Tho Barrister.s Retort.

"Wait moment" said the chief bar

you please. The barrister waited
for chance to retort, and it came
presently. When O'Grady was charg-

A PRELUDE.
In youth, beside tho lonely sea,
Voices and visions came TO Inc.


In youth, beside tho lonely sea,
Voices and visions came TO Inc.
Titania and hcr furtivc broods
Wcrc my familiars in tho woods.
From every flower that broke in flamo
Some half articulate whisper came.
In every wind felt the stir
VI some celestial messenger.
Later, amid the city's din
And toll and wealth and want and sin.
They followed me from street to street,
Tho dreams that made my boyhood sweet;
AS in the silence haunted glen,
So mid the crowded ways Of men.
Strange lights my Grant fancy led,
Strange watchers sat beside nv bed.
III fortune had no shafts for me
In this aerial company.
Now one by one the visions ny,
And ono by one the voices die.
Moro distantly tho accents ring,
More frequent the receding wing.
Full dark shall be the days in store,
When voice and vision come no morel

In Defense of the Weed.

Tho American silver weed OF tobac-
CO, IS an excellent defense against bad
air, being smoked in pipe, either by
itself or with nutmegs shred and rev
seeds mixed with it, especially if it be
nosed, for it cleanseth the air and
choaketh, suppresseth and disperseth
any venomous vapor. 1t hath singular
and contrary effects, it is good to warm
one being cold, and will cool one being
hot. All ages, all sexes, all constitu-
lions, young or old, men and women
the sanguine, the cholerick, the melan-
choly, the phlegmatick, take it without
any manifest inconvenience; it quench-
eth thirst, and yet will make one more
able and fit to drink; it abates hunger,
and yet will get one a good stomach;
it Is agreeable with mirth or sadness,
with feasting and with fasting; it will
make one rest that wants sleep, and
will keep one waking that is drowsie;
it hath an offensive smell to some, and
is moro desirable than any perfume to
others. That it is most excellent pres
ervation, both experience and reason do
teach.
1t corrects the air by fumigation, and
it avoids corrupt humors by salvation.
for when one takes it either by chew
ing it in the leaf, OF smoking it in the
pipe, the humors are drawn and brought
from all parts of the body to the stom-
ach, and from thence rising up to tho
mouth of the tobacconist, as to the
helmo of a sublimatory, arc avoided and
spitten out. - A Brief Treatise, f." 1865.

pulverizctl Cork.

Considerable use is now being made
of the newly introduced French article
to which the name of subirine has been
given. The substance consists of pull
verified cork of different degrees of fine
ness, known as impalpable. fine, medi-
um and coarse, the pulverization being
effected by very simple means, such as
a horizontal glindstone. Among these
tho medium powders have for some
time been employed in the French navy
and by various navigation companies
for painting tho sheet iron and parti-
tons of tho insides of vessels The effect
OF such coatings is said to be to consider
ably diminish tho conductibility of the
sheet iron and the vibrations so I'M
pleasant which arc produced rs soon as
tho sea becomes little rough. Another
use for these cork powders is in the
preparation of q substance called lie
CINE, which consists of the powder
mixed with fine plaster in the proper
ton of about 10 per cent. This liegine
composition is turned out in all shapes
and sizes and is stated to be specially
useful as protection alike from heat
or cold, or for partitions, roofs, lofts,
ceilings and coatings of all descrip-
tions; also rs packing for boilers, ice
houses, Conservatives, coverings for
wagons, steam pipes, and similar uses
in short, for tho large number of
cases where it is desirable to maintain
an equal temperature York Sun.

Revolution
I'm Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CorroLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the corn...o:,
shortening has been lard, or
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
!y from everything Of that kind.
To such people, CoTroLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE

with the food-imparts to it
tempting color, delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace Of greasiness remains
