THREE KISSES OF FAREWELL
Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn. slow
Not like the swift and joyous ones
e used to
When we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to ta,t, love's sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the Summer
Laylsties heat .
But as they kiss cc !lose hearts are wrung,
When hope an.! fear are spent,
And nothing is 1t:! to give, except
A sacrament!
First of the three. my darling,
Is sacred unto i .in;
We have hurt cart other often,
We shall again,
When we pine bee, tse we miss each other,
And do not and r land
Flow the written it rds are so much colder
Than eve and hat. !.
I kiss thee, dear, for dl such pain
Which we may gi , - or take;
Buried, torgiven ben •r it comes,
Fur our love's saki
The second kiss; my i .riftg„
Is full of joy's swot thrill ;
We have blessed each Ater always,
We always will
We shall reach until a Heel each other,
Beyond all time and -pace;
We shall listen till we ,ear each other
In•every place ;
The earth is full of EU el, nge rs ,
Which love sends to a d fro;
I kiss thee, darling, for a. joy
Which we shall know
The last kiss, oh ! my darlng
My love-1 cannot see
Through my tears, a: I rt .Lember
What it may be.
We may die and neyer so, ach other,
• Die with no time to eat
Any sign that our hearts Iv' faithful
To die, as live,
Token of what they will nr , see
Who sec our parting
This on, last kiss, my darlin,, seals
The seal of death l
TOKEiS
The murmur of a waterfall
A mile away,
The rustle when a robin light
On dipping boughs,
The sound of grazing from a ,erd
Ot gentle cows,
The echo from a wooded hill
Of cuckoo's call,
The quiver through the meadop.grass
At evening fall :
Too subtle are these harmonies
For pen and rule, •
Such music is not understood
By any school ;
But When the brain is orerwroupt,
It hail] a spell,
Beyond all human skill and powe,
To make it well.
The memory of a kindly word
For long gone by,
The fragrance of a fading flower
Sent lovingly,
The gleaming of a sudden smile
Or sudden tear,
The warmer preure of the hand,
The tone of cheer,
The hush that means, "1 cannot spent
But I have heard !"
The note that orly bears a verse
From Go,i's own word
Such tiny things we hardly count
As ministry ;
The givers deeming they have shbwn
Scant sympathy ;
But when the heart is overwrought
Oh. who can tell
The power of such tiny things •
To make it well!

Rogers was a vehement partisan of the
rebel cause, and took every opportunity
of pointing out the advantages to be de

Confederacy. At first he quietly up-.
proached Moon on the subject, but fli,d
ing him steadfast is his devotion to his

young Moon, hoping by this means to

The tide of war at length swept over
the region of country where raplar

mole elated with treason than usual, he
swore a great oath Harvey Moon shoold

to this period Moon had kept very quiet,
and not indulged in the boisterousness

in pursuance of his purpose, went di-(

"That sounds very fair." returned Rog

doubt you would do all you promise in a
private way ; but we are not speaking of
the community of Poplar Bluff, we are
talking about the Southern Confederacy."
"I know no such country or govern•

Smith Rogers now approached the spot
where Moon was standing, and held out
his brawney hand, which Moon clasped,
'We won't part in bad blood, H-rvey,'
said Rogers ; can't help remembering
that we have been good friends these
many years. Once again, Harvey. 1-t me
ask you to consider this matter. You are
among your friends, and yGnuor,' and he
pointed in the direction of the church
yard, 'yonder, I say, lie the ashes of the
ante you once loved. -We all loved her,
Harvey, for she was a good and true wo
men, and had a tender heart. Say, can
you leave her grave, and wipe out her
memory by turning your hand against
the land where she is buried ?'
For an instant the strong man's heart
was bowed by the appeal of lingers. His
eyes grew misty as they followed the i.i
rection of the tempter's finger. But a'l
hie weakness was only momentary.
'As Heaven is my witness,' he said in
slow and solemn tones, will never turn
my hand aganst the South. I don't ap
prove all that has been done among us
this subject, and I also am free to say
I don't indorse the extreme measures that
are taking place among the free States.'
'Harvey, said Rogers, in a low voice,
'how will Jacob bear the news ? It will
be a sad blow to his hopes. He loves my
Molly.'
I shall not influence Jacob one-way or
`Do any of von knoW where Moon is

