"jtunning in Debt."
A large majority, probably five-sixth, ot
the farmers of this country owo part of the
pnrchaso money for their farms, which are
mortgaged as security for its payment. 1 his
is deplored by many as an almost unmiti
gated evil, and tliey are very fluent in ex
patiating upon the evils which they believe
are inseparable from such a state of things.
They represent the debtor as under an op
pressive bondage that cripples his energies,
deters him from making needed improve
ments, and compels him to toil year after
yoar, perhaps lor a lifetime, for the benefit
of the creditor, who is unfrequently pictured
as a grasping, unrelenting, soul-less being
Undoubtedly many have unwisely encum
bered themselves 100 heavily, and others,
lacking energy, are hearing as a burden
what they might make a stopping stone to
competence. The complaints ol such have
led some lo conclude that debt is an evil in
which no farmer should become involved.
But, although it might indeed be every
way easier and more agreeable for each lo
own his farm free and unincumbered—not
one in a thousand can ever enter this hap
py experience without the previous purga
tory, as some term it, of years of debt. The
capital necessary to acquire a farm, is sel
dom, accumulated by the single exertions
of the man with only his pair of hands.—
Acquiring such a possession may bo com
pared to laying siege to a fortified town.
The assailants can hardly hope lo silence
all batteries and effect the capture by ono
effort. They strivo first to make a breach,
to gain fooling in some important point,
from which the after operations can be con
ducted to finally reduce iho whole place.
So with the young man who has a compe
tence to conquer by his unaided efforts. He
must first effect a lodgment upon the des
ired premises, an J then if behave skill and
energy lie makes the farm assist in securing
his possession. Stock, burning nlciisils
and appliances, which would require all Ins
rmall capital il purchased at once, can be
acquired gradually while on the farm.
Rut there is another positive advantage in
debt under such circumstances which should
not bo overlooked, it keeps continually be
fore a man an object to be attained. The
recollection that interest day is coming and
that payments must be met in a stimulus
that overcomes the temptation to many an
idle hour, calls out the best energy, quick
ens ingenuity, and promotes economy A
largo plaster ol debt, well put on, would be
a capital application lo many a man that is
now good for very little, not feeling compel
led lo work. No doubt a man might do as
much, when free from debt, but will he us
ually ? The man settles upon Ihe place lie
is striving lo secure, is battling for his homo,
every dollar he pays towards it, is a nail
driven to secure its possession to himself
and family, and this, if anything, will
"bring him out.''— Am. Agr.
SINGULAR PHYSIOI.OGIAL FACT.— The trans
lerence of vitality which appears to take
plae when young persons are habitually!
placed in contact with the aged is no nurs
ery fiction. It is well attested by very com
petent authorities. " A not uncommon
cause," observes Dr. Copeland, "ofdepres- ;
sod vitai power, is the young sleeping with !
the aged. This fact, however, explained, I
has been long remarked, and it is well !
known to every unprejudiced observer. 1 ■
have 011 several occasions, met the coun
terpart of the following case : I was a few j
years ago consulted, about a sickly and ■
thin boy, of about four or five years of age. |
lie appeared to have no specific ailment, I
but there was a slow and remarkable de
clino of flesh and strength, and of the ener
gy or the functions ; what his mother very
aptly termed a gradual blight. After inqui
ry into the history ot the case, it came out
that he had been a very robust and plethor- |
ie child, up to his third year, when his
grand-mother, a very aged person, took him ]
to sleepwith her; that he soon afterwards lost
his good looks, and that he continued to !
decline progressively ever since, nolwith
standing medical treatment. 1 directed him
to sleep apart from the aged parent, and
prescribed gentle tonics, change of air, &c.
The recovery was rapid. But it is not in
children only that debility is induced by
this mode of abstracting vital power. Young
females married to very old men, sufler in
similar manner although scldom'to so groat
an extent; and instances have come to my
knowledge where they have suspected the
cause of this debilitated state. These facts
are often well known to the agc4 them
selves, who consider the indulgence favora
ble to longevity, and thereby illustrate the
selfishness which, in some persons, increa
ses with their years. Every medical prac
titioner is well uwaro of the fact, and par
cuts arc generally advised not to allow
their infants to sleep with aged persons."
A SHOWER OF SNAKES.— The Detroit Tri
bune says that immediately after a groat
shower last week, a gentleman residing in
that city, on walking about his premises,
discovered a large number of striped or
garter snakes, averaging about six inches in
length. Some of them were on the front
porch, four feet from the ground, and some
on the kitchen door steps. He commenced
killing the reptiles until ho had dispatched
forty-seven by actual count. His neighbors
also killed quite a large number, and the
finding of the "snaix" continued four or
fivo days.
SELECT SEED CORN THIS MONTH.— Tho best
seed will bo likely to produce the best crops
next year. Pass through the corn field this
month and solect the fullest and most for
ward ears, and in some way mark the hills,
as soon as sufficiently ripened they should
be gathered, braidod together by the husks
into "traces," and hung in a dry place If
this plan is followed up, there will be an
improvement in the quality, qantity, and
early maturity, other processes of
cultivation ate properly attended to.

Scrofula, or King's Evil,
is a constitutional disctOe, n corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being fn the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No orgnn is free
from its attacks, nor is there ono which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation Indeed,
it scorns to bo the rod of Him who edys, " I
will visit the iniquities of the futlicrs upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, ixi
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in tho glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of tho consumption whloh de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous f
their persons arc invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine wc supply in
AYER'S
Compound Extract Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remcdials tliat have
been discovered for tho expurgation of tliis foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescuo of tho
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for tho cure of
not only scrofula, but also tlioso other affec
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPTIVB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIBB,
ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, PUSTULES,
BLOTCHES, PLAINS and BOILS, TUMORS,TBTT*U
and SALT lIUEUM, SCALD HP.AD, RINOWORM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC and MF.ncuitiAL DIS
EASES, DBOPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITIA
TED OR IMPURR BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impurity of the blood" is founded in truth,
tor scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO.
arc so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
Eain or physical debility is astonished to find his
ealth or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the cvery-day complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangcrouß diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costive
ncsi, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, I'ain in and Morbid
Inaction of the lioiccls, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions. ,
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
FOR TUB RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, lironchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease-
So wide is the field of its usefulness end so nu
merous arc the cases of its cures, that ahnoßt
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues arc known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for tho distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
bo forgotten.
