A Romance.

CHAPTER I.--She stood beside the
altar, with . wreath of orange buds
upon her hea4i-upon her back the
richest kinds of duds.
Her love stood beside her, with
white kids and dicky clean Tho last
was twenty.one years old, the first
was seventeen.
The parsons job was over, every
one had kissed the bride and wished
the young pair happiness, and laughed
and danced and cried.
The festive scene was ended, the
last word had been said, the happy
maid had simmered down. the last
guest had fed.
CHAPTER II.-Shs stood beside the
wash tub with her red hands in the
suds, while at her slip shod feet there
lay pile of dirty duds.
Her husband stood bsside her the
crossest man alive, the last was twen-
ty-nine years old, the first was twenty.

The heavy wash was over, aud the
clothes hung out to dry, and Tom had
stuck his finger in the dirty baby's
eye; Tom had been spanked, and
supper made upon crust Of bread
and the happy wife and husband
went grumbling Off to bed.

entered cotton factory as .'piecer. T"
He was employed from six O'Clock in
the morning till eight At night. His
parents were very poor, and he well
knew that his must be boyhood oi
very hard labor. But then aud there,
in that buzzing factory. he resolved
that he would obtain an education and
would become an intelligent and .
useful man. With his very first week .
wages he purchased . 'Ruddiman's Ru.
diments of Latin" He then entered
an evening school that met between
the hours Of eight and ten. He paid
the expenses Of his instruction out Of
his own hard earnings. At the age of
sixteen he could read Virgil and
Horace as readily ~ the pupils Of the
English grammar schools.
He next began . course Of self-in-
struction. He had been advanced in
the factory from u ''piecer" to the
spinning-jenny. He brought his
books to the factory, and placing one
Of them on the Jenny" with the
lesson open before him, he divided
his attention between the running of
the spindles aud rudiments of knowl-
edge. He now began to aspire to
become preacher and missionary
and to devote his life in some self
sacrificing way to the good of man.
kind. He entered Glasgow University.
He knew that he must work his way,
but he also knew the power Of resolu-
tion, and he was willing to make
almost any sacrifice to gain the end.
He worked at cOtton-spinning in the
summer, lived frugally. and applied
his savings to his college studies in
the winter. He completed the allotted
course and at the close was able
triumphantly to say: "Ineoer had a
Jdrthing that I did not earn"
That boy was DR.. David Livingstone,
. name now justly celebrated through
out the world.
Perhaps you will say that this boy
lost the happiness Of youth and that
his soul was stranger to enjoyment.
This, however, was far from being the
case. ITO be employed is to be
happy" There came an inward
satisfaction with the struggle tina:

this: II would not live my life over

toll, / cannot but feel thankful that it
formed such a material part Of my
early education and. were 1t possible,
l should like to begin life over again
In the same lowly way and to pass
through the same hardy training."
The world is full Of boys whose cir
cumstances in life are circumscribed,
but in whose secret hearts are the
noblest aspirations for success. For
such, examples like Livingstone have
. hAlpful lesson. Many praiseworthy
things have been said of this good man
whom all the world loves, but perhaps
nothing has been said Of him more

brance than the remark which he, in

HYDRopHoBIA.
Something to Cut Out and Keep,

SOmetnlng 10 Cut Out ana Keep.
A correspondent Of the Detroit 7ri-
bane gives an account Of the treatment
pursued in the recent case of HYDRO
phobia at Flint, Michigan. The
subject of 80 mnch discussion, Mr..
Burt True. was bit by rabid bog last
May. The dog had bitten him in the
centre Of the right hand. Being in
the country at the time, 1t was some
twelve hours before he reached Q
surgeon, who cauterized the wound
with nitrate Of silver. The wound
healed and remained SO until it became
irritable and broke out again. Soon
the first marked symptoms Of hydro
phobia showed themselves, convul-
sions, "barking like dog" frothing
at the mouth, and making strenuous
exertions to bite every thing that
came near. During the commissions
the patient would seize the pillows
from his bed in his teeth, and shake
and rend them with all the ferocity of
al angry dog.
An intense dread of water also ex-
hibited itself, the sight Of which threw
him into the most terrible commissions,
at these times requiring the united
strength Of five men to keep him under
subjection in fact, every symptom of

disease. Having had case similar
seven or eight years since, where the

the patient under the same treatment

be to others who suffer from this dis
ease, we here give az follows: The
injection under the skin Of large doses
of morphine, and the administration
of large doses of castor, which is .
powerful anti-spasmodic. About one
grain Of the sulphate of morphine was
injected under the skin once In four
hours, and half = drachm of the
powdered castor, mixed with syrup,
given internally.
The effect was to produce sleep in
about half an hour, which lasted about
an hour aud half. until nine o'clock
on Sunday morning. when the last
commissions occurred, after which he

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The great names in art, science, and
literature, and the most esteemed re-
formers and benefactors of mankind,
have. for the most part arisen from
the ranks Of the poor. They practiced
heroic self-denial in youth, and
mounted the ladder to intelligence
and position, step by step. Ritten
house studied arithmetic in the fields,
and calculated eclipses on bis plow
handle.
Ferguson studied astronomy while
watching his fiocks by night; Cobbett
learned grammer by the light of the
campfire; and the learned Professor
Alexander Murray taught himself to
write by making letters on pieces Of
board with burnt stick. Each OF
these in his day excelled those who
had had every advantage, and left be-
hind name that will outlive the mere
titles Of rank and worldly distinction.
When Samuel Newell, the mission.

The size of the freshman class is ex-
traordinary. Moreover, they are in
scholarship considerably In advance Of
the standard Of any preceding fresh

Of the preparatory department and
the efforts Of trustees and faculty to

isjustly assumed that the Agricul-
tural College cannot do the work Of
common schools. We think that the
only limit to number Of students at

In the lack Of room. The college
