The following quaint words of old Robert Southwell, are worthy of beiDg committed to memory : t " Shun delays, they breed remorse ; ' Take thy time while time is lent thee, Creeping snails have weakest force, Fly their faults, lest thou repent thee, Good is best when soonest wrought, Lingering labors come to naught. KHoist up sail while gale doth last. Wind and tide stay no man's pleasure, Seek not time when time is past, Sober speed is wisdom's leisure. After-wits are dearly bought ; Let thy fore-wit guide thy thought." The Fruit Garden. If large fruit is wanted, thining assists. Straw berries are increased in size by water, in in day time. Fruit should be t? n Honr nnlr nprordinn' to SI uncu i." J o (Si If . 1 . t . their strengtn. n a iranspianieu tree grows freely, it may bear a few fru its but bear in mind, growth and great fruitfulness are antagonistic proces ses. Handsome forms are as desira ble in fruit as in ornamental trees. No winter pruning will do this exclu sively. It may furnish the skeleton but it is summer pinching which clothes bones'with beauty. A strong shoot soon draws all its nutriment to itself. Never allow one shoot to grow that wants to be bigger than others. Equality must be insisted noon. Pinch out always as soon as tbey appear, such as would push too strongly ahead, and keep doing so till the new buds seem no stronger than the others. Thus the food gets equally distributed. Whether strawberries should have runners cut off. depends much on kind and soil. Free growing Junds may grow too freely often in rich soils. Allowing them to exhaust themselves, afid the soil by growing ihick together is an advantage. 0Shyer growing kinds would not do well under such treatment Most garden soils are rich; but on the whole, the most profit able and best plan, is(ethe system of cutting rumjers off. If there be any blackberry really earlier than Dorchester, it will be well for those who love this fruit to look out in time and satisfy them selves. They will blossom about the end of June in very early places. Gardeners' Monthly. m w The Best Grape Sets. In answer to a writer in .Horticulturist, who complains of the high price of what ho calls basket layers of grape vines; Mr. Griffith, grape grower of North east, (Pennsylvania, says, " a good, strong, well-grown yearling plant can be gxowu for about ten cents, and as thecutting or bud (except of the 'new and rare' sorts) can be obtained for about a half of a cent, such pines ought to sell for something less than twenty cents. From an experience of more than twenty years, during which time I tiave grown some millions of grape vines, one hundred thousand of which I have fruited in my own vineyard, I am fully able to demonstratethat a welUgrown one year old vine, produced from a single bud, in open culture, is the best and most valuable plant that can begrown. i . o--- (a) To Iurify Water Instantly. A few drops of Solution of per magnate of potassa, zj to y of wa ter, will instantly remove the fetid odor of foul water, depending on or ganic impurities. The water of tanks and cisterns may be purified in this way on sight. The solution is equal ly efficacious to destroy the fetor of 'ulcers and ga'hgrene. Its effect., however, in this case is transient, and the salt is wholly decomposed on its first contact with animal sub stances. The solution possesses a beautiful violet hue and changes the washings of suppurating sores to a blood red color. Further than the transient action referred to ic ap pears to have no effect, for good or evil. Hungarian Yeast. The yeast prepared by the Hungarians will keep for a "whole year. Duringhe sum mer season they boil a quantity of wheaten bran and hops in water; the decoction is not long in fermenting, and, when this has takgn place, they .throw in a sufficient portion of bran to form the whole into a thick paste, which Jhey work intballs that are afterwards dried by a sww heat. When wanted for use they are broken, and boiling water is poured u'pbn them; having stood a proper time, the fluid is decSLted, and in a fit state for leavening bread. A Good Sight of Air. Few per sons would credit the assertions that air can be see?, but it is true never theless. A practical philosopher shows that if on a windy day you hold the back of your saw horizontally at a certain angle, bring your eye to a level with the edgenu a little to the right, yon will see the wiud flow over it in waves. The experiment is best in a bright day. i Whether Petroleum can Su persede Coal. A recent authority on this subject says the notion of eoal being superseded by petroleum as steam fuel is utterly fallacious. Oae might just as well expect to obtain a tun and a half of iron, from a tun of ore, as some of the results put forward by those interested in the matter. Scrubbing of'Gas. We read in a recent report in a chemical journal that Mr. Livesey. read a paper on a new mode of purifying gas. His method is confined to the removal of sulphuretted hydrogen, which be effects by scrubbing the raw gas with desulphu retted Ammonical liquor. l- Why Orchards Deteriorate. Fruit trees, like every thing else whose sustenance is derived from. the earth, are subject to decay, but by improper management they are often killed before their natural productive power is half exhausted. This 'is not the 'fault of the variety planted, the local ity, nor the severity of the weather, except in.rare instances, but of those who have the care artd culture of them. The trouble generally arises from the want of thought or the cupidity of the owner. He plants an orchard, the trees perhaps twenty feet apart. In a lew years, rf they grow well, their branches will cover a large