!-• COMING SPRING.
.10ypusivoices sing
Songs of, comb* spring,
Bow sweet the sound, how pure the melody
Bchogs in the air
Nature everywhere
Long winter-bound, is struggling to he tree.
Every breeze that blows, -
With incense overflows,
As slow the vagrant boy appears again ;
Herds upon the hill
Wandei ing are still
Entranced by fragrant odors frere die plain.
Nbisesi in the wood
Break tbe solitude
Whisperings tell of , bailor days to came
Waters, fierce and strong,
Join the vernal song,
Low murmurs swell, and drowsy insects
Meadows wet with dew
Flowers peeping through, ..
Bright jewels rare. sweet Nature's breast
adorn ;
Pluck them while ye may, .
Soon they pass away
And faded' as before . the coming Morn.
A NEW AND. BRILLIANT. LIGHT.
A new inventign, of a simple and practical
nature, ha&of late been successfuly applied in
several places in Germany and France. ,The
system consists of electric candles, or , sticks of
charcoal, surrounded biisolationmatter, which
gradually consumes, leaving the chareoal.free
like a wick, which, slowly melts away undtr
the brilliant glow of electricity. With two
such candla a light equal to that of oue hun
dred gas jets may be thrown on the street. An
electro-magnetic machine can keep burning
twenty of these electric candles. The, Erfekler
Zeitung gives the following account by an eye
witness ot the working of this mode fit light
ing in the machine fact'ry ot the Brothers
Meer, at Gladbach :
"Thc great building was enveloped in 'total
darkness when we ,entered. Soon after one of
the proprietors :ighted the small developing
aPparatus, in size not longer than thirty inches
and in height not more than sixteen . inches;
As soon as it was set in operation, by a small
steam-power with which it was connected by
&belt, the immense machine-room was instan
taneously lit up as bright *as day. At the en
trance. of the same there was to be seen one
lamp; at a height of fifteen or sixteen feet,
which gave out a, most brilliant and steady
light. 'lt was so clear that the finest shades, of
indigo-dyed silks could be easily distinguished.
The electric light was distributed in such,a
manner, through the agency of a mirror, that
a long stay irr the room is no wise injwiously
affected the eyes. On going into the garden an
electric lantern, suddenly lighted, illuminated
the whole neighborhood to such a degree that
at one hundred feet very fine print could be
readoirid at two hundred and fifty feet larger
and ordina:ry chstacters were plainly legible.
Of the wonderful properties of this electric
light we had the clearest proof, and we were
further pleased to learn that in this establish
ment the cost is estimated at a fourth to a sixth
of gas light. In large rooms, halls, ,public
squares and streets the electric light, before
long, insure to take the place gas as' an illu
minating agent. in France it is rapidly grow
ing in favor, and is In operation in forty estab
lishments. The immense depot of the Chemin
de Per du Nord at Paris, is also.:about to be
lighted by this' same tlectrie siatem. Thde is
no danger whatever of fire from it, which gives
it an immeasurable advantage over all other
means of The Paris engineer
:Granime, and the Chief Engineer`Van Heferier
• Alieneck, of the firm of Siemens-lialske, in
Berlin, were theifirst who constructed the new
electro-magnetic: machines, by means ot which
a pleasing mechanical power is converted in a
sim practical. manner lute electric light.
pleand
This invention is one of the most remarkable
of•modern times.
"Out•door work can, be carried on by night
as weii as by day, :with this light, as it expels
the darkness and fills- the atmosphere with an
almost •suti,like lustre. In the lighting of cities
by this new process, tneeconotny, comparedwith *to, will be ,
- per Cent. Neale
evidently on the eye of as great a revolution in
lighting as when gas imperseded oil .lamps and
tallow eindles."--rbil'ii. Prem.

NORWEGIAN WEDDINGS.
Norwegian weddings ate, as a rule, attended
with a great deal of pomp and ceremony.
Among the rural population a wedding fre
quently lasts from twee to six days ; if the
bride is rid), kinsmen and friends are summon
ed from tar and near, and amid firing of _guns,
shouting and music of violins, -the mlry pro
cession starts for the church. The bride wears
a silver crown (usually an heirloom in her
family) very elaborately wrought and hunt. all
around with small gilt disks; her linen is clasp.
ed in the throat by a large silver brooch of
Orions workmanship, and her bossom adorned
with other ornaments of the same metal. in
the ijord districts the company proceed to the
church in boats; while in the interior patishes
the bride and groom head the procession on
)I . orseback. At the, church door the master of
teremonfes greets them with well prepared
speech, and as soon as they return to the.bridal
house as man and wife the merriment breaks
'out, in real earnest. Formerly brawls and even
bloody fights were of no rare occurrence on
such occasions ; and it is even told that . in the
last century wives were in the habit of bring
ing shrouds for their husbands in their band
boxes, counting the chances of their being
killed as. on the whole, predominating. Now,
however, the nineteenth century` barium& sad
havoc amon4 the primitive customs and tastes
of the 'Norsemen ; and, a man's chances of. get
ting killed are, I believe, smaller ip Noiway
than almost anywhere else on the globe. Pri

