A New Remedy,

A German who resides in Mill Creek
township, while recently suffering from q
pulmonary attack, sent for physician
who resides on College Hill. In q short
time the doctor called on him, prescribed
two bottles Of cod liver oil, and receiving
his fee of eight dollars, was told by the
German, who disliked the size Of the bill,
that be noed not come again. The Ger
man, who, by-the-by, had not heard the
doctors prescription very well, supposed
he could get the oil and treat himself
The doctor saw no more Of his patient for
some time, but Cne day riding past the
residence of the German, he was pleased
TO see him out in the garden, digging lust
ily. The case seemed such proof of the
virtues of cod liver oil that be stopped to
make more particular inquiries about It,
"You seem to be getting very we'll, -
said he, addressing the German.
"Yaw, ish well" responded the for
mer sick man.
"You took as much oil as told you p
queried the doctor.
"Oh yaw, l have used more as four gal,
Ions of de dog liver oil
"The what? ?" said the astonished doc
tor.
"De dog liver oil dat you say l shall
take. have killed most every fat little
dog could catch, and de dog liver Oh
have cure. 1t is great medicine, dat dog
liver OIL
The doctor had nothing to say, but rode
quick away, and noticed in his mem0ran
dunn book that consumption might be s'
readily cured with dog liver as cod lve'
oil.-Ctn Com.

Mr.. BENTON AND Dr. BEEcHER-The
venerable Dr. Lyman Bescher attended
the lecture of Mr. Benton on the Union,
before the Mercantile Library Association,
and was introduced to the distinguished
politician, in the ante-room of the fremont
Temple. The sx Senator, in the course Of
his lecture, depicted the dissolution Of the
Union BY the figure Of a confagra,ion that
consumed every thing in its path. Now
DR.. Bsecher is one of the most hopeful old
gentlemen Of the age; he has seen the
Union at the very verge Of dissolution at
least eight times since be has preached the
gospel and, from his well known charac-
ter and opinions, it is safe, We think, to
infer that be saw through the weakness Of
Mr.. Benson's logic, did not assent to bis

persons, who have come down 10 US from

A story Of sunrise.
pr MRS. JULIET II. L. CAMPBELL.


Where The old Cathedral towers
With It's dimiy lighted dome,
Undernea its morning shadow
Nesiles my beloved home;
When the Summer morn is breaking
Glorious with its golden beams
THROUGH my open latticed window,
Matin music wildly streams.
Not the peal Of deeptoned organ
Smiles the air with surging sound
No; the voice Of singing maiden,
Signing softer music round
Long ere these have hailed the morning,
Is the mystic anthem heard,
Wildly, fefvently outpouring
From the bosom Of bird!
Every morn he takes his station
On the Cross which crowns the spire,
And, with heaven-born inspiration,
Vents in voice his bosom's fire.
Every morn, when light and shadow
Struggling, blend their gold and grey
Prom the Cross-mid-way TO heaven
Streams his holy melody!
Like the summons from the turrets
OF an Eastern mosque II seems:
.Come TO prayer-to prayer, ye Faithful! y
Echoes through my morning dreams.
-Heedful of the invitation
OF the pious messenger,
Lo! Join In meek devotion
With the lonely worshiper!
And a gushing, glad thanksgiving
From my inmost heart doth thrlli,
Up-high up-to God in Heaven!
Mingling with the music's irill.
Then the boy who rests beside me
Softly opes his starry eyes;
Tosses back his streaming ringiets-
Gazes round in sweet surprise!
He. though sleeping, felt the radiance
Struggling through the curtained gloom
Heard the glad harmonious hymnlng
Break the stiffness of my room.
These, de!iciously commIngled
With the rapture OF hIs dreams,
And the Heaven Of which Eve told him,
On his childish vision CLEANS!
g lardian seraphs !-viewless spirits!
Brooding DER the enchanted air:
Pause, with folded wings. to listen
To the lispings of HIS prayer
Up to the .sRecording-Angel,"
When their work ou earth is done,
They will bear the guileless accents
or my infants OrIson!
