The Science Of Health having
been sustained beyond our most sanguinc
expectations, we are prepared with addition
al facilities for making the ensuing volume
respond still more fully to the popular de-
nand for an honest and independent expo
nent of the Hygienic System. We shall pub
lisl--
Popular. Physiology, fully illus
trated, u complete explanation of the struct-
ures and functions of the human system.
Affections Of the Eye and Ear,
with hundreds OF illustrations, embracing
the whole range Of medical and surgical dis
eases of these organs.
All Medical Systems, giving a his
tory of all the medical theories that have
prevailed in all ages of the world.
Domestic Economy, Household AT
fairs Hygienic Cooking, the Selection and
Preservation of Food, etc
The Economy of Health. Only
those who have investigated the subject can
be aware of the enormous waste caused by
sickness aud unhygienic living. BY adopting
the Hygiene system the people of the Unit
ed States would save annually more than
one thousand millions Of dollars. Does this
statement seem cxtravagant! Statistics
more than justify it, as we shall prove.

THE POETS CORNER.
Spring and Winter.

By Owen MEREDITH.
The world buds every year:
But the heart Just once, and when
The blossom falls off sere
No new blossom comes again.
All the rose goes with the wind;
But the thOrnS remain behind.
Was it well in him, if he
Felt not love, to speak Of love 500
If he still unmoyed must be,
Was it Aobly sought to move sol
Pluck the flower and yet not wear it!
Spurn, despise it, yet not spare it Z
Need he say that was fair,
With such meaning in his tone,
just to speak of one whose hair ..
Has the same tingc rs my own9
Pluck my life up, root and bloom,
Just to plant it on her tomb
And she'd scarce SO fair face
$50 he used to say) as mine;
And her form had far less grace!
And her brow was far less fine;
But twas Just that he loved then,
More than he Gun love again.
Why, i beauty could not bind him,
Need lle prnise me, speaking low;
Use my face just to remind him
How no face could please him nowl
Why il loving could not move him,
Did he teach me still to love him!
And he said my eyes were bright,
But his own he said were dim:
And my hand, he said, was white;
But what was THAT to him.
..For, he said, in gazing at you,
seem gazing at q statue"
Eyes r ho said, che had grown wise nov
He had suffered much Of yore;
But Il fair face to his eyes now,
Was IL fair face and no morc,
Yet the anguish aud the bliss,
And the dream, too, had been his
Why those words, thought too tender
For the con,aonplaccs spokenl
Looks whose meaning seemed to render
Help to words when speech came broken
Why SO late in July moonlight
just to say what's said by moonlight !!

THE ALABAMA Claims PAYMENT

special to the New York Times from
Washington dated the 9th says: "The last act
in the historical Alabama claims controversy
as between the government of the United
States and that of Great Britain was performed
to-day, and created very lively interest
among the newspaper people, in marked con-
trast with the dulness which has reigned here
so long. From the documents which record
the transaction it will be seen that nations can
pay their bills with as little machinery and
formality as individuals. The certificate
which was issued in the names of the brokers
OF the British Government was like any other
certificate for gold deposited in the Treasury,
but bore upon its back when finally handed
over series of distinguished Endorsements
which will make it historical document, and
when Cancelled and filed away will cause it to
be as much inquired after by curious visitors
as are the silver dollars captured in the skirts
Of jeff. Davis The presence of Minister
Thornton. Consul General Archibald, Secre-
tary Fish, and Assistant Secretary Davis at
the Treasury Department all at one time, on
this important international occasion, made
picture for history. If only pencil had been
there to portray it! But the most interesting
document is the bond issued to Secretary
Fish under the act of Congress to be by him
held in trust for the claimants of the award
A single bond covers the entire sum. 1t is
beautifully executed by an expert with pen
upon parchment, and when redeemed, as it
| will be under the future action of Congress in
| distributing the award, will become another
curiosity. Tonight Mr.. Davis entertains the
| principal participants in the transfer, as well
as those members of the Cabinet in the city,

notable event the last feature in the greatest
