Another Case of Consumption Cured by
DIR. SCHENCK'S MEDICINES.

DIR. j. 81. SCHENCK:
Dear Sir-I write this to give you an account of
the cure of my mother by your medicines Six years
ago, from the effects of heavy cold, she was re-
duced very low with Consumption, and was pro-
nounced incurable by her physician. She had a
terrible cough, and some of her coughing spells
would last so long that she would turn black in the
face and often raise much pint of blood at a
time. When she was first taken sick she was quite
stout, but from the loss of blood by hemorrhages,
and loss of sleep, she at last reduced to almost
skeleton. While in this terrible condition, hap
pened TO read your advertisement in an Oswego, N
Y, paper, where we were living at this time. The
statements of those who had used your medicines
seemed so candid and reasonable that we concluded
to give them trial, and 1 truly say that by
coming to this conclusion my mothers life was saved
from a Consumptiye's grave. She commenced by
using all your remedies, directed by you and we
soon saw marked improvement in all her symp-
toms. In conclusion will say, that she continued
their use until she entirely well, reganing her
former weight and strength.
Yours, Respectfully,
BENZ. TIFFANY.

From Chambers journal. ]

IRON CnamDer'S journal.
Italian Majolica is earthen ware, which,
after firing, has been covered with a thin
coating of white earth, and then enamel
ed with "a composition of the oxides of
tin and lead. The whiteness and hard
ness Of the surface are proportionate to
the increased quantity of the former in
gredient, and the inferior description of
ware, or maeSzo naajolica, is glazed with
lead oxide alone. This Opaque metallic
varnish imparts to the ware that pearly
luster, whose secret, believed to have
been learned by the italian potters from
the Moors of Spain, Bernard Palsy
spent life and fortune in trying to dis
cover. Porcelain, on the other hand,
originally composed of finer clay, owes
its texture to thin coating of true glass,
evenly formed over its surface under ex-
posure to very high temperature, by
which its substance is partially vitrifed
throughout. But porcelain and earthen-
ware, while differing in the composition
of their surface enamel, resemble each
other In that they receive it in the stage
technically known as &c biscuit" after
having undergone the fist firing.
Plunged then into a solution of the glaze
constituents, these substances form a
white efervescence over the porous clay,
after it has absorbed the fluid in which
it was dissolved. The process is finally
completed by the second baking i'll the
glazing kilIls and the fusion into thin
crust of enamel, of the elements deposit
ed on its surface.

AT LAST.
BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

When on my day of life the night is falling,
And in the winds from unsunned spaces ploWn,
/ hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who hast made my home of life SO pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay,
o Love divine Helper ever present,
Be Thou my strength and stay!
BE near me when all else is from me drifting.
Earth. sky, homes pictures, days of shade and
shine
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine
have but Thee, o Father! Let Thy spirit
Be with then to comfort and uphod
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if-my good and i'll unreckoned,
And both forgiven through Thy Astounding
grace
find myself by hands familiar beckoned,
Unto my fitting place:
Some humble door among Thy many mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving
cease,
And flows forever through heavens green expan-
sions
The river of Thy peace.
There from the music round about me stealing
fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find, at last, beneath Thy trees of healing,
The life for which long.
