pears TO Be general, Of admitting patent

at about one.half the rates which tho!
charge their own merchants. i IS an o.
tab!ished rule with us, that il We favor any
it shall be those Of our own community
Ifproprietors Of patent medicines wish them
advertised they must pay US ns much as we
charge our merchants, while At tho same
time we give the Inter thu privilege Of
more frequent alteration. flour brethren
would pursue this course they would lind
that while .hoy obtained equally as much
patent medicine advertising, they would
receive more from their merchants and
thus increase their revenue from each OF
these sources. Il is proverbial that patent
medicine manufacturers reap rich harvests
from their nostrums and a. the press 10 The
medium through which they become known
to tho people, wo can see no good reason
why Publishers should not share some Of the

THE KINGS OF THE SOIL.

Black sin may nestle below crest,
And crimes below crown;
As good hearts beat meath fustian vest,
As under silken gown.
Shall tales be told of the chiefs who sold
Their sinews to crush and kill,
And never word be sung or heard
Of the men who reap and till?
bow in thanks to he sturdy throng
Who greet the young morn with toll;
And the burden give my earnest song
Shall be this-THE KINGS OF THE SoIL
Then sing for the Kings who have no crown
But the blue ky DER their head
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they
To withhold or to offer bread.
Proud ships may hold both silver and gold,
The wealth of distant strand;
But ships would rot and be valued not
Were there none to till the land.
The widest heath AMI the widest brake,
Are rich as the richest fleet,
For they gladden. the wild birds when they wake
And give them food to eat.
And with willing hand, and spade, and pillow,
The gladdening hour shall come,
When that which is called the "waste land" now
Shall ring with the Harvest Homer
Then sing for the kings who nave no crown
| But the blue skv DER their head
Never Sultan or Dey had such power as they
To withhold or to offer bread.
