OPTE HO UB" WITH THEE. One honr with thee, when none are near ' i To mar its gulden tide I . O then thou socmest to me more dear Than aught in Heaven beside. On angel's wings the moments glow. Like stars of radiant light, Unmindful that their rapid flow Fast speeds approaching night. One honr with thee, when sorrow's gnsh O'erflows my troubled soul" Like some resistless river's rush, Which seeks a fatal goal That hour dispells the rayless gloom And sheds a halo bright, Aa roseate rays of blushing morn Disperse the darkest night. One hour with tliee when shadows all Across my checkered path. Thy Bmiles illume thy angry pall. And gildx their turbid wrath. One hour with thee when bitter woe, Pervades my dreary hi-ait. It seems like Heav'n on earth below, It doth such joy impart. And when the hour of death draws nigh, I'd have thee by my side. To cheer the moments as they fly, Of life's expiring tide. To gaze into my languid eye, And press my cheek with thine. To lull my bosom's faintest sigh. And blend thy prayers with mine. Oh ! when I thus to death shall how, While yet one breath remains, Til pledge, for thine, my dying vow, To meet in Heaven again. United there, I'll constant prove. And breathe but one refrain, To bask in thy angelic love, And bless thy hallowed name. THE IMPEACHMENT Ql'ESTIOX. The Judiciary Committee held a brief session to-rbry, taking supplementary testi mony on the subject of impeachment Messrs. Florence, of the Constitutional Union ; Coyle, of the National Intelligencer, and Murtaugh, of the Republican, proprietors of newsoan'ers in this city, were examined as to whether any advertisements have been furnished to their papers from the Executive Department in violation of an act of Congress on that subject, which declares that advertisements shall be given to twn papers in the city having the largest subscription circulation. It is said that General Sheridan has been summoned to appear before the committee to contribute his quota to the already vo luminous testimony collected upon the' sub ject now under consideration. CONDITION OF THADDEUS STEVENS WHAT JIK INTENDS TO DO IN CONGRESS. Mr. Stevens to-day seems materially im proved in strength, and his mind displays more visor than at any other period since Ins arrival here. To-dav he received a num ber of visitors, Speaker Colfax, Congress man Boutwell and Senator Morrill mm, the number. With his improved condition, Mr. Stevens manifests a renewed disposition to urge his ideas upon the House. He now appears more determined than ever. He says, however, that he will not be able to do much speaking; he will exert his efforts mainly in the Introduction of such bills as he may think neeessarv to bolster up the cause ot radicalism. The bill suspending civil officers during trial for impeachment he bases upon that clause of the constitu tion which says that the Congress may In law provide for the case of removal, from or inability both of the President and Vice President, declaring what olhcer shall then act as President, aud such officer shall act accordingly until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected. With his increased strength Mr. Stevens has revived his determination to bring ; tn;3 biIL Xhe lollowmg is a complete copy of that docu ment as he has revised it, and declares he Will introduce it early in the session : A BILL RELATIVE TO THE POWERS OF OF FICERS UPON AND FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

If his improved condition of mind and body prove of a permanent nature, a more united and vigorous display of radical ideas may be looked for than was anticipa- u .u.iewi uis removal from the scene of upcrauuus in me House. Mr. Stevens has not been out of his lodg ings since his arr;val here, but he looks for ward to next Thursday with every encour agement that he will be able to be present at the opening of the session.

On Friday last, in New York, Mr. Edwin Butt, a young gentleman twenty one years of age, connected with a lare dry goods bouse in Broadway, made a wager of ten dollars with his employer that he could walk from the corner of Broadway and j1, ?treet to narIem bridge, 130th street and Third avenue, in one nnrl a half !,,,, the distance being seven miles. According ij, as inree o'clock that afternoon Mr. Butt 11? Im. the Pint desisted, and reach ed the destination in one hour and twentv eyen minutes, thus beating time by three minutes, and coming out apparently almost as fresh as when he started. Without wish ing to rest, Mr. Butt immediately played two games of billiards and walked home a distance of not over two miles. The stake holder, being satisfied that Mr. Butt had Jairly won the wager, promptly paid over the money to him. Internal Revenue Decisions. Washington, Nov. 18.-The Commission er of Internal Revenue has made the follow ing decisions : When a conveyance of realty is made upon an actual valuable consideration which is manifestly inadequate, the deed should be tamped according to the amount of valna able consideration, and a RllCCPSainn tan- less the successor be the wife of the prede cessor, should be assessed upon the value of the land conveyed, less such consideration. . 7-7?!e.13.no stamP uPon a promissory note until it is issued.

