MUTUAL FoRBEARANCE.-The house
will be kept in a turmoil where there
is no liberation of each others errors,
no lenity shown to failings, no meek
submission to injuries, no soft answer
to turn away wrath. If you lay a.
single stick of wood in the CRATE, and
apply fire to it, it win go out; put on
another stick, and they will burn; and
half a dozen, and you will have blaze.
There are other fires subject to the
same conditions. If one member of
the family gets into passion, and is
let alone, he will cool down, and pos
sibly be ashamed, and repent. But
oppose temper to temper; pile on the
fuel; draw in others Of the group, and
let one harsh answer be followed by
another, and there will soon be blaze
which will inwrap them all in its burn
ing heat.

MATERNAL INFLUENCE.-Governor
Briggs, of Massachusetts,, recently re-
lated the following incident. After
reading with great interest the letters
of John Quincy Adams's mother, he
one day went over to his seat in Con-
gress, and said to him, ''Mr. Adams, 1
have found out sOhO made you." "What
do you meah? said he. ''I have been
reading the letters of your mother, I"
was his reply. With a flashing eye
and glowing face he started up, and in
his peculiar and emphatic manner,
said, eyes, Briggs, all that is good in
me, l owe to my mother"

FEVER AND AGUE---DE NEUV1IL SPECIFIC


Many years since the fever and ague
prevailed in the French West India
islands, of so virulent a type as to
carry off. great numbers of victims,
and to threaten almost total depopu-
lation. The government offered large
reward for the best remedy, which was
obtained by the discovery of the
preparation of which / furnished the
receipt, and which not only cured the
disease, but completely eradicated ii
from the system, ensuring the patient
against a renewed attack.
In 1921, the residents of Washing
ton City were subjected to the disease
to an unusual and alarming degree
The French Minister, M. De Neuville,
who had been educated as a physician
presented this receipt, which had OBJ
tanned the prize from his government
to an elderly gentleman who had been
reduced to the last stage of weakness
by daily attacks; his three attending
physicians pronounced in favor of its
trial, and in five days it effected a per-
feet cure. 1t was subsequently ad-
ministered in more than a thousand
cases with like success.
RECEIPT. OF best London Peru
Wan bark, ] OF. powdered rhubarb,
oz. salts of tartar, + OF. powdered
gentain and 8 drops oil of wormwood
either made up into Is equal pills, OF
what is preferable, mixed with Is wine
glasses of water, claret or port, in a
bottle.
One pill or one wine glass to be taken
fasting; an hour afterwards light food
at twelve o'clock bowl of light soup;
at one o'clock a pill or wine glass Of
medicine; an hour after a tumbler oi
wine with toast or sponge cake dipped
in it, or otherEght food; atseven o clock
third pill or wine glass Of medicine
an hour afterwards light supper
The bottle must be well shaken before
taking each dose.
The chills will usually be broken on
the second day, but perseverance
through the fifteen doses is necessary
in order to eradicate the disease from
the system. The medicine must not
be taken while the patient is under the
influence of fever, but there must be q
delay of an hour after the fever has
subsidized. The directions as to diet
must be strictly observed, and the appe-
tite which frequently becomes ravenous
must be restrained during the five days
The prescription must be made up by
druggist of responsibility, as Peruvian
bark is frequently ofimperfect strength

remedy known through your widely

DEvoTING THE MUMMIEs TO A USE
FUL PURPosE.-Dr. Deck, of New York,
comes out with the startling statement
that henceforth all paper may be de-
rived from the mummy catacombs of
Egypt. The doctor has explored the
entire valley of the Nile, and has be-
come so accustomed to speak Arabic
that he has almost forgotten his mother
tongue. He estimates that the num-
my pits of the Nile contain about five
hundred millions of embalmed Egpy-
tians, who, he says, will, with their
linen and papyrous cerements, furnish
excellent material for frst-class paper.
He does not explain the rationale of
his theory, but as the adipose and
muscular matter of these bodies have
all been transformed into fibre, it is
possible, as he says, that it can be con-
verted into pulp with the same facility
as vegetable matter. Let this idea be
put into practical effect, and it may
even happen that one Of the Ptolemies,
or Cleopatra, or even of Nebechad-
nazzar himself, may yet furnish mate
rial upon which to print daily news
paper. They would thus certainly be
useful in death as well as in life

BE CAREFUL OF SMALL THINGS.