portion of the intervening space. But some ground is still unshaded, an orchardist thinks it is a pity that this should lie waste. The plow is intro duced, and what is the result? Simply this; hundreds and hundreds of the small fibres, reaching out from the main loots in search of sustenance for the trunk, are severed; their absorbing and conducting power is destroyed, and the trees and branches, sustained by their active functions, wither; it ceases to yield its wanted burden of fruit, and, after a few years of languid life, permaturey does. The truth is, the farmer asks too much of h soil; wants it to impart vigor and fruitfulness to from fifty to eighty trees to the acre, Desides giviug him a crop of corn and potatoes an nually.0 To secure the last he cuts the thousands of fibres of his trees with the plow, and then wonders why his orchard decays and dies prema turely! "This is bad policy and poor practice. Do not ask too much from the soirV Give it a chance to nourish and sustain one product to a full development, rather than by a multiplication of them, to secure Sthited samples of immature ones. The earth, properly manured and tilled, is munificent in its gifts to man, but when over tasked by a multiplicity of exactions its response! to his labors will be feeble andunsat isfactorv. Rural New Yorker. Save the FEUTiLiZERS.-Much mat ter of a fertalizing character is suffered to go to wast on farms for the lack of a little care in gathering, preserv ing and applying it to the soil. Being distributed in small parcels at various points, it is regarded as of little conse quence, but it brought together the several amounts would assume an importance which the separate parts failed to indicate. If the parcels of manure one frequently sees about sheds, hog pens, hen roosts, door yards and the like, were carefully gathered and applied to the farm and thegarden, the products of each would j be materially increased, while the cost of the gathering and application would be fully repaid by the superior healthfulness resulting from their re moval. When this refuse matter is not in a proper state for immediate use, it should be gathered into heaps for fermentation the masses being augmented from time to time, as material accumulates, till the prepare at ion of the wheat ground shall call for its application. Save all, should be the ruling idea with the farmer. Rural New Yorker. . Salt for Fattening Swine. A correspondent of the Annalen des Landwirthshaf t, states some interest ting expei iments to test the use of salt in fattening swine. He selected O two pairs of barrow hogs, weighing 200 pounds apiece. One pair receivs ed, with their daily allowance of food, two ounces of salt; the other pair, similarly fed, none. Tn the course ofa week it was easily seen that the salted pair had a much stronger ap petite than the others, and after a fortuight it was increased to two ounces apiece. After four months the weight of the salted hogs was 350 pounds each, while that of the unsalted, five weeks later,' reached only 300 pounds. The experiment was repeated with almost precisely the same results. The author feeds young pigs, according to their age, a quarter of an ounce daily; breeding sows very little during pregnancy, and during the heat of summer with holds it in a great degree from all, as it induces thirst and liability to disease. Influence of wooded Districts on the Descent of Rain. M. Becquerel and bis son have laid before the French Academy the results of sever al observations conducted in the environment of Montargis. They conclude that wooded districts draw down a larger amount of rain than plains. Remembering the fact that when the clouds approach a mountain, or eveu a simple hill, they ascend and then meeting a colder stratum of air become converted into rain, one is led to think that lofty woods may have the same effect. This view the auth ors tested by establishing five observe atories in the district named, of the rainfall. They found that far more falls in the wooded than in the un- wooded district. Rats and Mice. The asphodel, a perrennial plant cultivated for the beauty of its flowers, is said to be very useful in driving away rats and mice, which have such an antipathy to this plant that if their holes be stopped up with it, they will rather die than pass where it has been placed. Who can furnish us with a little of it? Urea. Quantities of urea are now found in the milk of herbivorous animals. The same substance has also been foand to have exuded ooon the skins of pstients in certain diseases. Fall and Winter Importation .

I would inform persons laboring under Caucer, that my wife has for a number of years had a cancer on her left breast, until the three years last past, when it commenced growing, slowly at fir st, but during the past summer its progress became more rapid. It was giving her considerable pain, when, on the 17th of last month she went under treat ment by Dr. Henley of Portland. By his method of treatment the entire cancer was removed from the sound flesh, and on the '2Sth of the same month it came away without pain. The sore is fast healing up, and I hope a complete cure is effected. Her suffering for the first 24 hours under treatment was considerable. She has suffered but little since, and is now entirely free from pain. Dr. Henley : The ebove is at your service, to publish it you think proper.' I direct to you and to Mr. Starkweather.

I went out this morning to my exercises, as usual, at early dawn, and havingoccasion to use an old box, on taking off the cover I put my hand on a scorpion, which immediately re sented the insult by thrusting its sting into the palm of my hand.

