And though J were all sturdy men,

The days when we hallooed and hooted,
And ran down the pasturo barefooted;
We stole o.it of childhood a day.
And filled It up brimful of play
Tho pond and the swift skimming swallow:

Who-no! whc-ool
The barn full of hay
Where many a day
Wc tumbled down over the mows;
The grass In the meadow was growing,
The cows In tho meadow wele lowing
Mo-oo! mo-oo!
Ah, life has no joy
LIIco that of a boy
Running barefootcl after the cowsl
Wo ate of tho apples that fell
From tho harvest tre.3 over tho n ell;
For nevtr In Ufa could we meet
With apples that seemed half so sweet;
Nor water had wo ever tasted
Liko that which tho spring ever wasted;

Tho lastimes of boyhood we courted
In places wbero once wo had sported.
And when tlio old dinner horn Uow
We felt the old hunger anew
Twos more like enacting a dream!
We waded and fished in tho stream,
Which somehow looked shallow and small.
Nor did tho old trees seem as tall;
Each Idol of boyhood seemed shattered.
And even the kingfisher clattered.
No power can bring back tho joys
Of childhood to overgrown boys.
Not the same was the pond nor tho swallow.

Mo-oo! mo oo!

An Improved Waterproof Garment.
An improved waterproof garment has
been patented in England which it is
claimed possesses thorough ventilation.
Tho top portion of the back of tho gar
ment below the collar, or neck band,
is formed by letting in a piece of fabric
which,is not treated with India rubber,
but is simply acidized or otherwise
treated for the purpose of rendering tho
same shower proof, when not intended
to bo covered by n collar or cape; or it
may be, in some cases, such as when it
is is intended to bo covered by a collar
or cape, it simple woven or openwork
fabric not treated with acid.
Tlio form of tho inserted piece may
bo somewhat triangular, crescent
shaped or otherwise, as found most
convenient, tho object being to dove
tail into the garment between the
shoulders a fabric which will permit of
the egress of perspiration from the
wearer's body without the necessity of
an ugly or awkward appearance. An
other portion of tho improvement is to
lino the back of the garment with a
pieco of lace or fabric of an openwork
nature, having woven or manufactured
thereon tho name of the manufacturer
of the garment or other name. Cloth

No More reacorlt Feather.
Until within a few years only a smnll
number of even the wealthiest persons,
especially in America, felt that they could
nfford to include peacocks among their
pets. Tho feathers wero costly, and every
woman prided herself upon the possession
of a few In her lionnet. If she were for
tunate enough to have a fnn made of these
feathers she felt proud indeed. Gradu
ally, ns the hunters secured larger quan
tities, wealthy people began to nso them
for decorative purposes. Elegant screens,
6omc with tho feathers spread thinly on a
cloth surface, and others, which were
more costly, with the feathers closely
sewed together; fans with silver handles,
Eofa cushions and chair seats were made
of the brilliant plumnco. The feathers
were even used in the decoration of walls,
and for friezes nud dadoes.
Hut suddenly, and apparently without
cause, tho demand ceased. The feathers
that had previously been tho joy of tho
owner, wero looked upon with distaste
and pronounced out of fashion. They
wero ruthlessly torn from tho hats they
hnd adorned, from walls and screens, and
thrown into the rubbish heaps.
Whence canto this sudden and unex
plained dislike? The reporter was told
that an ancient superstition to tho effect
that peacocks nnd peacocks' feathers wero
sure to bring bad luck to their owner had
been revived and had brought about the
downfall of the fashion. Ho mado in
quiries at the stores where peacock feath
ers wero formerly supplied, nnd found
that tho demand for them had ceased en
tirely. At Tiffany's it was said that they
had not sold a fan or screen of peacock
feathers for soveral years. Customers
never ask for them. Tho reporter was in
formed at other houses that feathers that
formerly sold at high prices can now bo
obtained for twenty-five, fifty nnd scventy
flvo cents a bunch. A number of impor
ters said that they were used very little.

