most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever
offered to the public.
Those preferring a medicine free from Al

They aro both equally - good, and contain

NOTICE.
It is a well-established fact that fully one
half of the female - portion of our pop

" A Feast or a Famine."
I=
how on 'tis so, In many n home
Where poverty abides,
They're down beneath its iron heel,
Or up with lofty strides.
And what they have to use or spend,
Is done with lavish hand,
And feast as If they thought they owned
The wealth of all the land.
Many a presalng want and need
Must oft go misapplied,
For fits of wild extravagance,
And wastefulness beside.
A feast or famine" is the gage
On which they chose to live,
And think the hand of Providence
Should Just as freely give.
They fret and (unto because the rich
Can spend a!taticklo more,"
And think they should divide with them
A portion of their store.
In lowly homes or poverty.
Pride shows its limping rekty
And says brown bread and kindred things
Were never tit to eat.
New England's grandest, noblest men
Were reared on homely fare,
And women, pure as ocean pearls,
Drew strength and beauty there.
"But what of that•—says lowly born,
"I'll eat the be,,t or none!"
And go In Ignorance and rags,
Through all the years to come.
They set home comforts MI aside
And live 'Mixt want and woe,
And scorn tleword Frugality,
As if it were a foe.
So Luck and Providence are blamed
Instead of self alone,
Ilecause Prosperity will le.l.ve
When thrift Is not at home.

I Want an Office.
ALESSItS, EDITORS :--I Willa an office. I
believe I atn cut out for one, and with my
experience as a pilot in political affairs can
discharge the duties according to the most
approved plan of the day,with all the mod
ern improvements. I ant not an old fogy,
restrained by antiquated notions of sickly
propriety, but go in for the largest liberty
in doing things up brown. lam poor and
seedy, and therefore have a preference.
The rich have enough to do with their
property and their own affitirs without
going into office to meddle with other peo
ples. The poor have nothing to do and till
ing, office is their becoming pastime and
allotted task in this vale of tears. Now, I
urn told that at Harrisburg there is any
number of good fat places that can be had
front Speaker down to Dog Potter in the
Rotunda, with good wages, some of which
puy,whether there is anything to do or not.
I heard of one man who got last year seven
hundred dollars and mileage Its pastor and
folder without being at Harrisburg during
the session,or doing anything except being
tne friend of a very important member. If
nothin - g;liow'muelt will it - pakivhon'a - holly
works? That is a question to be settled by
the rule of three. I would like an office
where one has his iitiiue On the books as
employee and gets full salary for blowing
the hot ti of a member of ei thor House or
praising the government officials. There is
dignity in such a p ,sition. People that see
you under such circumstances think more
of you than your friends at home do. If
you Call make it appear that you are the
lackey of some great numyou will be but
ton-holed, courted and feasted on oysters
and wine for your supposed influence,
which of course you can readily magnify.
They have clerks, assistant clerk.s, trans
cribing clerks, sergeant-at-arms, and hosts
of deputies, door-keepers and assistants,
pasters and folders, runners, lackeys, pan
ders and snuff buyers in such numbers that
almost every member has a waiting man
provided thr him at public expense. Ono
of these posts I would like. It is stated that
every editor by virtue of his paper has
great influence, and I want yon to aid me
if I should have to give you twenty per
cent. of my earnings. I have tried my luck
with the editors in Lancaster, every one of
whom has grown either rich or fat in
large three story house, but I am coolly
told that their several slates are full, and
all appointments at their disposal have
been bespoke at such a high per coinage
that I cannot hope for anything. There
to must appeal to yon, and I beseech
villndy, "help the or I sink."
From certain indications, [ believe that
the coining session will be profitable to the
members. There will boa very sharp con
test for the U. S. Senatorship, and as much
as twenty-five hundred dollars have been
offered for a sia,gle vote. Many thought
the candidate thus liberal world succeed,
but now another appears on the ground
with a larger purse and he can afford to of
fer more. This has driven the first off the
track, conscience-smitten and disgusted,
♦who now upbraids himself because his
purse is not longer and declares that he
thinks it very wrong and a moan business
that anyone should offer or accept pay for
a vote. There 1611 be contests for seats in
one or both Houses. These always pay well
if the contestants are rich and spunky, be
cause you know committees of three or five
are always appointed, and it is sometimes
necessary before a decision can he come
that one party should give's bonus for a de
cision in his favor, and when that is done,
the other party must give a larger amount
for a decision on his side, and then the
claims of each are equal and the Com
mittee men are by this wise arrangement
enabled to see the case in its true light, and
decide honestly and conscientiously. Other
items of legislation will he worked up so as
to give the members an opportunity of
earning their pay and mileage and making
a little something for themselves besides,
because it is really a shameful thing fur
people to suppose that an honest man can
leave his wife, his family, his friends and
his business for the paltry sum of $l,OOO
a session and mileage. and devote his
time, health and talents to the service of
the public, while other men remain at home
making fortunes for themselves and con
tributing nothing but their taxes. A man
in public life must have sonic substantial
return or lie cannot pay oil • his old debts—
buy houses or farms, or start as a partner
in a bunk or indulge in summer trips to the
Springs, and I sin sure that you, like me
are pleased to bee a man double or table
the "taleuts" entrusted to him; and receive
the commendation of well done, good and
faithful servant, make all the money you
can. What say you, will you help me or
not. A VOTER.

