poating, as others are apparently incapable Of
anything but distributing smiles and kisses. To

TO soften down line or two and cut loose

You look to the future, on above,


only look to the past;
You are dreaming your first dream of love,
And have dreamed my last.
You watch for feet that are yet to tread
With yours on shining track;
hear but the echoes, dull and dread,


Of feet that come not back.
You are passing up the lowery slope


left SO long ago;
Your rainbows shine thro' the drops of hope,
And mine through the drops of woe.
Night glides in its visions sweet away,


And at morn you live them Ger;
From my dreams by night and by day,
have walked to dream no more.
You are reaching forth with spirit glad,
To the hopes that are still untried;

That have slipped from my arms and died.

On thy future may descend;

A PROTEST AGAINST EARLY RIsING-Dr.
Hall, in the February number of his Journal
of Health, says: lone of the very worst econ
omies of time is that flched from necessary
sleep. The wholesale but blind commend alton
of early rising is as mischievous in practice as
it is arrant in theory. Early rising is a crime
against tie noblest part of our physical nature,
unless it is preceded by an early retiring

never fails to be followed by want of general
well-feeling for several days after, if, indeed,
the man does not return home actually sick, or
so near it as to be unfit for full attention to
his business for week afterward. When a
man leaves home on business it is always i'm
portant that he should have his wits about him;
that the mind should be fresh and vigorous
the spirit lively, buoyant and cheerful. No
man can say it is thus with him after a night
on a railroad or the shelf Of steam boat. The
first great recipe for sound, connected, and re-
freshing sleep is physical exercise. Toll is the
price Of sleep. We caution parents particu-
larly not to allow their children to be walked

A CURIOUS SURGICAL CAsE.-A rare instance of
perfect recovery from desperate wound was
brought few days ago under the notice of the
Academy of Medicine by DR.. Larrey, who at the
same time presented TO that body an American, M.
Preterre, to whose mechanical skill the attainment
of full result was due At the battle of Magenta
a sergeant of the s5th of the Line was struck by
musket ball, which, after completely shattering the
lower jaw, came out behind from under the skull
close to the cervical vertebra, which, had they
been injured, would have rendered the case hope
less. 1t is hardly credible that so extensive an in
jury, inflicted in such an important region of the
human frame, could have admitted of cure, and it
reflects high credit on the army surgeons who at
tended him. To restore the powers of masticaton
by mechanical means, NJ. Preterre was called in,
and succeeded in his task by an ingenious contri-
vance, which has been greatly admired by the first
surgeons in Paris.

In one of the market houses of Philadelphia
is genius of a butcher. Beneath his sleeves
and apron he wears the costliest broad cloth,
none of the inferior grades, but the finest pro-
duction of French looms. His linen is as
faultless as his exterior garments, while the
glistening surface of his marble counters is no
less striking than the glossness of his hat and
boots. In the centre of his shirt bosom spar
kles q single diamond stone of six Carats
weight, and of the first water. Upon the little
finger of his left hand glitters circlet of dia-
monds, six in mber, whose aggregate value
is considerably more than that Of the garniture
of his shirt bosom. His complexion is a clear
red and white-just that style OF complexion
which Partisan ladies produce by dainty COM
mixture of carmine and bismuth. He is man
of fine physique, and has an ayoirdupois of "a
bout 200 pounds. His address is polished and
his manners courtly and suave. He commen-
ced life without dollar, and is now taxed for
some $50, 900 in real estate, yet is as polite
and deferential to his customers as on the day
he first embarked in the business of convert
ing quarters of beef into chops and sirIoins.
A benevolent lady of large fortune first noti-
ced him, and placed at his disposal fund up
on which he raised the superstructure Of his
present fortune. He is now rapidly advancing
in wealth, and will probably retire upon the
eighth of a million. And all through the in

When the storms shall toss your fragile DARK,
And threatening waves around you roar
When clou ds are lowering wild and dark,
And distant lies the friendly shore,


Then, look aloft
When the fearful shipwreck threatens most,
And not harbor you can find;
But all along the rock bound coast
Wild beats the sea, loud means the wind,


Oh, look aloft'
No star of hope may beam above,
No beacon shines upon your way;
Your compass may unfaithful prove,
Your ship no more her helm obey,


Yet, look aloft.
Above the clouds there is an eye,
To watch your course, their gloom can pierce;
And though the tempest RACES high,
voice can quell its anger fierce


Then, look aloft.
Oh fear not Christian Sailor, fear
Nor storm, nor wave. nor rock bound shore
Launch boldly forth, He will be near,
And faith shall guide you safely Ger

Mr.. EDITOR: Thanks to the pro-

that one ede6ce has been erected in


Lambertville sufficiently high, from

would have believed four years ago,


when the handsome plot North of

ket, that the street, and the only street
COMMUNICATING with it would have re-
NAMED closed up to this time. The
wonder is that the sharp-aighted bust
ness doing citizens of the town have
not before this seen, that aside from
the improvement and beautifying of
the place, by opening the street
and thereby encourage the building of
handsome residences, they have d.
rect pecuniary interest at stake. If
ten, twenty, or fifty thousand dollars
of capital is induced here by this or
any kindred Improvement, is it not
plain that the tax fund upon snch in

that have been made in the North end

home to be comfortable, as the elder
