A Poem Of Robert Burns

A Poem OF Robert Burns.
Hitherto unpublished
The trout in yonder whipping o"iA
That glides, silver dars DART, thorn
And safe beneath the shady 'noin
Defes the anglers art: ,s, r,or,
NV lite was once that car9ie' '
Tbat wanton trout was L,
pnt love wiz unrelenting beam
Has scorched my fountains dry.
That little floweret's peaceful lot
In yonder cliff that grows,
Which, save the linnet's fight, 1 wot,
No ruder visit knows,
Was mine, till love had DER me passed,
And blighted a. my bloom;
And now beneath the whitening blast
My youth and joy consume.
The wakened lav'rock warbling springs,
And climbs the early sky,
Winnowing blithe his dewy wings
In mornings rosy eye;
As little reckt sorrows power,
Until the fow'ry snare
o. witching love, in luckless hour,
Made me the thrall O. care.

THE $4,000 CoW.-The short-horn
COW, Eighth Duchess of Geneva, that
was purchased at the late New York
Mills sale by Mr.. r. PAWN Davies, OF

changed hands, and will remain in
America, part and parcel of the herd

being unaccustomed to our currency,
in the excitement ofsthe sale became
confused us to the relative value of
dollars and pounds sterling, and bid
far beyond his authorized limit. On
his return to England his prsncipal
wrote to Mr.. Campbell, requesting him
to dispfse of the COW for his account
on rs favorable terms as possible. Up
on hearing of this Colonel Morris at
once offered the price that Lord Skill
paid for his prominent pur-
chase, $4,000, which was accepted

ney General Williams, requesting the
Withdrawal of his nomination to the
Office of Chief Justice:
-. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, I
Washington, D. c., Jan. 8. s
10 the President
SIR-YOu were kind enough, with
out my solicitation or any knowledge
on my part that you contemplated
such a thing, to nominate me for Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Since that time, the
foodgates of calumny in all directions
have been opened upon me. My abil-
tiles have been disparaged; my integ-
rity brought in questions, and it seems
to me that a public opinion adverse to
my appointment has been created
which might hereafter embarrass your
and perhaps, impair
my usefulness on the bench.
With perfect consciousness that
have performed with the clean hand OF
an uplight purpose all the duties Of
the various public places TO which
have been called, and trusting to time
and just public, when better inform
ed, for my vindication, I respectfully
ask you to withdraw from the Senate
my domination for Chief Justice. ~.
1have the honor to be, with great
respect, GEO. II. WILLIAMS.

Two Foes of Health.

Cold and damp are iuimical to health
and we generally have an unwhole-
some combination of the two at this
season. They penetrate the skin and
|integuments and affect the muscular,
slandular and nervous organizations,
producing rheumatism, neuralgia and
chills and fever, and where there is a
tendency to dyspepsia or liver COM
plant, provoking an attack of ind'ges-
ton or biliousness. The best advice
that can be given under such circum-
stances is to keep the external surface
of the body warmly clothed, and to
keep the internal organs in vigorous
working order with the most whole
some aud genial of all tonics, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Gradually but
constantly this famous invigorant is
superseding the adulterated liquors of
commerce, as a medicinal stimnlant
and corrective, in all parts of the coun-
try. 1t will be happy day for hu-
manity, and it will surely come, when
this pure restorative shall have taken
the place of raw spirits as stimulant
in all our public and private hospitals.
1t is not, however, merely harmless
substitute for the fiery stimulants re
ferred to. Its stimulating properties
are not its chief merits, although in
this regard it surpasses all the unmed-
icated products of the still. domestic or
imported, The powerful influence it
exercises over the torpid and toneless
stomach, the disordered liver, the con-
stipated bowels, and the relaxed
nerves, render it a positive specific in
dyspepsia, liver complaint, intestinal
construction, nervous weakness, hypo-
chondria, rheumatism and s,eepless-
ness. All chronic complaints are ag-
gravated by cold, moist atmosphere,
aud it is therefore particularly neces-
sary for those who are afflicted with
ailments of this nature, whatever their
type may be, to meet this prelisposiDg
cause of sickness with Wholesale an
tidote, Hostetters Bitters should be
taken daily at this season by all per-
sons laboring under chronic ailments
that tend to weaken the system.

MUTTEEINGs OF TIE COMING STORM,
DO what you may, the principles in
VOWED in this salary business will be
among the issues on which the country
will pass Judgment. Your attempts to
whistle them down the wind will not
tavaii. That part of the Republican
party which assists or countenances
such attempts will be defeated. Neith-
er presidents, Dor cabinets. nor pres
t'se, nor patronage, nor the cant Of
denagn.ues can save it.
The moment it is clear that corrupt
and corr upting influences have procu-
red CONTROL Of the Republican party
and cannot be shaken of there will he
a new birth of politics. The forward
ness of preparation among the people
Tor smell, contingency is much greater
than is commonly supposed. The
events III Washington since Congress
assembled have not tended to quiet
|app' ehensiops that the Republican or
S"ulatiou is drifting to the bad. No
department of the public service is in Il
satisfactory condition, aud, worst of all,
there seems to be an indispostion to
work a reformation. There is every
where indifference to the suggestions
OF wisdom and common sense. When
an administration ceases to trust the
men whom the people trust, reserving
its honorable rewards for subservient
lncapaci'y, the country will prepare
for change, and there is no help for
it, Boston Daily Advertiser.
