A PoLYGLoT BUSINESS. The wide
spread fuence of American skill and enter
prise has outstrlpped the comprehension OF
the Americans themselves. The fabrics of our
mills clotho the savages of both continents.
They wrap the loins of Africa, and the tawny
skins Of South American pampas. Blu wider
sIll are spread the products of our skill in
medicines, A late visit to DR.. j.. c. Aver X
Co.'S laboratory and office in Lowell, showed
us that the whole surface of the habitable
globe pays its tribute there there they cater
to and serve the requirements of almost all
nations Their publications are in the many
tongues that widely-seyered peoples use.
Their letters must be read from and written
in many tongues, for which there sits a long
range Of correspondents with the iudispensa-
BILE accomplishments for their duties. Their
daily mail of half a bushel of letters brings
them adyices, ordegs and remittauces from
the circle Of the world. We were overwhelmed
with Amusement, and our readers would be by
an inspection of this wonderfully extensive

A WONDERFUL DREAM.

"Oh Yes, sartin. Yes, yes-I be.
lieve in dreams, . said old Silas Iafton.
He took another Whit at his pipe, and
then added Zone of the greatest
speculations | eve went into came of a
dream-a wonderful dream. I'll tell
You about it
You remember, some of you, about
the great land speculations here in
Maine thirty years ago. Poor men-a
very few of them-were made suddenly
rich .aud rich men were suddenly made
poor; | was living then in Grey. One
day oh Sam Whitney, of oxford, stop
ped Mt IA place, and showed us a map
of a new town which had been laid ont
IN Sagadahoc, On the map 1t looked
beautiful There were brooks, and
lakes, and broad plains of pine and oak,
with streets all laid out, and spots for
churches and school houses marked in
proper array. | had a cousin living
down that way and | concluded to go
down aud take a look. | found the
town of Ellonvlle, which old Whitney
had shown me on his map,t to be a wild,
worthless track, MI rocks and swamp;
but ON the edge of this track in another
township, my cousin owned a piece OF
land, and | bought n hundred and fifty
acres of II, and made me an excellent
farm and for that purchase | was never
sorry,
Meantime Ellenville was nearly sold
in hundred acre lots, The excitement
WAS at fever heat, ana people bought
without once coming to look at the land
they were purchasing. But by and by
the new owners began to look ND their
property, and you can rest assured that
they were "A blue set when they were
assembled on their territory. Within
all the limits of the mapped out town

cultivated. On the side that hordered
my farm 1t WAS Il craggy ledge of rocks:
and beyond that to the eastward the
land settled under the mud aud the
water of a suukeu slough. Some of
these lots had been sold AS high rs one
pound an acre, aud a few of them even
higher than that. One poor fellow.
uamci John Twist. from Vermont, had
paid oue pound an acre for a lot that
tnriered on my farm. On the map ii
had been set down MS Il magnificent
pine forest, with a river upon It's Dor
der, upon which was 4 superb water
power. John Twist bought it and paid
for il, and when he came to look at it
he found 1t To be a mass of barren
rock, with here and there a clump of
scrub oak and a few Norway pines, and
Tor a river he found n water course
which tumbled melted snow over the
crags in the spring, and which was dry

The grey of hair grew young again.,
Thc sick man laughed away his pain,
The cripple leaped and ran.
"Drink, o tails, what the gods have sent,

The Soma's sacred Madness went,
A storm OF drunken JOY.
Then knew each rapt inebriate
A winged and glorious birth,
SCARED upward, with strange JOY elate,
Beat, with dazed head, Varuna's gate,
And, sobered, sank to earth.
The land with soma's praises rang;
on Gihon's banks Of shade
Its hymns the husky maidens sang;
In 10y Of life OF mortal ang
All men to Soma prayed.
The morning twilight Of the race
Sends down theg7 matin psalms;
And still with wondering eyes we trace
The simple prayers to Soma's grace,
That Vedic verse ombalnis.

Each after age has striveu
