HAVE PATIENCE.
BT ISE?..
A yontli anil maid one winter's uig'it
Wert? sitting in a corner ;
His name we're lold wasSamuirl Wbite,
And hers was raticm-e Warner.
Nut mucli the pretty maiden snitl,
Beide the young uiun sitting ;
Her cheeks were iliuriicd rucy red.
Her eyes lint on her knitting.
Nor ctiuld lie guess what thoughts t him
Were to her biom fl ickin.
As her f:iir fingers, swift and slim, .
Flow round and round the storking.
Wiiile as fur Samuel, bashful youth.
His words grew fow and fewer ;
Though ail the time, to tell the truth.
His ehuir edged nearer to her.
Meautime her hall of yarn gave out,
r?he kuit so f.st and steady ;
And he must give his aid, no doubt.
To get another ready.
He held the kkeiii ; of course the thread
Got tangled, snarled, and twisted ;
'lljve Pui'tieo?'' cried the artless mill,
To him who her assisted.
Good chance was this for tongue-tied churl,
To si: trton all jialaver;
Have lv.ience?" cried he, "dearest girl!
And may T really huve berT
The thing was tlone; no more that ii'.gut
Clicked iii-etlles in the comer;
And she is Mrs. gamucl W hit,
That once was Patience WariK-r.
THE CHILD SPV.
His name was Stenne. little
Stenne. He was a "child of Pans."
thin and pale, and was ten, perhaps
fifteen years old, lor one can never
say exactly how old these children
are. His mother was dead, and his
father, an ex-marine, was the gar-
dian of a square in the centre ot the
Temple. The nurses and babies,
the old ladies who always carry their
own folding chairs, and the poor
mothers all that small world ol
Paris which seek shelter from ve
hicles in those gardens that are sur
rounded by pavements knew r ath
er Stenne and loved him. They
knew that under his rough mus
tache which was the terror of doss
and disturbers of benches was hid
den a kind, tender, and almost
motherly smile, and that in order to
bring it forth they had only to say
to the good man :
"How is your little son ?
For Father Stenne loved his little
son so much! He was so happy in
the afternoon when, aiterhis school,
the little boy would call for him,
and together they would make the
rounds of the paths, stopping at each
hench to sneak to the habitues of
the square and to answer their good
wishes.
But when the siege began every
thing was sadly changed, rather
Stenne's square was closed and till
ed with petroleum, and the poor
man, condemned to an incessant
surveillance, passed his life in the
deserted, unturned paths, quite
alone, not permitted to smoke, and
only seeing his little son late in he
evening at his home. You should
have seen his mustache wnen tie
spoke of the Prussians.
Little Stenne, however, iki not com
plain of this new life.
Siege ! Nothing is more amusing
to such urchins ! No more school,
no more studies ! Holiday all the
while, and the streets areas exciting
as a fair.
The child ran about all day till
nightfall. He followed the batallions
fro mthe quarters to the ramparts,
choosing those that had a good
band. Little Stenne was well post
ed on that subject He would tell
you very glibly that the Ninety
sixth's band was not worth much,
but that the Fifty-fifth had an ex
cellent one. Sometimes he would
watch the mobiles training, and
then there were the processions.
With his basket under his
arm he would join in the long files
that were formed in the dark, cold,
winter mornings, when theiewas no
gas before the butchers' and bakers'
shops. There, with their feet in the
wet, the people would make ac
quaintances and talk politics, and,
as he was Mr. Stenne's son, every
body would ask him his opinion.
But" the most amusing of all were
the afternoon games, especially the
famous game of galeche, which the
Breton mobiles made the fashion
during the siege. When little Stenne
wis not at the ramparts or bakers'
shops you would surely find him at
the square of the Chateau d'Eau.
He did not play. However ; n neeu
ed too much money ; he was satisfi
ed in watching the players with all
his eyes.
One especially, a great fellow in a
1.1 up workman's gown, who only
plaved with franc pieces, excited his
-id mi ration. hen he ran one
could hear the coins jingling under
his blouse.
iW tlnv. as he was picking up
piece that had rolled under little
Stenne's feet, the great fellow said to
him in a low tone. "That makes you
wink- hpv ? W'ell.if vou like, I'll
take you where hey are to be
found." .
Th frame over, he took him to a
enmpr of the souare and proposed
ii.ot hp should loin him in selling
nawenn tiers to the Prussians ; that
he would make thirty francs lor
every trip. At first Stenne was
very indignant and refused, and,
what was more, he remained away
from the game for three days. Three
terrible days. He neither ate nor
slept any more. At nights he would
see great heaps of galechea piled on
the foot of his bed, and five franc
pieces moving over it, bright and
shining. The temptation was too
strong for him. The next day he
returned to the Chateau d'Eau, saw
the large fellow, and was overcome.

