Are recommended only for those diseases and

Medical Certificates, there must be repititions of
language. Diseases and symptoms follow, but
symptoms should not be mistaken for distinct
diseases. This is mentioned from the fact that
many might say that they proposed to cure eve

sustains all that is claimed for them, is found in

hear the dry-voiced insects call,
And g Come - they say, ''the night grow
brief -
| hear the dew-drops pattering fall,
From leaf to leaf-from leaf to leaf
Your night lamp glimmers fitfully;
| watch below-yOu sleep above;
Yet on your blind | seem to see
Your shadow, Love-your shadow, Love,
The roses in the night-wind sway,
Their petals glistening with the dew
A they are longing for the day,
long for yOu-I long for you
Bat YOU are IN the land of dreams
Your eyes are closed your gentle breath
So family comes, your slumber seems
Almost like Death-almost like Death
Seep on but may my music twine
Tour sleep with strands of melody,
and lead you, gentle Love Of mine,
To dream of me-to dream of me

How TIE RESULT IS TAKEN ABRoAD.-Cable
dispatches show that foreign sentiment about
the Impeachment trial is divided.
The London Morning Post considers the
vote on the eleventh article of impeachment
conclusive, and says that the result Of this
demonstrates the folly of the Radicals, as the
certainty Of success is their only excuse for
taking such a step as impeachment. After
all, if right is vindicated, that result is due
10 accident.
The Daily Ne,es takes widely different
grounds in its comments, and thinks that the
vote is not conclusive of the whole case.
The Paris Temps (democratic) says that Mr.
johnson has been saved by legal forms only,
he has been deposed in the mind of tie coun-
try.
The Journal des DeJdts (Orleans) say, that
while Mr.. johnson is acquitted, the vote was
such as to render him pOwerless hereafter.
La Liberte (radical opposition) says, sim
ply that the verdict shows that liberty is the
best guarantee of justice.
The Constitutional (semi-ofhcial imperial
ist) regards the vote as fatal to the radical
party.
The Epoque has opposed the impeachment
project from the beginning. 1t blames the
/ republicans for attempting to remove the exc
cutIve on grounds 80 slight, and says that that
great political party could not have more
clumsily lost its prestige.

clusiveness, their puppyism and their affected

A Great Man.
By OWEN MEREDITH.

That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves q greatness not his own,
For neither praise nor pelf:
Content to know and be unknown:
Whole in himself
Strong is that man, he only strong,
To whose well-ordered will belong,
For service and delight.
All powers that, in the face Of Wrong,
Establish Right.
And free he is, and only he,
Who, from his tyrant passions free,
By Fortune undismayed,
Hath power upon himself, to be
BY himself obeyel.
If such q man there be, whereer
Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He can1ot fare amiss.
Great Nature hath him in her care;
Her cause is his:
Who holds by everlasting law,
Which neither chance nor change can flaw
Whose steadfast course is one
With whatsoever forces draw
The ages on:
If such q man there be, where'er
Beneath the sun and moon he fare,
He doth not fare alone,
He goeth girt with cohorts, powers,
The monarch of his manful hours,
Whose minds his tbroDa
He owes no homage to the sun
There's nothing he need seek or shun;
All things are his by right;
lie IS his own posterity;
His future in himself doth lie;
His souls his light.
Lord Of lofty life is he,
Loftily living, though he be
OF lowly birth though poor,
He lacks not wealth; nor high degree
In state obscure.
The merely great are, all in all,
No more than what the merely small
Esteem them. Mans opinion
Neither conferred, nor can recall,
This mans dominion.

CoNGREsSIoNsL.-The concurrent resolution

there has been no quorum. On the 18th the
Senate passed the House Bill, granting to the

Plattsburgh, and the bill making an appro-
priation to cover deficiency in theappropri-
alton for the execution of the Reconstruction
laws in the Third Military District An at
tempt was made to call up the bill to admit
Arkansas. but it failed after debate
On the proposition to adjourn over, Mr..
Edmunds made the significant remark that
the notion of going home early in the summer
might as well be abandoned now as at any
time.
\ very lively debate then sprang up On the
message of the House asking for Il certified
copy of the Senate's proceedings on impeach-
ment for two days past.
The request of the House went over. Then
the Senate adjourned until Thursday, and it
seems to be the opinion that it will then ad-
iourn until Monday.
In the House little was done of interest ex-
cept debate on request from Mr.. Butler
that the House compel the attendance of one
Charles Woolley to testify before the I'M
parchment Managers. On being assured by
some of Woolley's friends that he would ap-
pear without being sent for, Mr.. Butler with
drew his motion. The House voted to request
a certified copy Of the Senate's proceeding
on impeachment for two days past.
