j Wboh tho celebrated physician Aber-
j Hethy dledi report Said that, besides u

cuniary point of view, there was found
j among bis effects a seuled envelope, suid
; to contulli the secret of his great sucoeas
I in the healing art, and also n rule ol liv-
; ing, the following of whioh will insure Ion
\ gevity.
| A lurge price was paid for the sealed
envelope. It was found to contain only
! these words : “To insure continued
[ health and n ripe old age, keen the head
cool, the system open, ami the feet
warm.”
I Dry feet are warm foot, generally, if
j the system is healthy. To keep the sys-
I tom healthy, the circulation must bo
goodi The circulation is not good with
out exercise, and exercise can only be
] really valuable when gotten up by walk-
[ing, Hiding in u carriage is not exer-
] ciso at ull; it is merely inhaling the air.
This is very well ns far as it goes, but
the lungs uto not in full play without the
individual is walking. Horseback exer
cise is very good, and is an improvement
on curriage riding, but it is not the kind
of health-creating piny of the Muscles
nature demands. It in action—action of
the entire body— and wn'kiug only will
procure it. Now, the ladies of Europe,
particularly those of England, under
stand thin thing. They wulk miles per
day, and if any of our pule beauties de
sire to know how the English keep up
their lino color, clear complexion, and su
perb busts, wo tell them that it is out
door exercise, walking in the open air,
liking the lungs with puro psygttn b)'
rapid movement on a sharp October day,
when tho sun shines brightly, and the
clear blue sky is above. This is the so
cret of the rich blood of tho English wo
men and their almost universally fine
looks and matronly beauty ut Ilftyj when
at that ago our American women uh*

To enjoy a walk thick soles nro need
ed. Stout, well-fitting calfskin gaiters,
j neatly Incod, will always "set off” a pret-
; ty foot, and improve a homely one. To
guard th,a sensitive portion of tho hu
man frame (for tho solo of the foot 1
keenly sensitive to the changes from
heat t„ cold, or dryness to dampness,)
tho boot sole should bo thick and ns
well made as human ingenuity can do it.
Then even in moist weather, or in a ruin
storm, the foot can be protected ; that
insured, all is well with tho ludy.

