Onee upoa an evening bleary,
WhHe I sat me, dreamy, weary.
In the sunshine, thiuking o'er
Thing that pissed in days of yore ;
While I nodded, nearly sleepingr.
Suddenly there caine a craping
Lp my back like water seeping,
Seepinjr upward from the floor,
" Tis a eoolint; breese," I muttered, .
"From the region 'neath the floor
Only this, and nothing mere."
Ah ! dlsUaetly I remember,
It was in that sweet September
When the earth, and every member
Ot creation that It bore.
Had for weeks aad weeks been soaking
In the moaneit, most provoking
Foggy rains that, without Jok'ng,
We had ever seen before,
So I knew it muift be very
Cold and damp beneath the floor
Vary cold beneath the floor.
So I sat me, nearly napping,
In the sunshine, stretching, gaping,
And a feeling quite delighted
With the brecxe from 'neath the floor ;
Tin I found me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing bolder.
And mvself a feeling older
Older than I'd felt before ;
FeeHng that my joints were stiifer
Than they were in days of yore
Stiller than they'd been before.
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave place to rushing, leaping.
As if countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the cuticle the varmints
Twiat me and ay nether garments.
Up into my hair, and downward
Through my boots into the floor ;
Then I felt myself a shaking.
Gently thsrmg more and more
Every moment more and more.
Twas the Agar, and it shook me
Into heavy clothes, and took me
Shaking to the kitchen every
Place where there was warmth in store:
Shaking till the "china" rattled,
Snaking till my molars rattled,
Shaking, and with all my warming.
Feeling colder than before.
Shaking tin it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more- -
Till it could not shake me more.
Then it rested till the morrow
When it came with afl the horror
That it had the face to barrow.
Shaking, ahaking ss before.
Aad from that day in September
Day which I shall long remember
It has made diurnal visits.
Shaking, ahaking, oh, so sore !
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Me to bed, if nothing more
Fully this, if nothing more.
And to-day the swallows flitting
Round my cottage nee me sitting
Moody, with the sunshine
Jnst inside my cottage door.
Waiting for the Ager, seeming
Like a man forever dreaming,
And the sunlight on me streaming
Sheds no shadow on the floor;
For I am too thin and sallow
To make shadows on the floor
Xary shadow any more !

The boy then is to be cultivated in
a general way. What there Is of
him that is good, is to be brought
out, developed ; wo therefore must
restrain the evil which ia expected to
exist, more or less, in all. After the
boy is developed, the man then is to
do the rest. He is prepared, or
e-hould be to do for himself. If he
has the habit (secured by hi- educa
tion) of self, independent lltinklnfr,
abstract reflection, there will lw
lark to flad nut. He will master tin
subjects that come in his way; ami
bis way will be cleared, and he will

It is difficult srmetimes to excite
interest. It is more difficult to give
direction to the future life in the
path it is to take. As we have said
circumstances control that.

The following cure for drunkenness is
practiced in Holland : The patient
is shut up io a room, and debarred all
communication, except with his phy
sician. As often as he pleases, spirits
brandy, whisky, gin, etc., are
given him, but mixed with two-thirds
water; all other drinks, such as beer,
coffee, wine, etc., are mixed with
one-third brandy. The various
viands, too, that are given him
bread, uaeaU, etc., are all prepared
with brandy ; consequently the pa
tient is in a state of continued intoxi
cation. This lasts abcut five days;
at the end of that time, he asks with
entreaty for some nourishment, with
out his request being complied with,
and not until his organs absolutely
abhor alcohol. The rure U complete,
and fr.m tliHt U.ty forth the very

