?C 23nf0flot'o lament.
Oh, would I had a girl to love,
To share those happy hours
My Miss to crown, while she would prove,
The fairest of life's flowers;
JVo more I'd crave, if this light heart
A womant8 worth might know;
And pure affection's prircelcs3 gem
The light of love would show.
I'm weary of a single life,
Though all its joys nre mine,
There's scarce a pleasure now possessed,
But mfeht be made divine.
If I could claim a "better half."
And need no longer rove
To find the prize my heart desires
.A gentle girl to love!
Now, maidens fair, (not yet bespoke,)
"Why should 1 longer tarry!
I'm twenty-four years old next month,
And am resolved to marry!
So if among you beats a heart,
"Which might with mine accord,
Oh, do not let this leave you so,
But haste to send mc word.
And that will be a happy day,
The day I claim my belle!
And that will be a happy theme.
On which . we both may dwell,
And I will be a happy man,
When her sweet smiles I more;
And she shall be a hafpy girl
She shall the girl I love.
From the American Farmer.
Summer Management or Sheep.
In a former number we noticed the ad
mirable work, entitled, the "American
Shepherd" by L. A. Morrell, and
premise! to recur to it ajjain.
This
we do now the Book has confirmed us in
our former opinion that, taken as a whole,
it is the best one ever published for the
uses and purposes of those of the Amer
ican sheep breeders, who may cither be
engaged in the business, or intend to em
bark in it. The very intelligent author
has not only availed himself, in the com
pilation and writing of his work, of the
lights reflected by European authors, but
has done so with regard to some of the
most extensive wool growers in America,
thus laying before his readers a mass of
the most invaluable information, so col
lected and arranged as to be presented in
the most intelligible form. Superadded
to these sources of information, he has
thrown in the results of his own great
experience. Thus, as it were; placing
before the public eye, that which his
judgment approves, and rejecting that
which is not adapted to the habits and
condition of the people of our own coun
try. In separating, as he has done, the
chaff from the wheat, and retaining noth
ing but what can be rendered practically
useful; Mr. Morrell has rendered a most
acceptable service to the Agricultural pub
lic, and entitled his Book to a place in
every farmer and planter's Library. To
the man who makes Sheep-raising a pri
mary object on his estate to him who
makes wool his money-crop; we look
upon the purchase of the "American
Shepherd," as an indispensable pre-re-quisite
to success, and therefore commend
the publication to the patronage of the
whole agricultural community.
In what we arc about to abstract from
the work we shall use brevity, contenting
ourselves with stating the substance of
each chapter sufficiently clear, however,
in our own language, to be undcrsteod.
Change from Dry to Green Food.
Sheep which may have been confined in
yards or sheds upon hay or fodder,
through the winter, should not be sud
denly turned to grass in the spring; but'
it is better to suffer them to graze for an
ft mm .
hour er two daily for a week first du
ring which perio'd they ahould be fed du
ring the residue cf the day upon good
Kay and a small portion of grain. "With
those u ho have had regular supplies of
roots, through the winter, the d-nger of
xuniuig them to grass in the
greatly reduced.

Separating the weak from the strong.
The weak should be separated from
the strong Sheep the ewes about to
yean, and the yearlings particularly re
quire this attention, and should be put up
on the best feed and pasture to brin- them
up in condition.
Tagging tf Sheep. Before being
turned to pasture in the spring, sheep
should undergo the operation of being
tagged which consists in clipping ofl lhe
wool from about and below the dock and
from between the thighs. This precau
tion avoids that accumulation of filth in
these regions, and prevent the aaimil
from being fly-blown, as it protect it a
rainst soreness and ulceration.
Cutting dorm and Hoofs. At the
time of tagging, should they require it,
the horns of the sheep should bs cut and
their hoofs paired.
Drafting for the Butcher. Such
sheep $ may be intended to be sold to
the butcher, should be selected in spring;
and put into the best pasture, in order
that they may be put in good condition at
the earliest period.
Lambing. Time of parturition to be
determined bv climate and circumstances.
In the northern and middle states, the
. T 1 1 -L .

eligible. Where houses ate provided, an
earlier period may answer.
Ewes in lamb should be disturbed as
little as possible, and care' paid to their
food. Its quality should be good, and
given in such quantity as to keep them in
good condition without making them fat,
as that state is injurious, and sometimes
induces abortion. They should be kept
during winter and early spring exempt
from storm and cold.
Saltinr. Attention must be paid to
salting the sheep, and especially after be
ing turned to pasture. The plentiful use
of salt is found to be a preventive
of the Lirer-root and scouring. Two
quarts to the 100 sheep, once a week, it
is stated as about the proper quantity.
They may be either salted on the ground
or in troughs.
I fashing. The operation of washing
should not be performed until both the
We are anxious that this opinion
which i, w believe, the opinion of the
great bulk of the people of this country
may le known in America while there is
yet time for it to influence the decision of
si momentous question. Englishmen of
all ranks eludes, and parties desire peace

