MOTHER-LOVE IN HEAVEN.

Once I met a Utile child astray
In the wet and windy inter street.
He'd been wandering the long, cold day;
Oh, eo weary were nla little feet I
Bat a baby of four innmen old, .
1 n a small straw bat and cotton dress.
"Wnafs the matter, little ontr "I'soold."
"Where's mamma?" She's gone away, I
' guess. . i j ,. .
"I's been looking for her all the day;
Oh, I'm 'fraid kiie'll never come again!"
Then the pent-up anguish had its way.
And the baby's tears fell down like rain.
Once be bad been shielded safe and warm,
A pet nurseling in a happy new.
Dreaming not oi cold or pain or narm.
In the shelter of a mother's breast.
Now he had bat cold and hireling care;
No one missed him from his little place;
Nu one.taught him childhood's holy prayer;
No oue kissed his patient, pleading face,
Ob, clasp tenderly the Utile hands -That
no mother's hand again shall hold.
Do not doubt bis Angel pieading stands.
Moiber-love In heaven will not grow cold.
Be afraid to wrong the motherless,
They have guards invisible but strong!
They have pleaders in their sore distress.
That will right, with u.ightj hand, their
wrong.
. . HEARTFELT THANKSGIVING.
It was the 26 ch of November, the day
before Thanksgiving, and - of all our
pleasant old "Thanksgiving Days" at
the farm at home, I remember this one

. Not that we had a merrier time, or a bet
ter dinner; bat that day wo had special
cause to be thankful, we were thankful
that we were alive to eat any sort of din
tier, so narrow had been our escape bat
a few hours before from a sudden and
terrible death.
Up to the 2Cth the weather had been

Maine. Novembor, it was said, had been
all "Indian summer.
But that day the 26th there came a
change The Iadian summer softness
and brightness had disappeared. The
air was very still, but a cold, dull-gray
naze mounted into the sky and deepened
and darkened. All warmth went out
from beneath it. There was a kind of
stone-cold chill in the air which made us
shiver as we got out of bed that morn
ing.
"There's snow coming, boys," father
said to us at breakfast. VI can feel it.
Bank up the house this afternoon, warm
and snug, so that the cellar won't freeze.
And this afternoon yoa must go up to
tne tmcK pasture and drive down the
sheep."
The back pasture was on the northern
side of a mountain, nearly a mile and a
half from the farm. It contained two
or three hundred acres, including sev
eral straggling clearings which extended
over the adjoining hilis and ridges.
So, after dinner, we muffled ourselves
in thick jackets and "comforters," and
taking the salt-dish, set off across the
now bare fields for the back pasture.
Alvin Green, 'a boy of about our own
age, the son of a neighbor.went with us.
It had grown colder than it was in the
forenoon, and the sky was completely
overcast. It seemed as if night was
coming on, the air and the landscape
looked so dim and drear.
We went round the mountain to the
pasture and called the sheep; but they
were not there, and were not in sight on
the hills. It was then about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, and we spent at least
an hour more going round the pasture
juuMUfj iu iue nine openings along tne
jEifcea oT- the woods and call in?? the
sueep.
"They're not in the parster," said Al.
"They've gone over into Dunham's
open.' Had we better go after 'em?"
Dunham's open was a clearing about
two and a half or three miles to the east
wartTof the back of the pasture, where a

times to go through the woods to this
open when the "feed" was not good in

was easy to trace ft the summer. But
now all these paths were covered with
dry leaves.
We stood for some minutes on one of
the hills in the pasture and looked down
easj.
"What say? Shall we go? Al asked.
Ben thought we might as well. "It is
going to storm," said he. "It storms
now way over on the mountains. We
shan't want to soarch for them to-morrow.
The sheep ought to be got home.
Let's go." And we set off at a run down
through the pasture, and entered the
woods for the shortest cut across the
valley.'
We had not gone more than a mile be
fore Bnow began to fall, not in large
flakes, but thick and fine as meal. It
came with a sudden gust, which seemed,
ia a moment, to darken all the woods,
and a strange sound accompanied it not
like the roar of a shower, but as of a
vast, dreary sigh of all the mountains.
