wonderful effects produced by your valuable medi-cine.
About tbe last Of February I commenced
taking your Syrup, which has benefitted me more
than anything I have ever taken before. Prior to
that time, my bowels did not move more than once
in six days, and many times not oftener than eight
or ten days, and-tosp by compulsion; and I have
even been conveyed from the natersdoset in an In-sensible
condition and subjected to powerful injec-tions
and various medicines with but little effect.
Cold feet baae caused me many sleepless hours, but
since taking your medicine that trouble has ceased.
MY husband says I have not been so cheerful for
years as I have been since I commenced. using your

The conpiing of t i e dawning light,
As the New Year was born.
The sky woe cloudless, as the day
From dreamy night awoke ;
And in the shadows soft and gray,
Wrapped iu a misty cloak,
New England's river; like'a dream,
Down to its ocean home,
Wil dimly in the distance seen,
Grand, silent and alone.
No birds were singing ; yet the air

Castoria will assimilate the food*]expel worms,

an effective Cathartic and stomach regulator
whicb-would be as effective as Castor Oil, without its

The reputation of his experiment extended. Phy-sicians

which he gave the name of Castoria.
Castoria ia a i plea a n t to take as honey, .regulates

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New Yoik.JefeSl.liMw
THX WOU OT TKB POOB.
Why do not the poor of New York get on
better ? Why ia it that a men on a salary of
#16 a week cannot support hie family decent-ly
? lift a week would be a very comforta-ble
subsistence in a country town. It would
support him and leave him something over to
lay up for a rainy day. True, it would, but
in New Tork it is the merest nothing—it
means starvation which ia not even genteel.
Why is it ? Tbe aaswer is easy enough. The
poor artisan or laborer on $15 a week might
live on it and save money, if he could get
what be lives on at any deoent price—but be
don't. If potatoes are worth, we will say,
a bushel, by tbe bushel, what do you suppose
the laborer pays for them ? He can't buy a
bushel at once, for his little $15 won't go far
enough'. He has to pay $7 for rent of his
rooms, wbich is nearly half of his income,
for a place for him and his to live snd sleep,
leaving him $8 a week for food snd clothing.
This would answer if he could only buy his
food in such quantities and at such places as
food can be procured at leesonable prices. But
he cannot do Bin, for be baa not money
enoogb. A barrel of potatoes costs, we will
say, $3 50; should he buy a barrel he wonld
have nothing left for other articlea of food.
So he buys a half peck of potatoes, for which
he pays 20 cents, or at the rate of $1.80 a
bushel, instead of abont a dollar. Hia coal
would cost him only about $6 a. ton if ty
could buy a ton, bnt he can't; he can buy a
bushel, though, just enough to last him a day
or two, and for that the denier makes him pay
40 or 60 cents, aud when he has to get a peck
instead o f a bushel, the extortion instill more.
And as it is with his ooal and potatoes, so it
is with everything. He never baa money
enough to bu> anything in quantity—be lives
from band fb month, and is consequently
compelled to pay four prioes for everything.
It is a decent fortune to have a retail store in
a poor neighborhood, for the profita mad*,
from poor people are immense. And aa there
ia no credit given, the trade is sure. There
is no such thing as getting up in the world
for a laboring ana in New York unless a
streak of luck comes. This season baa been
unexoeptionably. hard, for labor has been
acaroe aad wagea correspondingly low. How
they live at all is more than I can understand.
AN INCIDENT.
The lives of the poor are hard enough, bnt
they are sometimes followed by so miserable
a death that it appears the crowning mockery
of a relentless destiny. Who realiaea the pit.
ifulness of the simple annals of the poor ?
Short and simple ? Long and bitter, rather,
for Ahe hours of toil are thrice aa long aa those
of ease, and life weighs heavier aa it drags ita
years along. One of those sad cases which
often happen was told last night at a happy
tea table by a city physician. A poot woaaan
who tad been a servant went to a doctor for
help when far gone in consumption. He gave'
her medicine and told har to come again next
day. She came with tbe res* of hia poor pa-tients,
hut while waiting waa taken with hem-orrhage,
tod died in the halt Tbe doctor
knew nothing of ber hut her name, not even
her family or where aha Heed, and the police-man
sent for to take charge of the remains
With the astuteness of hia Afipp^that
it was a case f<jjr 'the oo^oner, and the body'
must be left where it lay, untoqrihed. till the
next day, There the poor g^aatly blood-stained
creature lay in the rigor of death, one
wpuld think not the object for a pleasant
home. Think of it! The corpse lost to rec-ognition,
the woman'a friends, il aba had any,
unconscious of her fate, she lying an unwel-come
and horrid spectacle, tbe very spectre of
poverty thrust/upon the kindneks and com-fort
of s well-to-do household. Que cannot
forbear sympathy for the housekeeper whose
;-room will always be kauifted by so
shocking a memory. And yet one of the phy-sicians
called in to aee the poor creaSare, look
ing at tbe oorpee, aaid, ~witb a buret of genu-ine
feeling, "Poor woman, I can't pity yon ;
you are better off than I am.' He was happy
and successful—too happy to make audi a
speech out o» idle feeling. Yet no oo4 i *o
heard it aonld doubt bespoke the sincere feel-iag
of his soolev Liintf a$Ls < i
coming arprthg. Soch models are
in t b e windows as l e a d i n g atytak
tiest fabric out, ia a fine check in biaek: and
white, crossed by a single bright oolar, whaeh
gives it afresh spring-like look, while it la
quite modest enough for the street. Aa it
comes in soft wool goods* pi%jn woven, both
light and durable, aad very wide, it will bo a
favorite with ladies, a* it ia snre to be with
men because it is ao bright aud pretty.
MOKZT OH KXAL PK(!»Xjrrf. ty_ .
To tbe man in tbe western part of Daw
i York, who wrote to me, asking tbe slhlinsa e«
! the old lady told in these letters, who eria*
because she didn't know wheee ta invest her
money, that he might get htr t»» letd h »
some money on has form, I would say,
be ooold hardly get money on
gage, if his farm were in Central Park, in-stead
of Chemung. There is more money in
the banks aud in private bandk noW,
ever before since the war, snd U is harder to
get a loan onlh* best security. Even town
property is looked on doubtfully, for the
prices are going down so, it is not safe to lend
on it. Values are changing, credit is unsta-ble,
banks are fickle, and the unfortunates
who have money have nothing better to do
with it than to hold on, and be glad if they
can keep it s»ife without getting interest on it.

