is termed influenza, these are unduly ex-

which then occur. The nose receives
three sets of nerves-the nerves fsmell,
those of feeling. and those of motion
The former communicate to the brain
the odorous properties substances with
which they come into contact, in diff

the third move the muscles of the
nose, but the power of these muscles is
very limited. When sneeze occuls all
these faculties are excited in high de-
gree. A grain of snuff excites the oil
factory nerves, which dispatch to the
brain the intelligence that "snuff has at

Ssiectso Poetry.
True Dignity.

There is an outward splendor. which
Dcceiyes the simple-oft the wise,
Who dream that meath covering rich,
The Dignity of Manhood lie-,
Forgetting that the outward state
Nay cloak both toolishness and sin,
While all that maketh Manhood great,
CLEANS like polished gem wittiinl
The love for truth--the will to do
An aim unbending. though it seem
Unto the multitude untrue.
Or bnt she madness of dream,
Which fears no Foree. nor Scorn. nor Jest,
But rushes onward TO the goal
-Hs--r,sg Ehas bcaFs with as9asss@s breast,
Doth wear that jewel in his soul
He who, sclf-wise, at Wisdom frowns,
And dscorns the thought he ns'er possessed,
Tho mcn shower on him fay'ring crowns,
Is but foolish slave at best
A slave to err0r-eaptiYe bound,
Who cropping in the shades of night,
Looks on the darkness wild around.
And calls the rayless Blackness iigSt!
Our being isan endless strife
Z ccaseless search for hidden things,
Aud he best knows the ends OF life,
Who spreads on high the boidest wings;
Who breaks the chain which Custom binds
Around the struggling limbs OF Man,
And for the future, labor finds
In reaping what his thought began.
The men of action-thcy who toll
While multitudes areund them play,
Aud by their ignorance despoiI
The free gifts of the blessed day
These are the men whose earnest thought,
Filled with che greatness of their strife,
And of the blessings 70 be wrought,
Bear the true dignity of life.
Before them spreads rayless night,
And shadows mocking I'LL their way
Behind them CLEANS fissliing light.
Which brings the fullncss of the day
Old thoughts. long worn as trussy chains,
Before the bright winged spirit fly,
Wits songs of hope fill sii the plains,
And cheers of gladness reach the sky.
The health of Life--the Sun-the Air,
Are free gifts Unto all mankind
But who to win gift more rare
The treasured FullneSs of the Mind
Must watch and toll and struggle long,
With sackcleth grid his restless soul,
And ddrs, tho 'gainst him rise the strong,
To rush whcre'er the strife-waycs roll I

ALARM OF FIRE.-The alarm on yesterday
morning, before day, was caused by the burn
ing of a portion of the furniture in the rooms
of Col. PICKETT. at the ST. Cloud. It's origin,
we learn, is shrouded in 'nystery. From APP
pearances, it would seem that the drawer of
his writing table was the first scene of the fire.
