which annually sweeps to an untimely jrrave
thousands of young men ef the most exalted
talents and brilliant intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ccstacy the
living Ivre, mav call with full confidence.
MAKRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Men contemplating

Hcian. ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impotency, Loss of Tower, immediately Cured
and full Vigor Kestored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible :6 the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
loung iersonsare too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqeuces
thai may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper hamts than oy ttic prudent I uesides
being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the uioft serious and destructive symptoms to both
bodv and mind arise. The svstcm becomes d.r
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procrcative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of t lie r rauie, Cough, Consumption. Decav and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined In health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month after mouth,
taking poisonous and injurious compouuis,
should apply immediately.
DI1. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgoous, Lou
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
ColYges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astoui.-hing cures
that wore ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing i:i the head and tars when asleep, great
tu i -vousr.i ss, being alarmed at sudden rounds,
1 ashl'ulticss, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immc'liatelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses a!i tho?e who have iniurrd
tliein-elves by improper indulgence and solitary
haliiis, which ruin both body and miiid.uiilitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. These are some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus--cular
Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Cou
viimption, A:c.
Mestaixt The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Lov of Solitude, Timidity, Vc., are some of the
evils produced.
Thovsasds of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vignr, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a siugular apiearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. . YOUNG MEN
Who have injured th nisei ves by a certain prac
tice indulged In m hen alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, aud destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country,, lue darling f his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons must before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound miud aud body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prosiect
hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes
thadowed with despair aud tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with ourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens thut an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread f discovery,
deters hira from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural
pains iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shiu bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
pHlate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a j.Tiod to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousand DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac, "destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sullerer
n: on Hi after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his palling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolabic Secrccv, and !
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Euro-, and the first in
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

Thou of the sunny mead,
With lilies garlanded,
And bosom fairer than the blown sea foam ;
O, Spring, in what waste desert dost thou
slay
Whilst leaves await thy presence unfold?
The branches of the lime with frost aie gray,
And all imprisoned is the. crocus gold.
Come, sweet Enchantress, come !
Though, in the sombre west,
Thy star hath lit its crest
Pale Phosphor, fronting full the withered moon
Thy Tiolets are sepulturcd in snow,
Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun,
Rude winds thionghout the ruined forests
blow,
And silent is the dove's melodious moan :
Enchantress, hasten soon.
White are the country ways,
And white and tangled maze,
Loved of the oxlip and the creeping thyme ;
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen ridge,
Cold glooms the spectral mill above the flood;
Hoarse torrents stream beneath the ivied
bridge,
And fightings strike the darkness of the
wood ;
Enchantress, bless our clime.
No bloom of dewy morn,
No freshly-blossomed thorn,
Gladdens the importuiiings of sad eyes ;
The day waste drearily, through cloud and
sleet ;
Oyer the watered meadows and stark vales
The night comes down impetuous and fleet,
Aud ships and cities shiver in the gales ;
O fair Enchantress, rise.
Arise, and bring with thee
The rathe bud for the tree,
The healing sunshine for the trampled grass ;
Loose tt ndrills for the boughs which bless the
caves,
And shield the swallows in the rainy hours,
The pendant flames which the laburnum
heaves,
And faint scents for the wind-stirred lilac
Cowers.
Enchantress, breathe and pass.
Men knew, and kissed, of old,
Thy garmeut's glittering fold
Thy radiant footprint ou the mead or waste ;
Earth kindled at thine advent altars burned,
And ringing cymbals bade the hearts be gay;
Rat now in sunless solitudes inurned,
Thou leavVt the world unto reluctant d iv.
Oh haste. Eiichantrc-s. hate !
The. lark shall sing again,
Between the sun and rain,
The brown bee through the flowered pastures
roam.
There shall bo music in the frozen woods,
A gurgliiig carol in the rushing brook,
Au o.lor in the half in. bosomed bud,
And dancing fox-glocs iu each forest nook;
Then, come, Enchantress, conic !

A ICOn AM E OF THE STKEET.
A group of ragged girls were playing on
the sidewalk of Baxter street, half blocking
the way with their boisterous antics. Dr.
Henry Coltou, a young physician attached
to a charitable institution in the neighbor
hood, found it almost impossible to push
his way through the crowd of hoydens.
Uncouth faces and rough words greeted
him, as with uo very gentle hands he made
for himself a passage through their midst.