They say, we get so little fruit from the ground taken up by the trees, ami we cannot cultivate the orchards as we shonld like, from injury to the roots, &c, so that we are forced, on the score of economy, to abandon apple raising. Now, practically, an orchard should be an orchard only. Except for grass, it should be left un cultivated, alter the trees have reached, say about four inches in diameter. We can see no reason why a good crop of grasses should not be continuously produced for a quarter or a third of a century, without disturbance. A top-dressing of manure once in two or three years, we know, has produced fine yields of grass annually of two crops. The trees have little or no influence upon the crop of grass; indeed if they possess any, it is in affording a heavier swath under the trees. Hence, instead of setting out young orchards thirty and thirty five feet apart, reduce the distance to about twenty feet, in the quincunx form ; and if at any time the trees should threaten to become a little crowded, prevent it by additional pruning. This is our theory. The leading purpose of an orchard should be to obtain fruit; next, the crop that will do the least damage to the trees. This is grass. Grass, however, will not do any damage to the apple trees, but the contrary. It keeps the soil moist, and of a uniform temperature protecting the roots in summer against heat, and drought, and in winter against the severe effect of alternate thawing and freezing. It should also be remembered, in setting out young orchards, to get trees as low branched as possible. They will generally not grow so high, while the low boughs will protect the trunk ayainst the intense rays of the sun in the summer months, which are frequently very injurious to the health and productiveness of the trees. Ed Ger. Telegraph. Interesting Concerning Voluntary Bankrupts. An important decision affect ing the status of voluntary bankrupts was rendered on Wednesday in the United States District Court at New York, by Judge Blatchford. It appears that one Charles G. Patterson, after filing bis petition in bankruptcy, borrowed 5,000. When he was examined before the registrar the cred itors on his schedule questioned him about the loan, and he declined to answer on the ground that they had no right to inquire about property acquired by him after the commencement of the proceedings in the matter of his bankruptcy. The registrar, however, overruled the objection, and the question was certified to Judge Blatchford. In the course of a very elaborate opinion, covering the whole ground, his Honor holds that " when an adjudication is made, the following the riling ot a petition, then it is judiciously established that the proceedings in the case commenced when the petition was filed. The date of such salaries then become the date from which the assignee takes all the property of the bankrupt, which was his property at that date. Such date also becomes the date at which the debt must be due or exist in order to be provable. Such date also becomes the date at which provable debts must have existed in order to be discharged. In other words, the filing of a petition, by or against a debtor, is the date at which, if an adjudication of bank ruptcy follows, the old order of things passes awav, and a new leaf is turned over." A Touching Incident. At a second class hotel in Frankfort, Ky., a few days since, a little girl entered the bar-room, and in a pitiful tone told the barkeeper that her mother sent her to get eight cents. "Eight cents said the barkeeper. " Yes sir." " What does your mother want of eight cents ? I don't owe her anything." " Well." said the child" " father spends all his money here for rum. and we have no bread to-day. Mother wants to buy a loaf of bread." A loafer suggested to the barkeeper to kick her out. " No," said the barkeeper. " I'll give her mother the money, and if her father comes back here again, I'll kick him out." Humanity owes that barkeeper a vote of thanks. A Parisian was proceeding home in a state of intoxication, when he was confronted by a robber who demanded his watch and money. His wits seem to have been sharpen ed by the wine, for instead of grappling with his opponent, he affected to hail him with indescribable pleasure, to be so far gone as not to be able to distinguish friend from foe, and embraced and hugged the robber to his heart, swearing eternal friend ship. ' My friend," he exclaimed, " we will never part ; come with me, let us eat and drink and sleep together; the drawer of my secretaire is full of'gold why should you not equally enjoy it ?" Delighted with "the prospect, the robber took the proffered arm. and the two proceeded on their way, singing jovial songs as they went. Two watch houses were purposely avoided, but at the third, the supposed victim set up a shout that brought half a dozen policemen, when an explanation followed, and the friends separated.