A Vicksburo wife informed her
husband the other morning that
she was working herself into the
gr.tve for the want of a girl, and as
he went out, she leaned back and fell
to weeping. The children were mak
ing a noise in the hall as he passed
out, and he called out : "You want
to stop this racket! Your mother
won't livo a week, and when you get
a step mother here next spring, she
won't put up with any such fooling !
When be came home to dinner, his
wife met him with a smile, and said :
"Isn't ours' a cosy home, Richard,
with only our little family to look
after ?"
Toadstools It is important to
know the difference betweent toad
stools and mushrooms ; but it is not
worth while trying to learn this dif
ference unless yon belong to a very
long-lived family, and don't object to
being poisoned at tho end. It takes
yean to find out, and authorities dif
fer. The only sure test is to cat one.
If you live it is a mushroom. If you
die, it's a toadstool. -

tVASUIXCTOM LETTER
Some Washington Notorieties who are net
tn CiiiiffxesK-T-lroreMSlonal women, Mrs.
lawyer l.orkvt ocil and r. Mary WuIUrr
A persistent parade el srml-mnle attire
slow Dr. Walker rnts a palrnf pantoloens,
and where Lawyer Lsrkwood sarrnsllcally
wears her gold thluiblc.
Washington, D. C,
Editor Democrat :
Much lias been written about con
gressional stars, as well as about society
queeus, and lobby q"ueens in Washing
ton. Such are tho wonderful fueiiities
for the tinns mission of news ami gos
sip, from the capital to the remotest
town, that, for any one to becoms fa
mous or infamous, in Washington, is to
gain national distinction or notoriety.
Wko lia not hestrj of Boss ShcparJ,
Beloa A. I.oekwood, an.! Dr. Wary
Walker? If any one protests against
the tripling of these name-, I will say
that it ia only for the sake of argunisnt.
Tho patent street givtder, the fantastic
female in pantaloons, and the woman
lawyer, have nothing in common, ex
cept in the fact tlistt they are conspic
uous ch;:r;:ctci-K. Tiio sketching of con
gressional stars, and telling the most
trivial things about them, has been a
little overdone, and I propose to write
about a few famous female personages,
who are as consistent iu their inconsis
tencies as Blaine, Bayard, Cox, ot But
ler. Mrs. Beloa A. Lockwood, by her
persistent knocking at tho doors of
Congress for admission to the Supreme
Court of the United States, has become
somewhat famous throughout the coun
try. There is soma difference of opin
ion as to her ability as a lawyer, but
she is certainly a ready and effective
siieaker, excelling, perhaps like many
lawyers, in what may be called senti
mental law. She ia shrewd and suc
cessful in the mamigament of her cases,
and whatever advantage she may take
of the opposition, she is a little unique
in that she has not been kno-srn to take
advnniage of her clients. The late bi.'l
which passed the House of. Represen
tatives, to permit female practitioners
to appear nt the bar of ilia Supreme
Court, was far her benefit. She has a'i
present two important eases pending
before that Court, which she is debarred
from pleading on axouut cf her sex.
One of the cases is a Cherokee Indian
claim involving 3,000,000. The bill
which passed the House in her favor
has failed to Jts3 the St-nate, but not,
it would seem, fi-om opposition of that
body ; the learned judiciary cjusmittee
of the Senate assumed that aa emibling
act was not necessary, since the Couit
itself had exclusive jurisdiction in the
matter. This view of the Senate would
seem to involve a dead-lock, on a nice
question, between the highest judicial
and brightest legislative body in the
land : for, when Mr?. Lockwood applied
for admission at tho bar of the Supreme
Court, two je:ir3 ago, one of the reasons
for refusal, as given in th opinion of
Chief Justice Waite, was that there
h'vl li-cn no legislation . for the admis
sion of women. Mrs. Lockwood ia now
in Ihe fifth year of her practice and has
all the business she can attend to. She
is distinguished for great iierseveranee,
practice, and tact. Her speciality is
government claims. When she began
practice, her property consisted -,of a
few feet of real estate in a cemetery,
now she is werth $20,000, and her
practice brings hr a yearly income of
about five times as large as the salary
of a clerk ia the treasury department.
Mrs. L. is a widow, nearly fifty years
of agej she is quite able to support a
husband, but evinces no inclination to
marry again. She has dark eyes', white
hair, kindly intelligent features; her
dre3 is quiet, elegant, and black; her
jewelry a gold thimble, which she sar
castically wears as a breast pin.
Dr. Mary Walker, distinguished for
her persistent parade of semi-male at
tire, is a native of Oswego, New York ;
and her family is one of standing and
respectability. Long years ago s.he va
mairied to a Mr. Miller, but whatever
distinction he may have gained from
that union, ho has now no right to
claim for ha was divorced about twenty
years ago, and Dr. Mary has resumed
her maiden name. Congress voted her
a gold medal for, services during tho
war, and the Secretary of the Treasury
had her ejected from his department,
not long since, because sho was annoy
ing! Dr. Walker has a big boot, but
wears a little foot. Sho lias suffered
years chronic martyrdom of ridicule,
in the cause of comfort, health and
principle; at least that is her view of it;
and the air of mingled resignation and
resistance which forty-nine vears of
perverse heroism have stamped upon
the face, form and gait, of the grotesque
little woman is pathetic rather than
funny. It is impossible for me to de
scribe her clothes, even superficially.
Sho wears a kind of dress, with a demi
skirt, in faet, the demiest skirt you ever
saw, a cane and a pair of pantaloons.
It was the intention of your corres
pondent to interview her tailor, but ho
learned on inquiry, from one of her
friends, that she cuts her own trowsers,
and cries like a woman when she can
not make them fit. C. A. S.

