From Tie Culfdoaia JournA2.
We h9ve taken particular pains to
inquire into this case, and dnd that the
man had become "petrifed" is not lit
orally true. The unfortunate man has
lo't all control Of his limbs, and por-
tlops OF his body. The flesh has becom.
shrunkep and inaexible, and is ineap-
able Of iudenture yet it is not stone,
and while the lower extremities of toe
afflicted man are teeliagless, he is abl-
to walk across tho room, but he is 1ov
confined TO his bed. We may remo;s
the novel statement that the man had
become petrifed, and the case is still
most singular one. The patient doea
net feel the effect of the mysterious al
ease at his vital parts; yet he is 49,

and in condition that medical skill

HOW TO REDUCE THE INTEREST
-: ON THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The following is plan set forth and
strongly endorsed by the New York
Tribune for reducing the interest on
the public debt:
"Let Congress make our Greenbacks
fuudable at the pleasure Of the holder
in bonds Of 500, 81, 900, and $4,000,
drawing interest at the rate of one per
ceat. per day on each 500, (era 65-
per annum) aud erchongeable into
greenbachs at the pleasure of the hold
er. Now authorize the Treasury to
purchase and extinguish our outstand-
ing bonds SO fast as it is supplied with
the means Of so doing by receipts
for customs or otherwise; and to issue
new greenbacks whenever larger
amounts shall be required-every one
being fundable in sums Of s1oo,s1, 900,
or $4,000, as:.feresaid, at; the pleas
ure of the holder, in bonds drawing
an annual interest Of 8 65-1OO in coin
per annum, and these bonds exchange.
able into greeibacks Whenever holde,
desires it," s'S'
The Tribune mentions the following
among the other benefits of this system
"Our Greenbacks, which are pos
virtual falsohoods, would be truths. Th'
Government eoou'd pay them on de

substantial accordance with the plan OF
which the Greenbacks were first autho,

BUSINESS TALElT.

The pursuit and the profit Of an oe'
cupation are matters pertaining to the
individual far more than to the sex. In
this country woman need no moro be
without occupation than a man. She
need not be without healthy aud re.
munerative occupation. In the higher
latltudes her pay is equal to that of a
man. In many latitudes, if she has a
mans sense, she gets mans emolu-
meat. Trade makes little inquiry
concerning success. If a shop-girl re-
ceives less wages than a shop.boy, why
does she not go into business herself :?

NOTHING BUT LEAVES.

-, Nothing but leaves, the spirit grieves
Over wasted life;
Sin committed whilst conscience slept,
Promises made but rever kept,
Hatred, battle and strife;
Nothing but leaves!
Nothing but leaves no garnered sheayes
OF ]ife's fair, ripened grain
Words, idle words, for earnest deods:
We sow our seeds-lo! tares and weeds,
We reap with toll and pain,
Nothing but leaves!
Nothing but leaves memory weaves
No veil to screen the past;
As we trace our weary way,
Counting each lost and misspent day,
We find sadly at last,
Nothing but leaves!
And shall We meet our Master so,
Bearing our withered leaves2
The Saviour looks for perfect fruit
Westand before him, humble, mute; =
Waiting the word He breathes--
Nothing but leaves!
ALAS for him who never secs
The stars shine through his cypress trees!
Who, hopeless, lays luis dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play
Who hath not learned in hours of faith,
This truth to flesh and sense unknown,
That life is ever lord of Death,
And Love can never lose its own!
