Disappointments.
Half the ills of fife might easily he toned
into blessings if we only knew how to accept
and utibap oor disappointments. There is
an old adage that every pain is instinct with
future good, or words to that effect, and that
if we are wise, and clear-sighted, and level
headed. we may from every bitter pluck
some sweetness.
It often h»ppenß that purposes formed
under circumstances peculiar in themselves
are not altogether in harmony with the bet
ter judgment of the individual, and their
frustration, although vexatious and disap
pointing in a certain degree, shortly assumes
the character of a benefit. As in the case
of a gentleman who had ngreed to accom
pany a (riend to Kurope in the ill-fated
‘•Porumerania domestic affairs intervened
which were of sufficient importance to have
postponed his voyage, but with persistent
determination he overcame the obstacles,
and was on bis hurried way to the steam
ship, passage paid, when he was checked by
a telegram containing tidings of a business
complication requiring immediate and per
sonal attention, and because of great force
of will his disappointment was intense. He
was prevented from sailing, and the reader
ean imagine bis fob.requent gratitude.
Debated expectations are the order of the
present day. And the close observer cannot
foil to notice the advantage of philosophic
acceptance over melancholy repining. II
baffled in the pursuit of wealth, heroic en
deavor to retrieve misfortune is certainly
better than wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Perhaps failure will develop unknown qual
ities, jolt into new tracks or channels, and
exhume bidden joys. A hundred instances
might be cited where disasters in business
have been the sole cause* or future successes,
through the lessons taught and the expe
riences acquired. If life, with all its attend
ing train, would inn smoothly from child
hood to the grave, it would be truly lovely )
but it never does, it never will, and it is lor
the interest und happiness oi humanity that
it should not. 'No mortal can escape dis
appointments at one time or unotber, and
they appear in a thousand unwelcome lorms.
T«h* tine coarse is to be so fortified against
their incursions as to receive them in a
proper spirit, and overcome their stings by
a judicious measurement of tbeir concealed
worth.
Aspirations are often nipped which prove
to be the underbrush to n luxuriant growth
of timber. How few there are who cannot
torn backward to some period in their lives,
uDd with the remembrance feel over again
the hurt of a cruel disappointment, cv n
though a decade of years may have come
between—a disappointment which, like the
woodman’s torch, cleared the way to all
present prominence and prosperity. No one
mils can seethe battle ; the smoke
mast hove cleared away before the warrior's
eye beholds the scene.
Hence tire more need of philosophy ; the
reasoning powers should be given full play
We should take a calm, cool, temperate view
of all the incidents, events and calamities of
existence. Never grieve too deeply for what
we eannot help. In cases where individual
hopes and wishes are not reuliaed it would
baldly be amiss to institute an investigation
and learn how far we are ourselves directly
responsible for our disappointments, that we
may avoid the same rocks in the future. II
whys and wherefores are beyond onr grasp
we have only to divest tbe smart of its sting
by suth methods as tbe circumstances war
rant. But m all conditions a cheerful faith
is of the greatest service; and rat ooal
device well employed may transform the
frowns of fortune into a fair wind, and dis
comfiture and disaster into profit and victory.
I Bis is no idle sermon. Let the person who
is brooding aver the collupse of promising
schemes, the non-fulfillment of cherished
dreams, or ineffectual efforts to gain ascend
ancy in some field of labor or aflairs, take
heart and try again Wilh accumulated in
telligence and broader powers. Ten chances
to one lie will come to us a tew years hence
and in the deep sincerity of his soul declare
fciiwelf profoundly thankful for the over
throw of his earlier projects. We are not
all borto sages and Solomons. We have a
native tendency to miscalculations and blun
ders. LesMms are taught as through much
be .tii gund hummering of the iron. An
other truth less realized but of greater con
sequence is, we are ail bomanly given to de
sjMindency, at.d imagination seriously m»g
uifies our evils. A difficulty so palpably
under our own control should receive more
attention. Tbe human mind is sensible when
put to tbe test, and’ in tire majority of in
stances burdens of whatever charucter will
be essentially lightened, contracted and
diminished by looking at them through a
philosophical telescope.
“Y*s,” said the witness, “I de remember

i Every Man Hl# Own Poet.