'And not likely to be,' returned the

toward the speaker said, 'Before you

'Xtver mind what Smith says, Uncle

"IL• don't mean to offend you. Tell him

`Ci , rtaiiily not,' replied Rogers, offering

sorrow Molly receiv-d a letter from Jacob

endeavor to win her father over to the

that if he would conduct himself as a

that he would one day return to chase

•Tnere 14 one thing I command you to

Rogers semt to Lake St. - Francis; for
clergyman. When his daughter: knew

that he had done so, she took a few pro
visions, and placing them in a bag,wateh
ed for Inc shades of night to fall. Her
father had a horse, about the only one
left of a dozen he had brought away with
him. Mollie went to the stable, and
saddling the beast, sprang upon his back,
and galloped off in the darkness towards
the Missouri line. Before morning she
had gamed the shelter of a wood, but the
poor animal, having'cast a shoe, had be-.
come lame. There wa no time for halt
ing, however; she urged him forward un
til she. found it was impossible to use him
further, when she cast him loose and be
gan hi r journey on foot.
During the entire ten days that she was
on her way, she only passed four nights
under the cover of friendly roofs. "Pis
true, she had the good fortune to meet
several persons going the same road she
was pursuing, who took her in their wa
gons, and lielry-d her on the way. But
after she parted from them she was forc
ed to continue her journey on foot. She
was sick at times, and had it not been
for ti.e strong mental excitement under
which she was laboring, she would have
become ill. She was,fleeing from prose
hution. It gave her'strength. She was
ring to her old: home, to meet Jacob.
:he would send for her mother. All
these things were present to her mind.
While the dearest object of his heart
was suffering for her thle:ity to him, Jacob
Moon had joined a column of troops who
were penetrating to Arkansas. He acted
as a guide for he was well versed in the
roads of the country. Molly and Jacob
were approaching each other, though
unconscious of it. The soldiers were
traversing a heavy wood one day, and
Jacob was with the advance guard, when
Molly Rogers heard their approach. In
a moment of terror she hid herself
among some thick bushes, and stood still
to listen. Presently several soldiers ap
peared, and with them Jacob Moon.—
Molly could not see them, and in mak
ing an effort to push aside the- leaves, she
made a noise. Jacob Moon laid his hand
upon one of the seldier's arms.
"Stop," he said, in a low voice, as his
quick eves detected a movementa mong
the bushes, "do you see that clumpjust
there?" and he pointed in the direction
indicated. "There's something moving
there. Aim luw and fire."
The next moment the report of a mus
ket rang through the forest, and a pierc
ing scream followed. In an•instant the
guard dashed forward, and a cry of as
tonishment came from their lips.
"Tie a woman," cried the soldier who
had fired the shot. "Had I only knowd
t in time this mischief might h‘ave been .
veven ted."
Before another word could be uttered
a wild shriek broke from the lips of Jacob
Moon. He caught the dying girl to his
breast, and implored some one to hasten
back acd bring a surgeon.
"And I have killed her!" he raved.—
"She who was to be my wife—my poor,
poor Molly !"
Fast and hot fell his tears, and be
beat his breaSt vehemently, and raved all
the while. The surgeon at length made
his appearance; As soon as he saw the
wound, he shook his bead. Joab went
almost frantic when lit beheld the sur
geon's action.
" Is there na hope, doctor ?" he cried.
None whatever, sir," replied the stir•
Aeon. "Let her rest; you can do nothing
She will not live an hour."
"If she would only look upon me."
cried Jacob. 'Molly, darling!"
As if her dull ears herd his cry, she
opened her eyes and gazed in his Lace,
but, there came no sign of recognition
They clused the next instant, and a mo
ment more a tremor passed over her
frame, and Molly Rogers was dead.
They led Jacob Moon to the rear, and
put him in charge of a gnarl. The poor
fellow was almost a maniac. Sadly they
dug a grave for the devoted girl, and
with army blankets enveloping her form
they laid her to rest among the pines,
where the wind was sighing mournfnl-

And Jacob Moan ?
He escaped from the guard, and was
never again lii-ard of. Poor fellow, he
was crazed, and probably died somewhere
in th. forest.

