My little son, eleven years old, bait had som on his ears, neck and arms for five years. They were much of the time very distressing, and we feared they would kill him.

At first a swelling would appear, then it would break and make a running sore, which would not heal. They became very loathsome and often painful they stopped bis growth and seemed to undermine his health, so that he became feeble and sickly. We tried physicians and medicines, but they did no good. A clergyman in our neighborhood, who had seen remarkable cures by your Cherry Pectoral, advised us to try your Sarsaparilla, and we did. The smallest sores showed symptoms of healing in about two weeks in two more toey had healed, and iu two mouths Uie child was aa well as any body.

He now enjoys perfect health, with no remnant of the disorder about him that we can discover. If you. sir, are a parent, yon may well believe that we shall not soon forget you. Very truly, your humble servant, JNO. W.

A few chimneys seud up a slow wreathing column of smoke, which growl every moment paler as the new kindled fires below burn brighter. The clouds hang low on the mountain on every side. The ragged edges comb the mountain Bide, and look as if they must sway the trees in their course. Yet they move with such soft and drowsy measure that not a leaf stirs. Will there be rain to-day? The heavens overhead look like it.

But the Barometer says, no. Then a few roumls with the scythe before breakfast. We must make hay while the sun shines. The day passes and the night. With another morning, and that Saturday morning, comes up the sun without a single cloud to wipe Ids face upon.

The air is clear and crystal no mist is on the river, no fleece upon the mountain, yet the Barometer is sinking, and has been sinking all night. It has fallen more than a quarter of an inch, and continues slowly to falL Our plana must be laid accordingly. We will cut the clover which is to be cured in the cock, and prepare to get in all of yesterday's mowing before 2 o'clock. Not tUl about ten o'clock is any change seen. Then the sun's lipbl seems pale, and, although no cloud is before it, some invisible vapor has struck through the atmosphere.

By and by clouds begin to form, loose, vast, cumbrous, that slowly roll and change their unwieldy shapes, and take on every shade of color that lies between the darkest leaden-gray and the most brilliant silver-gray. While catching our hasty meal, affaire grow critical. The sun is hidden. The noon is dark. All hands are summoned.

All girls and ladies come forth to the fray. IMicate hands are making lively work, raking up the dispersed grass, and tlying with right nimble steps here aud there, bent ou cheating the rain out of its expected prey and now the long winnowB are formed. Tbe last load of hay from the other fields has just rolled triumphantly into the barn. A drop pat down on my face, another and another. Look at those baseless mountains that tower in the west, black as ink at the bottom, glowing like snow at the top edge what giirautic evolutions They open, unfold, change form, Bash lightning through their space, close up their black gulfs, ami move on with irresistible but silent march through the heat ed air.

Far in the north the rain has begun to sheet down upon old Gray-Lock I But the sun is shining through the shower, and changing it to a golden atmosphere, in which the mountain lifts up its head like a glorified martyr amid his persecutions Only one look can we spare, and all of us run for the house, ami in good time. Down comes the flood, and every drop is musical. We pity the neighbors, who, not warned by the barometer, are racing aud chasing to save their out-laying crops. An extract of a letter from DR. ARN'OT, in BrantTt F.

H. S. of London and Emyrtupedia of Arts, Science and Literature. Dr. Arnot says he was himself present at the time.

The sun had just set with a pleasant appearance, closing a beautiful afternoon and the usual mirth of tbe evening watch proceeded, when the Captain's order came with all haste to prepare for a storm. The barometer had b-gun to fall with appalling rapid ity. As yet the oldest sailors had not perceived even a threatening in the sky, and were surprised at the extent and hurry of the preparations but the required measures were not completed, when a more awful hurricane burst upon them, than the most experienced hail ever braved. Nothing could withstand it. Such, for a few hours, was the mingled roar of the Btorm above, and of the waves around, and the incessant peals of thunder, that no human voice could lie heard and amid the consternation the trumpet sounded in vain.

On that awful night, but for a little tube of mercury, which had given warning, neither the strength of the noble ship, nor the skill and energies of Ik commander, could have saved one man to tell the tale. From PROF. PILMMAX. The fall of the mercury warns the mariner to put his ship In trim for a storm, ami conveys the same kind of information to a farmer and enables him seasonably to provide for unfavorable changes in the weather, by housing his animaUand protecting his crop.

We have been shown a new ami very Itrautiful barometer, the invention or Mr. T. of this city, who has succeeded in rendering this instrument erfectly portable, (which we ludieve is the only one since the first conception of thu barometer by Torricelli, a pupil of the celebrated Galileo, more than two centuries ago,) and, to demonstrate the practicability of his discovery, Mr.

Timby made his barometer his travelling companion in Europe, and finally expressed it from Paris to New York, without the slightest injury. This we regard as a practical demonstration of its portability, and we bespeak for it a speedy and universal adoption, especially among agriculturists, they more than any other class, (save the mariners,) need the counsel of this faithful monitor which leaves nothing to conjecture, but tells with promptness of the coming storm long before a threatening is visible in the sky. We are told that this instrument is being manufactured upon a mamiificent scale, and for a price that places them within the reach of the million. Scientific American. Volumes of corroborative testimony, from practicat and scientific men, might be added to the above had we spare and were it necessary.

The attempt to portray to the practical farmer the manifold adnmtitgc.t and economy to be realized from a timely admonition of approaching rain in haying and harvesting, (and in fact from the opening of spring to the closing of winter) we should only be repeating instances that occur daily in the history of every farmer similar in character to the one related hy Mr. in which case a single admonition more Hum pays the cost of an itistrumcnt that vill last for ages.

The unanimous favor which has attended the introduction of WHKELER WILSON'S FAMILY SKWINU MACHINE, is sufficient evidence of ita excellence. It is needless now to Bay, that this useful instrument is becoming a domestic institution: the fact is recognized by its successful use in thousands of fam-lies in every rank in life. To those who have hitherto refrain ed from availing themselves of its advantages, it may not be miss to say, that its utility is not a problem to be solved, but a success already realized.

The highest testimony is constantly offered, confirming the verdict which has given Uiis instrument so wide and enviable a reputation. This Machine is conceived on a principle entirely original, be ing specially and admirably adapted to the most perfect work on every kind of material and having been subjected to a six years test of the most searuliing character by families, and in various branches of manufacture, with distinguished Buccess, it is believed, that, in all the great points requisite to a complete and practical Sewing Machine, it cannot be approached in ex cellence. Among the undoubted advantages it possesses over all others, may be named the following: 1. Its simplicity of construction, and consequent freedom from derangement and need of repairs. 2.

Its unexampled rapidity and ease of operation. 3. Its noiseless movement. 4. The great variety of purpose to which It can be applied, which can be achieved by no other mechanical means.

And 6. The pre-eminent BEAUTY and DURABILITY of the work. In order to place it within the reach of all, the prices are greatly reduced, and a new style 1b offered at Fifty Dollars. rOK SALE AT S28 WASniNCTON STREET, CORNER OF SUMMER, (Ovua Josis, Ball Poos's.) J. E.