He cried, and Stcnne, who was
ashamed, liunp; his head. The ten

then giving a glance over the white,
deserted road
! "Go quickly !" said he to them,
moving aside, and then they were
on the road to Auberviilers. How
the lar;e fellow laughed.
! Confusedly, as though in a dream,
little Stenne saw the nianufacturiea
; transformed into barracks, their
j courUi deserted and hung with wet
rags, their tall chimneys, which
j pierced the fog and seemed to reach
j the ky, fin-less and battered. Now
! and then they would see a sentinel
'and officers, who were looking far

stn:til tents wet with snow which
I was nx-lting before dying fires. The
i large fellow knew the way, and
! would take short cuts over the fields
j in order to escape the outposts. Hut
; suddenly they dime upon a txnly of
' sharp rl it niters, too late to escape

! cabins, hidden in a ditch half full of
water, ana encampeu uiongme ouw
sons railway. This time, though
the large feilow recommenced his
tearful story, they would not let
them pass." Ashe was lamenting,
an old Sergeant, white and wrink
led, and who looked like old Father
Stenne, came out of the post-guard's
cabin.
"Well, little ones ! don't cry any
more," 6aid he to the children ; "we
will let you go after your potatoes,
but before yo' leave come in and i
warm yourselves a little. He Jooks
frozen, that email boy there !"
Alas ! it was not with cold that
little .Stenne trembled it was from
fear from shame.
In the post-house they found some
soldiers gathered around a small
fire, a real widow's fire, by the blaze
of which they were thawing their
biscuits on the ends ol tneir uayon
ets. They crowded close together
so as to make room for the children.
Thev gave them a drop of wine and
a little coffee. While they were
drinking an officer came tothedoor,
called the Sergeant, spoke to him in
a low voice, and then went quickly
awav.
"liova !" said the Sergeant, as he
came back radieut, "there will be to
bacco to-night. W e have found out
the Prussian pass-word. I think
this time we will take back from
them that d d Uourget 1"
Then there followed an explosion
of bravos and laughter. They danc
ed and sung and swung their sabres
in the air. Profiting by the tumult,
the children disappeared. Having
passed the breastwork, nothing re
mained to be crossed but the plain,
at the end of which was a long
white wall tilled with loop-holes.
They directed their steps toward
this stopping every now and then
and making believe they were look
ing for potatoes
lA-t us return ; don t go any
farther," little Stenne naitl all the
while, but the lanre one only shrug
ged his shoulders and went on. Sud-
denly they heard tlie ciick 01 a gun

said the large boy, throwing himself
on the ground. "When he was down
he wnistled. and another wiiistie an

went on. crawling on hands and
knees In front ot the wall and
even with the ground two yellow
mustaches under greasy caps ap
peared, and the large boy leaped in
to the ditch beside the Prussians
"That is my brother," said he point
ing to his companion. He was so
small, little Stenne, that the Prus
sians on seeing him began to laugh,
and one of them was obliged to take
him in hia arms in order to lift him
over the breach.
On the other side of the wall were
large breastworks, fallen trees and
black holes in the snow, and in
each of these was the same yellow
mustache and greasy cap, and there
was irreat launhinir as the soldiers
saw the children passing by.
In a corner was a gardner's house
casementcd with the trunks of trees,
tlip lowt-r part of winch was full ot
soldiers who were playing cards and
making soup over n clear, wigm

