EFFECTS OF IMAGINATION ON DIsEAsE.-Thc

physician obtained Of the authorities two
criminals who had been condemned to death.
to do with them as he thought fit. One of
these convicts was made to sleep in bed
in which, as he was told, man had died
with the cholera but the night before-ll-
though such was not the fact After rest
less night, the criminal was taken with all
the symptoms Of cholera, and died of that
disease, declaring that he had caught il

The other was made to sleep on a bed
wherein a man had died but a few hours
previously OF the fatal disease. This fact.
however, was unknown to the occupant of
the bed, who arose Ill the morning refresh
ed by his sleep. remaining in perfect health
The stories, also, will occur to many, Of men
who,On being condemned by bleeding, were
blndfolded, and after slight punctures with
needles, placed so that water would trickle
slowly from the tancied wound The men.
believing that they were bleeding to death
exhibited precisely similar symptoms to
persons who Were undergoing the reality,

that fear and imagination exercise great
and controlling effect on disease.

WINTER COMETH.

Whose voice is that which sounds outside
Whose footstep is that hear
Across the open plain draw near?
Who comes this way at break of day,
And knocks against the cabin-doOr
To fright tn children of the poor:
His face it has the look of death
His beard is white with frost and snow
No kindly beam his dull eyes know
His step is bold ; his breath is cold
Oh, hark it is his tread hear,
Each day it sounds more loud and near.
He pauses not beside the way,
But like a conquering hero comes,
With gathering sounds of mufied drums
From yonder height at dead of night
When all beside is hushed and still.
His clarion tones the wide air fill.
In ICY letters strong as steel
He chains the torrent in its course
That through the chasm thunder hoarse
Beneath his look the meadow brook,
Which babbled on through weed and grass.
Grows on a sudden smooth as glass
Inc stately palace windows shine
With pleasant warmth and brilliant light
To charm away the gloom of night
And guests there, the rich and fair.
Who to and fro on joyous feet
Move to soft strains of music sweet
He enters not, but straightway goes
On to the hovel, damp and low,
Where shines no firelights cheerful glow
The old man groans the mother means
The infant opens wideits eye
And gives low and piteous cry.
He threads the city's heartless streets
See where yon lonely taper burns,
Up the steep flight of stairs he turns
With fingers worn, around her form,
She wraps the coarse shawl, torn and old
To keep her from the bitter cold
He meets the beggar in his path
Who shiers as the foe draws nigh,
And shIinks to let the tyrant by
On, on he goes his cold breath blows
The pelting rain and stinging sleet
Adogn the blank, deserted street
On mountain heights he ranges wide:
There, by the darkness led astray.
The traveller sinks upon his way,
Helpless, alone and weary grown,
And there half buried in the storm
The brave dogs find the lifeless form.
So comes the tyrant Winter on,
1t is his footsteps that hear
Each day it sounds more loud and near
His voice is bold: his touch is cold
Oh, hark he knocks againat the door:
Now may the Great God help the poor

The heat will start the etfervescence and AS the
paste rises it will bake, thus preventing it from
falling. Hence the eliminating point of light
ness is attained. The latter rises snowy and
beautiful. and the pancakes will swell to almost
undue Dimensions, absolutely the lightest and
tenderest that can be baked, with not a touch
of acid. More salt must be added than usual to
couhteract the too fresh taste when soda alone
is used. Thus the bother of emptyings is all
dispensed with. Pancakes in this way can be
baked at any time and on the shortest n tice.
We keep our flour mixed, graham with buck

| G c. g. G RAILR0AD.-This road, counec
ting the Forest City of the Lake, with the
Queen City Of the Ohio River during tho last
year has enjoyed degree of prosperity unpre-
cedented in the history of rairoding in Ohio
The trains have for the most part of the year run
upon schedule time, making close connection at
the different points along the route, Offering to
travellers speedy transit to their desina-
tions, doing away with the growing occasion
ed by losing connection with otherroads, The
trains are in the hands of competent men, none
but first class Engineers are employed. The
cars in are all first class passenger coaches,
furnished with all the modern improvements of
the age, contributing to the comfort of the pas
sengers during the journey. The Engineers are
all true and reliable men, men well acquainted
with practical engineering, whilst the Conduc-
tors are urhane and gentlemanlv to all on board,
thus insuring both safety and pleasure upon
the part of those ira yelling over the road. The
high state of popularity enjoyed by this road,
in the minds Of the public, is owing in great
measure to the julicieus management of Hon.
L s Flint, who has occupie the responsible
position Of Superintendent for number OF
years. We can, from our knowledge of the G.
