EVENING STAR. The following choice piece of California po- etry. with a cis-Atlantic bent, wo take from : iMe Herald. It applies to the lat- nia, but is pretty anywhere : THE DEAR ONES AT HOME. ‘One of my friends Is fair Her lips are like fresh vdalng ‘The smile that parts the ruby pair, Pearls of the purest white discloses. Her locks upon her lovely brow, Rest with a sweet fantastic lightness ; And in her eye’s bewitching glow, m ‘We dream of Heaven and all its brightness! Her voice is like the song of birds, Whe spring puts forth her fairest flowers; And sweetly fw her graceful words, As flows a brook through summer bowers. Over her mild, angelic face Php Tays of soul are ever —— »d her sweet form’s surpassing \ id Excels the poet’s wildest dreaming. Look on her soft and snowy hard, Remork each straight particular finger ; And, as wpon afairy’s wand, Your eye would there forever linger. Like the young fawn’s, her tiny foot, Touches the earth with fairy motion ; Or like a little wavelet, mute, Upon the stormiess breast of Ocean. ‘Oh, for ome spell of magi= power, Love jamp--avebtan and enchanted ; ‘To Lear meto the gentle flower, Forwuom my soul so long hath panted. Alas! three:thousand stormy miles— Three tho G miles of stormy water— Debar me from Hespot where smiles Virginia’s fairest;arest daughter ! Bot if that eagle, which was seen, Once o1 « time, by Bidwell’s Ferry. Would lend its golden wings, | ween This drooping heart would soon be merry. Oh. swifter than its swiftest flight, Cleaviag the calm or stormy Heaven, Regaid.ess of the day or night, Una:indful of the morn or even; Like to the lightning’s vivid flash, Like to some wild thing, driven frantic, I'd fling me, at a single flash. Across the broad, siorm-v@xed Atlantic ! From this dark land I would pric! Ard, flying each enchanted pinion, Swiftes the sun’s descending ray, Alight within the Old Dominion. Rewepy ror Scatps axp Borxs.—In th> “‘ American Medical Gazette” for March, Dr. Reese thus earnestly reiterates his advice to apply flour to sealds and barns: *- We stillsee reported, almost daily, an ap- palling aumber of deaths by burns and scalds, not one of which, we take upon ourselves to say, need prove fatal, or would do so, if a few pounds of wheat flour could be promptly ap- plied to the wounds made by fire, and re peated until the inflammatory stage hal passed. We have never known a fatal case of scalding or burning in which this, practice has been pursued, during more than thirty years experience, and having treated hun- dreds in both public and private practice. We have known the most extensive burns by falling into cauldrons of boiling oil, and even moulteu copper, and yet the patients were rescued by this simple and cheap remedy, which, from its infallible success, should sup- plant ali the fashionable nostrums, whether oil, cotton, lead water, ice, turpentine, or pain extractors, every one of which has been tried & thousand times with fatal result, and the victims have died in excruciating agony, when a few haudfuls of four would have calmed them to sieep and reseued them from paid and death. Humanity should prompt the profe:- sion to publish aud republish the facts on this subject, which are established by the authority of staudard medical works on both sides of the Atlaniic. Fiour is the remedy, and the only one in severe cases of scalding and burning casualties, which else so often destroy life. Let us keep it before the people, while the ex- Pplosions of steam boilers and burning fluid amps are so rife all over the country.” easton ee SENIVASLS AT PRINCIPAL HOTELS.
