To My TVif e.
Come to me, dearest I'm lonely without
thee
Day time and night time I'm thinking about
thee ;
Night time and day time in dreams I behold
thee
Unwelcome the -waking -which ceases to fold
thee ;
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to lighten,
Come in thy beauty, to bless and to brighten,
Come in thy womanhood, meekly and lowly,
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy 1
Swallows will flit round the desolate ruin,
Telling of Spring, and its joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love, and its manifold
treasure,
Are circling my heart with a promise of pleas
ure. 0 Spring of my spirit ! O May of my bosom !
Shine out on my soul till it bourgeon and
blossom;
The waste of my life has a rose-root within it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunshine can
win it.
Figure that moves like a song thro' the even,
Features lit up by a reflex of heaven
Smiles coming seldom, but childlike and sim
ple, And opening their eye3 from the heart of a
dimple
O, thanks to the Savior, that even by seeming
Is left to the exile to brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad -when you knew I was
gladdened ;
Dear, are you sad now, to hear I am sad
dened ?
Our hearts ever answer in tune and in time,
love,
As octave to octave, and rhyme unto rhyme,
love.
1 cannot but weep but your tears will be flow
ing,
You cannot smile but my cheek will be glow
ing I would not die without you at my side, love,
You will not linger when I will have died,
love.
Come to me, dear, ere I die of my sorrow ;
Rise on my gloom like the sun of to-morrow.
Strong, swift, and fond as the words which I
spek, love,
With a song on your lip, and a smile on your
cheek, love ;
Come, for my heart in your absence i3 weary
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and dreary ;
Come to the arms which alone should caress
thee,
Come to the heart which i3 throbbing to press
thee.