Tn this economical age. any nnmber of
bonks have been written with such titfff< as
“Every Man His Own Lawver,” “Every Man
His Ore Doctor,” ete- Regulur bred attor
neys and phvstefans are said to like them, as
they tempt fhe nnwary into snch intricate
snarls in mismanaging tbeir business and
«*omnrh« that legitimate hn'inre* gains rather
than Ves in- 'he end. Tb s objection cannot,
hcwevei, be urged aga'n*t works of the char
acter of “Ever? Man Hi« Own Poet.” No
man is imperatively called on th be either a
lawver or a doctor. A lower order of minds
can attend to there branches; bnt every man
is called on to be a poet. For poetry is the
onlv thing that perpetuallv flowers in the
long inn—the only thing trulv Kfe sustaining,
like meat and drink. Perhaps the world
will have to wait long for the genios capable
of writing the full, grand wo r k. But, mean
while, every stray contribution is valuable.
One thing is certain : the law must be larid
down that no man ean hope to be bia own
poet nntil be becomes lovingly engaged in
tbe creation of something beautiful. The
poet is a being who knows how to produce
charming results with skies, and rninhowa,
and young lovers. From thpse premises does
it not logically follow that every one who
would be his own poet must leorn how to
handle a material of kindred charm T Not
that this necessarily implies a rash into pen
and ink and words and metres. Heaven help
the race from such an outcome of the argu
ment I No! words are terribly mulish and
mutinous creatures to marshal into ahape—
worse even than awkward squads to drill.
There are over one hundred thonaand of
them in Worcester’s Dictionary. Imagine
a raw recruit drilling an awkward squad of
one hundred thousand men 1 Then, metres
are just as intractable—subject to every kind
of spring-halt and spavin in an nnpracticed
hand, and given to roll, as Lowell says, like
the bumping of irregular-shaped pumpkins
across a barn floor. The last and most des
perate of all resorts is to writing poetry
Instead of mere bloodless spectres ol words,
tbe thing for the tyro to do is to drive
straight at the inspiring objects themselves,
of which words are at best bnt the labels.
To polish off a little hit of velvety lawn as
a poet polishes his verses—to run through
the dark foliage of a pine or cedar— a wood
bine that will burn like fire in the Autumn
—to Rtndy out bow a tree will tell here, or a
blaze of color there, or a vista yonder—this
ought to make the Adam in his Eden feel a
gratelul sense of kinship tn God himself.
Wbot a benefactor is every man who creates
one little spot of beauty in a village or a
city 1 The Longfellow or Lowell is shut up
in the seclusion of his study, but the works
of thi« poet sun themselves beneath the open
sky. How tbe children bless him I How
tired, anxious man who goes by breathes a
benediction, for one moment at least, of rapt
forgetfulness I Ho much, at least, of the
reign of discord and ugliness is abolished
Now, in some such way as this, every man
and woman ought to be each his own poet
Creating beauty, they become beautiful
themselves. Not in utter nakedness, but
•‘trailing clouda of glory,” do they henceforth
arise before tbe imagination of all who love
them, nnd every fragrant rose.bu9b, fold of
velvet grass, sceut of lily, song of bird, shel
ter of tree, becomes tbe element of their vis
ible environment. This is the way for people
to feel nnd look—young, fond and happy.
Wherever they learn the blissful secret of
making their image shine in some such trans
figured light on one another, there will the
husband continue devoutly to worship tbe
wife, and the wife the husband.
Theory and Practice.
A newspaper man, possibly actuated by
jealousy of the success ol Burdette, has con
cocted this story übout hitn :
An Eastern man, a subscriber to tbe Bur
lington Hawkeye, has been intensely interest
ed, during the winter, by tbe letters which
Burdette, the humorist, has written home to
that paper. Most of all was he affected by
the many references which the writer made
to the babies whom he met upon the trains
in his travels. Every line in this connection
breathed sentiments of tenderest love for tbe
little creatures.
“Ah," roused the Eastern man, “wbat a
noble fellow this is. I should know he was
a father himself, and that his own buby was
bis greatest source of joy."