Tlio Instinct of Leadership.
While, to make a great captain, all tho
mental and physical qualities must exist
in tho greatest possible strength, varieties
of theso in combination, to a greater or
less degree, have been possessed by gen
erals of less or greater reputo in the
world's history, and tho number nnd in
tensity of theso qualifications in tho com
bination give the general his relative
place in the list of great soldiers. Some
generals aro only brilliant upon tho battle
field, and some even only in particular
phases of a battle, though they may pos
sess certain qualities of a great leader to
an extent which amounts, in its way, to
nn exhibition of genius ns great as any
great captain has ever shown.
The particular quality which mado Na
poleon seize the colors nnd incite his troops
to follow him at tho bridge of Areola is
well worthy of attention as being, at
times, a most important factor in a battle.
Alexander and Henry of Navarre, wero
leaders whoso personal power on the
battle field may bo said to have directly
influenced many of their victories. Many
of Napoleon's lieutenants had this instinct
of leadership; Lannes nnd Mnsscna to an
eminent degree. Washington showed it
in the power of his personal presence to
change a retreat into an attack, and Scott
mado a brilliant display of it at tho battlo
ot Lundy's Lane. Tho civil war shows
but little of this divine gift. Gen. C. F.
Smith may bo said to have had tho genius
of battle highly developed in him. ns was
conspicuously shown at tho battlo of Fort
Doneison. It is not always given to
genius to succeed in these efforts. Na
poleon failed at the battlo of Areola,
though it is possible that tho desporato
fighting around his person on tho cause
way kept tho enemy closely employed
until another force had taken the town in
rear, and that, therefore, his act secured
his great victory. Gen. "Haldy" Smith,

DEATH FROM FREEZING.
A TRAVELER DESCRIBES HIS EX
PERIENCE IN THIS LINE.
I Trom Mnrtlgny to tlio Hoplc of tlio
Grrnt St. llernaril llrt Indication ot
Something Wrong Strange and Dell
clou Scusatlviio.
On the particular occasion referred to, I
etnrted from Mnrtlgny nt 0 n. m. and in
tended to traverse the thirty milus to the
hospice of the Great St. Bernard before
night. Time being of consequence, I
thought it prudent, so ns to get to the
summit of the pais before dark, nottostop
for a meal to be cooked at Orsieres or
Liddes, but pressed forward to tho last
place Veforo the snow tramp commenced,
the Cantino do Proz. There 1 met with a
young noblemnn and his guide. After an
interchange of Inquiries, and nn offer on
my part of some cliocolato and biscuits to
tho other travelers, as the cantine was
hard up that day in eatables, we set out
together, and had crossed tho Plan de Ma
rengo without any presentiment of what
was going to happen. The first indication
of something wrong wa3 the peculiar ap
pearance which my surrouudings seemed
to assume. Everything looked lnzy to
my vision even tho snow and tho rocks
lying about looked ns if enveloped in a
fog, although the afternoon was beauti
fully clear. Then I felt that I must sit
down and enjoy it; but tho guide's fiask
of kirschwnfser set 1110 going again. Very
soon, however, the former feeling re
turned; but the samo treatment tempo
rarily recovered me. At last I took to
stumbling along, fell down several times,
and at length could not help myself. My
companions urged me in vain to nrouso to
one more effort, but it was useless.
The guide's experience was now of tho
utmost service. Divining the exact stato
of the case, and what might happen, ho
took a very sensible course. Leaving the
marquis to see to me, lie hurried forward
to meet the two monks who always camo
down from tho hospice nt a particular
hour each day, so as to obtain their
efficient help. On their arrival, tho mar
quis either went on, on his own account,
or was requested to go forward with the
news. Anyhow, 1 was informed the next
tiny thnt his report was, that "M. lo
had perished in the snows." In tho
meantime tho two monks and guido took
me in hand, and, shaking mo up, mado
my hands clasp a belt around tho guide's
waist, nnd each ot the monks took an
arm. The former acted as a substitute
for horse power and tho two latter as
wheels. As for myself I was fast becom
ing a dead weight. Between the cantine
and the hospice there is a spaco of seven
and a half miles of very rough walking,
uphill, of course, and with a depth of
several feet of snow where tho enntonniers
had not cleared a path. I suspect that
my deliverers had a very difficult task,
over at least five miles, to keep mo from
getting into that bleep from which there
is no waking.
The sensations of that journey during
occasional gleams of consciousness will
never bo erased from my mind. Is there
such an essence of ecstatic delight as
elixir mortis? if there is, it must havo
been something liko it, or tho very thing
itself, which I enjoyed that day. No
words can possibly express the surpassing
desire which I felt to sit down and enjoy
my felicity and sleep. Hut my inexora
ble friends knew that sleep meant death;
and though my repeated appeals of
"Uoucement, douceinent," wero plaintive
enough, they were met by redoubled
efforts to force 1110 onward, even when my
own legs would not move any longer. Tho
collap-x' was complete. During tho sus
tained efforts of the three men, I had but
momentary glimpses of consciousness. I
remember seeing two somethings, black,
one on each side, but very indistinct.
Ther-e, of course, were tho friendly
monks. The one overwhelming idea that
filled my mind then was how to get to
that sleep, that bliosful euthanasia which
poets have Ming about, but which my
companions were doing their best to rob
me of, just when 1 had got it within my
grasp.
Another lucid interval occurred just ns
we approached the door of the hospice, for
I saw two or three of tho dogs; and then
I was lost again, till 1 found myself in the
large room, surrounded by several of tho
canons. One administered some extract
of orange llowers, and that was followed
by somo warm broth. Then another
tugged off my boots, socks, etc., nnd be
tween them, somehow or other, they got
mo into bed. (This particular room would
not have been mine if I had gone as an or
dinary traveler usually does. I am under
tho impression that it was looked upon as
the best bedroom, being tho one used by
Napoleon Bonaparte when ho stopped at
the hospice en route to the Italian cam
paign.) In the night I woke, breathing
very quickly and very hard. Tho room
itself had tho appearance of being ono
muss of cotton wool. Congestion of tho
lungs had got hold of mo now, nnd I felt
very ill indeed. Hut, however, tho next
morning I did what tho monks had inef
fectually tried to impress upon mo tho
night before, and I mado n'. effort. My
first duty to others was to see tho excel
lent guide and mako him a duo acknowl
edgment; nnd as tho noble nnd heroic
monks, who live only for others, would
not hear of anything but thanks, I had
recourse to the tronc of tho church. To
tho threo men I am. humanly speaking,
indebted for my life. A grateful heart
need never bo ashamed of its precious
burden. Chambers' Journal.

EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER.
The Commotion Canned lijr the Statement
of a rhyilrlHii.
An unusual article from tho Roches
ter, (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle was
recently republished in this paper and
was a subject of much comment. That
the article caused even more commotion
in Rochester, the following from the
same paper shows :
Dr. J. It. lienion, who is well known
not only in Roeluster, but in nearly
every part of America, sent nn extended
article to this paper a few dnys since, I
which as amy puoiisneo. detuning nis '
remarkable experience and rescue from
what seemed to be certain death. It
would he iuiossll)lo to enumerate the
personal inquiries which liavo been
made at our olliee ns to the validity of
the article, but they have been so num
erous thnt further "investigation of the
subject was deemed necessary.
With this end in view a 'representa
tive of this paper called on Dr. lienion
at his residence, when the following in
terview occurred: "That article of
yours, Doctor, bus created quite a whirl
wind. Aro the statements alwut the
terrible condition you were in, and the
way you were rescued such 11s you can
sustain?"
" Every one of them and manv addi
tional ones. I was brought so low by
neglecting the first nnd most simple
symptoms. I did not think 1 was sick.
It is true I hud frequent headaches; felt
tired most of the tiino ; could eat noth
ing ono day and was ravenous tho next;
felt dull pains and my stomach was out
of order, but I did not think it meant
anything serious.
"The medical profession has been
(renting symptoms instead of diseases
for years, and it is high timo it ceased.
The symptoms I have just mentioned or
anv unusual action or irritation of tho
water channels indicate tho approach of
kidney disease more than a cough an
nounces the coming of consumption.
We do not treat tho cough, but try to
help tho lungs. Wo should not waste
our time trying to relievo the headache,
pains about the body or other symp
toms, but go directly to the kidneys,
the source ot most of these ailments."
"This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half tho
deaths which occur arise from BrightV
disease, is it, Doctor?"
"Precisely. Thousands of diseases
are torturing people to-day, which in
reality are Brigbt's disease" in somo of
its many forms. It iH a Hydra-headed
monster, and the slightest symptoms
should strike terror to every one who
has them. 1 enn look back and recall
hundreds of dentha which physicians
declared at the timo were caused by pa
ralysis, apoplexv, heart disease, pneu
monia, malarial fever and other common
complaints which I see now were caused
by Brigbt's disease."
" And did all these cases have simple
symptoms at first?"
' " Every ono of them, and might have
been cured as I was by tho timely use
of the samo remedy. 1 am getting my
eyes thoroughly opened in this matter
and think I am helping others to see
the facts and their possible danger also."
Mr. Warner, who wns visited at his
establishment on N. St. Paul street,
spoke very earnestly :
" It is truo that Brigbt's disease had
increased wonderfully, and we find,
by reliable statistics, that from '70
to '80 its growth was over 250 per cent.
Look at the prominent men it has car
ried nil', and is taking oil' every year, for
while many aro dying apparently of
paralysis and apoploxy. they aio really
victims of kidney disorder, which causes
heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc.
Nearly every week tho papers record the
death of soiiio prominent man from this
scourge. Recently, however, tho in
cro'HO lias been checked ,and I nttributo
this to the general use of my remedy."
" Do von think many people are af
flicted with it to-day who do not realize
it. Mr. Warner?"
"A prominent professor in a New Or
leans medical collego was lecturing be
fore his class on the subject of Brigbt's
disease Ho had various fluids under