Mrs. Tompkins' parlors Tverc in apple
pie order not a speck of dust on the shi
ning piauo not a stray shred on the vel
vet c:rre, not an atom ol ashes under
thewfli fi'iie-l rat. For .Mrs. Tompkins
was one i' thufi thrifty souls who keep
up ap f h rai; res in spire of everything, and
delight in hciwlsoniely furnished parlors,
while the kitchen is stinted to the very
closot degree of parsimony.
She was flying about, shaking out chair
covers, and arranging the little china or
naments on the mantel, was Mrs. Tomp
kins, in a manner that betokened a con
siderable amount of iuvrard disturbances.
There was a jerk to her elbow and a toss
of her head, which foreboded woe to some
body or other.
"I am clear out of patience !" ejacula
ted Mrs. Tompkins at last. "I don't be
lieve there ever was a, poor mortal half so
badgered as I am, with poor relations !
"Why couldn't Harry have married a rich
wife, while he was about it, instead of
Mary Glenn, who wasn't worth a red cent
ouly a governess at that ? And now
the poor dear boy is dead and gone, and
left his doll-baby of a wife on my hands.
I declare, it's enough to make a woman
crazy. Don't see why I should be obli
ged to support her just because she hap
pened to be my son's wife ! Why can't
she go to work and d-o something '( Too
much of a fine lady, I s'pose, with her
white hands and long curls, and pink and
white cheeks!. Never brought up to do
any chores about the husc can't wash
di.shcs, nor make buscuit, nor do any
thing useful. I'mtircd of this sort of
business." And just as Mrs. Tompkins
made this emphatic assertion, tho door
softly swung open, and a delicate girl of
scarcely more than eighteen summers,
glided in. ITer deep mourning-dress
gave additional fairnesB to a complexion
that was like snowy wax, shadowed with
the softest rose-tint on cheek and lips,
and the timid, lluttering glance of her
dark eyes indicated her position depen
dant. "Can I assist you about arranging the
parlors, Mrs. Tompkins?" she faltered,
as if uncertain how her offer might chance
to be received.
"No, Mrs. Tompkins, Junior, you can't !"
said the old lady, with a toss of her cap
border. "I couldn't think of allowing
such a fine lady to soil her white fingers
about my. work. Then you needn't go
crying I "don't believe in people that
I WOULD RATHER BE RIGIIT THAN PRESIDENT. Hesky Clay
have such very tender feelings
I don't!"
"I did not intend to cry' murmured
poor Mary, "but indeed, I could not help
it !" f
"I tell you what, Mrs. Tompkins, Ju
nior," eaid tho old lady, wrahful!y, "we
may as well come to an understanding at
first as last. Zephaniah and me ain't
rich and we've a big family of our own,
and now that poor, dear Henry, our elder
boy has been dead and gone a year," here
Mrs. Tompkins, mechanically, pulled out
a red pocket-handkerchief, and made a
random dab at her eyes, "I don't see that
you have any very particular claims on
us ! So you'd better look out for a situ
ation as governess, or to do some plain
sewing, or something, as soon as you can,
for to speak my mind, you've been spon
gin' on us about long enough !"
Mrs. Tompkin3 stopped, with her
mouth shut together like a steel trap.
Her daughter-in-law had grown very pale.
"And while I am about it," continued
the old lady, "I may a3 well say that
Hetty don't like it because you insist on
stayin' in the parlor every time Colonel
lledcliffe calls. He's worth a cool half
million, Zephaniah says, and if our Hetty
makes a catch of him, why the family
fortune's as good a3 made. Of course,
when Hetty is Mrs. Col. RedclifTe, you
won't expect her to notice you much
she may give you some sewin' to do once
in a while, but My gracious!
there's his carriage at the door this min
ute ! And he was here only yesterday.
Uiddy ! run up and tell Miss Hetty to
put on her pink dress, and take her curls
out of the papers Col. Redcliffc's at the
door ! You can sit in the kitchen while
he's here, Mary, and peel the potatoes for
dinner, if it isn't too common work for
them lily fingers ! Hetty don't want you
pryin' round when her beau's here ! Hun
quick !"
And as Mrs. Tompkins, Jr., disappear
ed, Mrs. Tompkins, Sr., opened the door
with a simpering smile.
"Hear me, Colonel rtedclifle, who'd
havs thought of seeing yon ? Do walk
in we're highly honored, I'm sure !"
Col. lledcliffe was a tall, elegant look
ing man, whose wealth and station in so
ciety fully warranted tho calm dignity
with which he bowed to Mrs.' Tompkin's
adulation.
"Take a seat on the sofa, Colonel !"
chattered Mrs-. Tompkins. "Won't you
siVa little nearer the lire ? Not cold, eh ?
Well, it ain't so freezing-liko as it was
yesterday, to be sure ! 1 hope you won't
get impatient," she giggled, "Hetty '11
be down in a minute !"
" 117io will be down ?" inquired Colo
nel lledcliffe, looking up from the book
he was carelessly turning over, with some
astonishment expressed in his fine fea
tures. "Hetty my daughter !"
"J, "beg your pardon," said the Colonel,
quietly, "there is some mistake here. I
called to see your daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Tompkins !"
"Harry's wife !" gasped the mama-in-
"And." added Colonel lledclifTe "as
you are the nearest relative and guardian
at present, it may be well for me to men
tion to you that I intend making her an
offer of marriage. Her beauty and grace
render her a fit wife for any man, and I
am proud to think that I have won her
affections. Of courso I may reckon on
your sanction and approval I"
"Yc-yes!" stuttered Mrs. Tompkins,
