NUNN ALLY’S CHEMICAL PATENT SOAP. S INCE the introduction to the public of this new and simple mode, of making soap, but a few months past, it has met with unusual sueccess. For cheapness, it at once addresses itself to the economy of every house-keeper, being made at an expense of pm- Let* than One Cent per Pound. ^ FoT its-finc and lively washing qualities, it is inferior to no other soap ; indeed, it may be said to be without a rival. It is admira* bly suited to washing tine, clothes of 'every description—such as -calicoes, muslins, rich Laces, &c,Ac., without the slightest injury to fabric ol color. , As a toilet soap, it is unsurpassed for cleansing the skin. The-most delicate and lender female may use itwitliout detriment to the texture of the skin; and the most fastidi ous gentleman will find it an exquisite shav ing soap. For beauty, sweetness and active - washing properties, it is equal to any apd inferior to no other soap. It combines at once, all that is desirable in this useful and itidispensabic article of household economy. The great tac.lity with which it can be made, is a desideratum, and recomnicuds.it to the public. FROM 50 TO 5,000 POUNDS CAN BE PRO DUCED PER DAY! By purchasing and adopting the receipt Tor making this soap, much time will be saved, much trouble dispensed with, expenses ma terially lessened, and a good, cleanly and pleasant soap obtained, adapted to the wants of the people. * Family Rights to manufacture Nunnally's Chemical Patent Soap, may be procured at a cost of only THREE DOLLARS!

The following homely but interesting nar rative is related in one of the English mag azines. It proves that dreams are not al ways to be disregarded, and shows that there is sometimes a remarkably strong sympa thetic connect ion between one's sleeping ideas and the wakeful motives of others. Five-and-twenty years ago, ns I tras re turning home one evening from St. Cere, I was overtaken by a storm. I was on horse back, abd my horsd, alarmed at the hail and lightning, became restive, and refused to go a step in advance. I dismounted, and taking the reins.-attempted te urge him for ward, when fortunately, I perceived lights. I proceeded towards them, apd at length reached a miserable hovel. Upon raising the latch, I discovered a man and woman cowering over a wretched fire, employed in weaving baskets. « Good evening to you, friends, ’ I said in the dialect of the country; ■»but sorry weather this.” The denizens of the hut cast on me a look anything but gracious; however that caused me but little concern. I asked them to make me a little room by their fire, assur ing them I was willing to meet any expense I ought incur, and I proceeded to throw a heap of faggots on the embers without the slightest ceremony. « Do you take ns for Inn-keepersin quired the foimle. in a shrill tone. I took out my puree and gave her a franc pieee. The sight of the coin molified her at once. „ Ah i” said the horrid old witch, ««I see you are a good gentleman-and a kind ’ and she resumed her task. The storm, however, raged with unabated violence. The gale threatened te carry away the hovel, and my horse stood neighing and pawing the ground under the died where I had fastened him. It was idle to think of venturing forth, yet I could scarcely reckon upon finding a sleep- mg apartment in that miserable abode. .. Well, sir,” said the woman, ..it would be a and thing to go beyond doors on such a right as thin. Wa are bri poor folk, and have bed towfita yon, worthy such a fine gentleman; bat if yo« don't mind going up there (printing to a ladder and a kind of garret) at aay rata you'll be able to keep yoaraelf dry.” , Somehow, the woman's look did not pleone me at all. However, there was no kelp for it; baorieo wrick, I was freak from the ar my, and no milksop; ao I clambered np forthwith. I trim stretched my cloak on the worm aafoB boards foot composed the •ear; and *ite of storm and rind was coca fori asleep. Strange enough, bat I had folfoB fost asleep ere I moot takq.it surging high above her head a face grizly to behold. It was the same that graced my gentle hostess of the hoTcl. She had a hatchet in her hand, and made as though to strike me. I strove to rise-and take flight; but i& vain, my limbs refused their office. On my examining them more elosely, I dis covered that they were severed at the joint. The change thus suddenly wrought in them, had the effect of arousing me from my slum bers , and dispelling the fearful vision. At any rate, wake np I did, and found myself still in the garret, with my hea‘d pillowed on my cloak. I bent my bead to listen if I could hear aught; but save the howling of the storm, all was silent. Somehow or oth er, I could not rid myself of the painful im pression occasioned by the dream. It struck me to indulge in a peep through one of the many chinks in the rotten, worm-eaten floor; and accordingly, I proceeded to take an ob- servation-of how matters might be passing below. The man and his wife were stili bending over the fire, but they bad discon tinued their work, and were conversing in whispers. .. I tcH you there's more money in that purse than you could earn during your life time,” said the female. .. Weil, what then r” said the man. .. What then ? Why,-take it, to be sure ! Catch tight bold of his legs, and mind the rest of him follows then; then pitch him dowu the hole, and leave the rest to me,” showing a mason's mallet in her hand. « And when that’s done, what's to become of him next ?” inquired her husband. . We'll lay bim down somewhere on the- road, and folks will think that he was