Poisoned Sugar.

In the New Orleans Democrat of
the 18th INST, is avery able and in.
teresting article on the subject of
adulterated sugar. 1t seems that
the investigation set afoot by the
Committee of Ways and Means at
the last session of Congress, has led
to a disclosure of nm almost univer-
sal system of fraud in the adultera-
ton of sugar, which for pure and
unmitigated wickedness, has scarce
" parallel in any of the sensa-
tional crimes of the day. Samples
from the different re6neries in New
York have been analysed, and in
every instance they have been found
to contain more or less glucose and
other adulterations, all of them of u
poisonous nature. The New York
Tribune publishes table of forty
five analyses of samples from differ
emit re6neries, some of which show
as much as 6 per cent. of water and
Is per cent. of impurities. These
impurities consist in the main Of
glucose, substance made from
starch, and even from rags, and
muriate of tin, or tin dissolved il
nuriatic acid. The glucose is, used
to give it body and weight, and the
tin poison to improve the color
Syrups are also adulterated will

syrup, from one Of the largest re

syrup. Still another sample hat

HYMENIAL CALCULATIONS.
DEDICATED TO HARDY H. SMITH
AND BRIDE.
By LEWIS r FEATHERsTUN.

Life with you now is shining weather;
Your beaming hearts pulsate together.
No sombre clouds above you floating.
Nor ugly phantom checks your doting.
No scathing glance-the scion of sorrow-
Nor CALLING wcrds-the blossoms of
horror.
At break of day, with cloudless heaven,
The fancy claims shining leaven;
But clouds remote, by tempests driven,
Alas! anon, our hopes have riven.
Thus wedding days-those sweet liba-
tons
Are often gates to stern riHations.
The lovely bride may prove vixen,
:. 70 anger you, despite your fixin';
The manly groom may prove devil
Turn from his wife to hellish revel;
Despise her love. her sacred plightings,
And fume her with internal blighhngs.
But this is Hymen's blasted vision;
For ysu we hold adverse decision.
No vixen growl, nor hellish laving.
Shall effervesce in your behaving.
Now, guard yourselves against forgetting
The CHASTITY forms for aye besetting.
Our life's course of undulation
And universal RELOCATION.
No easy berths upon this ocean
| Each SON If man must bear his portion
Nor fairy heights are we ascending,
While others to the oars are bending.
wrestle and pray for Gods encomium;
Despise the praise of pandemonium;
Send from your fuse bright reflection
And win blissful resurrection.
