CONSUMPTION.

Mrs Landon, better known as Il. K. L,' was
popular during her life, BY reason Of her sentimental
poetry. But her permanent fame will DO secured by
her descriptive verses. Here is Il pasSage:-
II is most sad to watch the fall
OF autumn leavcs.--but worst of all
II il 10 watch the flower Of Sprin.
Faded in its fresh hlossouing!--
To see the once so clear blue orb
It's summer light and warmth forget.
Dark'ning beneath lis fearful lid,
Like Il rain beaten violet.
ia watch the banncr-rose OF health
Pass from the cheek 10 mark how plain,
Upon the wall and sunkcn brow,
Become the wnnderingS ofeach vein.
The shadowy hand so thin and pale!
The lanCuid step, the dropping head
The long wrcath- OF neglected huir!
The lip whence red and smile arc fed:
And having watch'd thus, day by day.
Light, life and color pass away,
To see, at length, the CLASSY eye
Fix dull in dread mortality,
Till the grave sets its sign of death.

AMERICAN TOBACCO.-The duty on AMERICAN
Tobacco, imported into England, il only about I%eive
hundred per cent. Sd we learn from the British
Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, on looking about
to find articles which viii bear the Increased rate of
duty during the war with Russia, thinks that tobacco
duty will do as it is, particularly as ne a"'1; una TINS
revenue ia improving from year to year. We quote !:
That is O wonderful state Of things, and think It
one of those cuses to which to apply the toctrlne OF
let well alone. uIear, hear.I Were we to tn;mPer
with it, | 10 not think we should get a very large
sum. We might break down the revenue Il'osether'
and enable the smueslcr to have the upper hand. =
This duty OF 1000 per cent. yields a revenue Of
about S25y 0O0, 900 and all derived from one article OF
American production. That will do for a free trade
country, and for a Government as fond OF Tree trade
treaties as Great Britain is. 80,
The duty upon tobucco in Great Britain has varied
considerably in fifty years: In lsoi 1t was Is. "a; IN
1911 it was raised to 2s. ID: in 1871 II was turtner
raised 10 Is; in 1881 il was reduced 10 Sat which
sum it remains, and yielding moro than twice the
value Of the tobacco exported from the United States.
The revenue has also doubled within thirty years

The Lost Child.

On Saturday morning of last week little
girl some three years old, daughter of II.
McCsbe, Of this town, started to drive away
the cows. The little boy, after sending
his sister through the woods, went eff TO
play, and did not return until about 8
O'Clock P. NJ. The parents supposng the
girl with her brother, remained unconcern.
ed until his return when the truth, awful
truth to parents mind, came upon them.
that their child was lost in the woods
Rapid search was made by the almost fran
tic mother till evening; when, the father
returning, the neighborhood was rallied,
and the woods, for limited distance was
searched bat in vain. No trace or track
could be found. The search was continu-
ed during the night with torches but With
ou. success. II was dark and rainy. The
mother became wild and almost frantic
Morning came, but with it no child.
Early on the Sabbath our village was
summoned for assistance. Never was a
call so cbeerfully and heartily responded
10. Every body who was able to travel
was on the ground at eight O'Clock. Lines
were formed with men SO close that not a

To sver be cheerful and gay,

Are barred from sunsbins's ray.
But why 10 9 sd to nieht7
No smiles upon thy lovely face,
Thy heart last eve SO bright,
SCENE IN sadness now TO waste.
Hast thou some loved one lostl
That you should look 80 sad,
Or has thy cheerful smiles been tosi
BY some lesO worthy rival Inald1
Conld we but the secret guess,
Which makes thee sad tonight,
And closes the fount Of thy happiness.
We would thy cares respite.
The gloom which weighs thee down,
Would coon depart from thee, I|li
No more thy heart 10 wound,
Thy ringing laugh again be free.
No dark and drsary rays
Would Rlimmer o'er thy path again,
But friendly voices, JOYOUS say,
All hail TO the Woodland Queen.
