COLD FEET.
No one should travel in winter with
tight-fitting shoes; they arrest the cir
culation ; this induces coldness, caus
ing a general}' feeling of discomfort all
over the body, even making the mind
fretful and irritable. A wooleu stock
ing will alone keep the feet warmer
than the same stockings and a pair of
tight boots besides. If a person has a
good circulation, the feet will get warm
of themselves if the tight boots arc re
moved. !Xo one can go to bed with
cold feet without doing themselves a
positive injury; and it is always best
in winter-time, even if the feet do not
feel cold, at bed-time, to draw oft' the
stockings and hold the feet to the fire
or stove, rubbing them meanwhile with
the hand, until they are perfectly dry
and comfortably warm in every part;
it is a pleasant operation of itself, and
ought not to he dispensed with for a
single night from October to May; it
is one of the best anodynes; it allows
a person to fall asleep in five minutes,
who, with cold feet, would have re
mained awake for half an hour or more,
and even thou the sleep will be unre
freshing and ui’eamy.
The feet are so far from the center of
the system, that the circulation in them
is easily checked, and iben diseases be
gin; hence, it is of great importance
that persons in going to their place of
business, with the expectation of re
maining in several hours, should pull
of their tight-fitting boots, and put OJJ
a pair of easy-fitting slippers or shoes;
and they will find that on putting on
their boots again at night to go home,
it is done with considerable difficulty.
This is because the feet have swollen
during the day, a natural result from
the blood and other fluids nccumulat
mg m them, partly lrom tncir uemg in
a standing position for a considerable
portion of the time, and partly from
the unrestrained condition of the foot,
the circulation is more free and health
ful ; but if a tight boot is kept on all
ila'. it becomes more and more coin
pressed every hour, and by night the
circulation is almost arrested, the feet
are cold, and clammy, and damp, and
this soon becomes their constant con
dition, instead of a few hours towards
the close of day: hut this very change
too a loose slipper or old shoe, on ar
riving at shop, or store, or office, will,
in a very short time he followed by
lameness, or stiff joints, or a cold, im
pregnating the whole system, unless
the slippers or shoes are first made very
warm. Common sense points out tlie
fact that harm must result from chang
ing a loose, cold shoe for a warm one.
A fruitful cause of colds is the wear
ing during the winter, while out of
doors, boots or shoes with thinner
soles, even iftlie weather is milder.
When a thicksoled shoe is put on in
the early part of the winter, it should
be used until first of May, or at least
until the winter is broken up. In the
effort to keep the feet warm, tlic exper
ience of one man is no safe guide to
another. Some keep their feet warm
during the coldest weather by wearing
stocking; others are more successful
by wearing woollen hose. The only
rational plan is for eaeli one to experi
ment on himself, and observe the result
closely. Others, again, succeed best by
-wearing two pair of those at the same
ruin nf wnrtlrn thi* ofllPl* of COT
(on; these differences arise from the
fact that the circulation of some is more
vigorous than that of others; some arc
on their feet all the time; others sit
almost all day.—[Hall’s journal of
Health.

Give her the Pants.
An Ohio paper is responsible for the
; following:
Not long ago. not so far from Mil
j lersburg as it might be, a good hearted
i man and his long-tongued style-talk
i ing wife, attended a social party. Al
! most every three minutes his wife
would check her husband thus:
•Now, William, don’t talk so loud.’
•Come? William, don’t get noisy over
there:’
•Say, William, let the girls alone, and
sit by me.’
At last forheavMicc ceased to he a
virtue, and the hus mind, who was really
pitied by all in the room, rose and said :
•I beg pardon of the company, hut as
my wife insists on being boss, it is right
that she should have these.’
And lie deliberately took oil'liis pants,
handed them to licr. and sat down in
his hoots and drawers.
The company was astonished; the
women burst into tears; the happy
couple soon went home; hut neither ol
1 them wore pants.
How the affair was settled wc can
! not tell, but the last time we saw Wil
: liam lie had the pants on. 11 e are in
dined to think she will not boss bin

