WHOLLY WOMAN.

Eelleve me, dear, unyielding though 1 be,
Ambitions flourish only in the sun—

In noisy daylight every rate is run, »~
With Iustry pride for all the world to see.
When darkness sinks thfhlrth in mystery,
When eye or car or sight or sound is none,
But death, a tide that waits to hear us on,
And life, a loosening anchor in the sea,
When time and space are huge about the soul,
And ties of custom lost beyond recall,
And courage as a garment in the flame,

_ Then all my spirit breaks without control,
Then the heart opens. the; the hot tears fall
To prove me wholly woman that I am.

--Dora Read Goodale.

THE HOTEL DETECTIVE.

How He Thrives on the Vices and Weak-
nesses of Country Visitors.

One of the nuisances about the hotels 02
New York is the hotel detective. With one
or two exceptions he is considerably worse
than the average private detective. 0n ac-
count of being connected with the hotel he
has great facilities for making money in a
doubtful sort of way. I heard a story of one
of these fellows who had just been discharged,
and it convinced me that the hotel detective
can be a very dangerous person to deal with
if he is devoid of principle. Being connected
with the hotel he naturally learns all about
the busine- of the guests, and has little diffi-
culty in getting acquainted with them.

There is hardly an officer of the hotels who
makes so much money as these detectives.
Outside of their dutia in looking out for the
affairs of the hotels, they are allowed to act
as guides in showing guest the dark ways of
city life. Nearly every night a party of gene
tlemen get together who are desirous of see
ing the city by gaslight and they engage the
detective to pilot them about. For this he
is paid very liberally by the gentlemen, and
he is also paid something by the owners of
the places where he takes them. This, of
course, is a part of his businen, but it gives
him an opportunity to levy blackmail should
he see fit. I know one detective who escorted
a very nice old gentleman, who is one of the
largest drygoods merchants in a prosperous
southern city, to the Arion ball a few months
ago. The old gentleman went simply out of
curiosity. At home he '3 very pious, and
is the superintendent of a Sunday school. In
fact, he is considered a fanatic on religion.

After getting to the ball he was persuaded
by the detective to drink a little wine. Not
being used to it, it went to his head, and the
old man possibly did one or two silly things.
particularly for a Sunday school superin-
tendent. On his way home he remarked to
the detective that he would not have any
one in his town know that he went to the ball
for $1,000. Only a short time after his re-
turn home he got a mmge from the detec-
tive asking for the loan of $500. It was also
intimated to him that ' should the request be
refused an account of his conduct at the ball
would be made public at his home. The mer-
chant was weak enough to send his check for
$500. This detective has been guilty of a
number of similar things which were nothing
short of blackmail—New York Cor. Rich-
mond Dispatch. -

A TREE MAN TALKS.

SHADE TREES MAY BE PLANTED,
EVEN IF 10 YEARS OLD.

 

How the Work is Successfully Accom-
plished by a Chicago Man—Difficulties
Which Modern Skill Has Overcome-
Plantlng a Big Tree.

Said Mr. Peterson, a well known tree man,
the other day: “I hardly know howto inr-
prcs upon you some idea of the tree business.
The fire of 1871 swept away everything in the
way of city trees, and especially on the north
side, where tree culture in the residence streets
had been studied and developed. The beauti-
ful lirldens, elms, catalpas and all, then in their

first and best vigor, went down in a second. .

Pcmession of trees and shade is something
of a luxury, but what a luxury a shade tree
isl The popular idea is that a tree must have
been planted a good many years before it will
throw out a leaf. That is nonsense. Any
tree man will plant shade trees all the way
up to 10 years old, and guarantee their
growth and shade. Give me ten square feet
of ground and I will plant you a venerable
monarch of the forest.” '

'Hris is not the popularly accepted idea,
which is that trees grow from slips and
sprouts and require years of patience. But
the nurseryman told of his “Lincoln tree,”
which he planted on his own grounds in 1865
——the day Lincoln's body was in state at
Bryan hall. Mr. Peterson said: “It was a
big tree then—a great one. It was seventy-
five feet high and three feet in diameter.
Thetree is now a giant. It is an ohn, and
it: shade covers nearly half an acre.” Mr.
Peterson has planted a lot of memorial trees
on his grounds. He has two Garfield trees,
one each for Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan,
and when Grant visited Chicago last be
planted two other monarchs, which are now
in full and majestic growth.

