Tin: LOVKD AND LOST,
[From the National Intelligencer.]
The following poem from the Church of Eng
land Magazine, will come like a “song In the
night” to many a stricken heart.
•*Tho loved and lost!” why do wo call them lost?
Because wo miss them from our onward road.
God’s unseen angel o'er our pathway crost,
Looked on us all, and loved them thp most.
Straightway relieved them from life’s weary
■ load.
They are not lost; they are within the door
Hint shuts out loss and every thing—
With angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeemer's presence evermore,
And God himself, their Lord, Judge and King.
And this wo call a loss! O selfish sorrow,
Of Hellish hearts. Owe of little faith l
Lot us look round,some arguments to borrow.
Why we In patience should await the morrow.
That surely must succeed this night of death.
Aye, look upon this dreary, desert path.
The thorn and thistle wheresoe’er we turn;
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and
wrath;
What struggles and whnt strife the journey
hath?
They have escaped from these; and lo! wo
mourn.
Ask the poor sailor, when the wreck Is done,
Who, with his treasure, strove the shore lo
reach,
While with the raging waves he buttled on,
Was'lt not joy, whore every joy scorned gone,
To see his loved ones lauded on the beech ?
A poor wayfarer, leading by the baud,
A little child, hud halted by the well,
To wash from off her feet the clinging sand,
And tell the tired boy of that bright land,
Whore, this long journey past, they lunged to
dwell.
When lo! the Lord, who many illusions hud,
Drew nearer and looked upon iho suffering
twain,
Then pitying, spake, "Give me the little lad!
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad,
I’ll bring him with mo when 1 come again:”
Did she make answer selfishly and Wrong—
“ Nay, but the woes I feel ho too must share ?’
Or, rather bursting Into g< ateful song,
She went her way rejoicing, and made strong.
To struggle on, since he was freed from err re.
Wc will do likewise. Death hath made no
breach ;
In love and sympathy, in hope and trust.
No outward sign or sound our cars can reach,
But there’s nu Inward, spiritual speech,
That greets us still, though mortal tongues In
dus’..
It bids us do the work that they laid down,
Take up the song where they broke off the
strain; '
So Journeying till wo reach the heavenly town,
Where are laid up our treasures and our crown,
And our lost, loved ones will bo found again.