8me of the great Generals w!:om
names are familiar to u hitve in id.j
n wonderful power f sleeping, fur
lew moment?, even oi the builp

before the attack on St. 8ebjstiin, In
Spain, found that the breaching lot
teries wt.uld not be ready to open th
attack for two hour.
"The best thing that we ctn do,"
he said, ."is to sleep," and slipping
off his horse into a treuch, he was
asleep in an instant.
Napoleon, at the very crisis of the
important battle of Wagraaa, order
ed up hU reserve, which he never
did except in great emergencies. Con
fident that the movement would be
carried out, and would insure the
victory, ho ordered his bear-skin to
be spread on the ground, and in a
moment he was in a deep sleep. He
slept lor twenty minute?, and hi
staiT began to be alarmed; but, wak
ing, ho issued further orders, with
out risking any question?, as if he
had not slept. Conde, the great
French General, bad a similar power
of sleeping for a few moments before
and during great battles.
A Soctheiin paper says that some
months since a young lady, twenty
five years of age, went into Botetourt
county, Ya., from nn adjoining county,
and took charge of a school. 1 he
lady with whom she boarded soon
thought she could see an attachment
spring up between the school-marm
and her son of eighteen ; but when
she approached the lady on the sub
ject, she was told that her son was'!
iiltogeflier too young to be attractive
in her eye. So sho dismissed all
suspicions at once. Friday evening
the school close-, and on Saturday
tho teacher left for home. Sunday
morning, after tho rest of the family
had left for church, this young man
followed on, and now they aro one
flesh. It seems that when packing
her trunk to leave, she took care to
put in nearly all of his clothes, and
had also made arrangements to have
some one meet hiru with conveyance

SlCla OF THE WATEE-t: 3C
The water-cure, or hydropathy,
owes Its origin to the fertility of in
vention of a Sileslan peasant, Vincenz
Prlessnitx. Having at tho aee of
thirteen sprained i.i.i wrist, young
Prlessnitz intuitively applied it to a
pump; and afterward, to continue
the relief thus obtained, he bound
upon It a wet bandage. Ite-wetting
this as it became dry, he reduced the
inflammation, but excited a rash o:i th
surface of the part. Soon after, hav
ing crushed hU thumb,. he again ap
plied the bandage and tho p ii;i once
more subsided, but the rash reap
peared. He Inferred that the rash
indicated an impure blood ; and this
conclusion was strengthened by the
result of experiments which he was
induced to try upoa injuries and ul
cerj in the case of aome of hi neigh
bors, since the rash in souib instances
appeared after the treatment, and in
others did not Thus he w:n 1 d to

