Qumtion in Nosology.—ls " Goodness nose" a Grecian or an aquinine ? A kind physician, living near Boston wishing to smooth the last hours of a poor woman whom he was attending, asked her if there was* anything that he could do for her before she died. The poor soul, looking up, replied : " Doctor, I have always thought that I should like to have a glass butter dish before I die." Piave, who wrote for Verdi the libretti of " Trovatore," " Traviata," " Rigoletto.'' and other popular operas, is now the unfortunate inmate of a lunatic asylum. There are three things in the world that know no kind of restraint, and are governed by no laws, but merely by passions and brutality—civil wars, family quarrels, and religious disputes. If you are a wise man you will treat the world as the moon treats it. Show only one side of yourself, seldom show yourself too much at a time, and let what you show be calm, cool, and polished. But look at every side of the world. —Shirley Brookes.