One of the girls, bolder even than her noisy
companions, caught at his coat, and pulled
him half around. He looked at the girl,
whose temerity excited his surprise. She
was about twelve or thirteen years old, and
as ragged aud dirty as any of the lot ; yet
her beauty shown through her dirt and
rags. Her cheeks were round and dimpled,
her lips full and red, her eyes and hair as
black as midnight, and form apparently
wonderfully perfect. Dr. Coltou passed on
a few steps, but the girl's beauty excited
his interest, and he called her. At first
she was disposed to run away, but finally
she went up to him, taking care to keep
just out of arm's reach.
'What is your name, my little girl ?'
asked the the young man.
'Hose Garden,' she replied.
'Where do you live V'
'With Maiumy Ginger, down there in
the cellar she's my aunt, she is.
'Well, Ilosa,' said he as he started to go,
your too pretty and brightwitted to live in
this place and with these hard people.
Wouldn't you like to go to school!, and be
a lady when you grow up ?'
Hose's idea of the lady was associated
with fine clothe.9, and so she replied afirma
tively, without the slightest hesitation.
'Then I'll tell you what to do Kosa,'
added Henry; 'wash your face, comb your
hair, aud do you know where the Girl's
Hefuge is V
'Yes, I guess so ?'
'You go up there, ring the bell, and ask
for Mrs. Brown. Tell her thai you want
to live there and learn to be a lady ;' and
he went on about his business, leaving the
girl with her noisy companions.
But Bosa had no relish for romping.
What the young man had said to her, kept
running in her head, and she soon went to
her squalid home thiuking it over and
over.
Bosa received little but bad usage, and
short ratious from 'Mammy Ginger,' who
only kept the girl for the work she could
squeeze out of her. Her present life was
so miserable that no change could well
have been made for the worse, and so she
was inclined to follow the stranger's advise.
That night she dreamed of being a fiue
lady, dressed iu silk, and with plenty to
eat, and upon waking iu the inornins she
no longer hesitated.
After excitirg 'Mammy Ginger's' wond
ers by washing her face and combing her
hair as well as she could with her fiugeis,
Bosa slipped out and weut to the Girl's
Befugc, an institution for the care and edu
cation of orphan and pauper girls. King
ing the bell, she inquired for Mrs. Brown,
as the stranger had told her to do, aud at
last reached the presence of the matron of
the institution.
'Well, little girl,' said Mrs. Brown'
'what do you waut ?'
'I want to learn to be a lady ?'
TLe odd reply, coupled with the girl's
striking beauty won the attention of the
matron, and liosa soon found herself an
inmate of the institution.
Eight years roled on bringing Dr. Henry
Colton to the age of thirty. Eight event
ful years to the country and to him, for
they comprised the bloody years of the
great war. At the first breaking out of the
great hostilities he entered the army as an
assistant surgeon, and served throughout
the entire struggle. At the close, like
thousands upon thousands of others, he
found himself completely unsettled in
habits and disposition. With a fer hun
dred dollars saved from his pay, he return
ed to New York, to find that his friends
had been scattered. Nobody knew him
and he had not a relative in the world.
'But I have a profession,' he said to him
self, 'perfected by years of practical army
experience ; I will establish myself, and
prosperity will bring friends around me
again.'
Naturally buoyaut and hopeful, he pre
pared to recommence life, with good spirits
and bright anticipations for the future.
He hired a respectable but modest ofliee on
a semi-fashionable up town street, furnish
ished it plainly, and displayed a sign de
noting his calling. Days passed, and no
patronage. He saw his dollars going out
with none coming in.
'I must economize,' he concluded ; 'I
will give up my boading place to begin
with.'
After this the lounge in his office was his
bed, and the cheap restaurant got his pa
tronage. Still these measures only checked
the drain upon his store. The few profes
sional calls that he had were mainly from
those too poor or too dishonest to pay, and
his income did not one-half meet his closely
curtailed expenses. He grew downhearted
and discouraged. Month after month
passed, and at last his money was all gone.
What should he do ? The idea of giving
up his profession was distasteful, aud he
clung to a hope uutil actual want came in
the shape of unappeased hunger. Then
one by one he pawned his fine surgical in
struments getting but a small fraction of
their real value. Articles of clothing fol
lowed until he found himself utterly unpro
vided to meet the cold weather that was
comiug on.
Finally, convinced that he must abandon
his profession, he studied the 'want'
columns of the newspaper, and spent two
eutire days in trying in vain to get em
ployment. The last of these two days be
ate nothing, and previous short allowance
had enfeebled him. When night came be
staggered wearily to his office to find that
the landlord had taken possession and lock
ed the door.
With his brain whirling and his limbs
tottering with weakuess, Dr. Colton wan
dered he scarcely knew where. Hunger and
fatigue were doing their work. He walked
several blocks when his eyes fell upon a
carriage standing at the curb. A coach
man iu livery sat upon the box, aud the
door stood open. Just then a lady came
out of an adjacent house, and walked to
ward the vehicle. The famished mau saw
that she carried a pocket-book in her hand.