The wind stirred the great bare tops of
the trees overhead; and the snow," like
powdered ice, sifted down through them
and rattled inclemently on the beds of
leaves.
It's going to be a tough one!" said Al,
"a real no'theaster.
'Seems -to me we ought to be near
Dunham's brook," Al. exclaimed at
length.
Ben stopped. "I'm afraid we've got
too far down south," said he.
At this we took a tack, more to north,
as we thought, and then ran on again.
It was snowing so thickly and every
thing looked so odd, that we had to
guess as to the course. On we run for
ten minutes at least, and ruuet have gone
a mile, but we did not come to the
brook. Then we stopped again; and by
this time all three of us were a little
frightened.
"We've run off below the bend," Ben
exclaimed; and then we tacked farther
to the north.
I should think we hurried on for ten
minutes again, as fast as we could run,
when we came suddenly on the brink of
a deep gorge, which opened up to the
left on a brood, frozen pond.
For a minute or two we stood com
pletely at a loss. "That can't be Stoss
pond, can it?" Ben exclaimed.
"Well, it is!" said Al. "For there's
the log dam; and look, rilit down here
in the hollow's the camp where Adger
lumbered winter before last. I know it
by three big pines on the bank above it."
"Then we're seven miles from homo!"
said I.
"Yes; and four or five miles north of
Dunham's open instead of sooth of it!"
exclaimed Al. "And here Ben thought
we were south of itl"
"How could I tell?" muttered Ben.
' Well. ; we cannot get the sheep and
get home to night," I said.
We can't even get home," Ben said.
"It'll be pitch dark in half an lioor."
Al was already running and sliding
I down thesteen side of the corere. "Come
on!" said he; "let's get into the old
camp."
This camp stood on the bank of the
brook, a little below the dam, and was
built of fir logs, with a ro f of split shin
gles. It was fourteen or fifteen feet
square ..and had sufficed to lodge ten men
two winters before. Since tnen it had
been deserted. .
There was no doubt that this was Ad
ger camp; for I remember the three big
pines which stood on the bank, up fifteen
or twenty feet above the camp. The rea
son the lumbermen had not them was
because of the great "scalds" on the
trunks, caused by forest- fires years be
fore. Either of the three trees was from
four to five feet in diameter; and they
were of great height. Besides these
trees, there Btood with them the great
bare stub, forty or fifty feet tall, of an
other large pine. -
Inside, the old shanty looked dark and
cheerless; and it had an unsavory odor.
It did not have windows; a strong cleated
door, on wooden hinges, shut closely
enough to keep out the storm.
' A rusty stove stood in one corner, with
a still rustier funnel running up through
the low roof. There was a greasy table,
made of rough boards; and along the
back side extended a bunk of old yel
lowed fir boughs, on which the men had
slept. '
But any sort of shelter looked inviting
to us that night, with the storm increas
ing and the wind rising. We entered,
and then began searching to see what
tne former occupants had left behind
them in the way of "supplies," eatable
or otherwise.
There were a number of old axes; and
in a salt box there was a nearly entire
quarter-gross of matohes. - In another
salt box there was a little salt; and in an
old nail cask there were two or three
quarts of "yeliow-cyed" beans. That
was all ; no flour, no pork.
"Well, then, we'll have boiled beans
and salt!" Al exclaimed.
Ben split up three old benches, got
some branches outside, and built a fire;
and Al ran out to the brook and dipped
up water in the stove kettle. We soon
had beans cooking, but it took nearly
two nours to Don them sole.
It was a plain supper, beans and salt;
yet 1 have eaten far less savory dishes.
By eight o'clock in the evening our appe
tites had grown sharp enough not to be
squeamish.
It was rather cosy, too, round our hot
stove. We were a little anxious because
our folks at home would be alarmed at
our not coming back; otherwise, we
should have felt rather jolly; ior in the
morning we had only to follow the brook
down to Dunham's clearing and could be
at home by noon. We little knew of the
peril we were in.
