Sensation. Of strychnine Poisoning.

A man in Harrisburg recently at
tempted to commit suicide by taking
a grain Of strychnine. The skill of
the physician having saved his life,
he narrates his experience for the
benefit Of science. He says:
"In the course of five minutes, l
began to feel slight cramps in the
calves Of my legs. The cramps in
creased in intensity and extended
to the feet and thighs, causing the
most intense pain. attempted to
rise from my chair, but fell to the
floor, with commissions in the lower
extremities. Unsuccessful attempts
were made to bathe my feet in hot
water, each effort to raise me
bringing on violent paroxysm, in
the last one of which | thought my
jaws had become unhinged. was
now perfectly paralyzed from the
hips down, and suffering the most
excruciating pains, which began to
extend upward; the muscles OF the
shoulders and neck soon being con-
siderably convulsed, the forearms
still beng free from pain.
81 now prepared for the final
struggle, which l knew must be
near at hand, as had become rigid
from the neck down, save the fore
arms. The convulsions of the mus
cles were becoming fearful, and the
torture awful to endure. My hands
were drawn into my sides, with the
fingers drawn apart and slightly
bowed, and the jaws became rigid.
| felt myself raised as if by some
mighty power, and fixed immova-
bly,, with only my feet and head
touching anything. ! became un-
conscious Of everything except my
own agony, which was now beyond
all description. / could feel my
heart tluttcring, and my brain beat
ing and throbbing with an irregular
motion, as though at every beat it
would burst from its confinement
Every joint was locked and every
drop of blood seemed s.agnated. |
remember thinking it could not be
long thus, when | must have lost
consciousness.
81 remember nothing more until
| felt sensation Of relief, as though
the garments Of death, which had
been drawn over me, were now be-
ing drawn back. Those terrible
cramps seemed descending toward
my lower limbs. A feeling of relief
stole over me, and ! began to be
again conscious.
"From that time | resumed con-
sciousness, when | was entirely free
from cramp, with the exception Of
a little in the feet. l had but one
attack of cramp afterwards, which
was Immediately relieved by dose
administered by my wife-the doc
tor having left for a short time
and when he returned / felt that
the poison was completely neutra-
lized."

THE DIFFICULTY OF COMMA
r1oN.-Why are things not improv-
ed? Why are not follies swiftly re-
moved? You convince an individual
any number ofindividuals-of the
foolishness ola folly; but you can
not bring these convinced people to
act in concert. Combination is very
difficult; and social improvements
must always be very hard to make
in large communities. 1t is not
difficult to imagine a community
every individual member Of which
shall be thoroughly convinced Of
the foolishness of some folly which
he, or she, commits daily. Nay,
more; each member Of this commu-
nifty shall know that every other
member of the community thinks
as he does about the whole matter.
And yet the folly shall continue to
be rampant for two or three genera
tions.-Arthur Helps.

THREE KISSES OF FAREWELL.


rThese exquisite verses are from one of 'sEsth
Winn's Love-Letters" in iSc'abaer's for DeccI
ber.l
Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know
when we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung,
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacramento
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often;
We shall again,
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are SO much colder
Than eye and hand.
kiss thee dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before 1t comes
For our loves sake!
The second kiss. my darling,
Is full ofjoy's sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always;
We always will.
We shall reach until we feel each other,
Past all of lime and space;
We shall listen till we reach each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
kiss thee, darliug, for all joy
Which We shall know!
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
NV love--I cannot see
Through my tears, us remember
What ii may be.
We may die and never see each other,
Die with no time TO give
ANY sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they will not see
Who our parting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling, seals
The seal of death!

Blackberry Wine.

The Blackberry Eeason will soon be up
en- US, and we would urge u readers to
make the most Of it. This delicious fruit
is not the less valuable, in~trinsically, be
cause it grows Spontaneously all over our
land. and may DO hal in profusion for the
picking. Apart from the delicious pies.
cordials, and marmalades, it yields a wine
with proper manipulation. superior to the
best claret that can lie bought in eur mar
ket. and valuable for its medicinal prop
critics. The following IS said to be an ex-
cellent receipt for the manufacture of SUI
perior wines from ~bllckberries: Measure
your berries and br1Ise them. to every
gallon adding one quart Of boiling water.
Let the mixture stand twenty four ho-rs,
stirring occasionally: then strain off the
liquor into a cask. to every gallon adding
two pounds of sugar; cork tight, and let
stand till October, and you viii E@ve wine
ready for use, without any further strain
ing or boiling, that will make lips smack
as they never smacked under similar in
fuences before.

As the season foi. preparing 0 for
market is almost at band, it is important
that grower should give attention to the
matter of caring for their wool, in order
that IL should command the highest mar
ket price. All have noticed that those
farmers who wash their wool the cleanest
and put it up the nestest have commanded
the best prices for several years past
There is a growing disposition on the part
of the manufactures to discriminate In re-
gard to the condition as well as the quail
ty of wool, and this feeling is likely to
have an important bearing upon the rates
this season. There is also another reason
why farmers should he more careful in
getting up their clips. For several years
Washington County has been rapidly los
ing its position as a Grst7class wool-growing
district. This is in Consequence of The
disposition to breed heavy, greasy sheep,
and negligence in washing. This condi-
tion of things has materially reduced. the
average prices of our wool, and VIII con-
tinue 10 10 50 without il IS speedily cor
Fected. This is a guestionin which grow
ers are mutually interested. as by inprov-
ing or lowering the general character Of
their woods they car elevate or depress
prices. This Affects all, not only those
that neglect their v5ols. but also those
that are more careful. Washington
County WOol-erowers. if they would re-
gain the high character for that staple that
they had years ago, must adopt . better
mode Of preparing their clips. Our
country produces as good wool as any 9TH
or region, and if Eve do not get as good
prices it is the fault of the growers them

the vines do not root in the ground as they