j If I tell the girls about a wedding that came
j off this week, they will all be dissatisfied if
; they can't have one just like i t But they
| will be sure to find fault now if they don't
j hear about it, so here goes. The times are
not good, and money ia not ejsyr but there
was a pet daughter to be married, and it waa
for once in a lifetime, so no expense waa
spared. On the rstura of tbe bridal party
from tbe chnrch, they found the atdewaSt,
steps and hallway strewed with floWeta, hliea
of the. valley, in the height of their season
just now,'roses aad azaliaa, trodden under
foot to the door of the drawing mom. There
the marvel began. The girl had always been
passionately food of flowers, and they sur-rounded
her in lavishnaes on |bia th* happiest
day of her life. The back drawing room
where the bride and groom received the con-gratulations
of theii friends, was agteat bow-er
of folisgo and blossoms, nearly as high aa
the room, and large as an ordina*} judor it-self,
where a bell of bridal floweni itodad the
air with odors. The very doors when opened
wafted sweetness into the street^ the house
waa so full of fiowaxs, tea roasa, jasmine and
baskets of violets hidden in CoriWB. The
bride was dressed in silk, trimmed Sdth flow- a
era, a wreath of orange buds and half-opened
blossoms falling in a long spray on her shoul-ders
; a slender cordon of pearly,.buds fea-tooned
to the wrist, and caught to tbe cuff of
the same flowers th*t finished the lace of her
sleeve. The bride had elegant presents in
plenty, but the coat of the flowers alone at
her wedding would be a marriage portion for
moet of the girls who read this.

Window ran away from Boaton with
$200,000 of other people's money, Babbit's
steals $600,000, and now a young
hanker abaconds with all his customers' mon-ey.
This last case ia a little peculiar. The
young man squandered it all upon a woman,
but who do you suppose that waa? Why hia
own mother! She ia a very wid-ow,
forty, who has a passion for M r n H t
life. The young man, her son, ia a weak,
good fellow, who.lovee hia mother—sa very
few aona do, and can xefuae her nothing.
Whan he went into business for himeolf, ah*
emerged from the humble- boarding house
where they had lived, and took an e^ant
houae up-town, and commenced living in th*
etyle of wealthy people. She set qp ^ car-riage,—

this time was furnishing her with the means
for all this extravagance, knowing that the
end was ruin, but bis mother liked it and he
was too weak te say no. She probably knew
that abe was living beyond his " y — b ut