effected by fivoring tho activity ef

ISSASTTY AAB MA1EBSAL LOVE.
It has often been said, "The heart's
memory outlasts the mind's." There
is fine medical judgment in taking
advantage of this general fact, and
silently wooing back the reason of an
insane mother, by tempting her nat
ural affection. The following touch
ing case is reported in the Staunton
(Va.) Vindicator:
Some months ago a tidy was com
mitted to the Western Lunatic Asy
lum as a patient, one phase of her in
sanity being almost compete silence.
She appeared to know er notice no
unp. A few days ago her daughter,
a little prattler not yet two yeart old,
which she had uot seen since she was
bereft of her reason, was brought to
s-e her. The mother had greatly
alttrctlin appearance, her hairJ
being cut off. and the change in her
mental health bad been reflected in
l r f.-atute-1, but the child sprang to
lo r at once, and clasping her around
tiie knee, buried her face in her
dress, crying s
"It's my mamma my own, own
mamma 1"
The mother hardly noticed the
child, but the little one climbed into
her lap, and commenced stroking her
hair with its little hands, all the time
crooning, "my own mamma !"
Ia a little while the mother began
to notice it, and shortly the maternal
feeling fully re-asserted itself in close
clasps of recognition and affection.
Since the visit the patient has under
gone marked improvement.
A HAWK .4MOX6 BESS.
Gilbert White tells a mo-t dramatic
story of a neighbor who hid lost
most of his chickens by a sparrow
hawk that came down between a
faggot pilo and the end of his house,
to the place where his coo stood.
The owner, vexed to see his flock
diminishing, hung a net between the
pile and the house, into which the
bird dashed and was entangled. The
gentleman's resentment suggested a
fit retaliation ; he therefore clipped
the hawk's wings, cut off his talons,
and, fixing a cork on his bill, threw
him down among the brood-hens.
Imagination," says Mr. White,
'cannot paint the scene that ensued ;
the expressions that fear, rago and
revenge Inspired were new, or at
least such as bad been unnoticed be
fore; tho exasperated matrous" up
braided, they execrated, they insult
od, they triumphed. In a word,
they never desisted from buffeting
their adversary till they had torn
him in a hundred pieces. Scribner

HOW TO LOSE THE APPETITE FOB DBIMi.
At a festival at a reformatory in
stitution recently, a gentleman said
of the cure of the use of intoxicating
drinks: "I overcame the appetite
by a recipe given me by old Dr. Hat
field, ono of thope good old physicians
who do not have n percentage with a
neighboring druggist. When I called
on him, he said : 'Now that you
have the moral courage I'll tell you
tho tonic which I have used with
effect among my friends for twenty
years.' I expected of course some
nasty medicine stuff ; but no ; he
prescribed an orange every morning
a half hour before breakfast. 'Take
that, and you will neither want liquor
nor medicine.' I have done so reg
ularly and find that liquor has become
repulsive. The taste of the orange
is in the saliva of my tongue, and it
would De as well to mix water ana
oil as rum with my taste."
"Miss, will you take my arm? ' "Yes,
sir; and you, too. "Can t spare but
the arm, miss, replied the bachelor.
Then she said : "I can't take it, as my
motto is, go whole hog or nothing.

When Thomas drover tip to a hsn.se
on Elizabeth street to delive the usual
quart of mixture, the gentleman of the
house kindly inquired:
'Ihomas, how many quarts of milk

"Ninety-one, sir."
"And how many eows have yon?"
"Xine, sir."
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early spring, close of the east

then asked:
"Say, Thomas, hovf mnch milk per

"Seven quarts, sir."
"Ah, nm." said tha genlleaian, as he
moved off.
Thomas looked after him, scratched
his head, and all at once grew pale as
he pulled out a short pencil and began
to hsruro on th3 wazon cover.
'"Nine cows is nine, and I set seven
quarts down under the caws and multi

A Suggestion Worth Foli.ow
ing. Said a reformed ineberlate :
"Behind a simple glass of ale that
sparkles and fo.ims with such a delici
ous look, I see innumerable other
glasses, not so delicious, but still in
viting, containing rum, gia, whisky,
benzine and all the innumerable
devilUh concoctions that lead to pov
erty and hopeless misery. Often
have I stumbled over the first glass
with temperate desire, and thereby
kindled a fire that refused to be
quenched until all behind it had
been consumed, and utter exhaustion
compelled cessation. Bitter experi
ence has given me wisdom, and I
now can see the old serpent coiled
beneath the foaming ate, and have
sense enough to avoid Its stings by
turning my back upon the tempter."
