DR.. ScHEYcK's PULMoEIO SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medi-
cines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are COM
pounded of vegetable ingredients. and con-
tain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies adver-
tised as cures for Consumption. probably con-
tain opium. which is somewhat dangerous
drug IN all cases. and If taken freely by con-
sumptive patients, il must do great injuryi
for its tendency is TO cOniine the morbid mat
ter in the system, which. of course, must
make a cure impossible. Schenck' s Pulmonlc
Syrup is warranted not TO contain particle
Of opium. II is composed Of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs. liver,
stomach, and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid seoretions. and expel all the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured. and as
Schenek's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, 1t is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions;

This is a vast institution, situated at
the Mont de Prete, owned and managed
by the government, and is one OF the
most useful and benefcent OF the many
charitable establishments of Paris
Ii was founded in l771, during the reign
Of Louis XVI, and destined to put an
end to the abuses of usury." The large
aud elegant buildings which it now oc.
cupies in the Rue des Blanes Manteaux
were not finished until 1856. 1t is an i'm.
mense story edifice, and its employ
es number three hundred, with salaries
amounting to 100000 1t is under the
immediate management of a director
named by the Minister of the Interior,
and council presided over by the Pre-
feet of the Seine.
1t enjoys the exclusive privilege of
lending upon movables, in sums not ex-
ceeding ten thousand francs at the cen
tral Office, and FIVE hundred francs at
any of the supplemental ones. These
loans amount to four ffths of the value
of gold and silver articles, and two
thirds that of other effects. One month
is the shortest .ume for which pledges
are accepted. It's charges are nine per
cent, or half per cent. for fifteen days,
In the refunding of the sums borrowed,
deposits as low as one franc (lSs cents)
are allowed. About eighteen million
pledges are annually offered, and the
transactions within that period amount
to FIVE million dollars. At the end Of
fourteen months the effects are sold al
public auction, if the duplicates are not
removed by the payment of interest
The surplus receipts from these sales
after the charges have been paid, are
held subject TO the order of the borrow
ers for three years. When that time has
expired, and no claimants have pre-
sented themselves, the money is given to
/ the Administrator of Public Assistance
The establishment realizes about forty
THOUSAND dollars a year clear of all ex
penses. This shows conclusively how
terribly the pawnbrokers OF other coun
tries cheat the unfortunate beings whom
necessity compels to apply to them.
The FIRST floor Of the great building is
the ariTOcratic quarter-the Foubourl

and second divisions are enclosed the

than thousand francs have been lent

ware, the finest of laces, and the most
superb of India shawls. On the next
two floors ore to be found garments of
all kinds, bed and table linen, toilet arti-
Giles, books tools, &c. Thousands, nay,
millions of things are here stored away
in perfect order and with admirable sym
metry.
The two upper floors contain the
pledges extorted from utmost poverty by
cruelest need. In these rooms an i'm
mense number of mattresses, the last
pawnable article from which misery will
general separate itself, are packed
away. The basement is appropriated
to new merchandise in bulk, and mir
rors, bronzes, etc. A special office has
been opened in another locality for arti-
cles in coarser metal, such as anvils,
caldrons, etc.
The statistics of Mont de Prete prove
the laboring men and small merchants
to be its most numerous customers, while
the military are the least. In thousand
borrowers the former will number I30,
and the latter only four. :.
There are forty-four similar establish
ments scattered through the various de-
partments, but these do not altogether
transact as much busines as does this
one at Paris alone.

Dear Matte, could call thee mine,
The fondly priced of other years;
Could love around thy heart entwine
wreath of beauty seen through tears;
Oh, Matte, couldst thou read this heart,
That never knew another shrine; :,
Thou wouldst not from me coldly part,
But let me love thee, call thee mine.
Thy magic voice has often cheer'd,
This wayward heart of sad unrest.
And held my soul to earth endear'd,
For ling ring near thee was blessed.
When on thy way to school one morn.
The convent bells were loudly rung;
Twas when our love was in its dawn,
And care was lightly from us flung.
How anxiously watched the lawn.
To catch a glimpse of thee that day;
And boldly defed their scorn,
Should holy sisters come that way.
We met, you smil'd, how bless'd was I,
To feel that smile was all my own;
But now we meet, you only sigh,
And look on me as one unknown.
Obi Matte. smile once more on me.
That dear. sweet smile of long ago,
When you and in blithesome glee,
Went forth amid the winters snow.
When by your side stood to catch
Soft music floating in the air;
Or from your hair fresh garands snatch.
That hung so beautifully there.
Then, Matte. smile on me once more,
That dear sweet smile Of long ago.
From my lone heart remove tho sore.
The sad distress you cannot know.
Then I'll return to life again.
And cherish long those dear, sweet smiles
I'll drive away this weary pain.
And seek repose in Cupid's wiles!