A VISIT TO THE PAL AUK OF TIIKTIIIL
EKIES.
It was a, bright May morning when,
just as I was about sallying lorlb for a
ramble through the streets of Paris, there
was handed to me a letter, no, not a.let
ter, but an envelope, neatly enclosing a
ticket of admission to the grounds and
the palace of the Tuilories. My quarters
were at the Grand Hotel, where, for near
ly a week, I hud been anxiously awaiting
a reply to a courteous note I bad address
ed to M*le General Polin, Adjalanl-Ocn
oral due Palais des I'uitcrics. The pur
port of my note was that I was a stranger
from a distant laud, intending to make a
brief sojourn in Paris, and that if it was
agreeable to bis Excellency, I should be
gratified to obtain bis permission to visit
the interior of the palace of the Tuileries
I added my name and address, and sub
scribed myself bis very bumble servant.
I bad not forgotten some of the histori
cal associations connected with this ven
erable pile of architectural beauty. Just
three centuries ago.CuLbarinede Medicis
begun t|ie building of the present edifice.
Henry the Pound greatly enlarged Hie
palace, and Louis the Fourteenth finally
completed it. The history of the lirst
revolution is inseparably connected with
this palace. • Twice during the year 17112
the mob entered it. On Hie last of llie.se
occasions, its halls were covered with Hie
blood of the Swiss guards who defended
it.
During the roign of the First Napoleon,
it was tile imperial palace, and alter the
restoration it continued lo be the resi
dence of the King and Royal Family
Baton the 20ih of June, 1830, the mob
again attacked it, and took it. They lore
down the gorgeous diapeiy of ils wails,
shattered into pieces its staiues of bronze
and silver, and threw its glittering throne
into the street. For eighteen years after
wards Louis Philippe inhabited it, butou
the 21th of February, 1848, it was again,
and for the last time, invaded by the
mob. Just two days afterwards the Pro
visional Government made a decree,
transforming, for all time to come, the
palace into an asylum lor invalid work
men. It is needless to say that this de
ciee was never put into execution. Now
it is occupied as the imperial residence oi
Louis Napoleon, and us I wended my
way towards it I said to myself, how long
will that be ? Even now, us I attempt to
recall something of its history and to de
scribe some of its splendors, the answer
comes to me trom across theoeean, where
liberty and progress are demanded by the
people and advocated by tile press, “ not
lung, for the end drawelh nigh.”
1 was conducted, on entering the pal
ace, up ajitaircase to the anti-chamber of
Hie chapel. A door opens from here
which leads into the foyerofthe theatre,
through which f passed to the theatre it
self. The ceiliug is vau.ted, and is sup
ported by beautiful louie columns.—
Tuere are two tiers of boxes aud a par
quet. The conductor iulormed me that
ou great oecasious, whou the beauty and
wealtu of Paris congregate at the pal mo,
and tho grand ball room resounds with
the music of the dance, the theatre is
used as a supper-ri.om for ihe guests of
the Emperor. , , ~ ,
The conductor motioned to follow, and
In a few moments we stood in the chapel.
Nothing but gold ou a white ground aud
Doric columns, aud Doric columns and
gold. Gold ou a while ground every
where, and Doric columns supporting
gallery aud celling. Only me balustrade
of the state pew was covered with red
velvet and gold. -
"Now,” said tho conductor, for the
bull room.” It is called the i alia tie la
Paix. It is a beautifully proportioned
ruem, and maguiliceutly decorated. > He
pointed over the mautei-piece smilingly,
to an ecpiestriau portrait of Louis Napo
leon. The panels in the room are filled
witli immense mirrors, and a statue of
real silver representing Peace stands at
one end of the grand hull. Marble col
umns flank it ou either side supporting
busts of rare beauty. Thu pilasters are
Doric, fluted aud gorgeously gilt. X was
hurried aioug belore 1 had half satislied
my curiosity, to ihe Halle dcs Marcchaux.
What I had seen paled before the splen
dor of this room. Nothing here but the
rarestpoulpturiug aud richest painting.
The galle y was supported by great stat
ues of gold. Magmflvent portraits of the
grand marshals of Franco filled, and
adorned the pane 8. There was Macdon
ald, and Joachim Murat, aud Laiiues,
aud Nuy. There was Jourdau aud Da
voust, Prince d’Eekmuhl, aud looult. —
The furniture, which was of tho most
elaborate workmanship, was covered
with green velvet and gold.
“ N" room iu any palace In Europe can
Burpu-s tins,” said the conductor, as ho
led me to the card room. The carpet ou
this fleer particularly attracted ray at
tention. J.t was woven in the looms ot
the Gobelins amj cqsf. thousands of francs.
Before.! was aware of it I was in tho
throne room. The apartment itself is all
that art and money could make it. The
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1869
hangings were of red velvet embroidered
with gold, the canopy above the throne
was of the name material, and the drape
ry about It of rich crimson satin covered
over with golden bees. The bees were
significant, I thought, as I stood and
gazed in wonder upon the splendid scene.
I hey may have concealed beneath their
golden wings poisonous stings, which,
one day, may prove fatal to the present
occupant of this very throne. Just then
I remembered that pleasant day In June,
twenty years ago, when the grand Salic
clc la 'Pale was turned into a oarrack for
the National Guards. Why the guards
were then there lounging on their trusses
of straw which were strewn over the floor
of the splendid apartment, the statue
over the mantel-piece could tell better
than words. What' If it did represent
Louis Philippe, yet it was broken and
disfigured, no one can doubt by whom.—
JSo these palm leaves and wreaths wrought
in gold over these velvet hangings may
bo spared loi g after the canopy.which
surmounts the th r oue with the letter N
in medallions shall have been torn into
shreds and trampled in the dust, no one
can doubt by whom. There are only
three serai-mrcular steps which lead to
the chair—this gieut chuirof power. On
the velvet drapery just behind it is dis
played an escutcheon UU the Imperial
eagle surrounded by a wreath, surmount
ed by a helmet with the imperial crown.
Then there is the sceptre and the hand
