Preparation of Compound

The component parts are BUCHU

BERRIES.
Mode of Preparation.— Buchu, in
vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine
pin. Cnbehs extracted by dispU'-en.ent with spirits
spirits obtained from Junf;> r Berries: very little
supar is uses, and a small proportion of spirit. It is
more palateable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggist*. is of a light Color.
It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a
llnme destroys this (Iti active orinciple,) 5e.-ving a
dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the coler of
j ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi
n' tes; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients
are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon Inspec
tion, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made
in Pharmacopoea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore
can be used in cases where fever nr inflammation ex
ist. In this,you have the knowledge of >}*• ingredi
ents and the mo le of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor It with a trial._and that
upon inspection it will meet with your approbation
With a feeling of confidence,
I am very respectfully yours,

What a Sonl It westerner Think*.
Mr. Editor: Last week I went up
to Atlanta for the purpose of—well
what else do people go to Atlanta for
except to rent law offices? As soon
us I got there, I went to call on a
young friend who had just opened an
office at No. , Whitehall street. It
was sometime before he opened the
door, being very much excited; a'id I
thought I hoard him mutter to himself,
“at last, at last!” But alas! he open
ed the door finally to find that it was
only an old friend, and the tbermomo-1
ter of his countenance fell below freez- I
ing point. When he had sufficiently |
recovered, we talked much of Atlanta, I
especially of her lawyers and their I
prospects. “Atlanta,” said he, “is in |
much danger of becoming thoroughly
yankeeized; and when, like all North-1
era cities, the horizon of her aspirations !
shall be bounded by one word, and j
that word is dollars, then farewell to all j
her greatnes . If you come to Atlanta
you will have to give up many a cher
ished idol; mine are all broken; and !
yours will be. The people here will
value you, not for soaring intellect, or 1
chivalric honor, or noble sentiments,
but, just as they would a horse or an I
ox, for the work you can do.” I ad-1
vise him how to get a case, viz; to ]
prosecute the people for not giving him |
employment; go down to the depot; j
take the W. &A. train, bound for— l j
don't know where.
I arrived at Cartersville on the day
of the Democratic Convention held <
there, and decided to remain a day to
witness the proceedings of the Conven
tion. It is useless to tell you, Mr. Ed- j
iter, though it may not be so well
known to others, that one day decided
me to remain two, the second a third,
and so on for a week; and I should
have been there yet, but for the fact
that the citizens were so clever aud
the place so attractive that my stay i
threatened to become an indefinite one. j
You remember, Mr. Editor, (common- j
ly, Editors remember very little about
such things,) you remember that a
great man once said that good, when j
used to describe King , meant every j
thing that is excellent. I wish there
was some word that would describe
dig with equal force, so that I might
apply it to yours, and have done with
this letter.
Your county I believe to be the fin- ;
est in the State; the binds are rich,!
level, and well ‘cultivated; many of the
citizens are wealthy, all are enterpris
ing, and all hospitable. Your city is
the most thriving, most genial, most
flourishing, and most beautiful of all
on the W. &A. Itoad. New lioads are
in progress, new buildings are going ;
up, new citizens are coming in daily, |
and new wealth pouring in from all j
the four points of the compass. The 1
Cherokee country must have a great
city, and that city will be Cartersville. i
If or health, your whole section of;
country is unrivaled in Georgia. The I
water is excellent; and tire atmosphere!
is so pure, so free from dust and at the j
same time from too much moisture,
that it reminds one of the Cumberland j
mountain air, where you may sleep all
night in the open air under a clear sky, \
and wake up next morning without
having to rub your eyes open. Prop
erty in, and around your city, is high;
but this is only a good indication of its
prosperous condition.
A word about your society. Asa
general rule, where the people are so
enterprising as they are in your city,
they have very little tune to devote to j
