A PLEA.S‘ANT’ REMEDY FOR

It has now been known for years, that the
ALBION COR.\' l’I.AS'l‘lEP.,

FFORDS immediate relief, and effects a certain cure for
A Corns. By its application according to accoinpaiiying
directions, the Com is softened, attenuated, and dr:iwii out
by the roots, without the least pain, or any of the trouble
and danger attending the liazardoiis_ zind niclfcctual practice
of extracting the Corn by more cutt1H2- _ ,

The following iiistaiiccs, from iii:iiiy_otlici‘s of a simil_ar
cliaracter, sufficiently attest to the superior cflicacy of Album
Corn Plaster: _

Mr. Farrar. of Boston. was a number of years distressed
by 3 very painful Corn, had applied cverytliiiig _recoiiiniciidcd
without effect, and was rendered a perfect Cripple.‘ On ap-
plying this Plaster he was perfectly cured of his born, and
freed from his laineiiess. , j

A Gentleman of Greenfield was years afflicted with a very
painful Corn, and was cured by one box, after every other

Bostmi, November 24!]:
-SIR, the Pile Ointment and Electiiziry l lately had of you,
has had an excellent effect. I have been troubled for
years with the Piles, and have never found any remedy that.
would compare with yours. The late attack was it seven:

the fullest: confidence as one of the most valuable rernodics
yet discovered, for the cure of the painful and debilitating
complaint of the Piles. Ilc deems it unnecessary to pulilisli
any other tlian the foregoing testimonial in its favour. This

vertigo, headache, loss of appetite, indigestion, and other
marks of debility. _ , ' _

The remedy is quite innocent, and may be administered to
all ages and both sexes. Plain and ample Dircctioris, with a

which consists of two bozo}. one containiiig _:m ()inimr.nt, and
the other an Electuwj/. Price $1 for both articles, or 50 ccnttv

POETRY’.
HA§{VES'P.
God ofthe year !-—with songs ofpraise,
And hearts of love, we come to bless
Thy hoiinteous hand, for thou has shed
Thy manna o’er our wilderness ;--
In early spring time thou didst fling
O’er earth its robe ofblossoming—
And its sweet treasures day by day,
Rose quickening in thy blessed ray.
And now they whiten hill and vale,

And hang from every vine and tree,
Whose pensile branches bending low

Seem bowed in thankfuliiess to thee.
The earth with all its purple isles,
ls answering to thy genial smiles,
And g.-iles of perfume breathe along,
And lift to the their voiceless song.
God of the seasons! Thou hast blest

The land with sonliglit and with showers.
And plenty o’er its bosom smiles

To crown the swc et autumnal hours ;
I‘raise, praise to thee 1 Our hearts expand
To view those blessings ofthy hand,
And on the increasing breath oflove,
Go offto their bright home above.

VISIT TO IVIOUNT I-IOLYOKE.

\Ve make an extract from the “Subcl-
tern’s Furlougli,” descriptive of the scene
which even the fastidous taste, that pro-
iiouiiced the shores of the Hudson uniiiter-
csting could not but admire.

“Leaving Boston on the 25th July
through Brighton, Newton, Lower-Falls,
and to VVestborougli, over a fine sheet of
water by means ofa floating bridge, 1 ar-
rived at the pretty town of \Vorcester late
in the evening. The road ran through a
country of rather improved fertility, and ev-
ery stream was taken advantage of by some
mani.ifactory. Engineers were also busy
along the whole line of it in surveying and
marking out a railw:-iy which was projected
from Boston to Albany, 160 miles, andtlius
aconncctcd line of coinmuiiication would
be opened between Lake Erie and the At-
lantic at Boston. Froin \Vorccster to
Northampton the road passes tlirougli a fine
bold country, but rocky and dillicult of cul-

