Gentlemen: ri wish to congratulate y
GU on the success of your efforts to win
the confidence of the public in need of re
liable medicine.
The sun has just crossed the equator on
its yearly trip north. The real equator is
shifted toward the north nearly eighteen
miles every day. With the return of the
sun comes the bodily ills peculiar to spring.
With one person the nerves are weak; an
other person, digestion poor; with others
the blood is out of order; and still others
have depressed spirits and tired feeling.

TRIALS OF DIPLOMATS.

lean History.

lean History.
There exists a popular tendency to
overrate the delights and to underrate
the hardships of the diplomatic life,
but, however much opinions may differ
on this point, there can be no doubt
that the Office of an American diplo-
matist in the days of the Revolution
was no holiday pastime.
If he was not already in Europe, his
journey to his post was beset with per-
lis graver than those of the elements.
In the eyes of the British law, Ameri-
can revolutionists were simply ''reb-
els" the Reproduction of whose conduct
was likely to be proportionable to their
prominence and activity, and the seas
were secured by British cruisers, the
dreaded embodiment of England's mar
thine supremacy. Deane went abroad
before independence was declared, but
when his presence in France became
known the British Government asked
that he be seized and delivered up into
its custody. Franklin sailed for France
on small vessel of war belonging to
Congress, called the Reprisal. On the
way over she took two prizes, and
more than once, on deserving a suspi-
ciouS sail, cleared for action. Had she
been captured by the British, Franklin
would have had an opportunity to test
the truth of his remark to his asso-
ciates in Congress, that they must
"either hang together or hang separ-
ately." John Adams, on his first jour-
ney, took passage on an American yes
sci; on his second he embarked on the
French frigate Sensible and landed Mt
Ferrol, in Spain. Jay committed his
fate to the American man-of-war Con-
federacy. and, like Adams and Frank
lin. reached his destination.-Harp

The Lost oaIIeon.

Her decks are drowned in sea-wreck,
her guns are sunk in sand,
Where she lies in the still water, hard
by the Irish strand;
There are dead in her gilded cabins
there are white bones In her hold,
With the Golfers retting plank from
plank, trimming Ger with gold.
Broad o. the beam they built her, that
they might load her deep,
They sowed a goodly harvest for the
fierce salt seas to reap
They freighted her with merchandise,
with gold they weighted her well.
Ere they steered slowly to her bourne
their castled citadel.
God rest their souls where they lie low,
where she. swirled down of yore
With chanting priest and shrieking slave,
a stones throw from the shore!
Nor all their piled-up ingots, nor all their
gold could save
Under the cliff together, the Don and
the chained slave.
Far DER the gray-green waters goes
sound of gull and gale:
White caps are or the breakers and the
sun on a patched sail;
But she lies lost and mouldered, with
her captains swart and bold
Dead in her ghded cabins, and weighted
down with gold