The Irishman's Treat.
Some years ago, when preapers were
scarce and the Sons of Temperance were
still scarper in the far West, it happened
That Sunday was a day sot apart especial
ly by common consent, not as a "y of
fasting and prayer, but as a day of ; issi
patian and fighting in a certain village
among the diggings of lowa.
To put a stop to this, the city %there
passed an ordinance shutting hp all the
groggeries within the corporation limits.
To enforce this ordinance more efft•ctu
ally, they made it the positive duty of the
city marshal' to go around on Sunday
mornings, and shut up such groggeries as
might not have the fear of the Lord and
the city fathers before them. Among
others who kept one of these proscribed
but popular places was 's very humorous
Irishman, whose name, of course, was
Pat.
One fine, bright Sunday 'limning, the
city marshall, a good, clever fellow,whom
we shall call Phil, armed with a biz stick
as his insignia of office, was-parading by;
as-pompously as ever any Marshall Nif
France flourished his baton of office,
Now it so happened that Pat was out
enjoying the morning as Phil was pass- .

ed that the marshall was of easy virtue
as m this particular duty of his office,und
what added to his suspicion wits:the fact
that he was seldom known to refuse a
glass Of pure "Cincinnati eye'Water.", So
he deterrnirral to pat' him to the test,and,
_see of what kind of stuff he was made.
Stoping him abraptly,twr says :
"Come in, Phil, and,Pll trate yon."
Phil stopped, looked all arourd to see
if anybody was about, and finally popped

the Sabbath in the discharge of his lac-.

IMPERISHABLE
The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth ;
The Impuist to a worldless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth:
The longings after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry ;
The striving after better hopes—
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid,
A brother in his need ;
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves the friend indeed ;
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh ;
The sorrow of a contrite heart—
Those things shall never die.
The memory of a clasping hand,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the trifles, sweet and frail,
That makes up love's first bliss ;
If with a firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust on high,
Those hands have clasped, those lips have
met,
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell,
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel, but never tell ;
The hard repulse, that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unladen record kept— ,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love—
I3e firm and just and true;
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high, •
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.
DE&FNESS
Probably the most frequent way in which
the ears are injured is by the attempt to clean
them. it ought to be understood that the pas
sage of the ear dues not require cleaning , hy ns.
Nature undertakes that task,and in the*lthy
state fulfills it perfectly. Her means for clean

up into thin, fine scales, and these peel off one
by one f om the surface of the passage, and fall
out imperceptibly, leaving behind them a per
fectly clean, smooth surface.
In health the passage of the earls never dirty
but tf 'we attempt to clean It, we infallibly
make it so. Here—by a strange lack of justice
as it would seem, which, however, has a deep
justice at the bottom—the best people,and those
who love cleanliness, suffer the most, and good
and careful nurses do a mischief negligent ones
avoid.
Washing the ears out with soap and water is
bad ; it keeps the wax moist Then it ought to
become dry and scaly, increases its quantity
unduly, dud makes it absorb the dust with
which the air always abounds. But the most
hurtful thing is introditcing the corner of the
towel screwed up, and twisting it mind. This
does more harm to the ears than all the other
mistakes together. It drives down, the wax up
on the membrane much more than it gets out.
Let any one who doubts this make, a tube like
the passage, especially with the curve which it
possesses ; let him put a thin membrane at one
end, smear its inner surface with 'a substance
like the ear wax, and then try and got outso by
a towel ! but this plan does much more mis

irritates the passage, and makes It cast off small
flakes of skin, which dry up and become,ex

but pain and inllamation, and then, matter is

LOCAL REMEDY IN DIPLITIIERIA
Dr. James of Milton, Del.. in.
The Phys kietts Arid Pharmacist, .say, Many
have been the remediels used - in the local treat
ment of diphtheria. Some have vaunted ,iegitt
ti\nitras, in solid form. Others advise the: pre
parations of potassa and its combinations. Car
bolic acid has its votaries, as well us muriate
acid and the muriated tincture of iron ; extern
ally the oakum poultice has sonic reputation,
and no doubt it is of more haportance titan we
are ready to admit. Terebinthine liniment, as
well as kerosene oil, stands prominent in the
list of external remedies. " -
But above and before all is the acid tannate
of iron. This is a remedy not known ,to the
pharmacopeia, yet it stands second to , none
among local remedies, and I believe is: .tbe only
one that bears a shade of semblance to u reme
dy in this fearful disease, and thus exceeds any
that has become knower to the professional
world. It may be prepared by the addition of
one ounce of thoonnriated tincture of iron to
one of zt strong solution of tannin, and applied
by means of a brash to a:0 diseased throat, or
elsewhere, as the case may be; or, what I be
lieve to be a better way, apply the mariated
tincture of iron in full strength to the diseased
part with a brush, wait a few moments', then
apply the solution of tannin in the same' way,
therebrforming a uulotkol the two at the point,

examination-a few hours after, you will see the

baby in the doorway of a small hot;i. ."That
is.the maid for me,"said the lady,. She. stopped
and asked for her mother. "Mother has gone
out to work," answered the girl. , "F'ather* is
dead, and now mother has to do everything." ~ '
