IMPORTANCE OF PRESENCE OF
MIND IN A FAMILY.


/. If a man faints. place him fiat or
his back, and let him alone.
@. If any poison is swallowed, drink
instantly half a glass of cool water, with
a heaping teaspoonful each of common
salt and ground mustard stirred into it;
this vomits as soon as it reaches the
stomach; but for fear some OF the poison
may remain, swallow the white of one or
two raw eggs, or a cup of strong coffee.
These two are antidotes for a greater
number of poisons than any dozen other
articles known. with the advantage of
their being always at hand. Ifthey can
not be had, a pint of sweet oil, lamp oil,
"drippings," melted butter, or lard, are
good substitutes, especially if they vomit
quickly.
8. The best thing to stop the bleeding
of moderate cut instantly, is to cover it
profuseIy with cob,web, or -four or salt,
half and half.
4. II the blood comes from a wound
by jets or spirits, be spry, or the man will
die in a few minutes, because an artery is
severed; tie a handkerchief loosely around,
neal the part between the wound and the
heart; put a stick between the handker-
chief and the skin and twist it around un.
til the blood ceases to flow; keep it there
until the doctor comes; if in a position
where the handkerchief cannot be used,
press the thumb on a spot neal the
wound between the wound and the heart;
increase the pressure until the bleeding
ceases, but do not lessen the pressure for
an instant, until the physician arrives, SO
as to glue up the wound by the coagula,
ton or cooling of the hardening blood.
S. If your clothes takes fire, slide the
hands down the dress, keeping them as
close to the body as possible, at the same
time sinking to the floor by bending the
knees; this has a smothering effect upon
the flames; if not exliI guished. or a great
Roadway is gotten, lie down on the floor
roll over and over; or better, envelope
yourself in a carpet, rug, bedcloth, or any
garment you can get hold of, always pre-.
ferring wooden.
6 If the body is tired, rest; if the
brain is tired. sleep.
Z. If the bowels are loose. lie down in
a warm bed, remain there, and eat
nothing until you are we'll. Drink a
small dose of Blackberry Wine or Brandy
three times a day.
8. If an action of the bowels does not
occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom
until they do act, at least for thirty-six
hours; meanwhile, drink largely of cold
water, and take a dose of dog wood Bit
tiers three times a day. exercising in the
open air to the extent OF a gentle perspi>
ration, and keep this up until things are
rigbted. This suggestion, if practiced,
would save thousands OF lives every
year, both in city and country.

Losing the Happy out of a Heart

A mother who was leaving home on visit, told her little boy and girl not to go through gate at the bottom of their garden, which opened into the wood. The children were very happy for a long time after their mother had been gone, but at last in theii. play, having reached the gate through which they were not to pass, the little boy be- gan to feel an carhcst desire to go into the wood. He persuaded his sister to follow him. Nothing appeared to dis turb them, and after some rambling and playing about, they returned, having concluded not to tell their mother where they had been, unless she asked them she had not expected them to disobey, and never thought of inquir- ing. Notwithstanding this, the little boy did not feel comfortable. He knew he had done wrong, and he could not help feeling unhappy. aaillg
 When Sunday night came, and the little boy had been washed for bed, he and his mother commenced 10 have q nice talk, as they usually had at that time, James could not keep his sad secret, any longer from his kind moth- cr so lie told her what he and his sis ter had done and in some sort to show that her command was needless, he said that nothing had happened to them. The mother let them know that some thing had bcfallcn them, and that they had lostsomething, and urged her little boy to think what it could be- Perhaps she meant they had lost the habit of obedience. The little boy could not thnnk for long time of anything he had lost He knew that he had left his ball safe, that his knife was in his pock- ct, and that his slate pencil was at hand when he wished to use it. But as he continued to think, he remembered how uneasy and uncomfortable he had been all the week, and at last, in low, sowowful voice, he said: " Mother l did lose something in the wood, 1 dsd lost the happy out of my heart!"
