Increased NOtOriety,

DR.. Il. Y. FIERCE, having acquired a
reputation in the treatment Of Chronic
Diseases resulting in a professional bus
mess far exceeding his individual abili-
ty to conduct, some years ago induced
several medical gentlemen to associate
themselves with him, as the Faculty of
the Worlds Dispensary, the Consulting
Department of what has since been
merged with the Invalds' Hotel. The
organization has now been completed
and incorporated under statute enact
ment by the Legislature of the State of
New York, under the name and style Of
the WORLDS DIsPENsARY MEDICAL AS
ISOLATION"
We clip the following from the Buffalo
Express.
a branch Of tho "World'S Dlspensarv
Medical Association" is to be establish
ed in Dondon, Eng, a step which the
continually increasing European bust
ness of the Dispensary has been found
to warrant, and next week DR.. B. r.
BEDoRTHA will sail for the great metrop-
Oils named, to superintend the organi-
cation of the new institution. This gen.
tleman has been for some four years
associated with DR.. PIERCE in a position
of responsibility, and is well qualified
for the duty now entrusted to him.
Heretofore the foreign business of the
Worlds Dispensary has been transact
ed through the agency Of prominent
druggists, but it has assumed such pro-
portions as to require more direct care.
DR.. BEDORTHA will no doubt successfully
carry out his mission, being a gentle
man Of excellent business abilities and
most pleasing address.

We boys around the vestry waited
To see the girls come hitting past,
Like snow birds willing 10 be mated.

We let the old folks take the highway.
And started toward the Maple Farm,
Along kind Of lovers byway.

Twas nothing worth a song or story,
Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed in glory.

Oh, ecul ptor, ii you could but mould i'll

TO have her with me-there alone
Twas love and fear and triumph blended
At last we reached the ioOt-worn stone
Where the delicious journey ended;
The old folks, too were almost home:
Her dimpled hand the catches fingered;
We heard the voices nearer come,
Yet on the doorstep still we fingered
She shook her ringels from her hood,
And with "thauk you Charles" dissemblei,
But yet | knew she understood
With what a darling wish trembled.
A cloud passed kindly overhead;
Che moon was kindly peepng through 1t,
Yet hid It's face. as If IL said.

Ny lips till then had only known
Tire kiss of mother aud of sister,
But somehow, full upon her own

Perhaps twas boyish love yet still,
oh, llstless woman, weary lover,
To feel once more that fresh wild thrill,
