CONTENT.

By MIRIAM MERLE.
Whatsoever life may be
In the future years for me,
What Of sorrrow, or of joy,
What of gladness, or alloy,
know not.
Whether tender friends, and true,
Walk with me my life-path through,
Sharing griefs, and pleasure too,
Unforgot.
Or my life be cold and bare,
With none to help me, or to share
What of good and i'll is there,
In my lot.
How know Il Yet know
Wheresoe're my path may go,
If Winter winds or Summer blow,
Or safe, or rent.
The sails upon my boat remain,
And dry my deck, or wet with rain
Ny heart, will peace and joy contain,
And sweet content
So, whatsoe'er the year may bring
OfjOy, around my way to fling:
Or, be my life simple thing
With little fraught:
still shall know the blue sky hides
A fairer world than here betides.
And, while my boat SO swiftly gides,
I care not.
The friends miss along the way
Are rewaiting, while my footsteps stray
Toward this bright world of endless day
Where, sorrow past,
Life proves to be the perfect bliss
We seek so long-so blindly miss
Yet find, where that life follows this,
At last.

every neighbOrhOOd, and we need not publish them.
Adapted TO all ages and conditions in all climates (;
containing neither calomel or any deleteous drug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity;
They operate by their powerful influence on the

into healthy actOn-remOYe the distractions of the
stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body restoring their irregular action to health and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange-

Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
PiJLs rapidly cure:-
For DysIepsia or Indigestion, ListIess-
EeHs, LanguOr and Loss Of Appetife, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stOm-

Back and LOins, they should be continuously
taken required, TO change the diseased action Of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOPsy and DTOPsical sWeIIfngs they
should be taken in large and frequent doses TO pro-

For suppression large dose should be taken

An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and

keener than our sabres, one would have
thought the old rule was at an end Not SO,
it seems; they are still TO give law to Phila-
delphia.
A party Of thirty ladies, themselves medical
students of the Womans College, invited by
the managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital to
attend the usual clinical lecture on Saturday
last, were subjected, both within and without
the hospital walls, to the insults, the Kissing,
and brutal impudence of this most lawless
crew. THEY will solve the woman question:
as they swayed the free speech of Philadelphia
years ago! The problem of woman's right to
the highest education and the broadcast field

stand silent, finds instant solution at their
hands Let the city be thankful for her five

KINGS IN BED.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the N Y. Tribune
Europe is a general infrmary, says a we'll
known Frenchman, where the people are so
sick of kingoraft that only liberty will cure.
But now it is the kings who are in hospital,
the despots who are under the weather, and if
doctors politically disagree about their cases
only the peoples can decide. In fact here
are three maiesties actually in bed, or next
thing to it, and, while as sympathizing NOR
tails we must commiserate their plight, it is
nevertheless to be observed, with strict refer
ence to history, that their loss may be in
some respects the worlds gain. In other
words, their sickness may argue a recovering
sign or two of national health There are
clever kings we grant, and skillful emperors;
royalty has its virtues and imperialism its
science; despotisms or semi-despotisms are
good in their way for those who like them and
keep them, and the empire may be discipli-
nary induction to the republic-still the three
sick majesties have no claim to be wept over
by mankind.
Curiously, the trio are not broken down
with moral sacrifices OF cares of state. Men
shake their heads over the Cars headache,
and say that it is a pity he drinks. Those
who hope he does not, consider what manner
OF prodigy Russian intemperance must be,
superadded to the intoxication of absolute
power. Hard-hearted Paris jests at the inn
perlal diagnosis; but not in this case do they
laugh at scars who never felt wound. Ask
the cOup det0t for that? Florence rather
sympathizes with her gentleman king, who
has lived with the free old royal license, has
kept up the dignity of the Italian state after
the fashion of born fgure-heads, and, on the
whole, would rather do right than wrong
if monarchy were best served thereby
What are the dangers of King Victor Eman
uels i'll health may be best judged from the
anxiety of Napoleon touching his con-
dition. The sovereign who is affected
with irreconcilables and what not, may
well be concerned about a fellow crowned
head whose disease bears traces of Mazzinism
and Garibaldinism. The general condition of
Europe is not good sedative for royal diges-
ton. Parliamentary dissolution anticipated in
Prussia, ministerial unsettement in Italy and
Belgium, crisis in France, chaos in Spain.
show an accelerated pulse and popular fever.
Were old King William added to the three in
valids, the list of great continental patients
would be complete, exclusive of that ''sick
man OF Turkey, who obstinately keeps we'll
while the Gar keeps ailing. Who will calcu-
late to what extent Europe would be revolu-
tionized by the death of two of its kings
Republicanism rejubilant in France would be
the signal for the general explosion of the
mine of revolution throughout Europe After
that what deluge might happen we cannot
say; but the washing away of certain despotic
landmarks would not be regretted.

engaged for the last year. his style of living,
and, above all, his character for truthfulness
and honorable dealing, all of which may, and
indeed, should be well known to the Assist
ant Assessor, but which cannot be known to
a stranger sent temporarily into the district,
would aid in determining whether the facts
and circumstances of the case call for an in
vestigation. knowledge of this description
would not unfrequently spare investigations
by the Government into the private affairs of
citizens, which can serve no purpose ex-
cept to humiliate the honest but unfortunate
citizen, and bring the law into disfavor with
the people.
We know the answer to this suggestion
will be that the local officers cannot be trusted
to discharge this duty. IT, however, the Com
missioner will rid himself of some of the
knaves who have been forced upon him as
Assistant Assessors, and then impose the
duty which he is now giving to special Off
GERS upon new appointees, the difficulty ap-
pretended will be overcome, and the eff
cheney of the service will be more surely pro-
NOTED.

A RELIC OF BARBARISN.

from tNe W l. IJtOuhe'
Philadelphia, it seems, again has her ''privi-
legged class. In the good old slavery days,
the mob of Southern medical students COM
posing her two great colleges controlled, with
fatal absolution, not the politics, but the pull
pit and platform-we had almost said the
press-of her city. A tiers etat, they formed
the first power. The polished imbeciles who
held the Office of Mayor in those days recog7
nized this power and conciliated it. Unlike
New York, Philadelphia has always had a
weakness for aristocracy in the civic chair
Her Chief Magistrate generally bears some
honored family name. Indeed, it is the only
way in which aristocracy condescends to enter
politics. Before Republicanism came in to
complicate matters, when Philadelphia was
the Gibraltar of Whiggery, her Wing Mayor
had either Southern mother-in-law, or his
brother owned hundred slaves, or Henry
Clay slept at his house. In the old days,
then, it was the chief function of these
hidalgos to PROSTATE themselves before
the few hundreds of students who repre-
sented in their savage instincts the
might and ma esty of the South. Anti-slavery
fairs were held for Years under the shadow of
violence and threats, and the doors were
closed upon them by the Sheriff, in the name
OF the Commonwealth because it hurt the
students feelings Once it required the whole
police force of Philadelphia to protect George
William Curtis, whose anti-slavery, though
sound and wholesome was certainly sand
wiched with rose-leaves. And when he came
to lecture again he was told it couldn't be-
The students were by-word and a terror
Colored children, and men and women too,
held their lives cheap when they met party
OF students on carousal, and sought safety
in flight, lest they should come to the hospital
before their time. Had it not been for their
firm friends the fremen, it would have gone
hard with them in the days when Bedford and
South streets were hunting-ground for the
chiyalry.
But after we had "met them dareful
beard to beard, and proved their pistols
were no surer than our rifles, their knives no
