TO DR. MURDOCK
If, as the homeopathists say,Like only by like can be healed,
The mystery hid in my birthday gift
Will easily be revealed;
For as Eve by this fruit caused herself and the race
Forever with sorrow to grapple,
So I would that all sorrow from you and from yours
Might forever depart by an apple.
For—Dec. 8, 1857.
