selves in readiness, in case he should

LYING IN BED. 1t is often a ques-
ton among people who are unecquant-
ed with the anatomy and physiology
of man whether lying with the head
exalted or level with the body, was
the most wholesome, Most, consult
ing their own case on this point, ar
in favor of that which they prefer.
Now, although many delight in boil
stering up their heads at night, and
sleep soundly without injury, yet we
declare it to de dangerous habit.
The vessels in which the blood passes
from the heart to the head are Away
lessened in their cavities when the
head Is resting in bed higher than the
body therefore, in all diseases atten-
ded with fever, the head should be
pretty nearly on level with the
body ; and people ought to accuStom
themselves to sleep thus. Medical

sHoErNe HoRsEs FOR WINTER TRAv

Shooting HORSES FOR WINTER TRAY
Elm frosty weather you cannot have
uninterrupted riding with horse shod
in the ordinary way. The sharp points
of frozen mud will wound the frog of
the foot, aud with snow on the ground,
the hollow hoof soon collects hard
ball, which makes the footing very in
secure. But those evils are remedied
by piece of leather nailed on under
the shoe--a protection to the hoof
which makes surprising difference in
the confidence and sure footedness of
the animals step.

Down by the breaking waves we stood,
Upon a rocky shore
The brave waves whispered courage,
And hid with friendly roar.
The faltering words that told the tale
I dared not tell before.

Her love, my life she'd bless,
Was it her voice, or some fair wave
Forsooth, scarce may guess
Some murmuring wave, or her sweet voice
That lisped so gently, eyes"
And then, in happy silence too,
I clasped her fair wee hand,
And long we stood there careleasly,
While DER the darkensd land
The sun set, and fishing boats
We're sailing for the strand
It seems not many days ago
Like yesterday--no more
Since thus We stood, my love and I.
Upon the rocky shore
But was four and twenty then,
And now I am fourty -four.
The lilly hand is thinner now,
Aud in her sunny hair
sea some silvery lines, and on
Her brow some lines of care;
But wrinkled brow or silver locks,
She's not one whit less fair.
The fishing boats a score of years
Go sailing from the strand;
The crimson sun score of years
Sets O. r the darkened land,
And here tonight upon the cliff
We're standing hand in hand.
My darling, there's our Oldest girl.
Down on the rocks below
What's Stanley doing by her side ~
My wife says you should know
He's telling her what yot told me
A score of years ago."

VOLUME 3. NUMBER 1873
The "Wild Cat" Regiment

The regiment of lumbermen now in
camp at Harrisburg must be ''some per-
simmons" if one-half what is reported
of them be true. Their skill with the
rife is touch above extra. The en-
tire lives of the men are spent in the
pineries of Potter and Elk counties,
except when they are engaged in
rafting, and their only passtime is
with the rife, which brings the small
est as well as the largest game to their
feet. The use of small shot they con-
slider unworthy the skill of the hunter
They bring down squirrel from the
top of pine SO lofty that the game
is scarcely visible to ordinary eye sight.
The men, in their daily work of cut
ting timber, receive more or less axe
wounds, and for this reason several
of them were rejected on inspection.
They grnmbled immensely at their re-
lection and are determined to fight,
and for this purpose are seeking adj
mission to other regiments. One man
who was rejected lost his temper, and
offered to bet the Inspector that he
would walk fifty miles without com
planning of WEAKNESS, and not eat or
drink anything Until the work was
accomplished More than this, he
offered to double the first wager that
he could pierce the eyes of JEFF. Davis,
or any other traitor, with his rife at
distance of two hundred and fifty
yards. TIE inspecting officer was SO
impressed by the mans remonstrance
against rejection that he declined the
bet and ordered him to fall back into
the ranks. Five of the rejected men
recently exhibited their skill with the
rife, by knocking a fye-cent piece
from split stick at the distance of
one hundred and fifty yards.

gradually established itself in his mind.
His son Sam was missing from the

One Sunday afternoon Sam came in
and went up stairs rather heavily,
when the Judge hailed him

supplied abundance of punch.
The bully, now staggering, attempt

the Quaker -

This hospitable offer was accepted,
and the bully, utterly weak, staggered
across the room to chastise the Qua

In combating deep rooted prejudi-
ces, the point to be aimed at should
be, to adduce what is sufficient, and
not much more than is sufficient, to
prove your conclusion if your argu-
ments are very much beyond What is
sufficient, suspicious may be aroused
from this very circumstance. Labor
ers who are employed in driving
wedges into block of wood are care
full to use blows of no crater force
than is jut Sufficient. If they strike
too hard, the elasticity of the wood
viii throw out the wedge.
