Why should our hearts be duller!
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather,
All, mel this glory and this grief

This Is the parting season-this s.

And lovers now, with many a kiss,
Their long farewells are signing.
Why Is earth so gaily drest, ~ q. Il

A funeral seems where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
Each one of us, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return TO view the gauty ear, - Trr
But not with boyish laughter;
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brows with silver laden,
And thou this glen nayst seek again,
But never more maiden!

Will touch her teeming bosom,
And that few brief months will bring ..r

"THE HISTORY OF PRosTITUTIoN."-A
work with this title by ID Sanger, is noticed by
a n. Y. correspondent of the Christian Intelli-
geneer, who says
There are a half dozen solemn facts in that
extraordinary work, that all Christians, both of
town and country, ought to look ia the face.
As the "house of pleasure" in New York
for this is the modern name for what Solomon
called the "doors of he'll" -arel largely recruited
from country town and farm house, it ought to
be known by every wretched girl who meditates
a life in the brothel, that the average duration
of the abandoned woman's life in New York is
Just four years! 1t requires only that brief
space of wild raKelry, champaigne-ing, and ca
rousing-of drfnass degradation, and disease
to reduce a beautiful girl of eighteen into a
loathsome corpse, flung out to the corruption of
a "Potter's Field" 1t ought to be known, too,
hat the most of these wretched women are
badly educated-there are a few exceptions;
but DIR. Sanger tells us that "education is a
low standard among them" Hltreatment, by
parents and husbands, sent one-tenth of this
army of vice into their wretched calling. But
the saddest fact of all, and the one most dis
graceful to our Christian civilization, is that
full one-fourth of the lost women of London
and New York were driven to the streets and
the brothels by destitution! The terrible al
tentative has been starvation or-helli
How many a ~virtuous reader of these lines,
now safe in virtue, because safe in competence,
might, if sharp necessity had forced her to such
a decision, be now in the chambers of the court
esan! Nor will it answer for us to labor for
the lost woman's recovery by Magdalen Asy-
lums, &C., until we have labored harder to save
the daughters of poverty from being lost through
actual lack of daily bread. Employment at
fair remuneration will do more to rescue in
season those for whom the vortex of the brothel
is yawning, than all the Magdalen Societies in
existence. For while those Societies afford
occasional recovery to the few, the other method
will ensure prevention and safety to the many

ST. Louis, Dee. 31.-The overland mail,
with dates to the Sd inst, arrived last night
with five passengers. Left San Francisco on
the Sd, and stopped at Fort Smith. Road from
San Francisco to Red River good; thence to
Upton very bad. Accounts of ella River
mines continue favorable. One of the Stations
on the route was robbed of the entire stock of

will be found in another column, the members
of the Ashland Co. Agricultural Society met

TNHIS new and important Discovery in the itreat.
l. ment of tuberculosis, Consumption was made
by the celebrated DR.. John Francis Churchill Of Par.
is, and first communicated to the French Acadeu1vzof
Medicine in 1856. 1t has been adopted and is now
used throughout the Continent of Europe with unpre-
cedented success as a cure and preventive of this
most formidable sceuEee of the Human Race. The
Hypophosrhites are recommended by the most emf.
nent Physicians of N. Y, who prescribe for IL their
patients. So long ago as 1855. Dr. CHURCHILL bysa
series OF scientific deductions came to the conclusion.
that the proximate cause, or at all events, an essential
condition of tuberculosis, Consumption :, was 4 de-
crease in the system of the phosphorus it containsin
Inference, that the means of curing the disease con-
sisted in restoring tie deficient elements
For this purpose, it was necessary 10 select some
compound of phosphorus which should be at TIE
same time oxydIzable and assimilble-that is. cana
BILE of entering into and forming O part of the sys-
TEN. These conditions were found to exist in tbe Hv.
rophosphites ofLime, Soda and Potash, which seam
ed best to fulfil the two requisites of oxydation. ar
combustion, and assimilation. Theuse of the ,Hy-
pophosphites shows these preparations to have a two
fold specific action. Or The one band they ipcrease
the principle, whatever that may be, which consi
tutes nervous force; and on the other they are the nfoss
powerful blood generating agents, far superior to any
hitherto known.
The Physiological effects of their use are shown
by an increase OF nervous power, sometimes even from
the first day of their administration, togetherwith an
unusual feeling of comfort and strength. The appe-
tite increases oftenin an extraordinary manner. 1hS
