have watched you long, Avis


Watched you 80,
have found your secret out;


And know
That the restless ribboned things
Where your slope Of shoulder springs,
Are but undeveloped wings


That will grow.
When you enter in 4 room


II is stirred
with the wayward, flashing light


or bird;
And you speak and bring NTH you
Leaf and sun-ray, bud and blue,
And the wind-breath and the dew,


At word.
When you left me only now,


In that furred,
Puhed and feathered Polish dress,


was spurred
Just TO catch you, oh, my sweet,
BY the bodice trim and neat,
just TO feel your heart a-beat,


Like bird.
Yet, alas, loves light you deign


Bat to wear
As the dew upon the plumes,


And you care
Not a wit for rest or hush;
Bat the leaves, the lyric gusb,
And the wing power and the rush


OF the air.
SO dare not WOO you, sweet,


For day,
Lest love you In a fash,


As / may,
Did tell you tender things
You would shake your sudden wings
You would start from him who sings,


And away.

The readiest and most useful remedy
for scalds aud burns is an embrocation
of lime water and linseed oil. These
simple agents combined form thick,
cream like substance, which effectually
excludes the injured parts, and allays the
Inflammation almost instantly. A case
is recorded where child fell backward
into bath-tub of boiling water, and was
nearly faycd from her neck to below her
hips Her agonies were indeseribable !;
but her clothing being gently removed,
and the lime and oil preparation thickly
spread over the injured surface, she was
sound asleep in five minutes. Suisse
quently the parts were carefully washed
with warm milk aud water three times q
day, the oil dressing renewed. and the
little patient rapidly recovered. Though
all the scalded skin came off she did not
have a scar This remedy leaves no hard
coat to dry on the sores, but softens the
parts and aids nature to repair the injury
in the readest and most expeditions
manner. This mixture may be procured
in the drug stores. but ifnot thus access
ible slake lump of quicklimc in water,
and as soon as the water is clear mix 1t
with the oil and shake it well. II the case
is urgent pour boiling water over the
lime, and it will become clear in five min

The New York Herald, rejoicing at
the fact TINT the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties were equally balanced in
the late elections, says:


Neither party can afford to blunder in
SO critical q coniuncture. The increas-
ing body Of independent voters will de-
eide the contest when the scales hang so
even; and the necessity which each
party will be under Of bidding for their
support should incite each to put for
ward its best man md make such dec
laration Of principles ascitizens of sound
Judgment can approve. The next
Presidential election will not be sharp

country is nearly unanimous on every
topic which will be touched in heparty
platforms Of next year. The contest
will probably be decided by the personal
merits Of the candidates in point Of
ability, integrity, experience, public SER
vices and popular magnetism. It is for
tunate for tho country that neither party
can presume upon its strength and put
forward mischievous principles or vlll-
nerable candidate. The present equality
Of the two parties is tho most hopeful

1t seems but natural that the
less people know the more highly
they should prize it the difficulty
always is to get other people to es'
innate the knowledge at their value.
Thus we find agricultural papers
and intelligent agriculturists con-
tinually giving valuable informa
ton without seeming themselves to
knew how really valuable is the
matter they so freely spread; while
some fellow who thinks he has
found something puts on an air of
wisdom, enjoins secrecy, and tells
you that for some modest sum,
never less than thousands of dollars
he will make you q participant of
his wonderful knowledge.


Thus we often find one with
curculio remedy, a disease arrester,
or some extraordinary discovery
for the growth of trees. Very often
they succeed in getting commit
tee appointed to investigate the
matter. The members meet, are
sworn tie secrecy on the Holy Biblc
and go on with their great work.
And there it ends The pledge Of
secrecy prevents the world from en-
ioying the side-splitting jokes as
they doubtless would be if known i;
but enough generally leaks out to
let us know that curculio can be
killed if caught and crushed, that
disease can be arrested when it has
run its course, and that trees can
be made to grow well if manured
with that which is agreeable to
them. Now and then it is found
tdat corn cob will annihilate the
curculio; that an iron spike driven
into trunk will electrify the tree,
or that the full moon is better than
the heaviest coat of manure but
generally the knowledge is about
on par with that of the philoso-
pher, who after advertising that
for one dollar lie will tell how to
save ten dollars; performs his part
of the contract by assuring his
green young friend that the way to
save it is not to spend it,