Editors
Editors have frequent reasons to be thank
ful for the generosity of their patrons and
the public in the matter of advice. Money
may be scarce. That dreadful disease, ire -
pecuniosity, may have laid hold on a pub
lisher's pocket. Bankruptcy, starvation,
ruin, may stare him rudely in the face,
but, thanks to the good and noble-hearted
public, ho has always on hand a plentiful
and bounteous supply of good advice.
Herein lies the sweetest solace of editoral
life. Haggard with care, oppressed with
trouble, driven by details, worried, wane,
wasted, though the poor devil may be, he
has always the extreme felicity of knowing;
that the poorest, the meanest, the most ig
norant and the most "ornery" of his read
ers will promptly honor his draft at sight
(lir advice.
He has only to draw. No endorses want
ed. What cares he for banks or bankers,
money kings and greenback princes? Let
him draw. Even the ignorant scrub who
spells God with a little "g," is prompt,
quick, active to give his advice. He knows
it all.
But woe to the conceited editor who fails
to take and follow all the advice given him.
lie's a fool. When, unasked, men volun
teer without compensation, to bestow free
ly, gratuitously and bounteously upon him
advice as to bow he should conduct his
paper, what infernal and base ingratitude
not to take it, and bow meekly and hum
bly in gratitude for the favor. We have
heard of editors of this kind, but never
knew one to succeed, for it is well under
stood that every fool that fails at every
thing else, is perfectly competent to con
duct a newspaper. It has always been a
mystery to us how it happens that the
men who are perfectly competent to the
business of journalism are never employed
in it, while the poor devils whom unlucky
fortune has condemned to the tripod freely
admit their incapacity.
There are some peculiarities about the
business of editing not common to any
tithe business. It requires some talent to
make a good boot, and many an ass spent
a whole life at it without succeeding. A.
little practice is thought to
.be necessary
before one can run a steam engine, manage
a ease in court, or even successfully sell
calico. Not so with editing. The less you
know the better, you know. Editors are
born, not made, you .see. Your true fall
tor feels the divine afflatus within him, and
that's the reason lie has such a profound
contempt, you see, for your poor knight of
the quill and scissors whose hard fortune
has condemned hint to the business for a
lif•tiute,
There are some other peculiarities about
editing which make it altogether a funny
business. It is not so much what is in the
paper, as what is net in it, that determines
its value. It makes no difference what you
get into it, but take care what you leave
out. If you fail to insert the seventh com
mandment, some pimp may arrest you for
adultery, and prove it, too, for there's your
paper, and where, oh where, is the Deca
logue? The villain has left it out. We al
ways knew he was a rake.
The aspirant for editorial honors should
remember that, it is not at all necessary he
roougt l 9x,
iilinracter. - -•In tout, the less he has the
ter. , The drayinan may exercise his own
judgment as to whether he feeds his horse
oats, corn or bran, but that would be a
stretch of independence in an editor that
wouhl amount -to downright recklessness.
" We pay hint to sav what we think, not
what he thinks. What business has be to
thick?" Thus thunders iqr. One-Dollar
and-Fifty-Cents-Per-Year, and your devil
ducks his head, for which he has little use,
and don't think any more.
The noblest specimen of manhood our era
affords is that swelling and consequential
individual whose mission is to hector his
village newspaper, and who does it right
pompously. He belongs, it is true, to an
age nearly gone, but he yet exists, a rare
relic of the rural life of other days. Like
the Chimpanzee and the Gorilla, the race is
almost extinct, yet few specimens tire left
to excite the wonder :Lull the admiration of
modern times.

