From Green County, (Ala.)
The Bene. —The many proprieties and uses
of this plant are, perhaps, known to but few
of our inhabitants. Asa plant, it is of much
importance in medicine, and it is also used
for the table; it should be more generally
known and cultivated by evety person, if it
is but for private consumption.
From accounts, it appears to have been
brought to the Western hemisphere hy ne
groes from Guinea. It was cultivated by the
French in St. Domingo, and is, at present,
cultivated mail the West Indies—not large
ly, because the staple productions are more
lucrative. In the United States it is not Well
known, and for that cause, as. it is of more
immediate use at home, than as a commercial j
commodity.
The plant grows four or five feet high, the
stem is fluted, its branches arc short and ex
tend in every direction, and has long leaves
with three prongs; the stalk bears some re
semblance to that of hemp; the leaf of the
Bene possesses proprieties of a very vicious
and mucilaginous nature. It blooms in the
last days of August or first of September.—
'l’he blossom is white, from which grow
eight or twelve quadrangular pods, each con
taining four rows of seeds, the number in a
single pod sometimes amount to more than
one hundred. Here it ripens in October.
The medicinal properties of the plant are
very numerous, as its efficacy has been fully
approved of hv the cures that have been
made through its qualities; an infusion of the
green leaves into pure water has produced
effectual cures of the dysentery, and many
other diseases of the bevels, 'i’he leaves can
be dried for winter and used in the same
cases, but the quantities to be taken must be
larger. They are very emollient and haven
corrosive effect on the humors. I have seen
many cures of large and dangerous wounds
on cattle, by simply bathing or washing them
with decoctions of the leaves, and then bind
ing up the wound with some of the leaves.
The seed is rich or Very oily, a bushel will
yield from two to two and a half gallons of
oil. The oil is much easier extracted from
the seed, than that of flax seed, but it requir
a press of the sapin kind*. A wooden press,,
however, will be sufficient to press one and a
half gallons from a bushel of seed.
This oil is of many uses, it is good for ma
ny diseases; and as for oil to bum, when cla
rified, it is equal to summer sperm oil. It is
also preferred by many who are accustomed
to it, or it is thought.cqual to either olive or
sweet oil, for the table. And some think
that its qualities arc conducive to the regu
lar functions of the stomach.
A person laboring under severe rheumatic
pains has sensibly relieved by light friction
of this oil; it is also good for tumors, biles,
pimples on the face, finally,
For the cure of the grub-worm in horses,!

Friends —Every thing that Cicero has
said in his treatise de Amictia is very fine,
and very good and very true, but he does not
seem to have been altogether aware of the
fulness of meaning in the word friends. A
man invites a few friends to dine with him.
They come, they cat, they drink, they talk,
they exorcise, they depart. They ham
praise and - blame for the cook, and they speak
learnedly of the iVine, and in nine cases out
of ten, somewhat seriously of the host. Foi*
either lie has been too ostentatious in his lib
erality, or too niggardly in his hospitality;
and he seems almost required to ask pardon
of those he has fed, for the manner in which
in has ted them. Then the entertainer be
comes in his turn the entertained and takes
Ids turn also in the delights of culinary criti
cism, and friendly censoriousness. These
ar c friends by the table, cemented by the va
rious combinations of fish, flesh and fowl,
closely adheremg so long as that lasts which
holds them together! but that failing, thev

A man grows ;ich and rises in the world*

he fancies that he has not a friend in the

for him ; but unfortunately he has tired hi*
