One solemn, heavy undertone of woe is ever

and moral nature of man, lave been hurled
upon the world, by its great minds, with such
an impetus that they are penetrating to the
lowest stratum of society; and man, SO 'fear-
fully made" is beginning 20 think it worth
while to take the trouble to understand his own
organization, and the best method of keeping
it in normal condition. Poisons GO down now
much less easily than a few years since impos-
Tors are looked upon with a cold and suspicious
