When the SUn, Of prosperity 'a shining, And fefman's growing rich every day; When In ease and comfort reclining, And golden success crowns his way, 1 How frntndS will then flock about him! But if Fortune should happen to frown How quickly he'll get the "cold shoul? der," And be "kicked because he is down!" How kindly the world will smile on him When life with its success abound!. How cordially?blandly?'twill greet him' As in pleasure he's riding around! But then let reverses o'erteke him. And friends, both in country and town, Have not a kind word with to oheer him? But all kick him as soon as he's down! Let a man get? position or wealth, (Mattere not by intrigue or by fraud,) The world nods approvingly at him, * And his acts it will loudly applaud; . What though he may be a great villain, With the.simple, the wise, and the clown, While he's up he's a "tip-top fellow"? But they'll kick him if ever he gets down! When a man has plenty of "grornbneks," And he's healthy and festive and guy, He's counted a "bully good chum," then, And the crowd approves nil he mav . say>, ? 4 i But just-let him loose his treasure? Ferohance that his wealth muy' bo gone - hi' . He'll gat to be-nobody quickly. Ana be sure to be ''kicked- when he's down!" What's, the use of being moral or honest, Or strive to be upright and true, For unless a man's got "lots of money," The World's bound to "put him right through!" They'U"go for him, "certain and surely? From the jockey to the priest in "his gown? And all will stand ready to snub him. And "lack him because he is down'" Cmcpzs CarittRA.?A corres? pondent, of, a'' Virginia paper furnishes the following: This disease, now so prevalent throughout this section of country, suggest many anxious inquiries as to its , cause and treatment. We tender ? our ' information, not as mere hearsay, but from practical experiment**'made upon a number of affected fowls, from its incipiency to its termination, and in every instance havo the same cause pre? ^ sen ted themselves. We found in the crop and i intestines of every bird examined several blades of grass, of a characteristic sporadic in its growth, with full evidence of congestion, abundant secretion of acrid mucus and an accumulation of offensive gases, particularly when the grass was present And knowing that spring vegetation possesses laxative properties and very frequently drastic purgative effects, we concluded that a reason? able diagnosis had been reached and a clue to the- real cause of chicken cholera had been deter? mined. But presuming that we had mistaken tue real source of the disease, the treatment adopted has in a very great measure convinced ns that our opinion must be cor? rect, as nearly all of the subsequent cases rapidly recovered by the fol? lowing treatment: Prepared chalk and powdered charcoal equal parts, }>owuered gum camphor ana assa oatida equal parts and - pure car? bolic acid. Mix all' together and give one tea-spoon-f ul rooming and night to ten chiokens, keeping them dry and -warm and moderately well fed. We find this preparation to act as a thorough preventive and should, be given about once or twice coon weak. < It i 8 bad < to be poor. It is a pity a man can't' put in something every time {he hat is haimed in church.' Very often the will has to be taken for the deed. The spirit is willing, the impulses of liberality are strong, but some thing is the matter, with the pocket-book. Editors will have to give orders/ on their delinquent subscribers when they havn t the money; which is nearly every Sunday. Long life in Great Britain is on the decrease, centenarians are much lese frequent than forty years ago, despite Uia?t*^?t$^#<ft, [The 2,000,000 of population in the South-eastern Counties produced I 1.086 nonagenarians, 'but London, with a population of 5*,250,O00, can j only muster 834 persons above the ] 'age df ninty, and Lancashire and Cheshire, with n similar aggregate population, 58G.