As there were no coverlets or blankets
in the bunk, we decided that it would be
more comfortable to keep a fire. So we
gathered branches outside. Al agreed
to Keep awake and tend the fire for three
hours, as nearly as he could guess, then
he was to call me. After taking my turu,
x was to call JieD.
It was growing cold fast, and the snow
beat into the camp, under the door, and
through chinks betwixt the logs where
the moss "stumng had fallen out.
When Al waked me to take my turn at
tending the stove, I was shivering in
spite of the fire, and the first thing I no
ticed, on waking, was the fearful rate at
which the wind was blowing. The woods
roared, and now and then came a gust
which made even that little low csqid
shake and crack, and which sent the line
snow sifting in all over us.
"It's an awful night," said Al. "I've
heard ever so many trees fall, off in the
woods." ;
Suddenly, in the midst of a tremen-
jdous gust, there came with great dis
tinctness a Joud, startling crack. J t was
followed by a creaking, rushing - sound.
Involuntarily I jumped to my feet.and
Ben and Al both sprang up. " "What's
that?" they cried out together.
It had flashed to my mind in an in
stant that it was one of thosa great pinee;
and thongh the tree could have been but
a second or two falling, I had yet had
time to realize and feel that it was com
ing down oq us.
The next moment it struck seemingly
on both sides of us with a tremendous
crash and a shock, which made the
ground jar beneath us.
The stove-funnel came rattling down
and the fire and smoke gushing out into
the camp. We had lively work for the
next ten minutes in putting it back into
its place. It was not until daybreak that
we saw and realized how near we had
come to death.
One of these great pines had broken
off at aj"scald," close down to the
ground, and had fallen. In falling it
had swept down with it the great drv
stub.
Both bad fallen on the camp from the
high bank above. The huge pine trunk
with its great branches had broken off
and driven deep down into the frozen
earth, and lay within a foot ot that side
of the shanty in which the door was;
while on the other side.lay the great.dry
stub,splintered and split by its fall.
There was just the width of the little
camp between them! If either had fallen
on it, the camp would have been crushed
like nn egg-shell ! It was an escape the
very sight of which made our hearts
jump.
It blew furiously all the rest of the
night, or rather morning, but slackened
somewhat as the forenoon advanced. By
ten o clock we climbed out of our camp
and set off down the brook. But it was
slow walking. Fully two feet of snow
had fallen since five o'clock the previous
afternoon.
We were fully two hours getting down
to Dunham's open. There we found the
flock of eighty odd sheep in the shelter
of a fir add hemlock thicket, on the east
side of the clearing, and with the sheep
were two deer a doe and a half -grown
fawn. They were not caribou, but com
mon red deer, which had joined the
sheep either during the storm or previ
ously.
We attempted to start the sheep home
ward; but the snow was so deep that we
were obliged to leave them there for that
day. j
Thedeer did not run away, but kept
huddled in with the sheep, moving as
they moved, and we left them' in the
flock.
It was about two in the afternoon
when we reached home. So furious had
been the storm, out in the cleared land,
that though a good dial concerned at our
not returning, our folks had not deemed
it prudent to start out in search of us till
afternoon. Mr. Greene had come in, and
he and father were about setting off to
look for us.
The Thanksgiving dinner,"pare-rib,"
turkey and plum-puddiog, was cooked,
and we three boys, at least, were readv
to eat our share. But all that day I
recollect haviDg a peculiar sense of re
lease from danger, as when one draws a
long breath of relief; and even now I
never think of that night without a throb
of thankfulness for the kind Providence
that seems then to have watched over us.
Youth's Companion.
Something about Colds.
What is the most common of all dis
eases in our climate? A cold.
Are colds curable? Strictly speaking,
no. After it is fully developed, I have
never known a cold to be cared by med
ical treatment. The disease runs
through a certain course, and in the pop
ular phrase, "cures itself" after a greater
or less degree of suffering on the part of
the patient. It ia, in the scientific
phrase, one of the; "self -limited" dis
eases. But sometimes, when a damaged
organ is attacked, a cold- may terminate
less favorably sometimes in pneumonia
or pleurisy, or even in consumption.