The popular idea is that trees must be mere
sprouts when put ill the ground. Many peo-
ple are deterred from arbor culture because
they think that life is too short to see a tree
grow. Modern skill has ' overcome all that
difficulty. Petersonis but one of a dozen of
hisclasswho can transplant a tree adozen
years old. Said another arbor culturist at
the South park:

“Trees depend largely upon those who
plant ’em. It would be silly to suppose that
at this late day we are going to wait for the
tree to grow in its own soil. Some of us who
are 40 or thereabouts are not going to plant a
prairie with sprouts. We can put down
maples—the soft variety—the most beautiful
shade tree in the world, already four inches
in diameter, for $2. There is no shade tree
like the maple, unless it be the English wal-
nut, and that grows best in southern Califor-
nia. But of the trees best suited here are the
linden, ash, box elder and all the varieties‘of
maple; then the great sycamore. There are
scores of varieties of these, and the student of
arbor culture' is stumped at once in his selec-
tions. But the silver leaf maple is the finest
shade tree of this climate.

THE FASTEST GROWING TREE.

The eucalyptus is the fastest growing tree
that ever implanted itself on American soil.
It would probably grow in Florida or Louisi-
ana, or perhaps in Texas. It would not grow
at all about Chicago or anywhere in lake lat-
itudes. But in California all one has to do is
to cut a sprout, stick it in the ground and in
two weeks he will see that the thing is under
way. When it is said truthfully that in three
years twelve cords of wood can be cut from
that sprout, some idea can be formed of the
Australian “blue gum" and its growth. But
none of these trees are fitted for the climate
here and it is uselem to speak of them. The
great shade trees of this region are the elm
and the maple.”

“It is exactly eleven years ago,” said Mr.
Peterson, “that I planted what I called the
centennial elm in Washington park. It was

‘ donein February, 1876. This elm was more
than 100 yogurt! old, three feet in diameter at
the base, nearly. sixty feet in height, of sym-
metrical proportions, having a ball of earth
twelve feet in diameter, the whole weighing
upward of twenty tons, and was removed
from its native forest, requiring twenty
horses for its cartage." That merely shows
what can be done. In Chicago the trees
which seek rootage along the sidewalks are
of the har-dier kinds. They come at all ages.
Those who pay most get the best and oldest.
The elms are sometimes seven years old when
transplanted. All come with a huge ball of
earth—their native soil—a cavity is dug, the
tree is put in and guged, and in the spring-
time the buds and blossoms follow as if no
disturbance had been had.

“How do you plant these big trees, and
when?” was asked of one man who knew his
business. “The popular idea is that autumn
is the time," remarked his questioner.

“That is nonsense,” replied the tree man
“It makes no difference when. All we DON
isabigholetoputthetreein,abig team to
draw it and a big price for the tree.”

“And what is that price?” was asked.

“All the way from $10 to $50—dependlng
upon the long haul or short haul—you see?”

The tree man was inclined to joke, but as a
matter of fact he and his kind plant trees and
make them grow, all along the stréets and
boulevards, for a great deal less money. Most
of them are put down in their full maturity.

They come with great balls of earth and are
gently let into excavations and the upper
surface sodded. All that is needed then is
plenty of water.

The tree man continued: “The trees are
watered by letting down a barrel with two
holes in the bottom. Fill this barrel with
water and let it gradually seep through into
the ground. The tree’s roots, and. especially
the young ones, are sure to find it. Every-
body ought to plant a tree or two, especially
if he owns a foot or two of ground to plant
them on. A maple of four inches in diame-
ter can be planted at a cost of 82. There isn’t
a tree in the whole category that cannot be
got for 81, more or less. Therefore there is
no excuse for anybody that may own an acre
of ground not to put some trees upon it.”—
Chicago Tribune.

How to Trim Them.

“Aw, Ethel," remarked Charley to his
pretty cousin, “I believe—aw—I'll have . the
barbah—aw trim my whiskers this mawning
'—'aw.”

“Do, Charley,” said his pretty cousin.

“And—aw—Ethel, how would you suggest
that I have them trimmed?”

“Well,” replied the pretty cousin, after suill-
clent consideration, “I think they would look
very sweet trimmed with pink ribbon.”—
Harper’s Bazar.