to the usual test. As ho watched tho re

and in a tremblii g voice ho said : 'Gen
tlemen, I have made a painful discovery ;
have Brigbt's disease of tho kidneys;'
and in less than a year he was dead. Tho
slightest indications of any kidney diffi
culty should bo enough to strike terror
to nhy one."
" You know of Dr. Honion's caso?"
" Yes, I have both read and heard of
it."
" It iB very wonderful, is it not?"
" No more ho than a great many others
thnt havo como to my notice as having
boon cured by the samo menus."
" You believe then that Brigbt's dis
ease can lie cured."
" I know it can. I know it from my
own and tho experience of thousands of
prominent persons who wero jdvon up to
die by both their physicians and friends."
" You speak 01 your own experience;
whut was it?"
"A fearful ono. I had felt languid and
unfitted for business for years. But I
ilid not know what ailed me. When,
however, I found it was kidney difficulty
I thought thero was little hope, nnd ho
did tho doctors. I havo since learned
that one of the physicians of this city
pointed 1110 out to a gentleman on tho
street one day, saying: 'Thero goes a
man who will bo (lead within a year.' 1
believe his words would have proved
truo If I had not fortunately used tho
remedy now known as Warner's Safo
Cure.'f
" Did you mako a chemical analysis of
tho case of Mr. II. II. Warner some threo
years ago, Doctor? was asked Dr. S. A.
Lattiinoro, 0110 of the analysts of the
Stuto Board of Health."
" Yes, sir."
" What did this analysis show you?"
' A serious disease of tho kidneys."
" Did you think Mr. Warner could ra
cover?" " No, sir, I did not think it possible."
" Do you know anything ubout tho
remedy which cured him?"
" I have chemically analyzed It, and
find it pure and harmless."
Tho standing of Dr. lienion, Mr. War
ner and Dr. iatUnioru in the commu
nity is beyond question, and the state
ments they make cannot for a moment
bo doubted. Dr. Honion's experience
shows that Brigbt's disease of the kid
neys is one of the iiiovt deceptive and
dangerous of all diseases, that It is ex
ceedingly common, hut that it can be
cured If taken in time.

Sidnoy Clay was a London buildor'n

years of ago and hnd a wifo and several

family, and this lady had a pet dog, u
toy terrier called Peep, which beenmo a
great favorite with all. Clay took tho
pet dog for n walk and lost it; presuma
