Restoraton or Feb30N3 Apparently Drowned.
—1. Treat the patient instantly, on the spot, in
the open air, exposing the face and che> k to the
breeze, except in severe weather.
II. To clear the throat—Place the patient gent-
ly on the face, with one wrist under the forehead,
all fluids, and the tongue itself, then fall forward,
leaving the entrance into the windpipe free. If
there be breathing, wait and watch ; if not or if it
fails,
III. To Excite Respiration—Turn the patient
well and instantly on his side, and excite the nos-
1—■ ""'It snuff, or the throat with a feather, etc.,
I and dash cold water on the face, previously rub-
bed warm. If there be no success, lose not a mo
ment but instantly,
IV. To imitate Respiration—Replace the pa-
tient on bis face, raising and supporting the cheat
well on a folded coat or other article of dress.
Turn the body very gently on the side and a lit-
tle beyond, and then briskly on the face, altern-
ately repeating these measures deliberately, effi-
ciently and perseveringly, fifteen times in the
minute, occasionally varying the side. (When the
'elltrcposes on the chest, this cavity is com-
pressed by the weight of the body, and expiration
takes place ; when he is turned on the side, this
pressure is removed, and inspiration occurs. )
When the prone position is resumed, make equable
but efficient, pressure, with brisk movement, along
tbo back of the chest, removing it immediately be-
fore rotation on the side. The first measure aug-
ments the expiration, the second commences in-
spiration. The result is respiration, aud it not too
late, life.
V. To Induce Circulation and warmth—Mean-
time, rub the limbs upwards, with firm, grasping
pressure, and with energy, using handkerchief etc.
By this measure, the blood is propelled along the
veins towards the heart. Let the limbs be thus
warmed and dried and then clothed, the bystand-
ers supplying the requisite garment. Avoid the
continuous warm bath, and the position on or in-
clined to the back. This treatment is to be pet'
Fevered in for three or four hours, as it is the er-
roneous opinion that persons are irrecoverable,
bccause life does not soon make its appearance.
Cases have couic under the notice of the Royal
Humane Society of successful result even after five

Troth *ob Wivia.—In domestic happiness, the
wife's influence is much greater than her husband's;
for the one, the first cause—mutual love and confi-
dence—bring granted, the whole comfort of the
household depends upon trifles more immediately
under her jnrisdiotion. By her management of
■mall anms, her huaband's respectability and credit
an created or destroyed. No fortune con stand the
oenstant leakages of extravagance and mismanage-
| * and more is spent in. trifles than women
"r believe. The one great expense, what-
be, ia turned over and carefully reflect-
ed on ere incurred ; the inoome is prepared to meet
it; but it ia pennies, imperceptibly sliding away,
which do the mischief; and this the wife alone can
atop, for it does not come within man's province.
There ia oflen an unsuspected trifle to be saved in
every household. It ia not in economy alone that
the wife'a attention is so necessary, but in those lit-
tle niceties which mark a well-regulated house.
An unfurnished cruet-stand, a missing key, a bnt-
tonless shirt, a soiled table-clotb, a mustard-pot
with its old contents sticking hard and brown about
It, «re severally nothings ; but each can raise angry
worda or cause discomfort.
domestic
_ or a tidy
grow sated of beauty, tired
of mnsic, are olten too wearied for conversation,
(however intellectual) but they can always appre-
ciate a well-swept hearth and smiling comfort. A
woman may love her husband devotedly—may sac-
rifice fortune, friends, family, country for him
—she may have the genius of a Sappho, the en-
ohanting beauties of an Armida; but melanoholy
fact—if with these she fail to make his home com-
fortable, his heart will inevitably escape her. And
women live so entirely in the affections that with-
out love their existence is a void. Better submit,
then, to household tasks, however repugnant they
may be to yonr tastes, than doom yourself to a
loveless home. Women of the higher order of
mind will not rnn this risk; they know that their
feminine, their domestic, are their first duties.
Shall Fruit—The Horticultural mind, says the
Soil of the Sontli, ia much engrossed in cultivating
the small wilding frnita. The neglected Black-
berry, from being the humble bramble, now lifts
up his bead among the garden fruits as proud as
the Baspberry, and is even putting on airs, and
claiming superiority over the Strawberry. The
Layton Blackberry has revolutionized blackberry
culture. Practical men are hybridizing and planting
the seed of blackberries, and many assert that
they have superior fruit from the process. The
blackberry is emphatically the poor man's fruit.
The bushes grow where nothing else will grow ;
but because the fruit is common it should not be
despised. It is healthy and delicious in its growing
state, and how much more delicious when cultivat-
ed in a rich soil those only who have tried cau ap
preciate. The staining of the lips has hitherto
been an objection to the fruit as a dessert fruit,
but if the white kind are cultivated this objection
will vanish. We have never seen white blackbirds,
but we have now in cultivation white blackberries.
From the medicinal qualities known to be possess
ed by the blackberry, it is not only becoming pop-
ular fruit for the dessert, but its juices are being
extracted for jams, jellies, and wines. We feel
that we cannot do our leaders a greater favor than
to reccommend them to investigate the subject of
blackberry culture.
Industry add Genius.—There are many teach-
ers who profesa to show the nearest way to excel-
lence ; and many expedients have been invented
by which the toil of study might be saved. But
let no man be seduced to idleness by specious
promises. Excellence is never granted to man
but as the reward of labor. It argues, indeed, no
small strength of mind to persevere in habits of
industry without the pleasure of perceiving those
advances which, like the hand of a clock, whilst
they make hourly approaches to their point, yet
proceed soslow as to escape observation. There is a
precept, however, in which I shall only be oppos-
ed by the vain the ignorant, and the idle. 1
am not afraid that I shall repeat it too often,
Tou must have no dependence on your own genius.
If you have great talents; industry will improve
them; if yon have but moderate abilities, industry
will supply their deficiency.. Nothing is denied
to well-directed labor ; nothing is to be obtained
without it.

