WEIGHING THE BABY.

When weighing the baby, not yet month old,
The first tender darling, more precious than gold.
How often fond parents glazing mistake
Are known to record as parent could makel
oh, oh, the first baby! Who ever did spy
Such soft rosy checks, and forehead SO high
DO, grandpa, dear, hold himl How heavy the
weight
Do weigh himi knoo he will weigh more than
eight
Was ever before such dear little nose!
Did ever the sunlight kiss such tiny toesl
oh, myl Did you everi Such soft pearly earsi
And the blue, sparkling eyes, filed with bright
crystal tears!
Therel Carefully lay him within the tin tray;
Did ever that balance go precious gem weigh
Half breathless they listen to hear the sad fate
No record is truer-"He weighs only eight.'
Ali what sad error, all errors above
To weigh in balance bundle of love-
With dimpes and tear-drops of dear baby-boys.
And reckon their value in avoirdupois
Now bring the true balance, and weigh again fair
Weigh love and the smiles and the bonny brown
hair;
AS gold, silver, rubies, are weighed by fair men.
The light boy of seven will weigh nearly ten
How stupid to weigh love like gewgaws and TOYS.
WIN dumb pigs and poultry, by avoirdupos
Whlle pearls OF the ocean, and silver and gold
by troy are computed, when purchased and sold
Should babies at first be like Anak so tall
10 easily span this terrestrial ball,
wed balance each darling by smiles and a tear:
It's love and sweet kisses that make baby dear

THE PEOPLES STAMP OF VALUE.-The Govern
ment endorsement, which legalizes the sale OF
PLANTATION BITTERs, is not the only stamp affixed
to that famous VEGETABLE Tonic. 1t bears, in adj
dition to that official sanction. the STILL MORE VAL
LIABLE STAMP OF PUBLIC APPRECIATION. This ines
Unable voucher of its rare properties as Tonic,
CORRECTIVE and ALTERATIvE, is of much earlier
date than the Government credentia for millions OF
OF THE AGE long. before Congress thought Of taxing
proprietary medicines It is unnecessary to repeat,
Inyigorant. The best reference that can be offered
is the GENERAL PUBLIC. Ask those who have tried 1t
remedy for dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness
sickness, low spirits, or loss of vital power, what
Plantation Btters has done for tte and be governed
by the response they make to your inquiries.

MUCH interest has been excited in mari
time circles by the invention of an mex
tinguishable and self-igniting signal lamp,
which is likely to be of great practical
value under many circumstances. Its
peculiarities are that it is self-igniting,
that its flame can neither be eXtinguished
by water nor any other means, and that
it is incapable Of setting fire to objects,
while, at the same time, its light is OK
tremely brilliant and of long duration.
The new lamp consists of cylindrical
vessel of tin, with conical point, and
provided below with tube six inches in
length. The vessel is to be filled entirely
with fragments of phosphide of calcium,
and the tube soldered up alright, so that
the preparation can be kept for many
wears without change. When the lamp
is to be used the tip of the cone is to be
cut off, and an opening made at the end
of the narrow tube referred to, and the
lamp inserted in wooden float, and
thrown into the water. The water pene-
trates through the lower end of the tube,
and comes in contact with the phosphide
of calcium, and is decomposed, with the
formation of phosphuretted hydrogen
gas, which is developed in great quantity,
and which, escaping through the open
tube of the cone. becomes ignited and
burns in contact with the atmospheric
air. An experiment was lately made
with this signal light, in which the lamp
was thrown overheard from a steamer,
and drawn along behind by means of a
string. at a short distance from the
stern. When the lamp touched the water
brilliant flame shot out Immediately
from the opening; and, although it was
continually dragged under water by the
motion of the vessel, the light remained
unextinguished, even after the lamp was
submerged. After time the string was
cut, and the lamp allowed to float behind,
and it was visible for long distance
from the light disseminated around it.

pieces of plain green silk, and 1900 of
what are referred to in the record as
''silk articles of attire" for the household

Chekeang has furnished 5000 silk dresses
and 800 pieces of plain silk for the reserve
wardrobe of the imperial body guard,
and 5 1000 silk dresses and 500 pieces of
plain green silk for the imperial chair
bearers and escort. It is true that the
people of Chekeang, who furnish these
supplies gratuitously, complain of the
burden thrown upon them, and have even
gone so far as to respectfully hint a
doubt as to whether there was not mis-
take in the estimate of the necessities of
the imperial body guard and the matter
of reserve wardrobe"

KILLED. BY A FALsEHooD.-"H He is
dead, said friend of ours the other day,
in answer to an inquiry after the health of
a mutual acquaintance. "Deadi you
don't say so. OF what did he die?" "Of
Credulity," was the reply; che believed in
a patent medicine of which the chief in
gredient was forty-rod rum, and it prov
ed the death of him." This was true; the
unfortunate man had taken for liver com.
plant compound of fiery alcohol and
root Juice, and it had killed him. Now,
did that misguided invalid require tonic? ?
He did, but not spurious excitant. The
writer of this brief statement is confident,
from his own experience, that if the Mar
tyr to Dragged Alcohol had resorted to
DR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs, instead
of to a poison aoih q medScag name which
proved fatal to him, he would to day be in
the land of the living. The justly popu-
lar vegetable specific contains no destruc-
tive element. 1t is tonic that does not
excite, cathartic that does not weaken,
an antiseptic that neutralizes the seeds of
disease in the blood and other fluids OF
the body, and general Alternative which
arrests diseased action in the secretive or
CANS, and restores the functional regular
ity indispensable to health and yigor. We
are no friend of indiscriminate praise,
and believe that many patent medicines
are merely poison, but the experience OF
thousands has proved the VINEGAR BIT
TIERS to be all they claim.

PENDING the selection by the proper
officials of lucky" day in October next
for the marriage ofthe Emperor of China,
the arrangements for the festival are, as
concerns dresses at least, in a very for
ward state. So far back as the year 1869,
the Province of Chekeang was privileged
to receive an edict directing it to present
for the occasion $3.50 pieces of silk goods,
400 catties of silk thread and embroidered
velvet, and 1900 pieces of fine cotton
cloth These were delivered IN due
course, and in response to subsequent