of justice forming a cross, and this com
pletes the description. I turned my back
on the Throne room and entered the *Sa
lon Louis Fourteenth, All the furniture
in this apartment is of red damask and
gold. - Hurrying through this beautiful
saloon and glancing rapidly at the paint
ings on the wall, I was ushered into the
grand dining-room, which the conductor
told me was nearly 200 feet or.g and more
than 30 feet in breadth. At one end of
this fine apartment there is a beautiful
table of mosaic work, and upon it is a
marble bust of the Prince Imperial.—
How long it will remain there does not
nosv seem questionable with those who
pretend to know something of the tem
per and characteristics of the French
people. Just behind these two rooms is a
suite of apartments looking into the gar
den.
“ Could I be conducted lb rough them?”
The conductor shook his head, but I
slipped n glittering fee into ids lingers
winch he only liuuded back with another
shake of tiiti head. Alter all was Ito ho
disappointed? Above all others it was
tiio suite of rooms inhabited by tlio Em
peror and ids family that I most desited
to see. 1 importuned, I templed, I de
manded, but all Of no avail. I did wisli
to see bow the Imperial family lived. I
did think that I migjit perchance bo per
mitted to catch a glimpse at them at a
distance, but I thought wrong. Thecon
dactor was inexorab'e.
■' Here,” said he," here are apartments
I will show you liner than the Emper
or’s,” but, lie added, “consider yourself
favored.” .
Tlie stall case was new, the bummers
were of bronze, elegantly gilt, “ and the
saloons," I imputed, “are they new?”
" Just finished and rarely shown,” re
plied the conductor. They were three in
number and square. The first was sea
green the second rose-colored, and the
third blue. Hut how shall I describe
their beauty and magnificence?” Such
delicate colourings, such ricli and costly
decorations, such brilliant effects, such
gorgeous blending of colors! Think of a
mantel-piece of real lapis lazuli, with its
jambs end in acanthus leaves, so beuutl
fully chiselled that you-admire the more
the longer yon look, and look until you
become enraptured.
I began to wonder whether all tins was
a dream. A stretch of sea and sky with
a hemisphere of roses between. No fairy
witli magic wand could create a lovlier
abode than this. Was tills really the
home of fairies, or were the inmates of
tlie palace angels in human form, who
sometimes loitered in these bowers of
beauty ? Bit I remembered the grand
apartment in another portion of the pal
ace—i remembered the Salic (ic fa Paix.
U was during a February, just twenty
years ago. The King should have been
there but he was absent. Was the italic
dc la Pah: deserted then ? By the king,
yes, by the worst of the rabble, no.—
There they held lor days their orgies.—
The Queen’s bed-room was transformed
into a dining-room, and the King’s wine
cellar was tlie properly of all. 'I he rab
ble ruled supreme, not for a day, but for
days anil almost weeks.
As I gave a lasi lingering look upon
tills scone of surpassing beauty and ele
gance. and remembered tlie history O'
the Salle dc la Pau\ I wondered whether
its history would be repeated here. Have
these grand saloons been built and deco
rated for oilier occupants? And there
came the answer like the still, small
voice, history repeats iisclj.
How a l*rencltor Created a Sensation In
Ilcrlln.
The Berlin correspondent of the Prov
idence Journal wri'ea:
"The great sensation of the day, here
in Berlin, centres around what might al
most he called the most original mind of
Hie age, in the person of one Kev. Mr.
Kuaak. This Mr. Knaak, occupying one
of the tirst pulpits iu Berlin, came forth
in a series of sermons, denying the right
of science to investigate the literal asser
tions of the Bible; and wound up ids
madness by asserting in defiance of the
Copernicus, Newton,'Leibnitz and La
Place,.that the earth really did uotrevolve
around the sun, but mi the contrary, that
the sun revolved around the earth ; ami
to make the climax sublime, even denied
that the earth resolved on lisuxis.
proved too strong a pill for the Berliners.
Like every other extreme assertion, it
uuturdly drew forth an oulbust of free
thinking rashness, equally extreme, and
has done the cause ol religion great dam
age, in a country where sympathy with
revealed religion is at best none too strong.
Public meetings were held, and a power
lul attempt was made to throw the cler
gy entirely out of doors, iu the matter ot
public education—while there was no end
to the rage and invective of these ‘Age of
lleasou 1 reformers. All the papers sprang
upon poor Knaak, With scourging edito
rials, and great and universal was them
diiiiiulioii of Uiu proud Burundi's, who
fancy themselves the most intellißeut
community iu the world, that a land
which lias produced a I’ichle, a Hegel
and a richleiermucher, should also bring
forth a KnaaK. Further investigation
proved that it was not Knauk alone who
was guilty of such insanity, but that lie
curried with him a powerful party among
the clergy, so that, leading aside the ques
tion of the earth’s revolution, it is, never
theless, dirtlcult to say which way it is
drifting. .
“ This affair we should call in America
simply ‘a new sensation;’ and it would
seem that the rabid extremists who so re
viled Kuuak, areas unreasonable as him
sell; lor the best reputation that perlect
folly can have is perfectsilence. One pa
per was confiscated for its extreme views
iu church matters ; but the greatest spun
was the comic delineations ol Kuuak, m
the ‘funny paper.’ One of these repre
sents a scene in a school room. A plucky
urc.iiu is called up by a stern pedagogue,
ami interrogated: ‘ls the earth stationa
ry ?’ ‘No, air I’ replied the boy, ‘it revol
ves on Us axis.’ ‘What !’ cried the infu
riated master, who hud imbibed the no
tions ol Kuaak, *if you do not retract
that wicked assertion Immediately, I will
give you a sound whipping.’ ‘But mas
ter, it revolves! it revolves!, continued
the terrified boy ; whereupon he received
a fearful scourging. But while returning
lo his ’seat, seeing the masters back
turned, he turned gently around, and
while rabbin* one painful baud on his
side, lie placed the other in a • ertaiu po
sition on his nose, and muttered scorn
fully, a la Galileo: ‘Master! and yet it
revolves in spite of the devil!’

