Yxllow Pins.—The rapid disappearance of the
pine forest, under the axe of the planter and timber
getters of the Southern States, known ss tbe yellow
jnne among ship builders, is beginning to sttrsot
the attention of the public.
For more than a quarter of a century *he United
States Government nasJjeeiLguarding and protect-
ing the live oaks that grow within a limited dis-
tance of the Beaboard, and yet it isa well-estabiised
fact tbe live oaks are of a much more1 rapid growth
than the yellow pine.
It hss been estimated by the timber-getters that
large pine, sufficient for the spare orbeamfefi
first class ship, requires Horn two to thiee -hundre<
^ grow. '

sh!i.1; and í kt«%ÍM«£radded, find die wBólé
left lor a week er moi«, unti! the plants are
acclimatized and ure growing nicely. When thus
ready; the "stock" may be added by degrees, until
the proper balance of animal and vegetable ttfe is
effected. In both marine and fresh water Aquaria,
a macona of fongodií%íóirlil' W 'sion developed,
kodhom or salt water snail.
f: My first attempt was with gold fiab, but not be-
ing able to obtain the proper plants, I stocked a
confectioner's glass jar with a iewodier plants (rom
the sem, and there soon appeared a large mimber
of small animal, which, viewed by lamp light, were
very interesting. I have found that very deep and
narrow tanks, of various shapes, have not succeed'
ed so well as those having a mueh greater breadth
and depth. The tank which I successfully storked
was ol an octagonal form, of thlrty iitches in díame-
ter, and about eight in depth. Excepting, the. great
" " of rendering it tight, this tank baa suc-
use for a long
tb.vegptation,
aca, still. sport
and wrangie in the home which they were so long
The animals whioh I iiave found to thrive, most
easily, and to accommodate themselves most readi
ly to their new bomee, are the minnows or killy ñ.-h,
the ■tfoklebaOk, the shrimp, small specimens of Iñb-
elrabs, e
the small sheepshead is also very good. The patel-
la, the bnccinum, or sea snail, the purpara, or
wnelk, and several varieties of erepidulas, have al-
so succeeded nicely. The soallop, one of the most
beautiful of animals, whose lrridesoent hues are
marvelous in their brilliancy, I have not been able
to keep for any length of time. The barnacle, al-
so, so interesting in its mode of breathing and of
catching its prey, has not lived long. The spi-
der orab, which the ancients held emblematic of
wisdom, and which is noted, for his fondness of
dress and mischief, has been found altogether too
reckless of tbe oontequence of his pranks, and has
been banished to a tank kept for "unruly offen
ders.*'
No animal in a tank, however, has behaved with
more propriety, and been productive of more amuse-
ment, than the small species of hermit or soldier
crab. They are ever active, and constantly ready
to change their shells for their own gratification or
that of beholders. They seldom pass each .other
without disputing the right of way, and yet Bever
injure each other at all. A little incident will show
the pleasure that may be found-in observing tbem.
While whatching my tank, I saw a hermit orab
oogitating upon the expediency of vacating his shell
for an empty one lying near him. After matare
deliberation, he concluded upon the exchange , and
suddenly popping his tail into the vaoant shell, he
crowded out a cloud of particles, probably of de-
cayed animal matter; this attracted the attention 6f
asboal of minnows, which immediately attacked
the poor hermit, endeavoring to clraw him from.his
shell. But a new. claimant immediately appeared,
in the form of aoommon crab, who clasped the her-
mit in hia claws and attempted to carry him off by
"force of arms." The minnows, unwilling to be
thus defrauded, now beset the roober, while the her-
mit, taking advantage of this digression, crept quiok'
ly sway from the scene.
^he shrimp is' also an object worthy of admira-
1. No-bird sails through the air with more
ntleness than these fish float through the water,
itar fishes, likewise, are very pleasing ; they live
long in confinement, but are, however, quite greedy ,
and the larger ones will Boon destroy a stock of buc-
cinums. The small sheepshead is said, by those
who have kept it, to be very hardy. Many other
acquatie animals will doubtless be found to be as
Boitable as those already named.
The study of Aguaría is yet in its infancy in this
country ; and we may reasonably hope that wbeif
those who are olose observers of nature become in-
terested in this matter, we shall learn much moré of
the "private life'1 of the inhabitants of the ocean
than we have ever hitherto known. Probably no
such facilities for the study of natural history have
ever been offered as are now presented by the Aqva-
rium. We have in Our rooms, where we may exam-
ine it at our leisure, a sort of section of the ocean,
whose inhabitants may be examined in their natu-
ral abode, and under most favorable circumstances.
