" - ~ ? Milton's Blindness. t [From the Columbia Phoenix.1 We should have been pleased to reeeive the "friendly criticism" of R. T. G * upon the authorship of the fine poem, < "Old and Blind," which appeared in the J Phoenix last Sunday, with the accompanying statement that it had been included ? in a recent Oxford edition of Milton's < Works. This statement was copied, with- , out the poem itself, from some exchange. < It is net unfamiliar to us, and we were 1 aware that itww an error to attribute it 1 to Milton. We hri indebted, however, to the researches of R. T. G., for the inform!? ?... wnrlr nf A vnnntr Iftdv . WVU Miat iw new ?HV ?? v* w- w j ? Q ^ of Philadelphia. It may have originated , from the remark of Charles II., in the shape of a question to the Duke of ' Tone, "Is be sot old and blind?" but i we have always supposed that it was , suggested by the noble invocation to . light, in the opening of the third book ' of Paradise Lost. Milton has made a i sublime and pathetic use of the circum- , stances of his blindness, and Gray, in a kplendid poetipdescription of its cause, 1 has attributed ft to "excess of light," en 1 countered in exploring the secrets of the ] other world. It will be interesting to' { compare the paaags to which we have re ferred with the poem, which is so like it 1 U1 spu Ik . ' Hail, holy Light! offspring of fleaven first- t born, ' g Or of the eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unhlamed * Since God is I( light, i And never but in unapproaobed light 1 Dwelt froa eternity, dwelt then in thee. t Bright effluence of bright essence increate; ***** 8 Thee I revisit safe, ^ And feel thy sovereign vital lamp, but theu ] Bevisit'st not these eyes, that roll in vain v To lad thy piercing ray, and And no dawn; ^ 80 think a drop serene hath quenched their erbs, ?

If the sun were a mere quantity of matter very much larger than the earth, as we see he is, there would stfll not be the force necessary to (he sun as a ruler over the earth. Lei me give you an idea of how large the sun is. I am in the habit hi England, when I wish to speak of the sise vi the sun, of informing my audience that this country, (England) in which we live, which seems to us so large, is nevertheless very small by comparison with the earth, for if the earth were one inch in diameter, England wooUl be a small triangular speck which you could scarcely recognise.? Bat I am afraid that to an American audiencrfhst comparison would be imperfect. In fact, I have heard that au American traveling in England found the orantry so small that he at once i th? wntral counties, and was t even then afraid to go jut in the eve- ^ ning for fear of falling off the little island. (Laughter.) ''We, en England, whether it be the t natural courage of our disposition or | the effect of long habit, are not troa- ' bled with-that feeling. But yet, Ameri- i ea ia no small compared with the suu} that if there were a spot npon the sun t as large as the whole of America, it t would be quite invisible to the uaked t eye. Indeed, if an object as large as ^ the earth were placed immediately be- Q fore the sun, and there appeared as a black dine, rt would nevertheless require ^ a large telescope to make it visible; 107 timee does the sin's diameter ex- tj ceed that of the earth, and the surface of the ion exceeds that of the eart 107 times 107 times, or 11,000 times, while f< the volume of the sun exceeds that of ' the earth tf25U,UW times, uut me m*? of the sun i9 not so much greater a than the earth. It would appear as < though the body of the inn were conati- b tuted of matter about a quarter light- ti er on an average tban that which constitutes the earth, and the result is that w the sun's mass, instead of exceeding g the mass of the earth, 1,260,000 times, ^ only exceeds it 316,000 times; but only consider 4hat that means! If this hi earth were to grow in density until its m ?t#Wfn qogl to tUt <rf (b IUD, bl 9 hen a half-ounce weight?one of those fhich are used to balance our lettersrould weigh 4| tons. A man of average weight would be drawn to the jarth at a weight of 20,000 tons.? "object raised from the earth a single inch would, in falling that short iistance, acquire a velocity three times greater than that of an express train. Such is the might with which the *sun rules this earth." Mr. Finlay's New Head of Hair. ?Here is something remarkable : A woman in New Haven was recently bereft of her scalp by the idiosyncra* *- i l-u rri. _ nes ot a snait ana oeu. iuc uwwiu jaw that to remedy the evil they would iave to resort to transplanting, and so they actually succeeded in getting a sufficient number of pieces from other people's heads to give this unfortunate voman a new scalp. We hope those Sew Haven doctors used more discretion than did he who attended a man lamed Finlay, who met with a similar iccident in Oriskany, N. Y,, some thirteen years ago. Bits of scalp from teventeen different persons were se;ured by this doctor, and adroitly ititched to the head of Mr. Finlay.? Arhen it was done, people came miles o see Finlay's head, and Finlay himaIiaaIfaw ovoninm >CU) THU U1B VUCVUU "k'VOi u vi uiuwuij vas the happiest man in Oriskany.? 3ut when the capillary glands got in rorking order, and the hair commened to grow, the top of the man's lead presented the most extraordinary ppearance on record. The doctor, who ras about half the time in liquor, had onsulted expediency rather than judgment, and secured that new scalp rithout any reference to future develpments. We never saw anything like t. Here was a tuft of yellow hair, nd next to it a bit of black, and then flame of red, and a little like silk, nd more like tow, with brown hair, nd gray hair, and sandy hair, and ream-colored hair scattered over his ntire skull. And what a mad man "inlay was, and nobody could blame lim. He would stand up against the >arn for an hour at a time and swear. t was very fortunate that the doctor ras dead. He went off two weeks beore with blue ague, which is a sort of nild disease. Finlay kept his hair cut hort, but that didn't make any differmce. Then he tried dyes, but they >nly-made matters worse. Then he jot a wig, and this covered up the leformiiy; but sometimes at church he proilld get asleep, and the wig would fall off and make the children cry.? Once at the County fair he fell asleep md the wig dropped off, and the Committee on Domestic Goods, when they jame around, stood in front of Finlay's head for some time in rapt delight.? rhey then immediately decided that it was the most ingenious piece of patchwork in the list, and never discovered the mistake until they attempted to -2? ? ???i 1 a?

