Death may be postponed for weeks,
months, or even years. There may, In
such cases, be remission or abatement,
but no real intcrmission or suspension Of
the symptoms. The chances Of COM

treatment Of course becomes very dim
cult. We may sum In . few words the
rules on this point laid down by Mr..
Erichsen. '-
They are absolute rest Of body, and Of
course to the exclusion Of travel, 10 often
injudiciously recommended; absolute
rest Of the mind, and at . latter stage
counter irritants, locally applied, or the
use Of powerful drugs, which we do not
even name, as they can only be used by
the advice and under the careful inspec-
tion Of An experienced physician.

Beecher's Farm .

HENRY WARD BEEcHER, 1t Is we'll
known, has q very marked taste for, and
a very considerable store Of knowledge
concerning agriculture and horticulture.
Within few years he has fou nd himself
possessed Of time and money enough to
crafty his taste rs is shown by the follow
ing description Of his farm in Pcekskill,
n. Y: The farm is about two miles
east Of the railroad depot, and beautiful
site for a summer residence. The resi-
dence Is low rooted, one story and hall
building, and resembles very much al
old fashioned farm house. The carriage
house and barn and foreman's residence
are all one edifice. In external appear.
ance this building is more imposing than
Mr.. Beecher's home, The farm consists
of about forty acres, and / am told its
cost may be estimated ut $4,000 When
Mr.. Beecher purchased it it WAS covered
with rocks and stones, but he has made
it bloom aud blossom with flowers, and
so enriched the soil that it yields pro
digious harvests. The farm is a garden
The whole Of 1t has been subsOiled =
inches, and every stone large and small
has been taken out and put into fences
or drains. I never saw such vegetables
fruit. He has four acres Of onions, and
last year sold 800 barrels. The foreman
told me he sold last year about S6,OOt
worth Of produce from the place. Such
onions, beets, squashes and dwarf pear
I never before witnessed. One small
pear tree not three feet high had 81 pears
on it, and many other trees seemed bur
| dened with their fruit.

ease.

A passenger, who happens to be one,
with others, who have received the
shock from a rail-car crash, frequently
gets out with his limbs whole, his body
unbruised and his mind unconscious Of
any disorder beyond general weakness
and confusion, which he sets down
vaguely to u shock to the system, while
his friends chpritably attribute to ex-
cessive fright. By and by, however, he
finds, and they find, that "he is not the
man he was;" he has lost bodily ener-
gy, mental capacity, business aptitude !;
he becomes i'll and irritable, grows pal
lid, loses his memory, finds his sleep
disturbed, frets about the state of his
eyes, loses his delicacy of touch, and,
finally, displays all the symptoms Of
paralysis. He is, in fact, suffering a
concussion Of the spine-not merely OF
the bony case, but of the spinal marrow
or chord which it contains, and from
which nerves Of sensation and motion
are sent to all parts Of the body. The
concussi0n has shaken the nervous force
out Of him, just as, to use An ingenious

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,
has been pleased to vouchsafe to us ~ a
people another year Of that national life
(which is an Indispensable condition Of
peace, security, and progress. That year
moreover, has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war that
was 50 recently among us has not been
any where reopcned. Foreign interven-
ton has ceased to excite alarm or appre-
hension. Intrusive pestilence has been
benignIy mitigated. domestic tranquili-
ty has improved. Sentiments Of concil-
iation have largely prevailed, and afYec-
tions of loyalty and patriotism have been
widely renewed. Our fields have yield
ed quite abundantly; our mining indus
try has been richly rewarded and we
have been allowed to extend our railroad
system far into the interior reccsses OF
the country, while our commerce has
resumed its customary activity in for
! ings demand a national acknowledge
ment.
Now, therefore, I, Andrew johnson,
President of the United States, do here
by recommend that Thursday, the twen-
ty-ninth day Of November next, be set
apart and bc observed everywhere in the
several States and Territories ofthe Uni
ted States, by the people thereof, as a
day Of thanksgiving and praise to Al
s-mighty God. With due remembrance
that in His temple doth every mar
speak of His honor. I recomend, also
that on the same solemn occasion we do
humbly and devoutly implore Him to
grant to our national councils and to our
whole people that divine wisdom which
alone can lead any nation into the ways
of all good. ,.
In offering these national thanksgiv-
| ings, praises, and supplications, We
have the Divine assurance that the Lord
remaineth King forever. Them that
are meek shall He guide in judgement,
and such rs are gentle shall He learn
His way. The Lord shall give strength
to His people, and the Lord shall give to
His people the blessings Of peace.
In witaess phereof, have hcrcunte
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to bc affixed. Done at the
city Of Washington, this Sth day Of Oc.
tober, in the year of our Lord one thous-
and eight hundred and sixty six, and ol
of the dependence Of the United States
the ninetieth.

NEW ENGLAND DYING OUT.-AbOut
three-fourths Of all the children born in
Boston during 1865 were Of parents born
in a foreign land: therefore, argues one
of the papers, yankee stock will in
time die out in New England" We
think by that time, Yankee stock will
have peoplcd, will be the predominant
stock of this continent from the st. Law
renee to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific shore. Because Yankee in
telligence knows how to rear children to
maturity, while foreign ignorance and
filth kills, almost AZ soon rs born; for
out of every hundred children dying,
lightweight are Of foreign parentage,
and this has been the rate for the last
five years it New York City, where the
native population is forty-nine per cent,
and the foreign fifty-one, or nearly equal,
and it is presumed that the same proper
tions hold good in all our large cities
Hence If sixty-two per cent Of all the
children born in Boston are Of foreign
parents, and lightweight per cent die, it
is very easy to see that they might as
well not have been born at all. aud q
great deal "mightier," as far as the ques-
ton of the foreign outstripping the Yam
kee stock Is concerned. The fact Is,
| neither Yankee men nor Yankee prin-
| ciplcs, nor Yankee thrift, will die out,
while this planet Is inhabited; and ifit
! is ever depopulated by con6agration
the last survivor Of . smouldering world
will be Jonathan, at the death singly and
alone, resolutely trying to put out the
fire, II by famine, the last loaf Of bread
will be owned by . Yankee.-HuT.
