Messrs. Sanford and Park:
Gents-I take this opportunity Of in

The year 1870 was taken with an inna-
nation Of the bowels which | Iabored IN

covered. In the fall of l64I | was at
tackled with a severe cold, which seated
itself upon my lungs; and for the space
Of three years | was confined 10 nv bed.
| lried all kinds Of medicine and every
variety CT medical aid without benefits;
and ! wearled along until the winter Of
1914 when / heard Of Wisiar's Balsam
Of Wild Cherry.
My friends persuaded me TO give il Z
fair trial though | had given up all hopes
of recovery and bad prepared myself for
the change of another world. Through
their solicitation | was induced to make
use of the genuine Wlslar's Balsam Of
Wild Cherry. The effect was truly as
tonishing. After FIVE years Of aflicIion,
pain and suffering: and after having spent
four or five hundred dollars to no pur-
pose, and the best and most respectable
physicians had proved unaVaiiing. | was
soon restored to entire health by The bles.

CALIFORNIA RYE.

They have been growing in Georgia, :
plot of California Rye, from seed sen.
from that country, said to surpass any
grain Of that kind ever planted. One
eighth Of an acre in Talletero county pro-
duced thirty six bushels. The heads are
immensely large, and so heavy that ii is
necessary to sow the seeds very thick
When the growth is thin, the stalks are
protected by the weight of the cars
When sown thick they support each other.
We should think that the rich loamy soil
and pure climate of california would pro-
duce crops of a very superior character
Rye IS a very useful domestic article
easily cultivated, and should be produced
in larger quantities than it is.

THE MOON.

In interesting paper on the appearance
ol the surface Of the Moon, was read be-
fore the Convention of Geologis s andNa-
turalisls, in session at New York, recent
ly, by the author, saines D. Dana, Esqr.
The following from the Tribune, gives
the substance oft:
The surface Of the Moon has been mi
nutely studied in a physical point ofview,
and already many interesting geological
discoveries have been made. 1893 lunar
lights have been measured by Beer and
Nader. drawings of several of these
mountains were exhibited by Mr.. Dana.
One important subject in regard TO the
Moon yet remains unexpIained-viz: the
immense magnitude of its crGfers. One
Of them has been ascertained TO be $50 or
300 miles in diameter, and $4,000 feet
deep. The crater Bailey is l491 statute
miles ia diameter. 1t was stated in the
reports that two thirds ofall the lunar hem
isphere ia view-composing its Southern
quarter-are covered with volcanic noun
iains. The names, heights, depths and
pecullariiies of the various craters and
mountains of the Moon were PARTICULARS
ed in the paper of Mr.. Dana, and numer-
ous drawings-plans of these elevations
and lAe inside of their craters-were
shown. The walls of the craters are fire.
quently so regular as 10 appear almost ar
tifcial. One very singular circumstance
observable in them is, that the sides ap-
pear more illuminated, more brilliant than
the bottoms. May not this be account
ed for by the existence ola nebulous light
apparently in the lower portion?
We are not sure that we caught the
exact idea of the speaker, If not, will he
please correct us.
The absence of water in the Moon. and
the principal volcanoes elsewhere observ-
ell; were then treated of; after which were
taken up the subjects Of the Geology of
ihe volcanic regions, and the distribution
OF land and water on our globe, as compar-
cd with the Moon. In the ocean, all The
islands, except the c%orals, are Of an igne-

When Mr.. Dana closed, Prof. Silliman
inquired how Mr.. d. would account for

Both are seriously, dangerously in err

consummation Of the wrong is to sanction
all that preceded and follows it. The du-
ties of all parties were admirably set forth
at the recent town meeting Of all parties.
I, is an a5surdity, almost a guilty one, TO
regard war as expcdient or just, MERELY

extinguish a conlagralion which threat

and blessings: but not 10 kiss the hand or
consecrate the torch that fired it.
We oppose any faction, if any such
there be which would oppose the coun-
try; and will follow the unfurled flag OF

suppose that a war proclamation musr

By J. CLEMENT.

Her face is fair, her form erect,
Her motions full Of grace,
Bnt not a CLEAN of r~easons's light
Within her eye we trace.
The baight blue sky above her Spreads
The gay green earth around,
And myriad voices sweeily tuned,
Wake every pleasant sound.
And vet to her there's nothing fair,
In all that God has made,
And not a harp could thrill her soul,
Though by an angel played.
The beauteous world Of mind, to US
So full Of Heavenly light,
To her il is but a dark morass,
Where reigns primeval night.
The smile on friendships face is dim,
The glow Of love concealed,
And all the woman in her heart,
Is like a fount CONCEALED.
Il here seems strange that Tod should hid
A ray of his own light,
But Heaven will yet illume the page,
And ail will there he bright
