IMAGINARY EVILS

fs BY CHARLES SWAIN.
Let tomorrow take care OF to-mo,Io"'
Leave things of the future TO la.e
What's the use to anticipate sorrow,
Life's troubles come never 100 ia'e'
II 10 hope over much be an error,. ~.
IT'S one that the wise have preferred
And how often have hearts been III terror
OF evils that never occuireu'
Have faith. land thy faith shall sustain thee'--
Permit not suspicion and care
With invisible bonds 10 enchan thee,
But bear what God gives thee to bear.
By his spirit supported and claddened,,
Be meier by ''forebodings" deferred
But think of how hearts have been saddened
By fear--of what never occurred!
Let tomorrow take care Of tomorrow;
Short and dark as our life may appear,
We may make it still darker by sorrow--
Still shorter by folly and fear!
Half our troubles are half our invention;
And often from blessings conferred
Have we shrunk in the vile Apprehension
Of evils--that never occurred.

THE Essence is a preparation of unusual ex-
i cellence and of varied properties. In all cases
where powerful and safe stimulant is required,
it is unrvalled for efficacy as well as immediate
action. To the traveller and to the family circle
it is invaluable, few drops diluted in sugar and
water present safe and agreeable remedy to the
invalid who requires immediate relief, as well as
to the convalescing patient who needs a gentle
tonic. In a Southern climate, where the relaxa-
ton of the system SO generally induces thirst for
stimulants, it will always be found an excellent
substitute for those tempting beverages which de-
bilitate the stomach and cause morbid condition
of its powers. In dyspepsia, in relaxation of the
bowels, in nausea and sea-sickness it is an active
and safe as well as pleasant and refreshing re-
medy, and is prescribed by the most eminent of
the medical faculty.

PHENOMENA ATTENDANT ON IMMERsING
TIE HANDS IN Molten METAL.-Mr. Corne,
in paper submitted to the Paris Academy
of Science, says:
"Having determined on investigating the
question whether the employment OF liquid
sui ulphurous acid for moistening the hands
would produce sensation of GOODNESS, when
they are immersed in the melted metal, |
immersed my hands, previously moistened
with sulphurous acid, in the metal lead, and
experienced a sensation of decided cold. /
repeated the experiment of immersing the
hand in melted lead and infused cast-iron.
Before experimenting with the melted iron,
I placed stick, previously moistened with
water, in the stream of liquid metal, and on
withdrawing it found it to be almost as wet
as it was before, scarcely any of the mois-
ture was evaporated. The moment a dry
piece of wood was placed in contract with
the heated metal, combustion took place.
M. Covlet and | then dipped our hands into
vessels of the liquid metal, and passed our
fingers several times backwards and for
wards through stream of metal flowing
from the furnace, the heat from the radia-
tion of the fused metal being at the same
time almost unbearab!e. We varied these
experiments for upwards of two hours
and Madam Covlet, who assisted at these ex-
periments, permitted her child, a girl ol
nine years of age, to dip her hand in a
crucible of red hot metal with impunity
We experimental on the melted iron
both with our hands quite dry, and al
SO when moistened with water, alcohol, and
ether. The same results were obtained a,
with melted lead, and each of us expert
enced sensation of cold when employing
