LOVE’S EDEN LAND. Br FLORENCE BERGER. Could 1 set sail on an emerald sea— Set «ail forever—my love with me, Till I found Love's island, that blooms afar, In the shadow of skies that are never cold, Neath a silver moon that never grows old, And the purple light of his own sweet star 1 Beyond the trouble of waves and winds, And the thinnest vapoury veil that blinds The silent face of the white, wan moon — Love built him an altar for evermore On the flowery hills of a golden shore. When the world was weary, one night in June. There the air is dulcet with harmonies; White blossoms are thick on the changeless trees; Pale lights float by on the perfum'd mist; Aud roliiug over a golden sand, A river goes singing about the land, taint color d and fair, like the amethyst. The fair young year never knows decay; i he odorous night never grows to day; The beam never fad^s of that pale, pure star; The rose dies not, aud the lily lives tor ever, and ever new perfume gives. O love! wilt thou sail for that land afar J Wilt thou sail with me, ere the daylight glides Out into the west, o'er the crimson tides, And the far-off song of the reaper swells Through wooded valley, and upland, and lea, To mix with the ebb and flow of the sea, And the airy clamour of phantom bells ? There is no place in this world of change — here the earth forgets and the sky grows strange, Aud the worm lies coil’d round the bud In its shell And youth fades—even as fade the flowers lie twines through his tresses in festal hours — For Love, with his eyes, and his wings, to dwell. O love! ere the star of the eve be born, Wilt thou sail with me from this land forlorn, Where the tempest roars, and the wind prevails; And plows the billows for evermore. Till we gain the waters of that sweet shore Where Death never furl'd his gloomy sails ? HEALTH DEPARTMENT. B! J.YO STAIN-BACK WILSON, M.

A tea made of the lining membrane of a chicken’s gizz ird, has l>een long known as a domestic remedy for sick-stomacb. Its virtues are doubtless due to (he pepsin, or digestive fluid contained in the membrane; and as it is perfectly safe, and is easi ly prepared, it may well lake the place of the nau seous, and often irritating drngs, commonly resor ted to in such cases. All that is necessary in its preparation is to strip off the lining of the gizzard, wash it lightly in cold water, and then put it into a common tumbler, which should then be half filled with cold water. This infusion is slightly bitter, but uot unpleasant to the taste; and, no doubt, has fully a3 much virtue in dyspepsia and vomiting, as the costly preparations of pepsin and pancreatine, sold by the druggists. 1 have found it useful in several cases of obstinate vomiting; and the truth is, in most of these cases, all that is necessary or prop er is some such simple, natural remedy as this, with perfect rest, in these cases, generally THE MOKE MEDICINE THE WORSE THE PATIENT. Ip many cases, especially those of women, the mind has much to do with the trouble, and tbere- nature of the remedy. In this way a double advan- fore it would be well for the patient not to know the tage may be gained by avoiding any feeling of dis gust, and having the aid of faith, which is often more effective than the drugs commonly resorted to in such cases. This end is fully accomplished by giving the name under which it has recently been introduced to the medical profession—“ Ingluvin. Price $1 per bottle.” Yet, after all, there is about as much danger of getting choked on the name as there is of being nauseated at the thought of taking the raw gizzard of a chicken. VALUE OF LEMON JUICE. A writer in the London Lancet remarks, “ few people know the value of lemon juice. A piece of lemon bound on a corn will cure it in a few days. A free use of lemon juice and sugar will always relieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in the spring, but if they would eat a lemon before break fast every day fpr a week—with, or without sugar as they like—they would find it better than any medicine. Lemon juice used according to this recipe will sometimes cure consumption: Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bring to a boil; boil slowly till the lemons are soft, then squeeze until all the juice is extracted; add sugar to your taste, and drink. In this way use ODe doi- en lemons a day. If they cause pain, or loosen the bowels two much, lessen the quantity and use only five or six a day until you are better, and then begin with a dozen a day. After using five or six dozen, the patient will begin to gain flesh and enjoy food. Hold on to the lemons, and still use them freely several weeks more. ” The above are by no means Homoeopathic doses; but the remedy is a natural and innocent one, and the dose can readily be reduced, as directed, if any disagreable symptoms arise. For coughs I can confidently recommend lemon juice made thick with sugar. The acid softens and thins the mucus which collects about the throat, thus facilitating expectoration, while the sugar soothes the irrita tion of the membrane over which it passes making the cough less frequent and painful. This treat ment is much more safe and pleasant than the use of opiates or nauseants, which often do great harm; the former by checking the cough too sud denly, and the latter by deranging the stomach and the whole system In using lemons for a cold or cough, about a half pint of lemonade, well sweetened, should be taken hot on retiring at night; and if the cough oontinues troublesome, a spoonful of this syrup should be sipped frequently, and slowly swallow ed. Its efficacy will be much increased, if preced ed by a hot foot-bath. TAKING A PILL. The following inimitable and evidently experi mental description of this process, is from the pen of that rare and racy genius, Bridges Smith, of this city. _ | If there is anything in this world that we do in tensely and devotedly hate to do, that thing is to take a pill. By a little apologetic swearing we can manage to worry on a clean shirt occasionally, and by clamping our teeth down hard upon a struggling grin can hunt all over the bare floor on a cold morning for the other sock; but when it comes to taking a pill, we are the most miserable of sinners. The bare thought of swallowing one puts our weak stomach on edge, aud it sickens Digh uuto cramp. As a general rule, you have about three pills to take at a dose. And the pills they make now a days are just about the size of parasol handle knobs. They feel cold and corpsey in your hand, and as you sneakingly drop one down your gaping coat-sleeve, you thank your stars that there are only two more of the nasty things to swallow. jAVhen you get ready, you roll up your sleeves as lif you were preparing for a prize fight, and the saliva collects in yo»r mouth as if anxious for the 1 What, then, shall our correspondent do for the ! dose.

