A flaw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true in the en-
We none ofus know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let us speak well Of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or a sight may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile Of gladness
Is worn by the friend that we meet
To cover the soul full Of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh Of detection
Is heoved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lul suspicion to rest.
How often the friend we hold dearest
There noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms the purest, sincerest.
HaYe secrets they caunot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace our defects
Let ours be nobler ambition.
For base is the mind that suspects.
We none of US know one another,
And oft into error we fall
Then let US speak well of our brother,
Or spake not about him at all.

If we did not know that it is hardly pos
sible to exaggerate the cruelties practiced
by the Neopotan government and its sol
diers We should be inclined to doubt the
t'uth of the following account, which ap-
pears in letter to the London Times /:

From the Evening Post.


I'm bleeding at my heart for tae dearest,
Thy rashuesS and folly, and pride,
For still to my soul thou art nearest,
More precious than all things besides
And when am sure thou dost langnish
For treasure SO idly flung by,
My own heart is tortured with anguish,
And longs to thy comfort to fy.
But no. If thy heart is relenting,
Its own love must urge it to mine
With honest and noble repenting,
Becoming a spirit like thine.
Thou mayst know that this breast will re
ceive thee, -....
Nor taunt thee with weakness a word,
o let not thy folly still grieve thee,
Come back to thy nest, my poor bird.
Come back, while thy spirit is yearning
TO weep out its burden OF woe
On this heart. that shall bless thee, returning
Aud kiss every tear that shall tow.
Not in kindness to me, but thysell love,
In honor and reason, and truth /;
For affection, not pity norpelf love-
Come back TO the love Of thy youth.

SALADS AND SUMNER SoURs-Physiolog-
ical research establishes the fact that acids
promote the separation of the bile from the
blood, which is then passed from the system,
thus preventing fevers, the prevailing diseas-
es of the summer. All fevers are "bilioHs,"
that is, the bile is in the blood. Whatever
is antagonistic of fever is cooling 1t is q
common saying that fruits are Cooling"
aud also berries of every description it is
because the acidity which they contain aids
in separating the bile from the blood.
Hence the great yearning for greens and
lettuce, salads, in the early spring, these be.
ing eaten with vinegar hence, also the
taste for something sour, for lemonadeS, on
attack of fever. But, this being the case,
it is easy to see that we nullify the good
effects of berries in proportion as We eat
them with sugar or even with sweet milk or
cream If we eat them in their natural
state, fresh, ripe and perfect, it is almost i'm
possible to eat too many, or eat enough to
hurt US, especially if we atthem alone, and
not take any liquid with them whatever,
Hence, also, is buttermik. or even common
milk, promotive of health in summer time.
Sweet milk tends to biliousness in sedentary
people ;lsour milk antagonistic. The s. e)-
herds use sennate, and, milk dealers alum, to
make it sour the sooner. Buttermilk acts
like watermelons on the system.-IdlPs

The New York correspondent of the

Did it ever occur to you what capita
trap Broadway is for catching fugitive

here is the explanation Broadway is con-
stantly crowded with human beings, and
the fugitive having previously disguised
himself, so that be feels sure of escaping
detection seems to think that he will be
less observed in the thronged mart, than
in the scantily travelled side streets. Be-
sides if he is u perfect stranger here, he
