Baby Paul.

Baby Paul.
BYMns. BISHOP THOMPSON.
Up in The early morning,
just at the peep of day,
Driving the sleep from my eyc-lids,
Pulling tho sheets away,
Pinching my cheeks and my forehead,
With his white fingers small,
This is my brght-vyed darling,
This is my Baby Paul.
Down on the floor in tho parlor,
Creeping with laugh and shout,
Or, ont in the kitchen and pantry,
Tossing the things about;
Rattlipg the pans aud the kettles,
Scratching the table and wall.
This is my rougi-h darling.
This is my Baby Paul.
Riding on papa's shoulder.
Trotting on grandpa's knee,
Pulling his hair and whiskers,
Laughing in widest glce;
Reaching for grand-mH's knitting,
Snatching her thimble and ball,
This i, our household idol,
This is our Baby Paul.
Playing bo-peep with his brother,
Kissing the little girls,
RompiDg With aunt and uncles,
Clutching his sisters curlr;
Teasing old puss from her slumbera,
Patteiing Ger porch and hall,
This is our bonny wee darling,
This is my Baby Paul.
Nesting up cloee to my bosom,
Layii 6 his cheek to mne,
Covering my mouth with his kisses,
Sweeter than golden wine,
FlingiDg his white arms about me-
Soft as tho snow flakes fall,
This is my cherished darling,
This is my Baby Paul.
Fair is his face as the lilies,
Black are his eyes as the crows,
Sweet is his voice as the robins,
Red are his lips as the rose;
Bright is his suiilcs as tho sun-beams,
Beaming whenc'er call,
This is my beautiful darling,
This ID my Baby Paul.
Dearer, thousend times drarcr,
The wealth in my darling hold,
Than all this earth's giittering treasure,
It's glory, and honoIs, and gold;
II these at my feet were now lying,
I'd gladly renounce them all,
For tho sake OF my bright-eyed darling,
My dear little Baby aul.

Carbolic Acid in Surgery.
BY G. Z. CRAGIN.

Sometime in the month of August Of the
present year member of the Oneida Com
munity, thirty-eght years of age, while
trying to control fractions horse which
he was driving, received severe kick on
the left leg, just below the knee. The
blow was hard one, the steel cork cutting
deep and ragged cash an inch long, be-
sides splintering the edge of the tbia, and
severely brusing the surrounding tissues.
When first called we found the patient cold
and faint with pain and loss of blood. A
careful examination soon demonstrated be-
You'd doubt that the joint had been open
ed the flow of synoyial fluid from tho
wound clearly indicating the true state of
the case. Alter ascertaning the real eX-
tent of the injury, we decidedly TO adopt Lis
ter's Antiseptic treatment by carbolic acid,
and it has proved so completely successful
that we venture to give it III detail.
The carbolic acid used was solution of
one part pure acid with 80 parts of water.
The wound was filled with this solution
both by pouring it in and by means of a
syringe-repeated till we were sure that
every part of the wound was thoroughly
saturated with the acid. The first seiisa-
ton to the patient was not, OF course, the
most agreeable, as the acid bit and stung
the raw flesh, but within ten minutes he
was nearly free from pain, aud told us we
might do what we liked.
We next prepared some carbolic putty,
by mixing four parts boiled linseed oil, and
one of pure acid, and making putty or
thick paste by means of common whiting.
This putty was then spread on tln-foil, such
as is used in sealing bottles of fruit. The
putty should be laid one quarter of an inch
thick, and cover and overlap every part OF
the wound. A small piece Of foil dipped
in the acid was placed directly on the
wound, and the putty plaster laid on over
the whole. Strips of adhesive plaster were
then applied holding everything in place,
and common roll bandage saturated with
the acid over all. This dressing was allowed
to remain for three days and then changed.
The wound was found to be III healthy
condition, and without any offensive smell.
Fresh putty and tin-foil were applied every
other day for three weeks, the wound
gradually healing from the bottom without
a single bad symptom, and with but very
little discharge.
Within three weeks from the day he re-
ceived the injury, the patient was walking
without difficulty to and from his work, a
distance of one-fourth of mile. The car
bolic dressing was kept on till the cure was
complete, the size and amount being gradu-
ally diminished.
This method of treating wounds, alb
scesses, and sores of all kinds, was first
introduced into England by Professor Lis
ter, who began his experiments at the
Glasgow Inlirmary in 1864. His papers on
the subject in BraHhaVaite's Retrospect give
some astonishing cases of recovery from
severe injuries when the antiseptic treat
ment was thoroughly applied. Oneida Cir