Bed Quilts in Variety. _

In a. will proved in surrogate’s court,
Kingston, lately, a large variety of bed quilts
were devised to a member of a family.
Among the quilts enumerated were a “beggar
quilt,” a “nine block quilt,” a “sixteen block
quilt,” a “long cabin quilt,” a “red and white
starquilt,” a “brick red quilt,” ulrd a “blue
and white old fashioned coverlid.”—Killgsmn

A CIRCUS GREEN ROOM.

TENT LIFE AS IT EXISTS BEHIND
THE RED CURTAIN.

 

Motley and Cosmopolitan Array in the
Dressing Rooms—Indian Performers
Who Are Too Much in Earnest—Eur-
ployes of u Circus.

The performers sitting around upon their
trunks, dressing, are a cosmopolitan lot.
Native Americans, Yankees, wild westerners,
Mexicans, Indian half breeds, Germans, West
Indians, South Americans, English, Scotch,
Irish, and representatives from all the nations
of contincntai Europe, excepting only Russia
and Turkey. How they manage to live
together ill peace and harmony is more than
one can quite understand, but quarrels are
rare among them. They are great boosters,
however, these circus performers, and often
engage in friendly contests of skill or strength
to back up their pretensions, and even as we
100k a veteran of the ring is showing his com-

panions how he used to balance himself while ‘ V

standing on his head in midalr. Many of
these men are all round performers. Athletes
while young, advancing years and failing
strength of suppleness have compelled them
to cut out their work according to their
physical ability. Thus they take up
one thing after another, pertinaciously
sticking to the busineu, and willing to
be dog trainers at 825 a week if they
cannot tumble at $50, ride a. pad at $100
or do the bareback at 8200 to $250. Circus
performers are essentially itinerants. Not
only are they continually traveling from one
city to another, but they visit nearly all the
countries of the earth. After a performer has
made the rounds of America for two or three
seasons he finds it' advantageousto makes

trip to Europe, thus avoiding what is termed -

“wearing out" with the circus going public.
Three out of four of these men can

four languages, and some of them twice that
number. The general idea is that circus per-
former-s are a dissolute lot. But this is amis-
take. Canvasmen and bill posters may be
be addicted to the use of red eye and incline:
to engage in free lights with country toughs
or with themselves, but the performers are
quite different. They look down upon the
boltcl's and helpers as actors look upon stage
hands, alrd associate but little with them.
Tire incessant denran‘ds of his profmsion upon
his time and strength are so great that the
average performer finds dissipation well nigh
impossible. Perhaps a majority ofthe “artists"
save luouey each season, and many of them
are men of family, owning houses in their
native country. .

Notwithstanding the better opportunity for
rest and sleep afforded by railway trans-
portation, show life is anything but play, as
is quickly discovered by the silly boys who
run a way from home to “follow the circus.”
Even the performers, excepting only every
few, are required to play many parts in the
circus day, appearing five or six times in the
ring during an afternoon, and an equal num-
ber of times, of course, during the evening.
This means ten or ndosen changes of costume,
these changes to be made in a hurry, and
often while standing upon wet, cold ground,
with a rainstorm beating upon the tent oven
head, and the temperature as chilling as a
lakcshore May day. .. ,

There is a ladie's’ dresing room, too—a
smaller tent wherein a score of women, parade
riders and performers, gather to prepare
themselves for the public eye. Of course no
masculine feet are allowed to enter them
sacred precints, but pres agent Day seize:
the opportunity to imprem upon his listener’s
nriud the fact that all circus women are
ladies, and that they are at all times carefully
protected from insults. “Just as soon as a
lady performer begins to develop in her
specialty her services become valuable to
somebody, and that somebody sees that she is
taken care of. Contrary to the general im-
pression, almost impregnable safeguards are
thrown about the persons of women who earn
their livelihood in circuses, differing widely
in this respect from the conditions met with
on the st "e.”

Just wit out the dressing room, alrd near
the curtain through which the performers
make their entrances and exits, is a tented
ante room. Here the performers gather in
groups to await their call. Here the trained
horses are brought to be caparisoned for their
appearance before the multitude, Alady in
pink tights and spangles and with a pint oi
paint on her face picks her way dalntly over
the turf to the entrance and stands beside the
gorse she is soon to ride, leisurely reading a
fashion paper. Another pauses for a moment
to hush lrer babo’s cries by coddling the wee
thing in its mother’s bosom. Near by sits the
plaid and spectacled wardrobe woman, sew-
in g away at a rent garment, unmindful of the
r-cstiess horses tramping near her and securing
not to hear the screams and shouts and shot.‘
of the mimic Indian battle going on in the
larger tent. She and all about her become
interested when the word passes that one of
Custer’s merrhns been shot in the eye by a
Sioux brave and the member badly burned.
Thcsc Indians are eagerly watched b those
who have to perform with them. be red
man is inclined to betoo realistic in his circus
work, becoming much excited and altogether
too cm'llest.

