have watched the use of the medicine now
known as "Swifts Syphilitic Specific" over fifty
years. and have heard of failure to cure when
slaves, between 1850 and 1855, as also did number
of nv neighbors, and in every that came within
my knowledge it effected cure. In 1885 George
Walker bought al auction sldve not warranted. After
the purchase 1t was discovered that he had had
Syphilis for twelve years. His head was without a
hair it.. He treated him with this remedy and
in four weeks he was sound and well, and in short
time he had as fine head of hair as ever owned
by a negro. He owned this slave many years, and
had any return of the disease, nor lost day
work.

the trammels of the classical grind-organ style,
of which Pope Is the representative, but those
trammels were not laws of our English prosody.
We might point out blemshes of the kind above
noted in the other measures employed by Mrs.
Bedford but time will not allow us to do so.
OF the general literary form of these poems we
will simply say that the matter of form has given
more or less trouble to all artists and Mrs. Bed
ford has not been less happy than many others.
We cannot close this review without referring
to the graceful little lyric under the title OF The
Wind" which we think the neatest little poem
in the volume. The measure seems to be ex-
actly suited to the thought and shows our author
TO be possessed of real lyrical power, suggesting
that in time she may probably rival the more
ambitious singers. We give these lines entire.
THE WIND.
Softly the evening breeze
Is coming now
Signing among the trees
Now quickly HES away,
Mid other scenes to play.
But whittier doth it go,
No tell;
Ger hills and streams we know
Through shady DELI
But where 1t nndeth rest
No one hath ever guessed.
1tmay be that tits lost
Mid waving corn:
Or where Aurora fair,
Awakes the morn
Where night and morning greet
Or earth and heaven meet
It's whispering tones are heard
Among the pines;
BY IL the leaves stirred,
And flowers, and vines:
And often we rejoice
To hear its merry voice.
But we can never find
Its dwelling place;
Nor with surveyors line
Its boundary trace
That 1t doth come and go
Is all the wisest know.

out of existence, and is totally
wasted. The money itself remains,
it has gone to China, perhaps, to
pay for years labor of the many men
who have been making fireworks, and
these have spent it for food and clothes,
while they have been at work but they
have nothing to show for their labor;
what has come in has gone out; and
so with those who earned the money
with which the fireworks were pur-
chased, and every person engaged in
the business of making and procuring
them. This is typical case, and there
are many Others of which this is type.
A person, family, or nation is wealthy
or poor as it saves or spends; and if we
will only look into the secret causes of
many cases of poverty which are Just
now causes of complaint, we shall find
there has been too much spending; and
on the contrary, those cases in which a
person or family stands in better cir
cumstances than before will be found to
have resulted from habit of saving.
Extravaganza is without excuse. There
is no true enjoyment in wasting any
thing, nor in squandering the proceeds
of former work in idleness; nor working
hard for a time, that an opportunity may
be secured of going on debauch. That
is a cynical and vicious, although old,
adage, "Let US eat and drink, for to-
morrow we die;" it is repeated in fewer
words in the modern, ga merry life and
short one." The true philosophy is
to use our time and our opportunities
that we may increase the true happiness
of not only ourselves, but of those about
us, and that we may leave the world,
when we have done with it, better off
than it was when we entered it and in
herited the fruits of the labor of others
who had preceded US in the same virtu-
Gus efforts. And this can only be
effected by industry and well regulated
economy which is neither niggardliness
nor wastefulness.-Ru NelO Yorker.
