Hygicne-wiIder.s Remedies.

What is comparable to health? We
may be surrounded by luxury; our boards
may groan with delicacies gathered from
every cline; we may be gladdened by the
smiles of fortune; pleasure and enjoy
ment may stand a-tiptoe, ready for the
clasping, but if disease or infrmity tor
ture us, of what availability is it ALI
Like some omnipresent monster that
haunts our sleep and banishes beatitnde
from our dreams, it abides with us,
chasing the happy hours away" and
making misery chronic. What would
life be, if there we're no balm in Gilead
and health in the physician thereT In
vain would the sun shine, or vernal
breezes wait the fragrance of flowers to
greet our senses. All would be :" a bar
rem waste-a promontory "a desert,
without an oasis, whose burning sands
and hot breath blister and stihe, and
make life's pilgrimage weary way of
sorrow. There would be no incentive to
drag on an existence so miserable, to
which the ball and chain Of the convict
were a luxury.
When ills assail Is, we instinctively
look for some remedy, and apply to those
whose assistance promises to be avail
able. If disease afflict us we inquire for
the doctor, from whose skill, experience,
familiarity with its diagnosis and mode
of treatment we may anticipate relief
We do not ask if he ride in carriage,
with outriders in livery and horses richly
caparisoned. 1t is the friend in need
we want, whose science and perspicacity
will enable him TO mitigate pain with
the leas. delay, and restore the equilib-
rum of our system which has been shat
tered, and may, unchecked, fall into
ruins Being troubled with a raging
tooth" we do not apply to the merchant,
the carpenter, the lawyer, or the divine,
whose occupations lie in different direc-
tons, but to the dentist, who makes the
condition Of the teeth a study, and at
glance can determine if it should be
eradicated, or a soothing application
will suffice And so it is when a physi-
clan is needed; we would naturally
apply 10 him who had made the
peculiar malady a specially, aud
whose success in its treatment had
become noted; or If the symptoms have
not yet developed the nature of the dis
ease, it is not the nearest, but the most
experienced and reliable disciple Of the
healing art whose assistance should be
invoked-not theempirie who has CLEANED
certificates from various ignorant sources
attesting his skill and success, but the
thoroughly educated physician who has
had the benefit Of the schools, and in
series of years has profted by the expe-
rience which practice only can impart
But ii may be asked. how are we to ar
rive at this conclusion, il being ocnsid-
cred uuprofessional TO parade sueeessfui
cures before the public. aud IN the light
Of putting ones self Il Is not, like less
material affairs, susceptible of expert
ment. but life and death are in the bal
anee-s speedy cure or inierminAble

Letter from O'SeiII,

The Generalissimo Of the grand army
of Fenians writes from his headquarters
on the frontier lin Burlington Jail TO the
Boston Pilot, as follows:
! beg to inform those parties, and all
whom i may concern, that delayed re-
plying, first, because desired that others
should get through with what they had
TO say in the matter; and, secondly, be-
cause ! had hoped that some one Of my
numerous friends-a man never knows
how many he has until he needs one
would, by going on my bonds for SIS, 900,
give me an opportunity Of defending my
self outside the yalls Of prison.
Now, however, believing that my enc
mies-I must presume that ! have no
friends, at least among those from whom
/ had q right 10 expect friendship-haye
had all the opportunity they could desire
TO say what they pleased, and as | am
likely TO remain in Jail until my trial,
shall soon publish statement showing
who was responsible for the attempt at
the invasion Of Canada, and the cause
Of the failure so far as the movement has
yet been heard from. The facts in the
case are not yet known to the public.
shall alec give my views as to the future
Of the Organization, which must change
its policy in order TO accomplish any
thing. JoHy O'NEIIL,
President Fenian Brotherhood.

LONDON, September 10.-A letter dated
Paris, 9Th, evening, says that the night
session of the government lasted till 6
O'clock in the morning. A resolution was
offered to call a Constitutional ConYen-
tion, so as to impart formal authority to
the government, The Ministers were di-
yided on the question, five voting for and
five against it. According to the French
parliamentary law q tie vote decides in the
Affirmative. The members opposed to II
were Simon, Gambetts, Pellatan, Ferry
and Rochefort. 1t is believed that the
Ministry will control the elections
in its own favor. Having the army
in their hands, it Is impossible
to obtain fair election. Democratic
Socialists meet nightly, and are
endeaVoring TO organize. They are form
ing committees in Paris and throughout
the country. Their object is to obtain
mower enough to carry out their extreme
views. The effect of these meetings is
already manifest. There are indications
of determination on the part of the min
istry to place iron restrictions upon the
| liberty of opinion. Secret police are
tracking these meetings, and some parties
who attend them have been warned, un
/ der pretense of political intriRues ano
| that they are calculated to impair the ma
/ tional defense.
Lord Lyons left Paris yesterday, and
| Mr.. Washburne will leave in day o.
two. There is every indication ths
Paris will make terrible resistance, bn
many still believe the contrary. Genera
Trochu declares that if the Prussians taxi
the city the cost will be immense. -
