Well, to go back to where I was be fore I digressed to explain to you how that frightful and incurable disease, membranous croup, was ravaging the towo a nil driving all mother mad with terror, I called Mrs. McWillflrms' attention to little Penelope aod said: "Darling, I wouldn't let that child be chewing that pine stick, if I were you." "Precious, where is the barm laitf" said she, but at the same time prepar ing to take ws the stick for wo men cannot receive even the most pal pably judicious suggestion without ar guing it; that is, married women. "Love, it is notorious that pine is tbe least nutritious wood that a child can eak" My wife's hand psusrd, in the act of taking the stick, and returned itself to her lap. She brindled perceptibly, and said : "Hubby, you know better than that. You know you do. Doctors all say that turpentine in pine wood is good for weak back and the kidneys." "Ah I I was under a mis tpprshen sion. I did not know that the child's kidueys and spine were affected, and that the family physician bad recom mended " "Who said that the child's spine and kidneys were affected ?" "My love, you intimated it." "The ideal I never intimated any thing of the kind." "Why, my dear, U hasn't been two minutes since you said " "Bother what I said I I don't care what I did say. There isn't any harm in the child's chewing a bit of pine stick if she want's to, and you know it penectiy well. And tbe shall chew it, too! 80 there, now!" say no more, my dear 1 now see tbe force of your ressonincr. and I will go and order two or three cords of th best pine wood to-day. No child of mine shall want while I " j "Oh, please go along to you office, and let me have some peace. A body can never make the simplest remark but you must take it up and go to ar guing, ana arguing, and arguing till you don t know what you are talking I . I , M aoonv, ana you never 00. "Very well, it shall be as von ssv. But there is a want of logic in your Inst r.m.rlr HrliitK ' However she was cone with a flour ish before I could finish, and had taken the child with her. That nierbtatdin ner she confronted me with a face as white as a sheet. "O Mortimer, there's another! Lit tie Georgia Gordon is taken." "Membranous croup T" - "Membranous croup." "Is there anr hone for him T" "None in the wide world. Oh, what is to become of us T T . i a a Dj ana oy our none brought in our Penelope to say good-night and offer the customary prayer at the mother's knee, in the midst of "Now I lay me down to sleep" she gave a slight cough. My wife fell back like one stricken with rTeath. But the next moment she was up and running away witn me activeness which terror in spires. She commanded that the child's crib be removed from the nursery to our bed-room ; and she went along to see the order executed. She took me with her. of course. We got matters arranged with speed. A cot bed was put up in my wife's dressing-room, for the nurse. But now Mrs. Mc Williams said we were too fkr away from tbe other baby, and what if he were to have the symptoms in the Dlght and she blanched again, poor thing. We then restored the crib and the nurse to the nursery, and put up a bed for ourselvtis in a room adjoining. Presently, however, Mrs. MoWill isms said, suppose the baby should catch it from Penelope T This thought struck a new panic to her heart; and the tribe of us could not get the crib out of the nursery again fast enough to satisfy my wife, though she assisted in her own person and well-nigh poll ed the crib to pieces in her frantic hurry. We moved down-stairs, but there was no place to stow the nurse, and Mrs. MoWilliams said the nurse's ex perience would bean inestimable help. So we returned, bag and baggage, to our own bed-rooms once more, and felt a great gladness, like storm-buffeted birds that have found their neet again. Mrs. McWilliams sped to tho nur sery to see how things were going on there. She wss back in a moment with a new dread. She said : "What can make the baby sleep sof'V I said : "Why, my darling, baby always sleeps like a graven image," "I know, I know; but there's some thing peculiar about his sleep now. He seems to he seems to breathe so regvhrly. Oh, this is dreadful !" "But my dear, he always breathes regularly. "Oh, I know it, but there's some thing dreadful about it now. His nurse is too young and inexperienced. Maria shall stay there with her, and be on hand if anything happens." "That's a good idea ; but who will helpyouf'J "You cab help me all I want. I wouldu't allow anybody to do any thing but myself, anyhow, at such a time as this." ' I