ENDER. TUE LEAVES.
IMEMES3I
Under the leaves is the acorn sleeping,
Waiting the summons to wake and rise;
When two life, num its covert peeping,
The sapling rises in mute surprise.
Years pass away, and the oak in its glory,
Heavenward its giant branches heaves;
Yet the "King of the Forest," so grand in story
Today Is sleeping under the leaves.
C. C. Favor
Under the leaves are the violets 'dreaming—
Meekly bowed is each delicate head,
Waiting the vernal sdn, whose gleaming
Can call forth from their lonely bed. .
Soon will they crown, in peerless splendor,
Fit for the gerland that Loves° fondly weaves
Yet SprinY, s best gifts, so tweet end tender,.
To-day are dreaming; under the leaves.
Under the leaves are laved ones resting—
Silently resting; side by side;
Vatting the Last Great bay, for testing.
The faith in 'whose keeping they heed and
died,
One by one, they left us at the Summons fearful,
And many a laying and stricken heart grieves
For the friends whose presence made Life so
cheerful,
To day arc noting, under the leaven
Under the leaves we soon shall be lying,
Care for naught that Mortal may do
Done with the Living, yes and the Dying.!
Through with the Oid, and awaiting the New,
Few brief days—very brief at the longest,
For Health can grunt only short reprieves—
dnd then' the woataxt, not nom than the
strongest
Will all be lying under the leave,.

spondingly: .
" You are-more hopeful than I, Jane.—
Day • after 'day - I • have been in search
of employment; nave - called at - fifty'
places, only to receive the Ere answer
everywhere;"
Just then little Jimmy, who had been
asleep; wokP up.
"Mother,"-he pleaded, won't you give
me a piece bf bread ?. I'm so hungry.
"There is no bread, Jimmy, darling,"
said the mcither with an aching heart.
"When Will there be some?" asked the
child, piteously.
Tears came in the mother's eye. She
knew
kitew not-what to say.
"Jimmy, I'll bring you some bread."—
said the father hoarsley, and be seized his
hat and went to the door. -
Ilia Wife; alarmed, laid her Land upon
his sleeve. She saw the look in his eyes,
and she feared to what step desperation
-might lead; him.
" Remeniber, Robert," she said solemn
ly, "it is hard to starve, but there are
things that are worse."
He shook off her hand, but not rough
ly, and without a word passed out. .
Ont in the cold streets! That would be
his only next twine, he thought. For a
brief time longer he had the shelter of a
cheerless room in a cold tenement house,
but the rent would become due at the end
of the month, and be had nothing to meet
it.
Robert Brice was a mechanic, compe
tent and skillful. Three years since he
lived in a eountry village where his ex
penses were pretty smell and moderato,
and he fonnd no difficulty in meeting
them. But in an evil hour ho grew tired
of his Village home, and he removed to
the city. Here. he vainly hoped to do
better. For a while he met with very
good success. but he fonnd the tenement
house in which he was obliged to live, a
poor substitute for the neat little cottage
which he bad occupied in the country.
He saw his mistake and was too proud to
g.
Of course I cannot have as good ac
eommodationshere as in the country."' he
said, "bin itit Soinethfng to live in end
be in the midst of things."
" I'd rather he back again," said the
wife. "Setnehow the city dosen't seem
like home. There I used to run in and
take tea with a neighbor, and have a
pleasant and social time. Here, I know
scarcely anybody."
" You II get used to it after a while,
said her hushaud.
She did not think So, but she did not
complain.
But a time of great depression came
and with it a suspension of business en.
terpizes. Work teased for, Bobert Brice
and many:others. If he had been in his
old home, he could haio turned his hands
to something else, and at the worst could
hare borrowed of his neighbors till better
times. 'But the friendly.,relations arising
from the neighborhoodilo not exist in the
city to the same extent as in the country:
So day by day he saw his scanty sum of
money,svasfe away, and no one extended a
hand. Day by day he went out to seek
work, only. to find himself, one of a large
number, all of whom were divined to dis
appointmedt. If somehow, btif it was a
sore trial to come to a cheerless room and
a pale wife and hungry children with no .
relief to-offer them.
When on; that evening Robert Brice
went into the streets, he hardly knew how
he was going to get bread to redeem the
promise, he had made to little Jimmy. He
was absolutely penniless, and bad been so
Tor three days. -There was nothing that
ho was likely to find to do that night. .
"I will pawn my coat," he said at , last,
"I cannot see lay wife and chldren
starve, , -
It was rt well worn overcoat, and • that
cold wintrinight ; . he,needed something
more to keep hiin warm Weakened by
enforced fastening he was more sensitive
to the cold, shivered tils - he walked
along the pavement. -
"Yes,",bi said, "my coat mast go. I
know not how I shall get along. without
it; bnt ' l can't seethe children starve be

He was not in general an envious man,
but when he saw sleek, well-fed citizens?