A Spiritual Trick Exposed.
G. N. Jackson, who claims to be a spirit
ual medium, has:created quite 8 sensation in
St. Louis in the tying up business. Ile
was challengeded to an exhibition of his
skill by Hartz, the magician, and on his
first trial succeeded in freeing himself from
his bonds in a few moments, to the great
delight of the spiritualists of that city. On
Friday night last the trial was repeated,
when the gentlemen selected to do him in
sisted upon searching him before commenc
ing 'operations. They found a sharp pen
knife concealed in ono shoo and a coil of
rope wound round his body. His trick con
sisted simply in b"ing tied with a rope
similar to the one he had concealed,and then
confined in his "cabinet" cutting the one
with which he was tied and secreting the
pieces, and substituting for it the ono he
had concealed on his body, which lie exhib
ited to his audience us having been untied
by spirits. When the knife and cord were
taken from him the spirits failed to respond
to his invocations, and he was released
from his "cabinet" bound as securely its
when he went in.

Kerosene.
The error must not prevail, that kerose
oil of legal standard will ignite or burn if a
lamp cantaining it is broken. Good oil,
such as should be used in families, will
extinguish flame when brought in contact
with it. Oil heated to the usual point while
burning in a lainp in the evening, should
extinguish a lighted match when thrust
into it. If the reader should Use in his fain
ily unadulterated kerosene, he may take off
rho cap of the lamp, thrust in a lighted
'taper; he may turn it, out upon the floor,
and apply flame; and it will not take fire
or explode. Standard kerosene, suen as the
law recognizes, is perfccUy safe. • We ‘vish
to state and re-state this fact, as it would be
a great misfortune, especially to the poor,
to have the erroneous idea prevail, that all
kerosene is dangerous. A cheap light is too
great a blessing to be deprived of through
unjust prejudice. It is only the wretched
adulterated oils, the naphtha fluhls, that
are dangerous.
We are almost discouraged in our efforts
to dkplain the nature of the illuminating
fluids, when wo find, as we have during the
past month, a daring, reckless fellow trav
eling through the towns about this city,
selling receipts to make a cheap naphtha
burning liquid. The discouragement does
not arise from the fact that such advent r
res are numerous, and attempt to deceive
the people, but that they so easily succeed
in their evil work. These frauds aro not
practiced upon the uneducated alone, but
upon the learned, the intelligent,—those
who certainly ought not to be ignorant of
the sitnplest filets in science. The recipe
peddler alluded to, succeeded in filching his
dollar from lawyers, clergymen, a judge of
a police court (who instead or patroniZifig
hint, should have issued a w.trrant for his
arrest), and many others who are reckoned
among the ed neat zd classes. Ve have
reason to think the country is full of these
men, and our readers must be on their
guard. Net only their own lives, but those
of their neighbors and friends, are placed in
jeopardy by these frauds.
We repeat, at the request of a new sub
scriber, the test for kerosene, as published
in the Journal some time time ago, Take a
conunon quart bowl ; fill it one-third fall
or boiling stater; now add cold water, a
little at a time, until a thermometer placed
in it indicates a temperature of 110 0 F. A
tablespoonful of the oil to be tested may be I
turned into the water, and stirred about
with the therutomete?. It will float on top,
and it may be touched with :t lighted match
or bit of paper. If it ignites or takes fire,
the oil is dangerous, and the seller can he
prosecuted under the United States law.