said I would feel mean to lis abed and sleep, and leave her to watch and toil over our little patient all the wea ry night. But she reconciled me to it-TSo old Maria depnrted and took up her ancient quarters ia the nur sery. Penlope coughed twice in her sleep. "Oh, why don't the doctor come? Mortimer, this room is too warm. This room is certainly too warm. Turn off the registei quick!" I shut it off, glancing at the ther mometer at the same lime, and won dering to myself if 70 was too warm for a sick child. The coachman arrived from down town now, with the news that our physician was ill and confined to his bed. Mrs. McWilliams turned a dead eye upon me, and said in a dead voice: "There is Providence in it. It is fore ordained. He never was sick before. Never. We have not been living as we ought to live. Mortimer, time and time again I have told you so. Now you see the result. Our child will never get well. B thankful if you can forgive yourself. I never can for give myself. I said, without intent to hurt, but with heedless choice of words, that I could not see that we had bean living such an abandoned life. "Mortimer! Do vou want to bring the judgment upon "baby, to?" Then she began to cry, but stiddeu ly exclaimed: "The doctor must have rent medi cines?" I said: "Certainly; they are here. I was only waiting for you to give me a chance." . - ' "Well, do give them to rue! Don't you know that every moment is pre cions now? But what is the use in sending medicines when be knows that the disease is incurable?" I said that while there was life there was hope. "Hope! Mortimer, you know no more what you are talking about than the child unborn. If. you At I live, tbe directions say give one tea spoonful every hour! Once an hour! as if we bad a whole year before us to save the child in! Mortimer please please hurry. Give the poor perish ing thing a tablespoonful, and try to be quick!" "Why, my dear, a table spoonful might " "Dont drive me frantic! . . . There, there, there, my precious, my own; it's nasty, bitter stuff, but it's good for Nelly-r-good for mother's precious 1 j i. ;n t 1 11 aarung; ana it win miii usr -weu. There, there, there, put tbe little head on mamma's breast and go to sleep, and pretty soon Oh I know -she can't live till morning! Mortimer, a table spoonful every half-hour will Oh, the child needs belladonna, to; I know she does and aconite. Get them, Mortimer. Now do let me have my way. .You know nothing about these things." We now went to bed, placing the crib close to my wife's pillow. All this turmoil had worn upon me, and within two minutes I was something more than half asleep. Mrs. McWil liams roused me: "Darling, is that register turned on? "No." "I thought as much. Please turn it nn at once. This room is cold." I turned it on and presently fell asleep again. I was roused once more. "Dearie, would you mind moving the crib to your side of the bed? It is nearer the register." I moved tt, but had a collision with the rug and woke up the child. I dozed off once more while my wife quieted tbe sufferer. But in a little while these words came murmering remotely through tbe fog of my drow siness: "Mortimer, if we only bad some goose-grease will you ring?" x I climbed drearily out and stepped on a est, which responded wish a pro test, aod would have got a convincing kick for it if a chair had not got it instead. "Now Mortimer, why do you want to turn up the gas and wake up the child agaiu?" "Because I want to see how much I am hurt, Caroline." "Well, look at the chair, too I have no doubt it is ruined. Poor cat! suppose you had" ".Now, I am not go:ng to suppose anything about the rat. It never would have occurud if JVUria had been allowed to stay here and attend to ft o $2 PER ANNUM. these duties, which are ia her line, and not in mine." "Now, Mortimer, I should think you would be ashamed to make a re mark like that It is a pity if you caunot do ' few little things that I ask of vol ich an awful time as this, when child" "Thre, 1 e, I will do anything you want. But I can't raise anybody with this bell. "They're all gone to beJ. Where is the goose-grease?" . "On the mantle-piece in tbe nur sery. If you'll step there and sneak tV Maria " . I fetched tbe goose-grease and went to sleep agaiu. Once, mere I was called. .'" j "Mortimer, I so hate to rlislnrbyou, but the room is still too cold for me to try to apply this stuff. Would you mind lighting the fire? It is all ready to touch a match to." I dragged myself out and lit the fire, and then sst down disconsolate. .. "Mortimer, don't sit there