Labor suppIy for the Country,

We are rejoiced to find that the New York
Commissioners of Public Charities have Or
CANNED Labor Bureau, through which those
IN the country in want of skilled or other Ia
Dor may find supply.
If we are not misinformed, the Commission
ers propose to ship to any applicant who
comes with proper credentials las to charac-
teri and the necessary transportation expen-
ses. such number and quality of laborers as
engaging, on their part, that the laborers SO
sent shall work out the costs of such tran
sportation at the rates prevailing in theregion
where the labor is performed.
This will doubtless work transfer of many
idle hands to localities where labor is needed
We would suggest, however, that the Com
missioners carry their charitable action still
farther, and institute record of all desiring
positions in the country, with such sound tes-
timony as to capacity as the applicants can
Misunderstanding their Bureau, in short, one
oftrustworthy information, as well as an in
strument of transfer.
As the matter now stands, a person in the
country DESTROYS of securing gardner, OF
farmer, or laborers on special work, finds him.

would be of vast se--ice. and would work ou,
charity towards emigfais.s ga and 0 deserving la

Employers would gladly contfn-.te a small
fee for the trustworthy information which
might be thus supplied, and well-to-do wosls.
men might be counted on for the same-al
which would go to aid the establishment.
1t is doubtless true that those of highes
skill and character are rarely cut of place
but in the crowd of emigrants, and in the null
titude of those floating penniless in a grea
city, there are very many who would become
exceedingly serviceable, and who could b.
easily 'placed" if their aptitudes were made
known. We respectfully commend the sug.

Poetry.
BY ALICE CARY.


She stood, the hoping and fearing wrought
10 one consummate and sovereign thought,
A dear little dimpled maiden.
But she did not watch tor the boat or the tide,
With the black nets dragging over the side,
And the silver herrings laden.
The waves lay quiet about her feet,
And she made the wood-strewn beach so sweet,
Both she and her song together;
The Two little shoulders out OF her gown
Peeping timid. and rosy-brown
As her Gieniern hills of heather.
All out of the West the scarlet fell,
And the gold and the gray like chasuble.
And over the red, and the gold, and gray
The song from the young mouth ripr led away,
And the glad refrain was Charley
No sounds were heard but the fishers oar,
And his boat came scudding In to the shore,
Her nets like black veil wearing,
And his shout, as he lightly leapt to landi
But what to the maiden there on the sand
Was the prize of silver herring!
She hid her shoulders deep in her gown,
And dropped her eareleas eyends uoWh
10 the water of dark Lochmarne:
And over the fisher and nets and all
Hor song went on like the beach-bird's cal,
And tue wild refrain was Charley!
Slow the night came over the dew,
But never q sail the mist breaks through
ssSweetheart can you thus ussemDlef"
And fainter, and fainter the love-s0ng grows,
Til it breaks as the ran-drops break in the rose
TO a soft and soundless tremble.
Now all is still as still can be,
And the bell strikes one, and two, and three,
And the morning, whitening over,
Casts the moon in the sea like ring,
Which maid might out of her window fling
TO her mad and moaning lover.
Tho stro,,u- armad fiabar COMMAS +o tl,a sboro
And heads his sighted boat once more
Where the silver prize is lying;
But it seems to him that the wild green wave
Turns aH the grass tnrns over grave,
And his wrecked heart fills with signing.
IT'S many year since the maidens lay,
With the gold and the scarlet, died away
From the water of dark Lochmarlie;
But still with the night do the tides return
To the heathefy hills of wild Glenfern
With the wall of Charley! Charley!

/ am not in the habit of taking advertised medi-
cines, OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation, bnt feel con-
strained to make an exception in favor OF DoDD's
NERvINE and Invigorator, a medicine have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss ofseep-
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies palliatives were
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
tried until our attention was called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodd's Nerve. This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the commissions
were hardest at night we began by giving the Ner-
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
trouble. OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invigorator an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. I may add that have
since recommended it to several family friends, in
like circumstances, and have found it in Ievery case
to be equally successful 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.
