 ammonia to be a perfect antidote for the

His comrades becoming alarmed sent for medical assistance, ba. by the time it ar rived the man was comatose, and his lower extremities paralzed Galyanism and other usual remedies were applied, but without eiec1, the poison having obtained ''-'eo strong hold on the system to yield rS any treatment employed.

A Winter FoneraI.

1 To Bury friend in winter is kind of trial that connects strange inward emo tions of feelings which it is difficult to mas ter. We have cleared away the snow, and hewn a passage down through the solid pave ment of the frost, and then in that inhos- pitable place we come to bury our depar- ted; be it child, or wife, or mother, or much loved friend, our heart shudders in cos- vulsive chill at the forlorn last offices we are come to perform While our feeling is protesting, the solemnity, so called, goes en, and before we have gotten our own consent the tribute of respect is ended. The frozed chips of earth, loosened again by blows, are piled on the loved ones rest, and we turn to go. Will it storm to night? The wind, alasl is bowling eyen now in the trees, and the sleeting has al ready begun o God, it shall not be. We were going to be fools, we see, but now the spell is broken. UT departed is not in that grave and scorn to say our farewell over it. Let the snows fall heavy if they will, and the winds rage pitiless and wild above, ours it shall be to thank thee, Father, Lord of the warmer cline, that our dead one lives with thee. Prac- tically, almost nothing will more surely compel faith in immortality, even if one chances to be unrelieved, than to bury friend in winter. And, as matter of fact, it is not in the fresh, unbursting life of the spring, or in any other softer season of the year, that we think of i'm mortality with half the attention that we do at winter funerals We ask it instinc- lively, as we do fire for the cold.

A British View of American
 Finance. EroYn tba I,ondon Times l

British finance has labored to releiye and almost entirely to exempt industry and material. In the United States they have to endure even more thsn their equal share of taxation. The obvious remedy IS to pre- .oeed on the British model as far as possl- ble. for it is just possible there may be circunastances rendering imitation exceed ingly diffsealt. However, a good deal may be done in this direction. The minute ness with which American finance strikes at all the Ingredients necessary Tn work and manufacture produce mischiefs cut ot proportion to the gain It leads to adul- terations, bad substitutes, bad workman
 ship, and to the introduction of the re- fuse of tho European markets. An ad valorem duty on drugs, fer example, is an encourageme mt to the cheapest and worst article which Is a serious matter when life and health are in question. The con- trabantl trade is so great that the market is fed with smuggled goods and the GUS
 tom houses are corruptcd-.it is impossi- ble to say how high in the service. The tariff is breaking down as a source of rev. enue and the bulk of the taxes cannot be raised. The objects are a return to gold currency, the establishments of credit in order to the conversion of tbe debt to a lower rate of interest, and such a cheap ening of material and relieving of indus try as shall enable the American manufac- turer to compete with the foreign in the market of the world. These ends are re- mote for the present, hardly even in view but till they are attained America cannot feel that she has the full command of her own resources, or that she can do anything which threatens an addition to burdens and perpexities already beyond endurance. What, then, Is the remedy? It is to enable American industry to help itself, by put ting It, as much as possible, on an equal ity with foreign. This can only be done by giving it an abundant and cheap sup ply of raw material of articles in the ear. ly stages of manufacture and of every. thing which may be necessary to man. nfacture. Within short time we have struck from the tariff many hundreds oi articles the taxation of which led to more trouble and evasion than they were worth
 The process was hardly logical, for in strict justice small quantities may as we'll be tax cd as large But finance is not matter of justice so much as of convenience or ol necessity, and it can at least afford to spare whatever itpleases. The Americans must give up their pleasing dream, or rather their fantastic fiction, of perfect financial equality. They cannot tax everybody and everything equally. if they will sub init to tax what they can by rougher rules than those of abstract justice, they will find themselves more just in the end.

. Nearer let me come Let the angels whisper ~
 In my ear, GethsemaneN An, my baffled heart has lasted - Till it faints with hungry vain; Yet if Thou will feed me, Savior, All my loss l count as gain. Humbly let me kncel before Thee, With affection cruciied, With my spirit, contrite. broken, Healed of all it's human pride. Keep my tongue from evil speaking, Keep my ears from foolish praise, Leep my heart from Satan's whispers, Keep my feet in wisdom's ways. Thou, who seest all my weakness, Thou, who kpowest l am dust. Pity me, and keep my treasures All untouched by .'Moth and rust. When thou vert ahungered Savior, Satan whispered in thy ear; Now unto my human weakness
 He Is standing very near. And when in the cold, blind darkness, Cries my hungry heart for bread, Close the tempter drawn unto me- Offers wayside stones instead. Kingdoms of the world he shows me, Fame, and wealth, and human pride, Tempts me to forget the anguish Of the holy crucifed. An, the Kingdoms spread before me. Royal castles in the air, Cleaning turrets full of grandeur. Hidden chambers of despair. Lead me. Father, for stumble, Satan's hand is very near, And q broken reed he offers While he whispers in my ear. Bids me know Thou art above me, Far beyond my human cry; Taunts me with my desolation;
 Bids me curse Thee, Lord, and die. Close and closer, oh my Savior, '.ln the shadow of Thy wing Let my wearicd spirit nestle
 With the peace that faith can bring.
