Thus guilcless and thus meek;
And may thy voice Of win$onc gloc,

Till thou dost seem a cherub bright,

cities and towns of the Pacific Coast, who cu-
tivate this beautiful towering shrub in their
gardens, are not probably aware that it is in
tensely poisonous. correspondent of the Bel
lefontaine (Ohio) Republican, states that a child
in that town was seriously poisoned recently
by eating some small fragments Clipped from an
oleander bush, and only saved by the most siren
nous exertions The predomnating symptoms
of this case were deathly prostration, sunken
eyes, pallor, incessant vomiting, extreme thirst
and severe purging. This plant is used in
France as rat poison. When handled in a
close room by person with an empty stomach,
it produces numbness.-Sarament Union.

it belonged TO him or his neghbor. The neigh

the man who cut it for damages. The case was
committed from court to court; time was lost, and
temper soured, and temper lost; but the case
was finally gained by the prosecutor. The last
