Gun.ShOt Wounds.

Gun-shot wounds are not painful i'm
mediately, but become so by inhamma-
tion.- Their treatment is first to avoid
a collapse, and this is to be done by
encouraging language, and, if ueces-
sary, little stimulant, administered
with care, as it may increase the in
fammation. The next thing is to stop
the bleeding, by the application of
pressure the next, to find out if any
bone is broken, and if SO to steady it
and place it in natural and comfor-
table position. After this cold water
dressing may be applied, though many
surgeons are in favor of a warm water
fermentation, but we think their practice
untenable, for cold water removes
Inflammation by evaporation, and warm
water may impart heat, instead OF
removing it. In the case of slight
injury, cold water dressings and rest Of
muscles will complete the cure. For
desperate wounds, the subsequent treat
ment requires the skill of a Larrey OF
Abernethy. mof sea4 Erl3f

ss It's Me.''

The following excerpt from the local
column of a New Y ork paper, has more
true poetry in it than many a piece of
sounding rhyme of loftier pretensions
and greater length:
"It's me-" Passing neat little
martin-box of a house, last evening, we
happened to see man waiting at the
door for admittancc. At the instant a
green blind above just opened a little
way, and by the gaslight we caught a
glimpse of pair of brilliant eyes, and
fiutter of something white, and a
bird-toned voice softly said, "Who's
there? ?" It's me-" was the brief re-
sponse. The eyes and the flutter dis
appeared from the window, like stars
in cloud, and we almost fancied, as
we passed on, we could hear the pat
tering of two little feet upon the stairs,
winged with welcome. { 9eHot 9df
1t was a trifle; it all happened in an
instant, but it haunted us for an hour.
''It's mel" Amid the jar of the great
city, those words fell upon the quick
ear aloft, and met glad response.
-"It's me!'' And who was me p
The pride of hearts life, no doubt
the tree a vine was clinging to the
"Defender Of the the faithful" in the
best sense in the world. - -rtZ7r
r" It's me !" Many there are who
would give half their hearts, and more
than half the hope in them, for one such
recognition in this wide, wide world.
On 'Change, in the Directory, at the
Post Office, he was known as A. B. c..
esq. but on that threshold, and within
those walls, "it's me-" and nothing
more; and what more is there one
/ would love to be? EHe caa..i Z mo
Few of all the hearts that beat 81
wildly, warmly, sadly, slowly, can rec
ognize a true soul amid the din ant
darkness of the world, in that simpl
but eloquent ''jt's me- AS if be ha(
said,
Now am nothing to all the world, ~
/ For Pm all the world to thee. lec p.

What Makes q Man.

Here are few wise words that will
be endorsed by every one who has had
any heavy lifting to do in his life. We
do not know the author, but we do
know that they may encourage some
struggling one:
A man never knows what he is capa-
bic of until he has tried his power. In
sight, energy and will, produce aston
ishing results. How often modest
talent, driven by circumstances to
undertake some formidable looking
work, has felt its own untried and hith-
erto unconscious power rising up to
grapple and to master, and afterwards
stood amazed at his own unexpected
success. Those circumstances, those
people, enemies and friends that pro.
woke us to any noble undertaking, are
our greatest benefactors. Opposition.
and prosecution do more for man than
seemingly good fortune. The sneers
of critics develop the latent fire of the
young poet. The anathemas of The
angry church inflame the zeal of the
reformer. Tyranny, threats, faggots,
fortune, raise up heroes, and martyrs,
who might otherwise have slept away
slothful and 'thoughtless lives, never
dreaming what splendid acts and words
lay buried in their bosoms. And who
knows but the wrongs Of society are
permitted because of fine gold which
is beaten out of the crude of humanity
Here is the truth worth considering
Are you in poverty? Have you suf
fered wrong? Are you beset by enc
mics? Now is your time? Never lie
there depressed and melancholy
Spend 10 more time in idle whining
Up, like a lion! Make no complaint
but if difficulty fights you. roar your
defiance. You are at school, this il
your discipline, poverty and pain arr
your masters-but use the power Goo
has given you, and you will be maste
at last. Fear of failure is the mos
fruitful cause Of failure Stand firm
and you will not fail. What seems
failure at first is only discipline. Ac
cept the lesson-trust the grand result
up and up again strike and strik
again; and you shall always gain, what
ever the fortunes of to-day's or to NOR
rows battle. -. 49, =

A Beautiful Picture.

The man who stands upon his own
soil, who feels that, by the laws of the
land in which he lives, by the laws OF
civilized nations, he is the rightful and
exclusive owner of the land which he
tills, is, by the constitution of our
nature, under a wholesome influence,
not easily imbibed by any other source.
He feels, other things being equal, more
strongly than another, the character OF
man who is lord of an inanimated
world. Of this great and wonderful
sphere, which, fashioned by the hand
of God, and upheld by His power, is
rolling through the heavens a part of
FHis-His from the centre of the sky.
1t is the space on which the generation
before him moved in its round of duties,
and he feels himself connected by a
visible link with those who follow him,
and to whom he is to transmit home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone
to their long home, but he can trace
their last footstep over the scenes of
his daily labors. The roof that shelters
him was reared by those to whom he
owes his being. Some interesting
domestic tradition is connected with
every inclosure. The favorite fruit-tree
was planted by his fathers hand. He
sported in boyhood beside the brook
which still winds through the meadows.
Through the field lies the path to the
village school of earlier DAYS. He still
hears from his window the voice of the
Sabbath bell which called his father to
the house of God; near at hand is the
spot where his parents laid down to rest,
and where, when his time has come, he
shall be laid by his children. These
are the feelings of the owners of the
soil. Words cannot paint them; gold
cannot buy them; they flow out of the
deepest fountains of the heart, they are
the life-springs of fresh, healthy, and
generous national character.-EUerett.

