An Idyl Of the Period-in two Parts.

"Come right I'M How are you, Fred
Find chair, and have light"
"Well, old boy, recovered yet
From the Maiher's jam last nightp"
"Didn't dance, the Germans old"
"Didn't your had to lead
Awful bore; but where were you ?"
"Sat II out with M0llie Meade;
Jolly little girl she is
Said she didn't care to dance,
ID rather have quiet chat
Then she gave me such a glance;
When you had cleared the room
And captured all the chairs,
Having nowhere else, we two
Took possession Of the stairs
was on the lower step,
Molle Oh the next above;
Gave me her boquet to hold
Asked me TO draw off her glove.
Then, nf course, | squeezed her hand,
Talked about my wasted life,
Said my sole salvation must
Be Il true and gentle wife.
Then, you know, used my eyes
She believed me every word;
Almost said she loved me-.Jove
Such voice l never heard
Gave me some symbolic flower,
Had meaning, oh ! so sweet
Don't know what it is, I'm sure
Must have dropped it in the street.
How l spoonIed and shc--ha hal
Well, know it wasn't right,
But she did believe me so
That kissed her-pass n light"

to Mr. TILToNs position on the SUMNER re-

the subject as to give Mr. Tilton's reply to it,

SLEEP, PAINTING, APoPLExY.-Whe
a man is asleep, his pulse beats and his
lungs play, but he is without sense, and
you can eas IL wake him up.
If a person faints, he too is without
sense, but he has no pulse and does not
breathe. Apoplexy between the two,
the heart beats, the lungs play as in sleep,
and there is nc sense as in fsinting, but
you can't shake the man back to life.
In sleep, the face is natural
In fainting tit, it has the pallor of
death.
In apoplexy, it is swollen, torpid and
fairly livid.
If a man is asleep, let him alone; ma
ture will wake him up as soon as Ire has
sleep enough.
When person taints, all that is needed
is to lay him on the floor, and he will
"come to" in double quick time. He
tainted because the heart missed beat,
tailed for only once to send the proper
amount of blood to the brain. If you
place the patient in horizontal position,
lay him on his back. 1t does not require
much force of the heart 10 send the blood
on level to the head; but, if you set a
man up, the blood has to shoot upward
TO the head, and this requires much more
force; yet in nine cases out of ten, il
person taints and falls to the floor, the
first thing done is to run to him and set
him up, or place him on chair,
In apoplcxy, as there is too much blood
in the head, everyone can see that the posi-
ton is to set man up, and the blood
naturally tends downward; as much So
as water will come out of bottle when
it is turned upside down if the cork is
cut.
If, then, man is scarcely asleep, let
him alone, for his face is natural.
If man has tainted, lay him flat on
his back, for his face is deadly pale.
fla man is apoplectic, set him in q
chair, because his face is turbid, swollen
and livid with excess of blood.

A MErHoDIoAL PRINrER.-The n. Or
leans Picay,.ne tells the story of prin-
ter who, when his fellew-workmen went
out to drink beer during working hours
put in the bank the exact amount he
would have spent if he had gone out to-
drink. He kept this resolution for FIVE
years. He then examined his bank ac@
count and found he had on deposit $52l"
SO. In the five years he had not lost a
day from ill-health. Three out of FIVE of
his fellew-workmen had become drunk
ards, were worthless as workmen, and
were discharged. The water-drinker
then bought out the printing-ofice, went
on enlarging his business, and in twenty
years from the time he began to put bT
his money he was worth 100000. The
story, whether new or old, teaches a les,
son which every young mechanic shouia
lay to heart, sf.
