THE prevalence Of paralysis in our own
country as well as abroad, it seems to us,
should induce some lover of the healing
art to look into the matter thoroughly. 1t
attacks people Of all classes, conditions and
habits. There must be some uniform
cause for an effect SO universal /; and it
behooves the faculty to look into 1t, with a
view to cure, which is not now in the
resources of medical knowledge.

THE area Of the state of Minnesota is
much larger than the states of New Hamp-

that the first mile of railroad was complet,

The unanimous reelection of William
E. Dodge as president of the New York
chamber of commerce is very justly con-
strued as an expression of the judgment Of
that body against the justice of the late
proceedings in which his firm has been in
volved. Mr.. Dodge took occasion to
allude to the compromise settlement as q
choice of hard alternatives which the law
allowed them, but added since they have
more fully understood the case, they have
continued to regret ever having paid a
dollar. The committee on the subject OF
the laws relating to penalties, notifies. and
perquisites under the revenue tariff laws,
appointed last year, were instructed to re-
new their labors, and to recommend for
action hereafter such changes as will pro-
tect the honest importers from forfeiture
and fines which should fall only on those
who are dishonest and INSCRIPTIONS.

By an act of Parliament no British
steamer is permitted to ship any person de-
sirous Of working his passage" All
deck hands must be regularly entered
upon the crew list, and all men must re-
ceive stipulated wages, as it has been found
that men who work their passage are good
for nothing on the voyage. This law is,
however, frequently circumvented, but few
captains like to be discovered at it, for no
less penalty than a suspension of certifi-
cate will be visited upon the offender.
The quality of the crews has of late very
much deterioated, and it is but of very
recent occurrence that ship of one of the
crack lines had crew composed of men
just from the workhouse, of whom but
one-fifth had ever been on vessel before.
This crew, when at sea, would or conld
not work, and compelled the officers to do
ships duty. When vessels are manned by
crews composed of such material it cannot
be surprising to hear of such disasters as
befell the Atlantic.

SHEAVES.

A sad autumnal sky-a twilight sky,
All colorless and gray;
low wind whispering through the witheree
grass
And wandering away I;
Rare trees-save for handful of brown leaves
A quiet reaper, resting with her sheaves-
How poor they seem how few, how worthless
All for another Spring:
Or if the Summer, late and cold at best,
Might come again, and bring
The light and warmth that best natures the
grain
Before the frost falls and the latter rain
And yet He knows and judges all Alright;
Some by the ways fell;
Some came to naught, and some the birds de-
voured
And he alone can tell -
What bitter chance or circumstance decreed
The utter failure of the cherished seed.
But it may be in diviner air
TRANSPORTED aud made pure,
The harvest that we deemed as wholly lost
Waits perfect and mature
And the faint heart that now defeated grieves
May yet stand smiling mid abundant sheaves.
