THE POOR MANS JEWELS.
Nv home il is a poor one.

Ny home it is poor one,
To all who pass it by:
They cannot see its beauty,
And neither. faith, can L;
That is, in paint or timber,
In doorway OF in roof
But that it has its beauties,
I'll quickly give you proof.
Come hither, young ones, hithcr,
Your fathers steps are near
That's Bet, with hair so yellow,
That's Sue, with eye so clear;
That's Will, with tawny trousers
Tucked in his stocking leg;
And yonder two wee darlings,
Are beauty Jean and Meg.
A cluster of fair jewels,
Five in the rugged set
If any man has brighter,
l have to learn it yet:
And, Tom, when | am swinging
These arms with weary strain,
Their blessed faces cheer me,
And make me strong again.
sometimes sit and wonder
"What will their future be"
If they must delve and patter
A treadmill round like me,
And scarcely at the years end,
Have half groat to spare
And see bad men put over them,
Twill be too hard to bear,
But then, I think, as nations
Rise in the scale of might,
God puts the poor man forward,
And gives him power and light;
And learning, Tom, will do it
And Christian truth will show
That Heaven makes no distinction
Between the high and low.
So. though my homes poor one,
To all who pass it by,
And none can see its beauty
Save mother, God and |;
The future may be grander
For some great glory won
Some gem set in the ages
By even poor mans son.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1863. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is 10 safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. DR..
Gbbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus

proposes to cure.

of self abuse but till 1855 experienced but little
trouble or Inconvenience in that year, however

was soon followed by the most alarming symp-
toms, as weakness of the back and limbs, pain in
the head, dimness of vision, nervousness and gen.
eral debility. My mind, too, was affected to such
an extent to seriously impair my memory, my
ideas were confused and spirits depressed. | was
averse to society, had evil forebodings and self
distrust, and was entirely untitled for any of the
duties of ife From 1855 to the summer of 1863,
I employed the very best medical talent could
find, and spent several hundred dollars, but in no
instance obtained more than temporary relief. l
had about concluded there was no relief for me in
this world but reading DR.. Doherty's advertisement
l thought should call and see him, rs he charged
nothing for consultation. l had an interview with

benefit from his treatment. On the 5th day of

handsome. Falling in love with lady of
rank, he disguised himself in female attire,

he was one day n the sea shore celebrating
the Eleusinian rites with his mistress and
her female companions, gang of pirates
came upon them by surprise, and carried
them off to a distant island, where the
pirates got drunk for joy and fell asleep
Hymen then armed the virgins, and dis
patched the sleeping pirates; when, leaving
the two women upon the island, he sped to
Athens, told his adventure, and demanded
his beloved in marrisge as her ransom
His request granted; and so fortunate was
the marriage, that the name of Hymen was
ever after invoked on all future nuptials
and in progress of time the Greeks enrolled
him among their gods.

selected; the principle OF the measure being
concentrated in the maxim laid down by Mr
Jenckes:-"Let the best attamable talent, the
greatest attainable fitness, in every case be
placed in ofiice.n
The machinery to be employed is simple and
unobjecuonable. IL will consist of a central
Board of Examiners, empowered to determine
the minimum standard OF qualification for every
subordinate grade OF the civil service, and with
authority to conduct examinations In various
parts of the country, as may from time to time
be found necessary. The Board will consist OF
three Commissioners, to be appointed by the
President with the consent OF the Senate they
are to settle the questions to be asked of appl-
cants and the scrutiny to be instituted touching
character; aud they may call to their assistance
eminent civilians and officers in all branches of
the service of the Government They viii have
no political power or auth 0rity. They will
merely select the class from whom the heads OF
Departments shall derive their subordinates; so
securing competency and character as the quail
6cations for employment under the Government.
The bill further promotes efficiency and stmu-
lates ambition by securing advancement TO
those who shall have proved themselves meri.
torous. The cost of the Board and its opera
tons, it is calculated, will be met by the fees to
be paid by applicants for examination.
Neither the principle nor the machinery Of
the measure is open to the objection that IL Is
experimental. Prussia and France bear testi-
mony to its efficacy; and the partial adoption
OF the system in England has been attended
Win success. MI. JeuCkeS wisely ODleCJS TO any
compromise with evil here. The system now in
operation is wholly and flagrantly wrong, and
he urges the application of the most thorough
remedy.
Although bearing directly upon partisanship,
and aiming az the curtailment of its power for
mischief the measure is IN no degree partisan
In its origin or IN the rendering which it re-
ceiyes from Mr.. Jenckes. Its inception dates
back to the administration of Mr.. Lincoln, and
the fact that it has passed the scrutiny oil two
select Committees, would seem TO be proof of
the wisdom and sutiiciency of it's details. The
present relations of parties in Congress, aud
the interest which is felt in the exercise
of patronage by the Executive, should secure
for the bill a degree of attention BETTING its
Importance.