kill ed by a fall from his horse !” And as she spoke she extinguished the nondescript sort of lamp used by the peasanty in those parts. The fire was long since out, so I could see nothing. They continued to whisper, but in such low tones as to be inaudible. I trust I am not a greater coward than my neigh bors;-still, I own I felt very much from comfortable, for, be it remembered, that I had not a single offensive weapon about me. For a moment I aonsidered the notion of jumping down the trap-door, and clearing the ladder at a single spring, but said lad der was very rickety, and had I missed my- footing, heaves- alone can tell what would haw been the result. Moreover, I had but brief tune for reflection, for I suddenly felt a slight- vibration at the trap-door, which made inoshuddecfcom h^id to J’oOt. The mam wawdlimbnrg the fodder, anitcach round as he mounted, creaked beneath'his weight. By this lime- I had succeeded in raising myself noiselessly on my knees at the edge of the trap-deor. With a quick 1 beating heart, and eye, ■ ear and limb, at their utmost tension, there I awaited in ag ony of apprehension. Suddenly, amid the darkness, a form appeared before me, and I felt its hand come in contact wkh my per son. I sprung to my feet, clutched the in dividual by the throat and hurled- him back wards. His foot slipped, and he fell heavi ly' from the ladder. I have him safe!” exclaimed the wo man ; and at the same time I heard the sound of a heavy blow, then a piercing shriek, followed by another blow, and then naught, save the bowling blast and patter ing rain. With her own hands she had slain her husband! I hadn't nerve enough to descend the lad der. Wlrat with the womaH and the mur dered man, I was fairly taken aback. It occurred to me that I might perhaps be able to work my way through thereof, and so I did. I found my horse .where I had made fast, anil proceeded- forthwith to tell my sto ry to the authorities. The female was brought to trial and sentenced to death; and as in those days there were no such things as circumstances in extenuation, she was duly executed. .withthe girl •t mjkaoxi May sick, when an a redden, I peroerad Muscular Strength. The muscular strength of the human body is indeed wonderful. A Turkish por ter will trot at a rapid pace while carry ing a weight of three hundred pounds. Milo, a celebrated athletic of Crotona, in Italy, early accustomed himself to carry the greatest burdens, and by degrees became a monster in strength. He was several times at the Pythian games, and six times at the Olympian. He presented himself (he sev enth time, but no one had the courage to enter the list agaiffst him. He was one of the disciples of Pythagoras, and to his un common strength the learned preceptor and his pupils owed their lives.- The pillar which supported the roof of the schoolroom suddenly gave way, but MilO supported the whole weight which the-pillar had suppor ted, and gave the philosopher time to escape. It is said that Augustine II, King of 'Po land, could roll up a silver plate like a sheet of paper, and twist the strongest horse shoe asunder. A Frenchman who was attached to a cir cus in this country was able to resist the muted strength of four horses, as Was wit nessed by hundreds in various parts of the country.

Sir JONES SMITH, jff, ' * Mrs. Morgan’s husband was an excellent workman, nhd had the best wages, but he would drink, and like most men of his class, when in liquor generally beat Hie children, and sometimes his wife Mrs. Morgah “was notable woman, and loved-her husband in spite of.all, but after years of patient forbearance, she came to the conclusion that Jimmy Morgan, as she call ed him, should stop drinking, Whether or no. In other words, she- resol red on a private Maine Law of her own. The occasion was One day when Jimmy came home to dinner, half tipsy, which al ways happened when he stopped at the tav ern on his way; and he did this, on the av erage, about twice a week. “ Now, you Morgan,” she sakl as scion as he entered, .you’ve been at the whiskey bot tle again. You needn’t deny it. I know it! by your looks—and by your breath too—go away yon nasty beast! How dard you try to kiss me when yen hare- been drinking ?” Jimmy had essayed his matrimonial ca ress, Loping it would conciliate the .. gude- -wife,” but finding his purpose failed, he stood upon his dignity'. .. Hoity-toity !” said he; .1 lioW we put on airs. Give ns some dinner, and don’t snlk.” Mrs. Morgan did not oftOn get roused, but she was now. She put her arms akimbo ;• and answered, .. Not a mouthful of dinner do you get in this house to-day, or any other day, tHl you come home-sober. ' So the sooner you're off the'better.” The half tipsy husband looked at her in amazement. For a moment he thought' of enforcing his will, as he had often done be fore, but whether, be had not drunk quite e- noqgh to rouse his courage, or whether the blazing eyes of his helpmate frightened him, we know not—but after a little hesitation he left the honse. Of course he went straight to the tavern, as Mrs. Morgan father expected he - would: Aml of course, when night Came, he was led home thoroughly inebriated, as she rather wished he would be. He had just sufficient, reason left to won. der at the extraordinary care with which his wife, after assisting to undress him, tucked him in bed. But this, and everthing else,- was soon forgotten in a stupefied sleep. She Waited until satisfied -that he was en tirely ihsrasible,.