This is from the Burlington Ha,okeye:
This is the time OF the year to travel and
talk with cold. My cold is very OBJ.

think, or rather my friends are holding it
in check for me. I paid but little atten-
tion to it at first, but as the cough in
creased i'll severity and the hoarseness be-
came worse, Mrs.: Clemments gave me
bryonia and phosphorus; the day follow
ing I went to Middlet,wr, and good Mrs.
Brown gave me boneset syrup; then, on
advice Of q travelling friend, i took to
horehOund and licorice, but On reaching
Erie Mr.. Thornton changed my treatment
and prescribed chloride of potash lozen-
gers. 1next sent for regularly ordain.

pills and box.of tablets and receipt
for two dollars. :. That evening old Mfe.
Bryan sent me no tie of caEbolic acid
and Mr.. Gregory sent me carbolic tube.
!, inhaled the bottle aud swallowed the
tube, and; experienced great relief. then
resolved to refuse any further. treatment
but Mrs. Dawson persuaded me with q
very harmless and rather pleasant pre,
paration of glycerine and sugar, and at
night still further submitted to cold
water compress. The next day a woman
gave mesa dose Of medicine in street,
and I mu1ched troches all the rest of the
day. !. and declared j would try NO more
prescriptions. That very night was

Wishing and Having.

II to wish and to have were one, my dear,
You would be sitting now
With nota care in your tender heart.
Not wrinkle upon your brow,
The clock OF time would 20 back; with you
All the years you have Deen my wife,
Till its golden hands had pointed out
The happiest hours Of yourlife:
l would stop them at that immortal hour;
The ~loek should no longer:run;
You could not be sad and sick and old
If to wish and to have were one.
Yo% are not here in the winter, my love, J,
The snow is not whirling down;
You are In the heart of the summer woods,
In your dear old seaside town:
A patter OF little feet IN the leaves.
A oeaut full boy at your side;
he Is gathering flowers in the shady nooks-
IT was but dream that he died!
Keep hold Of his hand and sing to him:
NJ mother under the sun
Has such seraphic child as yours
Ii to wish and to have were one.
Methinks I am with y u there. dear wife
In that old house by the sea;
have Town toyou as the hluebirds flies
To bis mate Ia the poplar tree
sailors hammock hangs at the door,
You swing in it, book in hand;

It's Keel CRATES on the sand:
Yonr brothers are coming Two manly men,
Whose lives haYe only begun:
Their days will he long in the land, dear heart
II TO wish aud to have were one.
II to wish and to have were one, ah, me!
would not be old aud poor,
But young and prosperous gentleman,
With never dun at the door:
There would be no past to hewail, my love,
There would be M future to dread:
Your broth RS should be live men again,
And your brothers would not be dead.
Perhaps it. will all come right at last;
1t NAV be, when all is done
We shall be together in some good world,
Where to wish and TO have are one.

he not appeared upon the scene. as in
mose encounters, there was woman in
it, that is, hensparrow, who stood out
side at short distance waiting the result
o. the COMBAT, read to fly away with the
successful bird. They paid no attention
to the N. r. until he was just about to
step over them, when they separated and
flew away, the hen accompanying the
one that was on top. He evidently had
his rival foul, and was pecking his head
with much Vigor. the punishment must
have been severe, for the orc underneath
sent forth the most piteous cries, and
was apparently unable to help himself
When released, however, he showed .hut
he was still game by :,ursuing the pair
as far and as fast as his remaining
strength would permit. He soon gave
up the chase, however, and lit upon the
limb of a neighboripg tree, where the
reporter left him. panting for breath, and
smoothing out his rutfled feathers.
