Wild Weather Outside.

Wild weather outside where the brave ships go,
And fierce from all quarters the four winds blow
Wild weather and cold, and the great waves swell,
With cbasms beneath them as black as hell
The waters frolc in Titan play,
They dash the decks with an icy spray,
The spent sails shiver, the 1.-THE masts reel,
And the sheeted ropes are as smooth as steel
And oh that the sailor were safe once more
Where the sweet wife smiles at the cottage door
The little cottage it shines afar
Ger the lurld seas like the polar star.
The mariner tossed in the jaws of death
Hurts at the storm defiant breath;
Shouts to his mates through the whiting foam,
Courage please God, we shall yet win home !"
Frozen and haggard and wan and gray,
Bat resoute still It's the sailors way.
And perhaps--a at the fancy the stern eyes dim
Somebody's praying to night for him.
All NE. through the drench of the bitter rain,
How bright the picture that rises plain
Sure he can see, with her merry lock,
His little maid grooming her spelling book;
The baby crows from the cradle fair;
The grandam mods in her easy chair;
While hither and yon. with quiet grace,
A woman fits. with an earnest face,
The kitten purrs, and the kettle sings
And a nameless comfort the picture brings,
Rough weather outside, but the winds of balm
Forever float DER this isle of calm.
o friends who read over tea and toast
OF the wild nights work on the storm swept coast
Think, when the vessels are overdue,
OF the perilous voyage the batlled crew,
OF stout hearts battling for love and home
Mid the cruel blasts and the curdng foam.
And breathe prayer from your happy lips
For those who must ''go to the sea in ships"
Ask that the sailor may stand once more
Where the sweet wife smiles in the cottage door.

THE SURGEONS KNIFE.
Wonderful Surgical Operation Removal of Vrln-
airy stones from the Bladder Successful.

Mr.. simeon Tietsell, Of Saugeries, \. Y, had
been treated for seven years by various physicians
for what they call structure Of the Urethra without
benefit. He finally consulted DIR. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, y. Y, who found his trouble to be
Urinary Calculi or stones in the Bladder. The doc
tor at once removed the foreign bodies with the
knife and then gave his great Blood specific, "Fav
orite Remedy" to prevent their reformation The
entire treatment was eminently successful, and Mr.
Tietscll's recovery was rapid and perfect.
While "Favorite Remedy" is a specific in all Kid
nev and Bladder diseases ii is equally valuable in
cases of Bilious Disorders, Constipation Of the
Bowels and all the class of ills apparently INSOFAR
able from the constitutions of women. Try it, Your
druggist has it, and its cost is only one dollar bot
tie The lucky man is he who puts this advice in
practice. Don't forget the name and address, Dr.
David Kennedy, Rondout, y. \. The Doctor would
have il understood that, while he is engaged in the

deny that the general impression was that
the success was purely conventional, and
that there is no chance OF the piece retain

A Revenue Tariff.


yv.a, sort OF n tariff would be ga tariff
a., revenue only"s II would be a tariff
levied wholly upon articles not grown or
made In this country; because then no
manufacturer would be paid ten or fifty or
sny other per cent. upon his manufactures
a. an unavoidable consequence OF the pay
mont Of tariff to the Government upon
such articles as he manufactures.
Is such tariff possible? Are there arti-
clos not grown or made in this country i'm
ported into IL in sufficient quantities to en-
able the Government to raise two hundred
millions Of dollars annually by leyying
tariff upon them! We should answer this
question decidedly in the negative.
As, however, tea and coffee are not pro-
duoed in the Upited States, perhaps the adj
vocstes Of "a TARIFF for revenue only" would
like 10 sec all the Governments revenue
derived from those two articles. But what
would the voters say!
sugar is an article produced in this corn-
try in comparatively small quantities. The
total duties upon sugars, molasses, &C., inn
ported into this country for the year end
ing June 80. 1851, was S47, 0S4,0S3, though
the total revenue from all articles OF every
description was only about 100000, 600.
Nearly one fourth Of all the duties paid
hy the people OF this country were paid by
the consumers Of sugar. The poor man
with large family pays more OF this tax
thar does WILLIAM II. VANDERBILT, or any
millionaire who has a small family. Ana
vet We suppose that the tarihupon sugar Is
more nearly "reycnuc tariff than that
upon almost any other article which i
grown or made in the United States.
Would our friend Of the Charleston NeirS
and Courier have Us advocate that SOFT OF Il
tariff for rcvenuc"y
Facts are stubborn things. 1t will doubt
less surprise some persons, not our con-
temporary aforesaid, TO learn that the peo-
plc OF this country pay more than twice as
.iar1c an amount in duties upon the single
article Of sugar as they pay upon all the
manufactures oil iron and steel combined
the total duties upon these latter articles
having been for the year aforesaid only

already, the total Of The duties collected

it is possible some unexpected develop

MonOpoIistS were elected in OppOSi-
ton to Republican candidates, and are
under no obligation to them. The

bined will constitute majority Of
the Legislature. In order to defeat the
regular Republicans the Democrats may
form coalition with the Anti-MonopoliStS
for the election OF senator on au' indie
pendent platform. In Colorado the Re
publicans will not have majority OF over
three votes, and many Democrats aver that
the final official count will make the Lcgis-
laturc tie. The bitter faction fight in the
| Republican organization may result in q

the Democratic Governor would make the
appointment. The Democrats are sure of
