MONSTER CYENDER.-A London paper
says that the largest cylinder in the world
has Just been successfully cast at Millwall.
1t was is feet long, 6 feet 10 diameter; 80
tons of metal were poured into the mould
which, when bored out and finished, will
weigh about % tons, or So, ,720 lbs. These
cylinders are intended for an iron steamer
Of proporiiopsly monsterous dimension
Her length will be 975 feet, her beam SO
fee. and her height so. She will be built
entirely of iron, and divided into compart-
ments of 60 feet each perfectly water tight.

BaDYPs Dead
One day, chsnced 70 meet,
In the street,
A pretty little child
Crying bitterly aud Wild ..-..
"What ails thee little one7" said /,
Sobbingiy he made reply, .-
As he raised his curly head.
"Baby's dead!'
may, my darling, DO not weep,
Baby's only gone to sleep:
He will soon wake up sRain!''
But my words were all in vain;
s'He has never slept so long;
He is gone, forever gone;
For, kind sir, my mother said
Baby's dead"'
Then l took him by the hand,
Sircve to make him understand, -
How far happier than we
Baby was with Deity!
But twas throwing words away,
For, ever aud anon, he'd say
As he, weeping, raised his head,
"Baby's dead!"
So within these hearts Of ours
In lfu's later, autumn hours,
Stricken hopes like withersd hOwers
Rustic as we tread; rgH
When some fsvorite wish Is crossed,
Or some cherished hope is lost
To our souls all tempest-tossedY
"Baby's dead!"
Kindly words and gentle deeds,
To the heart hatinly bleeds,
Bring but little consolation
To the spirits desOlatoE;
If, for aye, sweet hope hath fed,
"Baby's desd!"
For ever dead! RICHARD coE.

The most curious item of Chinese news
received, relates to a proclamation by Yang,
the Eastern prince, on the subject Of tenn
perance. In this be proclaims Gods alb
horanee of drunkenness, and says be has
sent down bis holy command, forbidding
men to drink wine. Yang therefore forbids
{ all princes and mobiles, ministers ef State
and people; brethren and sisters, to indulge
in the use Of wine, even privately, under
The penalty of being Immediately behead-
ed. Thisis even stronger than the Maine
Law.

Salt Rheum Radically Cured.
Mrs. L. Rhumgh, of Beaver, Pennsylvania,
cured of Salt Rheum of eight or nine years
standing. II was of the most painful character,
covering the entire surface Of the hands, and
portions Of the arms and person. Fhst called
nearly four years ago. In four months the skin
became soft and smoolnf ana REMAINS ehtlEeIy
free from disease to this tim E. The above case
is selected, because one of the first cured in the
West, and best shows its permanoncy, Those
who have been similarly affected and cured re-
side in the vicinity of nearly every appointment
to whom reference can be given. Equal sue
cess has attended the treatment of White Swell
lings, Scrofula, Abcesses and Fever Sores, some
Of which have been noticed in the moathly re-
ports. In the treatment of all such, we rely
mainly upon internal remedies that are cacula-
ted to neutralize the acid substances supporting
diseases, and by exciting to healthful activity
the skin and other secretory organs, to force
noxious excrements to escape by natural chan
els. Hence the cure is radical without deple.
ton, and instead of endangering the Lungs as
superficial healing Of ulcers or scattering" of
humors invariably does, it serves to protect and
strengthen those vital parts. Our remedies are
selected exclusively from the Botanic Kingdom,
carefully rejecting all narcotic and POsons, =
They can be borne by the most delicate and fee
BILE constitutions, and never increase but usual
ly diminish liabilities to colds. As we do not
make sick to make well, or tear down to build
up again, patients may remain at home and at
tend 10 their ordinary vocatiOns during treat
ment.