More frequently a succession of neg
lected colds brings pn chronic catarrh, a
complaint that is particularly frequent in
our trying climate. -1
Bat if we cannot actually cure a cold
after it is fully developed, it is all the
more important that we should be able
to do one or two things with it first, to
cut it short at the outset, before the dis
ease has time to develop itself; or sec
ond, to prevent its running on into any
of the bad consequences that I have
named.
We will look at these cases separately.
And first, what is the nature of this dis
ease which I have called incurable, but
which can still be checked in many cases
at the outset, or even, if it should run
its usual course, may be controlled as to
its consequences?
A cold is an inflammation, attended by
more or less fever; its usual cause is ex
posure to a draught, and especially ex
posure of the feet or of the throat. It
attacks the lining membrane of the nos
trils, the fauces and pharynx, or the
trachea and bronchi, or more than one of
these regions; and we ordinarily speak of
these three forms as cold in the head,
sore throat and cold in the chest. A cold
in the head begins with sneezing and
"defluxion," or a discharge from the
nostrils; a cold in the throat, with
hoarseness and sore glands; a cold in the
chest, with a cough. Either form often
runs into one or both of the other forms,
but it is important to distinguish them
at the outset, as I shall point out in
speaking of the treatment.
1. To cut short a cold at the outset :
When the cold begins "in the head,"
with sneezing, watery eyes and deduc
tion, the following treatment will cut it
short four times out of five; but it must
be taken at once, or at the latest within
six hours after the first symptoms occur.
I don't say it is a pleasant treatment,
but it is an effective one : Fill a tumbler
half full of tepid water (four ounces),
add to it twenty drops of laudanum,
close the left nostril with the forefinger
of the left hand, incline the head to the
right, and holding the glass in the right
hand, press the edge of it against the
right nostril, inclining the glass, then
sniff up very slowly a quantity of the so
lution, until you feel it beginning to run
down at the back part of the throat.
Reverse the operation for the other
nostril. Do not blow out the lauda
num and water at once, but let it
remaia a minute, or until the stinging
that it causes grows less. Immediate re
lief is generally given by this simple
treatment. It must be done deliberately
and thoroughly; if the symptoms are not
checked by the first trial, repeat it a few
times at intervals of half an hour, and
keep within doors, if possible, for a day.
I have often practiced this operation on
myself and on patients; if carefully done
and promptly, it will break up a cold in
the head before it has a chance to get a
fair start. A sniff in time saves nine.
But if this treatment is put off later it is
of no use, for the inflammation of the
nasal passages soon takes hold, and the
cold passes on into what I have called
the incurable stage, in which there is
little to be done except to palliate the
sufferer's discomforts.
When the cold commences in the
throat, what shall we do? Tie up the
throat in a piece of flannel (red or any
other color the color makes not the
least difference) and by all means stay
at home, if possible. If you know by
experience that the cold promises to be a
severe one, take ten grains of Dover's
powders, and some warm drink (the bet
ter if gently stimulating, though I do
not urge this upon total abstainers) and
go to bed as early as may be. You have
an even chance of being well or much
better at least in the morning. A good
perspiration always helps the care.
If the cold begins in the bronchial
tubes, the above measures should be
taken without delay, and, in addition, a
mustard poultice should be applied to
the upper part of the chest and kept on
until the skin is red, but not long enough
to blister. A towel or a linen bandage
around the throat, wet with tepid water,
often does much good; it should be kept
on through the night, and covered with
a piece of flannel to prevent the escape
of moisture. In winter keep the room
at an even temperature of about 70 deg.
not higher.
So much for treatment at the outset.
Now a word upon the other point men
tioned. 2. How to prevent a cold from run
ning on indefinitely, or turning into
something worse: Many persons find re
lief by a tonic treatment from the start,
as by quinine or iron. But a physician's
advice should always be had by those
who find that' their colds are likely to
to hang on. No hard-and-fast rules
can be laid down. The main points are,
first to avoid unnecessary exposure to
cold; second, to get competent treatment
adapted to the individual case; and third,
as a means of prevention, to give special
care to the question of how to clothe
one s self winter and summer, in this
most trying climate. I will only say, on
this point, that there is no greater super
stition among intelligent people than that
of going with the neck unprotected in
cold weather. This exposure will do for
the very robust, but for nobody else.
