THE FIRM.-We find the following in the
Washington States. The firm of which the ex-
Governor speaks is an extensive one, though we
do not recollect of ever before seeing the name
in print:
Ex-Governor Seymour, of New York, re-
Gently made speech.in st. Paul, Minnesota
Speaking of slavery, he truthfully said : 1t is
sustained by the firm of Weaver, Wearer &
Planter, and two of the partners live up North.
Every one knows but for the looms of New Eng
land and Old England it could not live day
The loudest denunciations against slavery are
made by men with cotton shirts on their backs
The most fervent pulpit exhortatons against
slavery come from men who wrap themselves for
repose at night in cotton sheets who lay their
heads upon cotton pillows, and 60 to sleep
thanking God that they are better than the man
down South"

HORSE CENsUs.-The following curious ac-
count is given in Appleton's Cyclopedia, of the
number Of horses in various parts of the world {:
Z" The general estimate has been eight to ten
horses in Europe for every hundred inhabitants.
Denmark has forty-fye horses to every hundred
inhabitants, which is more than any European
country. Great Britain and Ireland have $780,
900 horses France 100000; Austrian Empire,
exclusive of Italy, 100000; Russia, $500, ,OOO
The United States have 5000, 700, which is more
than any European country the horses of the
whole world are estimated at 5742O OOO

VERY GooD.-The Sacramento Bee seems to
be of the opinion that all things have their uses
and that the independence of servant girls in
California will have the effect to make their mis-
tresses independent, by compelling them to do
more of their own work; and remarks, rather
ungallantly:
If California has brought, or has 5een in
strumental in bringing about this resut-giving
servant girls more freedom and independence,
and forcing wives and mothers who have been
idle before, to labor little for living, she will
be entitled to much glory. Hers be that great

ALFALFA FOR PAsrURE.-The merits of Alfalfa
in affording green pasturags during our dry
season, are sustained by writer in the Alameda
Gazette of Oct. 20, as follows " | have small
patch of it near my house, the seed of which
was planted in Christmas week last. 1t is among
the timber, and about the dryest and poorest
spot on my farm, but it is to-day matted over
with beautiful evergreen clover lin blossom, J
and presents an appearance that would make
the owners of some of the half starved droves
that have seen in this valley during the past
summer, think of second Eden. / would fur
ther remark for the benefit of any skeptic who
may attribute the green and fourishing appear
ance of my Alfalfa to the shade afforded by the
trees, that the result is similar in places where it
has no shelter whatever"

A WINE BATH-A PLEASANT ITEM FOR LOVERS
OF CHAMPAGYE.-An American traveller in the
streets of Paris, seeing the words, " Wine baths
given here" exclaimed
"Well these French are luxurious people"
Then, with true Yankee curiosity, and the feel
ing that he could afford whatever any one else
did, he walked in and demanded 'wine bath"
Feeling wonderfully refreshed after it, and
having to pay but five francs, he asked, in some
astonshment how wine bath could be afford
ed SO cheaply. His sable attendant, who had
been a slave in Virginia. and enjoyed a sly bit
of humor, replied =" Oh, E1assa, we just pass
it along into anudder room, where we glib baths
at four francs"
Then you throw it away, suppose
"No massa den send it lower down, and
charge three francs BATH Dars plenty of peo-
pie who amt so berry particular, who will battle
in it after this, at two francs head. Den, massa,
we let the common people hab it at franc
apiece"
''Then, of course, you throw it away" ex-
claimed the traveller, who thought this was 60
ing even beyond Yankee profit.
NO, indeed massa," was the indignant reply
accompanied by a profound bow; "no, indeed
massa, we are not so 'sravagant as dat comes
to; we jes bottle it up den, and send it to 'Mer-

illustrates mothers love: q In some spring
freshet, a river widely washed in its shores and
rent away bough whereon bird had built a
cottage for her summer hopes. Down the white
and whrling stream drifted the green branch
with its wicker cup of unhedged song, and flut-
tering beside it, as it went, the mother-bird.-
Unheeding the roaring river, on she kept her
cries OF agony and fear piercing the panses of
the storm. How like the love of the old fash
Toned mother, who followed the child she had
plucked from her heart all over the world :
Swept away by passion that child might be it

BY RUTH RENToN.


There's cottage near the green,
Dewy blossoms fall between,
Like sweet angels in dream
Dream of heaven.
There's face that comes to me,
Pale and beautiful 10 see,
Dearer than the earth to me
Ne, her child.
Wild and wide our ways apart;
Though | press my throbbing heart,
Mother dear, the tears will start
Start for thee.
Oh, | yearn for one caress,
Of the hand that used to bless,
Making pains and ills all less
Less for me.
Love-tones fall upon my way,
Buds drop fragrant day by day,
And learn to softly pray
Pray for them
That their hearts of noble worth,
May not trail along the earth,
But soar with wings of angel birth
Birth SO pure.
Well know thy bosom yearns,
And thy cheek the hot tear burns,
For the child who ne'er returns
Turns to thee
Never more can sit and sing,
Like a bird with FURNISHED wing,
At thy knee, as Offering
Offering of love.
Life hath duties It's not play;
Love, and grieve, and suffer they,
Zen who sing along the way
Way of life.
Mother, how long to know,
If thy heart keeps warm its glow,
And thy laugh hath still its flow
Flow ofjoy.
Only keep thy smile for me,
1t will WOO me back to thee,
Where the cottage decks the lea
Lea of green.
Mother, pray that | may. stand,
Strong amid the toiling band,
Till we gain the shoreless land
Land of God.

is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in new parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial proper
ties.
In all cases of a dropsical tendency, it is gen.
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
in the early stage of the disease.
In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper
quantities, as a diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
eminently e1icacious in the most obstinate cases,
when even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief. In
cases of Flatulency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to
Young Infants, in all those paroxy ysms of gripping
pain in the stomach and bowels to which they
especially subject, as well as in the collie of
grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion
dictates its USE never fails to relieve the debili-
ty attendant upon protracted chronic malades,
low temperament and exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.

throughout all the Atlantic and Western States.
1t is made from the best barley that can be
selected in Europe, with the essence of an aro-

Analysed, it is perfectly pure Liquor, in its
effects mild and wholesome tonic. 1t is ex-

In Gravel, Gout and Rheumatism, in obstruc-
