IN MEMORY

Of the old Oaks that stood in the burial
ground at Sheshequin Valley Some per-
son cut them down to save the head-stones
underneath from gathering mould thus
wantonly destroying prouder monument
than mans poor art could ever build.
Grand old trees they were, and ever when
the sad thought Lof dying came to us, we
said "Sweet will be our rest under their
rustling leaves" Amid their branches the
earliest blue bird sang, and in the autumn
their leaves nestled lovingly over the sleep
ers beneath o! beautiful, beautiful trees
our hearts are full and our eye-lids dim
with tears that We shall behold ye no more
Summers will come, their rare sunshine
bringing
Harvests of blossoms, and golden sheaves,
But never again shall We hear the singing,
Oh! beautiful Oaks of your dusk green
leaves.
Always it seemed that pitiful signing
Crept through your boughs when we bur-
led our dead
Until we believed itiwere sweet to be lying
There with the grass and cool shadows
oerhead.
Now there are only the white head-stones
cleaning
Nothing for beauty left under the sky
Never again will a summer bird dreaming
Marble her song where the pale sleepers
lie.
Save for the dear ones who loved us when
living,
Time as he passes the loss might efface,
But ever and ever our hearts must be giving
Some pleasant thought to their last rest
ing place.
How do you know they heed aught of their
sleeping
Ashes and dust lying under the sod:
This We believe, and glory in keeping,
They do remember earth even with God.

DANGER OF RAISING A FAST HoRsE.-
The Rural Ne,O Yorker states the fol
lowing case, to enforce some sensible
advice to farmers, suggested, we pre-
sumo, by the display Of horses" :"
which is fast becoming the most at.
tractive feature Of our agricultural
shows
A well-to-do farmer of our acquain-
tance had the misfortune to rear a
really fine horse. The action of the
animal gave him great delight, and
nothing would do but an exhibition of
him among the professionals. He put
up his money and won. This gave a
higher fight to his ambition, and in
duced bolder operation. Success
rewarded his ventures. He neglect
ted his farm, imperceptibly acquired
habits to which he had before been a
stranger, and spurred on by past sue
cess and the Vaccinations of the Graf
ty,whose aim it is to fleece the gree n
and unwary, placed his farm in jeop-
ardy for the purpose OF raising money
to stake on the result of a race in
which his pet horse was to contend
for the prize ard mastery. The pro-
fessionals had now got the over-con-
fident farmer in the precise position
desired, and the result was what they
intended it should be, the defeat of
the farmers horse and the ruin of his
owner, The animal changed hands
and so did the farm. 1t was all down
hill with the farmer after this. His
family was broken up and dispersed,
while he, reckless and maddened by
disappointment and remorse, found
premature grave.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1867-03-14
COMMON SENSE AND PRESENCE OF
MIND,

If man faint away, instead OF
yelling like a savage or running to
him to lift him up, lay him at full
length on his back on the floor, loosen
the clothing, push the crowd away
so as to allow the air to reach him,
and let him alone. Dashing water
over person in a simple fainting fit
is barbarity. The philosophy of a
fainting fit is, that the heart fails to
send the proper supply of blood to
the brain if the person is erect,
that blood has to be thrown up hill,
bat if ly ing down it has to be pro-
jected horizontally, which requires
less power, as is apparent.
If a person swallow poison deliber.
ately, or by chance, instead of break
ing out into multitudinous and incC-
herent exclamations, despatch some
one for the doctor. Meanwhile run
to the kitchen, get half glass Of
water in anything that is handy, put
into it a teaspoonful Of salt and as
much mustard, stir it in an instant,
catch firm hold of the PERSONS nose,
the mouth will soon fly open, then
down with the mixture, and in sec
ond or two up will come the poison.
This will answer better in a large
number of cases than any other. If
by this time the physician has not
arrived, make the patient swallow
the white of an egg, followed by a
cup of strong coffee because these
nullify a large number of poisons
than any other accessible articles as
antidotes for any poison that re-
mains in the stomach.
If limb or other part of the
body is severely cut, and the blood
comes out by spirits or jerks, be in a
hurry or the man will be dead in FIVE
minutes there is no time to talk or
send for a physician say nothing,
out with your handkerchief, throw
it around the limb, tie the two ends
together, put stick through them,
twist it around, tighter and tighter,
until the blood ceases to flow. But
stop, it does no good Why? Be-
cause only severed artery throws
out blood in jets, and the arteries
get their blood from the heart hence,
to stop the flow, the remedy must be
applied between the heart and the
wounded spot-in other words, above
the wound. If a vein had been sew
cred, the blood would have flowed in
a regular stream, and on the other
hand, the tie should be applied be
low the wound, or on the other side
of the wound from the heart be-
cause the bloodin the veins flows
towards the heart, and there is no
need of so great hurry.

WHO'S THE Fool ?-Some merchants
went to an Eastern sovereign and eX-
hibited for sale several very fine hor-
ses. The king admired them and
bought them ; he moreover gave the
merchants lac ofrupees to purchase
more horses for him. The king one
day in sportive humor ordered the
vizier to make out list of all the
fools in his dominions. He did so,
and put his Majesty's name at the
head of them. The king asked why.
He replied, Because you entrusted
lac of rupees to men you don't know,
and who will never come back" cay
but suppose they should come back ?"

he is familiar with all the different styles of work
done in any and all Dental establishments in

other Dental operator in the vicinity to do work
the best adapted to the many and different
cases that present themselves Oftentimes to the
Dentist, as he understands the art of making his
own artificial teeth and has facilities for doing
the same. To those requiring under sets of
teeth he would call attention TO his new kind of
work which consists OF porcelain for both plate
and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. 1t is
more durable, more natural in appearance, and
much better adapted to the gum than any other
