It nut tinfrpqiintly haiiiM-iiS that serious an J distressing result are occa sioned y the aceiilentnl employment of poisons; and it occurred to us that we might do a service to some of our readers by presenting to them a brief and com pendious list of the more common poi sons and the remedies for them most likely to be close at hund. Acids These cause great beat and sensation of burning pain from the mouth down to the stomach. Kemedies Magnesia, soda, pearl-ash or soap, dissolved in water; then use stomach pump or emetics. Alkalies IJest remedy is vinegar. Ammonia Kemedy Lemon juice or vinegar; attcrwards, milk and water or flaxseed tea. Alcohol First cleanse out the stom ach by an emetic; then dash cold water on the head, and give ammonia (spirits hartshorn.) Asenic Kennedies In the first place evacuate the stomach ; then give the white of egg lime-water, or chalk and water, charcoal and the preparations of iron, particularly hydrate. Iead White lead and sugar of lead. Remedies Some cathartic, such as ca-teroil and Epsom salts especially. Charcoal In poison by carbonic gas, remove the patient to the open air, dash cold water on the lice-d and body, and stimulate the nostrils and lungs by hart-horn, at the same time rubbing the chest brisk! v. Corrosive sublimate Give white of eggs freshly mixed with water, or give wheat flour and water or soap and wa ter freely. Creosote White of eggs and the eme tics. llclladonua or uight henbane Give emetics, and then plenty of vinegar ami water or lemonade. Mushrooms, when poisonous Give emetics, and then plenty of vinegar and water, with a dose of ether,, if handy. Xitrate of Silver (lunar caustic-) Give a strong solution of common salt, and then emetics. Opium First give a strong emetic of mustard and water; then strong coll ee and acid drinks; dash cold water on the head. I-amlaniim Same as opium. N'ux Vomica First emetics; then brandy. Oxalic Acid Frequently mistakeit for Epsom salts. Kemedies Chalk, magnesia, or soap and water freely; then emetics. N itrate of Potash Give emetics ; then copious draughts of flaxseed tea, milk and water, and other soothing drinks. I'russic Acid When there is time, administer chloriue in theshaieof soda or lime. Hot brandy and water, harts horn and turpentine, are also useful. Miake Bites, etc. Apply immediately hartshorn, and take it internally; also give sweet oil and stimulants freely; apply a ligature right above the part biiteu, ami then apply a cupping glass. Tartar Emetic Give large doses of tea made of galls, Peruvian bark or white oak bark. Tobacco First an emetic; than as tringent tea: then stimulants. Verdigris Plenty of white of egg and water. In all languages there exist .sounds vowel and consonant represented by the letters of thealphabot. This, in the opinion of some linguists, is an evidence of a common origin, while naturalists hold it to be the inevitable cflW-t of the functions of an organ whose conforma tion scarcely dillers in any perceptible degree between one race aud another. Nevertheless languages differ very much in the numlter of their intonations. If, in this respect, the languages of un civilized nations stand lowest, it does not necessarily follow that the languages of the most highly-civilized peoples must hold the highest rank. The Hin dustani is distinguished by an unparal leled abundance of consonants; the Semitic languages surpass the Greek and Latin, as also the languages of modern Europe; thedialectsot Polyne sia afford instances of the greatest loverty of consonant sounds. Ot the lluronsand Mohawks of North Amer ica, who habitually kept the mouth open, it is asserted that they knew nothing of theuseofthe labials articu lations so natural to us that we might be disposed to regard them as instinc tive, sundry nations eschew the use of hissing and trilling sounds; others have no gutturals. Some years ago, preferences for harshness or for soil ness of language seemed to us to show that neither the vocal organs nor the auditory perceptions are absolutely identical in all races of mankind; this Is now rendered more probable by mul tiplied observations and exeriinents. We know how great is the difficulty of rendering certain sounds in a foreign language, and hence it is that words change in migrating from place to place. The Chinese invariably substi tute the soft for the hard trill, and this substitution is common among other nations. The Polynesians put gutturals in the place of dentals, and the mis sionaries who are educating the youth of the Hawaiian Islands have had to abandon sounds that the people are un able to pronounce. It is almost as diffi cult rightly to hear as it is correctly to imitate articulations foreign to one's own tongue; travelers hardly ever agree in their representations of names that they have heard pronounced by natives. Are differences of voice aud of auditory perception the result to a small extent of organization, but to a greater extent of early education f One is tempted to believe that such is the case. But experiment and observation, hitherto very limited, have not yet thrown upon this subject the light of cieuti tic truth. Popular Science Monthly. Tbe Climate ol Koine. There is a subtle influence in this pe culiar climate of Koine which, in act ive life, is favorable to the perform ance of swift acts, line projects, any thing that can be speedily carried out; but it lacks a certain supporting strength when a crisis arrives, sudden trials, accidents and the untoward events of business. At such supreme moments men sink instead of rising equal to the occasion, as they do in colder Northern climates. The influ ence of the Koman climate is delight ful, however, in its erl'oct on the stu dent. It gives long breaths to mental application ; it is favorable to clear and quiet thinking, and patient, end less, untiring study. It is esiecially suited to the old ecclesiastical life of Rome, which had for its first rules ; early to bed ; long sleeps, quiet and undisturbed; leisurely rising, an hour or two after the sun had purified the air; frugal wholesome meals, taken at reasonable hours ; and an utter ab scence of vexations. The shibboleth of good breeding in that old Vatican society was the avoidance in conver sation of all disagreeable subjects, no matter bow prominent they might he.

