THE LOON OF LIFE.
All day, all night I can hear the' jai.
Of 'the loom of life, and nearer far •
It thrills with its deep and muffled sounfl,
As the tireless wheels go alwaYs around.
Bustly, Ceaselessly goes the •loom
In the light of the day and - the midnight's
eon*, . •
The wheel's are turning early , and late; .
And the wool is wound In the warp of late.
• '
Click, clack 1 there's a thread of love viroVe in
Click, clack l another or wrong and'Ein`;
What a checkered thing will this life be
When we see it , unrolled in eternity !
'Tilne,.with a face like a mystery,
And hands as buSy as hands can be, .
bits at the loom with its warp outspread,
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
When shall this wonderful web be done ?
In a thousand years; perhaps, or one.; .
Or to-morrow,. ~Who knoiveth ? Not - you
nor I. -
• •
But the wheels turn on and the shuttleaffy.
.:dhogui eyed weaver, the years are slow,
But each one is nearer the end I know,_
AO some day the last thread shalFbe wev
' en in
God grant it be love instead of sin.
Are we spinners of wool for this life-Web•-•
say?
Do we furnish the weaver a thread each daY?
It were better then, oh my friend, to spin
A beautiful thread than a thread of sin.

A COMPARISON BETWEEN iETWEEN THE AITSTRATAr AN AND
AMERICAN SPECIES.
L consider Australuin g l irls' some of, the most
beautiful in the world. l not even excepting
Americans. And nowhere will you find more
beauty than during the season 4, M' Saratoga,
Newport, or Long Branch (the latter place
"shoddy i " no doubt), of in the', ltite frill, at 4 in
theetiernoon, on' the block between Madison
and Union Squares. There is a certain young
Englishtentleman, something in the millionaire
business, I believe, whom 'I met on the stand
at Flemington, ho not knowing me, whom not:

seen. He was in love fifly..times a day, and
vowed be would, marry none but a Yankee
lass. 1 wonder it ha. will keep his . word. The
world .is such a small place, after all. I little
thought then that we should meet inMelhourne.
I think lie was 'wrong. ' Distance never lends
enchantment to my view, but I really believe
that Australian beauties, are superior to Ameri

pale, and indolent, as in Thai. But on the
lawn yestrday there was beauty,youth, health,
energy, vitality. An; anstomist might have

CONCERNING GLUTTONY.
In an able criticism of the book "German
Some life,", published - in the Sun of Jan. 14,
it seems to be the opinion of the,critic that tbe
heavy eating of the Germans' was the cause of
their fine physique in tact, their_ gluttonous
consumption of sausage, kraut, and beer was.
the cause of their deep chests and huvi,bi
ceps.
Such reasoning is mere sophistry. -•Eating,
like all other things, , can be carried to excess.
The requisite amount swallowed goes to build
up.the person ; all other food eaten is super
abundant, and goes to swell the stomach.
It is fallacious 'reasoning to say that a fine
Phylque can be produced oy.gormandiretng.
The physique of the Scotch Highlanders lairs
measurably better, ,than that of the Germans,
and yet the Highlanders are exceedinOy ab
stemious. Heavy =alters. are apt to be exceed:
ingly dull people. They ';clog the: brain in
to the wanteof the stomach. They
are_like a boa constrictor ; - _they 'eat - until they ,
can hardly;see or
,move, and are compelled to
101 l about after a ainner, closely 'resembling a
pig. It impossible . for Such people to be
pf.tssessed of acute reasoning powers.
It will .be noticed, hoWeier, that. the people
of North, Germany are more' civilized' eaters
than the South Germans, The - Germans are
tile slaves of their stemaChs. TrabablY that is
the secret "cause of the supreme quietude of the
reams of the German people. When their in
testines are tranquil, ther are tranquil: They