A loan of one million pounds sterling to the Honduras Railwoad has been introduced into the London Market. This loan looks to the construction of a railway through Hondu ras, C. A., from Porto Caballo on the At lantic to the Gulf of Franzca on the Pacific, the surveys of which were made under the old Squiere grant, about eight years ago, by a party of English engineers. The proposed route is about two hundred and fifty miles long, and the cost of construction will be about 6,000 per mile. a Some persons have a " nice" way of com pounding for great sins by keeping clear of little ones.

The inception of a grand and sumptuous festival i - 7i tt j j en.- l. : u a- i l a J fn? the United States, which Is intended to surpass that held three fyears ago in one of the free towns, of Germany, - ia set forth this morning in the columns of the World. The ocean mails and Atlantic cable have already been employed to obtain co-operation of German, French, Swiss, and Austrian socie ties, with those of this and other ; American 1 cities, in securing an assemblage of at least ' one hundred thousand gymnasts, sharp shooters, musicians and vocalists in New York next June. Encouraging replies are received from Europe. The German steam ship companies intimate their willingness to aid the scheme by reduced fares. Millard's, Park at Morrisania is talked of as the scene of the show.

What right has a person, endowed with an ordinary share of intelli gence, and blessed with a respectable share of good health, to despond? What is the meaning of it? The cause is a weak mind, and the meaning is sin. Providence never intended that one of his creatures should be the victim of a desire to feel and look the gloom of the thunder cloud. Never de sjjond, friendly reader, for one of the first entrances of vice to the heart is made through the instrumentality of desponden cy. Although we cannot expect all oi our days and hours to be gilded by sunshine, we must not, for mere momentary griefs, sup pose that they are to be enshrouded in the midst of misery, or clouded by the opacity of sorrow and misfortune. Scattering Buands. We are sorry to see that the Richmond journal called South ern Opinion is publishing a " black list," which consists of those men who voted the Republican ticket at the late election in Vir ginia. There can ue out little nope ior tne era of good feeling or real peace, while a course so thoroughly mischievous and suici dal is followed by journals professing to rep resent public sentiment. For, while neither Congress nor the people of the North are by my means lost to all sense of charity and justice toward the South, they will not withstanding, hardly sit complacently and smilingly down and see their friends and ad herents in that section ostracised and made xlious if so foolish a course can make hem so ; and the sooner this fact is realized the better for all concerned. We know it may be truly said that these ;ncendiary sheets do not reflect the public eeling ; but it may and will be as truly an swered that they nevertheless have a circu lation, and receive in some way or other a living support : and this fact is a damaging nc. The better judgment of the Southern eople should promptly frown down the :ri initial offenders. Ece. Post. Splendid Present of the Holy Fath er Pope Pius IX. to the American Cuuhch. On the occasion of our Most Rev Tend Archbishop's late visit to Rome, the Holy father presented to him, as the Dele gate Apostolic who presided over the late Plenary Council of Baltimore, a beautiful Mosaic of the Roman Pantheon, and its sur roundings. Perhaps there is not to be found in the whole country so splendid a work of art as this one, presented to the Hi erarchy of the American Church by our Me tropolitan. Nothing could be more beauti ful or true to nature. In tact, the Holy Fa- j ther on seeing the figure of our cathedral in I Kellogg's chromatic painting of the proces- sion of Bishops at the Plenary Council, presented to him by our Most Rev. Arch j bishop, exclaimed at once: "Ecco! hanno j il Pantheon a Baltimore! Behold! you I have the Pantheon in Baltimore." Also, re marking on the little choir boys dressed in red, he playfully said : " You have little Cardinals " Yes Holy Father," replied our archbishops, if our Holiness will please notice those dressed in purple." Btdtimore CuUwlic Mirror. Land Occupied ky Fences. The mate rials and labor required to build and keep fences in repair are among the heavy items of farm expense. The cost of the land on which they stand is another item on which J. Harris of Rochester, discourses as follows in the American Agriculturist : How much land does an old-fashioned fence occupy ? I have always thought it took up a good deal of land, but never had the curiosit3T to measure. But this summer we have been building a stone wall along the whole west side of the farm, and after it was completed, and the old fence removed, I was surprised at the quantity of land we had gained. The ground, of course, might have been plowed closer to the fence, but ta king the case as it actually was, the old rail rence, with stones, weeds, rubbish, &c, oc cupied a strip of land one rod wide. A field, 31 rods long and 31 rods wide, con tains about six acres. If surrounded by such a fence, it would occupy a little ever three-quarters of an acre of land. A farm of 1C0 acres so fenced would have twenty acres of land taken up in this worse than useless manner. Not only is the use of the land lost, it is, in the 'majority of cases, a nursery of weeds, and, in plowing, much time is lost in turning, and the headlands and corners are seldom properly cultivated. m Lime Around Apple Trees. We have known farmers to make it a regular prac tice for a succession of years, to throw caus tic lime around their apple trees in the spring and summer. We once noticed that a tree standing in the immediate vicinity of our dwelling had, all at once, put forth with renewed energy, and we were at a loss for some time to define the cause. On examin ation, we found that a quantity of lime, which had accidentally been spilled and ren dered worthless by becoming mixed with the refuse of the 6table floor, had been thrown at the foot and around the tree, and to this, as the principal cause, we immedi ately accredited it, and purchased twelve casks of lime, and applied half a bushel to each of the trees in our orchard, and found that it produced immediately beneficial ef fects. Not the health of the trees only, but the quality of the fruit also, was greatly improved. This application, will be espe cially beneficial in soils where there is a re dundancy ot vegetable matter. We would advise our farmers, in some places, especial ly in new forest lands, to make the experi ment, and see if it is not deserving of the high recommendation it secures.