The Jour nal of the, Farm tells how to know the age of a horse as follows: The colt is born with twelve grinders; when four front teeth have made their appear ance the colt is twelve days old, am when the next four come forth, it is four weeks old. When the corner teeth appear the colt Is eight months old ; when the latter have attained to the height of the front teeth it Is one year oldl The two-year-old colt has the kernel (the substance in the middle of the tooth's crown) ground out in all the front teeth, lu the third year the middle front teeth are being shifted, aHd when three years old these are substituted by the horse teeth. The next four teeth are shifted in the fourth year, and the corner teeth in the fifth. At six years the kernel is worn out of the lower middle front teeth, and the bridle teeth have now attained to their full growth. At seven years a hook has been formed in the corner teeth of the upper jaw, the kernel of the teeth next at the middle is worn out, and the bridle teeth begin to wear off. At eight vears, the kernel U worn out of the lower lront teeth.and begins to decrease in the middle upper front. In the ninth year, the kernel has wholly dis appeared from the upper middle front teeth ; the hook on the corner has In creased in size, and the bridle teeth lose their points. In the tenth year, the kernel is worn out of the teeth next to the middle front of the upper jaw. and in the eleventh year the kernel has entirely vanished from the corner teeth of the same jaw. At twelve years old, the crown of all the front teeth in the lower jaw have become triangular, ami the bridle teeth are much worn down. As the horse advances in age, the gums shrink away from the teeth, w hich con sequently, receive a long narrow ap pearance, and their kernels have be come metamorphosed in a darkish point, grar hairs Increase In the forehead and over the eyes, and the chin assumes the form of an angle. Xf.w Competition with IUirvmkx. According to the the New York Tribune a new source of supply for the Xew York butter market has been opened, which cannot fail to convey an em phatic lesson to American dairymen. That paper gays that 4,butter is actually brought from France and sold by the New York dealers. And this is thus because there is an actual scarcity in the market of good butter put up in an attractive shaie lor small customers. When we know that one dairyman gets $1.15 a pound for his products, another $1, and another 73 cents the year round at his dairy door, it Is easily seen that it will pay to bring butter across the ocean Irom France, if it is only good and shapely enough to suit the fastid ious purchasers who will have some thing nice, whatever it may cost. All this butter is made from choice cows, choicely fed on clean sweet food. The milking Is done in the cleanest manner. The milk is handled as though it were nectar, the cream is churned with clock and thermometer, the butter is worked with skill, and made up In shapely cakes, which do not require to be cut when brocght to the table. Compare then, this cake hard, golden yellow, sweet, fragrant, and tempting to all the senses with an unsightly chunk, which is out of a greasy keg and smells of old sge and rancidity, aud is made from ill-kept cream from cows filthily lodged and carelessly milked, and is churned anyhow, and the difference is amply accounted for. The clover of a single sere has been found to leave nitrogen enough for one hundred and sixteen bushels of wheat, phosphoric" acid enough for one hun dred and fourteen bushels, and potash enough for seventy-eight bushels. Moreover, it is found that most ot this valuable material is left in the best pos sible condition for use. Whether the nitrogen of the clover conies wholly or partly from the soil or air, it Is cer tainly taken from a condition in which It is of little use to most crops, and la converted into an available one. So that, practically, the clover is a creator of nitrogen in the soil, as it is also an ellicient purveyor of iiotasli and phos phoric acid. AfiJetnu'i Journal, speaking of the fitness of the work of planting trees during the centennial year says: Could we devise a better way for signally commemorating this epoch in our national liter Each tree thus planted would be a monument of our rever ence to the past, and a blessing for the future: and by this generous fore thought the next centennial would be celebrated in a land of orchards, wooded hills, green lanes, in groves that would be lit temples for the Dryads, and in towns hid among arching boughs and crowned with sylvan beautr. Let autumn witness