POETRY.
AGAIN.

o, sweet and fair! O. rich and rare!
That day so long ago.
The autumn sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow,
The ferns were clad in cloth of gold,
The waves sang on the shore.
Such suns will shine, such waves will
sing,
Forever evermore.
o, fit and few! o, tried and truel
The friends who met that day.
Each one the others spirit knew,
And so in earnest play
The hours flew past, uiioi iasU
The twilight kissed the shore.
We said, ''Such days shall come again,
Forever evermore."
One day again, no cloud of pain
A shadow DER us cast;
And yet we strove in vain, in vain,
To conjure up the past;
Like, but unlike,-the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore,
The words we said, the songs we sung,
Like,-unlike,-e
For ghosts unseen crept in between.
And, when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an undertone,
And marred our harmony.
1.-The past is ours, not yours" they said
"The waves that beat the shore,
Though like the shme, are not the same,
o, never, nevermor2!"

TABERNACLE SERVICES.

The following is an extract from the
remarks Of Gen. John l.. Swift at the
Tabernacle services in Boston, Mass.
Gen. Swift has recently been convert

member him as one of the campaign
speakers last fall:

there are those here that can recall the
fact. thet was invited by my fellow
citizens to denver, In fremont temple,
an address upon the campaign in Mis-
sissipi at the surrender Of Port Hudson.
The Mayor of the city presided. The
hall was crowded, and we were all at
white heat Of patriotism, and was
endeavoring to picture the advance
and occupation of our victorious army
on those blood-stained uplands.
The scene was wildly before me,
and when ! came to where our men

The Important Question.

OF all loathsome diseases Catarrh stands
pre-eminent. 1t renders its victim as dis
gushing to himself as to others. And the
most humiliating of all is the consciousness
that his presence is offensive to those around
him. If any disease deserves the name of
universal, it is this. Dietetic errors and the
toliies which Fashion imposes upon us tend
to foster and disseminate it. To the pitiful
cry of its victims, is there any cure for Ca
tdrTh? there is but one answer consistent
with Christian reason. God has never sent
one evil into the world for which he has not
sent the remedy. For the greatest of all
spiritual and moral evils, the Great Physi-
clan has prescribed a potent and never-tail-
ing remedy. He has given explicit rules
for the treatment and preservation of the
spiritual and moral man, but He is silent in
all matters relating to the physical man. 1t
would be an unwarrantable detraction from
His benefcert character to suppose that He
has afflicted the greater portion of humanity
with an incurable disease. The day of
plaques is past. The God of Christianity is
a God of Love, of Mercy, His message is
good will to all men," The earth and all
contained therein was intended by the great
Designer to supply mans wants; and surely
he has no greater wants than remedies for
his infrmities. Science is rapidly proving
that the earth is fitted to supply mans utter
most need. New medicinal plants are con-
stantly being discovered and new properties
developed from those already known. For
Catarrh, the most potent remedy yet discov-
cred is DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Its
efficacy has been tested in many thousand
cases with uniform success. Cases that had
been repeatedly pronounced incurable,
readily yielded to it. In confirmed, or obsti'
nate cases, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis.

THE inventors of BURNETT'S COCAINE
knowing that when the loss of hair occurs, it
is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated,
and that animal fats by their nature induce
heat rather than alleviate it-turned their at
tention and pharmaceutical science toward
vegetable oils, as the basis OF a medicamentto
promote the growth and preserve the beauty
of the hair. The Oleum c0cos, or COCoANUT
OIL, presented itself most strongly, as pos
sessing many properties peculiarly adapted
for the purp ose; but its odor was objection
able, and its density Except when exposed
to heat seemed for a long time to defy all eff
forts to render it available, for popular use,
in cooler climates. By a scientific selection
of other Ingredients, those which will chem
ically combine with the oil have been discov-
cred, and they together have produced a
compound, which is unqualifedly pro-
nounced to be the best that has yet appeared.
In the form presented, this oil is perma'
nently deodorized, and held in a combination
which peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; BUR
NETS COCAINE is unrivaled in delicacy
and Notwithstanding in its nature
and possesses such a penetrating affinity fol-
the secretions OF the skin, that it is rapidly
absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is best secured by q
perfect cleansing, before its application, Of
the hair and scalp, under which circum.
stances this oil alloys irritation, removes, all
tendency to dandruE, and inUigordtes the NC
ton of the capillaries in the highest degree
Its effects upon the glossiness and richness
of the hair is such as cannot be surpassed
and it is offered to the public in the firm be
lief that it only requires to be known to
supercede all other preparations. We are
confident that no one who will make a trial
of its efficacy will be willing to return to the
use of any other preparation.

AN Eastern Spectator passed through
the lowlands of Missouri and Kansas

it was discovered that the dry sand had

cases a new hoof had formed.

