Suggested by the terrible stroke of affiction
upon Dr. Merrill, whose wife and four chill
dren persisted in the flames at the burning
of the Halliday House, on the morning OF
Jan. 31st, and who, at the time, was absent
from his family.
Hushl men, and for that footstep listen,
While moon and stars in silence glistsn.
The hour is still the morn is drawing near
Wen be so magic still-not shed tear!
But, bark the snorting demon of the rail
Now browns the grief, the loving call, the wall.
He calls,-he thinks,-and now he tries to see
One of those darlings sporting on his knee.
He hears their merry laugh, 90 lond and shrill,-
But, oh, 1t rights him, sends piercing thrill
Through every Eervs; and then his fancied joy
Tarns into weeping for has wife, his girl his boy.
BE omes,-the husband, father, friend, in one;
But all is vain, his guardianship is done.
We grieve with him, we pity. and we love
The memory OF the dear ones, Noss G6ose!

Mr. James Glassier, F. R. s., has told US
about the rain, He says it all has its origin
and fall eight hundred feet from the earth.
Desiring to discover the influence of the
moon on the elements, he found, afte: long
series of Investigations, that on the ninth
day of the moon there was much more rain
than or any other day, and that on the first
and last week of the moon there was the
least amount. He had taken account from
1915, to 1889, of every day on which there
had been an inch of rainfall, and he had
found that on July 26, 1867, the rainfall a.
mounted 20 three and seven-tenths inches,
the largest amount that had fallen in one
day at the Royal Observatory. From care
tul observations made by him he had no
doubt that the moon did exercise an infu-
ence upon rain. Another of his investigaa
tions was as to the time OF day that rain tell
most, and he had found that the largest
quantity ofrain tell at about four o'clock in
Inc afternoon. a2 lsfl3H 4tfJ -.

are said to be less than Is per cent. of

officials inspection has been reduced to a
system hitherto supposed Ito be almost
perfect, certainly effective. Stockholders
and policy holders suffer alike in this in
stance, and the Yankee shrewdness which
succeeded in covering up gross mismana-
cement, has kept the swindle concealed
for years. A few more such examples
will lead to general restriction of in
surance privileges. Quarterly returns
and free access to the books of the in
surance companies will be demanded as

POISONING BY VACCINATION It is be-
coming a serious question among scientific
medical men. whether the attempt to ward
off smallpox by vaccination does not intro
duce another family of diseases, or certainly
aggravate and intensity the old ones, in com
parison with which it were much safer to run
the risk of the contagion first dreaded. That
vaccine matter, the best of it, is impure, all
men who know anything about it, are salts
fed and the explicit testimony of distin-
guished practitioners shows that it can
scarcely be employed at all except to con-
taminate and poison its innocent recipients.
Dr. Ricord, in 1865, did not hesitate to de-
clare the reality of such poisonlngs before the
Academy of Paris DR.. Epps, who vaccina
ted one hundred aud twenty thousand per
sons during his dictatorship of the Jenner
Hospital, in London has at length declared
after quarter of a century's practice, that
vaccine is poison he says " it penetratcs
as such and affects all organic systems, so
that it acts repressively on the small pox );
it paralysis the expansive powers OF the
body, and the pox poison Is retained IN the
mucous membranes" Since vaccination
came in, it is averred by the highest author

diphtheria since 1854 Children DO not, to
be sure, die of small pox, but they do die of
measles, scarlet fever and similar diseases,
which the means for expelliug smallpox has
made more intense. These allegation GER