education and refinement. Not so at ]
Cartersville. I can only say, that in 1
this respect, you have no equal but
Athens, and no superior wdnitever.— |
What shall I say of the young ladies, I
the poetry of the place? Well, they
are ns good as a Lecture of Cousin on
the True, the Beautiful, and the Good.
The hotels, shops, Editors, and Law
yers, are just what they ought to be,
if they were not they would have to
find another location. The morale of
your city is superior to that of any m
Geoagia.
Very respectfully,
\V D. T.
P. S. I forgot to say that ail the
people of Atlanta have two ambitions;,
first to get on the State Itoad; and,
failing in that, to get iuto the Legisla
ture.
Jenklu» gee* to a picnic
...
* JjjlwVAnn recently determined to
go to a picnic.
Maria Ann :'s my wife —un fortunate
!y.
She had planned it to go it alone, so
far as I was concerned, on that picnic
; excursion; but when I determined to
1 assist, she pretendeu she was very glad,
j but I don’t believe she was.
‘lt will do you good to get away
from your work a day, poor fellow,”
sle said; “and we shall so much enjoy
a cool morning ride on the cars, and
dinne r in the woods.”
On the morning of that memorable
day Maria Ann got up at five o’clock.
About three minutes later she disturb
ed my slumbers, and told me to come
out to breakfast I w asn’t hungry, but
it didn't muke a bit of difference, I hud
to get lip. The sun was up: I hud no
idea the sun began business so early in
the morning, but there he was.
“Now,” said Maria Ann, “we must
fly around, for the curs start at half
past six. Eat all the breakfast you can i
for you won’t get anything more before
noon.*’
KO. 17.
I could not eat any thing at that
| time in the morn in 3, arid it was well
! that I could not, for I had all I could
j do. There was ice to be pounded to
I go around the pail of ice cream, and
j the sandwiches to cut, and I thought I
j never should get the legs of the chick
ens fixed so that I could get the cover
!on tho big basket. Maria Ann flew a
i round and piled up groceries for me to
I pack, aud gave directions to the girl
j about taking care of the house, and
was putting on her dress nil atouce.—
There is a great deni of energy in that
woman—perhaps a tritie too much.
At twenty minutes past six I stood
on the front steps with a basket on one
arm, aud Maria Aim’s waterproof on
the other, and a pail in each hand, and
a bottle of vinegar in my coat-skirt
pocket. There was a camp chair hung
on me somewhere, tod, but I forget just
now. “Now,” said Maria Ann, “we
must run, or we shall not catch the car.’ 1
“Maria,” said I, “that is a reasona
ble idea. How do you suppose I can
run with all this freight?”
“You must, you brute. You always
try to tease me. If you don’t want a
scene on the street you will start, too.'*
So I ran.
I had one comfort at l*ast, Maria
Ann fell down aud broke her parasol.
She called me a brute again because I
laughed. Maria drove me all the way
to the depot on a brisk tiot, and we got
on the cars; hut neither of us could get
a seat, and I could not find a place
where I could set the thiugs down, so I
stood there and held them.
“Maria,” I said, in sweetest accents,
“how is this for a cool morning ride?”
Said she, “You are a brute, Jeukius.”
Said I, “My love, you hate made
that remark before.”
I kept my courage up, yet I knew
there would be an hour of wrath when
we got home. While we were getting
out of the cars the bottle in my pocket
got broke, and consequently I had one
boot half full of vinegar all day. That
kept me pretty quiet, and Maria Aim
ran oil with a big whiskered music
teacher, and lost her fan, and got her
feet wot, and tore her dress, and enjoy
ed herself much after the fashion of
picnic-goers, X thought it never would
come dinner time, and Maria called mo
a pig, because I wanted to opeu our
basket before the rest of the baskets
w ere opened.
At last dinner time cam© —the “nice
dinner in the woods,” you know. O
ver three thousand little red ants had
got into our dinner, and they were
worse to pick out than fish bones.—
The ice cream had melted; and there
was no vinegar for the cold meat ex
cept what was in my boot, and and of .
course that was of no immediate use*
The music teacher spilled a cup of hot
coffee on Maria’s head, and pulled the .
frizzles out trying to wipe off the cof-'\
fee with his handkerchief. Then I sat
on a piece of raspberry pie, and spoilt and
my white pants, and I concluded X J
didn’t want any tbiug more. llnd to
stand up against a tree the rest of the
afternoon. The day afforded consid
erable variety, compared to ©very-dny v

backs that I did not enjoy it so much
as I might have done
