Call me Then brrakfart is ready
O. mother, don’t call me l>efore;

Eight hours of eieep are too little
For delicate maidens like me,
Dearer by far iy my pillow
Than cup of the daintiest tea.
Mother, I cannot endti**e it;
T3jis getting up early’m a bore
Call me when breakfast in ready.
Oh ! pleane. do not call me before.
Cal! me when breakfast ia ready—
O motherdon’t call roe too noon
Hhoppiug, of conrae, needs attention.
But th *t can bo done before noon.
Talk of the folly of faahion,
I do not consider it do;
Parties must not be neglected.
And style is important, you know..
Mother, it makes me so nervous
To think of your step at the door
Call me when breakfast is ready.
Oh J please do not call me before.
Call me when breakfast ia ready
Oh ! don’t call me early, I pray.
Doctors advise to be qifiet,
My spine is affected, they say.
Sleep is a potent eUxir,
And better than drugs or the knife;
Why, then, so much in a hurry,
Binoe rest, is the solaoeof life?
Mother, do have some compassion.
And chide my late rising no more;
Call me when breakfast is ready.
Oh! please do not call me before.
Call me when breakfast is ready—
O mother! 1 think Iv’e been told,
That multitudes Struggle for riches,
And barter their comfort for gold.
Hypocrites often vise early—
Their motives are perfectly plain
Sundays they always sleep later,
Because they have nothing to gain.
Mother! I cannot endure it;
This getting up early’s a bore -
Call me when breakfast is ready.
Hut please do not call me before.

Dear Journal:
I send you a few lines, copied from j
the A me.riean Medical Weakly, which
may be of some importance to the farm
ing fraternity. We often hear them
complain of tlieir ntock dying after eat
ing corn with maul in it, aud as there is
a groat deal in the corn this year, it
would be well enough to guard agaiust
auch losses.
Yours respectfully, T. Tj. L
Prof. Brugnatelli hint been able to
isolate from damaged Indian corn a pro- j
duct having all the chemical, and nearly i
all the physiological properties of strych-1
oift. He tested it on frogs, fowls, in- i
sects, ilsh and mammals, with results j
that left him no doubt I. tat he had to do
with a similar substance to strychnia ;
and, moreover, by additional experi
ments on the animals, with an agent de
rived from damaged maize, in; observed
other phenomena o r poisoning different
from those of styelmia, which led him to
believe that still another narcotic and
paralyzing poison existed.
By careful labor he succeeded in iso
lating another substance which ho calls
a watery extract, which, without produc
ing any symptoms like those of strych
nia, caused narcosis, or death, with
clonic convulsions. Both substances

Alternate between cotton aud oats,
sowing oats in cotton in September.—
Sow the same number of acres iu oats
that you plant in cotton. The oat stub
ble will furnish laud for cotton well sup
plied with human, and the cotton field
will furnish land for oats well supplied
nitrogen. Tito only manuring necessary
will bo cotton act'd and acid phosphate
for the cotton crop nothing will be re
quired for the oats. Just after picking
over a cotton field, bar off the cotton,
as at its first working, then sow the onts
and cover with a cultivator, or a harrow
with coulter teeth.
It is best to seed heavily—of the red

Take three-fourths of a pound of fat
pork and fry the grease into a salve; stir
three hand fulls of salt into the grease
when warm, until it is perfectly dissolv
ed ; then bruise well three eggs, shells
and a’l, and thoroughly mix with the
two first ingredients after they have be
come sufficiently cool not to conk the
egg*- Apply the salve to the part, affect
ed, at intervals of three days each, rub
bing the part thoroughly : then warm
with a hot iron, holding it as near the
part affected as possible, so that it may
be well wanned, but uot burned. Three
applications will generally cure ; but if
tlte sweeny is bad, more applications
} will perhaps lie needed.

Stove luster, when mixed with turpen

blacker and more glossy, aud more dura