Irving in his life of Washington
dwells on the particularly with which
the great hero attended to the minutest
affairs. The father of his country, as
his correspondence and account books
show, was 'scareful of small things" +"
as well as of great, not disdaining to
scrutinize the most petty expenses of
his household! and this even while
acting as chief magistrate of the first
republic in the world. In private cir
cles, in this city, tradition preserves
numerous anecdotes of this character
istic, which, if necessary, We could
quote.
The example of Washington, in this
respect, might teach an instructive
lesson. to those who scern what they
call "petty" details. There are thou
sands of such individuals in every
community. We all, know more or
less of them. Yet no man ever made
fortune, or rose to greatness in any
department, without being careful Of
small things" As the beach is COM
posed of grains of sand, as the ocean
is made up of drops Of water, so the
millionaire is the aggregation Of single
adventures, often inconsiderable in
amount. Every eminent merchant
from Girard and Astor down, has been
noted for his attention to details. Few
distinguished lawyers have ever pract-
iced in the courts, who have not been
remarkable for a similar Characteristic.

By JOSEPH SYKES.


Child of the forestI one Of those.
Whom nature loves te own
O'er whom holy spell she throws
To win them near her throne;
Thou lover Of the misty mountain,
Thou hunter of the crystal fountain,
Weld from the jagged rock
Thou spark Of heaven incsrnated;
With wild bells and the dew-drOp mated,
And with the thunder shock
How hast thou stood within the courts
OF beauty's palace hall,
And gazed upon her children's spOrtsu
And knew and loved them all;
Thou reader of the bright expanse,
Thou kinder at the utterance-
Of truths eternal dream
OF deathless love, made manifest
In budding leaf, in wild-bird's nest
In valley and in stream
All ordered by supremest skill,
Which thou hadst eyes to see,
And strength of eloquence to tell
In words of pOesy:
The eyried eagles nobler brother,
Familiar each with one another
As crowned king with king
But then, affectionate. withal
Towards cen the humblest bird of all
That spreads russell wing.
There, in that temple of delights,
Thy soul hath had its place
For many years of days and nights,
Entraced lifelong space,
Nodesert path, no solitude,
Howe'er uncultivated or rude,
But spread for thee feast
Of sweet and lovely mysteries,
Whose incense-cloud was songs of bliss,
And thou the gifted priest.
Oh AUDUBON! the world hath need
OF child-like hearts like thine,
Grit would seorn all choicest seed
That germs in the divine;
Thou earnest, deep-devoted teacher
OF beauty to thy fellow creature
Who, with a wizard rod,
Point'st upward to the fields of air,
And bidst him, contemplating there,
Behold the hand of God.

THE SHOT WE HAVE TO PAY.

For peace heard the cannon bang.
1 counted till hundred rang,
At each of those explosive sounds,
Thought $50 went one million pounds.
The bells, too, and the cheering boys,
Together made a merry noise,
Their mingled uprOar seemed to say
One hundred million pounds-hooray!
That two years war has cost; and what
For all that money have we got?
Experience chiefly, / surmise,
And hope that it will make us wise.
Wiseacres we have been, alasI
Forming one great collective Ass,
And penny wise, at last we've found
Is foolish something Ger pound.
Obliged to spend these miIliOns-could
We but have spent them as We would,
A little we should have, trow,
Besides experience now to show.
In widened streets we should rejoice,
Could we have been allowed that choice,
Some architecture would replace
Our edifces mean and base.
Obi what might not the board of Health
Have done with part of that v,st wealth
Divided into many sums?
For one thing, cleared of all the slums.
The Thames might now be drained--Orn near,
To ebbing bright and flowing clear,
With salmon soon as gudgeon thick,
At least as high as Hampton Wick.
We might have founded many schools,
That people might not grow up fools,
We might-what might we not have done
That Inortals do beneath the sun?
Oh! what a stress, OH what strain
On thew and muscle, heart and brain,
To work that debt out. so immense,
VIII be required for ages hence!
Compelled in strife to interpose,
We've had to wipe bloody nose,
And through that nose condemned to pay,
Must grin and bear it as we may.
In future we, perhaps, shall keep
Up, both on the land and on the deep,
a proper force of armed Police.
Whereby we may preserve the Peace.

THE PAST.

Weep not for what is past
With vain and fruitIess tears,
But husband well thy strength,
To serve the coming years;
In noble deeds, not idle grief,
Let the true soul find sweet relief.
Mourn not for what is past;
Though every passing day,
Some pathway may disclose,
Where thou hast gone astray-
Tears will but cloud thy sight
Not guide thee to the way of right.
Weep not for what is past;
Not tears Of blood viii bring
One wasted moment back,
Or stay Times rapid wing.
Pour not thy souls best life away
Begin anew to live--to-dsy.
Oh! weep not fsr the past,
Though in its dark domain,
The forms thou lovist are bound
By adsnhantine chain.
The desthless spirit should not be
So fettered to mortality.
What doth the grave egfold,
That there thy thoughts should turn7
Colder the clay beneath,
Than monumental urn.
The lost to thee--tO life are born
Rejoice then in their natal morns
The pasti that narrow span
Is nothing now to thes,
Poor prisoner of time,
Yet in thy infaneyi
The soul should earthly thrail despise-.
The future hsth no boundaries.
