of another to retain what you have made.
Woe betide the teacher, in the higher
work, or by neglect, suffers it to fall into
decay. You could then find no consolation
for your labor of love, and all society would
stand amazed at the man, who could suf-
fer or intiict such a stupendous calamity
upon his country. Remembering that we

Open the gate, O Land of Ancient Story,
TO thy Sisters greeting;
They have waited long to look at thine
inner glory:
Come forth to the meeting.
Open to lis the traditions of former days
That thy wise men held;
Let us look back from our ever-changing
ways
To thy works of Ed.
''Come." says Albion, girtling her armor
(Great Isle of the Sea,
Over whose children the bright sun never
goes DOWN.
''Smile first on me -
g Come to me, " says sunny featured France,
Across the waters:
''Let thy children's almond eyes first glance
Onmy sons daughters.
And the Monarch of the North, and each
distant land,
Seeing the stir
OF the ancient Chinese Empire, stretch
forth the hand,
And call to her.
But the youngest Of them all, she too has
heard,
With beating heart;
She too looks longing, yet utters not
word,
Sitting apart.
Slow she ariscs-the Celestial Land
At her Sisters call:
With timid mien she stretches forth her
hand
To the Youngest of ALL
The East and the West are met. The
word is spoken:
China is risen,
The ancient wall that kept her SO long is
broken;
She steps from her prison.
She looks with awe on the changes Time
has wrought
Old forms ocrpast.
The last of the nations first unto Liberty
brought:
And the FIRST is Last
Fling wide thy gates, o Land of Ancient
Story!
And it may be
Thou shalt behold the dawn of a brighter
glory
Break over thee.
When the light of Freedom, flashing from
shore to shore,
On thy soil shall burst,
1t may be the First shall become the Last
once more,
And the Last be First

saints of modern authenticity, i. e.,-the
poor dupes of the Arch President (so-called)
Brigham Young. The whole party seemed
to be controlled by one living spirit-not
Old HIckory-but jackson the younger and
more vigorous. We would have been de-
lighted to have had the whole party spend
day III Omaha but to Eastern, as well as
Western men, time is money; and away
they glide, drawn by two famous iron
horses, for which the L. p. Co. are bound
to excel for fleetness as we'll as bottom
We predict the excursionists will bear tes-
tlmony, on their return, that the Union
Pacific is one of the best roads, with the
best set of officers, the most accommodate
ing conductors and careful engineers, that
they have had the pleasure of coming in
contact with during their trip. When we
cautioned the parties to look out for the
snow-clad mountains as well as snow-cov-
cred prairies, they seemed to think we were
testing, but by this time they are convinced
by force of circumstances-24 hours run
from Omaha produces quite a change in the
temperature, and yet withal it is not very
uncomfortable-the air is so dry.
Within few days we have had the plea
sure to meet with one of Cecil's sons, now
a citizen of Philadelphia by adoption, Mr..
Frank Cummings, son of Esquire Cum
mngs, of the Sth District, who distinguish
ed himself during the war by his undaunted
bravery and universal good department., as
well as Mr.. Hammond, long most accom-
plished and gentlemanly conductor on the
Annapolis and Elk Ridge Railroad They
are both enrolled among the lists of T. S.
mail agents from Omaha to Promontory,
with a fair prospect of an extention of the
circuit erelong to Sacramento, and thence
to San Francisco. We wish them good
speed, which we have no doubt they will
realize, the first voyage through to the
Platte Valley. These gentlemen will receive
the right hand Of fellowship from the agents
already on the road, as well as the special
agents who we find to be men of the first
water.

A Gentle Word.
A gentle word is never lost:

A gentle word is never lost;
Oh. never then refuse one;
1t cheers the heart when sorrow-tost.
And lulls the cares that bruise one.
1t scatters sunshine DER our way,
1t turns our thorns to roses;
1t changes dreary night to day,
And hope and peace discloses.
A gentle word is never lost
The fallen brother needs it;
How easy said, how small the cost,
What joy and comfort speeds it.
Then drive the shadow from thy brow,
A smile can well replace it;
Our voice is music when we speak
With gentle words to grace it.

Before the Doctor Comes.

In case of sudden attack of disease
it is we'll to know what to do, or avoid
doing to the sufferer during those anx-
ious moments before the doctor comes.
Specific directions can be given for par
ticular cases, there is this general rule
applicable to all: "Don'tgo to the med
icine chest, il you have the misfortune
tc possess one. More maladies are to be
found in it than remedies, and it is an
old axiom that in those houses where
most drugs are used, the greatest num-
ber of diseases prevail"
There are, no wever. certain things
which can be done by unprofessional
persons even for the relief of most dis.
eases, provided that they will take the
trouble to inform themselves of hat is
proper to do. This information indeed,
it is the duty OF every one to acquire, for
upon its completeness and proper ap-
plication may depend the lives of thou
sands. There are few diseases, if any,
which require active interference, and
the main thing to learn is how to alb
stain judiclously from it. There Is an
almost irresisti BILE tendency to force
some disagreeable stuff or other down
the throat of sick person. No drug
of any kind unless its action is thor
oughly understood and the occasion for
its use apparent, should ever be given by
any other than the doctor. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that medicines are es-
sentially benificent In their operation,
or, II not positively beneficial are inno-
cent. If drugs do no good they are sure
to do good deal of harm, and physi-
clans of the wlsest experience are the
most dlstrustful Of them. AS ageneral
rule, then, in case of a sudden attack
of disease, whatever it may be, don't
look to the medicine chest for relief.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1869-04-30

The main object of on-professional
person should be, as in fact it must be
of the professional, to facilitate the sat.
isfaction OF the apparent wants of the
sufferer from disease. IF there is evident
thirst give him drink; If gasping for
air let him have it; il there is a sensa-
tion of heat, apply cold; and If cold,
supply warmth. 1t is not always more
prudent to act in accordance with the in i.
stinctive desire of the patient than the
acquired opinions of the attendant. Ma
ture is surcr guide than art.
There is no greater mistake than the
prevalent idea that when we have a
sick person we must always be doing.
A great deal of mischief arises from
this benevolent but harmless diligence.
A person falls down in swoon, and
we for sooth, in our well-intended but
fatal ignorance, murder him by putting
and keeping him on his legs. Another
lies PROSTATE from exhaustion, and
while provident nature tries TO restore
him with repose, we torture him to
death by an affectionate but worrying
solicitude.
In case of sudden attack of disease
the first thing to do is, of course, to re-
move any apparent cause of it. The
next is to place the patient under those
circumstances known to be favorable to
the comfort, convenience, and health Of
all people, well or ill. Unloose every
frightened garment, lay the sufferer up
on bed or sofa, where the limbs can
be sire tched at perfect ease, and after
Supplying the immediate and apparent
want, whether of air, water, heat or
cold, let him alone until the doctor
comes. .-Harper's Bazar.