who was completely taken aback by this
sudden overthrow of all her Aladdin vis
ions concerning her red-haired daughter,
Hetty. However, even if Colonel lled
cliffe's palatial establishment wasn't for
"daughter Hetty," still it was something
to keep so much wealth in the family.
"I'll call her," she said, humidly, slip
ping out of the room, just in time to ar
rest the triumphant entry of Miss Hetty,
with her curls all in a quiver of hair oil
and cologne.
"Go back, netty !" she exclaimed in a
stae whisper, "you're not the one that's
wanted ! It's Harry's wife !"
And she shot down stairs as fast as
possible.
"Mary, dear," she said in the softest
of tones, "you're not peelin' potatoes I
Well, you always were so obliging ! Give
me a kiss, love I always did say Harry's
wife was just like my own daughter!
Now run up stairs into the parlor and see
what Colonel Iiedcliffo has to say to you."
Mrs. Harry Tompkins was uncertain at
first whether her respectable mother-in-law
was not a little demented. Never
before had she listened to such softly af
fectionate syllables from the old lady, and
she went up stairs like one in a dream !
"And when will you be' mine, dearest?"
was the parting question of Colonel Ked
cliffe, as he held that fair young widow
to his heart.
Poor Mary ! it was so long since eIic
had heard the accents of love and kind
ness, and now to be the chosen bride of
one to whom the world looked in admira
tion ah, it seemed too much happiness !
"Eemember, I shall not wait long," he
added, caressingly smoothing down the
jetty tresses. "The sooner I tako you
away from this vulgar and uncongenial
atmosphere, the better !"
"Vulgar and uncongenial !" gasped
Mrs. Tompkins, who was listening at the
keyhole ! "Well, I never !"
"Mary, dear," she said that evening,
'I shall be very sorry to lose you. You
have always been just been like my own
child, haven't you ? Come and kiss me,
there's a love and be sure you don't for
get your poor, dear ma-in-law, when you
are married to Colonel lledcliffe ! Hetty,
come here and congratulate your dear sis
ter ! I wouldn't have given you up to
anybody else, but Colonel lledcliffe is a
man that deserves you !"
Mary smiled quietly she was of too
gentle and forgiving nature to resent even
the hypocracy of her mother-in-law and
in the bright future, opening before her,
she had forgiveness for all.
"Harry's wife is going to be married."
said Mrs. Tompkins to one of her gossips,
soon after.
"What, that lazy, indolent, good-for-nothing
?"
"Hush-sh-sh !" cried the old lady, clap
ping her hand over Mrs. Syke's mouth.
"That was all a mistake. She's a dear,
sweet love !"
"Oh I" said Mrs. Sykes, "then I con
clude she going to marry rich !"
"Yes," said Mrs. Tompkins, compla
cently. "It will be such a trial to part
with her !"
And such is the weakness of poor hu
man nature, that the good old lady had
actually believed what she said !
Diptlieria.
The diptheria has been unusually pre
valent this winter in the various districts
in Pennsylvania, and very many cases have
resulted fatally owing to inattention in
the early stages of the disease. Some
very good advice is given regarding its
early symptoms, and hovv, it should be
treated. The Philadelphia Zc,7jer says :
It generally begins in a family among
the children, one of whom, will be restless
and feverish for a da'. or with symptoms
not very unlike those which precede scar
let fever exhibiting strong constitutional
derangement. Then comes on a complaint
of soreness in the throat, followed by small
patches of white or sometimes yellowish
ccatiug matter on the throat. The mo
ment these appear no time should by lost
in sending for a medical man who has had
experience and success in treating these
diseases, because there are in fact two
diseases to be treated at once. One is in
the throat, whertj there is local danger ;
but there is also another in the fluids of
the whole body, which is, after all, per
haps the chief thing, though most out of
It is well known that the be3t mode of
treating scarlet fever, measles and even
typhoid fever, is to regard them as the
ellcct3 of some poisonous matter inhaled
through the lungs and carried perhaps,
as the oxygon gas is carried, through the
capillaries of that organ into the circula
ting sj-stem. In scarlot fever and measles
the best treatment has therefore been
found not to bleed or reduce the system,
but rather to stimulate it so as to aid it to
throw off to the surface the poison which
in those cases blossoms out on the skin and
dies there. The same sort of general
treatment is found most useful in diptheria.
If a child has an ordinary attack of sick
ness, or sore throat, a little abstinence or
opening medicine will greatly reduce it.
But in a disease of this kind, on the con
trary, a generous diet and a gently stimu
lating treatment seems to strengthen na
ture to throw off the disease. Whether
diptheria is contagious or not has been
doubted. In all probability it is not.
But it may and does become epidemic jn
the atmosphere. Wheuever there is ex
posure to it, fresh, pure air is one of the
best preventives and even medicines both
for the individual patient and for the pre
vention of the spread of the disease. A
f room well aired and lighted and warmed
so freely as to allow of a constant change
without draft, or any cxtieme heat or
cold, will of itself do much in the way of
medicine. But there is no time to be lost
in the commencement of active treatment
the moment the disease shows itself..