Last week the Eastern man chanced to be
in Burlington, and something impelled him
to call upon tbe man who bi d delighted him
so often with his expressions of fatherly af
fection. As he approached the house in
which be had been informed the humorist
with the tender heart lived, lie noted an open
window, through which tbe form of a man,
bending over a desk and busily writing, could
be seen. The Eastern man was about to
ring, when be was petrified by bearing a
great crash, followed by o man’s voice, io
accents of the wildest description, ejaculat
ing :
• Now, there yon go! I knew yon’d haul
that ink ODto yourself, vou young scampi
Here I Mis. B —somebody—everybody—
come and take this borriule little wretch
away I I’d like to know how you think
a feller is going to write anything with a
baby everlastingly hanging around. O, yes,
now, yell—that’s right—whoop it upl—oh,
go it ( There—’sb, ’sh, busby, bushy I Dry
up, or I’ll—oh, won’t somebody come aod
put this volcano out T There, Mrs. 8., take
him, give him a barrel of laudanum, and if
you don’t keep him out of here io tbe future
I’ll swap him off for a br indie purp—daoged
if i dou’t I"
Tbe nerveless hand of tbe Eastern roan
dropped from tbe bell-pull, and be bad just
strength enough left to stagger across the
street, where be sat dowo on a stoop and
fanned himself with a piece of lath until be
revived. Tbeo he took tbe first train for
home. <*
“A kiss,"’ said young Charles, “is s noun we
allow;
But tell me, my dear, is it proper or com
mon ?"
Lovely Mary blushed deep and exclaimed,
“Why, I vow,
f think that a kiss is both proper aod
common.”
Warm weather is on the eve of breaking
out in the Southern States, sod the editor
who eschews politics already cautions tbe
parents of small boys to build their water
melon patches on the roofs of tbeir bouses
and carry the key et the skylight in tbeir
pocket.
II®W the Battle-ground In the
Wilderness Looks.
I went over the Wilderness route, writes a
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
in sight almost all the way of tbe leading
road# on which Lee's army had moved out
from behind tbe Rapidan to strike Grint in
the line of march for Richmond. At that
time no railroad existed through the Wilder
ness. A narrow-gauge railroad of very
rough quality, about thirty-nine miles long,
now reaches the whole distance from Orange
to Fredericksburg, passing within a short
distance of the Wilderness Tavern, and
crossing Mine Run, (where Meirde lost eo
much time.) on a high, frail trestle; the rail
road also crosses the lines of march of Grant
after he had left his camps aronnd Culpepper
and crossed the Ripidan to Raccoon and
Germania fords.
The Wilderness at the present day has
only changed aa far as building small s'ation
honses and incipient towns along where the
railroad goes. It ia one of the poorest pieces
of conntry in Virginia, originally dug over
to find snrface iron ore ; these ore pits have
been changed by the rains into gullies, which
firnred in the great battles thereabout. All
trees in sight are either a sickly oak or a
stunted pine. There are few creeks of any
kind running from the wilderness proper
until yon come to the sources of the M itfa
pony, whpra the country grows more fertile.
The Wilderness people are generally a
low order ol whites, a ra'her better order of
negroes, and once or twice we encountered in
son-bonnets some qnite pretty Virginia
girls This region is a sort of hill land, be
tween the sources of various rivers, whose
original soil of clay mould was washed off
by the heavy rains and has long ago disap
peared into the river bottoms.
Tbev were getting out railroad tiea at
about every point we saw in the Wilderness,
and also hoop staves—the former to go to
Kurope. All the bodies on Wilderness and
Cbancelloreville battle-fields have been dug
up and removed to the cemeteries at Sp'itt
sylvania and Frederick-burg—those beautiful
cemeteries where almost all tbe dead are
unknown, but which alone embellish th«s
evil country, the deadly mud-hole of tbe
world.
A Nkw Version or Mahoo Romms
—At midnight in his guarded tent the l urk,
Mr Marco Bozzatis. was dreaming of the
hour when Greece should bend b u r knee' in
suppliance, apologize, eat bumble pie, and so
forth and so on, and tremble at his power.
In dreams, or, as we might say, in his mind,
through camp and court he bore ’he trophies
of a coiiquerer. Also in bis mind he wore
bis monarch’s signet ring—which cost four
dollars and a ball—and pressed that mon
arch’s throne—a king! and thought himself
a bigger man than the Akoond of Swat.