" JOblER" LOSES HIS “ MARRIER.’’
A 8TBAXIBOAT INDIDKNT.
A funny scene transpired on board the
steamer St. James, on her Inst trip down.
The St. James, bo it known, is a favor-
ito boat with wedding parties, on ac
count ol her superior accommodations,
nnd tho general elegance which distin
guish her. At Aberdeen, n young man,
dressed in his Sunday’s best, mid show
ing in nil his movements that this was
tiib happiest day of his life, came aboard,
leading by tho hand a timid young wo
man, who luid sworu that day to love,
honor, etc., tho young man aforesaid.—
They wore on n wedding lour to Cincin
nati, to see the tiig bridge, the Nioliolsoh
pavement, nnd other objects of interest.
Approaching clerk Hegnier, the young
man steeped in bliss, said :
‘‘Look-a-hero, Mr. Cleik, I and Mnrier
have just doubled teams for life. (‘Mn
rier’ blushes foino more, and tries to draw
away, but the tother half clings to her.)
Wo'vo determined to tnko a day to our
selves and go to Cincinnati. Now wo
wants n— (hesitating) u room—well, n
room—(with desperate eucrgy)—both
together.
Bride, (reproachfully)—“Josier 1”
Bttdcgroom, (stoutly)—“That’s wlrnt
I say, and wo want tho best room you’ve
got on the boat ”
The clerk disposed of them sntisfucto-
rily, and “Mnrrier,” blusing more than
over, retired to their state mum, it being
Into in tho night J whllo her “Josior, 1
lighting a cigar, paced tho forward cab
in with tho importance which every
young man fools when ho first assumes
tho responsibility of paying n yoling wo
man’s board us n consideration for hor
changing her name.
Josior at length concluded to seek his
"Murior.” Accordingly ho directed his
footsteps toward bis stateroom. Softly
lie tupped at tho door—but no response
from within foil upon Ids listening enr
'I lien ho gave a louder hip, and applying
his mouth to tho keyhole, tthlspored
shrilly: “Mnrier, open tho door to your
Josier.” Btiil, no reply. Jlo tlirtled tho
handle, nnd tho door being unlocked, it
opened readily.
Ho advanced ono foot inside, gave a
look of bow ildermUnt, und then rushing
back into tho cabin in a state of frenzy,
ho screamed : “Stop tho boat l She’s
gone ! overboard, may be I Captain I Mr.
Clerk I Where’s my Mnrrier r llaft she
drowned herself? Why didn’t I get
two rooms ? Oh, donr, (< II tho pilot lo
slop her; give mo back my Mnrierl”
By this time Cupt. Oaks, backed by his
clerks, Rognur and ltoss, and reinforced
by the passengers, guilefully, waft otl the
spot.
“\\ hat tho deuce is tho matter ?” suid
tho captain.
‘Oh, captain I” said tho difttrttc'od
bridegroom, tearing up und down tho
cabin, “she always was a timid gul—
afraid ofgcltin’ married—gone crazy und
jumped ovoiboard—why didn't 1 got two
rooms? Oh, dear I”
lie then jtointed at his. statu ftltittl, in
which he hud expected to find hie “Mu-
rior.”
"Why, ils empty," said tho captain.
"Yes,” said Josior, tonring liis hair,
“i.nd don't you soo the outdoor’s open ?
She wo t crazy, I toll yo, und jumped
overbourd." 'ilion fulling upoj tho cap-
talii’a neck, ho screeched, “Oh, give mo
buck my “Marior I”
At this innment n state room door ad
joining opened, nnd there was a glimpse
of a snowy night cup, while u low’, sweet
voice suid:
“duaiev, you’re u fool; what nro you
tonrin* ’l-tiUml nt that late lor? Have
you been dri.ikin’?”
Josior gave a yell of astonishment nnd
delight, und put himself in that state
room door in a twinkling. Hu had made
a mistake of tho number ol his .state
room, that’s ull. Marior hadn't gone
crazy, and sho hadn’t jump od overbourd.

A CURIOUS SCENE.
The New York corresponded t»" tho
Charleston News relates n singular oc
currence which took place a few days
since at Greenwood Cemetery. A young
widower, whose first wife has been dead
three months, took unto himself u second
spou*o, nnd on tho very day uftor lho
knot was tied took wife number two to
Greenwood Cemetery, to visit tho grave
of wife number one. Btatiding over tho
grave tho glief stricken man indulged
himself in a burst of sorrow, nnd re
marked to himself that no woman lived
who could compare with her who lay
beneath the grass-covered sod. The live
wifo took exception at tho spirit of tho
remark, ns well as ut tho remurk itself
about the spirit. 8ho denied the truth
of the statement, and added that sho
considered horse f fur superior, in all
respects, to the dead womun. The ox-
widower assured hor that sho flattered
heraelf, and that she could not begin to
compare with tho dofuoct lady either in
physical, mental or moral excellence;
whereupon a quarrel arose—tho live wife
beat her bosom's lord about the head
with an umbrella j the man showed fight,
and tboro wns a veritable contest nt tho
grave. The twain have separated;
nnd the lady has gono home to hor pa
rents, nnd tho ex-wudower is, pructicully
©peaking, n widower oguin.
Fon.viir.-—An exchange unys Forney
continues to assail tho President daily
with the foulest epithets that billingsgate
can supply. But tho President don't
seem to mind it much. Tho timcB has

