DIGESTIVE, FLUID,
OR, GASTRIC JUICE.
Prepared from Rennet, or the fourth
stomach of the ox, after direetiOns of Baron
Liehig, thegreat Physiological Chemist, by J. 8.
Houghton, M. 1). Philadelphia, Pa.
This is a traly womlerthl reincdy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Consti
pation, anti Debility, Curing after Nature's own
method, by Nature's owl'. Agent, the Gastric
Juice.

PEPSIN is the chief element, or Grca Digest
ing Principle of the Gastric Juice—the Solvent o
the Food, the Parifi/ing, Preserving, and Slimulal
ling Agent of the :Stomach and Intestines. It,
is extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the
Ox, thus forming en Artificial Agestive Fluid,'
precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in its'
Chemical powers, and furnishing a Complete and
Perfect Substitute for it. By the aid of this
preparation, the pains and evils of Indigestion and
Dyspepsia are removed, just as they would he by
a healthy Stumm:h. It is doing wonders fur Dys
peptics, curing cases of Debility. Eiriaciation, Ner
vous Decline, and Dyspeptic Consumption, sup
posed to be on the verge of thegrave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which it is based, is in
the highest degree Curious and Remarkable.
SC I ENTFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LEMIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial
live Field, analogous to the Gastric Juice, nmv
be readily prepared from the meat and egg!, will •
be softened, changed, and digested, jnst m the
wee manner' as rimy :would be is the Lqiitas
fitomach."
Dr. COMBE, in his valuable writings on the
"Physiology of Digestion," ohserves that "a
tniiikution of the due quantity or the Gastric
Jui, 14 a prominent 0101 all-prevailing ,cause of
Dy , pepsia;" and he states that " a ditiognished
prol'e:ser of melieine in London, who was severe
ly :tailed with this complaint, finding' everything
else to rail, had remorse to the Gastric Juice, ob
tained from the stomachs or living animals, which
proved completly smeessrul."
-
Dr. GRAHAM, anther of the 'famous works
on "Vegetable Diet„" says : "It is a remarkable
fart in physiology, that the rtinnachs of annuals,
macerated in water, impart to the fluid the prop
erty of dissolving carrot: urtielc> of food, and of
effecting at kind of nrtiiint. I digestion of them in

Take Care of 3 our Spare Moments.
A loan, awkward boy came one morning
to the door of the principal of a celebrated
sc'hool, and asked to see him. The ser
vant eyed his mean clothes, and thinking
he looked more like a beggar than any
thing else, told him to go around to the
kitchen. The boy did ns he was bidden,
and soonappeared' at the back door.
sohOtild like to see Mr.-," said
"You want a breakfast, snore like," said
tho servant girl, "and I can give you that
without troubling hint."
"Thank you," said the boy; "I should
have no objections to .a . bit of bread; .but I
should like to see if he can see
we."
"Some old clothes, may be, you want,"
remarked the servant, again eyeing the
boy's patched trousers. "I guess he has
none to•srarc; he gives away a sight;" and
withoqi minding the boy's request she went
away out her work.
. _
647 an I see Mr.---1" again asked the
boY,afterfinishing his bread and butter.
he's in the library; if ho must be
disturbed, he .must; but ho does like to be
alone sometimes," said the girl, in a peev
ish tone. She scented to think it very fool
ish to admit such an ill-looking fellow into
her mastt.r's presence; however, she wip
,
oil her hands, and bade him follow. Open
ing the library door, she said .
"Here's somebody, sir, who is dreadful
ly anxious to see.you, and so I let him in."
I don't know how the boy introduced
himself, or how he opened his business;
but I know that after talking a while, the
principal put aside the volume which he
was studying, and took up some Greek
books mid gaa to examine the new coin
er. 'The examination lasted some time.—
.Every question which the principal asked,
the boy answered as readily as could be.
"Upon my word,'' exclaimed the prin
cipal, "you certainly do well !" looking
at theluoy front head to foot over his spec
tacles. "Why, lily boy, where did you
pick up so much ?"
"betty spare moments," answered the
boy.
Here he was, poor, hard-working, with
but few opportunities for schooling, yet al
most fitted for college, by simply improving,'
his spare moments. Truly, are not spare
moments the "gold dust of time I" Hew
precious they
.should be ! What account
can you give of your spare moments ?
What can you show for them l Look and
see. This boy can tell you how very
much can be laid up by improving them;
and there aro many, many other boys, I
am afraid, in the jail, in the house of cor
rection, in the forecastle of a whale ship,
in the gambling house, or in the tippling
shop, who, if you should ask them when
they began their sinful courses, might an
swer, "In my spare moments." "In my
spare moments I gambled for marbles
"In my spare moments I began to smoke
and drink." "It was in my spare moments
that I began to steal chestnuts front the
old woman's stand." "lt was in my spare
moments that I gathered with wicked as
sociates."
Oh, be very, very careful how you
spend your spare moments ! Temptation
always hunts yen out in Small seasons like
these, when you are not busy; ho gets into
your hearts, if ho pcissibly can, in just
such gaps. There lie hides himself, plan
ning all sorts of mischief. Take care of
your spare inotnents.--mrs. a. C. Knight.

