stricta, and native to New South Wales,
contains large quantities of quinine, and
that it is tree which can be transplanted
and cultivated successfully in many parts
of the United States. If this be true,
and We have scientific authority for it, it
requires no great elasticity of imagina-
ton to anticipate the time when every
man can raise his own quinine and every
ague victim shall shake beneath his own
quinine tree. The price of that precious
drug shall then depreciate until even a
man in moderate circumstances can afford
to indulge in the chillS and fever,
while even the tramp upon the highway
can enjoy grand shake if he desire it,,
conscious that he shall find cure by rob
bing the next quinine orchard that comes
in his way.
Then he shall shake who never shook before,
And he who was Il shaker shake the more.

A UNtsULY 'EllUM III.

In the good old times, the clergy were
not required to- be highly educated; men
who could read might, by law, become
priests. On one occasion man who could
not read desired to be ordained, and he
took his place before his examiner, with o
copy of the Lords Prayer in his hand, and
a friend at his back. Prompter COM
menced whispering to him-Our Father
who art in heaven-"Our Father who art
in heaven he repeated in loud, conf
dent voice; the prompter continued-Hal-
lowed be thy name 'Hallowed be thy
name" His thumb was now over the next
sentence, and the prompter gently re-
quested him to take it away when '"Pake
away your thumb!" rang through the
room, and this was clearly illustrative Of
the learning of that time.

GREAT SHAKES.

Scattered at rare intervals over this
diversified country are communities
which are known as Shakers, in religion
Scattered at much more frequent points
are other extensive communities whose
members are shakers in practice, and
who do. shake with commendable regu-
laritt and. with an energy worthy of a
better cause. Most of these are those
unfortunate beings who, possessed of
that restless spirit which inspires man
continually to Ego West" are always
emigrating, always settling, and etegnally
shaking. The ague has marked them for
its own, and if there is any one thing of
which they are as sure as of death and
the tax collector it is the chil!s.
The medical fraternity has stretched
forth its healing hand and endeavored in
divers ways to alleviate the sufterings of
these shivering victims, but perhaps the
only remedy that has been universally
united upon is a drug derived from the
bark of the cinchona tree, and known to
medicine, commerce and Blockade rum
ners as quinine. Often in his agony has
the ague-stricken wretch beheld the
doctor with his quinine bottle, and Sc
riously debated in his mind whether
.'twere better to bear the shakes he had
than seek for relief in such bitter dose.
But "time at last sets all things even,
and by and by it came the doctors turn
to shake. They shook not from chills,
but through fear that their supply OF
quinine, which had never been equal to
the demand, was about to be cut off en-
tirely, and that the most formidable
weapon with which they. waged battle
against the terror of the West, was to be
wrenched from their grasp.
The cinclfona tree, from the bark Of
which quinine is produced, is indigenous
to the Andes of tropical South America
and so reckless have been the bark.
gatherers in their occupation that the
forests have been to great extent de.
stroyed, while the Governments seem tc
be powerless either to prevent or check
this destruction. Efforts have been re.
Gently made to cultivate the tree in Java
and other places of like climate, but
their success is as yet question of time,
and it is therefore quite probable that
late discoveries in Australia will be hailed
with pleasure by the medical profession
and their army of shakers. 1t has been
ascertained that the bitter-bark tree,
botanically known as the Alstonia Con-

had a vision in the dead Of night
When all vas still and lay calmly sleepingI
Istood upon a mountains dizzy height,
And with my eye the horizon wide was
sweeping.
And as gazed my sight grew wondrous clear,
And far-ofr objects plain as those most near.
Anon saw little ripping brook,
So small failing l1hf might turn its coursei
Its journey down the mountain side it took,
Increasing as it flowed in size and force,
And, graceful, meath the trees pursued Its
way,
Rejecting back to heaven the SUMS bright ray.
Onward it flowed through valley and ravine,
With other streams un't Ting here and there;
Ger plains and pastures, clothed in Living
green.
Each with her springs contributing sharo,
Till where the azure arch sautes the lea.
mighty river flowed into the sea-
Awake, pondered on the curious dream,
The strength Of unity so we'll displayed;
The thirsty earth might soon have drank the
stream
Bad not other sprang to lend its aid;
Each spring and brook flowed freely on Its
course,
Tet all united gained resistess force
