In a review of London paupcrism re-
Gently published, Il striking contrast is
drawn between the present state of
things and that existing sixty years ago.
Then the number of persons relieved by
the poor rates was eight per cent. of the
population. Now it is only three per
cent. The population has more than
treblcd in that time, yet the number of
persons wanting relief remains nearly
he same.

THERE were important disclosures last
week in the trial in st. Louis of McDon-
aid for delrauding the revenue The
man who collected the enormous sums OF
blackmail from the distillcrS was on the
stand. He swore that something like
500 600 year was collected and dis
tributed among the thieves for four
wears; that the "cmolumcnts" were more
than SIS. 900 "A week, and that one Of the
ring who believed in ''the policy of 81
lcnce" received $4,000. A bad lot all
around, but the worst of them is this
Megram, vino willingly made himself a
confederate of theirs for five years, and
now betrays all the rest in order to retain
his own share of the plumber and keep
out of lail. The st. Louis ring seems to
have been conducted by shrcwd and Gun,
ming men, and it is to be hoped that
their punishment may serve as warn
ING instead of profitable trick to be
initiated by unscrupulous officials ii
other heavy revenue districts. 1t is pos
sibe that there is some "crookcd whisky
here in New York.

thus enumerates;
"a girl in one of the hotels, who was
absent during the first Of the fire, came
rushing in when il was at its height, and
in breathless haste ran 10 her room. She
quickly seized hair brush, and, stufiing
Ii into her muff, started down stairs in
the same haste, leaving her trunk and
other valuables in the room.
Another, in her excitement, forgot her
little child, and left it to its fate. Two
courageous young men, however, amid
thick smoke, and in close proximity 10
the flames, rushed upstairs and secured
the child.
"While one of the blocks was burning Q

WISHING AND HAVING.

By r. II. sTODDARD.
II to wish and to have were one, my dear,
You would be sitting DOW
With not q care in your tender heart,
Not wrinkle upon your brow;
The clock of time would go back with you
All the years you have been my wife,
Till it's golden hands had pointed out
The Aappiest hour OF your life;
| would stop them at that immortal hour;
The clock should no longer run;
You could not be sad and sick and old
II to wish and to have were one.
You are not here in the winter, my love,
The snow Is not whirling down;
You are in the heart Of the summer woods,
In your dear old seaside town;
A patter OF little feet in the leaves,
4 beautiful boy at your side:
He is gathering flowers in the shady hooks
It was but dream that he died!
Keep hold Of his hands, and sing to him;
No mother under the sun
Has such q seraphie child as yours
II to wish and to have are one.
Methinks am with you there, dear wife,
In that old house by the sea;
have flown to you as the bluebird flies
To his mate In the poplar-tree.
sailors hammock hangs at the door,
You swing in it, book in hand;
A boat Is standing in for the beach,
Its keel now CRATES on the sand;
Your brothers are coming-two manly men
Whose lives have only begun;
Their days win be long In the land, dear
heart
II ~ wish and to have are one.
If to wish and to have were one, ah me!
Iwould not be old and poor,
But young and prosperous gentleman,
With never dun at the door;
There would be no past to bewail, my love
There woult be no future to dread
Your brothers would be live men again,
And my boy would not be dead.
Perhaps IL will all come right at last;
1t may be, when all is done,
We shall be together in some good world

X. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, n. Y.
Dear Sir-I have suffered from Catarrh In
an aggravated form for about twelve years
and for several years from Bronchial trouble
Tried many doctors and things with no last
ing benefit. In May, ~, becoming nearly
worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a
paper In New York city, was attacked with
Bronchitis In severe form, suffering almost
total loss Of voice. returned home here,
but had been home only two weeks when /
was completely Frustrated with Hemorrhage
from the lungs, having four se~re bleeding
spells ,ritta t,ro ,ceeks, aud first three inside of
nine days. In the September following | i'm.
proved sufficiently to be able to be about,
though In very feeble state. Nv Bronchial
trouble remained and the Catarrh was ten.
fold worse than before. Every effort for re-
lief seemed fruitless. / seemed to be losing
ground daily. / continued in this feeble
state, raising blood almost daily, until about
the first Of March, '73 when became so bad
as to be entirely confined to the house. A
friend suggested your remedies. But was
extremely skeptical that they would do me
good, as i had lost all heart In remedies
and began TO look upon medicine and doctors
with disgust. However / obtained one of
your circulars, and read 1t carefully, from
which came to the conclusion that YOU I'M
cerstood your business, at least ! finally oh.

lets In a short time brought out severe
eruption, which continued for several weeks.
l felt much better, my appetite improved, and
l gained in strength and flesh. In three
months every vestige of the Catarrh was
gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared,
had no Cough whatever, and had entirely
ceased 10 raise blood and, contrary to the ex-
pecta.ion Of some of my friends, the cure has
remained permanent ! have had no more
Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am en-.
tircly free from Catarrh, from which had
suffered SO much and so long. The debt OF
gratitude i owe for the blessing / have re-
ceiyed at your hands knows no bounds. am
thoroughly satisfied, from my experience, that
your medicines will master the worst forms OF
that odious disease, Catarrh, as well as Throat

their praise. Gratefully yours,