With such facilities it will be easy to learn more in
a few months' observation than we have heretofore
been able to learn by years of examination of dead
or dying speoimens.
Tanks may be made of various forms. The sim-
plest are made of confectioner's jars or any open-
mouthed glass vessels. Thesemay answer very well
for small specimens; but the best and most proper
for tbe fish, and well suited for examination are
those made in a rectangular form, with- four glass
sides. It has been found very difficult to make these
permanently tight, and in the Bame time free from
the taint of cement. This has, however, been rem-
edied , I believe, by some of the dealers in tanks, so
that they may now be purchased so constructed as
to be put into use without fear of leakage.
In.a fresh water tank we have no anemones nor
hermit crabs; but we have newts, the stickleback,
which builds its nest beneath the waters, the water-
beetles, the tadpoles, and numberless others, which
fully compensate for the absenee of those found only
In sea water.
The speedy popularity of this piscatorial and bo-
tanical 'institution'—the Afuarium—isundoubted.
AH that is needed is to exercise patient persever-
ance, regular attention, and, above all, perfect clean-
liness. Nodeoayed matter, animal or vegetable,
must he permitted in the tank. A strict care to not
overstock or crowd the animals, and a determina-
tion to overcome obstacles, will insure success; and
the Aquarium will become—what it has already be-
come to thousands in Europe—a "new pleasure."
Poverty and Kicbes.
The Washington Herald, in contemplation of the
tbé sad reverses of fortune which are now Of every
day occurrence, thus discourses of the blessings of
poverty:
Now that tbe country is going through, one of
its periodical panicB—that financial embarrassments
are carrying trouble and ruin into many a bank and
mercantile house; when we hear ot failure after
failure, and suspension after suspension,the thought
that sometimes it i? a blessing to be poor rises up
in the mine! with the strength almost of conviction.
We are so constituted that we never know wben
we are really favored. We very frequently repine
and complain at our condition, and envy our next
door neighbor his comfortable happy position;
when, poor fools as we are, could we but look
into his affairs closely, would find that not only be
was far from being happy, but that his troubles,
his annoyances, his griefs, were ten-fold greater
than our own.
"If every man's internal car#.
Were written on his brow;
How many would our pity share
Who have our envy nowt*'
These dark days of commercial embarrassment
are working havoc among the merchants of the
country. Many a proud house that has extended
its gigantic arms, in all directions, and reaped a
rich harvest of profits when no clouds obscured
the financial horizon, now that the storm is sweep-
ing .over the land, totters to its fall. It is a me-
lancholy record that greets us every morning with
Íe mails—a record of failures—a record telling
e old story that the labors and-the gains of for-
mer years are now swept away, and that riches do
indeed take to themselves wings. It makes us sad
to think of these things. It makes lis sad to think
of these tr oubles and sorrow that is now being
carried into many a household—ot the cruel rever-
ses to so many bright dreams—of the awakening
to that stern reality in store for so many persons
who have heretofore launched their gay barks on
prosperity's sea.
Truly it is a blessing sometimes to be poor I
The sun shines as brightly in tbe heavens for the
poor man as for the rich. Tbe flowers bloóm as
sweetly for him The glorious vault spangled with
stars is ever o're him, teaching the same lesson of
eternal power, and greatness, and love, as when
Adam lifted his wondering eyes in adoration of the
Creator. The winged zephyrs cool his brow as
sweetly. Tbe tones of music are wafted as pleas-
antly to his ears. All the enjoyments of the senses
are as keenly relished. And more than all, in his
low estate be escapes tbe embarrassments, the anx-
ieties, the wear and.tear necessarily attended upon
the heavy business of the large merchant, who, if
his gains are great, suffers" in a corresponding de-
gree from the magnitude of his liabilities.
We can readily imagine the condition of such an
one, awaking now from a long career of prosperity,
—finding himself hedged around by pecuniary em-
barressments which grow greater as he proceeds,
and threaten to overpower him altogether. His
resources are large, but he cannot avail himself of
them. Hi assets are larger than his debts, but
they can only be rendered serviceable at a heavy
sacrifice. The banks, bis last resource, obstinate-
ly refuse relief or assistance. What is left but
failure, and what does that word denote ?
