Apoplexy.

Means Stricken from : description
given by the Greeks, under the feeling
that it was of an unearthly origin. The
person falls down as If suddenly struck
down with death. There is neither
thought, feeling, nor voluntary motion.
There is no sign of life, except that of
deep, heavy breathing. 1t comes on with
the suddenness of lightning's flash, and
with as little premonition. A common
fainting fit occurs suddenly, but there is
no breathing, no pulse, and the face is
pale and shrunken. In apoplexy, if the
person is not really dead, the face is flush
ed, the breathing loud, and the pulse full
and strong, usually. In mild attacks, a
person is found in bed of a morning ap-
parently sound asleep: but if SO, he can
be easily walked up. In apop!exy no
amount of shaking makes any impress
sion. The earliest Greek writers de-
scribe apoplexy with minute accuracy,
which has scarcely been exceeded since,
showing that it is a malady belonging to
all times.
To pass from apparent perfect health
to instant death on entering ones own
dwelling, or sitting down to the family
table, or while at the happy ireside, in
the loving interchange of affectionate Of
fees, strikes us as being perfectly terri
BILE. But the terror belongs to the wit
nesses the victim is as prefectly destitute
of thought, feeling, sensation and consci-
ousness, for the time being as if the head
had been taken of by cannon ball. In
many cases, after lying for hours and
even days in o state of insensibility, the
patient wakes up as if from an uneasy
sleep or dream; but often, as many sad
ly know, there is no return to life.
The essential nature of the disease
seems to be such an excess of blood in
the brain that its appropriate vessels or
channels cannot contain it, and it is Sex
travasated,' let out, upon the substance oi
the brain itself, and thus arrests the func.
tions of life. Persons with short necks
who are 'thickest,' corpulent, are almost
the actual subjects of apoplexy, when
not induced by falls, blows, shock, and
overdoses Of certain drugs.
Apopelxy is an avoidsble disease, OK

cept in some cases of accidents, which
we can neither forsee nor prevent it is,
essentially, too much blood is either sent
there too rapidly, or, when there, is de-
tanned in some unnatural manner, the
essential effect being the same. What
ever 'excites the brain does so by send
ing an unnatural amount Of blood there /;
such as intense and long thought on one
subject all kind of liquors; any drink
containing alcohol, whether ale, beer, ci-
der, wine or brandy, excite the brain and
endangers apoplexy. So will hearty
meal, especially if alcoholic drinks are
taken at the same time; going to bed
soon after eating heartily, sleeping on the
back, if corpulent, may bring on an at
tack any night; SO will hot bath after
eating. The ultimate effects of all OPT
ates are to detain the blood in the brain
while the things just mentioned send it
there in excess.
The great preventatives are warm feet,
regular daily bodily habits, eating nothing
later than three o'clock, P. NJ, and the
avoidance of opiate, tobaccos, and all that
can intoxicate. In cases of attack, send
for a physician. Meanwhile, put the
feet in hot water, and envelope the bead
with cold; ice is better. 1t is safer to
live in billy than level country. Win
ter is more dangerous tn a summer.
The liability increases rapidly after for

it gradually diminishes. Statistics seem
to show that the most dangerous years

The Jolly Old Pedagogue.

Twas jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
His form was bent and his gate was slow,
His long, thin hair was as white rs snow,
But A wonderful twinkle shone in his eye;
And he sang every night as he went to bed,
oI.et us be happy down here below;
The living should live though the dead be dead,
Said the Jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
Hetaught his scholars the rule of three,
Writing and reading and history, too;
He took the little ones up on his knee,
For kind old heart in his breast had he,
And the wants of the littlest child he knew,
Learn when you're young" he often said,
There's much to enjoy down here belowi
Life for the living and rest for the dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
With the stupidest boys he was kind and cool,
Speaking only in gentlest tones,
The rod was hardly known in his school
Whipping, to him, was barbarous rule,
And too hard work for his poor old bones;
Besides, it was painful, he sometimes said,
ave must make life pleasant here below,
The living need charity more than the dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
lie lived in the house by the hawthorn lane,
With the roses and woodbine over the door;
His room was quiet, and neat and plain,
But spirft of comfort there held reign,
And made him forget he was old and poor;
Il need so little" he otter said,
"And my friends and relatives here below
Won't litigate over me when Pm dead,
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He smoked his pipe in the balmy air
Every night when the sun went down,
While the soft wind played on his silvery hair
Leaving its tenderest kisses there,
On the Jolly old pedagogue's jolly old crowni
And feeling the kisses, he smiled and said,
Twas glorious old world down here below;
"why wait for happiness till we are dead'"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
He sat at the door one midsummer night,
Atter the sun had sunk in the West
And the lingering beams of golden light
Made his kindly old face look warm and bright
While the odorous night wind whispered rest
Gently, gently he bowed his head;
There were angels waiting for him, know
He was sure Of his happiness, living or dead,
This jolly Old pedagogue, long ago.