TOO GREAT JIV EONS.
[The following linns are the translation of n
German hymn found In the “Schoolmaster and
h la Son,’’ a work recently published .They were
written by the Schoolmaster shortly after
he had lost his wife and three children by the
plague, and are expressive of his feelings under
the heavy bereavement ho had experienced at
the hand of Providence.]
Too grate my loss I
My God! my heart Is deeply grieving!
My wife and son, and daughters dear
Thou hast removed In ono short year.
It was a fourfold, sad bereaving,
And now I lie beneath Thy cross!
Too great ray lossl ,t
Thy will bo done!
Must I yet bow in deeper anguish ?
Are other griefs prepared for mo?
1 yield, my Lord I I yield to Thee!
I will in dust ami ashes languish.
Until my course of woes be run.
Yet keep mo meek !

REMOVAL OF HOOTil’s REMAINS.
On the loth of April, 18U5, Abraham
Lincoln tiled. Qn the loth of August,
1807, puhlicsentimentextortedoutof the
pachydermatous Kilwin M. Stanton, the
place, time and circumstances of the
burial of the man who killed Alimham
Lincoln, and the secret of the grave of
John Wilkes Booth became known not
only for the first time to the country, but
for the first time to his relatives, who. are
few, and to his friends who are many.—
Since then the secluded room In the 11 rat
of the warehouses In the military build
ing on tlie old arsenal- ground has been
visited by many hundreds of people, ac
tuated by ah the mingled motives which
run between and connect curiosity and
affection. To-day, cu the loth of February,
the body of Booth was finally taken up
by order of'the Presidentof the United
Stales, and the order reads follows :
War Department, i
Washington, Feb. 15, ISO!), j
To Brigadier-General Bamscy,command
ing at Arsenal:
The President directs that you give over
the body of John Wilkes Booth to the
beare**, Mr. John H. Weaver, sexton of
Christ’s church, Baltimore, to be by him
taken in charge for proper re-interment.
Please report the execution of tins order.
(Signed) E. D. Townsend,
Assistant-Adgt. General.
This order was issued by the Deputy at
3p. M.; the order of Mr Johnson on
wlilcdi it was based was Issued at 2 P. M.;
at 4 P. M. Mr. Weaver, and Messis. Mnrr
& Harvey, undertakers of tins city, drove
into the arsenal grounds ; and at 0 P- M m
the little one horse express wagon they
came in boro out a wnite pine case smel
ling of earth and covered with a common
stable blanket. In that case was the
body of Booth, and with it the men drove
to Marr & Harvey’s place on F s’reet.—
There the pine box was encased m anoth
er larger piue box, and to-night it left
under charge of Mr. Weaver in the train
for Baltimore. He has been instructed
by Edwin Booth, now playing in ills
own theatre in New York, to keep the
body in his, Weaver’s house, 22 Fayette
street, Baltimore, during to-olght, to
place remains in a rosewood coffin,-and
with entire privacy to hury them along
side lids father, Junius Brutus Booth, in
Greenmount Cemetery, to-morrow at 11
o’clock. It would be only the reproduc
tion of matter to which the World has
given fullest circulation before to narrate
the mode, time and manner of Booth’s
midnight burial. Briefly he was inter
red, with a secrecy which smacked of the
Inquisition, at the dead of night, under
t"e flagstone floor of a room in the ware
house on the arsenal grounds. Only
Stanton. Holt and Baker were present
in addition to the file of soldiers who
dug the grave- Rumor hasdt that these
soldiers only dug the grave and were
then marched off, and that the hands of
Sainton, Holt un i Baker bore in the
boily of the viclim of Boston Corbett,
shovelled in and levelled down the earth,
and replaced the stone flooring. How
ever this may be, it is certain that the flle
of soldiers were at once exchanged in ton
regiment on duty on the plains, and that
many and very strong tea-ona weio giv
en to these men to suppress the scene at
which the Secretary of War officiated as
head sexton upon the remains of a man
hunted to a Virginia ham. burnt out ot