A Large Majority of Republican Dele gates Chosen to the Convention X The State Eepublican by 50.000! LOl'AL MEN MUST JIVLE I I BETTER TIKES AHEAD FOE ALL ! The people of North-Carolina voted on Tuesday and Wednesday last for and against a Convention, and for one hundred and twenty delegates to a Convention, under the reconstruction acts of Congress. The ene mies of reconstruction, led by their ablest men, and having control ot the State, the County, and the Town governments, and of three-fourths ot the press of the State, fought with the utmost desperation, and pandered to every passion and prejudice, and persua ded, and denounced in every conceivable way to defeat the Republicans ; but the lat ter, relying on Truth and Justice, and stim ulated by a noble love of Liberty, have achievd a gloriously overwhelming victory. We have no time to-day to review the campaign, or enter into the details of the struggle. It is sufficient to state that it is considered certain that the Republicans have carried EIGHTY ot the one hundred and twenty members of the Convention, and that the people have voted by FIFTY THOUSAND majority for a Convention. Fellow-citizens, you have looked with pride at the game Fowl of Liberty at the head of this column. Behold now, as typi cal of the condition ot the poor Conserva tives, so-called, the dead Fowl of the Re bellion ! ELECTION RETURNS. The Great Triumph in Wake. The Republicans all over the State have done well, but, when we consider the oppo sition the Republicans of Wake had to meet and overcome, we feel that they are entitled to particular commendation. They had, first, to contend with all the heads of the Rebel State government in Raleigh ; secondly, with the County government, htaded by the Rebel Sheriff and his Rebel deputies ; thirdly, with the Rebel City government, headed by the Rebel Mayor and his subordinates, for t he most part rank, impudent Rebels. It was so ordered and permitted that loyal voters had to pass through the hands of such men all over the County, and every influence was brought to bear against us. Some of the Registrars and Inspecters even turned against us and did what they could, or dared to do under the circumstances, to defeat the Republican ticket. But we have beaten all these influ ences, and saved the County by a large ma jority. Wake is Republican by mare than one thou sand majority, and will remain so. The cen tre of the State is soundly loyal. We owe this in a large degree, it is true, to the pat riotic firmness of our colored friends, but the material for making good Republicans in the County is abundant among the white voters, and we predict that we shall have constant and valuable accessions to our ranks from the white voters of the County.