Directions for Husbands.
If your wife love3 you, you need read
do further, for these directions are not
intended for you. You need no direc
tions- You can get drunk as often as you
please, be guilty of robbery, assassination,
battle, murder, sudden death and privy
conspiracy, and make your wife believe,
by means of a single kiss, that you are
one of the saints of tho earth -
For those husbands who only apparent
ly, not really, have mastered the hearts of
their wives, we lay down the following
directions.:
If on your wedding nigh you failed to
get drunk and bneak all your mother-in
law's crockery, do something equally out
rageous as soon as possible. You will then
always be able to scare your wife into sub
mission by reminding her of what you had
done, and what you may be provoked to
do again.
If you are fond of smoking a pipe, and
your wife complains of your breath on ac
count of it, cut onions pit will make her
forget the pipe.
If you have a baby, groan as if your
last hour had come, whenever ft begins
squalling in the night. You will not then
be called upon to walk it.
As sick rooms are not pleasant, always
; have business that will keep you down
town the whole day, and half the night,
when your wife is sick.
When you get home at four o'clock in
the morning, after “fighting the tiger,” or
playing a “game of draw” with your
friends, ,teli your wife your business is
getting so large that the labor of carrying
it on is breaking your constitution, and
you must take in a partner; but when she
mentions that new dress, shake your head,
and talk about economy and hard times
If your wife is very religious, and fond •
of entertaining ministers, take advantage j
of the first opportunity to insult one ofj
; these gentleman in your own house. It j
I can be done with perfect impunity, and
will deter others from calling during meal
1 hours, or any other time.
If your circumstances are such that yon
find it necessary to practice economy, be
gin with your table, and dine every day
at a restaurant.
There nro certain little things that must
be done daily by one or the other of the
married couple. Impress upon your wife
that the performance of these is very dis-;
tasteful to you, and so furce her to attend
: to the whole of them herself. Among i
these is the kindling of the fire in the j
morning, if you have no servant. Lie in
bed and let your wife do it. Also, wait
for her to pour out the water for you to
wash, brush your clothes, and place your
slippers by a chair before the fire.
When all is prepared, get out of bed
and dress yourself, taking care not to show
by word or look that you appreciate the
little attentions that have been shown you.
But if you find that any of them have been
overlooked, be very cross and fretful dur
ing the rest of the morning.
When you are asked to go out to make
j an evening call, complain of a very bad,
j headache.
Make it a point never to praise any dish
I on the table, especially the one to which
j you know your wife has given her person
! al attention, Such a course will suppress
any lurking vanity there maybe in her
nature.
When you are in a room together, al
ways occupy the most comfortable seat,
after having offered it to her in such a
1 way that she can’t with any propriety, ac
cept it.
Give her the choice of atiy disli fou arc
carving, after having repeatedly informed
her what parts you yourself prefer.
Keep her in perfect ignorance as to the
condition of your business, although she
is as deeply interested in it as you are, and
no injury can result to it by your telling
her all about it. By keeping it to your
self you have the satisfaction of feeling
that you are superior to her, because you
know what she does not.
If from any cause you are detained at
home, and find the time heave on your
hands, it may be that your wife is interest
ed in a novel that she is about through
with. Take it from her as if you wished
merely to glance at it; sit down and read
it bv the hour. She, in the meantime,
v
! may amuse herself by sowing.
If you do not keep a carriage, and your
I wife tells you that she and the children
need an airing, tell her to wait for the
death of her friends, when she may ride
to the funeral free of cost.
fcaT A writer dwelling upon the im
portance of small things says, “that lie
always taken notice even of a straw,
i especially if there happens to be a sher
rv cooler at rm» curl of It."
A Lock of Hair.
Few things in this weary world are so
delightful as keepsakes. Nor do they
ever, to the heart at least, nor to our eye,
lose their tender, their powerful charm.
IIow slight, how small, liow tiny a memo
rial saves a beloved one from oblivion,
worn on the finger or close to (he heart,
especially, if they he dead. No thought
is so insupportable as that of entire, total,
blank forgetfulness; wheu the creatures
that once laughed, and sang, and wept to
us, close to our side, or in our very arms,
is as if her smile, her voice, her tears, her
kisses had never been. She and theYn all
swallowed up in the dark nothingness of
the dust.
Of all the keepsakes, memorials, relics,
most dearly, most devotedly do we love a
little lock of hair. And, oh, when the
head it beautified has long mouldered in
the dust how spiritual seems the undying
glossiness of the sole remaining ringlet!
All else gone to nothing, save and except
that soft, smooth, burnished and glorious
fragment of the appareling that once hung
in clouds and sunshine over an angel’s
brow. Ay, a lock of hair is far better than
any picture : it is a part of the beloved ob
ject herself; it belonged to the tresses that
often, long long ago, may have all been
suddenly disheveled, like a shower of sun
beams, over your beating breast. Hut
how solemn thoughts sadden the beauty
once so bright, so refulgent. The longer
you gaze on it the more pensive grows the
expression of the holy relic ; it, seems to
say, almost upbraidingly, “Weepest thou
no move for me !’’ and then, indeed, a tear,
true to the imperishable affection in which
all nature once seemed to rejoice, bears
witness that the object towards which it
yearned is no more forgotten; now that
she has hecn dead for so many long weary
days, months, years; that she was forgot
ten during one hour of absence, that came
like passing clouds between us an the sun
shine of her living, her loving smiles.

