MR.. STANTON AS A MINISTER OF WAR
That Mr.. Stanton was an active, zeal
Gus, and successful war minister no one
will deny. On one memorable occasion
his frmness saved the Western army
from destruction. It was after the bats
tie of Chickamauga, when the army Of
Rosecrans was in great peril. A Cab
met meeting was called at midnight.
The President, Seward, Chase, Stanton,
and Halleck were present Stanton
vehemently urged the immediate REIN
forcement of Rosecrans by troops from
Meade's army. The President and Gen
eral Halleck were not inclined to weak

Grams. Seward and Chase were with

many men could be sent to Rosecrans
in ten days.
Thirty thousand, if all other trans
portation is stopped was the answer.
In five days P asked Stanton.
Thirteen thousand
They must go: Meade can spare

from Meade's army were sent West un-

The WAGES OF LABoR.-Before the
discovery of America, money was so
scarce that the price Of a days work
was fixed by act of the English Parlia-
ment in 1851 at one penny per day and
in 1914 the allowance of the chaplain to
the Scotch bishops (then in prison in
EngIand), was three halfpence per day.
At this time, "a eggs were sold for q
penny, pair of shoes for four pence. q
fat goose for u pence, hen for a PEN
ny, wheat three pence per bushel, and q
fat OK for six shillings and eight pence
So that in those days, days work
would buy hen or two dozen eggs two
days work would buy pair Of shoes,
and fat OK cost eighty days work. On
the whole, human labor bought in the
average about half as much food and
perhaps one fourth as much cloth or
clothing as it now does.
On the whole, we guess 'the good old
times were not worth recalling.
The above facts are given in Adam
Clarke's Commentary on Matt. XXX. 2

Tho Elixir of Youth.

A medical magazine in England an>
nounces a new remedy for the infirmities
Of old age. Thus far it gives q report
Of only one case, but the publication of
this will probably make ether smelling
bottles common among persons of ad
vanced age, particularly if they are also
irritable and cross. The account of it
is as follows:
Sir Frederick Pollock, best known to
his countrymen as the late Chief Baron
of the Exchequer, has long been remark
able for great mental and physical ener-
gy. He is now eighty. six years OF age,
and to the great wonder and joy of his
friends his strength scarcely in any way
fails him. Still some years ago he suf-
fered from the indefinable nervous mai.
aiss which is incident to old age, and
which sometimes makes itself known in
painful spasms more or less connected
with the digestive system. 1t was nee
essary to find some drug that would be
at once stimulant and narcotic in it's ef-
feet, such as tobacco or opium. These
drugs, if taken in moderation, are often
found of great benefit in old age, as
soothers of its nervous troubles but
unfortunately they failed to suit Sir
Frederick Pollock or they did not pro
duce the desired effect. He therefore
tried ether-the best rectified ether
which he inhaled from an ordinary bot
tie applied to one nostril and let us
state, in passing, that the safety Of the
experiment to some extent depends on
the inhalation of the spirit through only
one nostril.
"A few whiffs taken in this way re-
moved spasm and pain. and induced a
general tranquility of the nervous sys>
tenn. Sir Frederick goes on with the in
halations every day, and enjoys in con
sequence magnificent health, The guam
tity of ether which he uses is variable
sometimes it amounts to several ounces
q day : but. how much of this escapes
and how much Of it is absorbed into the
system it would be difficult to estimate.
1t is supposed that but very small quan
titles of ether can enter the system in
such inhalations rs we have described,
since not only does much escape at once
into the air, but also of that which is
actually inhaled large proportion is
again exhaled. Never in any case is so
much of the vspor absorbed as to disturb
consciousness or to cloud the intellect.
Nor is sleep in any way at all compelled,
although by the removal of nervous ir-
ritability it is favored.
sSir Frederick Pollock is, we observe,
able to sleep for as many as eleven
hours out Of the twenty four-but this
includes a regular mid day siesta
Whether the rem edy which be has found
SO happy in its effects on himself will
suit others who may suffer from the ir-
ritability of advancing years is ques-
ti0n in which London medical men are
just now much interested

Suggested by Whittier's Poem
s.In SchOOl.Days.o

Iseem to see the country road
Where stands the school house olden;
Its western panes and ICY caves,
Lit up by sunbeams golden.
The picture of that boy and girl
Within my spirit fingers;
I see her golden, dropping head,
Her tiny, restless fingers -
Her face so full Of grief ana love,
Her brown eyes shy expression,
And hear her fearful, childish voice,
Repeat its sweet confession.
Our poet vet again has touched
The chords Of deepest feeling;
Sweet mem'ries of our childhood come,
Into our spirits stealing.
A priest oil nature, he who tells
Her secrets uttered never;
New Engiand's hills, and Wales, and shores.
Are linked with him forever.
Yet while within our grateful hearts
His noble words ara ringing,
We know, with joy, his daily life.
Il sweetsr than his singing.
And listening 10 his song We feel,
Though few may pass above him,
No heart his triumph can regret,
Whsn al 20 truly love him.

Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered .
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.

relieved to hear of singular character,
in New Jersey, who never can be mar-
ried often enough. although it is always
to the same woman. Once q year, this
perennial bridegroom sends for the par
son and has the nuptial knot tied over
again He buys q fine new bridal dress
for the wife Of his bosom, without gard
to expense. and has a marriage table
furnished forth for his friends. We IAN
only account for this amiable eccentric
ity by supposing that the good man
lives in perpetual apprehension of being
divorced without knowing it, fate
which has, through kindness of the
courts of law, overtaken more than one
careless and unsuspicious spouse. If
he errs, it is creditably on the side of
precaution; and we can but wish him
many happy returns of the day.'-[N.

Sure Ireland's sons will ne'er forget the
Blood that they have shed.
You may take the Shamrock from your hat
And cast it on the sod:

Though under foot it's trod.

And when the leaves in summer time
Their verdue dare not show,
Then will change the color