LITERARY LABOR. 1
A great deal . of brilljant work has been done
at a dash, and is still done. Byron wrote "The
Corsair" in ten - days, at the rate of two hun
dred lines a day, and sent into press as itwas,
written, publishing it with hardly a correction.
Lopez : de Vega wrote threelundred dramas; tor
the stage in one hundred days, upon the princi
ple Upon which an athlete now and then Walks
one hundred miles in one hundred hou'rs ;; and
it has been reckoned that the average amount
of his work was nine hundred lines a "day.
Voltaire 'wrote "Zaire" in three weeks nnd ?
"Olympie" in six days,; Dryden wrote' his
"Ode to St. Cecilia" at a sitting, •
The finest of Elizabeth Barret Browning's
poems, "The Lady Geraldine's Courtship,'" was
the work of twelve hours. ,It was written to
complete the original two volumes of her pOetry
and to send out with her proofs to America.
But, as a ' rule, the. best work is not to be done
at .a, dash in this style. "Wtiat do you think of.
Olympie ?" Voltaire asked one of his friends,
after that work: Was published ; wrote; it in
six days." ,'Tou should not have rested on
the seventh day," was the answer, and the
answer was wise as well as witty.
Shakespeare was not one of those slap! dash
workers ; and Shakespeare, with , phis thirty
four plays has conquered the world; • *Dickens
when he intended to write a Christmas story,
shut himself up for six weeks, lived the Ate, of
hertnit..and came out looking as haggard as
a murderer. Torn Moore,with his effervescence
and -sparkles, thought it quick work if he.added
seventy lines to "Lalla . .flookh n in a week, al
thciugh living out of the world in his writing
box in the Peak, Planche produced lila bur
lesques-nt an equally slow rate, thinking ten or
a dozen lines a day good work." 'The author of
"Caste" and "school" was one of the slowest , ot .
Workmen. Even Alban Fonblanque ; often
wrote; articles in the Examiner six times be
fore he thought them fit to go to pria, and
sometimes ten
_times over. - Hepworth Dixon,
it is said, - wrote his "Two Queens" eighttimes.
That exquisite trifle
, of Kinglake's, ''Etthen"
Was rewritten , five or six times, and kept in his
desk almost as long as Wadsworth kept; "The
Doe of .Rylstone," and kept like that, to, be ta
ken out for Tevision ' and correction almost ev
ery day. And that is the way in which good,
honest work—work that is to be read tb-mor
row, and the day after to-mortow—must be
+written. Scotts and Scribes only turn up once
in a century. •
HOW THE TELEPHONE:OPERATES.
As -the telephone, the new invention of
Professor A. Graham Bell,is bnt little iunder
stood, the following reprint of ,a description
and explanation of the instrument mayinot be
amiss _ • •
The =telephone in its present form Consist
Of a pOwerful compound, permanent magnet,
to the poles of which are attached ordinary
telegraph cells of insulated wire. In front of
the poles, surrounded by these coils of svire, is
placed a diaphragm of iron. A mouthpiece - to
converge the sound upon this diaphragm sub
stantially completes the arrangement:: The
motion of steel or iron in front of the Poles ot .
a magnet creates a current of eleetriCity in
coils surrounding the poles of 'the magnet, and
the duration of this current of eleCtricity
coincides with the duration of the notation of
the steel or iron moved or vibrated •in the pro
mixity of the magnet. When the human
.voice
causes the diaphragm to vibrate, electrical nn-•
. dulations are induced in the coils environing
the magnets precisely analogous to the undula-:
tions of the air produced by that voice. These
coils are connected with the line wire, which ,
may he of any length, provided the inaulation
be pod. The undulations which are introduc
ed in these coils travel through the line wire,
and, passing through the coils of an instru
ment of precisely similar construction at the
distant station, are again resolved . into, tin
dniations by the diaphragm of this' instru
ment.

JUVENILE DEPRAVITY IN PRANCE.

Carefully selected barks, roots and herbs,and so strong
ly concentrated, that it, will effectually eradicate from
the system every tint Of Scrofula, Scrofulous humor,
Tumors, Cancers, Cancerous Humor ' Ey rslpeLis, Salt
Rheum, Syphitic Diseases, canker, faintness at the
stomach. and all diseases that arise from impure blood,
sciatiac. inflammatory. and - chronic rheumatism, neu
ralgia, gout and spinal complaints, can only be effec
tuallybe cured through the blood. _
For ulcers and eruptive diseases of the skin, pus.
Mules, pi mines, blotches, boils. tetter, scald-head and
ring-worm, VEGETINE has never failed to effect per
mantnt cures.
For pains in the back, kidney eomplaints,iiropsy,
female weaknesses, lencorrluea, arising from internal
ulceration, and uterine diseases and general debility,
VEGETINE acts directly upon .the causes of these
complaints. It invigorates and strengthens the whole
system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflame
tion, cures ulceration and regulates the bowels'. •
For catarrah, dyspepsia, habitual costiveness, pal
patation of the heart. Leadache, piles, nervousness and,
general prostration of the nervous system; no medicine
has given such satisfaction as the VEGETINE. It
purifies the blood, cleanses all the °Mans, and possess
es a controling power over the nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by VEGETINE have
induced many physicians and apothecaries whom we
know to prescribe and use it in their own families.
In fact, VEGETINE islhe beat remedy yet discover..
ed for , the above diseases,and is the only reliable blood
puntier yet placed_be fore the publit.

Relics, Mass., Jan:LIM.
Mn. H. R. STEVENS, Dear Sir—We have good reason
for regarding your Vegetine a medicine of.the greatest
value, We feel assured that it has' been the means of
saving oar son's life. He is now. seventeen years of
age ; for the last two years he has suffered from necro
sis of hisleg, caused .by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all, who saw him thought re
covery impossible. A council of physicians could_
giveus but the taintest hope of his ever rallyino , , two
of the number declared that he was beyond the reach of
human remedies, that even amputation, could not save
him as he Irid not vigor enough to endure the opera
tion. Just-then we commenced - giving' him Vegetine,
and from that time to the present he•has lieen.conotant
ly impreving. He has lately resumed his studies.
thrown away his crutches and cane, and walks about
cheerfully and strong. . .
"Though there is still some discharge . from • the open
ing where the limb was lanced, we havethehillest eon
ildende that. In a little time he will be, perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vegetine;
but lately uses but little. as he declares that he is too
well to be taking medicine,
• Respectfully Yours, • E. S. BEST. ''
MRS. L. C. F. BEST,
ALL DISEASES
_OF, THE 13L-QOD
If Iregetine will felievepain, cleanse, purify all such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after,
trying different pnyslcluns. many remedies suffering
for years, is it not conclusive proof, if yoa• are a suf•
ferer, you cat. be cured ? Why is this medicine per
forming such great .cures_? It works in the blood, in
the eirculatinz fluid. It can truly called the GREAT
BLOOD PURIFIER: The great source of disease 'or
iginates in the blood ; and no medicine that does not
act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any
just claim upon public atteition. • •
RECOMMENDED IT HEARTILY.
Mn. STEVENS ': Dear Sir—l have taken fa everal bot
tles of your Vegetine, and am convinced it 18 valuable
remedy for Dys.pepsia; liidney Complaint, and general
debility of the system.
