THE FIELD OF CORN. 



Let others praise the myrtle flowers, 



From southern summers sprung ; 

 Tlie glory of Italian bowers, 



By bard and beauty sung j 

 While Rosalie's endearing grace 



Is in my mem'ry borne, 

 I'll not forget our ttysting-place 



Was in the field of corn. 



The branching vines beneath our feet 



No purple clusters bore, 

 But fruit more sunny-hucd and sweet — 



The pumpkin's yellow store. 

 The plaintive quail that harbored near 



Prolonged his note forlorn. 

 And every sigh and sound was dear 



Among the Indian corn. 



The green and trailing leaves at last 



Were faded, crisp, and sere, 

 And over them the Autumn blast 



Bewailed their ruin drear. 

 By reapers from the tasselled stalk 



The golden ear was torn. 

 And desolate became our walk 



Wilhin the field of corn.

Consumption. — A late periodical expresses an 

 opinion that a cure for consumption will nevei be 

 discovered — that the great French Pathologists 

 have at length shown the fallacy of all such hopes. 

 " As well," continues the writer, " might we hope 

 to produce by artificial means the absorption of 

 the liver, or the brain, as to cfYect by medicine 

 the absoi'ijtion of already imbedded tuberculous 

 matter." 



We dilTer from tliis author entirely in this mat- 

 ter and should much regret if his sentiments 



should be generally adopted by the faculty. Tu- 

 bercular consumption has been cured — and con- 

 sequently it can be cured — and we hope that a 

 mode will yet be deviseil for efTectually removing 

 tubercles from the lungs, and thus check at least, 

 if not put a stop to the ravages of one of the most 

 deadly diseases incident to civilized man. Jn this 

 vicinity well authenticated cases can be cited, 

 where persons have been afflicted with disease, 

 accompanied with the pathognomonics of con- 

 sumpiion — they liave afterwards recovered, much 

 to the joy of their friends, and surprise of their 

 physicians, have died of another disease after the 

 lapse of years, and on a post mortem examination, 

 it has been ascertained by the ajuiearance of 

 ceoatrices on the lungs, i,-c. that tubercles of large 

 size once existed there, and which, owing to some 

 cause, were Iiap]iily removed. Such cases we 

 presume are by no means nnfrcquent. Let us then 

 hear no more of the doctrine that ttibercular con- 

 sumption, when so far advanced that it may be at 

 once recognized by the symptoms, is incurable. 

 On the contrary, let well directed efforts be iriade 

 to provide a cure for this horrible disease. — Bos- 

 ton Med. Jour.
