The Poet and Scientist:

*«* kty Ptfit Afld tbe t*ue Scientist are 46£ Gfctmngod, Th«y go forth into wtftfce like two friends. Behold them strolling through the summer fields and wood*. Th© younger of the two is much the more active *nd inquiring ; he is ever and anon jtepping aside to examine some object more tainutely, plucking a flower, treasuring * •hell, pursuing a bird, watching a butterfly ; now he turnß over a stone, peers into the marches, chips off a fragment of a rock, «nd everywhere seems intsnt on some special and particular knowledge of the things about him. The elder man has more *n air oi leisurely contemplation and enjoyment — is less curious about special objects •nd features, and more desirous of putting bimself in harmony with the spirit of the whole. But when his younger companion tas any fresh and characteristic bit of information to impart to him, how attentively he listens, how sure and discriminating is his appreciation. The intciests of the two m the universe are widely different, yet in no true sense are they ho&tile or mutually destructive.

To ttte Pußi.Ta.-I, the nna^aißned. do this Gay make the following statement, m hopes that others who have gone through a similar affliction may profit thereby :— For many months liave I l^en sick ; so had that life was a burden The mental depression and physical prostration were some! lung that cannot be described.

He examined me, and without asking a question, gave me every symptom I hatL Said lie vould treat me.
