Tin noet Whittier. wbo . wan 70 vaars old in December, has oftou beeo n.llrl the Buros of America. Tbe same simplicity of language, the almost oxnlnaiva use of common Anglo-Saxon words, the description of lowly life and thn humblest soenes in nature.thesame whole hearted aud generous appeals to whatever is best in humanity, pervaae the writing of both. His love of Burns ..J !,; fi-at. nonnnintanco with his UU ' 1 " M.M- - - writings, are pleasantly told by luiu self: " Burns is to me the noblest poet of nnr ruoa. He was tbe first poet 1 read, na ha will be the last. One day one of our preachers oame to stay all night, and notioing, as we sat by the fire, that T uriia intent noon a book, be said ; X will read to thee, if thee likes, some Doeras by KoDert Jjurns. a navu a copy with me." So he got the book and began to read, It was the first i had heard of Burns, and my wonder and delight over what I heard aro us fresh still as if it were yesterday. I bad heard nothing up to that moment, it seemed to me, that had any right to be culled poetry : and I listened as long s the old man would read. I noticed he left the book on the table ; so I rose at gray duwn next morning and read (or myself. I was hanging over the book when the friend came down, and then he told me he was going lurther to visit such and Buch ineetiugs, would be back at such a time, aud if 1 liked, wmild leave the book with mo. Thee may be sure I gratefully accepted his offer. I read JJurna everji momout i had to spare aDd this was one great re sult of my communion with him. I found that the things out of which poems came were not, as I had always imagined, somewhere away off in the world and life lying outside the edge ol our New Hampshire sky ; they were rirht here about my feet and among the Deoule I knew. The common things ot our common life I found were full of poetry. It was a new and a perfect revelation." Whittier's father, a Quaker, was of a t..ill lonir-lived race, aud lived ou the batiks of tbe Merriiuac, where the poet was born, and where most ot hia lite waa aoent. a non-resistant by principle and practice. He, however, could not see in his boy anything more than he himself was, a promising plowman; hut the boy's mother, with keener in sight, recognized bis genius, and en couraged and ministered to it- ui nis mother ot French descent, with th maiden name of Abigail Huizey Whittier says in the Friends' Ileview "All that the sacred word mother mean in its broadest, fullest signifi cance. our dear mother was to us; a friend, helper, counselor, companiun. ever-lovintr. eeotle and UDfctlhsb V hitiicr himself was very sensitive aud diffident. He aent hia boyish effusions in a sly way to the nearest village newspaper, and blushed to his fiug r tips when William Lloyd Garrison.wh'. edited the paper, after a long and dilli gent search, found him out. Andrew Jornsox saved and filed away every fetter and dispatch he re- Mi.ad durin hie public life. He l-lt over a btubel of teUgrams, all ia good order.

A !ermoia In vrhlcla h. Depict. "Tl lUoat llldeoNa WKhlo , mare of 'l lieolotiy." New Tork Timet, Deo. .Tib Mr. Beecher'B text was the ninth verse of the first ohapter of Ephesians, and the theme of his discourse waa the background of mystery whioh ur- routida, or rather obscures, all attempts to toaoh or understand tbe attributes and nature of God. Men roust learn these thines by their own expenenoe. aud, in illustrating the differoooe be iwpfln God and man. he said tbat man f essential faoulties are precisely similar to those of God, and only differ in de grees, just as the child of four years, w - - . . a alrtini.' on his father s knee, has the same powers of reasoning as his father, only that power in the father is ma tured, while in the child it is weak and obscure. A man would not hold a caudle out of tho window and say it wild sunrise, and yet tbe same light and the same warmth exist in the candle that exist in the sun, though iu an lm mensely different degree. Speaking of the Trinity, Mr. Beeoher. said hat he believed that there were tWfi nersons united iu one Godhead but if anv one should ask him why he believed it, he should tell him frankly that he did not know anything about it, only that it was easier to believe that which he thought ooinoided with the doctrine of the Now Testament than to oontradiot it. But he could not nttemnt to exoloin if. Orthodoxy govs that men must believe in tbe Trio ir.v or thev cannot come into tho - ... ohurch. That is called orthodoxy, but he culled it heathenism. It is not an easv thinir. said Mr. Beeoher, for an honest, conscientious man to know just what to Dreach and what not to preaoh A man who values morality, and who has the good of his fellowman at heart can not be careless as to tbe things he ought to teach. His own head had nftpn rofilad. and his mind had been ereatlv troubled, when he reflected on hia resnonsibility in this matter. It was no easy matter to remove the rot ten timbers and replace them with sound ones, and not stop the voyage of the ship. It was said that Adam was nreated Derfect. It was also said that Adam sinnod, and that in consequence of that sin the wnole human race tell. The human race had existed on oarth (or thousands and thousands of years, and had none on propagating aud mul tiniuino- until all the waves of tbe nrnan which had rolled in upon the shore during those centuries did not contain drops enough, nor the sands ot thn re, narticles enough, nor all the figures of the arithmetic numbers Piionirh. to compute the preface, to say nothing of the body, of tbe great bis- tnrv of tho human race. 1 he numbers of the human race were actually be yond computation, and for thousands nl thousands of years they hid been born into the world, bad lived and struggled, and finally died, and gone where? "If you tell me that they have all gone to heaven, my answer will be tbat such a sweeping ot mud inm heaven would defile iu purity, and I can not accept that.

Although now-a-dsys we see a good msny fleshy females, there are many lean and lank ones wbo sign ior the fashionable measure of plumpness, and who would be vastly improved ia health and appearance could their figure be rounded with good, eolid flesh. Nothing is more ooveted by thin women than a full figure, and no thing will rouse the ire and provoke tha aoandal of the " clipper builds " as the consciousness of plumpness in a ri val. In cases of fevei and summer complaint, milk is now given with ex cellent results. The idea mat miia "feverish" has exploded, and it is now the physician's great reliance ia brings ihpsnti, tvnhoid Datients. or thoso ia too low a state to be nourished by solid food.
