An AUTUMN MEMORY.
BY y. G. SHEPHERD.

The leaves of the maple are crimson and
gold,
As here to-day in its shade lie;
And the pearly peaks of the clouds, uprolied,
Loom up like castles within the sky.
Afar in the distance the purple hills
Are wrapped in veil of slender mist.
That over the landscape the wide air fills
With the tint of the tenderest amethyst.
The golden reed on the hillside grows,
Nodding its head to the winds that blow.
And the flame of the CANDY suniiower g lows
In the farm yards down in the vale below.
There the river glides on it's winding way,
By the fields that are crowned with the
Whose broad leaves shine in the sun to-day
Like the flaming banners that gid the
And my thoughts like a tide that leaves the
shore
To wander out toward the open sea,
Turn back TO an autumn gone before
In the golden days that were dear to me.
The NAPLES leaves have the same rich glow,
The same clouds float through the azure
sky,
The same waves flow, and the same winds
blow,
On this autumn day as in years gone by.
I can see no changes save those in me.
Since the time when we fioated down
yonder stream.
Oh. l wish that the past again might be,
Which at present seems but beautiful
dream,
When we fioate6 along on yon rivers breast,
Down past the woods that are flushed
with gold,
Till the sunset burned in the reddenins
And deepened to twilight, purple and
gold,
l. with a hand on each listless oar.
Just guiding our course round each sill

While alone in the stern sat Eleanor
Can you paint me the picture, my artist

With sometimes song on those lips ST
The song you can't paint, l know full

you tell.
l would have you paint we'll the graceful
head.
And the girlsh form in its crimson shawl,
Did you ask me just now if she were dead
No: years bring changes, my friend; that
all.
Adown life's river in daylight and dark,
Through shadow and sunshine, we're
floating now;
But each of us sails in different bark,
With different angels to guide the PROV.

NOVEL TREATMENT-INTERNAL ADMINS
TRATIoN OF VACCINE VIRUS.
In a communication to the kittanning
Free Press DR.. ]. NJ. Taylor calls attention
to an article from the pen of r. Landell,
NJ. D., of Ponte Algre, Brazil, published
in the american JournaZof Medical Science,
of date October, 1857, in which he advo-
Gates the internal administration OF vaccine
virus in the treatment Of smallpox. DR..
Taylor then proceeds:
Being impressed with the idea that the
treatment was rational, determined to
give it trial the first opportunity. On
the 18th of December, 1859, l was called
on to visit child near two years Of age,
laboring under smallpox, the plrstules
being first observed by her parents on the
10th, two days previous to my first VISIT
| gave dose of calomel and rhubarb suf-
ficient to operate moderately upon her
bowels; then after obtaining the sanction
of her parents, put one quarter of a good
sized crust of vaccine virus into sixteen tea
spoonfuls of water, and directed one tea
spoonful to be given every three hours
On the 21st three days after commencing
the remedy, the pustules had a shriveled
appearance, and on the Gath, six days from
my first visit, the pustules were so COM
pletely abated that considered my patient
out of danger and quit visiting her. All

laxative every second day when necessary.
From the number of pustules on this child
(not protected by vaccination | have no
doubt she would have been serious if not
fatal case under any other treatment
Two years after treating the above case l
had an opportunity Of examining her, and
could not find a pit OF . mark on her per-
son.
Since the foregoing case similar treat
ment on three different occasions has been
attended with like satisfactory results, do
not suppose any injurious effect would fol-
low much larger doses, anil by observing
the difference between large and snail
doses in the rapidity of recovery would
soon determine the quantity best adapted
to ordinary cases. l think the remedy
| should be resorted to as soon as possible
in the disease. One person administering
the vaccine virus by my directions assured
| me that where the virus was given in the
fever before the pustules appeared they
never developed.
The only precaution necessary in admin
istering the vaccine virus is to have good
| article, to mix only SO much at once as will
last only one or two days, anil keep it in a
cool place, to prevent it from becoming
putrid and offensive.
Now is the time to test DR.. Landell'

human race alongside of Jenner. would