a renewed in terest and energy in planting trees. The Most Profitable Stock to Raise. The Journal ol the Koyal Az rieultural Society of England gives the results of hioniries nut to seven tv-rive J farmers as to the relative profits of rais ing horses, cattle and sheep, the pre ponderanee of testimony is that raising horses, except tor tarm use, does not pay, and that farm horses can he raised cheaper than purchased. That when grass land is adapted to it cattle raising is adrisable, feeding high so as to turn them off for beef at two years old or a little more. That sheep are the easiest turned ot any stock, more easily man aged, and with far less labor. A housekeeper thus gives what is, in her opinion, one practicable and de licious mode of escape from the evils of an enormous tieach crop: lake the thoroughly riie, mellow fruit, scald and remove the skins; place the halves on an earthen or suitable metal sur face: sprinkle over them a little good sugar, and dry rapidly by a high beat; or they may be scalded in syrup, skimmed out and dried. Then pack in close vessels, and they will keep foi years in any climate, provided you keep your lingers oil' them, for they are really delicious, and are less cloying than common raisins. What Crops Leave i.n the Soil. Dr, Weiske made in Germany with several other savants, experiments that show that the stubble and roots left in the earth by crops that have been harvested add to the soil more nutritive value than is commonly supposed. The-e ex periments fully explain the great value of clover as a preparatory crop for wheat, and all oilier crops that are not manured with nitrogen, potash and phosphates. Wnrjt corn arrives at full roasting ear state it can be most piotitably fed by being cut and fed stalk and ear to gether, since at no period is there more sugar which is necessary in fattening to be found in the plant. And then hogB eat every part with an appetite that shows their appreciation ot the dainty food provided for them. Evert load of corn, wheat, hay or other product removed from the farm, takes from the soil and crops, and un less their equivalent is returned to the land in the form of manure, the amount of each succeeding crop will be dimin ished, nntil the land will no longer yield a remunerating return for the labor of cultivation. There is nothing more efficacious we know of as a general fruit tree wash than white-oil soap, taking about one pound to four gallons of water, and ap plying with a hand scrubbing brush. But all fruit trees containing loose bark should have it ecraited off before applying the wash. Germantovm Tele graph.

For a long time it has been well known to wire-drawers that, after cleaning iron wire with snlphnric acid the metal be comes brittle. Further, if a piece of iron wire, cleansed with snlphnric acid, be bent rapidly to and fro till it is bro ken, and the fracture be then mois tened with the tongue, bubbles of gas arise from it, causing it to froth. If, then, this same wire le left in a warm room for some days, it will be found, by such simple treatment, to have re gained the toughness which originally characterized it. and not to froth when broken and the fracture moistened. Experiments made in this direction, recently, have shown that hydro-chloric, acetic, and other acids which give off hydrogen by their action on iron, produce the same effect as the above, making it probable that hydtogen is the cause of the change a view which is continued by collecting the gas given oft of the surface of the iron and burn ing it, when the characteristic flame of hydrogen is seen. Putting the facts together, it seems probable that a portion of the hydro gen generated by the action of the acid la occluded, and sobseqently given off this taking place either rapidly, as when the iron is heated by the effort of breaking it, or more slowly, in the cold. Xew Comifensatiiig Pendulum. Vro fesssor J. Lawrence Smith has recently iuvented a new compensating pendu lum, in which he avails himself of the Vreat expansibility of ebonite, which, between i deg. and IIS deg Fall., ap proaches that of mercury. 