You pay for. transportation of the cob to

.\ •) 4 11 It:
WIFE.
The word wife does not, in our opinion,
simply mean, as‘Valker has it, "a woman!
that. has a husband," forsonie women have
husbands, and good ones. too, who are not !
v ices according to our understanding of
the term.. Wife does not mean a woman:
nor a lady only nor a slave, nor a mistress,
amother nor a nurse, a teacher nor a com
panion,
a tool nor a plaything, but she is
all these united together per my et per ,
tout, in ono beautiful and harmonious,
wild°. In society she is a woman, iu the;
parlor a lady, in the nursery a ace in'
the dining room a mistress, in her elant-I
ber a mother, in the sick room a nurse, to
her children a teacher, to her husband a
companion and an equal.
The office of a wife, therefore, is the:
happiest, yet most laborious, the highest, I :
yet most humble position that frail mor
tality can occupy. Ner is there any sta
tion on earth to which the "Lord of crea
tion" can aspire, the duties of which are
score responsible, and the faithful or it;-
perfect discharge of which will be reward
ed with more intensity, than those of the!
wife, which we believe to be one of the:
: consequences of a violation of the high
trusts committed to the first wife in the
garden of Eden, that she should be "an'
help niece to Adam."
To society.shc is an indispensable mem- •
ber. To the parlor the. most important
personage, in the nursery the most abject.
slave, in the dining room the most absolute
sovereign, in' her chamber a guardian an
gel, in the sidle room the best physician,
to her children the wisest priest, and to
her husband the most • valuable agent, the
dearest and cheapest counsellor, the, most
loved and loving companion, in a word,
"the wife to home" is every blessing the
Mortal mind can conceive' or heart desire.
Home without a wife is a "strange land,"
a head without brains a heart without a
conscience, a ship without sails, an ocean

"If it hadn't been for Mr. Christopher
Columbus,"' said Snubbsi "General Wash
ington wouldn't have been horn—but sup
pose ho had what then! What did Wash
ington ever do that was a great benefit to
his country/, There is much said about
his talents for war. To be sure he perfor
med several, masterly retreats, but what's
that evidence of? Sir, it is that he.was a
,Coward.".
"General Washington a coward?" screa
med Foster, the 'dined doctor in a voice of
thunder. "General Washington a coward!,
who so base as dare say it? Look at hint
at the battle of the Nile, look at him at
Waterloo, the Cowpens, on the Plains of
Maranthon, at the Pyramids, at Stillman's
Defeat, at Bad Axe; and, sir, look at him
at the battle of New Orleans?"
"General Wzmhington at the battle of
Now Orleans?" exclaimed a huge back
woodsman, gesticulating violently. "Mr.
Speaker, is there such a ignoranious in the
house? Sir, any school-boy knows that
the battle .of New Orleans was fit before
General Washington was born. Let the
gentleman read l'lntarch's lives, the lives
of the Signors of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, or lot him read Arkwright,s
History of the Black Hawk War, and he'll
find that Gen. Mnry Dolge fit Mc battle

PERSONAL ArrrArtArcr Cr Ii , ,SFrTIT,
—The best pen and ink ,I:etch of the Gov
ernor of Hungary wo have yet seen, is
given by our friend Col. PULLER of the
! New York Mirror. Be says his appear
ance is more pleasing and less impressive
than his portraits represent. He is rather
small in stature, slight in figure, with a re
markably fine, head and still finer eye. Ms
forehead is very full, round and high; and
: particularly well developed in the regions
of ideality and benevolence. Ills hair is
dark and full, and Lis whiskers and mous
' tache quite conceal the expession of the
mouth—an object more desirable in diplo
i macY than in oratory. It is the large
mild eye and benignant smile that beams
upon his brow, like the sunshine en the
mountain, combined with the sympathetic •
i tones of voice throbbing with emotion,
which captivates & magnetizes his hearers, •
exalting them by a sort of musical, moral,
and spiritual inspiration—the' delightful
and almost delirious effect of true elo
quence. Kossum speaks at the 'same
time to the eye, to the ear, to the intel
-1 lest, and to the heart. As an orator. ho
I,stands in the foremost rank of 'all the
iCiccros. As a Revolutionist and a Re
, I former, he has had no equal in the power
Ihe exerts upon the masses, since the daps
of the , Prophets. Ile seems to combine
in himself a portion of the elements of

than either. As a patriot, a soldier, and

Iron and Steel.
Steel is iron passed through a process
which is called cementation, the chject of
which is to impregnate it with carbon.- -
Carbon exists more abundantly•in charcoal
than in any other fusible substance, and
the smoke that goes up from a charcoal
forgo is carbon in a fluid state.
Now if You can Manage to' confine that
smoke, and Mit a piece of iron it for'
several days, and heat the iron a* the
sante time, and it will become steel.- • Heat
ing iron opens it so that smoke or carbon
can enter into it.
Tho furnace for this purpose is a coni
cal building of brick, in the middle of
which are two small brick or stone troughs!
which hold about four tons of iron. At
the bottom is a large grate for the fire.—
A layer of charcoal dust is put upon the
bottom of the troughs, then a layer of bar
iron:. and so on alternately, 'until the
troughs are full. They are then covered
with clay to keep out the air, which, if nd-.
initted, would prevent cementation. Fire'
is then communicated to the wood and coal
with which the furnace is filled, and con
tinned until the conNerting iron into steel is'
completed, which •generally happens in
about eight or ten days. This is known
by blisters on the bars, which the work
men occasionally draw out in order to de
termine. When the conversion is comple
ted the fire is then left to go out and. the
bars remain in the furnace about eight days
!Sore to cool.
The bars of steel are then taken ont 7
and then either sold as blistered steel, et
drawn tea convenient size, when it is call
ed. titled steel. German steel is made out
of this blistered steel, breaking the bars
;into short pieces and welding them togeth
er, drawing them down to a proper size.
