The following pathetic endorsement was
found on one dollar bank note received at
the Commercial Bank, Burlington, VT, few
days ago:
'Tis my last lonely dollar,
Left dropping alone
All its brilliant companions
Are squandered and gone
No bills of its issue reflect back its nue.;
They went for mint-juleps,
And this must go, too!
So soon may I follow,
Where friendships decay
From the beggar's last dollar
The dimes drop away.
When the Maine Law is passed,
And the Groceries sink,
OF what use will be dollars
With nothing to drink.

If it had been an italian strike for Freedom a.

MEAsLEs.-T disease prevails exten.
sively in cities during the winter season, and
will generally cure itself, if only protected
against adverse influences. The Older per-
sons are less likely TO recover from this all
ment, for it very often leaves some lifelong
malady behind IL. The most hopeless forms
of consumptive disease are often the result
Of i'll conducted or badly managed measles.
In pine cases out of ten not particle OF
any medicine is needed.
Our Grst advice is, always. and under all
circumstances, send at once for an expert
enced physician. Meanwhile, keep the pa
tient in cool, dry, and wellaired room,
with moderate covering, in a position where
there will be no exposure to drafts of arr
The Thermometer should range at about IS
degrees where the bed stands. which should
be moderately hard, Of shacks, straw, or
curled hair. Crafty the instinct for cold
water and lemonade. It is safest to keep
the bed for several days after the rash has
began to die away The diet should be
light, and of an opening, cooling character
The main object of this article is to warn
persons that the greatest danger, is after the
disappearance Of the measles We would
advise that for three weeks after the patient
is well enough to leave his bed, he should
not go out Of the house, nor stand or sit for a
single moment near an open window or door,
nor wash any part of the person in cold wa
ter or warm, but wipe the hands and face
with a warm, damp-cloth. For gooa part
of the time the appetite should not be who'll
y gratifed; the patient should eat slowly of
light nutritious food. In one case, little
child, almost entirely well Of the measles,
got to playing with her hands in cold water;
it gradually dwindled away and died. All
exercise should be moderate, in order to
prevent cooling eff too quickly afterwards,
and to save the danger of exposure to drafts
of air, which by chilling the surface, causes
chronic diarrhea if it falls on the bowels !;
deafness for life if it falls on the ear or in
durable consumption if it falls on the lungs

COFFEE AS Mental Sf1MULANT. -Sohll-
Ter, during his hours Of composition, kept
at his side bottle of champagne or khen
ish wine, or cup of strong coffee Aor-
ace Walpole wrote usually from 10 to 2 o.
clock at night, always having strong coffee
by him. Sir William Jones drank great
deal of coffee to support him in his noctur
nal studies Baron de Grimm states that
Voitaire, few days prior to his death with
his characteristic activity and enthusiasm,
attended the rehearsal of the Acad nmy, and
insisted on the production Of new and i'm
portant edition Of their dictionary. 10 this
project many objections were started, which
he resolved to obvate in an elaborate dis
course. To strengthen himself for the task,
he swallowed prodigious quantity OF strong
coffee, and then continued to work for up
wards of twelve hours without interm1ssior.
This independent effort brought on an in
Aammation Of the bladder. For the pur-
pose Of relieving the pain he swallowed,
with his usual impatience, large quantity
of laudanum. The consequence was that
he fell into lethargy from which he never
entirely recovered.

Crowding round our neighbours way,

Sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then 30 often chide him
For his lack OF thrift and gain
Leaving on his heart shadow,
Leaving on our lives a staint
II knew the clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In cur blind and weak despairi
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
While It's only birds Of Eden,

Quivering through the heart Of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom Thorn