The demon of hunger suggested robbery
as his eyes fasted upon the well filled trea
sure, lie darted forward quickly as to
attract her attention, and for au iustauce
she looked fixed in his face. A strange
expression passed over her features, but
seemed scarcely that of fear. She hesitated
a momeut, aud then laid the tip of her
fingers upon his arm.
'I have been waiting for you,' she said
'get iuto the carriage, please.'
Wandering at the meaning of her words,
and scarcely knowing or caring what he
did, Dr. Colton did as he was requested.
'Drive home,' said the lady io the driver
and away they wete borne up a fashionable
avenue.
'She has mistaken me for somebody else,'
he thought, 'and I must undeceive her.'
Then he said aloud : 'You have doubt
less made some mistake at least I have
forgotten you, if I ever had the honor of an
acquaintance.'
'No, sir,' was the reply. 'I have made uo
mistake ; but the explanation is too long
to be made here. Will you uot wait till I
reach my home ?'
Dr. Coltou assented, wondering if the
whole adventure was a creation of his fever
ed brain.
They arrived after a short drive, at a
brown stone mausion of considerable size
and beauty. The carriage stopped, and
the lady led the way up the stairs into the
hall. Here the weakened strength of the
doctor gave way. aud he sank iuto a chair
half fainting.
'Why, what is the matter ?' asked the
lady in great concern, 'Are you ill V
'Only starving,' was the bitter confes
sion. 'I have eaten uothing for two days.'
The lady hastily summoned the servants
and had him assisted to au easy chair.
Tempting viands aud generous wines were
placed before him, of which he partook with
good eflect, feeling stronger and better im
mediately after the meal.
The lady had absented herself during his
repast, but now she returned, divested of
her street dress, and wearing a rich robe.
For the first time Dr. Colton studied her
face, he thought, the most perfect in love
liness that he had ever seen.
'Are you prepared for au explanation of
my rather strange conduct ?' she said.
Dr. Colton bowed.
'Do you not remember me ?' she asked.
He looked at her face again, but could
not recall it.
'Do you remember,' she continued, 'in
Baxter street, years ago, of talking with a
dirty ragged little girl of telling her that
she was too pretty to live there aud sending
her to the Girl's Kefuge V
After thinking a moment, he said he did
remember that circumstance.
'I am the same girl,' and she smiled
merrily at Colton's look of amazement. 'I
weut to the Kefuge as you told me to do,
and was kindly received. I proved an apt
scholar, and at the age of seventeen was
able to get a situation as teacher in one of
the public schools. I had thus been cm
ployed but a few mouths, when a wealthy
retired merchant, named Arthur Ralston,
formed my acquaintance, and asked me to
marry him. I had uo friends aud his hon
orable conduct won my esteem. I then
married him, only to become within a year,
a widow with a fortune. All this time I
have never forgotten the author of my suc
cess, aud have always longed to reward
him in some way for the advice which prov
ed so valuable. And I fear,' she added
kindly, 'that my assistance was badly need
ed.' 'Indeed it was,' and Colton related his
career.
Dr. Colton slept soundly that night un
der the roof of Rosa Ralston. The next
day he returned to his office his protege,
as she called herself, insisting upon furnish
ing him with money to pay his rent and
redeem his pawned instruments and cloth
ing. And her bounty was so skillfully be
stowed that it did not seem like charity,
'only interest on an old debt,' as she ex
expressed it.
They were married on Rosa's twentieth
birthday, and now Dr. Colton, happy in
his possesion of a lovely and loving wife, a
fortune and a large practice, can compla
cently contemplate his days of starvation
and despair.

AN AUIZOJfA TRAVELER'S ACCOUNT OF
HIS ENCOUNTERS WITH SEVEN WILD
BEASTS.
A correspondent of the Arizona Miner
gives the following curious account of an
adventure in the wilds of that territory :
"On my way from Prescott I stopped for
the night at Old Camp Hulspai. On the
morning of the 17th instant started early,
in order to take advantge of the little frost
on the ground, which made it better tra
velling over the rocky flats that are found
near Anvil Rock. I reached the summit
of the Aztec PasB quite early; the wind
was blowing cold, and the air was full of
snow, and I pulled a blanket about my
face and urged my horse forward as fast as
I could. I had not traveled one mile from
the summit of the Pass when my horse
stopped ; I looked forward, and in the road
not fifty yards from me, I saw two caug
ers (commonly called California lions.) One
of them turned around so as to show to the
best advantage possible. The other a
smaller one, got down close to the ground
and acted as though he intended to spring
at my horse. I lost no time in getting out
my pistol, and as soon as my horse was
quiet enough fired at the creeping monster.