The Soldier and the Thistle.
LITT.f.n Minnie, in her eagerness after
flowers, had wounded her hand on a sharp,
prickley thistle. This made her cry with
pain at first, and pont with vexation after
ward.
"I do wish there tvis no such thing as a
thistle in the world," she said pettishly.
"And yet the Scottish nation think so
touch of it, they engrave it on the national
arms," said mother.
"It is the last flower that I should pick
out . ," said Minnie. "I am sure they might
. great many .nitturpßes, even,
among the-weeds."
"But the thistle did them such good ser
vice once," said mother, " they learned to
esteem it very highly. Ono time the Danes
invaded Scotland, and prepared to make
a night attack on :t sleeping garrison. So
t hey erupt along barefooted as still as pus -
slide, until they were atntost up to the spot.
Just at that moment a barefooted soldier
stepped on a great thistl you'd the hurtmade
him utter at sharp cry or pain. Tbe sound
awoke the sleeners, and each Wall sprang
to his arms. They !ought with great bra
very, and the invaders were driven back
with much loss. So you see, the thistle
saved Scotland, and ever since it has been
placed on their seal as their national flower.
" Well, I never suspected that so small a
thing could save at nation," said Minnie,
tlumghtfully.
"God can make use of small things, as
well as great, to UCeol.llplit,li his purpose;
and it is said that very small circumstances
often turn the tide of battle, In the war of
1812 the Brittish fleet were soling in the har
bor of New-London, and it was asked why
they did not destroy the town, when they
could have so easily done it.
`• I Would," replied the commander," if it
had not been fir that formidable long fort
whose gulls commanded the harbor." That
long fort, he then lea: tied, was au old rope
walk, and the manly guns were the small
windows in its side. I presume the New-
London people looked with new eyes on
that old rope-walk. after they learned what
a good service had done.
A Serret orYouth.
There are women who cannot grow old ;
women who, without any special effort,
nre always votimx. and attraetive. Their
number is smaller than it should be, but
there is sufficient numbers to murk the
wide difference between this class and the
other. The secret of this perpetual youth
lies not in the beauty, for some women pos
sess it who are not at all handsome Lnor in
dross, icr they are frequently careless in
in that respect, so Co* as the More arbitrary
dictates of fashion are concerned ; nor in
having nothing to do, for these ever-young
women are always as busy as bees, and it is
very well known that idleness will fret
people into old age and ugliness faster than
overwork. The charm, we imagine, lies in
the sunny temper—neither more or le s s, the
blessed gift of always looking on tile bright
side of life, and of siretching the mantle of
charity over every body's faults and feel
ings. It is not much of a secret but it is all
that we have seen, and we halve watched
such with great interest, and a determina
tion to report truthfully ibr the benefit. of
the sex. It is very provoking that it is
something which can not be be corked up
and sold for fifty cents a bottle. But this is
impossible, and. why the most of us will
have to keep on grow lug old and ugly and

