POETRY.
The Pressed Gentian.
BY WHITTIER

The time Of gifts has come again,
And, on my northern window-pane,
Outlined against the days brief light,
A Christmas token hangs in sight.
The wayside travellers, as they pass,
Mark the gray d isk of clouded glass;
And the dull blankness seems, perchance
Folly to their wise ignorance.
They cannot from their outlook see
The perfect grace it hath for me;
For there the flower, whose ffinges through
The frosty breath Of autumn blew,
Turns from without its face of bloom
To the warm tropic of my room,
As fair as when beside Its brook
The hue of bending skies 1t took.
So, from the trodden ways of earth,
Seem some sweet souls who veil their worth,
And offer to the careless glance
The clouding gray of circumstance,
They blossom best where hearth-f1Ies burn,
To loving eyes alone they turn
The flowers of inward grace. that hide
Their beauty from the world outside.
But deeper meanings come to me,
My half-immortal flower, from thee!
Man judges from partial view,
None ever yet his brother knew;
The Eternal Eye that sees the whole
May better read the darkened soul.
And find, to outward sense denied,
The flower upon its inmost side!

Apropos to this desire to say a 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
paratfyely a new. preparation, and the trade is
creasing loathsome disease, but from inquiries and
voluntary testimony received in its favor, find its
chronic cases in which all other medicines of the kind
have been tried and have failed to benefit, when
SANFORD's RADICAL CURE has, by the use of taco
bottles entirely cured Incilient cases experience
relief. and In many instances are cured, by using
one bootle. 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. '-r. -ats

ance by q visit TO the Quaker City. This
would require q sacrifice OF q week or two of
time, but then the great exhibition might be
visited as a matter Of form, and thus two
ornithological specimens be killed with one

a statement in the Trdrelers' Official R1its0dy
Guide, which expresses the opinion that at
least 10 900 people will stop with friends In
Philadelphia; that the hotels will accommo-
date 10000, the Centennial Lodging House
Agency 10000, and the adjoining towns from
5000 to 10000. The Ledger Is quite confident
that Philadelphia will be able to accommo-
date all who come.

therefore no one looked for anything OF a
very high order OF merit in the way of Gen.