the bacon smelled, and what a dif-
lerence to the sharp-shooters biv-
utiac ! Upstairs were the olhcers.
and they heard thtm playing on the

something to drink and made them

At Coumeuve they entered an
abandoned house to divide their
money. Truth compels me to say
that the division was honestly made;
and when he heard the fine crowns
sounding under his blouse and
thought of his future games of gale
che little Stenne felt that his crime
was not so dreadful after all.
But when he was alone, the un
happy child ! when at the gates of
the city the large boy lelt him
then his pockets grew heavy and
the hand that had been grasping his
heart held it tighter still. Pans
seemed no longer the samo to him ;
the passers-by regarded him severe-
y, as it they knew trom whence ne
lad come, and he heard the word
'spv" in all tlie sounds of the street
and in the beating of the drums
along the canal where the troops
were exercising. At last he readied
lis home, anil, glad to find that his
father had not vet come in, he hur
ried to his room and hid the crowns,
that were -eihing so heavily, un
der his pillow. Never had Father
Stenne been so good humored and
joyous as thai nigiiv on coming

country's affairs were growing bet

soldier looked st his gun hanging
on tlie wall, and he said to hi3 boy
with a hearty : :
"Hey I my son, how you would
go alter me i russians u you nc

About eight o'clock they heard
the sound of cannon. "It is at Au-
berviliiers; they are fighting at
Bourget!" said the old man, who
knew where all the forts were situa
ted. Little Stenne grew pale, and
feigning great f;ttigue, went to Wd,
but not to sleep. The cannon were
thundering continuously. He pic
tured to himself the sharp-shooters
going at night to surprise the Prus
sians and falling into an ambuscade
themselves. He recalled the Ser
geant who had smiled at him, and
saw him stretched out there in the
snow, and so many with him ! The
price of that blood was hidden there
under his pillow, and it was he, the
son of Mr. Stenne of a soldier. His
tears choked him. In the adjoining
room he heard his father walking to
and fro and then open a window.
Down in the street the rappel was
sounded. A battalhon of mobiles
were getting ready to start. Then
there was no doubt about there be

THE Itt'XAWAY.
The Doane household was in a
most delightful ferment. It was at
last decided that Thanksgiving
should be spent at grandpa's. luclv
ard Doane, a lad of fourteen, and
Putty, his sister, & sweet little girl
! of five, could talk of nothing else,
what fun they would have?
Sleigh rides and coasting for of
course they would have snow.
Thanksgiving without snow on the
'around wouldn't be half so nice;
and as they were g'ing to have the
very jolliest time that anybody ew-r
did have, it wasn't at all probable
that the snow would be mean euough
to disapjKiint them. Dick was
a manly fellow.fint-l ooking.and gen
erally kind and good-natured, but
possessed of a quick and fiery tem
per, which occasioned his parents
great anxietv. Mrs. Doane had
just begun to congratulate herself
that the worst was over when some
thing dreadful happened. Dick
was expelled from school, and this,
though bad enough, was not all.
Dick ran away. All this happened
the
morning alter the expulsion:
Dear Father and Mother: You
know by thw time that I have been
driven out of schooL It was right
I should be, for I was very imperti
nent and very wicked 1 tried to
come home, but shame wouldn't let

