MISCELLANEOUS.
The Tanner's Life.
We take pleasure in presenting our
readers with the following excellent re
marks from the New York Farmer and
Mechanic, on the " Dignity and pleasure
of Agriculture" :
There is a moral dignity in the pur
suit of agriculture. True, it is toilsome;
but what gainful pursuit is not 1 There
are few merchants or professional men
who would not at times willingly ex
change their burdens, their cares or
anxieties, for following the plough or
other labor connected with farming.—
The young man who fancies there is so
much of leisure, and aristocracy in trade
and the professions, and so much drudg
ery in farming, knows less of human
life than he will be likely to learn if he
lives to middle age. But, while the la
boring people usually attain greater lon
gevity than men of leisure, their exer
cise may be considered as conducive to
health, and hence to happiness. In labor
itself, there is nothing degrading to the
best feelings of our nature. It is only
a vitiated artificial public sentiment,
that can induce painful sensibility in
view of the necessity for industry, which
the wants of life impose.
It is not the objects thrown around
the farmer, the woods and streams, and
fields arrayed in green, that make all
the charms of his life ; for, while he
subdues the soil, and fits it for 1)s pur
poses, and scatters the seed o n the fur
rows, the progress of v eg wation and the
ample harvest are in hio mind, as the re
flection at night the. the day has been
devoted to useful.ess, prepares him for
peaceful rest. Dien there is a practical
independen.e enjoyed in the feelings of
the farm', when he gathers the golden
harve•t, and partakes of the fruit of his
He este hie own lamb, hie own chickens and ham,
He sheer. his own fleece, and he wears it."
Agriculture has in all ages been es
teemed the true associate of nobility.—
Virgil wrote its praise, and the greatest
statesman of the Roman Empire made
the following of the plough an indication
of his conscious dignity and an example
of his most sterling virtue. Later, du
ring the middle ages, the possession of
land was a necessary appendage to no
bility. George Washington was a far
mer, and all the Ex-Presidents of the
United States, with perhaps a single ex
ception, have found the honor of their
retirement in farming estates and their
cultivation.
A Goon ONE.—If you would laugh,
reader, to your heart's content and per
fect satisfaction, read the following ex
tract from a letter dated Saltillo:
Near a pretty village, called Seguin,
a few of us fell in with an odd fish, en
joying a Colonel's commission. He has
a strange habit of using the longest
words, and invariably misapplying them;
for instance, (he wished to sell us some'
lets.) "Buy here, gentlemen, if you
wish to make fortunes ; here's the loca- !
tion for a magnanimous city ; we're at
the foot of navigation. Next year I'll
put lip a lawyer's fixins, a pothecary's
doins, and a blacksmith's institution,
and afterwards a regular cimetary,
where all the folks from the circum-jas
per counties will send in their boys and
girls of both sexes to be McAdamized
into a college education. Then I'll in
struct a meetin-house, and the stores
and taverns will spring up, in course.
1 can't do this till next year, 'cos I havn't
got hard cash enough yet, and I'll have
nothing to do with the darned blank bills;
let a man offer me one, and if I don't
make a sacrament of him d—n me.
Do you see that well 1 put a pump
handle into it, and fix an anecdote to
fetch the water through all the meander
ing and turpentine walks in my sass
garding, and the effects of the arrogtion
will be such that the very air will be
polluted with the oderiferous execra
tions protruding from the flowers--(if
I'm an accoucher in anything, it's in
flowers)----I'll put up a diarrhaa in the
middle of 'em, for my women folks to
store the milk and butter, &c., and then
run a condition through my house, and
provision it on; but I'll run up a real edi
fice next year, and clap a cronology on
the top, no that the ladies and gentle
men may look at the stars and milky
way through a horoscope that I'll ex
port from Galveston. I can't do it all
at once, as my wonted folks arc growing
up, and getting more and more costive
and expensive on me every year. Come
in, gentlemen—let us liquor."
A TEMPERANCE STORY.—TWO young
men, " with a humming in their heads,"
retired late one night to their room in a
crowded inn, in which as they enter is
revealed two beds; but the wind extin
guished the light; they both, instead of
taking, as they supposed, a bed apiece,
got back to back in one, which began to
sink under them, and come around at in
tervals, in a manner very circumambi.
ent, but quite impossib% of explanation.
Presently one observed to the other— 1 Ila rd iv is re, Cutlery,

R.LE Roy's
Veaciable I.llolVlrt,al
The only known Ofedicitze that at the same
time purges, purifies and strengthens
the system.
LONDON, July 7, 1846.
TAR. LE ROY'S Pills are a new medicine which
I) has just appeared, and is fast taking the places
dull others of the same class. 'These pills are
composed of malty ingredients, but the two princi
pal ones are Sarsaparilla and Wild (.teeny, so uni
ted that they act together; the one, through its
admix ure with other substances, purifying and
purging, while the other is strengthening the sys
tem. Thus those pills ore at the same time tonic
aril opening; a desideratum lung and eagerly
sought for by medical men, but never before dls
cowered. In other words they do the work of two
medicines, and du it much better than any two we
know of; for they remove nothing from the system
but the impurities ; so that while they purge they
sttengthen; and hence they cause no debilitation,
and are follow, dby no reaction. Dr. Le Itoy's '
pills have a wonderful influence r n the blood ; they
not only purify without weakening it. but they re
move all noxious particles from the chyle before it
is converted into fluid, and thus make impure
blood an utter impossibility. As there is nu debil
itation, so there is no nausea or sickness attending
Ile operations of this most excellent of medicine.,
which never strains or torturer the digestive fune
tions, hut eauses them to work inn perfectly natur
al manner; and hence persons taking them do not
become pale and emaciated, but the contrary; for
while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united
as it is with other ingredients, to remove all that is
foreign and impure, it is equally the property of
the Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural and
sound; and hence a robust state of health is the
certain result of their united operations.

THE attention of Stove Dealers in thin place la
invited to our assortment of Cooking, Parlor,

Cooking Stove,
As the best cooking apparatus ever invented, it har
ing obtained a c(lebrity, wherever it has been intro
duced, never before attained by any Cooking Stove.
The operation of baking being performed in thia
stove by hot Air, instead of heat rediated from the
oven plates, renders it equal for baking to a Brick
Oven, or to the Tin oven for roasting; making it
unnecessary to turn or change the article while
cooking, and removing all liability to burn. IA e
are desirous to have the Stove introduced in this
market, and to that end. liberal terms will he given
to a responsible dealer, willing to take bold of them,
and only one will be permitted to sell them in hoe
place.

For the removal and permanent cure of all dis

and habit of the body, viz: Chronic affections of

arising from debility, Mercurial and hereditary p,;-
dispositions, Stc.
b• It is now admitted by Pathologists, that no
original temperament, complexion, constitution, or
form of body, confers complete immunity from Her
editary diseases; that scrofula, consumption and
other affections having a similarity of origin occur
in all although observation convinces us, that in
dividuals and families, possessing certain character
istics are more frequently the subject of these mal
adies than others. These diseases are a morbid con
dition of the whole system of nutrition—these pro
ducts being but the effects of an alteration of the
Blood and ecrerions,—the ulcers, abuses, enlarged
glauds, iifflamations, c., being ninety attendant
phenomena. The cause exists prior to the phenom
ena, and must be destroyed before perfect health
can !reestablished. This may be done by Dr. Kel
ler's Vegetable Panacea, the most certain remedy
for all diseases arising fin an impure state of the
blood and system of nutrition, ever presented to
the notice of the afflicted.
