The history OF the widely known house
Of Joseph Burnett & Co, of Boston, shows
a large and ilourishing industry, which
has grown from small beginnings. The
extensive business of this house, which
has extended to nearly every civilized
country in the world, had its origin in
wha. might be called an incident, or an
accident, some thirty years ago. At that
time Mr. Joseph Burnett, the founder of
the house, was doing large apotheoary
business on fremont street, opposite the
Boston Museum.
lady who had lived in France and
become accustomed 10 French methods Of
cookery, came into MIR. Burnett's store
one day and asked him if he could not
make decent havoring extract for her,
as she found those in common use abomi-
nable. She wanted an extract OF vanilla.
This was de, which pleased the lady
very much, and from this simple begin
ming has grown a business, one single
branch OF which now consumes one
fourth the entire Mexican product, which
is the only recognized best quality Of
vanilla in the world.
II may be- here remarked that an ex-
tract of the tonka, or "Snutf Bean" is
though the flavor of the torka is no
more to be compared with the vanilla
than burdock is to rose. Some 50
persons are now directly employed by this
concern in the varied work OF bottling,
labelling packing and boxing their
various havoring extracts and toilet
preparations, all Of which are of an
altogether superior nature.

IN the Burnett preparations are Of the
very best. The spirits used are made
specially for their use, and are the purest
product Of the still that can be produced.
1t is Mr.. Burnett's pride to feel that he is
giving no inferior article to the confiding
public who patronize him, He has asso.
eiated with him in his business two of his
cons, whom lie has brought up in the
way of fair dealing, and the spirit Of
pride in the production OF superior goods
which he has made the system OF his life,
and they will no doubt continue the bus

not be in few years, for Mr.. Burnett is a

time.

A long, low murmnr, like summer rain,

The low moons level wake across the waves

In silver breasted hillocls, shadow caves
And unduating whirls, that heat the eyes

And soft sea blooms from Southern coves and
Lifting their dripping bosoms from the

To gaze upon the moonlit world awhile
And beeken us with many n nod and smile.
And there are voices from the sea-chafed

In slippery clefrs and hollows water worn,
Where pnpy alge trail their Shiny locks,
Strange liquid tones as of Triton's born,
blown gnrsiing through green shallows, clear

Soft laughter, and the plash of curved palms;

THE WHIRLPOOL.

A frown that is crafty and deep?
Y ct it's here in the blast of the hurricanes

That the soul-laden ships find doom;
To the musical moan of this circle of death
Do they pass to their fathomless tomb.

Age in its gloom,

Ofihe maiden tod y who is learning TO love,