Nor that nint nil. First, you wnnt.to

l’nll your boots off with tho boot-jack
instead of tho tongs, nnd if you aro so

leave your pocket book in the middle of

Don't sleep on tho door-stop ; it nint

with u fino tooth comb. As for tooth

By following these directions you may

ana borha away from the so’.l with each
crop that ia produced. The roots of veg
etation penetrate only a certain distance
into tho ftbil, nnd; of course tho spon-

suits, existing in an assimilable stulo, is
comparatively smnll, they soon bocomo
exhausted, nnd tho land thfa’fl ifflpovcr :
ished, fails bf its brdiiinry production.
Tho minds of planters nro usually very
obtuse on theso .matters. They w ill not
accept tho inevitable law of exhaustion
when applied to lund, nor do they accept
tho theories of recuperation. If a field
of n plantation fails of its wontfcd pro-'
ductivenevs, it is turned out to the mercy
of tho broom-sago nnd brambles, and al
lowed tl1 ObhtlniiQ, to grbw moro nnd
moro worthies*. Thu* is trffbU'H nH’ny
thousands of valuable acres—the result
of sheer ignorance or a stubborn indis-
position to experiment upon the theories
laid down by scientific men.
Wo know n gHod old funner onco
w ho had his soil oxnmihud by n ehbmist
in order to ascertain what fertilizer was
best adapted to its improvement. An
analysis of tho soil waft made, nnd the
owner of tho land informed that it need-,
ed lime. The old gentleman’s dawning
belief in science was immediately upset,
mid ho scouted tho idea as preposterous,
for limestone existed in slick abundance
on hie lands that it was almost a nuis
ance. Most of Iuh fields were fenced with
it. lie would listen to no explanation,
but left the chemist after nn indignant
expression of his opinion in regard to
humbugs. Bud tho old gentleman lis
tened to a little explanation ho would
have left that labrntory with far different
lights before him. Tho truth was, ns
tho old man h8sertod| lie had ftiipuritlnm-
dunco of limestone nn his land, but it ex
isted in a compound which was of no
earthly uso lo the plants, and, though he
had it prepared for the soil, ho said it
"rolled up in hard lurtipi ntid got rocky
ngn'n.” It was magnesian limestone.
This Would possibly bo tho case with
many others did they take it into their
heads to test the matter. An analysis
of tho soil would reveal tho existence of
ingredients which the chemist would
probably sny wero deficient. Tho fuot
that they nro not atflttlilublo is Imporcep
tiblo to them, because they do not un
derstand the laws of ohomicul reaction,
and what is necessary to render these
ingredients fit to be food for vegetation.
And while they exist in some sfmbo in
the soil they do not understand why it
is they should bo added which, by tho
operation of the law of affinity, would
tit them for assimilation.
Tho tact is ns soon ns the soil is di
vested of the soluble portion of theso
salts, all that remains is ns worthless 11k
so much gravel, unless moans are adopt
ed to rornico them from their original
compounds, nnd render them capable of
being digested by tho tender apparatus
of plants. A plant foods upon nothing
soiid suvo in dilution. Ail inorgunic
matter that enters into its constitution
must outer us a fluid; nnd through thu
delicate sponges that feud It; honco, it
may readily bo seen why it is that a cer
tain element muy lie a component part
of, and still bo required to bo added to
the soil in order to improve its fertility.
Gypsium—sulphate of lime—may fre
quently bo added to limestone laud with
ubundunt effect. Insoluble itself, except
in a very diminutive proportion, it never
theless produces in tho soil two soluble
non-volutile suits, both of which are es
scntiul to tho growth of phmtsi
The sulphate of lime broUght Into con

it in tho form of u carbonate; a caso of

tion
Tho object then to bo attained is a nuf-
ficlent supply of fhese ingredients in an
nHgimiluhlo form to supply tho exhaus
tion that inevitably follows continued cul
tivation! To do this the nature of the
soil must be carefully examined and un
derstood, nnd tho nature and economy

vised application of fertilizers will in

From our Now Orleans cotompornfics
we gather somo very gloomy facts and
figures concerning sugar in Lntliftiiinn.
In former times that Btnte made an un-
niial crop of four hundred thousand hogs
heads of Muscovadn or btown sugar, at
an uveroge price of five cents per pound,
