rope.
We, the undersigned practitioners ofmed
lclne in Germany are well aware that, by ou
course, we may forfeit the friendship o
some of the faculty, but not of its boaevopn
members, who are uninfluenced by selisl
motives. Though we shall refrain from al
expression of our opinion, either of thu
soundness or unsoundness of DR.. Goelicke'
new doctrine, we are happy to say that W,
deem his Sanatve too valuable not to be gen
orally known-for what our eyes behold ant
our ears hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that when DR.. I.onis OF
fon Goellcke first came before the German
public, as the pretended discoverer of new
doctrine and new medicine, we held him in
tue highest contempt, believing and openly
pronounclng him to be blse impostor and
prince of quncks. But, on hearing so much
said about the Sanatlve, against It and fol
it, we were induced, from motives of curl.
oslty merely to make trial of its reputed
virtues upon number of our most hopeless
patients; and we now deem it our boundcn
duty (even at the expense OF our self inter.
est) publicly to acknowledge it efficacy in
curing not only the consumption, but other
leorful naladies, which we have heretofore
believed to be ncurable. Our contempt for
the discoverer Of this medicine was at once
swallowed up in our utter astonshment at
these unexpected results; and, as amends
for our abuse of him, we do frankly confess
to the world, that we believe him phan-
thropst, who does honor TO the profession
to our country, which gave him birth.
The adoption of this melicine into some
of our European hospitals is sufficient
guaranty that it performs allit promises. II
needed not our testimony, for wherever il
is used it is its own hest witness.

Il The Blind Piles, said to be incura.
BILE by externalapplicati Solomon HAYS
warrants the contrary. His Liniment will
cure Blind Piles. Facts are more stubborn
than theories, He soicits all respectable
Physicians to try it upon their patients. 1t
Will do them no harm, and tits known that
physicians who had the honesty to make
the trial, have candidly admitted that it has
succeeded in every case they have known.
Then why not use it? 1t is the recipe Of
one of their most respectable members, now
deceased. Why refuse to useit! Because
it is sold as proprietary medicine Is this a
sufficient excuse for suffering their patients
to linger in distress? We think not.
Physicians shall be convinced that there is
no humbug or quackery about this article
Why then not alleviate human suffering?

MILKING In the morning the cows
should be driven gently around the yard
before milking; they will yield more for
the exercise.--We have seldom hired q
good mixer. Females are better than men,
they have more patience. A good mixer
will obtain at least one quarter more cream
than one that milks slowly. We have Of
ten proved this; we hired one summer a
man from New Hampshire who had man.
aged a farm several years. He was clever
but extremely moderate; we then had four
cows in milk, and discovered our slow
mixer was fast drying up our cows; we
concluded to give him our aid and let him
milk only two. In one week we obtained
one quart more that he at milking; he
said his cows were not equal 10 ours; we
then shifted, and obtained within nine
days, more milk from his cows than he did
from ons. This was wholly to be as
cribed to his moderate milking, for he left
none in the udder.--Boston Cultiuator.

THE WHITE ROSE.

THE WHITE ROSE.
When gently breathes the soft southwest,
And summers clouds in pearly showers
Are strown on earth's embroidered vest,
Il We greet tho fair unfolding flowers.
Far from the crowded scenes of strife
For wealth and power, where men grow vile
In happier haunts Of rural life,
They brightest bloom, and sweetest smile.
Pride of the race! thou pale white rose!
AS pure and calm in scented bower
Thy alabastcr leaves unclose,
I hail thee as my rite flower.
Emblem Of purity and truth!
To me thy gentle presence brings
Sweet mem 'ries Of unsullied youth,
Twin'd with all fair and lovely things.
AND thoughts Of purcr clinics than ours
Wake. as thy quiet smile l see,
Link with those far unfading bowers,
Where every flower is pure like thee.
While day born buds, sweet flower of Hope!
In dreams with folded drapery lie;
Unchill'd thy fearless blossoms opc
He On midnight's dim and shadowy eye. l.,
The glstenng bells that drink the dew,
With glowing lip, and gorgeous vest,
And sister flowers of blushing hue,
In beauty's varied tints are drest.
But thou-pale, pure, and passionless!'
Thou, spotless vestal Of the flowers!
No answering blush returns the kiss
4 OF the bright sun, at morning hours.
No gaudy hues thy charms deface-
No borrow'd tint of earthly dye
Pearls-pearls alone thy vesture grace,
And on thy snowy bosom lie.
And dreaming farcy's pencil power,
So pure each charm around thee flung,
Still points thee as that Eden flower,
From whom all other roses sprung.