tivation; the high lands and sides 0 the.»
C

hills bciugsct apart for pasture, and the

valleys and along the banks of the riviilcts,
where the soil was of a more fertile qiiality,
for the growth of grain.
Connecticut and Pcniisylvatiia,
l‘{’.ptltt'.ltlOll of being better l"trmcd than any
other; the average produce being from ‘-35
to 30 bushels ofliidian corn, and front 18
to $30 of wheat. It struck me that the schools
were miicli more numerous than in any
other Statesl have visited. Every district
and village posscssiiig one, whicli generally
occupied a spot on the road side: the chil-
dron were also remarkable for their deco-
rum and manners, bowing and making
courtesics to the passengers as the coach

This State, with
has the

passed. I observed the some respect paid to
well dressed people in most parts oftlic New
England Statcs,and also in the western part
In the first
code which was passed by Connecticut in
1639, six years after the first settlement of
the colony, it was ordered that every village
of fifty families slioold maiiitiiin a good
school for reading and writing; and the
samelaw is also established in Massachu-
setts.
\Vc had a cliarming view of the fine
country, with Amherst College upon an en.-
iiicncc, fromtlie summit ofa bill a few miles
before arriving at the village of lladley,
wliere the regicide judges had lived after
their retreat had been discovered at New
Haven. It is related that when the village
was attacked, during Pliilip’s bloody war
of 1675, it would have probably shared
the fate of Brookfield and other towns
through which we passed on the road ftom
Boston, but for timely appearance ofaven-
erable-. stranger, who by his skill in military
tactics and encouragement to the troops,
repulsed the Indiansl‘ His immediate dis-
appearance after the retreat of the enemy
induced the superstitious inhabitants to
consider that lie was a guardian angel, and
had been expressly ‘sent to their assistance.
It was Colonel Goffe, who in the imei'gen-
cy of the case had ventured to leave his
place of concealment in the cellar of a
Ministcr’s house. _
Between the village and the Con'necti--
rivcr two miles distant, are rich and beauti-
ful meadows, unconfined by fences, but
well planted with fruit trees, and being
over flowed with spring freshcts, which
leave a deposit, the land is as productive as
any in the State. A wooden bridge half
a mile in length, crosses the river into the
prettiest of American towns, Northamp-
ton. Nowhere did I see such beautiful
villages as in New England, of which Coti-
cord in New Hampshire, \Vorcester and
Northampton, rank prc-eminent. The sit-
uation of the last is a charming one, in a
rich country, upon a noble river, and steam
iiavigatioii to the ocean. The streets are
unlike any thing English. Frame liouscs
possess aneatuess and cleanliness of ap-
pearance which it is impossible to import
to our heavy town abodes ; and as the ma-
terial of which they are built can be motild-
ed into more elegant: forms, the American
houses are generally ornamented with light
balconies and porticos, supported by col-
umiis of the Doric and Corintliian order.
I thought Northampton the most delightful
and enviable place Iliad ever seen; it is
the very realization of 11 ‘ms in tube,’ the
streets being so thickly planted with trees of
a primeval growth that their bouglis are al-
most interwoven across the road, and the
neat private dwellings and shops beneath
them appear like a series of cottages and
gardens. The town has been settled 180
years, and contains above 2000 inliabitants.

,1}:

