When Summer comes. in musing mind,

The dying flowers look mp and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodland shade;
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief
At last. old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne;
With bDisterous hands the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.

AIR RPoIsoS.-Peoplfhave often said that no
difference can be detected in the analyzation
of pure and impurekir. This is one of the
vulgar errors difficultao dislodgc from the Or
dinary brain. The fac is that the condensed
air of a crowded roomcives deposit, which,
if allowed to remain a fw days, forms a solid,
thick glutinous mass, hring a strong odor of
animal matter. If eXained by the micro
scope, ii is seen TO uiergo remarkable
change First of all, tits converted into a
vegetable growth, and th is followed by the
production of multitude of animalcules-a
decisive proof that it mus contain certain or
ganic beings. a writer itDickens' Household
Words, in remarking upoi this subject, says
that this was the result arted at by DR.. An
gus Smith, in his e&utifulsperiments on the
air and water of towns ,whetn he showed how
the lungs and skin gave OF organic matter,
which is, in itself, deadly lison, producing
headache, sickness, disease}r epidemic, ac-
cording to its strength. Wh,If few drops
of the liquid matter, obtainedy the conden-
sation of the air of foul locaty, introduced
into the vein of dog, can prsuce death by
the usual phenomena of typhusever, what in
calculable evils must not 1t pIruce on those
human beings who breathe it ain and again,

life with every breath drawn iuch contain
ination of the air, and conseque hot-bed of
fever and epidemic, it is easily vain the pow

Iiness will do all, so far as the abtion of this
evil goes, and ventilation and clnliness are

sults of common obedience to le laws of

ssThat is good news" replied the teacher
kindly. ''NelIy is fond of her books, 1 see,
and l am happy to know that she can have an
opportunity to study her books every day"
Then she continued, little goodhumored
mischief encircling her eyes. But how can
your mother spare both conveniently.
go, yes am'am-ves ma am, she can now.
Something has happened which she didn't
expect and she is as glad to hays US come as
we are to do 500
Sho hestated moment, but her young
heart was filed TO the brim with joy, and when
a child is happy it is natural for it to tell the
cause as it is for a bird to warbIe when the sun
shines.
So out of the fulness of her heart she spoke,
and told the teacher this little story.
She and her little sister were the only chill
dren of poor widow, whose health was so
delicate that it was almost impossible to
support heraclf and daughters. She was o.
bliged to keep them out of shool all winter,
because they had no clothes to wear, but she
told them if they could earn enough by do
ing odd chores for the neighbors to buy
each of them a new dress, they might go in
the spring. Very earnestly had the little
girls improved their stray chances, and very
carefully laid by the copper coins which usual
ly repaid them. They had each saved nearly
enough to buy calico dress, when Nelly was
taken sick, and as the mother had no money
before hand, her own treasure had to be ex-
pended for medicine.

aud Nelly could not go because she had no

either but she said | had better, for l could
then teach her some, and it would be better
than no schooling. stood it for fortnight,
but Nely's little face seemed all the time
looking at me on the way to school, and L
couldn't be happy bit; 1 finally thought
of a way by which we could both go, and l
told mother would come one day and the
next would lend Nelly my dress and she
might come, aud that's the way have done
this week. But last night somebody sent
sister dress just like mine, and now she can
come too. o, if only knew who it was, 1
would get down on my knees and thank them,
and so would Nelly. But we don't know, and
we have done all we could for them-'re're
prayed for them and oh, Miss VI. we are all
so glad now. Ain'tyou too'
s.Indeed 1 am,'' was the emphatic answer.
And on the following Monday, when little
Nelly in the new dress entered the school
room, her face radiant as rose in the sun
shine, and approaching the teachers table,
exclaimed in tones musical as thoae of
freed Fountain I'm coming to school every
day now, and am so glad'' Miss NJ. felt as
she had never before felt-that it was more
blessed to give than receive. No millionaire,
when he saw his name n public prints, landed
for his thousand doLr charities, was ever
half SO happy tina poor school-teacher,
who wore old gloveslalf a summer longer
thad she ought, and threby saved enough to
buy that little fatherles girl calico dress.

THE VICIssIrUDEs OF CoMNERCE.-A few
months since, the partner of commercial
house in New York city was taken to lunatic
asylum, utterly deranged, as was said, by his
unparalleled prosperity in business. During
the year previous. his firm had cleared
s. 300, 900. He died in the asylum, and his
own estate valued at 50 100000, all inves-
ted in the concern of which he was partner.
The firm itself failed the other day, and is
now said to be utterly inSolyent. One item of
the assets of the deceased's estate was one
thousand shares of the Illinois Central Rail-
road stock, which selling at the time of
his decease, at $40 share, and which was
worth, after paying up the instalments, $780,
900. The same property sold lately at public
sale at $4,000. All this occurred within
eighteen months-the prosperity, the insanity,
the decease, and the Insolvency.

PEPPER is an almost universal condiment.
Black pepper irritates and infames the coat
ings of the stomach; red pepper excites, but
does not irritate, consequently it should be
used instead of black pepper. 1t was known
to the Romans, and has been in use in the
East Indies from time immemorial, as it cor
rects that hatulence which attends the large
use of vegetable food. Persons in health do
not need any pepper in their food; but to
those of weak and languid stomachs, IT is ma
nifod more heafthfui to use cayenne pepper
at meals than any form of wine, brandy or beer
that can be named, because it stimulates with
out the reaction of sleepiness or debility.

Pay the Printer.

There are quite a number of our
subscribers who, we regret to say, have
paid us nothing for the Democrat since
we began its publication, We ask, in
all kindness how these persons would
fancy working for an individual for a
period of nearly two years, for just
nothing at all, and find Mem8slge8?-
Take the matter home to yourselves,
friends, and think how you would act
if placed in our situation. We know
that times are hard-that the difficulty
of obtaining mOnegis great--but, hav-
ing waited for nearly two years for the
the small sums due US, you cannot
blame us for urging their payment
We need money badly, and hope that
such as have paid us nothing will be
the first to respond to our call.
