He lived but a short time after and was unconscious from the time of receiving the blow. It is deemed singular that the pole should have had force enough to kill him, and only from the fact that it was struck about the centre of it, and the rebound supposed to have been great, can the fatal accident be accounted for.

The Old Rtorj . The morning sunlight looked in through the silken curtains, lighting the room as with an angel's smile, suddently enveloping the face of its oc cupant with a strange brightness and transforming her pale brown hair into waves of glistening gold. Said the sun light: "Maiden, I missed you from the garden where I used to find you every morning, and I came here to seek you. Summer will soon be here with "her roses, almost as bright as your cheeks. Are you ill ?" "O, no!" responded the maiden, warming her thin, bloodless hands in the sunbeam, "only a little weak ; I shall soon be out in the garden to greet you—to morrow perhaps ! I was just planning how I should arrange my flowers this year, when you peeped in. Are my lil lies up yet?" "Yes your lillies are up; I have just been warming them. I have tired you" said the sunlight, as he noticed the wearily drooping eye lids; "I will come again to-morrow if you are not in the garden"—and silently withdrew, leaving the fair slumberer alone in the g'oom. A few hours later the moonlight stole softly through the silken curtains, which were gently rustling in the night breeze. "How cold!" said the moon light, as she touched the pallid brow, and then gently laid her band on the pulseless heart. "Dead !" she shudder ingly whispered, as she withdrew through the softly rustling curtains. It is the old, old story of consumption. How she flatters her victims at morn ing with hope's honied words, and at evening makes her the prey of the spoiler! Statistics show that one-third of mankind die of this disease, and of these, far the greater part are young persons between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, iu the dawn of manhood and womanhood. For many years, consumption was generally believed to be incurable. But medicine in her triumphant march against disease has already added consumption to her list of conquered. Dr. Pic. J'S Golden Medical Discovery cures this dread disease if resorted to in time.

The first step in the driving of a shoe, is to remove the old one, if there be any on, and too often there is not; as people generally leave them on till they come off before they think of hav ing their horse shod. I have taken off shoes that had been on seven months. Leaving shoes on too long is produc tive of bruised sole. To take off a shoe properly, the clinches should be all cut and if the nail heads are to deep to be caught by the nippers, the nail should be driven back with a small punch no larger than the nail ; then draw each nail with the nippers* not as is generally done, one side of the shoe torn off at a time with a large pair of pincers, bruising the sole and causing the horse to jerk loose from the smith; great injuries have been done in this way, besides learning the horse a bad habit, for I have seen horses so afraid from being hurt in this way that you dare not put the pincers under the shoe at all. Next comes the pareing of the foot. This requires good judgment on the part of the shoer, as there is hardly two feet that requires the same treat ment. There is a given line in which the feet should come to the ground The foot should be pared with an eye to this. Never cut away the sole, most especially on flat feet. I don't like the hoof knife on that account; it is so well adapted to pareing out the sole and bars and so little use to take down the wall. The frog should not be cut away as a rule. Next in order is the fitting of the shoe. As there are not many hand made shoes used now we will begin with the dressing of the shoe, which in my opinion begins with welding on the toe calk, the length of which should be in proportion to the size of the shoe and never more than live eighths of an inch high, set on the shoe and not beside it. The toe calk should stand up square with the shoe. It is an advantage to traveling horses to set the toe calk back from tho edge of the shoe as it relieves the strain on the tendons of raising over the extreme point of the foot. Toe clips are an ad vantage to any shoe and not injurious to the hoof as is sometimes thought. Shoes should be swedged so that the nail holes on the foot surface would be from one-fourth to three-eights of an inch in from the edge of the shoe, ac cording to the heft of the hoof, as their swedging splits off the hoof. Nail holes should be punched with a small tapered punch which packs the iron around the hole and gives the nail a better bearing, not with a large blunt ended punch which tears a large hole through and leaves the nails no bear ing except the under edtresof the head. The nail should drive tight in the hole, as loose nails weur out the holes. Nail holes should be punched with a slope equal to that of the foot, the front ones most and each nail back with less. Next, the fitting, which, like the pareing, depends on the foot as to how it should be done. The shoe should rest on the wall of the foot, but there are cases of deformed feet in which this will not apply; in these cases good judgment is the all important point. Next the shoe should be as long as the foot and no longer. The heal calks should be as high as the toe or higher, never lower; in fact I think the foot should be as close to the ground as possible, little or no calks at all. The shoe should be level on the foot surfrce, not as many fit them with a couvex bearing so that 1 the shoe rests on the toe and heel and then draw it down with the nails. A horse will not travel easy shod in this | way. Raising the shoe off the heels ' is good in some cases, but I prefer a i bare shoe in such cases. The shoe should not be burned into the foot as it injures it very much, although with the shoe a little warm the feet can be better leveled. Next comes the driving. This I commence by driving the second nail from the toe on the right hand side, the nail opposite next; then nail to best advantage, as a shoe can be shifted by driving a nail. The nails should be dressed so as to drive straight from the bottom of the nail hole in the shoe to the surface of tl e wall, one inch above the shoe, or bet ter less than more. Nails should not be drove in a curve, as the nails act as a lever when the clinch is drawn to prize off pieces of the hoof. Nails should be driven slowly, not as if the smiths whole aim in life was to send it home at two or three strikes. As a nail may be set wrong by the best of shoers, it would not so much harm under a light stroke, where it might ruin a horse under a heavy blow. It is seldom that too light a nail is used ; a nails width at the clinch should be three times its thickness and thicker, but not wider at the neck. As to the head of a nail it is owing to the swedging and the holes in the shoe as to its size and shape. The rasp should be run lightly under the clinch before drawing the nails. There is about as much in settling the nails light in the shoe as in drawing the clinch tight. Now comes the finishing touch. The rasp should not be used too much under the clinch, and the missing of the nail and cutting the hoof with the hammer is equally bad. Of course if the shoe is properly set on the wall of the foot, there will not be much hoof to file away, and the less the better. The clinches should be rasped off level with the hoof, never rasp the foot above the clinches, then if there was some castile soap rubbed over the foot to keep out the wet and air the job might be called finished.

Itstrikes lE.V 1 V/Krilj. at the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, the youngest children take it readily. In ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca tarrh, the effects of AYER'S CHERRY PEC TORAL are magical, and multitudes are an nually preserved from serious illness by its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every household for the pro tection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping-cough and Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures, or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief, and are sure to deceive and disappoint the patient. Diseases of the throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment; and it is dan gerous ex)>eriii>enting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may, while so trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use AYER'S CHERRY PF.CTORAL, and yon may confidently exjx'ct the best results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known and acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians, knowing its composition, present*) it in tbeir practice. The test of half a century has proven its absolute certainty to cure all pul monary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
