iHbdlaneottS. THE FORESTS OF NEW JERSEY. A correspondent, writing from Cape May, chmmutnc&tes the following interesting facts respecting the forests of New Jersey, He says : It may sound strangely to very many of your readers, hut it is true, nevertheless, that within a hundred miles of New York, in the little State of New Jersey, there are forests almost as dense and impenetrable as ever stood in the primal ages; forests through which the light struggles with but feeble power, and in which to dav unfamiliar feet would become involved in inextricable labyrinths. The whole of southern New Jer gey, in fact, is more or less remarkable for its immense tracts of pine and cedar. The most extensive, howevei, are in the counties of Cumberland and Cape May, lymg on the Del aware Bay and Atlantic coast. In the latter county there are conti :tn<us cedar swainp.i of no less than si venteen miles in length, and from five to eight ruiles in breadth ; and one may travel for hours along the narrow roads without discovering anywhere a clear 'patch' of ground. The original growth of trees in these swauips, which might filly be denominated dismal, has disappeared ; scarcely any are now to be found more than a century old. For merly, it is 6aid, they attained a great age ; on one old tree, some years since, a resident counted seven hundred rings of annual growth ; on another, one thousand and eighty rings were counted. The trees stand very thickly in their eaily growth; but, as they increase in size and are crowded for space? the tops become thhi, and the trees stand straight and solemn, like so many mourners, with mere tufts of foliage floating from theii summit. These swamps are very valuable, an acre of such timber commanding Iroin live hun dred to a thousand dollars. A peculiar fea ture of the swamps i? that the soil is of pure ly vegetable growth, often twenty feet or more in depth. This peaty earth is constant ly accumulating from the fall of leaves and boughs, and trees are found buried in it at all deplhs quite down t the solid ground. The timber so buried retains its bu >yancy and Color, and is considered so valuable that large numbers 01 workmen are constantly etnplov ed in raising and splitting the 'ogs into rails and shingles. In searching f>r these logs the workman uses an iron rod which be tin lists into the soil, an I by repeated trials ascertains the S'Ze and h ngth of tie d he Brnke*,8 r nke*, and then bv dtggmg down, oli'auis a cli p, bv which he can detertuin whet' er it is worn removal. The number l shingle- produced from the wood of these submerged Puei-ts i. very great. From the little tw nof Detines. ville, in this county, as many as eiaht hun dred thousand, valued a* twelve thousand dol lars, have been sent to market in a year.— From the same place thousands of dollars worth of white cedar rails are annually sent out. The deposit of timber at this point ex tends to an indefinite depth, and although, from the growth above it, believed to be two thousand years old, is all entirely sound, and will supply for- years to come, the dralt upon it. • AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. It is the pride oi Americans that in pro prrtl<> to our population we have more than double the number of newspapers of any oth er country tn the world. It is not claimed that our first scholars are better educated than those of the world ; but it is claimed that the great body of our people are more intelligent than are the working classes of Europe ; and if this newspaper press is not the cause, it is an evidence of the fact. In ordinary times newspapers are cheaper here than there, and every family not on the list- of paupers may enjoy its weekly visit; and we do know that families in which the paper is a regul tr visitor are ra >re inte ▼irtuou and respectable than they would be without it. Ilence wo urgo all readers to " Support your local paper do not let " hard times," nor the war, nor tho high price of paper, cause the suspension of us regular issue ; et ter do without some luxury than this neces gity.

By the Genoese and the Spaniards, he was regarded as a man resolved 011 a " wild dedi cation of himself to unpathed waters and un dreamed of shores j" and the court of Portu endeavored to rob him of the glory of his enterprise by secretly despatching a ves-e in the course which he had pointed out. lie used ti. affirm ihat he stood in need of God's particular assistance in that voi age of discov ery ; like Mo-es, when he led forth the chil dren of Tsiael, who foTebore to lay violent hands upon him, becati6e of the miracles which, God wrought by his means.