But the question how to dress in our
variable climate is one that requires a
paper to itself.
Coarse Bread, or line.
Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert communi
cated a paper to the Journal of the
Chemical Society, several years ago, on
the use of coarse and fine flour in bread
making, from which we extract the fol
lowing, as giving a summary of the re
sults of their investigations:
"The higher percentage of nitrogen in
bran than in fine flour has frequently led
to the recommendation of the coarser
breads as more nutritious than the finer.
We have already seen that the more
branny portions of the grain also contain
a much larger percentage of mineral
matter. It is, however, we
think, very questionable, whether, upon
such data alone, s valid opinion can be
formed of the comparative values, as
food, of bread made from the finer or
coarser flour a from one and the same
grain. Again: it is an indis
putable fact that branny particles, when
admitted into the flour in the degree of
imperfect division in which our ordinary
milliDg processes leave them, very con
siderably increase the peristaltic action,
and hence the alimentary canal is cleared
much more rapidly of ita contents. It is
also well known that the poorer classes
almost invariably prefer the whiter
bread; and among some of them who
work the hardest, and who consequently
would soonest appreciate a difference in
nutritive quality (navvies, for example) ,
it is distinctly stated that their prefer
ence for the whiter tread is founded on
the fact 1 the brown passes through
them too rapidly, consequently before
their systems have extracted from it as
much nutritious matter as it ought to
yield them. It is freely granted that
much useful nutritious matter is, in the
first instance, lost as human food, in the
abandonment of fifteen or twenty per
cent, of our wheat grain to the lower ani
mals. It should be remembered, how
ever, that the amount of food eo applied
is by no means entirely wasted. And,
further, we think it more than doubtful,
even admitting that an increased propor
tion of mineral and nitrogenous constitu
ents would be an advantage, whether,
unless the branny particles could be
either excluded, or so reduced as to pro
vent the clearing action above alluded to,
more nutriment would not be lost to the
system of this action that would be
gained by the introduction into the body,
coincidental!? with it, of a larger and ac
tual amount of supposed nutritious mat
ters. In fact, all experience tends to
show that the state, as well as the chem
ical composition of our food, must be
considered; in other words, that its di
gestibility, and aptitude for assimilation,
are not less important qualities than its
ultimate composition.
" 'Of course,' says the Boston Journal
of Chemistry, 'the aterient action of the
branny portions of the wheat has a value
of its own in the case of persons of con
stipated tendencies; but this is a medi
cinal rather than a dietetic use of the
coarse bread.'
"The discussion of the subject has
been of great service to the community
in leading to improved methods of mak
ing flour, by which the fineness is se
cured, without the excessive weight of
nutriment that the old process involved.
It would be interesting to enlarge on
these improvements in the manufacture;
but they are probably more or less famil
iar to the majority of our readers, and to
describe them in detail would make the
present article too long."
The Bereaved Grandpapa.
"Isn't it pretty?" said a little old man
as he wheeled a baby carriage to the
place where a reporter of the World was
silting in , the park recently.
"It must be pretty," said the reporter,
looking into the carriage and seeing a
creature, snugly nestling in a downy nest
with its face covered by a delicate laco
veil.
The little old man was delighted, his
little old chin went twit a-twit-a-twee,
and he chirped like a bird.
"They keep its face covered," he said,
with a sigh, "since the little white
hearse drove away from the house the
other day. liut I
The' little old man stopped and looked
all around with his twinkling little
eyes.
"I will show its face to you, sir, it's so
very, very pretty.
Ana the little old man s chin again
went twit-a-twee.
"They will be angry." he continued.
"bat I'm so proud of its pretty face that
l must show it.
