simple Way OF Eradicating the CnsiShtiy
Excrescences.
The cause of warts, either on ami
mails or human beings, has not vet
been explained by any reputable ply
sicians. to the satisfaction of other
physicians. \ few may talk about inn
pure blood. and others of nervous af-
fections. but neither can give a lucid
explanation for the reason of their APP
pearance upon subjects apparently
healthy. or their disappearing, as they
sometimes do, without the use OF any
remedy. Some old women will guar
antee to cure them, or, as they say,
charm them away, for small sum,
often cent apiece, requiring the coin
paid to be touched to each one. and we
have known the price to be as low as
one pin for each wart, the pins re-
ceived to be carefully deposited where
no one could find them, lest the finder
should also find the warts. We men,
ton this as a "Reminiscences of super

They can be removed by tying silk
string around them SO tightly as to
cause strangulation, and dropping off
after a short time, or by burning with
caustic or acid, but unless very much
in the way we should prefer to let
them alone, as they often go away as
quickly, and without any more appar-
ent cause than they ca me.
But when thought necessary to re-
move them. it may be done by touching
the top of the wart with either of the
following articles: Spirits of turpen-
tine. caustic potash, lunar caustic or
nitrate of silver. Neither of these are
painful when applied only to the wart,
but would be more or less painful upon
the bare skin, and the two latter would
be apt to blister. therefore care should
be used in applying them not to touch
around the wart. or to get them on the
fingers. Two or three applications in
a week will usually prove sufficient.

Which are the hands we love the best.
Those that are folded between our own
Or those that move Us to strange unrest
BY featkery touch that is quickly flown
Which, lh. which, do we love the best,
Hands caressing, or hands carressed!
Which are the eyes we most adore,
Those rejecting our every thought
Or those whose glances our hearts tmplore,
Whose fire will neither be tanned nor taught
Which, ah which, are we most drawn toward
Eyes adoring, or eyes adored:
Which Is the heart OF hearts we prize,
That which sways with passionate power,
Or that which yields US q sacrifice
Gentle aad generous day and hour!
Which-of all do we hold above,

GEMS FROM THE POETS.
The River OF Life

The more we live. more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
day to childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth
Ere passion yet disorders.
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars. that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath,
And life itself is vapid.
Why. as We reach the falls Of death,
Feel we its tide more rapid:
1t may be strange-yet who would change
Times course 70 slower speeding.
When. one by one. our friends have gone
And left our bosorns bleeding:
Heaven gives our years fading strength
Indemnifying feetness;
And those of youth. 4 seeming length.

is universally admitted. This is the
best time of the year in which to pu-
rify the blood, to restore the lost APP
petite, and to build up the entire sys-
tenn, as the body is now peculiarly
susceptible to benefit from medicine.
The great popularity attained by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, owing to its real
merit and its remarkable success, has
established it as the very best medi-
cine to take in the spring. 1t cures

flee in such strong terms that in most
cases public officers are ineligible to

may expect rebellion that will jeop-
