The Boston Journal meutions several
cases In which invalids have been bene-
fitted by drinking warm blood. 1t says :;
Mention was made recently of gentle
man in very feeble stale of health who
had been for some time at the Butchers
AbbatOir, IN Brighton, for medical treat
meat, simply drinking half tumblerful
of warm blood twice a day. This course
the gentleman, Mr.. @. h. Stickney, who
is willing that his name shall appear, has
followed until a week ago, having been
there ten weeks, and during that time
gained ten pounds 10 weight, and, to use
his own words, "My appetite is good |
sleep well and feel like new man, and |
am coon TO commeene business again In
Boston"
He also says that there are ten or twelve
others there, drinking the blood, all oil
whom are gaining under this treatment.
One gentleman from Boston, consump'
tive, 60 feeble that II is with difficulty
he could. get to this abbatoir, is now able
to handle An axe skillfully enough To
knock down a bullock" A lady from
the city who has been sick SIX years,
stricken with paralysis, is improving
wonderfully by this blood cure" A
gratifying feature of this cure Is that il
Is "without money and without price,
and Mr.. Stlckney speaks in praise of the
gentlemen in charge of this establish

place will ind courteous treatment.

CONTENT.


A rars old fellow, seldom seen
Within the chambers Of the great,
Who hketh best modest mien,
Preferring delf TO silver plate
Old chum Of mine, we break our fast
Together in the morning light,
And when the busy day is past.
Meet by the hearth again at night.
The roof that shelters his grey head,
I'm sure ia ever hallowed.
He often wandera in disguise
Yon cripple, all awry and bent,
Clad IN q tattered suit Of frleze,
You'd hardly think our friend. Content
Or that rough msn who stons to pat
The little barefoot sweeper's head,
And leaves q coin inside his hat
That robs him of a slice Of bread
The sailor he whose horny palms
Just flung the shivering beggar aims.
The honest sparkle IN his eyes,
The heart of gold that throbs within,
He cannot cover with disguise,
Whatever garb he clothes him in.
I've seen him when the shy was black,
And hy-ways splaHhed with falling rain,
Bending beneath a tinker's pack,
Trolling a CHEEKY old refrain
For wealth is good, and ancient wine,
But merry heart makes the spirit shine.

Hugh Miller was first brought to the
notice Of scientific men by the late Prof
fessor Agasslz. Al meeting of the
British Scientific Association, Miller, who
was then common day-laborer, ap-
preached Agasslz with specimen Of rock
in his hand, and began To make certain
lpqulries concerning it. During the con
versation that eusued Agassiz discovered
that this common laborer was possessed
of a large fund Of geological Information
which he had acquired by personal inves-
tlgations, induced solely by his innat,
love for the science. Agassiz was de
lighted at meeting him, and introduced
Miller TO the members of the society, ex
planning the manner in which he hRt
become acquainted With him. The friend
ship thus formed continued through theil
lives, and Agassiz wrote the introduction
TO Hugh Miller's first published work.