to trust me alter all that has hap
pened. I have taken out the twen
ty dollars 1 had in the bank, and
am going to try and get some work
to do. Kiss Patty for me, and try
to in:-.ke her forget her bad brother.
Dick.
In vain did Mr. Doane declare
that he was sure it would all come
out right, and this experience would
be the" best thing for Dick that ever
happened. His mother refused to
be comtorted, and little ratty was
inconsolable; but just because Mr.
Doane was lirm and wise, the visit
to grandpa's was not postponed.
Grandpa tried to appear as if noth
ing had happened, and, in the effort,
rather oveidid the matter. Dick
was a great pet of the old gentleman s
and it was very difficult to be cheery
under such distressingcircumstinces.
Grandma said "there was altogether
too much stuff in the boy to be
spoiled eo easily," and went on with
icr work lust as it Dick had come,
too," Patty said, who couldn't quite
understand anybody's being happy
with Dick away. But grandma was
.. , 4 - It I L.l.
sure the lad was in uou s nanus,
and this thought gave her strength
and coinage to bear whatever might
bo sent.
Patty sat by the kitchen table and
tratcrxxl th old lady adit tho pump
kin, and then she helped stone the
raisins for the la.t loaves ot" cake.
Grandma said she was perfectly as
tonished to see how smart her Iitile
girl had grown ; and then the little
darlings lingers .Hew luster man
ever, for. like o;her children, Patty
iked to be praised. W hen grandma
at last brought out the tins in which
she always baked the plum-cakes
for Patty and Dick, Patty put her
iead down on the table ami began
to cry.
What is the matter? inquired
grandma.
Uh.grandina: said i any, jieae
lon't bake a cake in Dick's tin.
Oh, my poor brother Dick ! I don't
want any cake neither, grandma."
"Nonsense, child, said tue oiu
lady. "Why, you and your mother
act" as if Dick had gone forever!
Now look here. 1 shall bake the
boy's cake, and if he isn't here to
eat it, i shall be very mucn sur
prised. We will ice the cake, Patty,
and then vou shall put his name on
the top in caraway sceus ; a-mca.
uncommon fond of caraway seeds,
you know."
- . . , , 4 1 - ?1 .1
Patty looKed up anu smueu
through her tears.. It was impossi
ble to be sad verv long with sucn a
grandmothcr as that. By and by
the cakes were done and cooled, and
then the dear old lady spread a
thir-L- ?rin.r nvpr them, and before it
was ouite stiffened she whittled a
. j . ....,
stick and with it traced in the cen
tre of the largest cake the word
Dick." Then Patty sprinkled the
caraway seed carefully into all the
places, and just as everything was
finished, mamma came into the
kitchen to see what had become of
Patty.
"Why, child ! what are you mak
ing !" she said.
'Can't you read ?" inquired grand
ma. "It seems to me that's as plain
as pike-staff."
"Oh, mother ! do you really think
he'll be here ?" inquired Mrs. Doane
doing her best to keep from crying.
"1 shall expect him," replied the
old lady, decidedly ; "and it he don't
come I shall believe God knows bet
ter what is good for all of us than
we know ourselves ; and now, my
child, if there is a pleasant thing in
the world. I advise vou to think
about it. for it's worse than useless
to fret about Dick."
Tho next day was Thanksgiving.
The weather was clear, but bluster
ins and verv cold. The ground was
well covered with enow, and there
seemed nothing left to wish for in
the wav of comfort and happiness
but the presence of the truant Tho
familv drove to church in the morn-
incr. and returned iust in time for
dinner. Pattv burst into tears as
grandpa passed her plate, and sho
sobbed so that grandma told her sho
liad better take some sugar and , go
ont and feed the pony. Once out
of sound of tho house. Patty gavo
full vent to her grief, and cried as if
her heart would break, l here sue
sat on the cold floor, a poor, little,
wilted bundle of merino and misery,
the sauce plate of sugar by her side,
with no thought in her curly head
for anvthing in tho world but her
brother Dick.
W - l T
"Oh. Dick I how could you be
such a bad boy?" shecried. "Grand
ma said you would come, and you
hnvent, no sucn thing, and now you
can-, have- Jroar cake, nor turkey,
nor nofuo." . AH of a sudden Patty
heard a quctr noise. She stopped
crvine- and Lii her breath. It was
like a sob from the corn-cnb.
"Horses dont crv. nor cows, nor
eraM
pigs, as I ever beard of," said Tatty
to herself, as the strango noiso wa3
repeated. A ladder stood against
! ihe corn crib, and in a twinkling
I Patty had climbed to tlie top anil
j looked in. There stood Dick up to
i his waist in yellow corn, both hands
to his face, crying as he had proba
bly never cried since he w.i3 a baby.
"Oh, brother Dick !" said Patty,
jumping in beside him, at the immi
nent risk of being buried alive. "My
gracious ! there ain't any bottom to
this stuff, is there?" Then Dick
took his little sister on his arm, and
tucked her head in his neck, and
pressed his cheek to hers, and Patty
laughed and cried, and Dick cried
and laughed, and all this in thecorn
orib. Then Dick lifted her out, and
without a word, but keeping tight
hold of the little hand, walked with
her to the house. "Here's Dick,
mamma." 6i'id Patty, leading the
boy to his mother. "He's all over
meal, but you musn't mind that, I
found him in the corn-crib."
"What on earth were vou
doing
in the corn-cnb said urandma,
who wanted to appear as if nothing
had happened.
:'I didn't mean to come in, grand
ma, replied jjk-k, but 1 wanted lo
se
c you all so much, and I hid in
the barn. Patty almost caught me,
and I ran for the corn-crib."
And then he sniffed so that I did
caught him."
And then Dick sat down to the
table, and they all waited upon him
and grandma brought the cake with
"Dick" on top, and Mr. Doane went
to the window and looked out but
this was only a blind to hide his
tears ; and grandma Cut another
mince pie, saying as she did so:
"Where in the world can that boy
have been? I shouldn't think he
had anything to eat since the crea
tio.i of the world."
The next day everything was ex
plained and forgiven, and when
Dick went back to the city, he beg
ged tho professor's pardon, and was
reinstated in school. Has he been
a good boy ever since? We are
pleased to say he has, his last expe
rience having been a good lesson to
him. Eleanor Kir;. "
Youthful Aspirations.
How few arc they who really at
tain to haf the honor ot which they
are desirous, and the glory of which
they are ambitious. How few are
capable of selecting the path which
leads most directly to the summit
of their aspirations. Many go astray
and faiter, and disappear by the
way, until, in the eyes of the vast
crowd surging in the rear, only the
"princely few'" stand on the heights
and gaze down with contempt and
pity at those who clamor for their
places. Surely the world is a queer
place arid w"c are "fearfully and
wonderfully made." " Fame," ia