Sometimes these very knowing
ones are not mercenary. The
glory cf the discovery is enough
for them. So they take pains that
the information shall flow in from
the very top, so that all below may
have the drops of wisdom fall on
them. In this way two French
gentlemen recently addressed a
letter TO the President ofthe United
States announcing the fact OF a
wonderful discovery of theirs, and
which they wished through him to
offer without one cent of fee or re-
ward to the people of the
United States. They are after the
Colorado potato beetle-and they


propose to Giscommode him by get


ting little guano and putting it in


a little lime water, making little


holes around the potato plants and
pouring little mixture into the
ground! We shall no doubt hear


before long of these intelligent


French gentlemen" addressing the


President of the United States an.


nouncing the discovery that birds


may be caught by placing " salt

| The only thing that We are sur


prised at is that these "French


gentlemen" should have expressed


themselves as willing to give thi;
| great knowledge to the American
people without reward. 1t is gen
Ierosity without a parallel, as VIZ

Mr.. Simpsons arguments on the bill to
compromise with the International Railroad
Company are unanswerable. Every position
taken was backed by the most complete
authority. and such authority, too, as no
legal mind can gainsay. His speech was
convincing as to the constitutionality of the
charter granted to the company, and re-
duces the question before the Legislature
to one as to the propriety of paying three
millions as compromise, or six millions
upon an adjudication before the highest
courts of the country. Mr.. Simpson has
met the questions fairly, without appealing
to prejudice. He has treated them as q
bold and fearless statesman, not skimming
upon the surface to catch popular favor,
but going to the very depths of reason to
prove that his positions are correct. This
gentleman lives in the far East, away from
any interested pressure on the part Of q
constituency in favor of the International
Railway. Were he in the West, he could
look forward, in consequence of his mas
terly position, to distinguished preferences;
and though he does not live there, his pure
craftsmanship will be as fully appreciated
by the people of his own section, whom it
will ever delight to do him honor.

The question of substituting silver coin
of flessdenomination than the dollar for the
fractional currency now in circulation is
attracting considerable attention, and sew
eral of our exchanges who have predicted
the failure of this important provision of the
finance bill now seem inclined to look upon
the measure as not only feasible, but one
which will add strength to the Administra-
ton by bringing the country nearer to a con-
dItion for the resumption Of specie pay
ments.


1t is contended by the opponents of the
measure that under the present condition of
the gold premium the silver coins, as fast
as issued, would disappear from circulation,
and that there Can be no prospect of the
silver circulation being retained, except
under the condition of gold remaining be-
low 10, and there will be strong motives
for bullion dealers and spectators to keep
the quetient above that figure. The causes
leading to the appreciation of the gold pre-
MUM have not been fairly considered by.
those who predict failure in the carrying
out of the finance bill Germany and
France have been the great arteries
into which our gold has been
swept for the last two years,
the first nation accumulating gold for coin
age, and the latter boarding it preparatory
to the resumption of specie payments. The
Bank of France, within the present year, has
increased its stock of bullion by about
100000. 900, mostly in god, and the
amount of specie now in that country is
believed to be greater than the total paper
money outstanding. The necessity for
boarding gold having ceased in France, and
everything pointing to the fact that the de-
mand for Germany will not be so great in
the future as it has been in the past, it nat
urally follows that the gold premium will
fall before the close of the present year, and
by that time the Government will have on
hand stock of coin sufficient to commence
the withdrawal of the fractional notes.


The amount of subsidiary silver coin now
in the Treasury and mints is about Sc, 0OO,-
0O9, and the additional purchases made
within the last month will bring it up by
the first of September next to about $9,-
900, 900. With gold at $1.13 3-5 and silver
at its present rate, 50! pence, the gold value
of dollar in fractional silver coin and
dollar greenback is about 88 LOO cents;
and as 1t would not pay to export silver at
50! pence, under gold premium of $1.15,
the Government can, if so minded, circu-
late IFS silver without fear of export, when
ever the gold premium shall have fallen to
$1.13 3-5; but the probabilities are that
still further decline in silver will take place
before the Government shall see fit to COM
mence the withdrawal Of the fractional
