~ JAMES RsUsrLL LOWELL
Dear common dover, that g:9w'st beside The way,
bringing the dusty road with harmless god!
First pledge OF blithesome May,
Which children pluck, and, full of PRIDE uphold
High-hearted bnccaneers,-o'e enjoyed that they
An Eldorado in the grass have found,
Which not the rich earths ample round
May match in wealth ! thou art more dear to me
Than all the proud gay summer blooms may be.
Gold such as thine meier drew the Spanish prov
Through the primeval hush or Indian seas,
Nor wrinked the lean brow
0fage, to rob the lovers heart of ease.
IT'S the Springs largess, which she scatters now
TO rich and poor alike with lavish hand,
Though most hearts never understand
10 take it at Gods value, but pass by
The offered wealth with unrewarded eye.
Thou art my tropics and my Italy;
To look at thee unlocks a warmer cline;
The eyes thou givest me
Are in the heart and heed not space or time;
Not in mid-June the golden curassed bee
Feels more Summer like, warm ravishment,
In the white lily's breezy tent,
His conquered Sybaris, than 1. when first
From the dark green thy yellow circles burst.
Then think of deep shado ws on the grass;
Of meadows where in sun the cattle Craze,
Where, as the breezes pass,
The cleaning rushes lean thousand ways;
OF leaves that slumber in cloudy mass,
Or whiten in the wind; of waters blue
That from the distance sparkle through
Some woodland gap; and of sky above
Where one white cloud, like stray lamb, doth
move.
My childhood's earliest thoughts are linked with
thee!
The sight of thee calls back the robins song,
Who, from the dark old tree
Beside the door, sang clearly all day long;
And l, secure in childish piety,
Listened as if heard an angel sing
With news from Heaven, which he did bring
Fresh every day to my untainted ears,
When birds and flowers and were happy peers.
How like prodgal doth nature seem,
When thou, for all thy gold SO common art!
Thou teachest me to deem
More sacredly Of every human heart,
Since each reflects in joy its scanty CLEAN
of Heaven, and could some wondrous secret show,
Did we but pay the love we owe,
Aud with childs undoubting wisdom look
On all these living pages of Gods book.

MEDICAL.

During the year 1866 DR.. G. Edgar Lothrop had
new and peculiar drug from the interior of Africa,
brought prominently under his notice by the very
strange effect it produced on an animal who had
accidentally swallowed large quantity. Owing to
this circumstance he was led to make many expert
ments on the lower animals, and he soon discovered
that it had very peculiar effect the Nervous Sys-
TEN. This induced him to experiment both on himself
and some of his patients, and such was the wonder
fully beneficial effects and rapid the cure of those
afflicted with nervous diseases, that Dr. Iothr0p
to the conclusion that he had discovered new
and valuable addition to the medicines of the pbar-
macop9a. He soon found that this medicine in con-
junction with some Others cured nervous diseases of
all kinds with certainty and rapidity of which he
had no previous conception
few words on that special disease generally known
as Nervous Debility Weakness This is in most cases
brought on by total ignorance of the fearful neni-
cous effects but it is also brought on in many cases
brought on through no fault of the person afflicted
but by dlsease long confinement and several other
causes-but in all cases the effect the constitution
is the same Heretofore, there has been no cure for
this disease but DR.. Lothrop, having put up this
medicine in the form Of CORDIAL BALM OF IRI-
CUM AND TONIC PILLS, combined with other
medicines. offers them TO all sufferers as safe and
speedy cure. Our Lunatic Asylums are full of pa
tients, in many cases brought hither by the effects
OF Nervous Debility. Many thousands suffer in ST

Of republican institutions. 1t has nc

NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
The Leading American Newspaper
Foundedby Horace Greeley

TN THE RECENT ELECTIONS
the people have declared in favor of
honesty in politics aud independence
in journalism. THE TRIBUNE, which
years ago declared that it was not and
never more would be party organ,
claims the verdict, as the popular vim
dication of its course, and recognizes
in the result the voice Of the people
for reform aud integrity in govern
ment, for candor and independence
among newspapers. During the cam
paign which has just closed The TIKI
BuNE has fully maintained it's right to
the title of the "Leading American
Newspaper" This position it has
earned and retains for the following,
among other reasons:
1t publishes all Ne news, earlier,
more fully, and more intelligeutly than
any other paper.
1t Insists on peace throughout the
whole country, the right of local self.
government, and the protection of all
classes in the exercise of their just and
legal rights.
1t advocats confidence and good feel
ing between North aud South, and
Iabors for an honest and abiding re-
Cancellation.
1t maintains fairness and cand0r to.
ward all public men and questions, aud
dignity and courtesy toward associates
and rivals. ...
1t publishes scientific news, reports;
discussions and discoveries to degree
of fulluess and accuracy never before
attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or more
columns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during the year,
much more in the aggregate than the
entire contents of any other agri-
cultural publication, and the whule
forming a department of which AL
eminent agricultural editor said: 81,
has done more to make good farmers
than any other influence which evel
existed"
1t has published series Of scientific
and literary extras which have met a
wider scale and more emphatic popu-
lar approval than any similar publica
ton of the kind.