commotion within, and "a hurrying to and fro,"
like the night before Waterloo. Remarks, impre-
catory and damnatory, reached his ear; closed up
with an humble petition to be let out. So the door
was opened, and the Squire took the ntareet trail
home, but not fast enough to escape the exulting
ciy of Avery: "Squire, if them aint your bees,

Taking the Quartkb.—Daring the trial of a case
in the Eisex Common Pleas at Newburyport, re-
cently, a witness who was brought from Plaistow,
N. H-, was Coked by the District Attorney Abbot,
"Didn't you boast, when you lived in Newburyport,
that you were the greatest liar in the city V The
witness looked wise for a minute or two before he
answered:
'Oh I know what you mean. You see I went
into a room one night and found half a dozen fel-
lows who seemed to be telling stories. Says one
of them, 'Here's — he'll take the money.' 'What
money ?' I asked. 'That quarter on the table,
was the answer; 'the man that tells the biggest lie
takes it' I merely told them that I shouldn't try
for it, a's I never told a lie in my life, and they
gave me the quarter.''
"Mirter, I want to buy a shillings worth of hay."
"Is it for your lather ?" "Oh, no, it's for the horse
—dad doesn't eat hay."
"Hir Manufacture or Silvered Mirrors, as
•? gnuit carried on, is one of the most curious
som,Tfidern arts. The process of thus silver-
t¿e"**vkaüirS is very simple, the sheet of tin
%liat larger than the mirror, is laid upon
Booth table, and quicksilver poured over it
il it covcrs the tin foil with a thickness of one-
li of an inch or more, when tlie mercury has
3 swept by the edge of a stick to clean off the
is from its surface, the glass plate, scrupulously
b, is brought even with the edge of the table,
pushed gently forward sideways, so as to slide
r the bath of mercury, its edge just dipping be-
ll its surfacc, so as to push before it ail impuri
and to exclude all air-bubbles. Weights are
I evenly applied over the back of the mirror,
the whole table inclined to such an angle as to
r the drawing off ol the superfluous mercury
t requires some days or weeks, according to the
of the plate. Here is an additional risk and
" i large mirrors, since the time consumed is
not small, and the danger of fracture imminent.
The amalgam sometimes crystallizes, producing im-
perfections which require the renewal of the whole
process; and the health of those engaged in it also
suffers, and is finally destroyed by mercurial sali-
vation.
A clergyman writes to HalVs Journal of Health
ondering at his poor health, and giving the follow-
ing account of himself. After such practices, and
taking a whole apothecary's shop full of medicine
the great wonder is that he is alive:—
" I am in-doors from half-past eight to two P. M,
and am engaged in study from dark until twelve
o'clock at night. I drink very largely of cold water
or milk at my meals; I am in the habit of eating
between breakfast and dinner, and also before I
go to bed at night. In 1847, I had my pala'e cut
off; I next had the nitrate applied; then used
chlorate of potash : I next gargled my throat with
sulphate of copper: was induced to go to the Alum
Springs, in Virginia: and have been taking senna,
sulphur, and blue pills, every other night, and hare
been troubled with costiveness and piles."
Lazy—During the snmmer of '49, says the Knick-
erbocker corn being scarce in the upper country,
and one of the citizens being hard pressed for bread,
having worn threadbare the hospitality of bis ge-
nerous neighbors by his extreme laziness, they
thought it an aot of justice to bury him. Accord-
ingly he was carried to the place of interment, and
being met by one of the oitizens, the following con-
versation took place :
"Hallo, what have you got there!"
"Poer old Mr. S."
"What are you going to do with him ?"
"Bury him."
"What, is be dead 1 I had not beard of it."
"No, he is not dead, but he might as well be ; for
he has no corn and is too lazy to work for any."
"That is too cruel for civilized people. I'll give
two bushels of corn myself rather than see him bu-
ried alive." -
Old S. raised the cover, and asked in a dragging
tone, "Is it shelled I"
"No, but you oan shell it."
"Drive on, boys."
Behavior at Church.—We have allways en-
tertained tbe opinion that persons who do not be-
