the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was always
highly reeommendee by the late Dr. Physiek, in
these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion,
and excites the absorbents into healty exercise by
which the watery or calcareous depositions, and
all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in
flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by mcn,
women and children. Directions for use and diet
accompany.

If. T. 11E1.31BOLD, Druggist :
Deor have been.a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and have been under the
treatment of the most eminent Physicians, experi
encing little relief. _ _
HaV'ing seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Bnehu.
did this lec 7 cuse I had need- all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well. and determined to use no reme
dies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It
was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it woo composed of huchu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as au excellent combination, and,
with his advice after an examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist, I conclud
ed to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my
room. From the first bottle I was astonished and
gratified at tip beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement might
only be a temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value to yon,
and snore satisfactory to me.
I ant now able to report that a care is effected
after using the remedy for fiive months.
I have not used any new for three months, and
fell as well in all respects, as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor—a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system. I (10 not mean to he without it whenever
occasion may require its UPC in such affections.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructiv
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and safe
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal disease
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Agait
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, an
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly deeds
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on tl
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tube