On winding n the cable unusual resistance was experienced. After persevering, the )ody of an immense whale, entangled in he cable, was brought to the surface, bund to be firmly secured by 2 J turns >f the cable immediately above the ail. Sharks and other fish had parially eaten the body, which was rapidy decomposing, the jaws falling away >n reaching the surface. The tail measired 12 feet across, was perfect, and overed with barnacles at the extremiies. Apparently the whale was, at he time of engtanlement using the cable o free itself from parasites, such as arnacles, which anuoy them very such, and the cable hanging in a loop ver a submarine precipice, he probaly with a fillip of his tail twisted it round him, and thus came to an unimely end. Two Irishmen were in prison? one )r stealing a cow, the other for tealing a watch. "Hallo, Mike, and ore, what o'clock is it?" said the cow tealer. "An sure," said the watch tealer. "I've no time piece handy, at suppose it's jist about milking me." . i A little boy was recently presented 1 ith a toy trumpet' to which he became reatly attached. One night when s was about to be put in his "little sd/' and was ready to say his prayers I e handed the trumpet to his grand- < lother saying.* j"Here gran'ma you tow while I pray." |] "Kid Necks"?The New Femali Deceit.?It is really no wonder thai the "opposite sex" occasionally bursl forth into plaintive reproach, and up braid false fair ones for the man} means resorted to in order to deceiv< thenh For, in the contest for the priz< awarded by Paris to the most beauti ful, deceits are invented and boldlj worn, such as are sometimes almost to< astounding for belief. Years ago w< remember hearing of a French singe] at a cafe chantant, whose husband, 01 being complimented upon the dazzling fairness on his wife's neck, lifted off i pair of shoulders of painted wax so ar ranged as to be easily adiustible!? o ? But that any of our belles should con sent to the paltry deception of wearing kid necks, made in Berlin and in Parii and sent, with a vast mystery, to thi beauty, ambitious of a full, round necl and shoulders, is something that almos needs to be ''seen to be believed."? Yet this is done. Let us fancy meetin< one at a ball, whose tuttle scarf, dex terously wrapped about the throat ant carelessly thrown back so as to forn pendent ends over her back, serves on ly to soften^the gloss and enhance th< symmetfy of what seems to her daz zled observer a superb pair of shoulders Fancy him discovering afterwards when said lady has become a bride that those shoulders were but a drear ?made of kid! That is worse than nightmare, and it would seem that even a very Bayard could hardly say ''False one I love thee still!" A Singular Custom.?There ha been some excitement of late about th case of a shepherd in Somersetshire (Eng.) who was sentenced in the sum mer to six months hard labor for Stealing hia maefpr'a lamba. TTia rlpfpna. was that the lambs were "surplus' lambs?the results, that is to say, o some exceptional fecundity on the pari of ccrt^n ewes?and that they were t customary shepherd's perquisite. Th< evidence before the magistrates, wen against the existence of the custom and the shepherd was convicted ac cordingiy; His return to liberty wa made the occasion of a demonstration and the man was presented with i purse of money, to which, it is said Mr. Morley, M.

'I'm real glad you obliged me," said the daughter of Eve to the exasperated conductor. "My husband used to live here."

Walker's California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower \ ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicifial properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparnllelpd snrep.as of VINEGAR BIT- 1 TiRSf" Oar answer is, that they 1 romov& the cause of disease, and * the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier aud a life-giving principle, a perfect Kcno- ' vator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Via- i boar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are i a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, 1 relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. WalkBr's Vinbgab Bittbrs are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thonsands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system." No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their Rrtnao am nnf daofrncail }ht mineral wuvw m1w uuv uvwv1 SJJ vv4 wj wiuvkm* poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Hitters, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulation the secretions of Jho liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Hitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus ioro-armed. Dysperoia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, UoukLs, Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the ( Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kidneys, nod a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled . Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affections. Old Sores. Emotions of the Skin. Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, "Walker's Vinegar Bittkbs have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and 1 intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic It lieum nt ism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases 1 of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, ' these Bitters have no equal. Such Dis- I eases are caused by Vitiated Blood. < Mechanical Diseases.?Persona engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as i PI um hers, Ty pe-settere, Gold - beaters and 1 Miners, as they advance in life, are sub- ] Ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard ] against this, take a doso of Walker's j > in eg a r Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheuin,Blotches, Spots, Pim- j pies, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipe- . las, Itch, Scarfs, Discolorations of the . Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of J whatever name or nature, are literally ' dug up and carried oat of the system in a bhort time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousasds. aro effectually destroyed and re- ^ moved. Ko system of medicine, no ver- 1 miftiges, no anthelminitics will free the 1 system from worms like these Bitters. / Por Female Complaints, in young < or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Ton- I ic Bitters display so decided an inflaence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood i whenever yon hud its imparities banting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptione, J or Sorei; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when.