On the opposite side of the river, which is

crossed at South Hadley by a horse ferry,
two miles distant, is Mount Holyoke,
1070 feet above the bed of the river, and
a favorite resort of travellers of pleasure.
Seven carriages filled principally with la-
dies, arrived at the foot of the mount at the
same time as myself. The road winds a-
long the side of it through a dense forest of
trees, until within 400 feet of the summit,
where it is necessary to dismount and clam-
her over rough loose stones and logs of wood
for the remaining distance. But the scene
whicli bursts upontlie spectator’s view, as
he steps upon the bare black rock on the
suminit—a scene of sublime beauty, of
which but an inadequate description could
be conveyed—amply repays him for the troub-
le and fatigue. A more charming day
could not have been desired : it was one
oftliose clear American atmospheres which
are unkown in our own hazy clime, with
just sufiicient light floating clouds to throw
a niomentary shadow over parts r-ftlie rich
vale,which lay spread out beneath in all the
various hues of a quickly ripening harvest.
lnnuincralile white houses, and spires of
churches, were seen scattered amongst the
trees and along the banks of the smooth
but rapid Connecticut (up which a solitary
steamer was slowly creepingy) which river
in its fantastic and capricious windings re-
turned within a few yards ofthe spot, water-
ing two or three miles of the vale——or, after
being concealed at intervals by the hills and
woods, would again appear with its silvery
surface glistening amidst the dark foliage
at the distance of many miles. These ob-
jects, and above all, the high rocky moon
tains,contrasted with the smiling valleys, al-
together formed one of the most magnifi-
cent panoramas in the world. Places 160
miles apart from each other were distinctly
visible. I recognized the bluff rocks near
New IIEIVGYI, ateighty miles distance,tliougli
only four hundred feet in height, and could
easily trace their rugged bold outline upon
the clear horizon.

I had carried my pencils and sketch

But many Smiths and Tliompsoiis, more

The descent is even more dillicult than the

I found it quietly standing there, I could not
but admire the complete manner in which
he was trained. Arriving at the skirt of t_he'
wood, and imagining that from this point
I could take a good sketch of the rich
vale, with Northampton, and a mountain
in the back ground, I disniounted, and
placing the bridle over a post in the
fence, sat down upon the grass, and
commenced preliminary operation; but
liearing a noise I turned round and per-
ceived that my well trained steed which
evidently had not been accustomed to this
second part of the day’s performance,
had broken the bridle, and was galloping
off at full speed. Gathering up my peri-
cils and rubber, I pursued, and at last
succeeded in driving him up into the
angle of a worm fence, where he took
up a most impregnable position, defend-
iug it resolutely with his heels. To add
to my discoinfiture, some ladies with
whom I had been conversing on the sum-
init of the mountain came down at the
moment I was busily engaged in recon-
noitering the ground, prior to making an
attack to the best possible advantage,
and seeing them laughing lieartily, I felt
myself in honor bound (lest they should
imagine that Iliad been thrown) to walk
tip and explain the merits of the case to
them. After much manazuvering, I sue-
ceeded in scouring him, and tying the
bridle on with my liandkerchief, return-
ed to Northampton without the intended
sketch.

THE TEA PLANT.

The ten plant is anative of China, of
Jappan and probably of both. It has been
used among the natives of the former coun-
try from time immemorial. It is only in a
praticular tract of the Chinese empire that
the plant is cultivated ; andthis tract, which
is situated on the eastern side, between the
30t:li and 33d degrees of north latitude, is
distinguished by the natives as “the tea
country.” The more northern part of Chi-
na would he too cold; further south the
heat would be too great. There are, how-
ever, a few small plantations to be seen
near to Canton.

The Chinese give to the plant the name
oftclia-, or the. It is propagated by them
from seeds, which are deposited in rows,
four or five feet asunder; and so uncertain
is their vegetation, even in their native cli-
mate, that it is found necessary to sow as

The ground between each row is always
free from weeds, and the plants are not al-
lowed to attain a higher growth than ad-
mits of the leaves being conveniently gath-
ered. The first crop’ of leaves is not collec-
ted until the third year after sowing; and
when the trees are six or seven years old,thc
produce becomes so inferior that they are
removed to make room for a fresh success-
ion.

The flowers of the tea are white, and
somewhat resemble the white rose of our
hedges ; these flowers are succeeded by soft
green berries or pods, containing each from
one to three white seeds. The plant will
grow in either low or elevated situations,
lnit always thrives best and furnishes leaves
oftlie finest quality when produced in light
stony ground.