1 he pen dulum rod is of steel, with an adjust ing screw at the lower end ; and a round rod of vulcanite, with a hole in the centre, is passed on to the steel rod, fitting it loosely and being held in place by the adjusting screw. The bob of the jiendulum consists of a heavy piece of brass, with a hole through the center large enoneli to ad mit the vulcanite, over which it pas ses, and, hy a properly arranged stop, rests on the end of the vulcanite fur thest from the lower end of the pen dulum, so that any expansion of the vulcanite elevates the brass bob, thus compensating for the downward ex pansion of the steel rod and brass bob. Professor Smith says that four month's use of this pendulum on an astronomi cal clock has given very satisfactory results. It can te adapted, at a cost of 'M cents, to the ordinary mantle piece clock, the pendulum of which usually beats in half seconds. Hotc to straighten Shifts. J. J. Hill savs : "The following is a gixnl way to straighten shafts that have been sprung by heat or otherwise. Lay the shaft on liearings at each end, with the arched side up, alxtnt 1 foot from the ground ; then build a tire (wood will answer) under the part or parts to be straightened. When hot. chill the top side, which is to be straightened, with water, which can be best done with a swab ; continue the heating and chilling till the work is complete. Al low the heat to come back to the top side between each chilling, to quicken the process, and to ascertain when com plete. After the shaft is hot, a very little fire will be required to continue the heat. I think that any kind or size of metal shafting can be straight ened by this process. I made the ex periment on a wrought iron shaft 5 in ches in diameter and 12 feet long, that was sprung 3 inches by being burnt id a mill. It was only two hours from the time I built the fire under it till it was perfectly straight. Colors for Confectioner and Food. I he police of Pans have uirectea that the following substances be employed for coloring articles of food or confec tionerv; Blue: Indigo and its deriva tives, l'rnssian blue. Red : Cochineal, carmine, Brazil wood lake, orchil. Yel low: Saffron, Avignon yellow berry, quercitron, fustic, turmeric. Green ; Mixture of Prussian blue and logwood (Campeacby wood). Violet: Mixture of carmine and l'russian blue. The use of the following pigments is prohibited : xide of copper, blue cop per salts, red lead. Vermillion, chrome yellow, gamboge, white lead, Schwein furt aud Scheele's green (Paris green). For coloring drinks they recommend C'uracoa logwood ; for absinthe, solu ble indigo blue with saff ron ; for blue liquids, soluble indigo blue, Prussian blue, and ultramarine. We notice that, singularly ennngh, aniline colors are omitted from the list of prohibited colors. The question as to whether there is any snch thing as spontaneous com bustion of the living human body is decided by M. Chassagniol of Brest, after a thorough examination of all the conflicting accounts on record, abso lutely in the negative. Many authors have athnned that the Ixxly on tnese oceasionsof alleged combust ion, burned with a blue flame, and diffused an em nvreumatic odor, but these character istics are met with in many kinds of combustions; instances have also been sought for by M. Chassngniol among alcoholic drinkers, especially among women, but without success. The idea has been that the alcohol in drinkers takes tire. It is a fact however, that dead bodies, or portions of dead bodies. burn but verv slowly, even after hav ing been steeped in alcohol for some days. Burns and Scalds. The recent fear ful explosion on board the British iron clad Ihunderer has called out the pub lication ot many wipes and reme dies. Among them allthe following, contributed by an old and experienced physician, has the merit of conveni ence and readiuess. The remedy is simply this: The common whiting of commerce (found in nearly every kit then), reduced by cold water to the consistence of thick cream, is to be spread on a light linen rag, and the whole burnt surface instantly covered. and thus excluded from the action of the air. The ease it affords is instan t a neons, and it only requires to be kept moist by subsequent occasional sprink lings ot cold water rurifuinij Water irith Alum. Alum will only purify water from organic impurities, wtiicli it win precipitate in the same manuer as it precipitates dis solved coloring matter in the manufac ture of lakes from dry woods, etc. One teaspoonful of pulverized alum in four gallons of water is sufficient. If the water contains such an anion nt of mi purities that this quantity will not pa rify it, it is unlit for drinking purpo scs. In the artificial manufacture of ire from Mississippi river water, at .New Orleans, this method is emnloved to purify the water before freezing it. How trhile Sir Buttons are made. Some varieties of these buttons are made as follows: Finely powdered steatite is saturated with soluble ghuts, dried and repulverizaxl, and the pow der thus obtained is pressed into molds by suitable machinery. They are then