“lilust tlrcnr Indians," says a young country
boy who does duty as one of Custer’s soldiers;
“they ’pcnr to think they’re actually in a
fight, and they want to kill somebody in dead
earnest. We boys are fearfully afraid they’ll
loud their guns with balls sometimes and do
us up.”

Pl-lcss Agent Day volunteers the cxplanu»
tiou that a large majority of the em loyes oi
a circus are genuine horse lovers. “ hey are
largely boys who were brought up on farms,”
he says, “where they learned to love
horses. It beats all the number of
opportunities we have to ’him young
in the country. I suppose a
hundred a day is about the number who
offer their services to us at any compensa-
tion we see fit to pay. Nine out of ten of
them are lovers of horses. The horses in a
circus like this, and we have 250, are all well
treated. The Irostlcrs can’t do too much for
them, and even the driver of the commonest
wagon team is ready to light for his horses if
any orlc speaks ill of them. You would be
much amused to hear a lot of these drivers
boasting of the accomplishments of their
steeds. They are worse than the performers.”

“These young ladies who ride in the pro-
cession, do they get pretty good pay?"

“ch, better than ballet girls. The fact is,
there are very few girls who can ride'well
enough to suit us. A good horsewomarr is not
sufficient, she must have unlimited courage
and u good deal of muscle, for the dangers of
street parading are great. Runaways often
occur, and horses are likely to become excita-
ble and stampcdy. Women equal to these
emergencies are not easily found. ”—Chicago
Herald.

VARIOUS FAMILIAR “AMERICANISMS.”

An English Observer Points Out Differ-
ences in the Common Language.

Probably the most frequent question which
is put to an Englishman visiting these shores
for the first time, after having grappled with
the poser, IVhat do you think of America?
is, Do you find much difference in the
dialects of the two countries? That
there is a difference nobody will deny; but
among the refined classes in New York, apart
from certain local expressions, it is far less
noticeable than would have been expected.
The first thing that would strike a
Londoner is probably the lazy, familiar
“Ye-uh" , by which you are answered
on all sides by- persons from whom, in
England, you would expect “Yes, sil',”.wbile
“Seeircre” is also peculiarly American. If
the person you are addressing does not catch
your remark, he will startle you with
“What’s that?” “What is it?” or “How?”
when ilr England he is accustomed to
“What?” “Eh?” or “Beg pardon?” under sim-
ilar circumstances.

There is no exact corresponding expression
in England “to get left” and “to get there,”
the nearest approach being “to be in the
cart” and “to pull through.”

The English never use the words “previous” -

or “fresh” (impudent , “rare meat" (under-
donc), “fleshy” (stout), “dispatch” (telegram),
“full" (tipsy), “homely” (plain, addr'es-cd to
persons). An American child will call her
parents malnma and pappa, and will cause a
shout of laughter or a shocked look when she
speaks of “bugs” for ordinary insects, this
term being cxcluslvely reserved in England
for the “bed” species. It is hardly necessary
to allude to the use of the word “guess”
(Arrglice, “I fancy" or “I think”), as from
time immemorial an Englishman thinks he
has only gottosay “I guess” and talk through
his nose to imagine he is talking “real good
Yankee.” “Dude”is uriknowu in England
and no one there would know what was mean.
by a “dry goods store" (linen draper’s).
Londoners Irave nothing grander than
“house porter” to correspond to “janitor,”
and would possibly be puzzled to know what
was meant by “a high stoop house” or an
“English basement house.” They would also
ask for the “lift” in place of the “elevator,”
and would think it strange not to have to go
up one flight to the “first” floor, as‘in England
they are accustomed to call this latter the
“ground floor.” Such slangy expressions as
“You make me tired." “To blow you off," “I
feel a kinder good,” “I have had areal elo-
gant time,” are characteristically American.
If'you ask an American to take a drink, he
will reply, “I should smile,” the meaning of
which is obvious, and he may pomibly offer
togivo you “points" (tips) on sorrre coming
race. The word “boss" takes the place of our
“governor,” except when a London street
Arab means to be particularly polite and to
gain your custom for a box of lights, etc,
when nothing under a “capt’n” or “my lord”
is good enough. The word “candy” in Auror-
icn seems to cover all kinds of swoctmeats,
which are generally called “sweets” by the
crowd and “sugar plums" by the select in
England. There is ulsoacorruptiou of the

