THE GREAT EASTERN.


EHE GREAT EASTERN.
Now I've time, aud viii tell you,
All about my recent trip,
On the railroad, down 20 lothian,
To see the great steam Ship.
First, I'll tell you Of my reception,
FOR, with the Embassadors from JAPAN
stopped at house on Broadway,
Called the metropolitan.
When I entered this great Hotel,
A gentleman most polite
In our book, your name please write
Then made my mark upon their book,
In manner no ways small: lsaidi
When the smiling Clerk behind the counter,
you're from lsaac's Union HALL"
assured him had the pleasure,
OF haiing from that spot;
Says he, ''my friend we're full tonight,
So you'll have to take cot"
Then he showed me In the parlor.
To soft and dOwny cot,
Aud with regrets, assured me,
Next day they'd change my lot.
Next day they chsnRed Il truly
OF their friendship as proof
They placed me Ia the highest IOOin
They had beneath the roof.
When got down stairs once more
As l am rather lat,
l told the Clerk l cJal1 not climb
So many stairs as that.
The Leland took me by the hand,
Says h, "my clever ieller,
Ifyoure moi used TO getting hi gh,
Wen put you in the cellar"
l told him l WAS satisfied
With anything he'd do,
But # it was the same to him
I'd stop between the Two.
Then they made me quite contsnted
And III say to every nan,
When next you visit New York City,
Stop at-the Metropolitan.
But in telling ofmy reception,
| have let the subject slip,
| must now tell you all about
My visit TO the Ship.
The Ship was anchored in the stream,
md climbed up ladder OF ropes
when the ladies went on board,
ley showed no little hoops.
L rything about tho Ship
Even the prica paid for seeing her
For dollar was the charge.
The ship was very dirty
They had not prepared at all.
For visit from the Proprietor
OF ISAACs UNION HALL
Then left the Ship disgusted,
And bought my stock for Fall,
And can now supply with CLOTHING
AL that visit UNION HALL.

FELLOw CITizENg Shakespeare, who was
the wisest man since Solomon, saw these
times and has foreshadoWed them in his won

ance of our enthusiasm we draw upon him
for the language of jubilation; for what else
did be mean than just such an event as this,

IT is stated bya correspondent that cauteriza-
ton by hot tallow IS an immediate cure for in
growing nails. lie says;
'The patient on whom first tried this was
young lady who had been unable to put on a shoe
for several months and decidedly the worst case
| have ever seen. The disease had been of long
standing. The edge of the nail was deeply un-
dermned; the granulations formed high ridge,
covered with skin, and pus constantly oozed from
the root Of the nail the whole toe was swollen
and extremely tender and painful My mode Of
proceeding was this: put very small piece of
tallow in a spoon and heated it over lamp un-
til it became very hot, and dropped two or three
drops between the nail and granulations The
effect was almost magical. Pain and tenderness
were at once relieved, and in few days the
granulations were all gone the diseased parts
dry and destitute of feeling, and the edge Of the
nail exposed so as to admit of being pared away
without any Inconvenience. The cure was COM
plete, and the trouble never returned. ! have
tried this plan repeatedly since, with the most
satisfactory results The operation causes but
little if any pain if the tallow is properly heated
4 repetition might in some cases be necessary,
although never have met with case that did
not yield to one application. Admitting the theo
nv of DIR. Lorinrer TO be correct, the modus ape
randi is very plainly to be seen. The liquid
cautery nsinuates itself in every interstice under
the nail, accomplishing in one minute, without
pain, all that can be effected by the painful ap-
plieation of nitrate of silver for several weeks"

The sunlight is beautiful, mother,
And sweetly the flowers bloom to-day,
And birds in the branches of hawthorn
Are caroling ever so gay;
And down by the rocks in the meadow
The rill ripplos by with song;
And, mother, ], too, have been singing
The merriest all the day long.
Last night was weeping, dear mother,
Last night was weeping alone;
The world was so dark and dreary,
My heart it grew heavy as stone!
thought of the lonely and loyeless-
All lonely and loveless was |
can scarce tell why it was, mother,
But, oh was wishing to die!
Last night was weeping, dear mother,
But Willie came down by the gate,
And whispered Come out in the moonlight,
I've something to say to you Kate.
Oh mother, TO him am dearer
Than all the wide world beside,
lie told me so out in the moonlight
lie called me his darling, his bride!
So now, Twill gather Inc roses
To twine ia my long braided hair;
And Willie will come in the evening
And will smile when he sees me so fair;
And out in the moonlight we'll wander,
And down by the old hawthorn tree,
Oh mother, wonder if any
Were ever so happy as We?

ter past ten, were exhorted to come forward
and witness to any particular visible at that
time ahd place. All, however, was in vain
until about a fortnight afterward. The sub
ject by that time was avoided by us as much
as possible, while the ladies' were present
but one forenoon. while my son and were
speaking Of it as the maid was laying the
luncheon-cloth, he observed -
"Do you know, father, have been think
ing good deal about the odd appearance Of
that horrible mans head and have come to
the conclusion that If vas not bald at all, but
shared ~
"Good" saidI SIN pretty sure my lad
you're right; and in that case he must have
been an escaped hnatic. This gives us a
clue"
"Please, sir" interrupted the maid, with a
courtesy, Mr. John StoTkes at No. 23, av ad
is cad shaved lately for the scarlet fever"
"For scarlet fever" cried | "Eureka,
Eureka !" and clapped my hat on and rush
ed off to 23 like lunatic myself.
Mr.. John Stokes was still grievously i'll,
and not to be seen by anybody but his lawyer,
said the servant.
"And am not his lawyer my good man
Can't you see I"
So went up, as had conjectured would
be the case, to the third story, the same in
which was our own sittng-room in No. 10.
Poor Mr. John Stokes was lying in bed-and
luckily, fast asleep with the identicsl shaved
head and scarlet face that had been so i'm
pressed upon all our memories.
ale has been delirious for days, poor fel-
low !" said the nurse; "and it would be a
pity to wake him for any business matter
would it not y
said it would be a great pity, and that it
was not to be thought of; and then asked
whether the sick man was ever left alone.
"Neyer sir"
"Are you quite sure of that y said I, Sc
verey.
We'll, sir, | may say never that is, cx-
cept just for my going down stairs for his
breakfast"
"And what time does he breakfast"
"Well, sir, about ten o'clock"
Between ten and quarter past, | sup
pose ?"
AYES, sir" replied the astonished nurse !;
"just So"
The window nearest our house, was,
found, unbolted. 1t was clear that Mr.. john
Stokes-who afterwards got well Of his fe-
yer, and, | hope, recovered his hair-was the
apparition that so spoiled our breakfast a
fortnight ago, and set our digestion wrong
ever since.
The only mystery remaining was how,
even in delirium, human feet could have gone
so swiftly and surely upon that narrow ledge
along the fronts Of three broad houses, and
how they could have remained invisible to
any eyes save ours.