GERMANTOWN Telegraph: Sheep rails
ing is annually increasing all over the
country. Farmers are beginning to find
there is nothing more profitable, in a
general sense, than a good flock of sheep.
They require a very small outlay, when
once a flock is started, and yet the pro-
duct of wool, meat and is of
very considerable Importance. To avoid
the principal objection to sheep raising
BY many farmers, the dog, a corral
should be constructed neal the barn or
in the most convenient point IN the
farm, where the flock should be herded
nightly during the year, and thus be
protected against the most worthless and
disgusting of animals-the sheep dog
which seldom make their attacks by day,
and when they do they can be readily
shot.
AN Illinois farmer thus tells how to
raise tobacco plants: Take some of the
seeds that you want to sow and throw
them on live fire Goals, and, if they pop
they are good; then burn a big brush

ground is thawing iout in February OIL

with a brush by hand; then tramp the
ground hard and smooth, and cover the
bed thin with fine brush, to keep off the
frost and reflect the heat of the sun. Il
any leaves or trash blow on the bed,
take them off. After the frost is ove-,
take off the brush also. If the ground
gets too dry, water it, and if any grass
or weeds come up in the bed, pull them

A MaUnifce1lt Toilet,

lNoM ~ 1IiuuuosJ
One of the Grand Dukes is credited,
on the authority of a lady who passed
part of the evening in the box set apart
for the Russian visitors at the Lady
Washington Reception-with an express
sion of surprise at the freshness and
m~agnifcence of some of the toilets orn
on that occasion. More beautiful and
e~xtravagant costumes, he is reported as
adding, are not to be seen on public
occasions even in European courts.
Probably the most elegant toilet seen at
the late reception, or at any other in
this city during the winter, is thus de-
scribed: The dress proper was of cream
white satin, stiff enough to stand alone,
with long train, and a partly flowing
Vatican of black Lyons velvet falling
wei the satin train. The Watteau was
almost entirely covered by old round
point lace turned back upon the velvet,
showing the entire pattern of the lace.
Over the white satin front of the dress
was more black velvet, draped with
point lace hounces garnished with novel
designs in flowers, consisting of tour
nures of pansies, pinks, apple-blossoms,
Narcissus and autumn leaves fringed
with lilies of the valley. The Vatican
vas held back by bouquets of flowers
from the waist down. The bodice was
cut square, both in front and behind,
very low. and with short sleeves gar
nished with flowers and lace. The fan,
designed to suit the toilet, was round
edged with marabout feathers and a
narrow founce of round point lace, the
sides representing natural lilies of the
valley and violets and (the reverse) tea
roses and cardinal buds. The ornaments
were diamonds exclusively, and were of
immense value. The necklace was COM
posed of nineteen diamonds, the biggest
fully as large as a mans thumb nail, and
the smallest about the size of the little
finger nail. They were strung upon a
chain of so delicete workmanship that
the diamonds almost covered and con-
cealed it. The pendant was a cross of
| eleven diamonds of the size of the
smaller ones in the necklace. The ear
rings were s~olitaires each of a karat or
two less in weight than the largest of
the necklace. The bracelets were two
bands of gold, black enameled, with five
diamonds in each. The forty-two dia-
monds are estimated in value at about
$25, 000. The cost of the entire toilet
must have been immense. The wearer

it to-day, but no objection was interposed,
and the vote upon the question Of confrming
was taken by ayes and nays, and resulted,
ayes "a, nays 2, the negative votes being
cast by Democrats. This vote seemed to be
regarded as q test of the strength of the op-

of them beyond a demand for the ~roll-call

ination was about the same. Quite a number
of Senators on both sides abstained from
voting, and the few negative votes in each
instance were cast by Democrats. Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, voted for Evarts,
Sehurz and Key, remarking his vote for
Evarts was under what he regarded as
the instructions of his committee, the
Foreign Relations, which had instructed him
to report favorably. The nominations of

Richard ". Thompson to be Secretary of
the Navy, and Charles Devens to be At

roll call or even division.

Trade of Brasil.

There are $500 miles of railway in
operation in Brazil, to which will short
ly be added LOO miles more, to be built
by the Government. The Empire has a
population approaching twelve millions,
with a revenue larger than that of the
United States before the war, and its
foreign trade is $500, OOO, 900 annually.
England employs n hundred steam
ships in her trade with the Empire, while
the United States does not employ one.
E~ngland's imports to Brazil are more
than fifty per cent, while the United
States contributes only four per cent.
There is no doubt that the expectation
of American manufactures of all kinds
can be largely increased, as has been
demonstrated in a number of instances
where the manufacturers have taken the
proper steps to introduce their produc-
tons to the people of that country.
