week or two since to visit a Canadian
brick-layer, living at Cold Spring, and
who was suffering from an attack of
plcurisy. DR.. f. ordered him to APP
ply a poulticc to the part affected, and
also left a potion to be taken internal

the outside application more palatablc
than the powder, reversed the physi-
clans directions, and the next day
found himself restored to health. On
his rounds the next morning, the
worthy physician called to see his
bricklaycr patient, and was surprised
as we'll rs pleased to find him up and
at work, and attributing his recovery

So ho! you are well already, arc

When the winged moment swiftly flies,
And loved ones must depart:
Not yet is waited far and near.
Ger hills and mountains now more dear
Where heart first spoke to heart.
Not yet the gentle mother sighs.
When loving offspring close their eyes,
To sleep that last. cold sleep:
Sadly, but trustingly they gaze,
Adown lifc's dark and th"rny maze,
And nouGht can do but weep.
Not yet the giddy and the gay.

With pure and happy brow.

The light Of day seems dark as night,
There comes Il sudden, chilling blight,
Upon my waking eyes.

TRADERS AND TRIcKsrERs.-It was q
shrewd device of the Ancients to defy,
in Mercury, at once the God of trade
and of the tricks Of trade. Divine
honors were paid to him equally by
merchants engaged in the exchange
of commodities, and by cheats en-
gagged in the adulteration or stealing
of commodities. The idea intended to
be conveyed by this apothocsis was,
that it is difficult for those engaged
in traffic to resist the temptations Of
their profession. 1t is to be feared
that some portions of the mercantile
community now worship the heather
deity in both his aspects. AS old
John Jacob Astor briefly stated it,
they cheats each other and calls it
business" We wish the other asser-
ton was as false as the grammar is
bad.