have themselves in the "House of God," could not
behave Themselves any where else. When we see
a man or woman, young or old, laughing and talk
ing, let it be ever so softly, or frequently yawning^
or moving about in their seats and looking in every
direction but at the minister, we conclude that they
are deficient in good breeding. Only three class-
es of persons should visit a religious meeting at
any time or place, viz: those who profess religioo,
and respect its teachings, and the house or place
consecrated to its services; those who, doubting,
- go to be convinced of its truth or fallacy, and
those who, not believing themselves, respect the
feelings and opinions of others who do. The first
class, if they sincerely believe what they profess,
can never forget that reverence which such a faith
roust necessarily inspire, no matter whether they
be born or reared "in cottage or Tn princely balls;"
those who go to be convinced will see nothiDg but
him who occupies tbe pulpit, and hear nothing but
the words which fall from his lips ; the third class
will be circumspect in their deportment for the
sake of others. Whoever professes concurrence
in the teachings of the Gospel and a belief thai the
time occasion and place are holy, solemn and sa-
cred, and yet is guilty of any levity or inattention,
professes falsely, for "the tree is known by its
fruit." Let every one who enters a Church, where
the solemn stillness of Sabbath reigns, remember
that "the Lord is in his holy temple."
The following is supposed to be the number of
newspapers in the world : Ten in Austria, four-
teen in Africa, twenty-four in Spain, twenty-six
in Portugal, thirty in Asia, sixty-five in Belgium,
eighty-five in Denmark, fifty in Russia and Poland,
three hundred and fifty in the Germanic States, five
hundred in Great Britain and Ireland, and two
thousand in the United States—total, three thous-
and one hundred and fifty four. From the fore-
going it will be seen that, in theJUnited Sute* there
are tamed neatly twice as many in all tbe other
i combined.
A gentleman was threatening to beat a jog who
barked intolerably. "Why," exclaimed an Irishman
'would you beat the dumb animal for spakin' out!'
Humanity.—A dry sort of genius once undertook
to name and classify the different sorts of fools in this
world : 1st. The ordinary fool. 2d. The fool who is
one and don't know it. 3d. The fool who is not sat-
isfied with being a fool in reality, but undertakes, in
addition, to play the fool.
Nearly all the suicides in this country are by for-
eigners. Yankees rarely, if ever, make way with
themselves, for nearly every one thinks he has a
chance of becoming President, and at any rate his
curiosity prompts him to live on, just to see what he
will come to.
He that blows the coals in quarrels he has nothing
to do with, has no right to complain if a spark fly in
his face. _
What Is An Idol?—The throne of the idol of
Juggernaut was placed on a supendous car or tower
about sixty feet in height, resting on wheels which
indented the ground deeply, as they turned slowly
under the ponderous machine. Attached to it were
six cables, of tbe size and length of a ship's cable,
by which the people drew it along. Upon the
tower were the priests and satellites of the idol,
surrounding his throne. The idol is a block of
wood having a frightful visage; painted black, with
a distorted mouth of a bloody color. Bis arms are
of gold and he is dressed in gorgeous apparel The
two other idols are of white and yellow color. Five
elephant* preceded tbe three towers, having tow-
ering flags, dressed in crimson caparisons, and bav
ing bells. Hanging to their caparisons, which soun
ded musically as they moved.
"Dippiko."—Our witty friend of the Canebreak
Herald is responsible for the following :
" Got" the Parson.—Our excellent friend Parson
F—■, whilst walking along the street a few days
since, met an "old lady of color" with b ttle in
hand and mop in mouth. "Ah aunty," said the
good parson, "that dipping will be the death of yon
some of these days."
"Laws-a-me, masse Parson," replied Aunty,
"you be de fast Bab'ist preacher dis ole 'oman eber
see, posed to dipping."
The parson took the "get* kindly, and Aunty
went her w*y, well satisfied with herself—and
doubtless, the "rest of mankind."
- The general opinion is that the vainest of all