Precautions.
1. Never sleep in a room where there
is any green paper on the walls, as this
color is made of arsenic or lead ; the- for
mer is by far the most dangerou?, being
scheeles green,, and i3 known positively
by a drop of muriatic acid on the green,
leaving it white.
2. White glazed visiting cards contain
.sugar of lead, and will poison a child who
is tempted to chew them from the slight
sweetish taste.
3. Green glazed cards used for concert
tickets are still more poisonous ; a single
one of them contains a grain and a half
of arsenic enough to kill a child.
4. Never put a pin. in the mouth or
between the teeth for a single instant,
because a sudden effort to laugh or'speak
may convey it to the throat, or lungs, or
stomach, causing death in a few minutes,
or requiring the windpipe to be cut open
to get it out. If it has passed into the
stomach, it may, as it has done, cause
years of suffering, ceasing only when it
has made its way out of the body through
the walls of the abdomen or other portions
of the system.
5. It is best to have no button or string
about any garment during the night. A
long, loose night gown is the best thing
to sleep in. Many a man has facilitated
an attack of apoplexy by buttoning his
shirt collar.
G. If you wake up of a cold night and
find yourself very restless, get out of bed,
standing ou a piece of carpet or cloth of
any kind, and spend five or ten minutes
in rubbing the whole body vigorously and
rapidly with the hands, having previously
thrown the bed clothing to the foot of the
bed so as to air'both bed and body.
7. If you find that you have inadver
tently eaten too much, instead of taking
something to settle the stomach, thu3 ad
ding to the load under which it already
labors, take a continuous walk, with just
enough of activity to keep up a slight
.moisture or perspiration of the skin, and
do not stop until entirely relieved, but
end your exercise in a warm room, so as
to cool off very slowly.
8. Never put on a pair of new boots or
shoes on a journey, especially on a visit
to the city; rather wear your easiest, old
est pair, otherwise you will soon be pain
fully disabled.
0. A loosely fitting boot or shoe, while
traveling in winter, will keep the feet
warmer without any stocking at all than
a tight pair over the thickest and warmest
hose.
10. Hiding against a cold wind imme
diately after singing cr speaking in public
is suicide.
11. Many public speakers have been
disabled for life by speaking while labor
ing under a hoarseness of voice.
12. If you happen to get wet in cold
weather, keep on foot with a rapidity suf
ficient to ward off a feeling of chilliness
until you get into the house, and not wait
ing to undress, driuk instantTy and plen
tifully of hot tea of some sort; then
undress, wipe dry quickly, and put on
warm, dry clothing.
13. Never go to bed with coll feet if
you want to sleep sound.
14. If a person faints, place him in
stantly flat on a bed cr floor, or on the
earth, on his back, and quietly let him
alone, at least for ten minutes. If it is
simply a fainting fit, the blood flowing on
a level will more speedily equalize itself
through the system. Cold water dashed
in the face, or a sitting position, arc both
unnecessary and pernicious.
Easy on Him. A very learned and
compassionate judge in Texas, on passing
sentence on Johu Jones, who had been
convicted of murder, concluded his re
marks as follows : The fact is, Jones,
that the court did not intend to order you
to be executed before next spring, but the
weather is very cold ; our jail unfortu
nately, is in a very bad condition ; much
of the glass in the windows is broken ;
the chimneys are in such a dilapidated
state that no fire can be made to render
your apartments comfortable ; besides)
owing to a great number of prisoners, not
more than one blanket can be allowed to
each;, to sleep sound and . cointbrably,
therefore, will be out of the question. In
consideration of these circumstances and
wishing to lessen j'our sufferings as much
as po-sible, the court, iu the exercise of
its humanity and companion, hereby or
ders you to be executed to-morrow inoru
inur, as so-n alti-r breakfast as may he
convenient to the fhcrill and agrocubic to
you.