-when she proceeded to sew the offender up in in the sheets,exactly as if he had been a mammy. The stitches were not smallf but they were taken with strong thread; and shew knew they would hold, es pecially as he could now use neither legs nor arms. Once or twice he grunted as if abont to wake, but she stopped a moment at sueh times. ; At last the proceeding was complete! And now she brought forth a cart whip which she borrowed that afternoon from a neighbor. «. Now Jimmy Morgan,” she said, apostro phizing him;.. I’ll core yon of your beastly habits, or—please God"!-—I’ll whip you till you’ll be sore for a month.” Down came the lash as vigorously as her brawny arm could lay it on;—again, again and yet again;—it seemed as if she was ne ver going to stop. And very soon the offen der roused from his supor, saw what it was and begun to beg for mercy. .. None till you’ve promised to leave off drinking,’’ was the -answer; and the blows desceneded Still more rigorously than ever. .. Swear never to drink again!” «. Oh! you'll kill me—you'll kill me—” « No, it will do you good. To think how drunk you were ten minutes-ago, and now to see you rolling about so lively—never tell me, Jimmy Morgan, tbat I’m killing you af ter th»l.” « Mercy, mercy, mercy !” roared the crim inal. .. How can you, Polly use your own husband so:” < 11 can, and I will.” And another -show er of blows descended. « Hallow as much as you like, for it wiH do you good; only I can tell you one thing—it will not reuse the neighbors. I told them what 1 was going to do if ever you came home drunk again.— Have you had enough yet: WiH you prom ise at once, or are you going to hold out stillr « Oh ! oh ! oh! ’ groaned the helpless hus band, twisting and turning in every direc ti n, but unable to escape the cataract of blows, «. oh! oh !” .< Will you promise. 3 You'd better do it quick,” resumed this inexorable spouse, « or I’ll beat you to a jelly. This six years I’ve borne your drunkenness, but I’ll bear it no longer. T re tried coaxing,—I’ve tried eve rything—and now ! am trying whipping.— You’ve beaten me often enough, and I'm paying you back. Promise at once, the quipkea the‘better, for I’ll not let you up till you do, even' if it keeps me here all night, and you are sick for year after ward.” It was a good while before the criminal gave in. Be thought hi» wife would tire out at last, hut wheutitacaetigatorhadpreeeed- ed for afiDR time, and ko saw no symptoms of either foBfoka or relenting, he was oom «I'll swear—I’ll swear,” he said, at last; «I ll do anything. Only let me up.— ThaPs a dear good Polly. Oh! Lord! don't whip me any more, for I’ve arid Pd swear. Oh! oh!” Mn. Morgan gate him three four aouad to « make amuranea doubly rare,” before she admirisftered the oath: ' which she did at last with the Bible in her I hands, completing the ceremony by making him kirn the book. From that night Jimmy Morgan was nit er known to taste liquor. He told his neigh bors that he had beeu so sick, after his last spree, thfit he had resolved to join the Tem perance society; bat he did not tell them What made him ill. Mrs. Morgan, too, kept the secret, nursi&g him through his braises, which were neither few nor Slight. Howev er, as she said to herself, « desperate rea dies.” And 90 she never repented qf the medicine she had administered, even though her husband did not earn a dollar for three weeks. A word more and oar tale is done. AkJ that word is its moral. Perhaps other wives might work cures as miraculous, if they would try Mrs. Morgan's Maine LaW! <t One” of The New Hampshire Girls, —A correspondent of the Boston Jodrital relates the following account of a NeW Hampshire girl, Miss Rosina Delight Riok- ardson, only daughter of Mr. and Mre. Richardson, of Cheshire county, to whom he had an introduction a few days since : Miss Rosina is nineteen years of age, is 5 feet & 1-4 inches in height, measures 5 feet 4 1-4 inches around the waist, 6 feet 2 itali cs around the hips, 22 inches around the arm, abovo the elbow, 14 inches around the' arm below the elbow, and 2 feet 10 inohed in a stra : ght line across the shoulders—At *brrth she weighed 6 lbs ; a* 5 years, 148 Ibe at ten years, 2G8 lbs; at fifteen years, 86$ lbs, and now, at nineteen years of age, she weighs 478 lbs. On' estimating the quantity of cloth in her clothing, When dressed fdh i ride on a winter’s day, we found it to con tain 98 1-2 yards of 3-4 yards wide cloth: She has brown haH*, dark bine eyes, i* of fair complexion,'and has what phrenologists would call a well-balanced head, the per ceptive ' organs predominating. She etd knit, spin, Weave, make a shirt, or a batch bread, is a good singer, arid plays the ptand.

Alt' physicians arc a* ware of the salivating effect of calomel, and of the inconvenience that arises front Mre mouths and. other irritating complaints that affect the patients. I have had several per sons under my care, to whom .1 have been obliged to administer calomel, which I hafe mixed with supercarbonate of soda, ta the proportion of about twice the amount by weight of soda.

When a girl reaches the age of 28, and is still on the ladder of expectation, the young fellows club together and draw lots for her. Those who escape pay a bonus to the ohe who gets her. There is Lore fatigue in laziness than in labor. Surely some people must know themselves; they never think about any thing else. _ Nobody ever sees an action as very wrung when under the excitment of doing it. Love is like honesty—much talked about; and bat little understood. The Musi in the Bushes.—A Dowu East poet in one of his desperate rifortd thus eloquently sets forth his choice cfl life: Some poetaf theme is the foreign dime.
