The Ills That Flesh Is Heir TO.

The ills that flesh is heir to are many,
but remedy for them all is furnished
by nature. There is no doubt that fol
every disease there is an antidote in
the vegetable kingdom. Tie aborigi-
nees were the victims of many and
loaths"mc maladies, Yet they found in
the wilds of their forests remedies snre
and powerful. Acting on this belief
DR. TUFTS Sarsaparilla and Queens
Delight is offered the public as a most
highly concentrated vegetable com
pound, possessing extraordinary power
for the cure of rheumatism, Neural
gia, Scrniula, Ulcers, Swelling of the
Glands, Erup'ions of the Skin, Female
Diseases, Liver Complaint, Secondary
Syphilis, the effect of mercury, &C.
1t is most powerful Alternative and
Blood purifier, and at the same time so
harmless that it may be used by all.
Watch out for Chills and Fever, and
prepare the system for resisting its at
tack by using DR.. TUFTS Liver Pills.
DR.. TUFTS HAIR DYE IS USED IN En-
ROPE AND AMERICA.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS.
BY HORACE GREELEY.

Oh, God! our way through darkness
leads,
But Thine is living light;
Teach us to feel that Day succeeds
TO: each slow-wearing Night:
Make us to know, though Pain and Woe
Beset our mortal lives.
That III at last in death lies low,
And only Good survives.
Too long the oppressor's iron heel
The sanity brow has pressed;
Too oft the tyrant's murtl'rous steel
Has pierced the guiltless breast;
Yet in Our soul the seed shall lie,
Till thou shall bid it thrive; a-
OF steadfast faith that Wrong shall die,
And. only Right survive. T
We walk in shadows! Thickest walls
DOMAIN from man divide.
Our brothers spurn our tenderest calls,
Our hottest aims leride:
Yet though fell Craft, with fiendish
thought. t..
It's subtle, web contrives,
Still FalsehOod's textures shrink to
na"ght,
And only Truth survives.
Wrath clouds our sky; War lifts on high
His flag Of crimson stain;
Each monstrous birth o'erspreads the
earth
In Battles CORY train; 't"
Yet still we trust in God, the Just
Still keep our faith alive,
That meath Thine eye. all Hate shall die,
And only Love survive. "

My life is like the desert rock
In the mid ocean, lone and drear,
Worn by the wilk waves careless shock
That round its base their stlrges rear.

Some flowers will find cliff to spring.
And breathe DER them sweet perfume;
For our life's flowers no IN ore will

No herewith venture we are merely re-
ite,ating what we ventured to suggest
several years since in support Of some
timely hints given ont by the late Hon.
William K. Parkinson, in one of his re-
ports as Controller of State.
The Fiscal Year COW ends Gas provided
b. tbs Constitution) on the 3ist day of
d .cen5er. This is well enough in all
ordinary prospects; but insofar as such
eudiac m lkes Inconvenience anil delays
/, in the workings Of the Legislature it
nught 10 be changed. and we will state
: ar reasons for saying SO. sF
The first thing that should claim the
attention of our Legislature is the
Financial condition of the State; what it
owes; what it will need to keep its ma
chinery in motion and repair; and what
has been done by way of accounts. re-
ceip.s and disbursements during the past
four and twenty months.
sUutler existing regulations this cannot
veil be done-that is to say. the Reports
of the Controller and Treasurer and other
State Ofsicers cannot be made SO familiar
to TIE Legislative mind as they might
and would be if the constitution were SO
amenred as that the Fiscal year were
made to end on the 3Oth of November,
and a law we're put in force providing |
thst in the month intervening between
the end of the Fiscal year and the meet |
ing Of the Legislature on the first Mon
dag III January, a stated number OF
reports by the various State Officers
should be printed and placed Immediately |
in the hands of the Legislature upon its
converting.
ia W. have inst sail this much by way of |
giyia; h.ns of what oaght. in our opin-
ion, to be done toward, facilitating the
leci ,iat,on of the State. Ths IDEA might
we'll be elaborated and discussed
ct len,th; and perhaps We shall urge its
consideration upon the minds Of the irr-
peniins l,x-nill- Meantime let the deep I
thought of such SONS of Scion as read
these lines be given to the burden of our
saying.