. good old Scotch word “toffee,” used generally

llcrc, viz., “toffee," ulld it sounds comical to
English cars to ask for a piece of apple pie in
place of tort. pie being only used when speak-
ing of Inent.~vNew York IVorld.

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrll in Its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. it is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make It the object of
their lives to rid themselves of It. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the confidence
of the great majority of sufferers In all advertlzed
remedies. They become resigned to a life of
misery rather than tenure themselves with doubt-
ful palliatives.

But this will never do.

BLASCER’S:

TIME HONORED

“OLD BRIDGE STORE.”

 

Nearly half a century ago my store was christened
as above, and hassillce been known and honored among
the old residelltspi N orwalk by that appropriate name.
But that is a matter of little consequence to the public in

these piping times of severe

BUSINESS COMPETITION.

The one important question to purchasers is where can
we get the

Best Goods for the Least Money!

From time to time the report comes to me that some of
my near neighbors have boasted that they could under-

sell me.

N 0 one who has ever tested the truth of such a.

claim by coming and examining my carefully selected and
UNEXCEL LEI) STO(‘K () F GOODS

and the. extremely low prices at which I offer the same
has ever lclt

“ The ‘01s iBridg‘e Store,”

With any other feellng than

that no one in the trade can

or does offer greater inducements to cash customers than

I do.

I have the choicest exhibits of

AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN

oaocxsav a GLASSWARES.

Also about every conceivable device, for Table
Furnishing, Mantel Decoration, with House Cleaning

and Cooking Implements of every description.

We strive to strictly attend to our own business.
We never run down or misrepresent other dealers, and
we ask simply a chance to show our customers our stock
and let them satisfy themselves; but one thing may be

NO OTHER CONCERN SHALL UNDERSELL ME!

Practical Uses of Wind Power.

[From Flinn. Field and Slackers». March 5.]

There is a rapidly increasing demand
from farmers, d ' an and stockmsn
for a wind mill that will not onl pump
water, but also furnish power arran-
ning machinery used about the barn and
d ' . These are {feed grinder, com
unlit»; wood saw, churn, grindstone or
feed cutter, and even running threshing
machines. All this has successfully been
done by wind power. Millers, too, are
beginning to see the value of wind as s
cheap power, and are creating large mills
for custom work.

 

The illustration represents a Challenge .

Double Header and Mill erected at the
end eta-barn, and running a Challenge
Feed Mill, corn sheller, pumps, etc, and
towhich also could be attached any of
the other machinery mentioned above, a
wood saw or threshing reaching—or, in
f any kind of machinery that can be
run y water or steam power. This com-
pany and their predecessors have made

The safest trouble among manufact-

wheel squarely to the eye of the wind,
because as soon as power was sp lied to
the wheel the tendency was or the
wheel to creep, swerve or veer round
on the tower. The Challenge folks have
overcome this tendency to swerve or veer
out of the wind, and b a sim lo device

ing five or forty miles an hour; the mill

The Challenge Company not only gain
in presenting theirmill squarely tattle
wind' at all times, but another vital point
is they present each slst of their wheel
at all times at the same angle. It is
manifest to an one who has made wind
mills a study, at if not held squarely
to the wind at all times, the millnot only,
loses a large amount of . power, by pro.-
senting to the wind :s greatly reduced
area of surface, but it. . loses a great
amount of. power. by presenting what sur-
face it has left at an entirely different
angle to what it, did when held square to
the wind. To prove this, take a position
in front of a mill, let power he applied
and if the mill swervea or climbs around
sideways it loses power.

So if you can see through the wheel
between slats on certain portions of it,
permitting the wind to pass entirely
throughwithout leaving any impression
on the wheel, it is robbed of its power.
In other words, they lose power by so
seating a reduced surface of the w eel
sideways to the wind, and what surface

that it will do certain things, no matter
how extravagant their statements may
seem to be. it is but just that before de-
ciding that they are scheming to swindle
their patrons, you investigate thoroughly
their offers and methods, do so in the case
of B. A. Atkinson & 00., and you will be
convinced that not only are their state-
ments true, but that it is for your own best
interests to patronize them.