The Ok Sermon-A Lecture from
the last Generation.

Rev. David Merrill of Peacham, VT,
was well known minister of Caledonia
County, generation gone--well known
and respected not only there, but at the
West, where he lived and preached for
many years, most Of them at Urbana,
Ohio. While there in 1882, his atten-
ton was directed TO the subject which he
developed in the famous "Ox Sermon
Of this sermon over ts0o million, twO
hundred thousand copies, were circulated
by the American Temperance and the
American Tract Societies, and the good
done by it was immense. We find some
extracts from the Sermon in No. 4 o
Miss Hemenway's Vermont Gazetteer
which, for aught that we see, have as
good an application to our day, as TO that
of the Author, and which we accordingly
copy below:

There's Somebody Dead in There.

a AVAO . OO&nSDONJ OSNo AA hShS
There's somebody dead in there said
one little boy to another, as passed a
house, on the bell knob of which hung,,a lit
tie piece of black. My heart repeated what
the little boy had said there's some
body dead in there, as walked slowly
and thoughtfully down the street. All
who passed and saw the emblem, learned
the same sad story that somebody was
dead But who, few cared to ask, or
how.
A few short months since, when the
cold winds were drifting the snow through
the streets and pilling it on side walk
and roof, little stranger with face
0, so little land eyes that looked wond-
eringly around on the new world it had
discovered, made two hearts glad. BY and
by it grew SO strong that it made brief
journeys from chair TO mammals out
stretched arms laughing the while as
hard as it could. Often as passed the
house, sweet baby face turned towards
me, and little eyes peeped out at me
through the half closed blinds, and my
heart blessed the little child. But few
days and it sickened, and last night when
the sun went down it died.
miss sweet face at the widow to-
day, and the little carriage is empty /;
and as passed the house, l am repeat
ing sadly with the little boy, there's
somebody dead in there The heart
knoweth its own bitterness, and that
young mother Knows better than anybody
else, that there's somebody dead in the
house, as again and again she lifts the
white covering that couceals the repose
of her first born and only child. God
help the young mother! This afternoon,
while the Sabbath fingers, and the holy
hours are full of rest and stiffness. they
will carry the little one to its quiet home
in Mount Hope, to await the coming
of its Redeemer.
They have buried their dead out of
sight, and it still seems as if somebody
was dead in that house. Oh, those are
sad hours at the ireside--and only they
who have felt them know how SAD, when
it is said, there is somebody dead in
there How the sorrow settles down
like a dark cloud above and around us
The sunshine seems all withdrawn and
verify we should die, did not God send
it back to us again.
By-and-by, dear reader, of your house
and mine will it be said, there's some
body dead in there Perhaps that some
body will be you, or me; perhaps that
sweet wife that journeys by our side, or
the little one that nestles close in a cor-
ner of our heart. God help us in that
hour. for all human help will fail. OF
every earthly house will it, sooner or lat
err. be said, there's somebody dead in
there,' but there is house not made
with hands, of which this shall never,
never be spoken, Down through the
ages sounds the glorious, everlasting pro-
ciamatiop, there, there shall be no more
death. If you and /, dear reader, have
a mansion in that house, let death come
to our earthly house, if God sends it. 1t
can trouble us bu. little while, and then.
at last, standing within the fold Of the
Good Shepherd,--aR tears shall be s0ip-
ed from all faces.