THE HUMOROUS sSIDE.-Stories about
the Phillippa affair still form staple
of conversation. Here is one OF the
best: A certain Indiana company,
almost worn out with the march, was
struggling along with very little regard
to order. Hurrying up to his men, the
Captain shouted, "Close up, boys I!
d-n you, close up! If the enemy aeere
10 Nre on you aehe,a yoa're struggling
dto'ag that aoay, they could not hat a
id one Of yoas! Close upr' And
the boys closed up immediately.

We stood where the snake-like ivy
Climbed over the meadow bars,
And watched as the young Night sprinkled
The sky with her cream like stars.
The clover was red beneath us
The air had smell like June
The cricket chirped in the grasses,
Aud the soft rays of the moon,
Drew our shadows out of the window,
Distorted, and lank and tall;
His shadow was kissing my shadow
That was the best of all.
My heart leaped up as he whispered,
81 love you Margery Lee," 80
For then one arm of his shadow
Went round the shadow of me.
Il love you, Margery, darling.
Because you are young and fair,
For your eyes bewildering blueness,
And the gold of your curling hair,
No queen has hands that are winter,
No lark has voice so sweet
And your ripe young lips are redder
Than the clover at your feet
My heart will break with its fullness,
Like cloud o'ercharged with rain;
tell me, Margery, darling,
How long must love in vain %
With bushes and smiles answered.
will not tell what)-just then
/ saw that his saucy shadow
Was kissing my own again.
He promised to love me only
promised to love but him
Till the moon fell out of the heavens
And the stars of age grew dim.
Oh, the strength of mems devotion!
Oh, the VOWS a woman speaks
'Tis years since that blush of rapture
Broke redly over my cheeks. 9r
He found gold that was brighter
Than that of my floating curls,
And married cross-cyed widow,
With dozen grown-up girls.
And did pine and languish?
Did weep my poor eyes sore? ll
Or break ny heart, do you fancy,
For love that was mine no more?
stand tonight in the meadow
Where Harry and 1 stood then,
And the moon has drawn two shadows
Out over the grass again.
And low voice keeps repeating
SO close to my startling ear,
That the shadows melt together
al love you, Margery, dear"
''Tis not for your cheeks rich crimson,
And not for your eyes soft blue,
But because your heart is tender,
And noble and pure and true"
The voice is dearer than Harry's:
And SO am glad, you see,
He married the cross-eyed widow
Instead of Margery Lee.

Hon. VIM. L. Dayton

The TreRton True american says
1t being made certain that the gen.
tleman whose name heads this article
has been appointed Minister of the
United States tn France, we take oc-
casion to remark that, although differ
ing from him politically, we cheerfully
concede that no better appointment
could have been made from the party
to which he belongs. Mr. Dayton,
besides being a lawyer of considerable
learning and experience, has occupied
a seat on the Supreme Bench Of the
State. His training as a diplomatist
being thus complete, it is we may be
permitted to say, accompanied by the
dignity and courtesy of an honorable
and high minded gentleman. Politi-
cally we do not think that Mr.. Day.
ton can be classed with the extremists
of his party. He will, however, as
may be expected from one of his high
character, support the policy of the
administration of which he is the APP
pointee, with frmness but without as
perity.
1.-THE mission to France has been for
many years one rather of courtesy ra-
Their than Of necessity but the events
now transporting on this side of the
Atlantic will render the position ex-
ceedingly delicate and arduons The
"Confederated States" will seek recog-
milton from the European Powers, and
the representatives Of the United
States near them, may have to en-
counter difficulties which have MOI be-
fore fallen to the share of any of their
predecessors. We indulge the hope
that Mr.. Dayton will, on his part,
meet them beeomingIy and in such a
spirit as to mitigate, as far as possible
the embar assment consequent upon
the claims of the new Confederacy to
be recognized by the government to
which he is commissioned. Much tact
and good judgment viii be required
to prevent our domestic divisions from
involving us in serious controversies
with foreign powers We earnestly
hope that Mr.. Dayton will be found
equal to the task"

THE MINISTER TO ENGLAND. -Chas
Francis Adams the new Minister to
England, is the third of his family who
has represented the United States at
the Court of st. James. He is an ac-
eomplished scholar, profoundly versed
in law, political economy and diploma
cy, and one of the clearest and most
sagacious statesmen Of the day. The
earlier years of his life were spent
abroad with his father, at the Courts
where he was the American Ambassa,
dor, and it is only for the last ten or
fifteen years that he has taken an ac-
tive part in domestic politics. There
is no man in the United States more
conspicuously fitted for that highest
and most responsible diplomatic post
in the gift of the Government than he.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS We were
never in better condition r. a good
business than now, except for the
senseess policy of the seeding States.
Money is plenty and can be really
obtained There is no such plethora
OF manufactured goods as to prevent
the employment of our mechanics
were there not unanspicious signs on
On the Southern border. Let us hope
that the cloud will soon dispense and
that the busy hum of labor may soon
be heard in our factories. Let us hope
that the wiser instincts of business life
will begin to assert their supremacy
and that we shall no longer be called
to record that derangment of enter
prise and effort which destroys our
prosperity.
