The Price of Success.

Effort is the price OF success in every de-
parmenl of human action. From attainment
of rudimental knowledge to the salvation of
the soul, every step in progress is made by
uudaunted ioil. The boy drones over his
book, a slave 10 iistless laziness, thereby se-
curing 10 himself place at the loot Of socie-
ly. The Christian, who, like Bunyan's Tim
orous Misirust, fees al the voice of lions, is
undone. The man who shrinks from diff
Guilty in his business or profession, who refu-
ses to climb because the rock ia sharp and
the way steep, must make up his mind 10
slide back aud to be in the shadows below,
while others use him as stepping stone TO
their own Using. For ,hs--such is the con.
sltulion of socie,y-lhere is no help. The
poet wrote truly who said
"Thou must either soar or scoop,
Fall or triumph, stand or droop
Thou must either serve or govern,
Must be slave or must be sovereign,
Must ia fact be block or wedge,
Must be anvil or must be sledge."
To.shake of an indolent spirit, or stir one's
sell 10 exerlon, to reach constantly upward,
TO struggle with firm foolhold on the most
slippery places, to wrestle maulully, even
when princpalities and powers are our foes,
TO refuse submission TO any evils however
frowning, are conditions we must either full
fl or sink to litleness, TO uselessness, per
chance 10 ruin. Therefore, with brave
heart and unconquerable spirit, every man
should address himself to the work of The
day; striving with pure views and religious
lfus; for an increase of his talent, and for a
victory, which shall enable him to stand un-
abash ed in the last day. He who strives
need feor no failure. His triumph, though
delayed for lime, shall come at lasl,--Ad-
uertiser.

Treatment Of Scarlet Feuer. Julia A. Nj,
of Pottsville, Pa, desires our advice in refer
ence to the domestic treatment of scarlet fe-
yer. -
Keep the bowels moderately open with
castor oil: give freely of elder blossoms,
balm or composition tea 10 promote perspi-
ration: if much fever present sponge the
body occasionally with weak ley, and give
enough lobeliae-infusion or tincture-every
two or three hours to slightly nausea,e :-in-
deed if the throat is ulcerating andthe symp-
toms putrid, increase it to produce occasion
al vomiting. This will not only aid in cleans
ing the throat, but prevent an accumulation
of putrid matter in the stomach, which in
all bad cases should be guarded against. If
the throat is sore, keep it well gargled or
Stcabbed with composition or pepper tea,
sweetened with honey, aud poultics of
brewers yeast, thickened with powdered
elm bark externally, changing every or 6
hours. Mixing little of the yeast with
cold water and administering it in table,
spoonful doses every or hours will prove
anti-septic in all cases where the putrid
symptoms predominate.-Med,eal Reformsr.

RATHER Too HoNEsT.-At late meeting
of County Temperance Association, mem

the effects of the new law.
One aged and somewhat uusophisicaled
gentleman, on being imporluned 10 give his
opinion on the subject of the local sale and
use Of liquor, said
"Well, guess about all can say is, that
used 10 buy rum for lew shlIings gallon,
and now they tax me six, and it aint mors'n
half as good as it was wont to be, either"
He was permitted to sit down.

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
A cRIaEAN irClDEST-BY BAYARD TAYLoI

"Gve Us song" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay, grim and threatening, under;
And the tawHy mound of the Malakof
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. The guardsman said:
awe storm the fer,s Tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough OF sorrow"
Then lay along The bauery's side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts, from Severn and from ely de,
And from tho banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot was Brtain's glory
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang 'Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like all anthem, rich and strong
Their batlle.eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet, as The song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains Of powder.
Bsyoud the darkened ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a FIRE OF hell
Rained on The Russian quarters,
With scream of shot, and burst oil shell,
And believing oil the mortars.
And Irish Morals eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang OF "Annie Laurie"
All, soldiers 10 your honored resi-,
Your trnih ami vaor bearing
The bravesl are The tenderest-
The loving are the daring.