There was one man. shorter than him
self, warmly clad, who passed...him with
hands thrust deep into the pockets of bis
overcoat.- There_ was n 'pleasant stride
upon -his face—liewas doubtless thinking
of the happy circle at home. •
Robert knew him as a rich merchant,
whose ample warehouse he often pasred-r:

to see if the movement vas notiCed. It
was not. -
The merchant went on; unheeding his
loss.
"This will buy-bread for my wife and
children," thottglit Robert instantly.
• A vision- of the comfort which the
money would bring-that cheerless room,
lightened aphis heart for an instant, but
then, for he was not dishonest, there came
anotherthon,iht. :The money was -not
his, much as he.wanted it.
"Bat, I cannot Eeo my wife and Chil
dren starve." he thought again. "If it is
wrong to keep this money God will par.
don the offence. He will understand my
motive."
"All this was sophistry, and be knew
it.
In a moment he felt it to be so. There
were some things worse than starvation.
It is his wife that had said this just before
ho.came out. Could ho meet her gaze,
when -he returned with food so obtained?
" I've lived honest so far," hethonght—
"l won't turn thief note'" ! '
It is with an effort that hipatne tothis
decision.. for all the while before his eyes
there was that vision of a cheerless home,
and he could hear Jimmy vainly asking
for food. It was With nu effort that he
stepped forward and placed his hand on
the merchant's shoulder, and extended
the hand that held the pocket-book.
" Sir," he said hoarsely, you have drop
lied your pocket-book.
"Thank you," said the merchant, turn
ing around, "I hadn't perceive my loss."
"You dropped it when you took out
your handkerchief."
"And you saw it, and picked it np, I
am very lunch obliged to you."
" You have reason to he," said Robert
in a low voice. "I came very near keep
ing it."
"That would have been dishonest," said
Mr. Grimes, his tone altering slightly..
" Yes, it would, but it's hard in a man
to be honest when ho is penniless, arid his.
wife and children tvithoutaitrust."
"Sorely you and your family.are not in
that condition ?" said the merchant ear
neatly.
"Yes," said Robert, "it . is only too
true."
"And yon are out of work?" •
"For two months I have vainly sought
for work. I applied to yon two days
since."
" I remember you now. I thought I
had seen your face before. Yon still want
work."
"I should feel grateful for it."
" A porter left me yesterday. Will you
take his place at. 812 a week
"Thankfully, sir, Iwould work for half
that."
"Then come to-morow morning, or
rather, as to-morrow will be a holiday, the
day succeeding. . Meantime take this fur
your present necessities."
He drew from his , pocket-book a bank
note and put it in Robert's. hand.
"..It's 850," said Robert. amazed.
"I know it. This pocket-book contains
81,000. But for you I shOuld haie lust
the whole."
"God bless you sir; good night ?" said
Ruben.
" Good night l"
Jane waited for her husband, in the cold
and cheerless room, which for a few days
Wooer she might call her home.
"Do yon think father will bring me
some bread ?" asked little Jimmy, as he.
nestled in her lap.
"I hope . so darling," she said, but her
heart nnsgave her. She feared it was a
delusive hope.
An hour passed—there -was a step on
the stairs—her husband's. It could not
be, for this was a cheerful, elastic step
coming up two stairs at. a time. She
looked eagerly at the door. -
Yes, it was he. Tim door opened.
Robert, radiant with joy; entered with' a
basket full of substantial pyovisions. •
"Have you got,":some -bread; lather?"
asked Jimmy, hopeful. '
"Yes, JimmY, some bread and meat
from a restanraot, and iteres a little tea
and sugar. There's a little _ wood left,
Jane, let's have a bright firesand a com
fortable meal, forpleaso God, this shall
be a comfortable nighL" .
"How did it happen? Tell me, Rob
ert."
So Robert told hid wife, and soon a
bright fire lighted up - before- a - cheerless
room.
The next week they moved to- a better
home, they have never since known what
it is to want. Robert found a firm friend
in the merchant, and has _reason to -re

Suspended Anlmattcnt.
The people of Fulton, Oswego, county,
arF greatly escitedover a ease of suspend
ed animation, or something like it, which
hab as yet baffled all investigations, and
which still remains a mystery. The facts
as!we learn them are eubstantiallias
lows:
A year or two since, Carrie F., daugh
ter of E. B. Jones, of Fulton; was mar
ried to a young man named Cotter,, and
subsequently removed to New York,
where she has since resided. Some five
months since she gavo birth to a child;
and not recovering very rapidly, she con- -
°laded to go to Fultou•to visit her par•
euts.
I Hiving:written to her father to meet
her in this city. she on Saturday morn
, ing last left New York, arriving here on
Sunday morning. Her father failing to
meet her at the depot, and, 'there being.
no train going north, she proceeded to
the residence of her brother-W.lw, on
Canal street, near Mcßride street, where
she proposed to remain over till Monday,
morning, and then 'proceed to 'Fulton.
pie appeared in good spirits during the
day, and laughed and chatted with her
friends. 'While thus engaged. in the after
noon, and white seated in a chair and in
the act of f inching, her friends were sur
prised to see her drop from her chair to
the floor to all appearance dead. Her not
sheiving any sigus of life for some time
suhsequently led her friends to suppose
that she was dead, an , she wee according
ly laid out.
A coffin was procured, and the body
placed . therein. Her life-like appearance
at that time caused comment among the
undertakers, they remarking that she
'looked more asleep than d,ead:! The
hay was conveyed to the depot and sent
to Fulton on Monday evening, and taken
to the residence of her : father, -where it
now is:
On opening the coffin at, the house the
lath of the corpse was found to be flush
ed .tind subsequent investigation revealed
the fact that her hands were warm, and
that the body was not in the least rigid
as In death, which facts have led tier
friends,to believe that oho is not dead.
IJO r to yesterday noon not the first symtom
of decomposition, was discernible. .The
singularity of the case has awakened -no
little excitement in Fulton, and hu,ndreds
off' persons have visited the house of Mr.
Jones to view the body, which still re !