baked or tired in ovens, again dipped in a solution of soluble glass, and sub jected a second time to the tiring pro cess. hen cold, they are polished by uewjr piaccu in a roiaiiug casK wun water, dried, and again polished by to tatiorf in a similar cask with soapstone powder. The Spirophorus. The above is the name of a new device proposed by Mr. Woillez for restoring partially suffoca ted people. The patient is enclosed in a metal cylinder, so that only bis head protrudes ; connected with the cylinder is a large bellows holding five or six gallons of air. When this is operated, the air is alternately drawn out and forced into the cylinder, thug causing artificial respiration in the patient. The movement of the chest of the lat ter can be seen through a pane of glass in the cylinder. A gentleman has named two cana ries "Wheeler" and ' Wilson." Ills reason for this appellation is that neither of them are "Singers." Do not be content in doing what others have done ; surpass it. DOMESTIC. To Can Sweet Corn. Very many fail in their attempts to can green corn for winter use. The following is one of the best methods, which we take from the American Grocer, and we advise all who wish to can-corn to preserve direc tions: The corn should he picked when just milk ripe. After husking, the kernels are cut from the cob with a gauged knife and the cob scraped to get all the juices. Next It is placed In tin cans without admixture (though sometimes a little sugar is added to poor corn) and sealed up airtight. Then comes the "processing" or boiling, viz :. subject ing the can and contents to the heat of boiling water Irom one to tnree nourt, according to the size of the can. This can only be determined by experiment. Next they are taken from the boiling water and a small hole punched In the top of a can, to allow the escape of the gases, and instantly resealed, after which the can is replaced in the hot bath and allowed to remain as long or longer than at first. Washing Fluid. For four gallons take four pounds of sal soda, four ounces of bo'ax and two and a half pounds of lime. Dissolve the borax and soda together, add water to the lime, boil it, adding water sufficient to fill the jug, let it settle, then- add the other ingre dients. To wash, heat a boiler two thirds full of water; make a good suds; add a teacup of the fluid, when boiling hot put in your clothes, naving pre viously wrung them through water cold or warm; boil ten or n I teen nun utes, suds, rinse and hangup. If soap be put on dirty places Dslure Polling, it must be well rubbed in. or it will spot them. To each successive boiling of clothes should be added more ot the fluid, according to the quantity of clothes. The above recipe will bleach the clothes somewhat, without injury, anu is a great help to the neat housekeeper, in pushing her work on .Monuay morn ing To purify rooms, dissolve some chloride of lime in a saucer and place in the apartment. Tenntrotaland Potash. TheSh'cn- tiie American says that If mosquitoes or other bloodsuckers infest our sleeping rooms at night, we uncork a bottle of the oil or pennyroyal, and these insects leave in great haste, nor will they re turn so long as the air of the room is loaded with the fumes of that aromatic herb. If rats enter the cellar, a little powdered potash, thrown in their holes, or mixed with meal and scattered In their runways, never fails to drive them away. Cayenne pepper will keep the buttery and store room free from ants aud roaches. If a mouse makes an en trance into any part of your dwellings. saturate a rag with cayenne. In sola tion, and stuff it into the hole, which can then be repaired with either wood or mortar. No rat or mouse wili eat that rag for the purpose of opening communication with a dejwt of supplies, Turkish Rick Pudding. Pick and wash half a pound of rice; prepare also half a pound or atite currants, wtiicn must be carefully picked clean, washed through two waters, drained well, and spread out to dry on a flat dish before the fire; put the rice into a saucepan with a quart of rich milk, then add four ounces of broken up loaf sugar, on which you have rubbed off the yellow rind ot a large lemon and squeezed the juice; stir lu two ounces of fresh butter divided into small pieces; when the rice is well swollen and quite soft take it from the fire aud mix with it eight well-beaten yolks of eggs; transfer it to a deep dish and put it in the oven for half an hour. Serve up warm. A nice sauce for this pudding is the whites of the eggs used in It, beaten to a irom with powdered sugar and flavored with lmou. A Floating Island.