I undershot my mark. The ball struck a
rock about one foot in advance of the creep
ing lion, and glanced off with a sharp,
whistling noise. At this moment I observ
ed five other monsters, of the same species,
rise up from the dry grass, close by the
road-side. Now, all seven hopped off about
twenty paces from the right of the road
and stopped on open ground, within sixty
yards of me. Now, this was the first hop
of the season, and here was I an uninvited
guest ; but I hastily took items, and, as it
is customary to describe dress and appea
rance at fashionable hops, I will record
items as I took them ; three of the lions
were very large, in fact, monsters of their
species, and would weigh at least 300
pounds ; the others were smaller, but I
should judge the smallest to weigh at least
100 pounds. It being midwinter, furs
were all the rage. The three largest of
these fellows wore a dark gray bordering on
a brown coat, being a little lighter on their
sides, in front and under their bodies was
white and appeared like white lace or
down. The fourth was a little smaller,
and h8 dress was a little darker in color.
The three smaller ones were dressed in a
dark chestnut coat ; on the sides it border
ed on yellow with the same lace of downy
trimming. The dresses glistened as they
turned, and resembled changeable silk;
their movements were with much grace and
ease. They all wore tails at least four feet
long, and full three feet more than a lion
had any use for, but I presume long tails
are fashionable in these parts, if not each
lion or lioness had to carry his or her own
tail, and it was not for me to say how long
a tail a lion should carry. One of the lar
ger oues, which I took to be a mother of
part of the group, sat down like a cat ; she
raised her great paw and licked it, and then
rubbed her ear and side of her head as a
cat would. The movements were awk
ward but easy. If she was washing her
face she should have done so before coming
to the hop. The second large one sat very
quiet aud looked on. The third large one,
which I took to be a male, kept a little in
the rear, and appeared to be uneasy, as
though he expected reinforcements from
another direction, and I eamestty hoped
that no others would appear, as there were
already quite enough for the occasion.
The fourth, a lively fellow put his big
paws on a large pine root that protruded
above the ground, and raked it down as
though he was springing a little bluff.
The bark flew in every direction. As a
scratchest this fellow was a decided suc
cess. At the same time the three small
ones lay down close to the ground, and ri
vitted their eyes on me or my horse, and
commenced crawling up as though they
would like a more intimate acquaintance.
I had heard that if one looked a lion in the
face it would turn away ; but how could I
look three lions in the eye at the same
time ? Impossible. Now, I would like to
have compromised this matter by giving a
horse, but my horse was trembling with
fear, which plainly told me that he would
not stand to any bargain of this kind. I
looked for a sapliug, but they do not grow
in this part of Arizona ; none but large
pines were in sight, and all the lions in
Arizona could not frighten me up a tree
four feet in diameter. To dismount I
would make a dead shot, but then there
would be six lions left, I afoot. This would
not do. I resolved to try another shot, so
I got my horse to face the game and again
I fired. As my pistol cracked the fore
most crawler jumped about six feet in tbe
air and struck on his feet, and bit his side
as though a bee had stung him. At this
the large ones moved ou toward a brushy
thicket and the smaller ones followed. As
I turned my horse to go on, I saw ap
proaching me three horsemen. They came
iu time none too soon I assure you. They
had seen the large tracks in the road, and
heard my shots and hurried up. I told
them what had happened, and, as they
were well heeled and appeared to be men
that had seen something of frontier life, I
suggested that if it was game that they
wanted they could find it in that thicket.
But they all most emphatically denied hav
ing lost any lions. They hardly waited to
bear all my story, but passed on. As I
started on my way my horse wanted to
run, and appeared rery fresh ; previous to
this he seemed a little 'played' and tired,
but be would now and then 'git.1 For the
last twelve days my horse can see a lion
whenever he wants to. The fact is, he has
got what is called lion on tbe brain. If he
docs not recover soon 1 will sell him or
trade him off for a mule."
The young ladies of Spencer City, Clay
county, Iowa, had a party of their own,
and invite yonng men. Tbe merriment
ran so high that a jolly deacon and a hilari
ous Sunday school superintendent cot to
dancing, and now the church is terribly
shocked.

How the Eye is Swept aud Washed.