In the meantime, the little craft which did not
dare to venture out upon the open sea of specula,
tion, sails steadily along over the smooth waters of
the bay, having escaped the shipwreck, while the
tall vessel lies foundered outside. Truly, riches
have wings and fly away, and "a contented mind is
a treasure on earth."
Among the novelties of the present day, is Bilk
for. sailing vessels. M. Bodanet, captain of the
Franklin, of La Bochelle, reports, that "silk sails
posses strength, flexibility and lightness; they ab-
sorb less water than other sails, and dry quicker ;
when wet, they lose none of their flexibility ; and
in the roughest of weather are so easily handled,
that sailors would rather reef one of them several
times than any other once.
A Scottish minister administered a rebuke to his
man John, for getting occasionally a little elevated
in the oourse of his peregrinations on sessional busi-
Bee, and,- John excused himself on the plea that
tbe country folks pressed him so heartily to take
a dram, "John,'' replied the minister, in a tone
of grave rebuke, "I also visit my people, but no-
body thinkB of pressing me." "Ay, but," says
John /'that's may be because you are no sae re-
speckit in the parish as I am."
"My tenants are a world of bother to me," saida
testy landiady to bfcr nephew. "Quite likely: ten
fwwft might be considered enough io bother any
one," waa the reply. <

Old Zaohariah Bobbins lived in Wood county,
Mississippi, and was called on to prove the insanity
of a young man on trial for an assault with intent
to kill. He swore that he had no doubt whatever
that the prisoner was an insane man. On his cross
examination he was required to state the reason for
this opinion.
"Why, bless your life," said he, " I've known
Jimmy allers, and he's allers ben a Dimiorat, and
when the Dimicratjo party put up their man last
fall, jimmy didn't vote for him; and I allers think
that a Dimicrat that don't stick to his party ain't
in his right mind!" ...
Jimmy was acquitted"; for old Zachariah's opin-
ion prevails very generally in that region, as well
as in this.
Dr. Squiltgee is a well-known physician practic-
ing in Philadelphia, but is not as successful in over
ooming disease as some other medical men of our
acquaintance. For some time past, Sqnillgee has
been followed aronnd by a demure-looking gentle-
man with a two foot rule in his band.. One day last
week the matter appeared sufficiently curious to
Squijlgee to warrant him in demanding an explana-
tion. "What the d—1 are you following mé about
fori" ^'Toget his measure and take the job." "To
get whose treasure?"; "That patient you got yes-
terday." "And what doyou want his measure for!"
"So that I can tell bow loEg to make his coffin."—
The mystery was explained. The gentleman who
followed Sqnillgee was a roper-in for Bexton.—
Squillge flew into a violent passion, and twisted
sexton's nose so that he might have used it for a
gimlet. Sexton, not liking this sort of fun, rushed
to the police office, and applied for a warrant. The
magistrate thought tbe matter over, and allowed
that the sexton was served jost right.
Questions fob a Wife.—Do you recollect what
your feelings were immediately after you had spok
en the first unkind word to your husband ? Did you
not feel ashamed and grieved, and yet too proud
to admit it? That was, is, and ever will be, your
evil genius! It is tbe tempter which labors inces-
santly to destroy your peace, which cheats you
with an evil delusion that your husband deserved
your auger when he really most required your love,
It is the cancer which feeds on those unspeakable
emotions you felt on tbe first pressure of his hand
and lip. Never forget the manner in which the
duties of that calling can alone be fulfilled. If your
hüsband is hasty, your example of patience will
chide as well as teach him. Your violence may
alienate his heart, and your neglect may impel him
to desperation. Tour soothing will redeem him-—
your Softness subdue him; and the good-natured
twinkle of those eyes, now filling beautifully with
priceless tears, wilt make him all your own.
Dootob.—" Ah, Mr, Smith, I see you cough mnch
easier this morning than you did yesterday."—
"That's no wonder, doctor, considering that I have
beeu practising all night."

E. B. WHEELOCK,
WHOLESALE DRUGGIST,
No.43 Magazine St., opposite the Arcade Hotel, N. O.,
HAS on hand a very large and complete stock
of fresh Drugs, Chemical, Palnts, Oils, Glass-
ware and all articles kept in similar establish-
ments at the North, which he can and is deter-
mined to sell for cash or approved paper, at Northern
wholesale prices, adding expense of freight. By this
conrse he desires to invite the attention Of Southern
buyers of Drugs to this market, assuring them that the
above assertion is strictly true. The prejudices exist-
ing In the minds of country druggists against this mar-
ket, are firmly grounded, and not without good cause,
from the fact that enormous profits have always been
charged here, compelling them to seek a Northern
market.