Good Advice.
The Norfolk Day Bool; gives the fol
lowing excellent advice to our planting
friends. J>y way of self-protection, they
should do two things:
.1. Let them diversify their productions;
let them blend farming with planting. In
the place of the unwise system which has
heretofore obtained of planting all their
available land in cotton, let them sow an
ample breadth in corn. In place of buy
ing their meat, and bread and butter, and
cheese, and stock from abroad—from the
North and West—let them raise all these.
They will not be so rich, perhaps, as by
the one crop system, but the elements of
substantial wealth will be theirs ; and their
comforts will he vastly beyond those enjoy
ed when ail products except cotton are un
wisely disdained.
2. J n order to meet the tax with its true
remedy, let every man in reach of water
interest himself in local manufactures,
lie will thus enlarge his own profits, in
crease population, and attract skilled labor
to the South. When once this tiJe oi
skill and money sets 'towards us, brought
hither by the special attraction of cotton,
the flow will he strong and voluminous
For the escape from the cost of transports
non anu incidental cnarges doth ways, on
the taw material, and the manufactured
goods, will enable us to undersell the fac
tories of Lowell or Lawrence ; and there
will always be a demand in the South for
Southern fabrics greater than the supply
Now these are not idle speculations and in
genious themes. The facts sustain them.
In all the cotton growing States factories
arc springing up like the men of llhod
erick l)hu, in the mountain pass. Georgia,
it is estimated, has seventy-two, cither in
actual operation or process of construction;
while there is a movement among some of
the capitalists of Massachusetts herself in
the direction we have indicated.
jggy- Tliat it pays to advertise, is a fact
that is pretty well established. The edi
tor of the Brandon (Wis.) Times, gives
his opinion in this wise.
“Docs it pay to advertise? Our experi
ence teaches us that it does. A week
ago we advertised fur a boy to learn the
printers trade. Imagine our suprise(l) on
Monday morning on finding at our domicil
an applicant weighing just eight pounds
and a half! we would not guarantee to all
such returns by patronizing the printer,
but this is one instance where it was a
success,
_— -*<£S>* -
A negro on tial before the May
or Lynchburg, for striking another ne
! gro, gave as an excuse the fact.that the
1 negro lie struck belonged to the “old
! issue” (free before tbc war), and therc
! fort? tried to in^pose on him.
Making Caster Oil Out of Culled
Pussons,”
The Washington City Star says: -As
strange as it may appear, many of the col
ored people here cherish the belief that
there is a class of physicians who practice
“burking,” aud are addicted to the dissect
ing of live human subjects for the purpose
of manufacturing castor oil, and that for
this purpose the doctors prefer bodies with
a dark cuticle. This opinion is so firmly
impressed on their minds, that no amount
of reasoning will remove it, and wo know
of many of them, particuarly juvenile Afri
cans, who will not budge a foot outside their
dwellings after dark. An otherwise in
telligent “Topsy,” employed by us, de
scribes the modus operandi of these imagi
nary ghouls, by saying. “I)ey steal upon
culled pussons unaware, clap a plaster over
deir_mout to keep urn from hollerin, and
dr on drag uni way to whar dey lay um on
u table and cut up, aud deu bile uni down
for ile.” This is a cheerful notion for
those invalids who use the oil of the palma
christa been as a cathartic. /
The Annapolis ltepublican states that a
similar belief prevails among the colored
people in that section, and it probably ex
ists elsewhere. How it originated it is
impossible to tell.
The same thing is generally believed
among the negroes here, and we presume
the mysterious disappearence of negroes
in every part of the South for some months
past is the consequence of this new manu
facture. Another fact strongly tending to
confirm the statement is that castor oil is
a drug in the market, aud that its price ]
lias inateiially depreciated recently: Fur- j

ist, overheard by an intelligent “contra
band,” that the full blooded African made
a much better article of castor oil than the
one of mixed blood, and really a better ar
ticle than the castor oil plant, places the
matter almost beyond doubt. Wc intend
; to change our mcdiciue, and will hereafter

tor oil. Castor oil never was a very good

A Specimen of Irish Wit.
A son of the Emerald Isle, but not
him self green, was taken tip (for lie was
at the time down) near Manassas Junc
tion, by a scouting party. He wore no
special uniform of cither army, but
looked more like a spy than a volun
teer, and on this ground was arrested.
•‘Who are you—what is your name,
and where arc you from ? were the first
questions put to him by the armed par
tv. Pal rubbed, his head, and answered :
‘lie gorry, giutleinen, this is ugly
questions to answer, anyhow, and be
; fore 1 answer any of them, I'd be afther
axin ye. by ye're lave, the same tiling.’
‘Well.’ says the leader, ‘we are of
Scott's army, and belong to Washing
ton.’
“All right,' said Pat,‘I knowed we
was gintlemcn, for I am the same.
Long life to Giueral fwott.’
! ‘Ay,' replied the scout, ‘now, you
rascal, you are a prisoner,’and he seized
Pat by the shoulder.
‘.1-low is that, are we not friends?’
inquired Pat.
‘No.’ was the answer. ‘We belong
to General Beauregard's army.'
‘Then, ve told me a lie. mv bovs. and
i thinkiu’ it might he so, I told ye ano
| lher. Now tell me the truth, and I'll
j tell you the truth, too.’
‘ Well, we belong to the State of South

‘So do I!' promptly responded Pat;
‘and to all other Stab's of the country*
too; and there I’m thinking I heat the
whole of ycz. l)o you think I'd come
all the way from Ould Ireland to be
long to one State, when 1 had a right

Pat was taken to the camp, but as
nothing could ho made to appear against
him, was discharged.