Place a lump or unslaked lime where they frequent. Set a dish or tray, con taining a little Deer or syrup at the bottom, and place a few sticks slanting against its sides, so as to form a sort ot gangway for the beetles to climb up by when they will go headlong in the bait set for them. Mix equal weights of red lead, sugar and flour, and place it nightly near their haunts. This mix ture, made into sheets, forms the beetle wafers sold at the shops. Scotch Broth. Take four pounds of mutton part of the leg is liest add one gallon water, one teacupful of earl barley, two carrots sliced, two onions cut small, three carrots grated, the white part of a large cabbage choped very small, and a small quantity ol parsley.

The vessel was lost on a rock-bound roast during a severe storm ; bnt the little girl was saved through the etlorts of some heroic men. She was too young to tell her story, but, by ft series of providential events, was brought at last to the house of ft friend of her parents, just as released from impri sonment, they anived in England to seek their long lost darling. A fa miliar tune that the mother had taught her little girl in former days, became the clue that led to their joyini meet ing. A remarkable incident is that of a Scottish youth, who learned with a pi ous mother to sing the old psalms that were as household words to them in the kirk and by the fireside. When he grew np he wandered away from his native country, waa taken captive by the Turks, aud made a slave in one of the Barbary States. But he never tor mt the songs of Zion. although he sang them in ft strange land and to heathen ears. One night he was s lacing himself in this manner, when the attention of some sailors on board ot an English man-of-war was directed to the familiar tone of "I ld Hundred," as it came tloatingover the moonlit waves, At once they surmised the truth, that one of their countrymen was languish ing away his life as a captive. Quickly arming themselves, they manned a boat, and lost no time in etl'ecting his release. What a joy to htm atter eigh teen long years passed in slavery ! CAWils HorUt. SiralloKed a IHctionaru.

Jack's father, sitting at the other side of the room, heard a portion of the remark, and turning, saw his son s red face as shame forced him to try and get out the word. But there it stuck, and it gave htm great trouble to eject it, even in syllables. The father sprang from his seat in alarm, aud ex- cueiiiy crieu : "My son is choking!' The other members of the family hastened to Jack s side, and their anx ious faces were soon lighted up with merriment when they were told that Jack bad only been suffering from a word which had lodged crosswise in his throat, Jack now uses smaller words.

It is a hard saving, but a true one. that many professed Christians are not seemingly happy themudves, neither do tney neip to make others happy around them. Why is it so? It is because thev are trying to get ready for the next world, altogether forgjttin? it is their duty to make themselves ami thnv around them happy in this? It is very important to know how to live wisely and happily in this world. The earthly life is to be lived here. We do not know much about the other world : if the hea venly gates are ajar, we can only catch a faint glimpse, now and then, of the beauty there is within. God loves beau. ty in this world; every flower that uiooms, every tree that waves, proves this; so it becomes us to make our own lives and homes as beautiful and happy as within us lies, trusting the future in the hands or God. The religion that does not make us and those around m better and happier in this life is not worth having; and they who strive to do this are serving God as truly as upon their bended knees, or In the services of the sanctuary. Then, If we are ever striving to make others happy, it will increase ourown happiness. In this wnrl.l and in the world to come. San Jose. Cal.. has boon anwt 1 Fourth of Jlllv orator.

First, they cleaned the window that n...ru n.rht miirlit coma i i to its leaves; then, wlien not too cold, they would 0en the window so mat iresn air iingm help the plant to grow. Next, the clean window made the rest of the room look so untidy that they used to wash the tloor and walls and arrange the furni ture more neatly. This led the father or the ramily to mend a broken chair or two, which kept him home several eve nings. Alter the work was done, he stayed home, instead or spending his leisure at a tavern, and the money thus saved went to buy comforts for them al'. And then, as the home grew attractive, the whole family loved it and each other better than ever before, and grew healthier and happier with their flow ers. Thus the little plant brought a real as well as a physical blessing. Tjrlaa Parple. The Tyriau purple was one of the principle articles of luxury among the ancients. The color was communicated by means if several species of univalve shell-lish. Pliny mentions twoof these, one called buccinum, the other purpura. One drop only of the liquid dye, could be obtained from a small vessel or sac in the throat of each mollusc. The color appears to have been very dura ble. Plutarch observes in his Life of Alexander, that, at the taking of Susa, the Greeks found in the royal treasury of larius, a quantity of purple stuffs of the value of j,uw talents, which still retained its beauty, though it had Iain there for l'JO years. rJT"Bravery is a good thing.