"is like a greased pig, slipping by
many until at last some fortunate
individual seizes him by chance

A Pathr-Uc Storjr.
In our party was an American
gen'Jeman, who was blessed with an
abundance of boys, but no girl, and
he and his wife had been con
templating the adoption of a girl.
Here was an opportunity to secure I
not only a girl, but just tho kind oi j
a girl that he would have given halt
his estate to be the father of. And
so he opened negotiations.
An Irishman who knew him ex
plained to the father and mother
that the gentleman was a man of
means, that his wife was an excel
lent, good woman, and that the child
would be adopted regularly under
the laws of the State in which he
lived and would be educated, and
would rank equally with his own
children in themattcrof inheritance,
and all that. In short, she was to
understand that Norah would be
reared a lad v.
Then the American struck in.
She. the mother, might select a girl
to accompany her child across the
Atlantic, and the g.rl selected should
go into the family as the child's
nurse, and that the child should be
reared in the religion of its parents.
The father and mother consulted
long and anxiously. It w.os a terri
ble struggle. On the one hand was
the child's advantage, on the other
parental and maternal love.
Finally a conclusion was arrived
at.
"God help me," said the mother
You shall have her. I know you
will be good to her."
Then the arrangements were push
ed very briskly, and with regular
American business-like vehemence.
The girl selected to act as nurse was
the mothers sister, a comely girl of
20. The Americans took the child
and rushed out to the haberdasher's
and purchased an outfit for her! He
nut shoes and stockings on her, which
was a novel experience, and a pretty
little dress, and a little hat with a
feather in it, and a little sash and all
that sort of thing, and he procured
shoes and stockings for the elder
girl, and a tidy dress, and a hat and
shawl, and so' forth. And then he
brought them back, instructing the
mother that he should leave with
them for Cork the next morning at
11, and that the girl and child
should be dressed and reedy to de
part.
The next morning cam, and the
American went for his child. She
was dressed though ve- awkward
ly. The mother had never h.-.d any
experience in dressing chiidre -, and
it was a wonder that she did l t get
the dres3 on wrong sid up But
there she was. The mot: r m died
a3 one who was parting with every
thing that was dear to her ; the fath
er lay and moaned, looking from
Norah to the American, lime was
up. The mother took the baby in
her arms and gare it the final - m
brace. and the long loving kiss ; thi
father took her in his arms and kiss
ed her, and the other children look
ed on astounded, while thcgirl ?tol
weeping.
"Good by," said the American.
"I will take good care of the baby,"
and taking her from the mother's
amis started for the door.
There was a shriek, the woman
darted to him just as he was clos
ing the door, and snatched the baby
from his arms.
"Drop the child !" said the father.
"You can't have her for all the mon
ey in Araeriky !''
"No, for," ejaculated me momer,

