M. Duplessis, before the French Academy
OF Sciences, gives singular instance of the
transmission of disease from one crop to an
other by the agency of fl Iods. OF field of
rye on the banks of the Loire, one half was
attacked with ergot or smut, while the other
nall was entirely free from all traces of dis
ease. The line of demarcation between the
healthy and unhealthy parts of the field was
lust the limit reached by an overflow of the
rive. Some distance from this field was an
other crop of rye, which had been attacked
with ergot in the previous year. The infer
ence Is that the germs of the fungus were
6ronght down by the waters of the Loire
from the infected field, which they over
flowed, to the lower field, which was also
Hooded in part The case would seem to be
well authenticated.

BY ISAAC MCCLELLAN.
Fast on the northern breeze,
Beyond the rosy cloud-ands OF the morn
see your wedge-like column Ger the seas
In swift procession borne.
Now DER some headand gray,
Now DER The sloping beach with sands Of gold,
Now Ger grim forests thot engird the bay,
Your passage behold.
Far up the savage shore
Or fast by the shores OF rugged Labrador,
Where smoke the Indian camps.
Your spring-time home hath been.
And there your yellow goslings you have fed,
Where reeds grow rank, and grow the grasses green
Afar from human tread
To soft southern cline,
To Cardinals low and marshy coast,
Or isles of Mexic gulf in flight sublime,
Speeds on your sable host.
And there in bays afar,
Or by some sluggish river, dark and deep,
Where red famingoes line the sandy bar.
And the tall herons sweep.
Yeur winter homo shall be-
Where groves of palm shall shake the plumy crest
And perfumed gales distill from shrub and tree,
Your paradise OF rest!

ASTONISHING SUCCESS. 1t is the
duty Of every person who has used
BosoHEE's GERMAN SYRUP TO let its
wonderful qualities be known TO
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu.
monia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bot
tie, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where 1t
failed was reported. Such u medi-