The Sentinel charges that Republicans "practiced fraud" in the late elections,bnt it i furnishes no proof to substantiate its charges. We might fill columns of our paper with instances of fnvud on the part ot the Rebels in the late election. We have room to-day but for two of these instances. At a precinct in Orange (Cedar Grove,) the pollholders told the colored people tbey could not vote unless they paid their taxes. This case will be investigated by Colonel uomioru. In this City tickets were printed at the Sen tinel office, and circulated by white persons, containing the names of Williams, Harris, Andrews, and Fowle. Several of these tick ets were palmed off on colored men who could not read, the object being to ring in votes for Gen. Fowle. We omit for the pre sent the names of the white gentlemen who did this, but the Sentinel kcows all about it and was a party to it. The Sentinel has found by experience, what we told it in our last is sue, that the hardest persons in the world to deceive are the colored people, lney are always " wide awake and duly sober." Wo learn that at Oak Grove, in this County, a venerable and wortny citizen, Rowland Gooch, Esq., was grossly insulted by some rebels because he voted the Repub lican ticket. Mr. Gooch was a pollholder at Haye'8 Store, and went on Wednesday to Oak Grove to vote. He was very grossly abused, and would no doubt have been beaten but for fear of consequences. We learn that one of the pollholders and the clerk ot the polls took part in deriding and ling Mr. Gooch. We got these facta from Mr. Gooch's son. This case will also no doubt be investigated. It is a fact that every case of well-authen- ticated fraud, and every outrage perpetrated at the elections, lies at the door of the so- called Conservatives. The white iCepublicans' of this State who stood firm on Tuesday and Wednesday last and voted their ticket will do. to count upon hereafter.

Our colored friends have shown themselves wor thy, not only by the remarkable propriety of their behaviour in the campaign and at the- election, but they have demonstrated to the worlcK that they are possessed in a high de gree of that chief requisite to manhood and citizenship, to wit, firmness and determina tion of character. No people in any civil contest have ever met and overcome greater temptations than they have. They have been equally, unmoved by artifice, trickery. falsehood, persuasion, offered bribes- and threats. They are poor and landless, but the rich oligarchs could not succeed in buying more than one of them in ten thousand. They have preferred the jewel of liberty to every thing else. Without the aid of the colored voters it would have been impossible to reconstruct the government on a loyal basis; and with out that aid, every fa'e-tried Unionist in- this State would have been this day under the iron heel of merciless Rebel power. Let our white Republican friends remember this, and let 11s keep faith to the uttermost with the loyal colored people who have given us their votes, and who would pile up their bodies,, if necessary, as a sacred offering to the cause of Liberty,. Union, and political Equality. The leaven of the Heroes of America, which was formed in this State in 1803, laid the foundation for the Leagues ; and the Leagues, with the Heroes, have been mainly n3tBumental in securing to the- Republicans their glorious victory. Without the Lpagues our success would have been doubtful. No wonder our opponeuts were so bitter against these loyal organizations. Let us continue to cherish and extend them. We will need them in future elections.. Let no true Re pnblican abate one jot or tittle of interest in public affairs. The State is not yet re constructed. Much work is vet to be done. Oar new Constitution is still to be ratified; and we must elect a loyal Governor, a loyal Lieutenant Governor, a loyal Legislature, and loyal members of Congress. To tfc this we must " keep our lamps trimmed and burn ins." Colored Men Elected. The following colored men are known to have been elected to the Constitutional Con vention of this State : James H; Hams, of Wake, J. W. Hood, of Cumberland, A. H. Galloway, of New Hanover, C- D. Pierson, of Cravea, John II. Williamson, of Franklin, John- A. Hyman, of Warren. There are sev eral other colored men who were candidates. The Convention will have in it fen. to fifteen colored men. All of them are intelligent and well qualified, and- several ot them are men of deeided ability, and wilt take position among the leading members of the Conven tion. Calvin J. Rogers, Esq;. The Sentinel charges that this gentleman "practiced fraud" at the late election at Oak Grove, in this County. We feel sure, from our knowledge of the character of Mr. Ragers, that this charge- is false. The Sentinel promises to "ventilate" this, and other cases of alleged fraud. Let it "ven-. tilate." The True Basis of Success. The chief cause of the brilliant victory just achieved in Craven may be explained on. two very important grounus. First, A faithful and consistent adherence to the plan of reconstruction laid down by Conores9 and" the legitimate objects and purposes of the Republican party. Second, A iuu ana complete organization of the Republican party in cveiy Election Precinct throughout the County. A good cause, with its. friends co-operating together in a proper spirit and with a mutual good understanding, can, scarcely ever fail to triumph. N&icbern Republican. The same is true as to Wake and other Counties. No party was ever more thor oughly organized than the Republican party of Wake. This organization must be maintained as the surest means, of future success. The white men are deserting the Union Leagues in the westeru counties as rats de sert a burning barn. A most gratifying re action in this respect is going on in that sec tion, and very soon it will be difficult to find a man who will confess that he ever belonged to one. Wil. Star.

