! friends had taken their hats to leave the
presence of the Chief Magistrate of the
nation, who had promised, and whose
| promise was by Booth relied upon.
But alas for human promises! Beall
was hung. The President did not keep
his word-did NOS pardon him. Seward,
whose tinkling bell sent bis .betters to
bastiles, said il would not do--that Lin
coins duty to the Republican, party de-
manded the execution of Beall to keep

such blood. -ls. -,, .--
Lincoln said Beall must be parjoned,
for he had promised it.
Seward said he must not be pardoned,
or there would be strange revealmentsI
And 50 the President weakened, with
held his pardon, and poor Beall suffered
for patriotic devotion with his life.
When Booth learned that Lincoln had
lied to him, and not kept his sacred prom
Use, his face turned 10 the pallor of death,
his lips became white, his eyes seemed
ready to burst from their sockets, and he
swore by the Eternal God that he would
kill the man who had lied to him, and
that his own right hand, then raised to
heaven, should avenge the death of his
comrade Apd al did!
Booth called to his counsel but a few
friends, some of whom were in Washing
ton, two of whom were not. He marked
the President for his own aYenging, and
to others was given in charge to Kill Sc

AS we believe, under the directing pow

aVenge the death of Beall. He was the
martyr to private feelings, for he knew
that almost certain death awaited him, but
he cared not for that

HOW TO KEEP COOL.

The Hearth and Home says: ''The in
tensely hot weather of summer is on us,
and persons out of doors are liable to sun
stroke, and if that is not always immi-
nent, other ailments are that an intense
heating of the blood and brain makes
more or less sure.
If the head is kept cool the man is
generally safe; and an experience in the
hay-field that reaches over nearly dozen
summers, before machines were in general
use, leads US to say that bunch of green
grass worn in the hat, moistening it oc-
casi0nally when it gets hot and somewhat
dry, is one of the best preventives to sun
stroke or dizziness, as well as most agree
able arrangem ent for promoting comfort
while at work. A wet cloth is perhaps
as good, but the wisp of moist grass is al
ways at hand, and if appropriated as sug-
gested, will work wonders.
The Herald Of Health for July gives
some directions upon the pertinent pro-
blem of how to keep cool. We quote:
/. The diet should be composed largely
or entirely of fruits, fresh vegetables, and
wheat-meal bread, and other preparations
of wheat and oatmeal. Cornmeal bread
and cakes should be seldom eaten at all,
during hot weather. Avoid all stimulat.
ing or heating articles of food, as meats,
butter, gravies, and greasy food of al
kinds, sugar, mustard, spices, etc. Dc
not eat hot food, and especially avoid eat
ing more than the system requires.
2. Drink nothing but water, and that
only small quantity at time. OF course
this precludes the use of tea, coffee ant
alcoholic drinks.
s. The clothing should be light, Ugh
