Fur one cent one may obtain a bushel and a half of sweet potatoes. The yam, indeed, grows almost spontane ously, and it is brought to its high slate of perfection by being simply poked in a hole and covered over with sand, an operation requiring no more energy than is necessary to dip up a gourd of water and drink. All sorts of fruits grow iti the great est abundance and force themselves into observation by their profusion. Death in that country is, as we have intimated, easy.

A wealthy gentleman ot Cincinnati, not long since, left that city, resolved upon engaging in business in New York, and before doing so had occasion to visit a certain family with whom he had been for a long period of time on terms of friendly intimacy. In this faniilv was an interesting young lady for whom he had evinced an attachment ol a more tender character than that of mere friendship, and who. happily for his fortunate self, returned his affection with all the feeling ot a youthful heart. On hearing ot the departure for this city ol the one she held so dear, after in vain attempting to make him desist from his journey, she formed the reso lution of accompanying him unknown to her parents. The gentleman en deavored to induce her to abandon her wild idea, as he termed it, but she would listen to no appeal, and made all the preparations necessary to leave her home clandestinely with him, afier having made him promise that he would not reveal her project to any member ot the family. The pair arrived safely m this city, and put up at the Metro politan hotel, the gentleman treating the young lady with all the respect due a sister by a brother, he engaging separate apartments for her exclusive occupation. They had not been iu town over two days beloto a dispatch was received from her father by the authorities at police hca-iquMiew, re qiiestmg, tnat the gentleman who had f I.'

In place of a course, rustic, flushed face, she had a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth ness, and instead of twenty three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon inquirj 7 as to the cause of so great a change, she plainly told them that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady's toilet. By its use any lady or gentleman can improve their personal appearance an hundred fold. It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself i3 simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, cleansing, and beautifying the skin and complexion. By its direct actiou on the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the some, and leaving the surface as Nature intended it should be, clear, soft, smooth, and beautiful.