However, an hour passed on—the Turk
awoke, he woke to hear his sentries shriek,
“To arms I they come! tbe Greek! the
Greek I” This was not all Greek to Mr.
Bozzaris. He knew full well what it meant,
and springing ont of bed, told the boys to
light into them while be got into his clothes.
Then there was flame and smoke and shout
and groan and sabre-stroke and death shot
falling thick and fast like lightning from the
mountain eloud, and the iofernalest uproar
generally that was ever heard outside of a
Country school. They fought like brave
men, long and well, and were about to mop
up the ground with the Moslem slam, when
they heard, with voice of trumpet loud, Buz
z-iris cheer his band fro n behind the cook
stove in bis tent: “Strike—till the last
armed loe expires ! Strike, for your altars
and your fires I Strike for the green graves
of your sires, and I’ll be with you the mo
ment 1 can get on these daoged boots !”
Billings’ Advice to Joe.—By awl means.
Joe. get married if you have a fair show.
Don’t stand shivering on the bank, but pitch
in and stick your head under, and the shiver
is aver. There ain’t any more trick in get
ting married after you’re ready than there is
io eating peanuts. Menny a man has stood
shivering on the shore till the river all run
nut. Don’t expect to marry an angel; them
hev all been picked up long ago. Remem
ber, Joe, you ain’t a saint yourself. Do not
marry lor buty exclusively ; buty is like ice.
awful slippery, and thaws dreadful easy.
Don’t marry for luv neither ; luv is jike a
cooking stove, gud for nothing when the fuel
gives out. But let the mixture be some
bnly becomingly dressed, with about two
hundred and fifty dollars in her pocket, a
god speller, handy amt neat in her bouse,
plenty of gud sense, a tuff constitution and
by-laws, small feet, a light step ; add to this
sound teeth and a warm heart. This mixture
will keep in any climate, and not evaporate.
If tbe cork happens to be left out for two or
three minnits, the strength ain’t all gone,
Joe. Don’t marry for pedigree; there ain’t
much in pedigree unless it is backed by
bank stocks A family with ootbiog but
pedigree generally lack sense.
After a marriage ceremony bad been
performed in ooe of the churches in Adrian,
Mieb., the bride, when receiving the con
gratulations of her friends, shed tears, ac
cording to the established custom, at the
sight of which the groom followed suit, with
a copious flow ol tbe hrtny fluid After his
friends succeeded in calming him he said he
could not help it, for he felt as bad about it
as she did.
Missing the baby may result in deforming
its nose, and bringing on near-sightedness.
The safest plan is uot to kia»* baby of tbe
feminine persuasion until it attains the age
of sixteen years. The cartilage ol the nose
is much stronger then.
1 het were wulking home from rehearsal.
Said be: “Lovt-st tbou met” Said she:
“ I’hou knowest I love tbee 1” Tbeu they
meusured noses, while the trees eights!, the
lake murmured apon tbe pebbled beach, aod
tbe mo«o shone io soft splendor.
There is nothing io the world half so
beautiful, half so intrinsically good as a “nice
girl." She is the sweetest flower in tbe path
of life. There are others f.n more gorgeous,
but these we merely admire as we go bv.
fooMK men never lose their presence of
mind. In New York a roan threw his
mot her-in-law ont ol the window in tbe
filth story ol t burning building, and cu;iied
a leathei-bed dowo stairs in bis artn9.
It wili again be fashionable this season
to wear striped stockings while bathing, and
the innocent little catfish, mistaking them
for barber-poles, will come wriggling around
to get tbeir whiskers trimmed.

Tbi* important organ weighs but about thres
pounds, and ail the blood in a living person ( about
three gallons) passes through it at least once every
half hour, to have the bife and other impurities
strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
ried through thfe veins to all parts of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys
pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili
ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles,
Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol
low. Mhrrrll's Hepatinb, the great Vegetable
discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
off from one to two ounces of bile each time the
blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex
cess of bile; and the effect of even a few doses
upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking
skin, will astonish all who try it—-they being the
first symptoms to disappear. The cure ef ail bili
ous diseases and Liver complairt is made certain

Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes,
and no disease that arises from the Liver can exist
if a fair trial is given.
