VICTOR HUGO ON IMMORTALITY

I feel in myself the fature life. lam like a forest whloh has been more than once cut do wo. ' The new shoots are 1 itroriger and livelier than ever. lam I rising I know, towards the sky. The sun • ■bine h over my bead. The earth gives me its generous sap, but heaven lights me ./with the refleotlon of unkoown worlde. - You say tbat the aonl is nothing but the resultant of bodily por etß. Why, then, is*my soul the more luminous when my bodily powers begin to fail 1 Winter Is on say bead and eternal sprlDg is Id my heart, Then 1 breathe at this boor the fragrance of the liUles, the violets, and the roaes as ■t twenty years. The nearer I approach ; the end the plainer I hear around me the Immortal symphonies of the *orld wbloh •" Unite me. It is nuryelloui, yet simple. It is a fairy tale, and It Is history. For half a century I have been writing my thoughts In prose, verse, history, philosophy, drama, romance, tradition, aatUe. ode, song—l have tried all. But I feel that I have not said the thousandth part of what Is in me. When Igo down to the grave I can say, like so many others, " I have finished my day's work," but I cannot say, " 1 have finished my life." Mi day's work will begin again next morning. The tomb Is not a blind alley; it Is a thoroughfare. It closes In the twilight to open with the dawm, I Improve eyety hour beoause I love this world as my fatherland. My work Is only • beginning. > My work Is hardly 'above Iks foundation. I would be glad to see It mounting and mounting for ever. The thirst for the 1l finite pioves Infinity.

CHRISTCHURCH CORN EX CHANGE REPORT

Com Exchange. Report for week ending 'Friday; Feb. 7th; 1890 :— The wear her during the past week has been all that could-be desired for the incoming crop, and a large area is now ready for cutting. , Farmers have consequently been busy with their harvest operation*, and transactions ' have been limited to parcels ex store, no sales of new crop of any magnitude having come under notice. WHEAT will open at prices regulated by London advices. It is vet too early to report 1 on the average sample of the new crop; Oats have a poor prospect, good old sam ples have been placed at is sd, and stocks are : Heavy. It will be seen from this that the out look for the new grain is most unsatisfactory to 'growers, and we are not surprised to hear that in many cases owners have decided to " stack, . thatch, and insure." ,-. Barley.—No threshed samples to hand. Grass Sbkd.—Ryegrass : but few samples ' 6a •tier, and so far the quality is under stan dard. Cocksfoot has not been offered in any qumtitji Reports speak w«U of the crop, notwithstanding tbe weather on the Peninsula : - having been at the earlier portion of the season unfavorable. ■•>, Dairy Produce. —I'he arrival ofthes.s. j . Manari is opportune, and the shipments of Butter going forward by her should reach London at the end of March, and before the ' Continental supply is in full swing, come* quentiy skippers may expect good returns for parcels by the pioneer vessel of the new cargo boats which are henceforth to be on the berth ' to London.

THE FEDERATION CONFERENCE

[by elkoibio telegbaph—copybight]

[Pik Prbbs Association.) (Beoelved February 7, 12.2 p.m.) MILBOUBMK, February 7, The Conference reserves to itself the right of excluding the Press when in Committee. : The following is the full text of feir Hemy Parkes' notice of motion:—" In the opinion of this Conference the best interests and the present and future prosperity of the Australian colonies will be promoted by their early union under the Crown, and while fully recognising the valuable services of the members of the Convention of 1883 in founding the Federal Council, this Conference de clares its opinion that the seven years which have elapsed have developed a national life in Australia—in population, in wealth, in discovery of resources, and in self-governing capacity—to an extent which justifies the higher act, at all times contemplated, of union of these colonies in one legislative and executive Government, based upon principles of justice to the several colonies." Mr Deakin's notice—"That the members of Conference take such steps as may be deemed necessary to induce the Legislatures of their respective colonies to appoint delegates to the National Convention, to consist of a certain number of representatives from each of the self-governing colonies and a certain number of members from other Crown colonies ; that, as it is apparent sometime may elapse before a Federal constitution is obtained, and as it is desirable that united action should be taken to provide military defence, and other urgent matters, it is desirable that a Federal Council be employed for such a purpose."

TEN MONTHS SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL

There is an old saying that physicians are a class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know less. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with tnese medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own trade by outsiders who have never studied medicine. They therefore pay, fry their frc-' quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " Hill Mark" An eminent physician—Dr Brown«Sequard, of Paris—states the fact accurately when he says : " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit tW i they allow the diamond truths of scier/£ e fo^ picked up by persons entirely fcutside their ranks." We give a most investing incident, which illustrates this important truth. The Stean«sliip "Concordia," of the Dc&iidson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman, for fourteenyears on various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had born the hard and exhausting Üb<?r, and had been healthy and strong. On

01 the trip we now name he began for the first 10, time to feel weak and ill. His appetite o f failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heart ,t burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness )( j and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of giddiness, but 1 supp sed it to be caused by the heat of the ( fire room. Quite often he was sick and .felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria General Hospital, and [the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day thej visiting »• physician gave him a mixture to take fvery four r: hours. Within two days Wade waf so much jr worse that the doctors stopped both, the powders and the mixture. A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and worse.! - Then came another doctor, who was to; be ; visiting physician for the next five months* He' gave other medicines, but not much relief. '' Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up'all BJ he ate. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powdejrs, one after each meal to digest the food, operat iug pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats.' If drugs could''cure him at all, Rcihardhad an idea that he took enough to do it, But ion j the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctors took ninety ounces of matter from his right side, and then told him he was sure to die.. Five months more rolled by, and there was another change of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said node him i tremble like aleaf on a tree. •— ■• | At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself.. He refused to stand any more dosiqg, and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By thjs time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there. for days. - Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on fa shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let hr,rn tell the rest.of his experience in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press. , He says,;, " When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to bean angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive. She told me of a medicine called ' Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only a few days' time I was out of bed calling for ham and eggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping on. with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind," : . The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion; We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Stob cross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach him,
