vain ARAN ME INS SH nn semen Sibi ih ASI
MARCH.
BY WILLIAM ©. BRYANT,
The bud is in the bough
And the leaf is in the bud,
And Farth’s nning now
In her caasts feel the blood,
Which, warmed by Summer’s sun
In th’ alembic of the vine,
From her founts will overrun
In a ruddy gush of wine.
The perfume and the bloom
That shall decorate the flower
Are quickening in the gloom
Of their subterranean bower;
And the juices meant to feed
Trees, vegetables, fruits,
Unerringly proceed *
To their pre-appointed roots.
How awful is the thought
Of the wonders underground
Ot the mystic “— wrought
In the silent, dark, profound;
How each thing upward tends
By necessity decreed,
And a world’s support depends
On the shooting of a seed!
The Summer’s in her ark,
And this sunny pinion’d day
Is commigsioned to remark
Whether Winter holds her sway,
Go back, thou dove of peace,
With myrtle on thy wing,
Say that floods and tempests cense,
And the world is ripe for Spring.
Thou hast fanned the sleeping Earth
Till her dreams are all of flowers,
And the waters look in mirth
For their overhanging bowers;
The forest seems to listen
For the rustle of its leaves.
And the very skies do glisten
In the hope of Summer eves.
The vivifying spell
Has heen felt beneath the wave,
By the dormouse in its cell
And the mole within its cave;
And the Summer tribes that creep
Or in air expand their wing,
Have started from their sleep
At the summons of the Spring.
The cattle lift their voices
From the valleys and the hills,
And the feathered race rejoices
With a gush of tuneful bills;
And if this cloudless arch
Fills the poet’s song with glee,
0, thou sunny first of March,
Be it dedicate to thee!
“ANYTHING IN Reason.’’— When the United States Army started for Utah, there was
a scarcity of transportation, or, in other
words, there were too few baggage wagons,
Now every soldier knows how like the ap:
ple of one’s eye are theso same baggage wagons, drawn as they are by six mules, on the
long marches across the plains, A colonel
of dragoons, who had command of one of
the columns, restricted the officers very
much in their allowance of baggage, and
was most bitter ifany one tried to exceed
the just amount. One morning the colonél
met one of his captains, (a dragoon, of
course,) when he burst out as follows:
“Captain, do you know what these artillery officers want to take acroas the Plains?”’
“No, Colonel, I do not,’’ said the Captain
with an inquiring look.
“Well,” said he, “if you’ll believe me,
there's one of ’em wants to take across a
box of books.’’
“Books !’’ exclajmed the Captain ; “what
next, [ wonder! Now, Colonel, I have but
little to take across myself—nothing, in
fact, but a barrel of whisky.”
“Of course, Captain, of course ; anything
in reason ; but the idea of carrying a parcel of books across that stretch isa little
more than I can stand,”
Bionpin Ourpone.—Kvelyn, in his account of the feats of walking the tight rope
which he saw performed by & Turk, at Bartholemew Fair, in 1657, states that these
were not, even at that time, unprecedented,
When Edward VI. passed through London
the day before bis coronation, (February
19th, 1547,) a Spaniard descended on a rope
stretched from the battlements of St. Paul’s
steeple and fastened to an anchor near the
gate of the deanery, “lying on the rope
with his head forward,” says an old chronicle, “casting his arms avd legs abroad,
and running on his breast on the rope from
the battlements to the ground as if he had
been an arrow out of a bow.” The same
exploit was repeated on the entry of Phillip
and Mary into London after their marriage
(August 19, 1654,) at the same place, or,
according to one authority, “from the Chapted howe.’”’ The performer on the last occasion met, soon afterwards, with the fate
too common to such persons, and paid for .
his foolish temerity with his life. A man
su uently performed similar feats in
1750, in various parts of England, among
others ut Hartford, where he descended “a
rope stretched from the tower of All Saint’s
chureh, and brought obliquely to the
ground, about four scere yards from the
bottom of the tower.”

Irregularities, and all improper discharges of both
sexes, It matters not from what cause the disease
originated, however long standing or obstinate the
case, recovery is certain, and ina shorter time than
a permanent cure can be effected by any other treatment, even after the disease has baffled the skill of
eminent physicians and resisted all their means of
cure. The medicines prescribed are pleasant, without odor, entirely vegetable, causing no sickness, and
free from mercury or balsam. During fifteen years
of practice, in Europe, the Atlantic States, and California, I have rescued from the jaws of death many
thousands, who, in the last stages of the above men
tioned diseases, had been given up to die by their
physicians, which warrants me in promising to the
affiicted, who may place themselves under my care, a
perfect and speedy cure. Private diseases are the
greatest enemies to health, as they are the first cause
of Consumption, Scrofula, and many other diseases, .
and should be a terror to the human family. A permanent cure is scarce)
the cases falling inte the hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to eure the disease, but ruin
the constitution, filling the system with mercury,
which, with the disease, hastens the sufferer into a
rapid consumption.
But should the disease and the treatment not cause
death speedily, and the victim marries, the disease is
entailed upon the childrem, who are born with feeble
constitutions, and fhe current of life corrupted by a
virus, which betrays itself in scrofula, tetter, ulcers,
eruptions, and other affections of the skin, eyes,
throat and lungs, entailing upon them a brief existance of suffering, and comsigning them to an early
grave.
Se.yv-Arvse is another formidable enemy to health,

the nervous system, rapidly wastes away the energies of life, causes mental derangement, prevents the .
proper developement of the system, disqualifies for
marriage, society, business, andall earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer wrecked in body and
mind, predisposed to consumption, and a train of
evils more to be dreaded than death itself, With the
fullest confidence I assure the unfortunate victims
of Self-abuse, that a permanent and speedy cure can .
be effected, and with the abandonment of ruinous
