LA DAmE AUX CAMELIAS.
BY 7, B. ALDRICH.

I think that was the play;
The house was packed from PIT 10 dome
With the gallant and the gay,
Who had to come to see the Tragedy,
And while the hours away.
There was the ruined spendthrift,
And beauty in her prime;
There was the brave Historian,
And there the man of Rhyme,
And the surly Critic, front to 'front.'
To see the play of crime.
And'there was pompous Ignorance
And Vice in flowers and lace;,
Sir CrCesus and Sir Pandarus,
And the music played apace,
But of all that crowd only saw
A single, single facet
That of girl whom had known
In the summers long ago,
When her breath was like the new-mown hay
Or the sweetest flowers that grow:
When her heart was light and her soul was white
AS the winters driven snow.
And there she sat with her great brown eyes:
They wore troubled look;
And read the history of her life
As 1t were an open book;
And saw her soul, like Shiny thing
In the bottom of brook.
With diamonds on her wrist,
And on her brow cleaning thread
OF pearl and amethyst.
% cheat, gilded grief Z" said,
And my eyes were filled with mist.
could not see the players play;
heard the music moan;
1t moaned like dismal autumn wind,
That dies in the woods alone,
And when it stopped heard it still
The mournful monotone!
What if the Count were true or false?
did not care, not I;
What ii Camille for Armand died?
did not see her die.
There sat a woman opposite
With piteous lip and eye
The great green curtain fell on all
On laugh, and vine, and woe
Just as Death some day will fall
'Twixt us and life, know!
The plSy was done, the bitter play a
The people turned to go.
And did they see the Tragedy?
They saw the painted scene:
They saw Armand, the jealous fool,
And the sick Partisan Queen;
But they did not see the Tragedy
The one saw, mean.
They did not see that co1d-cut face,
That furtive look of care;
Or, seeing her jewels, only said,
" The lady's rich and fair"
But tell you, twas the play of life,
And that woman played Despair!

SOUTH BOSTON, May 8, 1870
81. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-I have had considerable experience
with the VEGETINE. For Dyspepsia, General De-
bility, and Impure Blood, the YEGETINE is supe-
rior to anything which have ever used. COM
menced taking VEGETINE about the middle of last
winter, and after using few bottles it entirely
cured me of dyspepsia, and my blood never was
in so good condition as at the present time. It
wilt afford me pleasure to give any further par.

medicine to Sny one who will call or address me
at my residence, $50 Athens street. Very aspect

Harris, who was called to the relief of
q would-be suicide, and who admins
tered the successful antidote. The per-
son had taken between forty and fifty
grains of opium, and was fast dying.
He could no longer swallow, his extrem-
tiles were cold and had turned black,
while his respirations only numbered
between six and seven to the minute.
This last of itself seemed to indicate
that all hope was gone, as anything less
than eight resplratiOns a minute had
heretofore been known as sure pro-
cursor OF death. AS last resort, the
doctor determined to try heroic treat
ment, and he accordingly, with hypo-
derm1c syringe, injected two thirds of a
drachm of nux-vomica dissolved in a
teaspoonful OF water, beneath the skin
over the heart, stomach, spine, and on
each arm above the elbow, and on the
calf of each leg. The quantity of nux-
vomlca would have been the death of
any well man in existence, but in an
tagonism to the opium it was in this
seemingly hopeless case an agent of
life, and in fifteen minutes the man was
sitting up in bed, conscious, and rapid
ly recovering. Exchange. II

Spring he planted 75hills OF Peerless potatoes