have been placed at the feet, and the body

The medical fraternity of Fulton have
examined the remains,, and though' at:

made to reanimate the apparrently sleep ,

and the examining physicians are obliged
to announce that the case baffies'_thor

The Value of itinshbo..
WhateverM
ay be true - with 'regard `tti
the co-relation -of forces; it is_ perfectly
certain that the cbmbined beat,. light,
electricity, and magnetism , which we -de
rive from the sun, constitutes an import
ant hygenie agency, add . I atri inclined to
think that few - persons sufficiently appreci
ate the value of sunshine aa a productive,
conservative or curative agent. Were the
central orb in our solar to be suddenly
annihilated, every planet within the orbit
of Neptune would be chilled to. ice almost
instantanecinaly, and every living creature
on tho . surface of this earth would be life
less in a few minutes. Whetber the vivify
ing principle we receive from the great
luminary a hundred millions of miles dis
tant, be veritable entities or not, is im
material practically, however interesting
theoretically. It is enough for us who
are obliged to circle round the source of
light and heat once a year, and to be un
der its 'direct influence one-half of each
day, to know that, without a due degree
of .exposure to - energizing power, we= can
neither develop normally nor live health-
Nothing which is nutritive will grow
well in the shade. Root crops, which
grow partly or wholly ander ground, as
turnips and - potatoes, must have their top
branches well sunned or they will develop@
but imperfectly. , , Potatoes , and corn,
when planted in the shade of apple trees,
yield but a small quantity of food, and
that of an inferior quality.' And it is a
:curious and important fact that the bulbs
of the potato vines from which the plant
lutist be occasionally renewed to save the
crop froth annihilation, can grow only . in
,the sunshine. - It is true that many , fruits,
as cherries, will do well when shaded • by
leaves of the plant on which, they , grow,
but in these cases the leaves themselves
are exposed to the sun. It is not the fruit
itself that needs the sunlight so much as
the plant which 'produces it. •
Some fruits and pods, as watermelons,
corn, and wheat, can bear,•and require 'a
large amount of direct sunshine; squash
es and pumpkins need less, but MS pro
tected by large succulent and waving
leaves against ad excess. The :potata.
seems to be almost an anomaly in this
respect, requiring the- entire absence of
sunlight from its root, and its abundant
presence in the plum or bud. The potato
procreates both from its root, ishich.grows
in darkness, and its , berry,. which,grows
sunshine; but it is an interesting and in
structive fact,that its fertalizing princeple
is constantly maintained only in thatfrnit
which neccessitates its renewal by planting
the balls.
1 1 In cities the - sunnyside of the street' is
the most salubrionts. When malignant
diseases prevail, as typhus, - small-pox,
plague, cholera, etc., the worst cases are
always in those apartments 'which are
never pervaded by sansnine. Iu such
places ' too, miasmas of all kinataccumn
' late. In midoo, there are streets so nar
row that a horse and carriage cannotpass
through-them q and in ctlf large cities there
are lanes and alleyaio narrow that unless
the tenements are constructed with the
utmost regard to light and ventilation,
they must inevitably ho constant sources
of pestilence.
The ravages of the plagne during the
Middle Ages, in the Ohl. World, destroy
ing one hundred -millions of the- earth's
inhabitants, were greater in thoso cities
whoie streets were *narrowest anddarkest.
We hear but little of . the plague now.a
days, for the reason that streets aro laid
out and hOuses constructed mote its refer
ence to sanitary conditions. There is,
however; room for, improvement in this
direction,. more especiallx'with regard to
the tenement houses, which are Bull, to a
great extent, pest-breeding rookeries.'
But many' persons who have.room ,
enough; with ample wealth, do not get
all the benefit that sunshine is capable of
bestowing. Windows are too much shad
ed, as though the bright cedars of the
carpets were more important than pure
blood and fresh faces. Flies, too, mar the
polished walls and soil theglided furniture,
unless the rooms are converted into cellars.
