into the case, gave directions to the person in

should give TO the patient the medicine az he
would leave with him, saying, "you may give
him drachms every three hours until he is re-

PANAMA.-On the night of the 10th May, we
were visited with heavy rain, which lasted for
an hour two, and was followed by stiff
breeze from the southwark, that by ten o'clock
had increased into quite gale. This lasted all
night and the greater portion of the following
day. Soviolent it that the departure of the
steamer Golden Gate was necessarily postponed
until to-day.
The wet season having thoroughly set in, we
now have daily heavy rains. For the past week
or two, the travel has been entirely across the
Cruces road-that to Gorgona having become
impossible.
The average price for passage mules between
Panama and Cruces is $lS; and for the trans
portation of baggage, the average charge is about
IL cents per pound.-Ponama Star, May 18Th.

\
Not laugh was heard nor joyous note
For our friend to the bridal we hurried;
Not wit discharged his farewell shot
At the bachelor just to be married.
We married him quietly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps dim
light.
To think he was no more discerning.
To think that bachelor, free and bright,
And shy of the girls as we found him,
Should here by the altar, at dead of night
Be caught by the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though we heartily ate of the cake;
Then escorted him home from the scene of dread,
And thought how awfully he'd shake.
We thought as we followed his lowly bed,
OF the birch, the beech, and the willow,
How the shovel and tongs would break DER his
head,
And the tears he would shed on his pillow
Says he, They will talk Of their friend who has
gone,
And every old bach will upbraid me,
And nothing I'll seek if they'll let me sleep on,
Meath the coverlet. just as they've laid me-"
But half of our heavy task was done,
Ere the clock tolled the hour for the other.
And we left, with the hope that the fate he had
Would never be won by another
Slowly and sadly we marched us down,
From the top of the uttermost story,
And we never have heard from, or seen the poor
Whom we left, not alone, but in his glory.

Sits were made by Franklin's party, who caught