Siekena' Readings Sale of Tickets, Boston, Mass., November 18. The sale of the tickets to the Dickens course of readings, which took place at Tieknor & FieldV to-day, caused no little sensation. At sunrise the crowd began to gather, and the aid of a strong police force was required to enforce fair play among the eager applicants. Nearly all the tickets for the course (about 8,000) were sold, and hun- dretis were dia appointed in securing any. A, few tickets got into the hands of specula tors, who olJered tnem at twenty dollars each.

There- will be a Republican Meeting ana Procession on Saturday evening next to celebrate the signal victory achieved' in Wake County and throughout the- State, in the late election. The following is the Report of the meetin-f of the Committee to take the matter into consideration : UQ4B OF MARCH.

A committee consisting of Messrs. Rufus Harrison, Friday Jones,, and John Cook, was appointed to. make necessary arrange ments. A committee consisting of Messrs. Drunim and N. Dunston was appointed to wait on Gen. Miles to request the presence of the 40th U. S. Band, also to wait on the candi dates elect, Gov. Holden, Col. Deweese and others to request that they address the meet ing. It was also decided that bonfires be light ed at each corner of Nash Square, and one near the Speaker's stand. A committee of two for each fire was also nominated, and a committee of four to act as Marshals on the occasion. MARK M. WILLIAMS, CWa. Wat. H. Anderson, Seey. Colored men who have- been discharged from employment for having.voted the Re publican ticket, will find it to their advan tage to call on the Agents of the Freedman's Bureau, who will do what they can to get employment for them. More on this subject hereafter. For the Standard. SCHOOLS. We hope that our County Court will not adjourn wi'thout some action on the subject of free schools. The need is urgent and the power is in their hands. Hundreds of young people, both white and colored, are growing up in ignorance. Any system of schools is better than none at all. Laborers will ie much more easily hired on plantations the coming year, if some provision is made lor their children's education. If for any reason final action cannot he taken at this term, we trust that a committee of persons interested in education, inclu ding colored persons as well as white, will be invited to renort t yA.-ia.rAr. a.

Chief Justice Chase was present to-night at the dedication of the Normal High School building for colored persons, and delivered an address. He said that by the fiat of God tlw- fetters had been struck from the limbs of millions, of aged slaves and they had become free. Being citizens it was ne cessary that tbey should be educated. Teaeh ers at first came from the North, then socie ties were formed to further the object, and he was glad to know that the great society of which he had the honor to be president had been instrumental in erecting the build ing which was being dedicated and which he hoped would accomplish much good. The work of educating freedman was just begun ; but by organized efforts much would be effected, and the day was not far distant when the States of the South would have a system of tree schools in which all might be educated schools in which there would be no discrimination. He hoped the day was not far distant when the hills and valleys of the South would be glorified and blessed by school-houses. He had said several years ago, in a speech made on a similar occasion, he hoped he might live toseethe day that the sun would not shine on the footprints of a slave in America, when no slaveshouhl tread the soil of Virginia, and be thanked God that that hope had been realized. The work of educating the colored people had com menced, and would not stop. It could not on hnrlrwarda hnt would be DUshed forward until all of them were educated and chris tianized. Governor Pierpont, General Brown, Judge Bond, and other prominent gentlemen were present. The audience was composed ot about equal parts of white and colored peo ples. : : Tub TrvfR to Cut Bushes. A corres pondent of the Few Hampshire Farmer says: "Repeated trials on as many different pieces of land, and each trial a complete success, has convinced us that - December, the time we invariably do this, is the best season, at which time the growth of the year is evi dently at an end. A piece of valuable pasture-land of ours, overrun with bushes, which had been many times cut over by a former owner to no purpose, because cut in. the summer season, was by us cut over in December. 1862. and to this time, a period ot nearly five years, not a bush has sprouted, and the land though moist, is -well stocked down to grass." Colic nc Horses. The New England Fanner is informed that the following is safe and effective cure lor colic. Dissolve aa much salt in a quart of pure water as may be required thoroughly to saturate the liq uid, and drench the patient with one half of it. If symptoms of relief are not noticed in fifteen minutes or half an hour, give the remainder. This remecy has proved entire ly successful in very severe cases, where oth er more complicated raedicines had failed. Men are never placed in such extreme but that there is a right to guide them. e -a 270 11 76 44
