THE WISE FAIRY.


Once in rough, wild country,
On the other side OF the sen,
There lived dear little fairy,
And her home was In tree
A dear little, queer little fairy,
And as rich as she could be.
To Northward and to southward,
She could overlook the land,
And that was why she had her house
In tree, you understand
For she was the friend of the friendless,
And her heart was in her hand.
And when she saw poor women
Patiently, day by day,
Spinning, spinning and spinning,
Their lonesome lives away,
She would hide In the fax of their distaffs
A lump of gold, they say,
And when she saw poor ditchers,
Knee-deep in some wet dixie,
Digging, digging and digging,
10 their very grave belize,
She would hide a shining lump Of gold
Where their spades would be sure to strike
And when she saw poor children
Their goats from the pasture take,
Or saw them milking and milking,
I'LL their arms were rehuy W DEeaAi
What plashing In their milking pals
Her gifts Of gold would make !
Sometimes in the night fisher
Would hear her etlow call,
And all at once a salmon Of gold
Right out Of his net would fall;
But what have to tell you
Is the strangest thing Of all.
If any ditcher, or fisher,
Or child, or spinner old,
Bought shoes for his feet, or bread to eat,
Or a coat to keep them from the cold,
The gift of the good old fairy
Was always trusty gold.
But If a ditcher, or a fisher,
Or spinner, or child so gay,
Bought jewels or wine, or silks 80 tine,
Or staked his treasure at play,
The fairy's gold in his very hold
Would turn to lump Of clay.
SO, by and by the people
Got open their stupid eyes
1--WE must learn to spend to some good end, y
They said, 'if we are wise;
'Tis not in the gold we waste, or hold,
That golden blessing lies"

A Years Casualties at Sea.

The statistical committee of the British
Lloyd's have published an analysis OF
wrecks and casualties during the year 1867
as compared with 1866. It results from
their returns that the total number of casu-
alties last year was 1858, against 11,711
in 1866. The total losses were 2,343, of
which los were steamers in 1867, against
1924, Of which 115 were steamers in 1866
The cases in which the cargo was entirely
lost numbered 1,1GS last year, and /, 946 in
1866. The loss Of life in 1867 contrasts
very favorably with that of the year pre-
ceeding, the total being only 1,346, against
2,644 in 1885, The committee, however,
observe that the returns on this head
are still more imperfect, the actual num-
ber being in excess of that given in
various tables. The month in which
the fewest losses have occurred for the
past ten years is July, the heaviest being
November. An elaborate geographical
summary of the wrecks and casualties ar
ranged according to the voyages performed,
show that of the entire list Of the total
losses, numbering last year 2,343, 20 per
cent. occurred in the British Islands; while
Of the other sections, the heaviest-that
which included the Baltic and the Gulf of
contributed only 8 per cent. The
Cape colonies, the Persian Gull, Australia,
Polynesia, California and Greenland ap-
pear to have been almost blanks as regards
total wrecks of foreign-going ships in 1867,
although they supplied few cases of con-
structive loss. In the British Islands the
number of vessels raised last year, after
sinking, was 80, and in the rest Of the
world only 20. There were five cases of
loss from piracy in 1867, and 1S in the
year preceding.

SOthern Kissed for BurIesaning OthelIO.

Three weeks ago number Of actors got
up benefit in London for an old come
dian, Paul Bedford, who is now scarcely
able to cross the stage from feebleness, and
whose purse is all but empty The vari-
GUS theatrical companies came forward
with their usual kindness, and remarka-
Bile programme was the result. The
liking for. the old actor and the attractions
of the play bill brought crowded and
fashionable house. who were in the best of
humors 1t happened, however, that the
committee of arrangements, contrary to
the advice of some literary friends, induced
the comedians, Mr. Blackstone and
Mr.. Sothern, to appear in selec-
ton from ''0thello," Soehern taking
the part of the Moor and his companion
taking the part of Iago. The idea was that
the incongruity Of the comedian under
taking tragedy would be amusing. Never
was greater mistake. Mr.. Blackstone is
q writer and man of information. At the
last moment he felt the error, and when the
curtain rose he played Iago seriously and
well. Not so the other. Mr. Sothern, who
has become sort of spoiled child, turned
Othello into a Lord Dundreary, and while
keeping to the words of Shakespeare in
dulged in the antics and grimaces Of the
foppish fool in ''0ur American Cousin. -
The audience were disguised, and Kissed
him so soundly that he was obliged to
make speech in self-defense.

triumphant Success OF the Hungarian

The astonishing success Of the Hungarian
Balsam, in the cure of every form Of Con
sumption, warrants the proprietors in solicit
ing for treatment the worst possible cases
that can be found in the community-cases
that seek relief in vain from any Of the com
mon remedies of the day, and have been
given up by the most distinguished phYsi-
clans as confirmed and incurahle The
hungarian Balsam has cured, and viii cure
the most desperate Of cases. 1t is no quack
uOstrum, but a standard medicine, of known
and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should
be supplied with the Hungarian Balsam Of
Life, not only to counterfeit the cOnsumptive
tendencies Of the climate, but to be used as
a preventive medicine in all cases of Colds,
Coughs, Splitting of Blood, Pain in the side
and Chest, Irritation and Soreness of the
Lungs, Bronchitis, Difficulty Of Breathing
Hectic Fever, Night Sweats, Emaciation
General Debility, Asthma, Influenza, WhOOp-
ing Cough, and CroOp. In case Of actual
disease Of the Lungs, or seated Consumption,
1t is the only source Of hope. The
Hungarian BaIsam Of Life
is rapidly advancing in the estimation Of the
public, wherever it has been used 1t is no
empirical remedy, forced upon the public by
indirect means 1t is the old English cure
for Consumption, which has relieved more