NUMBER 21
Col. S. S. Fry.
The name of Colonel Fry, commander
of the Fourth Kentucky Begiment in the
battle of Logan's Cross Koads, who is
believed to have shot Zollicoffer, has be
come already a "household word" with
loyal Kentuckians.
Colonel Speed Smith Fry is now about
44 years old, having been born in 1818
and a man of amiable disposition. He
is the grandson of old Joshua Fry, of
Dannville, who has been dead about
twenty .six years, and the son of Thomas
Fry, also of Danville. When the pres
ent Colonel was about sixteen years old,
his father moved to Crawfordsville, Indi
ana. After his father's death Speed Smith
Fry returned to his native towu, where he
remained till the beginuingof the Mcxicau
war.
During that war, he was captain in the
regiment commanded by Colonel M'Kce,
and distinguished himself on the battle
field of Buena Vista. It is well known to
many that he killed his man in that mem
orable battle. The circumstances we re
produce here. A Mexican detached from
his comrades, was seen to fire, with great
deliberation, three or four times at Cap
tain Fry's men. The 'captain took a mus
ket from a fallen soldier, and fired and
tho Mexican was never seen again. It is
useless to tell how that regiment came off
the field covered with glory. In that
bloody battle Colonel M'Kce was killed,
and if we mistake not, the lieutenant col
onel also Major Carry Fry, a cousin ot
Speed Smith, taking command of the
regiment. This incident in Mexico, and
the death of Zollicoffer, prove Colonel
Fry to be a man of coolness ; decision and
unflinching bravery.
After hi3 return from Mexico, at the
end of the war, he applied him?elf again
to his profession, the law, in which he was
eminently successful. At the breaking
out of the rebellion, he was judge of tho
county court of Boyle county, and whilo
many others were fearful of opening their
mouths against secession, he boldly at
tacked the rebellion on the stump and
elsewhere. He was the first to move in
raising troops iu Kentucky, and camping
at Dick llobiuson, recruited successfully
two regiments, the third and Fourth
Kentucky. All honor to Kentucky's no
ble sons.
tidin' on a Hailroad Kecr."
A most veracious chronicler relates, in
the following fashion, the experience of a
young lady from the rural districts, whu
lately visited the city, accompanied by
her peculiar swain, and took an appreci
ative view of the elephant.
Getting into one of the city cars for a
ride, the maiden took a seat, while tho
lover planted himself on the platform.
The graceful vehiclo had sped but a few
short blocks, when the benificen:ly young
conductor insinuated himself into the pop
ular chariot for the purpose of collecting
the expenses. Approaching the rustic
maiden, he said affably .
'Your fare, miss."
The rosebud allowed a delicate pink to
manifest itself on her cheeks, and looked,
down in soft confusion. The justly pop
ular conductor wa3 rather astonished at
this, and ventured to the remark onco
more :
"Your fare, miss."
This time the pink deepened to carna
tion, and the maiden fingered her parasol
with pretty coquettishness. The conduc
tor really didn't know what to make of
this sort of thing, and began to look a

"Hem ! miss, your fare."

were looking up into his face through an
aurora of blushes, and tho rosy lips ex

"Well, they do say I'm good looking
at hum ; but I don't see what you want

It was not a peal of thunder that shook
the car just then. Oh, no. It was some
thing that commenced in a general titter,

hull thing" was explained to him, hia
mouth expanded to proportions that might

jealousy on the spot. The pair descended

when last seen were purchasing artificial
sweetmeats at a candy shop.
Married lifo often begins with
