TNHIS Remedy, claimed by the medical pro-
Il fession and the multiplied thousands that
have used it and tested its wonderful curative
properties, to be the greatest discovery in med
zeal science and natures own remedy, is the
result of years of toll and study by one Of Ohios
favorte physicians, in order to produce some
thing that would meet the wishes of suffering
humanity, and thousands from the princely PAL
ace and humble cottage can testify to the inn
mediate relief found by its use. For want of
space we only offer u few of the many eviden-
ces in its favor.

1t is also the intention Of the publishers to IN

to it several departments Of interest and practi-
cal use not to be found in any other Monthly
Periodical.
In commencing the 7th volume, the publish

known that the present propr etols OF thls Mag

have not only done this, but have carried the

that he had analysed six specimens Of Lager;
"the chief constituents of each being three
per cent. water, three per cent. alcohol, and
two, four or six per cent. Of extracted matter,

CIRCULATION OF CONGREsSfoNAL
SPEECHES,

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives The statistics of the num-
Der of speeches sent by United States Sena-
tors to various sections during the first five
months of the present session. Some idea
may be had OF the enormous tax of money
time, and labor imposed upon the members
of Congress, by glancing orer the figures
appended to the various names. The average
cost of these documents is said to be SO per
hundred. which is paid out Of the pockets or
those who send them. The number distribu.
ted by tina members OF the House Of Repre-
sentatives cannot be less than three or -four
million, and they must doubtless exert con-
siderable influence upon the minds OF the
reading portion of the country, whether suili'
cient, however, to pay for the expense be-
slowed is questionable.

NOVEL METHOD TO PREVENT PofAfo NoTs
Some Belgian boys few years since, for
amusement, inserted some peas into potatoes
and planted them. The result was an un-
usual yield of peas and crop of tubers peri
fectly sound, though In field where the pota-
toes were badly affected. Acting on the
hint, Mr.. jackson, of Leeds, England, develo-
ped the theory that the potato, being def.
cient in nitrogen, would receive an equivalent
of that article from The pea during the time
Of growing ard so its tendency to diseases
would be counteracted. lie then tried tho
experiment, inserting four five peas into each
patato, carefully avoiding injury to the eyes,
and then planting in the usual way. The re-
suit was perfect success--an unusual yield OF
both peas and potatoes, and the latter per-

found healthy the next spring, and were
again planted with the same results.

THE FATAL FLOWER,
by ECHO QUILLPEN.

By ECHO ouILLrEN.
Twas on Niag'ras lofty height,
Our Ida May, so lovely gay,
Viewed from the giddy precipice
The plunging tide and sporting spray,
The aqueous sheet, its smooth descent
Down natures wondrous battlement.
Thrilled with delight the scene she scan'd,
Its grand magnificence ador'd,
And peering close, fiow'r she sped
Where human foot had ne'er explor'd
A single fowr without mate
TO share with it its high estate.
That flowret fair whose color bright
Enhanced the beauty Of its smile
Its petals op'ning to the light
Its pearly bosom to reveal
Looked sweetly up so winsome bland,
TO charm the eye and tempt the hand.
Adown the cliff the blossom hung,
10 gain it Ida May would dare,
And down from rock to rock she sprang
As lightly as gazella most fair
Her comrades terrified with fear
Cried after her--She did not hear.
Soon, soon she reached the pending crag
That high o'erlooked the awful 'pyss;
Here 'gainst its rugged side the fiow,r
Degned life to draw and sunlight kiss
With exult beaming in her eyes,
Sweet Ida gazed upon the prize.
Impet'ous girl she knew no fear
Thought only Of the trophy "won"-
or vent'rng where no other dare
OF praise from the applauding tongue:
Ambition swayed her ardent soul
Mild Prudence no more had control.
And quickly kueeling over the verge,
She reached far down her lily hand
And seized the how'r but, oh! the surge
That whirled beneath her 'gainst the
strand
Upheaving its tumult'ous breast
A moment did her gaze arrest!
Appalled-her equipoise she lost
A horrid shudder chilled her blood
A shriek-it seem'd voiceless gasp
She dropped-a victim to the flood;
They found poor Ida in an hour =.
Her hand yet grasped "1hc Fatal f1orer."