His ability to sell as above, Is facilited by an agent In
New York, whose personal attention is given to all pur-
chases for his house.
An examination of stock and prices is respectfully
solicited. E. B. WHEELOCK,

TpOR THE CURE OF OLD CHRONIC, MERCURIAL,
I? SYPHILITIC AND ALL PRIVATE DISEASES, with-
out Mercury, hindrance from business, or other exposure
to friends, and a cure guarantied in.all cases.
The unparalleled success which has attended Dr. Jambs'
practicein all parts of the United Statesand Eupope—the
many remarkable cures he has effected, which were pro-
nounced incurable by the most eminent physicians, justi-
fies .him in offering his services to the confidence of the
unfortunate. The following are some of the diseases
termed ''Private," and of which, in connection with
newly discovered remedies^ Dr. James permanently erari-
cates, namely: Syphilis, primary, secondary and tertiary,
Strictures, Urethral discharges,Gleet,Gonnorrhoea, Noc-
turnal Emissions, Periodical Afflictions of females, how-
ever complicated they may be, Diseases of the Back and
Loins, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Rheu-
matism Hydrocele, Cancers, Ulcers, Tumors and all dis-
ises of the Skin.
Dr. James would also call the attention especially of
those who have privately and improperly injured them-
selves in that secret and solitary habit which ruins the
body and mind, unfitting them for either business or so-
ciety, viz: Constitutional Debility or Impotency. The
following are some of the sad and melancholy effects pro-
duced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of Back
and Limbs, Pain in the head, Dimness of Vision, Loss of
Muscular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia,
Nervousnessjlrritability,Symptoms of Consumption,etc.
Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are more to be
dreaded. Logs of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depres-
sion or Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society,
Self-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, etc., are some
of the eviUnroduced. .
All persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms
should not fail to call on Dr. James, and be at once re-
stored to perfect health; let ho false delicacy prevent
you, but apply at once, and save yourself from the awful
and dreadful consequences of this terrible malady.
Weakness of the organs immediately cured, and full
vigor restored.
Remember The Medical House of Dr. James is
Customhouse street.
P S.—Persons residing out of the city, or cannotvisit
me personally, by giving particulars of disease, in letter,
and enclosing a fee of Ten Dollars, will have the remedy
of disease sent to their address, enclosed in a small pack-
age and concealed from observation. No communication
noticed unless accompanying the fee, as the numerous
correspondence of the Doctor forbids.
Consultations held strictly confidential. Address

INVALUABLE DISCOVERY—No pay required until
a cure is affected. Private Diseases cured in a few days,
by a regular physician, without mercury or other poison-
ous medicines at 95 Exchange Place.
DR. MULLEN calls the attention of those afflicted
with any of the forms of a certain disease, to hisgeneral
advertisement in another column. The treatment adopt-
ed by him, is that which has the approval of the most
distinguished surgeons of Paris, Londor and New Vork,
and its universal success has proved beyond a doubt, that
a permanent cure for the worst cases of constitutional
syphilis, gonorrhoea, strictures, enlargement of the pro-
strate glands, diseases procured by a certain solitary
practice, etc., etc., can now be obtained to a moral cer
tainty, if application be made to those whose intelligence,
skill and experience can be relied on. Since Dr. Mullen
opened in this city, all the many cases that have come
under his care have been cured, without a single excep-
tion. Some of these were of years' standing. One re-
markable case of stricture, thirty yesrs old, has been
cured, to the surprise of the patient. The gentlemen
(whose respectability is known to the citizens of New
Orleans) is at hand, and, by his permission. can be refer-
red to. Dr. M.'s treatment o strictures is not known
South of New York. His treatment of gonorrhcea and
gleet is the most perfect ever discovered, it is the short-
est, safest and surest; The patient takes no copavia, cu-
bebs, turpentine or other nauseous dosots but a cure is
obtained in one or two days, without pain, inconveni-
ence or a change of diet. No pay unless a cure is effect-
ed within the time named.
IMPOTENCY—Young men or o.hers, who, by sexual
excesses of self-pollution, may have brought on them-
selves any of the painftil consequences resulting from an
unrestrained indulgence ol' the passions, such as prema-
ture impotency, involuntary seminal emissions, general
debility or constitutional derangement may consult Dr.
Mullen with honorable confidence—he offers them a per-
fect cure. The strictest secrecy observed. Dr. Mullen
can pe consulted daily at his office.
