Mr.. Lowell said he ihad 0een about to
make a suggestion similar to that OF Mr..
Hahn. He happened to be personally cog
nizant of some of these affairs, and wanted
the committee to 60 to the bottom OF the
matter.
Messrs. Byrne and Ray objected, the lat
ter saying he was only opposed to instruct
ing the committee to do what was it's duty.
He said the committee would soon be ready
to report, but only desired more time to
make it complete. If there was any honor
to be gained, they ought to have it.
Mr.. Byrne said he was not seeking for
honor, but these gentlemen seemed to be
negligent.
He called for the previous question, which

Apropos to this desire to say word in relation
to SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. l
have been much surprised at its large and ready
sale in this city for the following 1t is
flooded with so-caled remedies for this rapidly in
creasing oathsome disease, but from inquiries and
voluntary testimony received in its favor, find its
effect is the cause of its popularity. 1 know of
chronic cases in which all other medicines fthe kind
have been tried and have failed to benefit, when
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE has, by the use of taco
bottles. entirely cured. Incpent cases experience
relief, and in many instances are cured, by using
one bootte. Knowing of what 1 write, have no
hesitation in saying that SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH is the most reliable preparation of
the kind have ever sold.

POETRY.
The Christ.
LEGEND OF ST. CHRISTOPHER.

"Carry me across!'
The Syrian heard, rose up, and braced
His huge limbs to the accustomed toll;
my child, see how the waters boil!
The night-black heavens look angry-faced-''
''But life is little loss"
''I'll carry thee with joy,
If need be, safe as a nesting dove;
For DER this stream pilgrims bring
In service to one Christ, king,
Whom / have never seen, yet love.'
Il thank thee" said the boy.
Cheerful, Aprobos took
The burden on his shoulders great,
And stepped into the waves once more;
When, loi they leaping rise and roar,
And meath the little childs light weight,
The tottering giant shook.
"Who art thou?'' cried he wild,
Struggling in the middle of the ford;-
.'Boy as thou look'st, it seems to me
The whole worlds load bear in thee!'
sYet-for the sake of Christ, thy Lord
Carry mel'' said the child.
And in the moonlight blue
The saint saw-not the wandering boy
But Him who walked upon the sea
And DER the plains OF Galilee,
Till, filled with mystic, awful joy,
His dear Lord Christ he knew.
Oh, little is all loss,
And brief the space 'twixt ehore and shore,
If thou, Lord Jesus, on us lay,
Through the deep waters OF our way,
The burden that Christopheros bore
To carry thee across!