And she comenced undressing the

"Take back your beautiful clothes,
give me back the rags that wa? on
her, but ye can't have the child."
And the girl commenced undress
ing too, for she did not want to ob
tain clothes under false pretenses,
but the American stopped the dis
robing. "It's bad for the child," he said,
but somehow I can't blame you.
You are welcome to the clothes,
though."
And he leftas fast as he could, and
I noticed he was busy with his hand

Dead Stars.
Like the sand of the sea, the stars
of heaven, says Sir John Lubbock
in his opening address at the meet
ing of the British Association for the
Advancement of Sciences, have ever
been used as effective symbols of
numbers, and the improvements
in, our methods of observation have
added fresh force to our original im
pressions. We now know that our
earth is but a fraction of one out of
at least 75,0,000 worlds. But this
is not all. In addition to the lumi
nous heavenly bodies, we cannot I
doubt that there are countless oth-1
ers.invisible to us from their greater j
distance, smaller size, or teenier
light; indeed, we know that there
are many dark bodies which now
emit no light or comparatively little.
Thus in the case of Procyon, the
existence of an invisible body is prov
ed by the. movement of the visible
star. Aeain I may refer to the cu
rious phenomena presented by Al- j
gol, a bright star in the head of Med
uss. This star shines without
change for two days and thirteen
hours ; then, in three hours and a
half, dwindles from a star of the
second to one of the fourth magni
tude ; and then in another three and
a half hours, re-assumes its original
brilliancy. These changes seem
certainly to indicate the presence of
an opaque body which intercepts ui
regular intervals a part of the. light
emitted by Algol. Thus the floor
of hcaven'is not only "thick inlaid
with patines of bright gold," but
studded also with extinct stars
once probably as brilliant as our
sun, but now dead and cold. as Helm
bolt tells us that our sun itself will
be, some seventeen millions ot years :
hence.

Catching Colilav-ltro4le-.
! While it is easy to catch a cold in
I mid-summer, colds are usually more
(prevalent when low temperature
prevals, though less in ciear, oieauy
winter than during tlie variable
spring and autumn. u Catching
cold," is usually the result of ine
quality of temperature ia two parts
of the body, especially adjacent
parts, which disturb the uniform cir-
; dilation of the blood. At the plac
whero this disturbance ocburs, "con
' gestion" arises, that is, a rush of
blood to a part from one direction
faster than it Is carried off by the
chilled blood vessels in the other di
rection, and this produces serious
results if not tpecdily remedied.
This diseased condition may extend
over the v. nolo body, affecting most
severely any organ already weak.
Thus a cold may come lrom damp
or chilled feet; from even a slight
draft of air blowing through a crack,
upon one side or portion of the body
and cooling it; from standing near a
fire or stove, and heating one side
wm-je
the other remains compara
tively cold; from warmer clothing
on one part of the body than on an
other; from lightly dressing the arms
and lower limbs, or leaving them
naked; from standing ore- a hot
register; from the i ...ii;:ig evapora
tion of water or moisture, from a
portion only of one's clothing; in
general, from any cause producing
inequality of temperature.
The causes of a cold named indi
cate how to avoid one. Maintaining
general vigor by nourishment, well
diSested food, gives one power to
resist an attack. When to be espe
cially exposed, a little tonic, as a
i,!,, or tvvo Gf auinine. taken in ad-
i c? 4 .... . ,
vance, may be useiiu. pumuianis,
like alcoholic liquors, are but a tem
porary aid; the reaction after the
first stimulating effects, leaves one
more subject to take cold than if the
stimnlant had been omitted.
Simple remedies will usually re
move a cold, if taken promptly, be
fore the congestion ha3 produced se
rious disorganization. When struck
with a sense of dullness, 1-3 to 30
drops of aromatic spirits of ammo
nia, in half a tumbler of water, will
often start a uniform circulation all
through the body, as this quickly
enters the wholo blood and is stim
ulating. Soaking tlie feet in warm
water, gradually adding warmer
water as long as it can be borne,
draws off the blood from all the rest
of the body, and often relieves con
gestion in any local part. Smart
friction upon any part or the whole
of the skin surface, or a uniform
sweating, produces like results. But
in these cases special care must be
taken to prevent after-chilling of the
feet, or any other part. After the
feet heating, wipe drp quickly and
cover them warmly.
The best remedy we have found
for a recent cold is a moderate move
ment of the bowels with castor oil,
or caustic or other mild cathartic
magnesia. This produces a flow of
fluid, drawn from the blood to the
alimentary canal, and thus reduce
the pressure upon any one congested
point, just 33 drawing off part of
the water from a flooded pond re
lieves pressure upon a weakened
dam or embankment. This is to be
followed by keeping the body warm
and comfortable, and toning it up
with good food, or a simple tonic
like quinine. "Feeding a cold,"
prior to taking a cathartic, is the
worst possible treatment It is only
adding material to increase the con
gestion. America Ayriadt'triil fur