Suddenly the little old man took the
lace that covered the baby's face in his
trembling lingers and the reporter pre
pared to burst into exclamations of de
light even if the face should prove to be
the homeliest face in the world.
"Musn't," a little child said, coming
from behind the bushes and seizing the
coat-tails of the little man. "Danpa
musn't."
"The flies will annoy Rose," a gentle
girl of twelve said, joining the little
group and carefully replacing the lace.
Close observation showed u tear trem
bling in the girl's eye as the little old
man wheeled away the carriage, with the
little child dancing by his side.
"Oh, it's such a deception," she ex
claimed, burying her face in her hands.
"Baby Rose died last week," she con
tinued, "and we are afraid to tell grand
pa, as his mind is weak and she was his
idol, so we put a doll in the carriage,
closely veiled, so he ca mot see its face,
and let him wheel it around. But it is so
deceptive."
Just then the little old man paused,
left the little child with the carriage, and
came back to where the girl was seated.
He put his face close to hers and whis
pered: "What was it," he asked, "that they
carried away in the little white hearse?"
The poor girl turned away her face.
"Flowers," she said, "only flowers,
grandpa."
"I wonder," the little old man mnsetr
"Why they all turn their faces away
when they tell me what they carried
away in the little white hearse."
Then he went to the carriage again and
chirped like the merry little old man that
he vffis.
"Flowers, only flowers," the reporter
heard him murmur, as lie wheeled the
doll away. N. Y. World.

' Billy M'tJlerv's Friend.
Billy McGlory of Armory Hall, Hes
ter street, after putting his horses
through an afternoon on the road last
week, says the New York Times, walked
pensively down Broadway about 5
o'clock in the evening. He was attired
in a sober frock suit and wore a silk hat,
and his overcoat concealed his diamord
brooch, aa his gloves did the gems on
his fingers. His appearance was that of
a well-to-do gentleman from out of town,
and such was he taken to be by a well
dressed young man with a dark mus
tache, whose profession is to lead coun
trymen against the pleasant and seduc
tive game of bunko. The young man
rushed up to McGlory, his face express
ing the utmost gratification and delight,
and seizing hi3 hand shook it warmly.
"Why, Mr. Harris," he shouted, with
unaffected pleasure in his tones', "when
did you get in from Cleveland?"
For a moment Mr.McGlory was speech
less with surprise and mortification that
he of all men should be picked out for a
"sucker," and the black mustached
young man proceeded:
"I saw your brother last week, and he
told me I must expect you. any day, but
I hardly thought I should see you so
soon."
Mr. McGlory recovered 1 i t powers c f
speech and replied:
"Yes, 1 met your brother as I was
comin' in on the railroad track. He told
me that "
But the young man failed to note the
sarcasm in his tones, and interrupted:
"I was just going to the hotel to look
for you. Shall we take a little stroll?"
"This is the first time I've ever been
in New York," replied the proprietor of
Armory Hall somewhat irrelevantly,
glaring up at the Gilsey House. "What
awfully high buildings they have here."
"Yes," replied the black mustached
young man affably. "Some of thm are
as much as ten stories high. I shoud "

The youth of the black mustache cast
one searching glance into the coun

Romance associations are revived by
the death, at Folkstone, at the age pf 83,
of Win. Bruce Wills, one of a famous
band of smugglers whose deeds excited
the Bympathy of the seafaring popula
tion to which they belonged. Wills was
one of the crew of the Four Brothers a
notorious smuggling craft which, in the
year 1812, had a desp rate fight with the
Badger, a famous revenue cutter. Four
of the smugglers were then killed and
six men wounded. The survivors were
tried in the admiralty court, but Henry
Brougham had them acquitted. An
English journal remarks sntentiously :
"The race to which he (Wills) Ix-donged
is extinct because a wiser fiscal policy
ha3 withdrawn from the seafaring com
munity a great source of temptation, and
has, in fact, put an end to the smug
glers' trade."
A little boy carrying home some ecrg
from the grocery, dropped them. "Did
you break any?" asked his mother, when
he told her of it. "No," said the little
f ellow, "but the shells came off of some
of 'em."