and catch your death of cold. Come to bed." As I was stepping in she said: "But wait a minute. Please give tbe child some more of the medicine." Which I did. It was medicine which made a child more or less live ly; so my wife made use of its wakeing interval to strip it and grease it all over with goose-oil. . I was soon asleep once more, but once more I had to gel up. "Mortimer, I feel a draft, I fel it distinctly. There is nothing so bad for this disease as draft Please move the crib in front of the fire.',' I did it and collided with the rug again, which I threw into the fire. Mrs. McWilliams sprang out of bed and rescued it and we bad some words. I had another short interval of sleep and then got up, by request, aod con structed a flax-seed poultice. This was placed upon tbe child's breast and left there to do its healing work. A wood fire Ms not a permanent thing. I got up evory twenty min utes and renewed ours, r.nd this gave Mrs' McWilliams an opportunity to shorten the times of giving the medi cines by ten minutes, which was a great satisfaction to her. Now and then, between times, I recognized tbe flaxseed poultices, and applied sin apisms and other blisters where un occupieJ places could be found upon the child. Well, toward morning the wood grve out, aud my wife wanted more. I said: "My dear, it is a laborious iob. and the child must be nearly warm enough with her extra clothing. Now, mightn't we put on an other layer of poultices ana I did not finish because I was in tcrupted. I lugged wood up from below for some little time, and then in and fell to snoring as only a man can whose strength is all gone and whose soul is worn out. Last at broad daylight I felt a - erin on my shoulder that brot me to my senses suddenly. My wife was glaring down on me and gasping. As soon as she command ber tongue she said: "Its all over! All over! The child's perspiring! What $haU we "Mercy, how you terrify me! I dont know what we ought to do. Maybe if we scrsped ber and put bcr in the ,i.r ...: - uiau gu ' "Oh, idiot ! There is not a moment to lose. Go for the doctor. Go your self. Tell him he must come, dead or alive." I dragged that poor, sick man from his bed and brought him. He looked at the child aud said she was not dy ing. This was unspeakable to me, but it made my wife as mad as if he had offered a personal affront. Then he said the child's cough wss only caused by some trifling irritaion or other in the throat. At this I thought my wife had a mind to show him the door. Now the doctor said be would make the child cough harder and dis lodge tbe trouble. So he gave ber something that sent her into a spasm of coughing, and presently up oame a little wood splinter or so, "This child has no membranous croup," said he. "She has been chewing a bit of pine shingle or something of the kind, and got so aie little slivers ia ber throat. They won't do her any hurt,' "No," said I. "I can well believe that. Indeed, the turpentine that is in them is very good for certain sorts of diseases that are peculiar to children. My wile will tell you so." But she did not. She turned away iu disdain, aud left the room; and since that time there is one episode in our life which we never refer to. Hence the lido of our days flows by in deep and untroubled serenity.

I have never believed in dos ing a horse with medicine, but some thing is actually necessary in keeping in the right condition.- Many, us powders, but potatoes are better, and safer, and cheaper, if fed judiciously. If those who are not in the habit of feeding potatoes to horses will try them, they will be astonished at the result. I Lave known a horse changed from a lazy, dumpish one, to a quick, active, headstrong animal, in five days, by simply adding two quarts of potatoes to bis feed daily. If very rauoh corn meal is fed, they do not neea so many potatoes, loo many potatoes are. weakening, and so are to many apples. Country Gentleman.' A Lecturer once enumerated the qualifications of a good wife in the following antithesis of "To be and not to be:" bbe should be like three things, and yet aha should not bo like those three things. First, she . should be like a snail, always keep within her own house, but should not be like a scail, and carry all she has upon her back. Secondly, she should be like an echo, to spesk , when she is spoken to) but. she should not be like an echo, always to have the last word. Thirdly, she should be like town clock, always keep time and regularity ; but sbe should not be like a town-clock, to speak so, loud thai all the town may hear her.