STANDING ROOM FOR YOUNG MEN The following inquiry comes to us from a city clergyman : “/’o the Editor; ‘•Sir: How can our young men find employment? This city and other cities are full, and I know not what to advise our young meu to do to make their living. Particularly am I interested in a young man who has been to college, is willing to take hold of any kind of work, and is withal of fine personal appearence, and yet can find no employ ment which will give him his bread. If he ought to emigrate to the West or South, I would gladly pay his expenses and give him an outfit. I venture to ask you for light on a matter beset, as far as I know, with some difficulty. I am. Sir, respect fully, R. Our reply to this letter must needs be general, for our correspondent does not tell us whether his young friend has natural aptitude for any special calling. Success in life depends upon other con ditions than a fine personal appearance and a col lege education, and these are the only facts which are brought to our attention- What may be the best occupation for one handsome collegian may be the worst for another, and one may succeed under social conditions and in a section of the country where another would fail; go much depends upon natural capacity and the fitness of things. We take it that our correspondent’s frieRd is a type of a very large class of young men, who, after leaving college, are compelled to earn their living, and make their own way in the world. They have cul ture, sometimes deep, oftener superficial; they have no special training for business or profession al life; their available capital is their education—a security on which money-lenders will make no ad vances. They are willing to work; but what shall they do? Where shall they begin? “Education” they reason, “is a powerful lever, and we know how to handle it. Only give us a place to stand, and we can move the world.” Ay ! if the lever be long enough! Our colleges lay the foundations of general culture, and upon these as a base the structure of professional or bus iness success may be raised. A collegian may quote a Greek verse about Hebe’s sandal, but he cannot make shoes. Thecollegcs teach many things that widen a man’s intelligence, discipline his force, and raise his intellectual tone, but they do not teach him how to earn his living. A college graduate can teach school, sometimes well, some times not so well; but without supplemental train ing that is all be can do. In every other occupation he must begin at the botton and serve an appren ticeship. We do not disparage the advantages of an academic education. It has Become the essen tial condition of good workmanship in the highest spheres of human activity. But if men cannot do as well without it as they could years ago, neithar can they do as much with it. Owing to the spread of popular intelligence, the value of a college ed ucation as a working capital for a young man is less than it was fifty years ago, simply because it gives him less vantage ground. The educational lever is a tool in common use. “Only give us a foothold,” plead the handsome collegians. “The lever may be short, but we shall bring to bear the power of earnest purpose. Only give us a place to stand.” Ah! this cry for stand ing room comes from every quarter of the land! Never before have there been so many educated men out of work, out of pocket, out of courage. The lower tiers of every profession and calling are overcrowded with workmen and idlers, who have little to do, and have to fight hard to keep the wolf from the dooi. Valedictorians are becoming bar tenders, and their classmates are taking fares in the street cars. There is a glut of literary labor of the lower grades. From the West as well as the East, from San Francisco and Omaha as well as New York, comes the same cry, “Standing roonj— only give us that!” When Mr. Greedy used to ad vise young men to go West, there was a steady movement of immigration, settlement, and inter nal development, which made success reasonably certain to all who deserved it and to many who did not. A young man who settled in a new town was borne along on the wave of material progress. The rapid expan sum of business and the growth of population of the town gave momentum to his own fortunes. He left behind him ranks that were over crowded and got a foothold somewhere else before the crowd came. Education and energy were forces that came into play at once. While young men abroad were hobbling along in wooden shoes our young men wore winged sandals. But the trans atlantic tide of immigration has ebbed and the cur rents of inter-State migration are running low. There was a temporary suspension of immigration after 1837 and 1857, but it did not have the deaden ing effect of the panic of 1873. Hard times and high taxes are ogres that frighten away immi grants; the surplus population of Ireland has been drained off; Germans are content to remain in a united Germany. The country is still growing, but it is the growth of the oak and not of the mush room. Railroad construction has been suspended in all the Western states except California; agri- caunot find an opening that he likes, let hiffi take the first that he can get, and then keep his eyes open for something better. Grit will tell in the end, for the rough justice of this world finds out, sooner or later, what a man is worth. If he be longs at the top, he will get there; if he belongs at the bottom, he will stay there. There is plenty of room at the top, and standing room can always be found at the bottom for those who are willing to begin low down and fight their way up.—i\. Y. Tribune. TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Quinine and arsenic form the basis of many of the Ague remedies in the market, and are the last resort of physicians aud people who know no better medicine to employ for this distressing complaint.