For us to be able to see objects clearly
and distinctly, it is necessary that the eye
should be kept clean. For this purpose it
is furnished with a little gland, from which
flows a watery fluid (tears), which U spread
over the eye by the lid, and it is afterwards
swept off by it, and runs through a hole in
tbe bone to the under surface of the nose,
while the warm air, passing over it while
breathing, evaporates it. It is remaikabie
that no such gland can be found in tbe eyes
of the fish, as the element in which they
live answer the same purpose. If the
eye had not been furnished with a liquid to
wash it, and lid to sweep it off, things
would appear as they do when you look
through a dusty glass. Along the edges of
the eyelids there are a great number of little
tubes or glands, from which flows an oily
substance which spreads over the surface
of the skin, and tubs prevents the edges
from being sore or irritated, and it also
helps to keeps tears within the lid. There
arc also six little muscles at attached to tbe
eye which enables us to move it in every
direction ; and as we consider the different
motions they are capable of giving to tire
eye, we cannot bat admire the goodness of
Him who found them, and thus saved cs
the trouble of turning our beads every time
we wished to view an object.
Length of Whales. Mr. Scoresby, a
very high authority on this subject, declares
that the common whales seldom exceeds
seventy feet in length, and is much more
frequently under sixty. Out of 322 whales,
which he assisted personally in capturing,
not one exceeded fifty-eight feet, and tbe
largest of which he knew the reported mea
surement to be authentic came up only sixty-seven
feet. Two specimens of the ror
qual or razorback whale have been ob
served of one hundred and five feet in
length. One of these was found floating
lifeless in Davis Strait, and the skeleton of
the other was seen in Columbia Eiver, and
must, tail and all, when alive, have mea
sured one hundred and twelve feet. Other
specimens have measured a hundred, and
many others from eighty to ninety feet
One cast on shore at North Berwick, Scot
land, and preserved by Dr. Knox, was
eighty-three feet in length. These instances
seem to establish the average and extreme
length of these huge animals. But with
conGdcrable credulity in earlier accounts,
Cuvier, the eminent naturalist, says stout
ly : 'There is no doubt that whales have
been seen at certain epochs and in certain
seas upward of three hundred feet long, or
oue hundred yards in length.'
One night last winter young Mullen of
New Castle, who feared that the lady he
loved was entertaining another admirer,
determined to climb a tree in the yard from
which he could see into the sitting
room in the second story, where the young
woman was supposed to be. Just as he
got himself fixed in a comfortable position
commanding the window, some one upon
the inside pulled the curtain down. Then
Mullen made up his mind to descend. It
was dark, and just as he began to slide
down the trunk Mullen heard a dog bark
ing furiously beneath, and looking down
he saw a huge animal capering about ap
parently very eager to nip Mr. Mullen's
legs. Then Mullen suddenly climbed op
the tree asain, and endeavored to drive the
dog off, but the more be spoke to the brute
tbe more it darted around and barked.
Then Mullen came down as low he dared,
and tried to coax the animal, but this only
made him hop about and howl mote furi
ously than ever. So it became apparent
that Mullen would have to spend the night
in the tree. He fixed himself as comforta
bly as he could in a crotch of the limbs,
and kicked his legs and moved his arms to
keep himself from freezing to death. Sev
eral times when he thought the dog was
asleep he attempted to descend, but each
time tbe brute awoke and began to caper
about. By the time daylight arrived Mul
len was so benumbed with cold that he
could barrdly use his hands ; but as tbe sky
grew brighter, he leaned over to examine
his persecutor, and to his amazement be
fouud that it was his own dog, which un
known to him, bad followd him to the tree
and had barked and capered only to ex
press his delight at the prospect of Mul
len's coming down and going home.
The suddenness with which Mullen reach
ed the ground is said to have been remark
able, and the language used by him bad.
He has some of the rheumatism which he
got on that night in his bones yet Max.

Ascent of Sa p in the Bakk of Trees.
M. Faivre has recently performed a se
ries of experiments on the mulberry , hazle
nut and cherry laurel, which be considers
goes far to prove the fact that the substan
ces which supply the food of plants have an
ascending motion in the bark. For this
purpose, he made perfect or imperfect an
nular incisions through the bark, or detach
ed pieces of the bark, to which buds were
attached, or removed entire cylinders of
bark from the trunk. The result of the ex
periments was that tbe buds always con
tinued to develop when the communica
tion remained uninterrupted with the low
er portion of the trunk ; while when this
communication was completely destroyed,
the -buds invariably withered away. If
the bud was separated by a perfect annular
incision, itwithered the more slowly the
greater its distance from the incision ; and
in these cases the starch disappeared en
tirely from tbe portions of tbe wood above
tbe incision between it and the bud. When
entire cylinders of bark with buds on them
were removed, the buds continued to deve
lop, and evea produced branches bearing
leaves.