How foolish it is to make fun of the
home-made bustle. There is not a girl
who makes her own bustle but is .backed
by some of the most influential papers of
the times—St. Paul Herald.

Mrs. Josie Reynolds, 62 Amcsbury st.,
Lawrence, Mass, March 16, 1885, says:
“My father, A. W. Goodrich, of this city,
now 74 years old, has used Dr. Seth Arn-
old’s Cough Killer for 25 years, is never
without it, and never hesitates to recom-
mend it to others suflenng from coughs
and colds.” For sale by all druggists.
Price, 250., 500., and $1 per bottle.

For costiveuess. biliousness, headache,
and all feverish habits, use Dr. Seth Arn-
old’s Bilious Pill. 250.

The confederate flag cyclone which
swept the country from end to end last
week centered in Washington, where it
wrecked the prospects of certain war de-
partment officials, and warped a presiden-
tial boom out of all semblance of pros.
parity.

The instalmebt‘tlreory is by no means a
new one. Honestly conducted by a relia-
ble person or firm, it is a blessing to per-
sons of limited incomes. Of course un—
principled persons can abuse it, and the
same is true of any good measure. In
fact it’s always best to deal with firms of
established good, replltatron, when such a
firmadvcrlises that their goods are honestly
made, and that they are selling at low
prices, and rely ‘on their good name to as.
slst them. B. A. Atkinson &: 00. have all
these requisites, and you cannot make a
mistake if you purchase from them.

Journalism In Mexico.

Compared with the journalism of other
countries that of Mexico suffers in nearly
every point except taking life easy. Until
within five years, at any rate, the Mexican
edrtor was a person of fewcanes and little
businem push. Foreign news he and his
readers were content to receive by mail;
domestic intelligence found its way into print
after the colonial method of letters of trav-
eers or communications from rovinclal
readers, local happenings appeargd in the
shape larger of rumors, sifted down grad-

uallyinto some semblance of fact, not as s ‘

result of investigation at firsthand, but 01
balancing and weighing the accumulating
gofip. There was no system of reporting or
mtervlewrng, no “scoops,” no news Irot from
the wires. Indeed, the morning papers were
frequently for. sale on the streets the evening
before. From this enviable state. brought
about in pdrt by southern indolencc, in part
by thele of means to rival the expensive
admmrstratiou of an American newspaper,
Mexican journalists are being gradually
aroused. American competition on their own
ground is one cause of disturbance, growing
native and foreign demand for better methods
is another. A half column of news from Eu-
rope and the United States by the Galveston
cable was the first innovation. Now an
agency furnishes about acolumn a day by
telegraph from El Paso. Other improve-
mania are coming in. One incident of the
new order of things cannot fail to be a
sharper; struggle for en'Stence which will, in
time, kill off the more useless members of the
newspapersociety. Asyet, however, Mexican
editing continues to expend its strength in
writing furious or flattering leaders about
public men and affairs, and publishing the
polltical and social gossip of the streets; it is
only'rubbing its eyes open to the importance
of fresh and accurate news.

'Wc must allude with brevity to whatis
really a great feature in Mexican journalism
_.the literary department. The feuilleton of
the French papers is imitated, literary,
musical, and dramatic criticism is largely
indulged in, even Spanish jokes are not want-
mg. But the great outpouring of the native
genius is in the form of poetry. It sweeps in
like a deluge upon the editors, whom one would
call lucklees did they not like and encourage
that sort of thing. One paper recently pub-
lished a poem, “The Delirium of Love,” of
such cxtravagarrtly high flown absurdity
that the critic of another journal was moved
to ridicule, and suggested that the poem should
have-been entitled “The Delirium of the
Author,” whereupon the first named paper
admitted the justice of the strictures, but
avcrrcd that it was really forced to publish
the verses, inasmuch as they came to it highly
reccommcnded as the first essay Of a beginner
m ought to be encouraged—New York.

Some of the expressions of gratitude for the
physical regeneration wrought by Mrs. Lydia E.

jorclngs of religious converts after a revival. It
brings Salvalion to the body. A lady Ilr Franklin
