Scrofula, or King's Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole hotly, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it mny
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
nod 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 tidal and fonrtL generation ;" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him wino says, ~ 1
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which ;;maims in the blood, depresses
the energies of so that scrofulous comfit..
tint,.' not only Rao from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the ntln•l:i or other tlyenqrs; come
trantly, vast numbers ',nigh by disorders
ahieb, although not scrofulous in their nutur,,
are still rendavd fatal by this taint in the
system. Mat of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination ; and twiny

PRACTICE WHAT TRU PREACH,

Elegance of thought and style, .
Heard from out your modern pulpits
Man from error to beguile.
Elegance may charm the fancy,
Summon an admiring crowd,
Who surround the gifted preacher
With their praises long and loud ;
But if God's appointed servants
Would their hearer's conscience reach,
Leading them to paths of wsdom,
They must practice what they preach.
Parents, if your tender offspring .
You would lead in ways of truth,
Shielding them from the temptations
Which surround the path of youth;
Count as 'vain your timeworn maxims,
And to make pur teachings sure,
Guide them not along by precept,
But example, just and pure,
For, to shelter from the tempetts
Sin's durk clouds would cast round each
Tender flowers of your protection,
Yuu must practice what,you preach.
Teachers, if throughout your duties,
Ever faithful you would be,
Not by wcrds, but by your actions,
Teach in all sincerity.
Youthful eyes aro on you gazing,
Youthful hearts your thoughts receive ;
Eagerly they catch your accents,
Eagerly your words believe.
Then beware, lest by your actions
tiUtrue principles you tench,
And forget not, you must ever
Strive to practice what you preach.

With Mrs. Weston, to resolve was to

STACKIO BY House•PoWea.—A. Reed
of Danube, N. Y. gives the following plan
of stacking by horsepower, which not
only looks reasonable but feasible, and will
undoubtedly save much hard labor and en
able the farmer to build better stacks
"It is made by putting up three long,
straight poles in the form of a tripod or gin
over the place where the stack is to be
built. these, attach a horse pitchfork.
and use precisely as in unloading hay in
a burn. The upper pulley can be sus
pended just under the top of the gin by a
chain or hook, and the lower pulley or
roller, whatever it may be, can be fastened
to the foot of one of the poles. The poles
should be of some light timber, pine or
spruce is preferable, about three inches in
diameter at the top end, and of such length
that the space between and under them
will contain the desired stock. They
should be of unequal length, in order to
bring the top of the gm and upper pulley
over one side of the stack—the aide from
which the hay is to be pitched—otherwise
the fork, in ascending, would gouge into
the side of the stack, spoiling its shape.
With two poles 40 feet long, and one 50,
a stack can be built that will contain 20 to
25 tuns. The gin is fastened at the top,
by putting an iron bar or bolt one inch in
diameter, through the throe poles. The
top of the longest pole should be between
the others, and this pole can have its foot
drawn up or spread'out, to suit the occa
, sion, like a leg in a pair of cotnpasses.
To raise this gin, put a wagon loaded with
hay or grain on thg spot where you wish
your gin to stand, lay the top end of the
poles on the lead, the longest on one aide,
and the two shorter ones on the opposite
s:de; put in the bolt, bang .he pulley under
it, well greased, and with the rope in. Put

SUCCESSFUL TURREY-RA
have an example in the way of turkey-rais
ing, by a woman, that is worthy of atten
tion by some other farmers' wives, who
may perhaps go and do likewise. Lydia
Elbridge of Andover, Mass., writes her ex.
perienee in raising turkeys, under date of
Dec. 245, 1858:
"Lath. Spring, my husband purchased a
farm in this town, and I obtained one tur
key, nnd she laid 24 eggs, hatched them
all out at one litter, and I raised them all.
Yesterday we dressed the last of them.—
The united weight of the whole when dree
sedwas 2121 lbs.; 198 lbs. were sold for
a shilling a pound, New England currency,
amount,ng in the aggregate to $33. The
whole number at that price would have
amounted to $85,41. Now I think that
is doing quite well, and if anybody among
your army of readers can do better than
that. I think they desen'e a premium; bnt
unt'll that is done, 1 think I can claim the
Palm."
And, in our opinion, she is fairly enti
tied to it. We hope, however, that some
other woman will try to wio it from her
by fair competition in this appropriate
field of woman's labor.
HAPPY IGNORANCE.—Mrs. Key, the
mother of P. Barton Key, now lies very
ill at her resience in Baltimore. She is
yet in ignorance of the manner in which
her son came to his death. The circum
stances have been kept from her knowl
edge, and she believes he died of appo
plexy.

the reason why the wild deer are not kil

IN A PERPLEXING POSITION ... -The
town of If oricon, Wisconsin, wins, nt last
accounts, in a state of the wildest excite
ment—almost a Sickles case has taken
place there. It appears that a citizen of
that pl Ice- --a gentleman of high social
position—fell in love with his neighbor' s
wife,and made an arrangement to meet
her in her own room at ten o'clock in the
morning. To avoid scandal, he mounted
do out-house, climbed upon the roof of the
back buildirig,rnised up the chamber win
dow, stepped in, and beheld the lady's
husband in bed —he being sick, had not
gone out. The discovery was not pleasant
to ei'her of the parties, the more especially
as the ten o'clock man could give no good
reason for entering a man's house by the
window, and his position in society forbade
the idea that his object was plunder.

The California Widow.
Captain Saltwater says his fiat essay to
effect a matrimonial character, resulted in
a manner so discouraging that he don't
believe he'll ever be Induced to try it over
again. The Captain being out of service
seine months, conceived a passion for a
rather mysterious youny lady, boarding at
the saute hotel. Says the captain I con•
veyed her round the shops, shows, balls
theatres, churches, and every other place
of amusement and information, and at last,
when I thought things had gone about far
enough, I squares my yards, and says I
just as cool as a powder monkey;
I've been thitikin' I'd like to be Spliced."
Spiced; I says she, as artless as a turtle
dove. "Spliced," soya 1, and if you,ve
a notion, why—l'm ready to shore my luck
and dunnage with you, ma'ilin!" "Cap
tain, I've been thinkin' if my husband
don't write soon, and sent me some money
and n gold watch from California, I'd just
as leave marry somedody else as ns not, and
if you will wait it few days give you
the preference," Her husband had been
gone to the Pacific just four months, and
hero was n California widow. 'I stood off
after that," said the captain.
