Now speed thee on good Lewis,
For the snltry sun goes down,
The hillside shaGo,s~s m. riror
And the rFst'' tue tt'el
And the lilies nod their white bells
BY the margin of the pool.
He crossed the river Kaska.
With its chesnut-covered hills.
And the fetlocks of his roam steed
Were wet in hundred rills.
aAnd there he cried in transport,
The uldcrs grecneSt grow,
Where the wild stag comes for water,
And her young f;twn leads the doc.
Grasping his trusty rifle,
lie whistlcd his dog behind,
Then stretched his finger upward
To know how set the wind.t
o s,eady grew the strong arm,
And the hunters dark eye keen,
As he saw the branching antIers
Through the alder thickets green.
! A sharp, clear ring through the greenwood,
: And with mighty leap and bound,
The pride of the western forest
! Lay bleeding on the ground.
Then out from the leafy shadow
a stalwart hunter sprang,
And his unsheathed scalp knife glittering
Against his rife rang.
,,And who are you," quoth Lewis,
THAT come 'twiXt me and miner
And his chuck was flushed with anger,
AS II Bacchaut's flushed with wine.
What boots that to thy purpose?"
The stranger hotly said:
"I marked the prize when living,
And tits mine when dead"
Then their sinewy arms were grappled,
And they wrestled long and we'll,
Till stretched along the green sward
The humbled hunter fell.
Upspriuging like u panther,
, Iu pain and wrath he cried,
s''rhough your arms may be tue stronger,
} Our rifles shall decide"
: Stay, stranger" quoth good Lewis,
'rhe chances are not even;
Who challenges my rifle
Should be at peace with Heaven.
f ;:Now take this rod of alder,
C And set by youder tree.
D A hundred yards beyond me,
f And wait you there and see.
: ..For he who dares such peril
But lightly holds his breath;
I May his uushrived soul he ready
To welcome sudden death!'
e So the stranger took the alder,
n And wondering stood to view,
While WctZel's aim grew steady,
And lie cut the rod in two.
1t "By heaven!' the stranger shouted,
e 'One only, far or nigh,
i Hath arms like the 1.-THE young Hsh-tree,

e "And that is Lewis WetzeI;"
e Quoth Lewis, "Here he stands,

Till the summer dew descends,

DIpTHERiA-Irs TREATMENT.

Diptheria. or putrid sore throat has been

sections. An exchange gives the following

'.Hs Gays the very 6rst stage of the dis

or drowsiness, and if quinine is admins
tered promptly and in full doses it viii re-
lievc nearly every case without any other
treatment. His treatment is quinins in
from two 70 ten grain doses. according to
the ago Of the patient, whenever it is posi-
bic TO use it. with wash Of the chloride OF
potash for the throat and cauterization when
there is mach liberation. But he says in
most cases he has seen, it Was not possible
to use quiniHe, for the reason that there was
too much fever, or too great tenderness OF
the stomach-in either of which class or
cases quinine must not be used.
"Hs says also emetics and powerful pur-

treatment as this he regards as fatal So the
disease in moet instances. His opinion is
that the same or similar causes produce
