Baaaath the climbing mass.
And gravely sews in a half-dream
The dainty mas area of bar seam
Until the twilight ale*!*.
I look and long, yet have no ansa
To break bar maiden moaing ;
l idly toss my book away.
And watch bar psatay fingsse stray
t their task confusing.
The daws fall, and the sunset light
Goes creeping o’er the meadows,
And still, with serious eyes oast down,
She gravel/saws her wedding-gown
Among the growing aha lowa.
I needs must gaza, though on bar cheek
The bashful roaae quiver—
She la a» modest, simple, sweet,
That, I poor pilgrim at her feat
Would fain adore forever,
A heavenly peace dwells in hew heart j
Her love la yet half duty,
Serene and serious, still end quaint,
She's partly woman, partly saint,
This Presbyterian beauty.
She is so shy that all my prayers
Scaroe win a few small kisses—
fbe lifts has lovely eyas to mine
And softly grants, with blush divine,
Such slender grace as this is.
I watch bar with a tender care
And joy not free from .eda.ss —
For what am I that should taka
This gentle soil and think to make
Its future days all gladness!
Can I fulfill those madien dreams
In some im perfect fashion 7
I ant no hero, but I know
I love you, Sear—the rest I throw
Upon your sweat eompaamoa.

Treatment of MenlagUia.
Masses. Editobs : Being in receipt of letters
from Shis and adjoining stataa, requesting a state
ment of aay treatment in the diaaara known as
“Carebro Spinal Meningitis,” not having the time
to devote to snewering the communications, I have
thought proper to give a synoptical statement of
my treatment through the eolnms of the secular
press of this city, thereby enabling the profession
to employ the treatment during the present epi
demic in this end adjoining States, which I would
not ba able to communicate through the medical
press in time for the present season. Another
reason is that numerous phyaiciana take no medical
periodical. The following treatment should not be
employed by any one but a skillful physician, as to
such the communication is addressed.
to Tax wanicar. rnorsssiox.
The following treatment which has been employ
ed by me sinoe the winter of 1862—63, with uni
form success, in all cases, whore the treatment has
been institn-ed within twenty-four hoars after the
derelepmeat of the promised symptoms. In the
first p aoe discard all ideas of this disease being an
inflammatory affection of the brain an 4 spinal
eord, saturate a flannel (folded several times) with
spirits of tnrpentina. Apply this along the whole
coarse of the spine, pass orsr this after the ordin
ary mode of ironing, a common aad or smoothing
iron well heated. Continue this for ten or fifteen
minutes, until you have well stimulated the spine
In the meantime give quinine in heroic doses, to
be repeated every two or three hours, until all
symptoms are overcome. Follow each does of
quinine with a heroic 4o*e of bromide of potassium
combined in solution with au ordinary dose of solid
extract Hvoacyarans. The object of the bromide
is to control reflex action, and the dose should be
regulated according to the head and spinal symp
toms, aa this is dependant on electro-mnuie changes
in the periphery of the nerves. From this the ac
tion or the modns operandi of the quit ine and bro
mide will be readily understood by the intelligent
physicians. Under no circumstances use a fly
blister or opiates in the outset of this diftasn
Avoid all cold applications to the head and spine
When constipation exists, which is generally the
ease, use large doses of calomel every three hoars,
until the bowels sot freely. Physicians can rely
on this treatment when instituted in time.

Thk Spskd of Railway Trains is
E vgasi: . interesting details
concerning th. speed of railway trains
in Eug'au i have recently been puhiish-
Ad. Toe average rate of speed at
which the quickest rxpreat train travels
is 47 3 4 miles an hour. But there are
two lines on which th s pace is exeee led.
The ten o'clock train on the Great Nor
thern road reached Pete thorough at
half-past eleven, the distance is 76 1 4
miles, »nd the pace 51 miles an hour.
The quarter to twelve train on the
Gre t Western nukea the run to Swin
don, 77 1-5 miles, without stopping,
and does it in 1 hour and 27 minutes, or
at the rate ot 53 1-4 miles an hour.
There are a number of other roads
which make runs at the rate of from 45
to 52 miles an hour, but the journey
from London to Bath by the quarter to
twelve train is the qaickest in the
world. The distance in 107 miles, and
it is done in 2 hours and 13 minutes,
including a stoppage of 10 minutes at
Swindon. Tbe actual time in travaling
is 2 hours and 2 minuets, sometime over
52 miles au hour.
Governor Washburn, in his late mes
sage to the Legislature of Wisconsin,
holds that under the Constitution the
people are absolute matters of every
railway in th-: State. Corporate powers
in the United States are vast and over
shadowing, he says, and a just cause of
alarm; but, if Wisconsin railroads op
press the people, the Legislature can,
if they will, always protect the public,
who. on their part, car. always control
the Legislature. This is an advanced
position and is likely to create consid
erable attention and discusson in the