PRUDENCE. -Prudence ladies and gen
tlemen, prudence! But what is prudence ?
Not meanness- not to possess q niggardly
disposition. To be prudent is not to 6e
wasteful but to save everything you can
for your own and Others use-a pin and a
penny, crust Of bread and potatoe, a
scrap Of bread and an inch Of cloth. This
disposition is far removed from parsimony,
and it is virtue which all should appre-
ciate. 1t is painful to witness the waste in
some families. Large pieces of bread are
suffered to mould, and are then given to the
hogs; potatoes become sour and are useless,
and the leavlngs Of a good meal to-day are
thrown away, when they might answer for
to-morrow's dinner, With such people it
is waste, waste. nothing but waste Wood
is lavishly thrown upon the fire, chairs aud
tables are broken, and from the garnet to
the cellar the house looks as if some stray
bolt Of lightning had been wandering about
We love economical people we do sincere
ly-and never have we had reason to COM
plain oftheir meanness. Everything about
their dwelling looks neat and tidy, and
when you sit down to meal you can eat
comfortably without thinking of the peck of
dirt. Our young men and women miss it
sadly when they expend so much upon their
persons. Every week or two they want
something new, before their old garments
are half worn out THEY mtist learn pru-
dence. or want at some future day, will sit
at their door-steps

Said she had devoted herself to him long
time Under promise Of marriage, and all she
ever got from him was six little pigs. which,

dlminutive porkers until they attained a
goodly size and gave promise Of great por-

visit Of the Prince of wales.

A writer contributes to the ''Nation-
al Intelligencer" a lengthy article, in refer
,nce to the coming visit of the Prince Of
Wales to America. He was in Rome when
the Prince was visiting the ancient Mistress
Of the World, and thus speaks Of him as he
appeared with other royal personages at the
Carnival:
In the spring Of 1859 party of Ameri-
can gentlemen, coming from the far East,
arrived in Rome at the height Of the Carni-
wal, when all the world, crazy with good
humored excitement, was hurrying up and
down the Corso, or throwing confetti from
the balconies. There, for the first time,
they were confronted with royalty in various
guises-ro royalty in decay, in the gentleman
I1y form Of his Majesty Of Prussia, looking
with lacklustre eye ard distracted brain on
the scene of frolic before him; royalty in
full bloom, with strong tendency to luxu
RANT and seedy growth, in Queen Christina
Of Spain. s.fair, fat. and forty a pensioned
contented exile, covered with diamonds, and
her now surviving beauty Of all that was
once so captivating, the dainty little foot
that peeped from beneath her founces; and
lastly, royalty in the bud, a delicate youth
|of some eighteen summers, the heir of the
|only really stable kingdom Of Europe, mod
est, well hammered, joyous, taking his iuno-
[cent frolic with all the zest of boyhood, pei
ted and being pelted like the rest Of the
world, and happier in his careless mood than
he ever will be in the responsible and anx-
ious future before him.
50, one year ago, the prince was ''deE-
cate youth, modest, well-mannered, joy
our and despite his royal distinction, en-
'joyed with zest the innocent amusements of
the carnival. He was eighteen then. He
will, of course, be year older when be
reaches this side of the Atlantic, ''lovea-
BILE age" the ladies will no doubt say, as
with a sigh, they hope to see him. But
more Of him at Rome. The correspondent
Iadds:
A day or two later, one Of those Ameri-
cans had the honor Of being presented to the
boy prince at his modest and unpretending
quarters at the Hotel de Russia. He found
him at his studies. It was the hour of his
Italian lesson, and presently it was finished
and slender, rather delicate youth came
in, with countenance not unlike his mother,
as she was when this writer saw her, some
fifteen years ago. There was dignity which
affected nothing, and modest and inquiring
intelligence in the youths manner and con
versaton. It was the evident aim Of those
about him to put him in the way Of learning
whatever was useful from conversation as
we'll as books. He talked about the East,
about Egypt, and India, and China, and his
guest was glad to feel that perhaps his con-
Versation was not proitless.
| The American advised the Prince to visit
! America, and now that the visit is certain.
| ty, he is anxious that he should be received
in spirit worthy of our national character
and 10 accordance with the spirit Of our in
Istitutions.

NF The Vermont Patriot tells a story

former borrower, who had since, fortunate
ly, grown from poverty to independence -
They went into the garden. Passing along
walk fanked on either side with flowers OF
great beauty and variety, the visitor made
no remark until he came to potatoe patch,
