ay) 4 4 . greet oe TS GONE! [The following beantiful lines were contributed to Moore’s Rural New Yorker by Kate Cameron. } Gone from the world’s temptations, Its sorrows and its strife; Gone from the toils and trials That make a war of life; Gone from these thorny earth-roada To Heaven’s shining track— The loved ones who have left us, Oh, would ye call them back? Gone, with their dreams of beauty, Where beauty never dies; Gone with their joyous spirits, Where tears ne’er dim the eyes; Gone with their earnest longings, Where faith ia lost in sight— Would ye call them from such noon-tide Back to the shades of night? ‘Gone from our tender keeping, Which yet was all in vain; Gone from our fond affection Which could not spare them pain; “Gone from their friends so loving, To One who loved them more— Why mourn when they are happy Upon the spirit shore? Gone from all fears of evil, Gone from all thoughts of ill, ‘Gone from Care’ heavy burdens ’Neath which we murmar still; Gone from the cross of anguish The promised crown to wear— Shall the cast aside its glory, The weight again to bear? Gone from the weary striving Gainst worldliness and sin; Gone from all outward tempters, Gone from all foes within; . Gone where their spirit’ s pinions Are ever free to soar— Oh, would ye ‘draw them earthward Wo wear Life's chain once more? Ah, though our hearts are aching, And though our tears will fall, We would not, in our weakness, Our loved and lost recall. We leave them with our Father, Whose goodness we adore, And pray that we may meet them Where we shall part no more. How Music 13 Mabe ur.—The following ingenius and beautifully expressed thoughts upon the sources of music are from the pen of Taylor, of the Chicago Journal : Itisacurious thought, that the great translators of the dialect of heaven—the Mozarts, the Handels and Jubals of all time -—bhave caught their notes from the bammers of Tubal Cain, or the murmur of running streams, or the wiod sighing among the reeds, or the songs of singing birds ; that, should there be a bird convention, upen a summer’s day, by a flowing river, near a ringing forge, and some masterpiece that bas rolled a tone of melody through mighty ministers, were performed, its author would be pronounced a faithful listener, “only this and nothing more.” How the robin would claim its warble, and the brown-thrash recegnize its own ; the bell-note, Robert O’Lincoln would catch up and repeat, and the quail whistle back its little share of the song. The soft’ sighing winds would ecbo a tone now and then; the stream, through the reeds, murmur on its own: the hammers beat out the battlelike strain, and the rain on the roof wash away a whole bar of “the score.’”’ So when the anthem was ended it woul@all be drifted, like down of the thistle, back to nature and labor again. The lark would go up with a carrol, and the little ground-sparrow fly away with a note, and the music be scattered abroad, Eaa Ixsrecror.—In view of the fact that we have have had a Flour Inepector, that we have a Whisky Inspector, a Salt Pork and Beef Inspector, and are about to be blessed or burdened with a Lumber Inspector, a writer in the San Francisco Times proposes that the Legislature create the office of * 5g Inspector.” He suggeste that all eggs offered for sale shall be inspected, classitied and stamped, and shail be marked No, 1, 2, or 3, to represent their qualities as “frosh,”? “stale,” or “addled,” and each egg shall be at least four inches in diameter and free from cracks, Considering that unsound eggs are frequently sold to the unwary public as good or fresh, and the people are thus cheated ont of their money, the offiee of Egg Inspector may .be necessary to protect them in their rights, unless purchasers shall conclude to examine the articles for themselves, SiieantLy GENEALOGICAL.—John Slidell, . the Louisiana Senator, who had anticipated the expiration of his term in the Senate (which expired March 4th) by seceding with his State, is a native of New York. His father was an hon. est soap-boiler and tallow-chandler of that city, about the beginning of the present century. He sent his son to college, little dreaming that he would ever prove a traitor to his country in after life. This collegiate course was finally the cause of Slidell’s emigration to Louisiana and his denial of his birthplace. Tne fabulous Unicorn has been found by a traveler, He says it exists in the interior of Thibet, in India, where it is well known to the inhabitants, Itisthe same as the Unnicorn of the Scriptures, and is mentioned by ancient wirters, It is said to be about . the size of the horse, extremely wild, and . seldom, if ever caught. They have a horn projecting from their foreheads, go in herds and are to be met with on the borders of the Great Desert. “Miss, will you take my arm?” “La! yes, and you too.’’ “Can only roore the arm, Miss, hastily replied the bachelor. ‘Then I can’t take it,’”’ said Miss, ‘as my motto is to go the whole hog or none at all.” Tue cultivation of cotton has been commenced, with fine prospects of success, in ‘the Fiji t= WHITHER GOEST ae"y* Oae .

Self-abuse, Nervous Debility, Strictures, Gleet, Gravel Diabetes, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Mercurial Rheumatism, Scrofula, Pains in the Bones and Ankles, Diseases of the Lungs, Throat, Nose and Eyes, Ulcers upon the Body or Limbs, Cancers, Dropsy, Epileptic Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance, and all Diseases arising from a derangement of the Sexual Organs. Such as Nervous Trembling, Loss of memory, Loss of Power, General Weakness, Dimnesrs of Vision. with peculiar spots appearing before the eyes, Loss of Sight, Wakefulness, Dyspepsia, Liver Diseases, Eruptions upon the Face, Pain in the Back and Head, Female 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 in a shorter time than a permanent cure can be effected by any other treatment, even after the disease has baflled 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 balkam. 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, Serofula, and many other diseases, and should be a terror to the human family. manent cure is scarcely ever effected, a inajority of the cases falling into the hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to cure the disease, bot 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 children, who are born with feeble constitutions, and the 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 consigning them to an early . grave, Su.y-Anvse is another formidable enemy to health, . for nothing else in the dread catalogue of human diseases causes 80 destructive a drain upon the system, drawing its thousands of victims, through a few years of suffering, down to an untimely grave. It destroys 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, and all earthly hapriness. 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 practices my patients can be restored to robust, vigorous health. Irregelarities, and all diseases of males and females, . treated on principles established by fifteen ~ of practice, and sanctioned by thousands of the most remarkable cures, Modicines, with full directions, sent to any part of the State, Oregon and Washington Territory, by patients communicating by letter, their symptoms.