the vainest. A goose, when entering a barn

fully selected and examined by A. R. Dumell, of the
firm, whose experience in the business, both in Europe
and this country, for the last fifteen years, renders us
confident that by rigorous attention to the matter, w

of onr Medicines.
Onr preparations will be compounded with the strict
est exactitude, and can be relied upon as of full officinal
strength.

Woodman's Cherry Expectorant,
CUBES Coughs, Colds, Influenxa, Bronchitis, all Irri-
tation ofthe organs of respiration and consumption
In every stage. The rapidity with which this popular
remedy has been received, is only another proof of its
efficacy in first reaching to the cause of disease sad its
future effect, in renorstlng the constitution by Infusing
Into the system new and healthy blood. In coughs ltls
soothing and balsamic, and changes the appearance and
character, of the muscuous discharge, renaerlDga hard
_ 'ing t
and produces sweet, calm and refreshing sleep. When
the appetite Is entirely gone, one tablespoonfnl an hour
bofore breaktsst, has an astonishing effect, In vigorous-
ly giving tone to the stomach, andgently promoting the
peristalic motion ofthe bowels. Its effect on tbP
snd organs of digestion is that of a mild alten
powerful tonic, and assisting nature in the proper per-
formance of its various functions. There is no disease
or the lungs and vlcera, which Woodman's Cherry Ex-
pectorant does not overpower.
Itls well known that skin diseases are caused by a
disarrangements ofthe organs of digestion and where
the blood does not circuíste freely through the lungs,
Woodman's Cherry Expectorant, a purely vegetable
compound, nothing mineral, obeying the taws ofnalure
at once searches forthe cause ofthe disease, and dwalls
there with a patience and perseverance, tilt under child-
like subjection the disease Is compelled to capitulate
thedtedel,andnnder the benign influence of Wood-
mans Cherry Expectorant the whole man is cleansed,
purified and renovated.
There has been no discovery In modern times which
has created a greater sensation in the medical world, and
ia now prescribed with success by the most eminent
ofthe profession, in all Pulmonary affections, stomsch
complaints, and In every stage of consumption.
Galveston, Texas, April SSth, 1850.
Dr. O. O. Woodman. New Orleans—My Dosr Sir-
Injustice to yourself and a duty I owe to those who
may be unfortunately troubled with violent Coughing,
like myself, it gives the most sincere, heartfoltjileaaure
to recommend your Cherry Expectorant.
In the tall of 1847, being in St. Louis, whsre I have
resided mostly during sixteen years, I took a severe
cold which settled on my lungs. I was leeched,
bled and blistered by Doctors till tired of mv life: fine-
ly I got on my legs again, but my Cough and weakness
never left me, accompanied with a disagreeable tick-
ling In the throat. I left St. Louis in December last,
to travel and spend the winter in the South. When I
celled at your store at Vicksburg, my Cough wssso vio-
lent that I could not make my business known. You
said you would cure my Cough, and handed me a bottle
"" ™ * * * did not like to slight you
no hopes of anything of
. unfortunate Cough, as Í
had so many things reccommended which turned ont
usele8s,but thankful am I for the day that I tried your
Cherry Expectorant. After a^ few doses, It be^an to
IfisbettL.
entirely cured, and for several weeka did not