Condition of Farmers in England.
Foreign competition has affected
English farmers, during the bail sea
sons, chielly in this way it has
kept down the price of bread. Oar
crop have been small in volume
and low in quality during the live
years, and these matters, along with
low prices, have done all or nearly
all the miachicf. It is not foreign
competition which the British farm
er has to fear, but rather bad sea
sons and an ill-conditioned climate.
The Earl of Leicester declared to
me. during a visit paid to his estate
in Norfolk a month or two ago, that
neither he nor his tenantry would
fear American competition if only
we had good seasons in this country.
This opinion is shared by many
fanners, though probably not bv
many land-owners, in other parts of
the country. On the other hand, it
must be said that great numbers of
English farmers, probably the ma
jority of them, are now in favor of
protection. They consider that free
trade has been tried and found want
ing in thi3 country. They point to
America, for whose fiscal regulation
they are beginning to have a feeling
of envy and admiration, and, say :
"Here is a great country which
does not believe in free trade ; for
thirty years we have been piping to
! her, and she does not dance ; is it
! reasonable to suppose that we Eng
ilish have a monopoly of the common
sense of the world, and tnat our sys
tem of international commerce is
the best that is possible ? No : w e
will go back to the traditions of our
fathers, and the people shall pay
more for their loaf. We will put a
tax on American corn, in the way
that America puts a duty on our
manufactured good?, and so shall
reciprocal relations be maintained."
And so on ; under which it i3 clear
that America is educating England.
Curious Kemarka on Ihe Bible.
The above is the heading of a
very old niece of manuscript recent
ly found in an old book in the pos
session of Mr. Isaac Hubley, No.
510 Middle street, Iincaster. Mr.
Hubley has had the book for a num
ber of yeara, but he has no idea by
whom the document was written.
It is as follows :
"The Bible contains 3,56G,4S7 let
ters ; S10.G97 words ; 31,173 verses :
1.18!) chapters; W books. The
word 'and' occurs 46T7 times ;
Lord," 1..S54 ; 'reverend' only once,
and that in the 111th Psalm. The
27th verse of the 7th chapter of Ezra
contains the alphabet The liHh
chapter of the 2nd ook of Kings
and the 37th chapter of Isaiah are
alike. Tlie first roan recorded as
buried in a coffin was Joseph, 5Hh
chapter of Genesis and 2Cth verse.
Nowhere but in the 1st chapter of
Timothy is the word grandmother
mentioned. Two particularly fine
chapters to read, you will find are
the 2d of Joel and the 2Cth of Acts.
