CURE FOR DEA FNESS.

Mr. S. W. Jewet, writing to the Boston Cultiv tor, says :— At about three years of age, a daughter of the on. Daniel Baldwin, of Montpelier, became very deaf in both ears. In conversaiion it was quite dillicult to make her hear, and she continued in this wretched state until about eighteen years of age. when an Indian doctor chanced to see her, who told the mother, Mrs. B. that the oil of an onion and tobacco would cure her. if prepared as follows :— Divide an onion, and from the centre take out a piece the size of a common walnut fill this cavity with a fresh quid of tobacco, and bind the onion together In its usual shape ; roast it, then trim of the outer part until you come to that portion slightly coloured or penetrated by the tobacco; mash up the balance with the tobacco: put it into a

hial. Three drops of this oil, Mrs. B. informed me, she ropped into the car, after her daughter had retired to bed,

which immediately gave her considerable pain which lasted for some ti ofore morning however, her hearing was so extremely delicate and sensitive, that she suffer by the sound and noise in common conversation! his she a on overcame, and for more than three years past her hearing has been entirely restored, to the great joy of her parents and friends! Having been acquainted wiili the family for many years, I cannot, in justice to the alllicied, refrain from making this simple and olfectnal remedy for deafness known.

Conrosirr or \Va1'I:a.—Nor is the hailsione less soluble in earth than in air. Placed under a bellglaes in‘ twice its weight of lime, it gradually melts and disappears; and there remain four parts, instead of three, of perfectly dry earth under the glass. Of a plaster of Paris statue, weighing five pounds, more than one good pound of solidified water. Even the precious opal is but a mass of [int and water, combined in the proportion of nine grains of the earth ingredient to one of the laid. Ofan acre of clay land a foot eep, weighing about one thousand two hundred tone, at least four hundred tons are water: and even ofthe great moutitain chains with which the globe is ribbed, millions of ions, are water solidified in earth.

ter, indeed, exists around us to an extent. and under.con- ditiooa which escape the notice of cursory observers. When the duyer bys of the dry sslter one hundred pounds each of alum, carbonate 0 soda, and soap, he obtains, in exchange for his money, no less than forty-five ends of water in the first lot, sixty-four pounds in the second, and a variable quantity, sometimes amounting to seventy-three and a half pounds, in the third. Even the transparent air we breathe, contains, in ordinary weather about I ve grains ofwater diffused through each cubic foot of its bult, and this rarefied water no more were the air than the solidified water weta the lime or opal in which it is absorbed.—Quarterly Review.

I1‘ iias stun truly said, “ The lirst being that rushes to the recollection of a soldier or a sailor, in hilt heart’s difficulty, in his mother. She clings to his memory and affection in the midst of all the forgetfiilness and hardihood induced by aroving life. The last message he leaves is for her, his last whisper breathes her name. 'I he mother. as she instils the lessons 0 piety and filial obedience into the heart of her infant son, should always feel. that her labour is not in vain. §he may drop inot the grave, but she has left behind her an influence that will work for her. The bow is broken, but the arrow is sped and will do its allies.”

Prrut.aitcr.—Persons of acaptious and qusrrelsome dis- position are dangerous associates, the pests of private company, and notorious troublers of the public peace. 'I‘hey snarl at every sentiment that does not coiticide with their preconceived opinions, are extremely apt to enter into legal litigation. and, like the struck tinder, kindle into resentment on the slightest provocation, proceed to execute revenge with instantaneous precipitanoe, or challenge even a former friend to risk his life in the detested duel.

A man asked a celebrated balloonist what he would do if in want of refreshments, in ‘us aerial voyage, as there were no hotels. He instantly replied that he should have on occasion for them ; he would stop at some of the “ castles in the air.”