CURRAN AND THE JUDGE
Amongthe many adecdotes related
. of Curran
we cannot' help thinking.' the '.f6lloWing, bear-.
Ing upon the impertinence' and assumption of
Judge Robinson; as among the most telling
and 'characteristic attacks of uttpremeditated
satire upon "Woated empiric" and:"puffed pre
tence," that ever even Curran afforded to the
world: Thit same Judge Robinson, according
to Lord Brougham; "was . the author of many
stupid; slavish, and scurrilous political pam A -
lets ; and; by his demerits, .raised to the e i
nence whichhe . thus disgraced." Curran, Very
soon after being called to . the BAT, on sonic
statement ,made by Judge Robinson
. (betOre,
whom he was pleading), observed that "he had
never met the law, as laid. down by his Lord
ship,, in any book •in his , library." "That May
be, , Sir," said the Judge i "but I suspect 'that •
,your library is very sinall." Curran 'replied,
"I dud it more instructive, my Lord, to study
good. works than to. compose .bad ones. My '
books maybe few, but' the title 7 pageS give me
writer's names, and my shelf is not disgraced
by any such. rank absurdities' that, their very,
authort are ashamed to own . them." . 'Sir,"
said the judge, "yon .are forgetting the respect
Willa you owe :to the dignity of : the judicial
character" "Dignity !" exclaimed Mr. curian ;
"my lord,: that point I 'shall cite yon a
case 'from 'a
book of some authority, with which
you are,:perbaps,.nbt unacquainted." .11e then
briefly recited the story of Strap in "Roderick
Random,' who, having stripped off his coat to
fight, entrusted it to a bystander. When the
battle was over, and lie was well beaten, he
turned to resume it, 'but the man had carried It
off. Mr. Curran thus applied the 'tale:=--"So,'
ray lord', when the person entrusted 'With the,
dignity of the judgment-seat lays it aside for a
moment to enter into a disgraceful personal
contest, it is in vain, when he. has been worsted
in theencounter, that he : seeks to resume it—it
is in vain that he tries to shelter himself behind
an authority which behaa abandotned." "lt
yon say another word I'll commit you," replied
the angry Judge ; to which - Mr.. 0. retorted ,
"It your lordship will do so, 'we shall bOtk of
us have the consolation of reflecting that I a in
nut the worst thins your lordship has (=lat:

HYDE PARE, M.ses.i Feb. 15, 1876.
Kn. 11. R. STEVENS : I
Dear Sir—About. ten years ago nly health failed
through the depleting sffeeta of dyspi,psia ; nearly a
year later I was attacked by typhoid fever in it s worst
form, i. settled in me back and took the, form of a
large deep-seated'abscess, which was fifteen months in
gathering.. I had twe surgical operations, by the best
skill in the St-..te but received no permanent cure. I
suffered great pain urtimei and was constantly weak
ened by a profuse discharge. I also lost pieces of bone
at different times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May. 1874,
when a friend recommended me to go to your o ffi ce and
talk with you on the virtues of Vegetine. I did so,
'and by your kindness passed through your manufactory
noting the ingredients, ete.. by which your remedy is
produced.
By what I saw and heard I gained some confidence in
Vegetice.'
commenced taking- it soon , alter. but felt worse
from its effects,; still I persevered and soon telt it was
benefiting me in other respects. - Yet I did not pee the
result I desired, till! had taken lt l faithfully for a little
more than a year, when the difficulty in the back was
cured, and for nine months I have , enjoyed the best of
health. _
I hare in that time gained twenty-five pounds of
flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and
was never more able to Perform laboritan now.
During the past few wfeks I had a scrofulous swell
lug as large as my fist gather on another part of my
body, .. • -
took Vegetilie faithfully and it , removed it • level
with the surface in a month. V think I should*, "lave
bten cured - of my main trouble sooner- if .1-had taken
largerdoses, after having become acctistomod to its ef
fects.
`..Let Your 4iatrOns troubled' with leerofulS or kidney
diseasexndees tend that it , takes ' lime' to cure ehrrnic
diseases, and if Ahoy. Will. patiently. take Vegetinc, it
will, in myzjudgment l mire them. „ •