to-day, and the expedition witli which
t e order was effected lias been already
indicated. I was present this nfteriVmn
at the arsenal, with Messrs. Weaver,
Man- and Harvey, and the events which
occurred were so brief and purely official
that it required the associations of the
time and place, and the memory ol all
the tragedies there culminating, to en
force the aiiggostiveneaa if not the his
torical importance of the scene even on
tile most impressible mind. As said, tho<

of the party including your correspon

iron doors, which dovetailed on one an
other, mid which were opened by Mr.
Tapso. the civilian superintendent of the
warehouse. I’he doors were exactly
those ofa vault. Entering into the ware
house, we found that before the varied
conteqis of the long room stretching
ahead could bo scanned, u abort turn to

the floor of which was buried Booth and
subsequently the restot the conspiratois,
as they are called, and yet more subse
quently Captain Wirz the Andersonvllle
jailor. The room is a rectangle,about for
ty by twenty feet, and about twenty feet
high also. It is lined with shelves run
ning up and across so as to form very
many equate pigeon holes, which are
filled with boxes, bottles, tools and oth-
cr odds and ends, Including piece- of
rope, small chains and many other ar
ticles. Bight in the centre of th«* room

and of Harold, on Sunday night, had not

high on both sides. The peculiarity of
graves, is that they are no graves. —
A. single trench, five feet high, fifteen
feet long, and six feet wide, has held the

and quietly informed us of the relative
position of the remains of each of the
dead. The spectators were only three
underlakers, a military ofllcer, and a
journalist,but despite the hardness which
the familiarity with catastrophes and
death may be supposed to work upon
such' minds, there was « some’hing of
solemnity and sadness and awfulnessat
these graves which toned the voice to
low utterance, induced each man to re-
move his hat,and made conversation be
gin with and end on the nearest necessi
ties of the case. As much of respect.us

come out of the grave, throw back the

colli ns, so called, of Atzerout and Wirz,
just visible, ami to open the trench from
its farther end-so as to reach Booth di-
rectly. The work thus far had been use
less and had consumed an hour of very
precious lime. The'uoldiers, however,

them as of the old Army of the Poto

remains were not exposed, but a
general look was giveu the box after it
had been thus partially cleansed, llwas
then borne by four soldier* on their
shoulders to the little red expieas wagon,
into which it was placed gently and al
most impressively. A blanket was
thrown across and carefully secured un

biunce of It. Not a word was said by a
single person. The negro voter who
drove the vehicle could not read ; hence