A good story is told of a certain prominent railroad gentleman of 1 this city, who is equally renowned for his ability to make and take a joke. A Railroad employ ee whose home is ia Avon, came on Saturday night, to ask for a pass down to visit his family. " You are in the employ of the Railroad ?" inquired the gentleman we have alluded to. j " Yes." I " You receive your pay regularly V I <l Yes." i u Well. Now suppose you were working for a fanner instead of a railroad, would you expect your employer to hitch up his team j every Saturday night, and carry you home This seemed a poser but it wasn't. " No," said the man, promp'ly, " I wouldn't expect that : but if the farmer had his team hitched up and was going my way, I should call hitn a darned mean cuss if he wouldn,t j let me ride." i Mr. Employee came out three minutes af terwarda with a pass good for twelve month*. —BuffuloCouticr. + r A coroner was lately roused from his slumbers by a rather naughty set of was •jish fellows. " What is the matter?" inquired the offi cial, protruding his night capped head out at the window. " We want you to hold an inquest, instant ly," replied one of the party The dignitary thought the world of his office, amd now the first opportunity of exer cising his functions presented itself. lie en sequently ran to the door, rubbing his hands, and exclaimed ; " Well, gentlemen, conduct me to the spot, if you please." " Oh, you cau hold it here," answered the ! spokesman. " What! have you disturbed the corpse ? 1 cried the horrified coroner. " Not at all, sir," was the rejoinder,—the i subject has been here for some time. We just want you to hold an inquest over the i '• dead of the n.ght."

A lady who had boasted highly ; at a dinner party, of the good maimers o her little darling, addressed him ihu- : " Charlie, my dear, won't you have some b ane ?" " No," was the ill mannered reply ui the petulent cherub. " No," exclaimed the astonished mother, "no what ?" " No beans," said the child. VST " La me !" sighed Mrs. Partington, " here I have been sufierin, the bigamies ot death for three mortal weeks.

A GENTLEMAN riding through Sydenham saw a board with " This Cottage for Sail'' painted on it. As he was always ready for a pleasant joke, and seeing a woman in front of the bouse, he stopped and asked her very politely, " when the Cottage was to sail ? "Just as soon as the man comes who can raise the wind, " was the reply. A gentleman sat down to write a deid, and becan with " Know all women by these presents " " You are wrong," said the bystander, " it ought to tie " know all men."

J) v Tite peculiar taint or a)Cx infection which we call WH SCROFULA lurks in yf the constitutions of #i multitudes of men. It P \ ®'fher produces or is feebled, vitiated stato of the blood, wherein fluid becomes in competent to sustain the vital forces in their vigorous action, and leaves the system to full into disorder and decay. The scrofulous contamination is variously caused bv mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever he its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, des< ending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ; " indeed, it seems to he the rod of Him who says, " I will visit the iniqui ties of the fathers upon their children." The diseases which it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption ; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and become ulcerous sores; in tho stomach and bowels, derangements which pre ducc indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com plaints; on the skin, cruptrrp and cutaneous affections. These all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz. purification and invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you ton not have health ; with that *' life of the flesh " healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most effectual anti dote® thut medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemjier, and for the enre of the : disorders it entails. That it is far superior to any other reiucdv yet devised is known by all who have given it a trial. That it does com bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon tins class of complaints, is indisputab.v proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : King's Evil or Glandular Swellings, Tnmors, Erup tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery sipelas Rose or St. Anthony's Fire. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu berculous deposits in the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, ML indeed, the whole series of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found in ATER'S AMERICAN i ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may te learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures wlil- h it has made when all other remedies hud failed to afford relief. Those ca-es arc purposely taken from all sec tions of the country, in order that every reader mav have access to* some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal result* than are healthy constitu tions. Hence it tends to shorten,"and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life The vast importance of these considera tions has led its to spend years in perfecting a remedy which i® adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA, although it is com po-ed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sars"/KiriUa in alterative power. By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in tho blood; purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow.
