With her lintr unbound and falling, Like a inantl'j totbelloor. There ?be sits among the treasures, For the last lime looks them o'er. One by one she rends each letter, Then consigns it to the Name; From its cai-e she takes a picture, And her white lids close in pain. For the face smiles out upon her As of ohl it used to do, Ere that hitler hour of parting. When each spoke what was not true. Trembling lingers slowly ela?p it, Drop it on the embers red. Ne'er again will she behold it, For the lace to her is tlead. There are violets in the casket, And a lock of suit dark hair. There are books and little trinkets <Ynd tbo ring she used to wear. In the litellglil, while they're burning, Li't in lai.ey or a d'c;nn That again she sees (lie river And the old familiar scene.

Then why doesn't somebody drama tize tho Radical parly. ?A colored Hancock and English club has been formed in Montgomery, Ala., which already numbers 200 members and is growing. ?At Whitslonc, L. I., Gen. Ab bott placed the name of a private sol dier on the black list for thirty days because bo hurrahed for Hancock. ?The paragraph going the rounds about, an ex-Confederate soldier weep ing over Stonewall Jackson's corps in the treasury ofUon at.Washington is a hoax. .?It is i great piece of folly for a man to bo always ready to meet trou ble half way. If he would put all the 'ourncv on trouble he might never meet it at all. ?When 3*ou call tt Connecticut man a liar ho tuny hit you on the nose or he may wail and poison your cow. Ifc is this uncertainty which makes the nutinegcrs civil to each other. ?Mr. John McCullongh finds in the South a keener appreciation of Shakespeare than in the North. The stalwart organs will be writing Shnk Bpcare down as a "rebel brigadier" if this story sptcads. ?When old Snubbins died one week after his wife bad gone over the river, he asked as a special favor that he Ik; buried at her bead, lie said, be had been under her foot ever since he married. ?Mrs. Christianity, it is said, will not insist upon the S1?0 a month ali mony, but will soon many the lover who at the time of her mart'Uv.'C with 1he Michigan Senator, promised to wait until?the present moment. ?When, upon enquiry after a young lady's health, we learn from her own lips that she is "nicely," wcj kuow that she was born in New Eng- J land, and that she would he "pnrty well" out West, and "tolerable" in the South. ?Rodgcrs, the private secretary of Mr. Hayes, is looking around for another situation. Any person want ing a steady, sober man, who writes a good hand and also poetry, should apply at the White House, l'leasc day where you Raw this intimation. ?This is a big country. The other day the dispatches contained little items about sunstrokes, freezing to death, floods, cyclones, vessels be calmed, snow storms, deluges and droughts, all picked up that day from different corners of Uucle Sam's little farm. ?An ngeu colored man, hastening homo from church, was asked why he was in such a hurry. "Oh, nothin' pcrtiklar, boss," was his answer, "only I jess hncrd at nicctin' dat Sam Johnson's fell from grace, and I thought I'd get right home as soon its I could and lock up my chickens. Dat's all." ?Boston is bound to be ahead. Emma Abbott's kiss is equal fo the oxplosion of a 'soda fountain ; but Boston has beaten it. One of her handsomest young actors succeeded in ge'ting in an osculation that made a sleeping man in the audience nwake and think that a servant with ft tray of dishes had fallen down a flight of stairs upon a lot of old stove pipe.

In miasmatic dis tricts, tbo rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassituuo. loss of appetite, pain In tha back and loins, and coldness of tho spine anil extremities, are only nrcrnoni tfons of severer symptoms which termin ate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, nr sonic, and other poisonous minerals form t ho basis of most of the V Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifics," "Syrups," and M Tonics," in the market. The prep arations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave tho malarial and their own drag poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in tho cars, hoauacho, vertigo, and other disorders moro formidable than the diseaso they were intended to care. Avbr's Aouf. Cork thoroughly eradicates those noxious poisons from tbo system, and always cures tho sovercst cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure tho most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to euro, is that it leaves tho system as freu from disease as before tho attack.