be at hand.
A rnnning stream with a gravelly bot
tom is perhaps the best and most econom
ical place. Where there is no such stream
at hand Mr. Morrell recommends a vat
made of two inch pine plank, held to
gether by three inch oak gripes. The
one he uses is about 9 feet long, 4 1-2
feet wide, and 3 1-2 feet deep. The
troughs which conduct the water to it are
about 18 inches above the level of the top
of the vat.
On one side of the vat is a permanent
platform made of stone and floored with
plank, the surface having a gentle incli
nation towards the vat, on which the
sheep are held for a minute or more, sfter
being washed, that the water may drain
from the fleece.
Beside the vat (not in it) andupon the
platform stands one of the washers, and a
temporary staging on the opposite side
accommodates another. One man is cm
ployed to bring the sheep from a small
pond close at hand, and put them into the
vat, in which two are held at a time by
another at the lower end, for two or three
minutes, with a"view to soften the dirt.
.The washers then take them, and each
holds one under the troughs or spouts,
turning them in every position to receive
the full benefit from the fall of the water,
which proceeds with such force as to dis
lodge the dirt rapidly, and in a much
briefer time than it can be done by squee
zing will be necessary, except, perhaps,
the belly and thigh wool. As soon as
the sheep held by the man for soaking
pass from his hands to the washers, he is
immediately supplied with others; and
thus while two arc soaking, two others
are being washed under the spouts. One
end of the vat being set a little below a
level, the dirt passes freely off, and con
sequently the water is comparatively pure,
the good effects of which will be seen in
the almost cotton whiteness of the inner
portion of the fleece. As to eradicating
all the dirt from the external surfaee of
wool when upon the sbeep, it is not ex
pected, for it is impossible to accomplish
it; and therefore it must be left to the
cleansing process of the manufacturer.
Soap may be advantageously used in the
process of washing.
After the sheep have been washed, thev
should be turned upon a thickly covered
sward, that no dirt may collect on the
fleeces before they arc shorn. Driving
along dusty roads after beingjwashedmust
be avoided.
THE BIBLE IX CHINA.
In confirmation of former intelligence,
a correspondent of the Bible society
writes from India: On the 7th of last
June, a dinner was given, by the East
India Company. Sir Henry Pottinger
was present, and among other things,
slated that lie had perused a late edict by
the Emperor of China wherein the Em
peror informs his subjects that he had
heard read to him extracts from a book
entitled the Holy Scriptures the pur
port of which appeared to him to be re-
plete with virtuous precepts; and as such
likely to do good; that it was a book of
virtue, and with this conviction, he rec
ommended it to the perusal of his people,&
gave them permission to read it, and act
agreeably to their own desires."
The sitting of the House of Repre
sentatives was signalized by a decision
cf a case of contested election from New
Jersey in favor or John Runk, the sitting
member, (a Whig.) This, considering
the usual influence of party feeling in the
decision of questions of this character,
(which party feeling ought never to be al
lowed to influence,) is a remarkable in
stance of the triumph of right. It is
not less remarkable that it was determin
ed by the casting vote of the Speaker of
die House, who has done himself honor
by the rectitude and independence which
he manifested on this occasion. Nat.

HOTEL Fon iff V A LIDS
AT PITTSBURGH.
!Drs, Speer and Kuhn.
THE object of this establishment is
to supply a want greatly felt by re
spectable travellers on our western high
ways by residents, without family, ta
ken sick and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to ih is place for relief Irom surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from lhe want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careless and un
faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atten
dance, snd at a rate much below the usu
al charges.
While the care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches of his profession
he has given a large share of his atten
ion for the last twenty-five years, and
he will continue to devote to them, the
experience acquired by a constant prac
tice during that time.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper
iment. Its establishment is suggested
not only as necessary to supply an evi
dent want in this city, in ibe entire ab
sence of any special provision for the
sick, but is warranted also by thesucress
of similar institutions at Cincinnati and
New Orleans the former under lhe care
of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Strader
the latter under that of Dr. Stone.
The building selected for the purpose
is situated at the corner of Federa and
Robinson streets, in Allegheny city, ad
joining the city of Pittsburgh. It is
commodious and roomy, anJ "furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
the sick.
Applications for admission to be made

a view to lessen the amount of human sufTerin-.
Aware of the fact that many useless nostrums
have been palmed upon the public, he hesitafej
for several yesrs until thoroughly convinced I hat
the aliove medicine, if properly used, would not
fail to effect cures in a great many instances, ami
even to alleviate those cases which are quite incu
rable.
Symptoms ff a diseased Liver. Pain in th
right side, under the edge of the rib, increased
on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side;
sometimes tha pain is felt under the shoulde
bladc, it frequency citends to the top of the shoul
der, and is sometimes mistaken for a rheumatism
in the right arm. The stomach is affected witti
loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels, in gen
ral, are costive, sometimes altering with lax. the
head :s troubled with pain, accompanied with a
dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of memory, accom
panied with a painful sensation of haviny f left
undone something which ought to have been
done. A slight dry cough is sometimes an atten
dant. The patient complains of weariness end
debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation,
of the scm; his spirits are low; and although ha
is satisfied that exercise would be bencficfal to
him, yet ho can scarcely summon up fortituda
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every re
medy. Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred where few of
them existed, yet examination of the body after
death has shown the liver to have been extensive
ly deranged.
CERTIFICATES.
This is to certify, thnt having been associated
with Dr. M'Lane in the practice of medicine for
nearly two and a half years, I have had many
opportunities of witnessing the good effects of
his Liver Pills, and I believe they have cured anJ
relieved a much larger proportion of the disease
of tho liver, than I have known cured and re
lieved by any other course of treatment.

Some two months ago I purchased a vial rf Dr
M'Lanes American Worm Specific. I gaveM boy
of mine most of a vial; ho passed fortv very
large worm. From that time his health'impro
ved very much. I had tried two other Vcrmifugee
to no purpose. I believe Dr, M'Lane's the best
article before the public. D. CALHOUN.