THE DIRECTORS OF THIS CELEBRAT ed Medical Institute wish to thank the public for the generous manner in- which they have sustained the Resident Physician with their patronage. It is now six years since the Institute was established; during that time there has been over thirty thousand consultations,- and in all cases, where the disease was curable, A perfect and permanent cure has been performed. Malicious charlatans have open, ed traps in close proximity fo the Institute adopting similar names, hoping to attract the uh weary; but their failure to do so is Eejfectly apparent for the bhsiness has not een effected in the least, but has gone , increasing its usefulness and profits in regu lar ratio. The Resident Ph5'sician has bv careful study and experience within the last few years been successful in discovering new electric remedies which are far superior ttf any before used in the heajing art, and he can warrant them to cure all cases for which1 they are used, or make no charges for ser vices. They will be forwarded to any place in the Pacific States upon a receipt of a let ter stating the disease with symptoms, the age and sex of the patient. The Female medicines, discovered and used by the Resident Physician, are the only remedies which are safe and have the effect. The large number of cases in which they have been used, is a guarantee of their success. Gr eat care should be taken in visiting the Institute, to remember the name. Electropathic Institute, 645 Washington Street 'between Montgomery and Kearny streets. J. II. JOS.ELYN, M. D., Resident Physician. Below are a few of the opinions of the press of California, which are submitted to the Public : Electropathy. The readers of this article are particularly requested to read the ad vertisement of the "Electrophatic Insti tute, 64o Washington street, ban Jbran cisco, to be found in another column of this paper. The remarkable cures that have been effected by Dr. J. II. Josselyn, the Resident Physician of the Institnte during the past six vears, has gained for this es tablishment a reputation that has never been equalled by any medical establishment on this coast. In cases of female irregularities especially, Dr. Josselyn has gained an envi able reputation, and the spacious parlors of the Institute are continually occupied by adies asking relief from their troubles Dr. Josseh n pavs particular attention to the treatment of cases in the interior of the State and linnn receint of a full description of the disease of which the applicant is so unfortunate as to be afflicted, accompanied with the real or a fictitions address, sends per Wells, Fargo & Co., medicines that he warrants to cure the disease, without the slightest injury to the system. He uses no mercury or mineral poisons. The remedies used are known as " Electic," and most of them are of his own discovery. Persons placing themselves under the treatment of Dr. J. H. Josselyn may rely upon not only receiving correct and successful treatment but upon his discretion and secrecy. Red Bluff Independent Jan uary 24th, 1860. Glad to Hear It. For several months past Dr. j. it. josselyn, lor the hist six years, so well known as the Resident Physician of the Electropathic Institute, 645 Washington street, San Francisco, has contemplated re tiring from his position for the purpose ot accepting the position as Visiting Physician in one ot the large hospitals in his native State, Massachusetts. The matter becoming known to a number of scientific gentlemen of San Francisco, who, feeling what a great, loss woud occur to the community by the withdrawal of a physician of such scientific attainments as Dr. Josselyn, a meeting was called at which resolutions highly laudatory of the Doctor's abilities were passed, and a committee of gentlemen appointed to wait upon him,- present the resolutions, and urge him to give' up his intention of leaving tlie State, and continue m his pr esent position. The arguments of the committee facilitated by certain pecuniary propositions, made by the Directors of the Institute, having induc ed the Doctor to return his position ss Resi dent Physician. We announce the success of the negotiations with satisfaction, as it would have been difficult for the numerous patients that heretofore relied on tile Doctcr for scientific and successful treatment la have found another phy S1C10.I1 CM pable of fill ing his place. Democratic Standard, Jan. SI. Read It. We heartily recommend those of our readers who may be suffer ing from disease of long standing, or from complaints brought on by the use of mercury, at some former period of their lives, to read the ad vertisement of fhe Electropathie Institute, to be found in our advertising columns. Dr. J. II. Josselyn, the Resident? Physician, has oc cupied that position for six years, and tak ing into consideration fhe "fuct that aft the Directors of fhe Institute are all medical men of high standing in the community, it may be considered as proof of Dr. Josselyn's ability that he has been retained in the posi tion sb long. Dr. Josselyn is a regular gvad uate, and is also consideied by competent judges to be the most scientfic and success ful electrican in the United States; he will' cure more than half the diseases that flesh is' heir to without the use of any medicine in : all cases where it is deemed necessary, but never uses anything but vegetable prepara tions. The doctor has been very successful in his treatment of diseases incident to fe males, and enjoys a much larger practice in that particular iine than any other phvsician on the Pacific Coast. The Electropathic In stitute is located on one of the most popular' streets in San Francisco, the rooms for the reception ot patients are fitted up in a style of magnificence never before attempted "byv any medical establishment on this coast, and the Institute, is rated in San Francisco as the ' best in the city. Mountain Democrat. The P.est is the Cheapest. This adage will apply as well to the practice of medi cines as to the purchase of merchandise. Thousands on this coast, during the past fifteen years, have h;l their constitutions ruined" by refusing treatment at the hands of first-class physicians,.simply because a gang of htrmbugs, styling themselves doctors, and who are almost destitute of common sense, much more of medical knowledge, offer to ... , .... treat those wno are sick lor a less sum than a regular practitioner. A man that would allow a quack to administer medicine to him, is worse than an idiot, for, in nine cases out of ten, the medicine so given, instead of curing the disease, makes the patient worse and does permanent injury to the system, and oftentimes to such an extent as to pre vent the possibility of curing the original disease.