and thanks to Captain Phipps ami his
soldiers were exchanged. The little stub

gro whistled Champngeiie Charlie, the
gentlemen kept up strong and silent
thinking, and the body of John Wilkes
Booth was borne ou to the city, finally
in the custody of bis kindred, to rest for
ever by the side of hia father, the great
actor of tragedies, next lo the son whose
deed and whose death constituted in
themselves the greatest tragedy ol the
tune. The streets of the capital woo
crowded with people coming homo from
work. The little wagon ui traded no at
tention, for four men and a small box
covered with a stable blanket were not
calculated to excite curiosity.
WSINTI2IIMEXT OF HAROIjD.
The facts relating to the disinterment
and reburial of David 13. Harold, Booth's
companion, aie as follows: On Saturday
afternoon Kev. J. Vaughn Lewis, ol St.
John's Episcopal church, made applica
tion to President Johnson, in behalf of
the mother and sister of David E. Har
old, who was executed with Mrs. Surratt,
Payne, and Alzerodt, July 0,1800, for
Harold’s remains, and the order was Im
mediately giveil. The order was placed
iu the hands of Mr. Joseph Cawler, un
dertaker, who presented it to the Com
mandant ul the arsenal. General Kumsey,
and the detail of men was made who
soon dug to the box containing the re
,, unis, iy in.; between the cases contain
ing the bodies of Pu>ne and Atzeiodt,
ami they were delivered lo Mr.

establishment on Pennsylvania av%e
nue, between .Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets. The top of the‘case
was lounU lo have decayed and fallen in.
REMOVAL OF ATZEHUDT’S REMAINS.
Tiiis morning the mother of Alzerodt,
Mrs. Victoria Atzerodt,arrived here from
Baltimore, to be present at the re-inter
ment of her son. Mr. Schqde, with the
brother, John C. Alzerodt, called at fbe
executive mansion this morning, and on
wailing on the President, received the
order indorsed, “The Secretary of War
will order the delivery ol the' body of
George A. Alzerodt to his brother, John
C. Alzerodt. A. Johnson, President.”—
The brother, J. (J- Alzerodt immediately
proceeded to the War Department lo
procuic the lorther necessary order. It
was procured the same lime ihe order in
Boom’s case was issued. T*> morrow the
body will be aken lo Kentucky ; that
will leave only Payne, alius Powell, at
the Arsenal. There appears to be no
soliciting his body. Since Hie execution,

family, and bring them to this city,
when those of John Wilkes and the oth

it Is designed that the last sad rites be

early date. ,
WHAT IN FUSEL OIL?
The New York dailies, since tile report
of analytical chemists of the hoard of ex
ercise has been made, are asking the ques
tion, “What Is fusel oil?” Some have al
so made a feeble attempt to answer the
question which is thus propounded. The
query Ims arisen since the report above
alluded to states that out of thirty-two
samples of bourbon and braudy obtained
from the liquor dealers of this city, all
but four contained fusel oil. One daily
gives ventto Its feelings inlhe following :
“ Is it, after all, such a frightful thing?
Duuglingson describes it as an acrid, vol
atile oil, formed in the production of po
tato brandy, and which is not easily sep
arable from it; and, another authority
says it accompanies ordinary alcohol in
Its productions Iroin potatoes ami grain.
Duuglingson also says that iUrchemicul
composition is analogous to that of alco
hol, and that, in small doses, it Is highly
stimulating—acting like narcotics in gen
eral ; while in large doses it destroys the
mucous membrane ol the stomach. The
same authority also designates it as “po
toto oil,” “grain oil,” “corn spirit oil,”
“amylic alcohol,” and ‘hydrated oxide of
amyle." Some medical men have con
sidered that in the use of whisky by con
sumptives, fusel oil was the effective ele
ement—having the tendency to retard the
nrocesof decUy in the tissues of the lungs.
But there is no question of the ruinous
effects of the fusel oil liquors sold in New
York.
In regard to the effectsof fusel oil upon
the human system we cun do no better
th in quote the “United States Dispensa
tory," which says: “Amy lie alcohol (fu
sel oil,) as shown by experiments on in
ferior animals, is an active irritant poi
son.” If that is not sufficiently definite
to satisfy anxious and thirsty inquirers,
we shall not attempt to make it more «o.
Of course; it may bo taken like other
pois' iis, diluted with water ami common
alcohol,as it Is found in the compounds
doled out by. honest and conscientious
rumsellers without danger'of immediate
death or anything mure serious than *ied
nessof eyes,’ temporary madness of bruin
ami now and then a touch of delirium
iremem until the coats of the stomach
and the nervous system succumb to con
tinued and prolonged attacks, ami anoth
er wreck is cast upon the shores of life.
But it is nevertheless a poison, an active,
irritant poison, upon good authority.—
How It gets into the liquor is of little con
sequence The report, say it is there, add
we say let it lone, audit won’t poison
you. —Scientific American.
