April he said

Tentive perhaps might say cure, Of hydrophobia,
a case came to my knowledge many years ago. Of a
gentleman who bitten by his dog which proved to

believe it, and therefore, neglected all precautions
until he seized with the symptoms of the dreadful
disease, and they had proceeded far to leave
doubt of what would be the result when this prescrp

which was perhaps, the only way of arresting the
disease after it had gone SO far.

produce fears that he would never waken, but which
was followed by convalence and entire recovery.

A CLEVER JoxE-Referring to the 4th of July cele-
bration at Old Point correspondent Of the Philadel
phia Inquirer says:
An insdvertent joke was perpetrated yesterday at
Richmond by the humane and gallant Miss Surgeon
Walker. Among the visitors at the late Confederate
capital the officers of the British gunboat Styx.
Miss Walker, D. D., mistaking them for officers of
our navy invited them to seat the platform.
The English officers accepted, and when they we're
comfortably seated Miss Surgeon Walker arose, and
read with good emphasis and discretion "The Dec,ar-
alton of Independence" The officers of the Styx
acknowledged the They patiently listened to
the charges against George III. They never heard
them before, in conspicuous position ennnciated
by fair lady.

The Spirit Of the Flowers

Which is the loveliest wreath
Which are the sweetest flowers,
That are cuIled to deck q mortal brow,
Prom my sun-lit, dewy bowersf"
And the fairy Spirit paused,
With glance Of besming light;
Hol3ine bis radiant purple winga
Der bell and blossom bright.
Tie Bride had q starry chaplet,
In the dark waves Of her hair;
The orange.bloom and the myrtle shone
IL their glossy beauty there.
But sorrow-clouds were passing
Ger the rich blue of her eye,
and tie gems on her bosom trembled
With tie deep and throbbing sigh
Leaves Of the glistening laurel
Flashed in the courtly throBg-
Shedding halo round the brow
OF the kingly Child Of Song.
Ba: dim, dim shadow rested
WEAKNESS dwelt there;
Paint were those perfumed chambers.
To the breezy forest air.
False were the honeY'd words Of praise,
That in whispers fioated by.
False was the clasp Of many hand,
The glance CT many an eye!
The king cup and the daisy,
And purple violet smiled,
On The white and open forehead
OF the joyous, bounding child.
70 troubled thoughts were there
No mournful memory shed
weight Of gloom Ger the golden cur!s
Of that young and glorious head!
With merry shout of glee,
To his mothers arms he sprung;
TIE Springs green, messy primrose-baunts
With his silYery laughter rung!
The Spirit of the Flowers nlRrk'd
That radiant infant brow;
With voice like fairy uusic-tones
He murmured soft and low;
There is no dazzling chaplet,
No wreath Of jeweled pride.
No bloom so rarely beautiful
