with some important information in regard 10 the
treatment of Cholera, during its existence iu Mis-
sissipp in 1882. Mr.. Walker not only at

3. AS soon the dose is swallowed, strip tho
patient and rub him gently, but efiectually, with
some stimulating ointment, by as many hands as
can have convenient access the rubbing to be
continued so as not TO occasion fatigue, until the
medicine has produced its proper effect.

VeSper Bells.
BY MARY E. CHAMBERLAIN.

BY MARY E. CHAMBERLAIN.
Vesper bells from tower are ringing.
And the nuns their aves are singing
Dimly now the trees are waving,
In the lake their branches laving,;
Lilly bells their leaves are closing,
Every breath of air reposing
Louder now FER vale and lea,
Swells the thrilling Aue Maize.
MRidens in their leafy bowers,
Cullng there the sunset flowers
Matrons in their quiet homes,
Catch the burden of those tones
Children at the cottage doors,
Laborers crossing now the moors,
Wives with infants on the knee,
Echo now that Aue Marie.
Knights returning from the war,
Minstrels at the palace door,
Love at the easement kneeling,
Hears the vesper's solemn pealing-
Hears the nun, their echo waking,
Evenings trembling silence breaking;
Rests he from the tale he tells,
o oDey those Vesper bells.
While the anthems softly steal,
Sounding hill-sides catch the peal /;
Ger the waters, lark and blue,
Ring the vespers loud and true;
Priests, with flowing robes and stoes,
Praying fol departed souls,
Cease their beads. while louder swell
Those sweet sounds, from vesper bell.
So may all of mortal race
Turn to heaven gra teful face,
When the toll of life is DER,
When We rest to toll no more,
When life's sun in peace goes down,
In deaths sunset soft and brown,
As the heavenly chorus swells,
B less we then life's vesper bells