Ashes as a fertilizer aro almost wholly
neglected and allowed to go to waste by our
['twitters. In many instances indeed they
seem to be ignorant of their value, or tr not
ignorant too careless to take the necessary
pains to secure and use them. During the
winter ashes can be collected in large quan
tities, and farmers should do this for the
purpose of sowing them on wheat soil. In
my experience with ashes I have found
them of great value on different grains, but
most valuable when used on wheat.
Ashes are au active fertilizer on wheat, and
even lice bushels per acre will push it for
ward two days ahead of that upon which
none is applied. In some seasons, when
hot and sultry weather prevails about the
time wheat is ripening, a few days gained
is worth half a crop of grjdu.
The ashes strengthen the wheat stem, giv
ing it substance and solidity; and devel
apes the berry quicker and better. Ashes
are also a preventative against rust, and I
have seen the wheat upon which ashes were
sown free from rust while that upon which
none had been sown was rusted close to the
drill row. Savo your ashes and try the ex
periment next season. You will find it to
pay you well to eolleet all the ashes yea
con get. Farmers can afford to pay as
high as twenty cents per bushel fur good un
leached, hard woad ashes for farm use, not
only to put on wheat but on corn, oats and
clover as well. I believe they are the
cheapest manure that the farmer can buy,
as potash enters largely into all the grain
and grasses that are raised. Twenty bush
els can be sown to an acre with the very
best results. Leached ashes are also good
though a larger quantity should be used.
All around us largo quantities both of
leached and unleached ashes go to waste
every year. These should be returned to
the soil. Now is a good time to collect
theta 1111(i I would advise all farmers to do
so and apply them to their
Directions 11)r Dressing Poultry.
First—See that alt poultry is well fattened;
as the difference in price between fat and
poor stock is very great; remember that
you not only get pay for every pound your
poultry gains in fattening, but by improv
ing the quality you gain from one-fourth to
one-half the price on the whole.
In fattening poultry, it is always the best
economy to feed all they will eat. Poultry
fed on corn is yellower and bettor than that
fed on any other grain.
Keen from food before killing a sufficient
length of time, so that the crops will be
nearly or quite empty; as full crops spoil
the appearance, ar•e apt to sour and injure
the sale, buyers will not touch it except at
very low rote:;.
The best mode of killing is by opening the
neck veins, or bleeding in the mouth; let
them bleed thoroughly; after dressing, cut
off the head, draw the skin over the neck
hone and tie neatly. It should never be

boiling hot; dip the poultry in and raise it
out two or three times, so as to scald evenly,
then pick off the quills, feathers and pin
feathers quick us possible, without breaking
the skin ; do not rub them otr, as; it breaks
the thin outside skin, which makes them
turn dark and injures the sale. Immediate
ly after dressing, before it cools, dip it in
clean hot water, hold it but a few seconds,
then dip it suddenly in cold water for a few
seconds (which will give them a plump ap
pearance), then hang Or lay it up to cool
and dry. The intestines or crop should not
be drawn.
The picking of geese and ducks may bo

To COOK A TVICKEV.-AS the holidays aro
approaching, perhaps some ono will have
occasion to try my plan for cooking turkey.
lore it is
After dressing and stuffing the turkey,
put in a boiler, water to cover the bottom,
and u basin to put the turkey on. Lay it on
the back, not letting the water reach it.
Cover the boiler, and steam ' two hours.
Roast an hour. Boil liver, gizatard and heart
in this water ; then chop lino and put it into
the gravy. Pour the water from the boiler
into the roastpan, to baste the turkey with.
The "toughest old customer" cannot but
be tender, it - cooked in tnis way.
BUCK \\* II EAT CAK ES.--Eyerybody knows
pretty well bow to bake buckwheat cakes,
:Still there may be hints given which facili
tate the business or improve the mode in
sonic degree. To avoid the steam or smell
of grease in the common mode of baking,
soapstone griddles have been introduced in
many place ; but we see that term griddles,
first washed with saving suds, and then
scoured with dry sun will rendergreasing
wholly unnecessary if rubbed with salt pre
viously to the baking of each cake. Atrial,
our authority says, will make all adopt it
an preference to the old mode of greasing
laid steaming.