The leaves are gathered from one to four
times during the year, according to the age
of the trees. Most commonly there are
three periods of gathering; the first com-
mences about the middle ofApril ; the se-
coiid at Midsummer; and the last is ac-
complished during August and September.
The leaves that are earliest gathered are of
the most. delicate color and most aromatic
flavor, with the least portion of either fibre
or bitterness. Leaves of the second gather-
ing are ofa dull green color, and have less
valuable qualities than the former; while
those which are lost collected are of a
dark green, and possess an inferior value.
The quality is further influenced by the age
of the wood on which the leaves are borne,
and by the degree of exposure to which they
have been accustomed : leaves from young
wood, and those most exposed, beingulways
the best.

The leaves as soon as gathered, are put
into wide shallow baskets, and placed in
air, or wind, or sunshine, during some hours.
They are then placed on a flat cast iron
pan, over a stove heated with cliarcoal,
from a lialfto three quarters of a pound of
leaves being operated on at one time.—
These leaves are stirred quickly about with
a kind of brush, and are then as quickly
swept off the pan into baskets. The next

received opinion, that the distinctive color
of green tea is imparted to it by sheets of
copper, upon which it is dried. For this
bclieftliere is not,liowever,the smallest foun-
dation iii fact, since copper is never used
for the purpose. Repeated experiments
have been made to discover, by an uncr-
ring test, whether the leaves of green tea
contain any impregnation of copper, but in
no case has any trace of this metal been
detected.

The Chinese do not use their tea until it
is about a year old, considering that itis too
actively narcotic when new. Tea is yet ol-
der when it is brought into‘ consumption in
England, as, in addition to the length of

MURDFR.-"-At an early hour on 'l‘hursday
morning, a gentleman called on It physician
of this city, to communicate intelligence of
a most alarming occurrence; he said that
a dead body had been found in a bain,in
the suburbs of the city, that it was strongly
suspectecl that some poor man had been
murdered, and that he thought the Doctor
ought to examine the corpse.

The Doctor told him that he prelbi-red
waiting until he received an order from the
select men ;- the select men were according-
ly sent for, and two of the town oflicers,
soon rode up and requested the medical
gentleman to accompany them to the tra-
gic spot.

The three gentlemen travelling in search
of the horrible, soon arrived at the barn,
and immediately proceeded to examine the
murdered body; with all due circumspec-
tion they approached a suspicious looking
box, and the town oflicers, with staring
eyes, and bloodless countenances gazed up-
on a man’s leg! Wliere was the rest of the
body? Wliere the murderer’! Should the
country be searched I--should the Mayor
offer a handsome reward 'l Should—but an
end was put to all suppositions on the sub-
ject hy the pliysician, who, on examining
the leg. found it was a mere anatomical
preparation, that had been prepared at some
medical college, and had been deposited in
a box in the born by a medical student.

It seems that some person had entered
the burn to borrow a plough, and on tuiii---
ing over a box, was terribly alarmed to see
this leg roll out;- he had no idea of waiting
until the rest of the body made its appear-
ance, but as soon as he saw the dead limb,
made the best use of his live ones.

Importance of Newspapers.--“Tli‘e ba-
sis of our government,” says Mr. Jeffer-
son in a letter to Col. Carrington, “be-

ing the first opinion of the people, the
very first object should be to keep" that
right; and where it left me to tlefildc
whether we shouldghuve a government,
without newspapers ‘or newspapers with-
out: a government, I .sl1oiild not hesitate
a moment to prefer the latter." Dr. Juliu-
son, than whom there perhaps never
was a man more closely observant of the
world, in speaking of newspapers, gives
them a preference as medium to all others.
He observes, that nothing addsso much
to the glory of a country as a free inde-
pendent press, which faithfully records
all accidents by flood and field, aids the
cause, adds dessemination of knowledge;
and while it amuses also instructs, he
adds, who is there that will neglect an
object so worthy of regard?
