A correspondent writes to the Dratggists
Circular, describing mode of treatment
for lime in the eye. He says: "a negro
came to me in intense agony, some uh-
slaked lime having got into his eye. That
the lime must DO neutralized at all hazards
I felt certain. 1 chose sulphuric acid.
| put one drachm and half Of the diluted
acid in four-ouncc graduate, filed It with
water, and told him to wash his eye with
the liquid He did as he was told, and
was relieved almost Immediately. Then I
made him rinse his eye with pure water,
and after that I told him TO annoint il
with olive oil, and to continue the appli.
cation for some time. To-day he is almost
well, and can sec with bis eye again. In
another similar case no remedy was imme-
diately applied, as doctor had to be sent
for from some distance, and the negro lost
his eye entirely"

THE GREAT AUK.-It is very pleasant
to hear so recently and so directly from
the Great AUX. Blessings are brighter
when they take their flight, and therefore
we prize anything that is extinct. Mr..
Michael Carroll, of newfoundland, says
that these birds, supposed to have been
entirely extinct for nearly fifty years, were
exceedingly numerous within his recollec-
tion at the Funk Islands. He describes
the process of hunting them, as witnessed
by himself forty-fve years ago, when the
fishermen were in the habit of driving the
birds ashore in great numbers into pounds
constructed for the purpose. As the auks
could not fly (they were the northern re-
personalities Of the penguins,) they were
killed in great numbers for the sake Of
their feathers, and soon exterminated by
such wholesale slaughter. These birds
are now among the prizes Of museums, the
skin at the National Museum, one of the
only two perfect examples in this country,
dating back to 1889.

UNIVERSALLY
RECOGNIZE ENDED,

We have just received October. 1879 communica-
ton from nearly every druggist in New England,
and the testimony is universally in favor of SAN
FoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. We believe
there never was a remedy so popular wherever
known, and certainly we feel that never was one
more deserving of praise, Founded upon correct
scientific principles and calculated by the most ac-
complished physicians to meet the severest forms OF
Catarrh the cures made by have not only been nu-
merous but SO remarkable to excite pubic atten-
ton and capse the sale 20 exceed tenfod that of any
similar remedy ever before compounded.
While many are anxious to make public their tes-
tmony in favor of the RADICAL CURE, others-and
among this number may be found many of our most
respected citizens-diske TO become publicly denti-
fed with so oathsome disease. Hence, in the fol-
lowing case we are unable to give the name but are
permitted to state the severity and condition OF tie
case before and after using the RADICAL CURE and
also that the gentleman occupies responsible office
in one of our State institutions We quote:-
81 woald not for the world permit my name to be
used although have no doubt it would be of bene-
fit to many now suffering as have suffered; but
give you brief statement Of my case:-
"FOr two years have taken bromide of
pOtassa and bromide of ammonia every
day. Il never passed n single night with
out getting up once or twice 10 free my
throat from the matter that had dropped
into ii during sleep, and finally cOu2hed
during all this time. Since taking the
RADICAL CURE have taken NO p0tas-
ammonia. have slept sOundly every
might without uneasiness distress; not a
particle of matter has dropped into my
throat during sleep, and every symptom of
a cough has left me.''
A wonderful result truly, all will say who know or
realize the extent and severity of this case. The
gentleman has had eighteen bottles This must sat
sfy the sceptical and there great merit in the RAD
ICAL CURE. Its mode of preparation is and Or
igina Ignoring the old practices and remedies, Dr.
Sanford selected new field and has demonstrated
his method to be the only proper and never falling
treatment.
The following recommendations are from

PASTORAL.

1.-THE following poem by A. j. Mundy, an
English poet is certainly one of the most beau
{ tul things which has been published fol
years.J
l ST. with Doris, the shepherd maiden;
Her crook was laden with wreathed flowers;
l sat and wooed her through sunlight wheeling,
And shadows stealing for hours and hours.
And she, my Doris, whose lap encloses
Wild summer roses of faint perfume,
The while sued her. Kept hushed, and hardened
Till shades had darkened from gloss to gloom
She touched my shoulder with fearful finger;
She said, eve linger; We must not stay;
My fock's In danger, my sheep will wander;
Behold them yonder-how far they stray!'
1 answered bolder "Nay, let me hear you,
And still be near you, and still adore;
No wolf nor stranger will touch one yearling;
Ali stay, my darling, moment more"
She whispered, signing, "There will be sorrow
Beyond tomorrow, if loose to-day;
My fold unguarded, my flock unfolded,
shall be scolded and sent away"
Said /, replying, "If they do miss you,
They ought to kiss you when you get home;
And well rewarded by friend and neighbor,
Should be the labor from which you come"
"They might remember" she answered meekly,
"That lambs are weakly and sheep are wild,
But, if they love me, it's none so feryent;
am a servant, and not child"
Then each hot;ember glowed quick within me,
And love did win me to swift reply;
'Ah! do but prove me, and none shall blind you,
Nor fray, nor find you, until die"
She blushed and started, and stood awaiting,
AS il debating in dreams divine;
But did brave them-I told her plainly
She doubted vainly; she must be mine.
50 we, twin-hearted, from all the valley
Did rouse and rally her nibbling ewes,
And homeward drove them, we two together,
Through blooming heather and cleaning dews.
That simple duty from grace did lend her
My Doris tender, my Doris true;
That ], her warder, did always bless her,
And often press her to take her due.
And now in beauty she fills my dwelling
With love excelling, and undefled;
And love doth guard her, both fast and feryent-
No more a servant, nor yet child.
