& Surgeons Story.

One sometimes has to resort to droll
methods to save life and alleviate suffer
ing, in the service Of wounded men,
where balls, shells, and all Instruments of
death have played in every conceivable
manner with human bodies.
l shall never forget one case Of this
sort when | was down at our receiving
depot after the battle of Fair Oaks. 4
poor fellow came in to US in the greatest
agony that you can conceive Of lie was
suffering from thirst, the most excruciat-
ing. He would snatch up vessel of
water and pour it down his throat, and it
would run right out on both sides of his
neck Poor fellow, he was shot straight
through the @ophagus, and not one drop
of liquid could reach his stomach. L
wanted stomach pump, but it was not
to be obtained there, so took long,
flexible tube used for surgical purposes,
and gently and carefully pushed it below
the wound into the stomach. | then pre-
pared some canned milk and water Of
such strength as | thought his stomach
could bear after long fasting, and with a
syringe injected it. Never did poor
fellow manifest more JOY or appear to be
more relieved. "More, MORE" were the
signs he made when ] had given him all
that prudence could allow, and when /
proposed to withdraw the tube to relieve
him until it should be proper to feed him
again, he would not let me, but proposed
TO hold on to his precious "friend In
needw Gradually we gave him toast
water and strained soup, and when L last
saw him he was in the ambulance with
his tube still hanging from his mouth,
and his syringe, which he had learned to
use himself, in his hand. So probably it
aemained until the holes in his throat
united, and nature, the wonderful healer,
rendered the surgeons contrivance no
longer necessary.

of hard wood, l by 2 inches, should be
mortised in and nailed to the spars to
keep them to their places. For a better
but more costly plan for stable floor
see Feb. No. of the Amertcaa Agricuztu,
rtst.
Earthen floors are, perhaps, the most
healthy for horses feet, but it re-
quires attention to keep them in order
When an earthen floor is made level at
first, horse will sometimes get his hind
feet worked down two or three inches
below its surface, which makes it as bad
for him as if his floor had that much
descent from his fore feet to his hindfeet
A slightly concave bed is the easiest and
most natural for dumb animals generally;
but when horse paws his floor, or when,
by any means, his floor becomes elevated
between his fore and hind feet, he then
has just that kind of a floor which no
horse should be permitted to lie down on.
L have seen horses and colts trying to
rest themselves on such places which
groaned as badly as if they were suffering
from cholic. CIT.

a Goose with a Good Memory.

A famer being out shooting, wounded
wild goose. Being wing tipped and
unable to fly he caught it and brought ii
home alive. 1t proved to be a female
and turning it into his yard with a flock
of tame gees, it soon became quite tame
and familiar, and in little time its wound
ed wing entirely healed. In the follow
ing spring when wild geese emigrated to
the northward a flock passed over the
farmers barn yard; and just at that time
the leader happened to sound his bugle
note; our goose remembering the well
known sound, spread her wings mounted
into the air, Joined the travellers, and soon
disappeared.
La the succeeding autumn the wild
geese as was usual returned from the
northward in great numbers. The farm
er happened to be in his yard when
flock passed directly over his bare. At
that instant he observed three geese sep
arate themselves from the rest, and after
wheeling around several times, they "a
lighted in the middle of the yard. I'M
agine his surprise and pleasure, when, by
certain well remembered signs, he recog-
nized in one Of the three, his long lost
fugitive. 1t was she indeed. She had
travelled many hundred miles to the lakes,
had there Matched and reared her off
spring, and had now returned with her
little family to share with them the sweets
of civilized life.

classes can do for their soldiers!
What the people can do in their separate
trades!
What Pennsylvania can do!
What New Jersey can do!
What Delaware can do!
What each county can do!
What each city and town can do!
| What each profession can do!
| What each trade can do!
What each occupation can do!
( What each mandatory can do!
! What each bank, insurance company and
railroad can do
What each mine can do!
What each workshop can do
What each family can do!
What each man can do!
What each woman can do!
What each boy and girl can do!
We want to show the world what Amer
lean freemen are ready to DO for their SOL

This is great work and the time short.
The way to do so is to ORGANIZE!

1t is easily done. If the workmen viii
authorize their employers to deduct one day

AN I FOR PEACE! YES.

For the peace which rings out from the car
mons throat,
And the suasion of shot and shell,
Till rebellion's spirit is tramped down
To the depths OF its kindred hell.
For the peace which shall follow the squad
ron's tramp,
Where the brazcn trumpets bray,
And, drunk with the fury of storm and strife
The blood-red charges neigh.
For the peace that shall wash out the lep
rous stain
OF our slavery-foul and grim,
And shall sunder the fetters which creak and
clank
On the dark trodden dark mans limb.
will curse him as traitor, and false of heart.
Who would shrink from the conflict now,
And will stamp it, with blistering. burning
brand.
On his hideous, Cain-like brow.
Out! ont Of the way! with your spurious
peace,
Which would make Us rebellion's slaves;
We will rescue our land from the traitorcus
grasp,
Or cover it over with graves.
Out out of the way! with your knavish
schemeS-
You trembling and trading pack
Crouch away in the dark like a sneaking
hound;
That Its master has driven back.
You would barter the fruit Of our fathers
blood,
And sell out the stripes and stars,
To purchase a place with rebellion's votes,
Or escape from rebellion's scars.
BY the widows wall, by the mothers tears,
BY the orphans who cry for bread,
BY our sons who fell, we Will hever yield
Till rebellion's soul is dead

n5y A trial of some interest to the me

B4g| A trial of some interest to the med
ical profession has taken place before the
Police Court of Paris. A physician was
prosecuted for having divulged the nature
of his clients disease, and thus injured
his character. The court found the ply
sician guilty, and sentenced him to i'm
prisonment for one year, to pay fine of
five hundred francs, to be placed for five
years under the surveillance of the police,
and to pay the costs of the trial. The
judgment of the court added further, that
''inasmuch as by thus divulging the ma
ture of his disease he caused the CON-
plainant an injury for which compensation
is due to him, the tribunal, moreover,
condemns the accused to pay the prosecu-
tor sum of one thousand francs DANA
ges."

a Whisper,

There was never a day so sad and long;
But it wore at length to evensong;
There was never life so full of grief,
But death came at last to its relief.
There was never q soul SO wholly sad,
But It found some moment to be glad;
There was never heart so full of care,
But it had one hope to cheat despair.
There was never a winter dark and drear,
But changed to spring in the early year;
There was never a summer, well a-day!
Bat it sloped through autumn TO decay.
