Origin OF the PansY.

This modest little flower, one of the
favorites of the florist, that dons the
purple almost unaware, has very appro-
priately been called the Cinderella of
the sisterhood. Lilies may wave and
smile in their stately grace, roses beckon
by their flame and fragrance; but 'them
flowers that have faces"-pansies for
thoughts-are the admiration of the
country.
From the humble heart's-ease, or
three-colored violet, has sprung up one
of the most popular flowers known in
Horticulture. Half century ago there
hourished, on bank of the Thames, O
lovely garden; the owner of it, seeing
the interest his daughter manifested in
the work, gave here share of the grounds
for her own. One of the heart-shaped
flower beds this lady of the Thames
filed with pansies, wisely selecting the
choicest plants from other parts of the
garden for her especial culture.
Soon this little mound of the purple
heart began to attract the attention of
professional florists, and the pansy, no
longer an humble forget.me not, bios
somed into royal favor. No flowers
are more companionable and life-like,
and none perform their part more
worthily in work of floral ministration.
It's simple legend, You occupy my
thoughts, is one of the most beautiful
testimonials of love or friendship in the
language of flowers.
While in Europe Professor Silliman
called on Madame Agassiz, the mother
of the great naturalist. His account of
the brief interview closes with this
touching incident:
"She was grieved when she learned
that our stay was very brief. and would
hardly be denied that we should become
guests at her house, or at least that the
senior of the party should accept her
hospitality. The next morning she
came walking alone, long distance in
the rain, to bid us farewell, and we
parted, evidently with deep emotion
and not concealed, for we had brought
the image of her favorite son near to
her mental vision again. She brought
for MIR. Silliman a little bouquet of
pansies, and bid us tell her son her
pensees were all for him I"
Thus our thoughts go forth in mes
sages of love and gratitude through the
heart-reaching dialect of flowers.

articles Of merchandise by means Of
the popular contrivance which shields
them as with armor before and behind,
and hides ali but their heads and fee
from the vulgar gaze.
There are many suggestions of low
London about Cherry Hill, especially
at night, when a muffled sound comes
from the alleyy, an occasional footstep
clatters on q creaking stair, distant
doors bang, greasy streams trickle here
and there into the gutter, and the sound
of clicking glasses and drunken mirth
rises from the dismal bar-rooms. The
whole district is doubtless destined to
be rebuilt before great many years.
The success which has attended the
speculation in improved tenement
houses, it is thought, means death to
these rookeries, which year by year be-
come more unfit forhuman habitation.

THE ONE GREAT MEDICINE.

without doubt there are now and have been for
years past several medicines OF remarkable merit
before the puhlic-medicines which have been used
n very many cases with excellent success. Tne
Of thesowil readily recur to-our readers ana
thoy are the names of preparations whose worth lot
certain purposes one is disposed to dcny. but
we fully Justified, by undeniable and notorious
facts in saying, and do unhesitatingly say That
the one great medicine of the present daythe meoi-
cine we mean which now stands pro-eminent above
all others-is the famous VEoErINE Of Mr.. II. H.
Stevens of Boston. Some OF the undeniabe facts
respecting this famous medicine are theses
First. II is astonishngly efficient in really curing
the various diseases Tor which IL is especially COM
pounded and intended.
Second IL acts with a celebrity which is generally
very surprising single bottle has often either
cured the userof serious difficulty or brought about
most agreeable change, while very few bottles
have in thousands of instances effected the complete
cure Of longstanding disease which had previously
batlled tho skill of the best physicians.
Third II acts directly upon the blood OF which Il
Is the only powerful aud thorough purifier
Fourth. The testimonials in support # these facts
and the extraordinary worth of this medicine are
from well known and most respectable en- and
women, and in many instances from persons holding
the highest social positions They are not certificates
from unknown and irresponsible indivduaH. We
oursolves know the very high estimation in which
NEGEuNE is held in Of the best families In the
city.
There is, in short and can be no doubt or mistake
whatever about the Unprecedented and surprising
efficacy value and success OF the VEoETINE. As q
purifier of the blood and quick renoyator and in
vgorator of the human systom, physical and mental
no medicine rs Is now generally conceded. has ever
been devised aud compounded ut all equal 70 IL; and
"A speedy and thorough cure for such complaints as
catarrh coughs stomachic weakness andfaininess,
loss OF appetite Dyspepsia cankerous humors, scrof-
ula rheumatism. kidney and some other equally
serious complaints, NEGErINE altogether surpasses
any and oil other known medicinal preparations
The rapidity with which this great medicine has won
its way into all parts Of this country and various
ioron ones since its discovery and introduction. not
many years ago, ia something alike surprising and
onarmatory of its intrinsic excellence.-Proyidenee

Of water is very hot everywhere below

no large tody of paying orc has been
found below that level. At this time
combined efforts are pushing explora-

Of quartz are met in the dark porphyry,
giving hopes. But the stock market is
set back by the new theory Of expert
James Delavan, viz; "No bonanzas
will be found where the water has so
high temperature, and all boring is
money thrown away" Scientific reasons
are given. Two of the mines have
reached 1900 feet in confirmation of
this theory, and the bottom has dropped
