TIE GALAXY for May has arrived filed rs
usual with an excellent Table of Contents Article
1, continuation of "Waiting for the Verdict" we
have not read, but hear it highly spoken Of by our
novel reading friends. 2. Opium and it's Victims,
by ALoNzo CA1K1Ns, will be read with painful in
terest. It would seem that although Doctors
usually differ, this matter thoy all think very
much alike. MADDEN, at the great Bazaar in Con-
stlntinople, met but one visitor who had passed
thirty, a moderate smoker for twenty-five years.
d.. OxLEY, while in Singapore, met in but one in
stance man who had reached eighty. Dr.. PARKED
had rarely known a smoker who had exceeded fifty
years; and both ho and DR.. MAcaowAN testify that
the effects attributed to an addiction Of opium are
not, in the view of the observing and knowing,
overweight or oYerrated. DR.. LITTLE agrees that
here and there occur cases CT utter decay Of mind
with tho wasting Of the body etc., etc. 8. Another
view of Madame REcAnuER. L. Partisan English.
This is subject not altogether original, it is true,
but always amusing. Speaking of the restaurants
in Paris, in many Of which the bills of fare are
translated by Experts" for the benefit of the
English, soourning in that gay capital the bills of
the following highly literal translation: res de oea~
la fuanciere" is rendered ss the smile Of the calf
to the female capitalist" So again Giants de peau
de Nice is translated '.Nice Skins gloves" But
we have seen as bad in Charleston. There is now
to be seen in our streets a finely painted sign !:

i NATURE, BETRoTHED AND Welded.
Have you not noted how in early Spring,
From out the forests, past the m,lrlnuring brooks
Der the llill.sides. Nature. with airy graee,
Like some fair virgin, touched by lights anu shades
Clidcs, tinlidly, veil of golden mist
About her brows md budding BOSOM drnpcd
| Tu maiden coynes.? She's bride betrotled
| Unlo that mystic god who comes from far
Rich Orient lands upon the winds OF June,
That bear him like swift Ardours winged with fire:
And when, on some ca.lm lustrous morn, her Lord
! UpiIts tho golden veil, and weds to hers
! The quickening warmth OF ripe, immortal lips-
How the broad Earth leaps into rapturcd life,
And thrills with lnusc
Then ulecnly sno1se
Raised unto fruitful empire, through all hours
! OF bountc0uS Summer, she walks proudly on
! Shining with blisstul eycs OF matronhood
i TILL at the last Autumn, with revrrcnt hand
: Doth crown her with such full, completed joy,
] Such wealth OF sovereign beauty, she once more
] About her brows and sllnptu0ls bosom, folds
! That golden Veil-nOt i'll the trcmulous fear
cl maiden coyncss ao,r, but lest rash men.
Drawn by her awful iovcincss, should Gare
| TO gaze too closely un Il, and thus fall,
Smittcn and blind, al her imperial teetl
