nor felt their hearts beat with "stout
Cortcz," when he stood
"5ent upon peak in Darien."
They have never lost their way in tho
enchanted gardens Of Ariosto,n nor sound
ed the depths with Dante, nor scared
with the sweet singers Of Israel. For
them Shakespeare neither lived nor
wrote. They have never shed tear
over the "Heir of Rcdclihe" or little
Nell, nor reached hand to Christian
across the Slough Of Despond; it is pos
sible that they may never have heard
of the purse Of Fortunatus, Of Cinder-
elias slipper, Of the Arabian Nights,
exhaling an odor of frankincense and
myrrh All the pleasant paths of liter
ature are untroddcn by their feet; its
mountain-tops are hidden in perpetual
fogs and clouds. We do not dispute
but that there are other sources than
books from which one may learn, the
fiction of daily life teaches something
to the saddest clod; the passers in the
street, the clashing Of temperaments in
household, the haggling in the mar
ket place, speak of the humblest and
most uninstructed intellect; but this
special branch of education and amuse-
ment is beyond their reach. Year
after year the sap circulates, the foliage
thickens, the fruit ripeus, while only
some chance windfall accrues to their
share; only when the words of the wise
have become commonplaces of every
day talk, belonging to the atmosphere
of the time, do the great unlcttered
inherit them.
Perhaps from being long accustomed
to the high privilege Of reading our
selves-since abuses are sometimes the
.offshoots of long-established privileges
1T has escaped us that that there is a
tax upon luxuries; that we owe duty
to the less favored among us; that
knowledge is not exclusively our own,
something to be boarded up like geld,
something to be spent for our own
glory, to circulate among select few,
to bcqueath to our heirs; but must be
passed ON from mind to mind, increas.
ing as it goes. Nothing of it is to be
kept in reserve, or squandered for pri-
vate enjoyment or profit.
When we have clothed the naked,
fed the hungry, and sheltered the
houseless, do we not fatter ourselves
that we have satisfied the demands of
charity? But the vacant, uninformed
mind suffers more than flesh and blood,
works more mischief than the hungry
stomach, votes the wrong ticket, de-
stroys the statue of Minerva, plumbers
its friends. How much that is mis-
chievous in any community MAY be at
tributea to ignorance achieving its
blind reyepges,

ElkEE.W WILL.

By MARY KYLE DALLAS.
Never say Fate is relentless,
Never say man hath no power
Der the current of the river,
Sweeping dcathward hour by hour;
God hath given each one living
Of FreeWill some little dover.
Often vain the hoping, planning,
Dreaming, toiling Of our lives;
Each may lose the tempting portion,
Love Of gold, Cor which he strives;
Fades each fair flower in our gardens,
Drips the honey from our hives.
Bat whatever be our sorrow,
And whatever he our blight,
Meier did God refuse the power
To any man of doing right;
1t has never been impossible
To be upright in His sight.
Each commitment that is written
We may ksep unbrokcn still;
Living purely, speaking truly,
Doing no one any i'll
In the choice 'twixt good and evil,
Naught can rob us Of Free.Will.

carpet, strewn all over with little green
leaflets and wood brown sprays Of
moss.
"Lolly will like the pattern" )" thought
Hugh, "because it's like something
real. How pleased she will be! And
the hearth-rug is to match the carpet,
and the new Nottingham curtains will
frcshen up the windows, and I'll have
both the easements filled with tea-roses
and gcraniums, for winter is coming on,
and she can't get any more Of those
littls posy-pots in the woods. I'm sor.
ryy now that I used to laugh at them
When the first November snow fakes
eddicd softly through the air, Hugh
took his last triumphant look at the
cheerful room, when the roses and
violets made June-like scent, and the
fire cracked, and the new carpet glist-
ened in its cheerful colors.
''Have tea all ready in your best
style Maranda," he said to the new
"hired girl, % ''for I shall bring your
mistress home in just an hour"
And Maranda, a plump, thriving
"daughter of the SOIL" promised that
call should be rig ght."
''He must think deal of her, to be
sure," said Maranda to herself. II
wonder if she really is SO very pref
ty."
"The train isn't in yet, suppose"
said Hugh, glancing round, as he tied
old Dobbin to the post, back of the de-
pot fence.
The station master shook his head.
"No; but here's telegram for you,
Mr.. Dymond-came half an hour
ago."
With trembling fngures Hugh Dy-
mond broke open the seal. Perhaps
Laura was not coming until the NOR
row--pcrhaps--
Come to Seagle at oncc," it read.
"Your wife died this morning at four
O'Clock"
The strip Of senseless, cruel paper fell
from the bereaved husbands hand;
he staggered back against the wainscot-
ed wall, with a low cry, like that Of one
mortal pain. Lolly dead!-Lolly gone
from him for ever!-the little loving,
dew-eycd creature, whom he had spo-
ken to so cruelty, many and many a
time! And he had resolved to be SO
different for the future-to cherish her
so tenderly. Lolly dead! Surely, sure
ly there must be some mistake; he could
not believe it.
And then, like the rush of some
damp scpulchral wind across his heart,
came the awful conviction that it was
but too true. The bright new carpet,
with the leaves and the moss sprays,
had come too late-the flowers would
bloom in the easements all in vain!
It was too late now-too late! And
so began and ended the sweetest idyl in
all Hugh Dymond's life. The carpet is
rolled up on the garret floor, the flowers
are dead and gone, and the rea leaves
of score of autumns have woven their
jewelled crown over Laura's grave; but
the sharp, envenomed sting Of remorse
has not gone out Of Hugh's heart yet
no, nor ever viii.

rom the Nat Iulrt and Ind Protector

From the Nat. Indt. and Ind Protector.
Cresco, Iowa, April 20, 1872.
Dr. Paine, Dear Sir:-Permit me to
intrude upon your notice, the report Of
a very peculiar case of Hemoptysis oc-
curing in a young lady aged q years,
"a Miss Martha Maxfeld of Leroy,
Mimi, unmarried, daughter of farm
er, receiving an injury at eleven years
of age, which fractured the sixth rib Of
the right side. Tumors formed Of con-
siderable size on the surface over the
seat of the injury, which suppurated
and discharged for several months, at
the end of year and Il half after the
injury was received, spicula OF bone
one and half inches long and t in.,
wide in the centre, tapering to either
end, came from the abcess. From the
appearance OF the piece it was detached
from the superior and interior surface
of the rib.
The wound healed soon after the e.
cape Of the spicula of bone, and the tu-
mors disappeared.
Hemoptysis has occurred at irregular
intervals since date Of the injury, vary
ing from six months to two years. The
hemorrhage was so severe and detiEita-
ting as to keep the patient confined to
her bed from two to four weeks at each
attack.
On December Oath 1871 the heuor-
rhage from the lungs commenced and
recurred almost daily up to March "a,
1872. At times with intervals Of three
or four days and again the intervals
would be from few minutes to as many
hours in length, was called in council
with attending physician on February
p, who had attended very closely to
the case from the time of the first at
tack, and had exhausted the materiia
medica of its styptics, to find a reme-
dy that would control the food gates
of the pulmonary organs; but all to no
purpose. The only safety valve used
was the ligature which doubtless saved
her life at different times. Of the
remedial agents used the acetate Of
lead and the favorite remedy of DR..
King of Cincinnati to wit: acidum
sulph, tevabinth and alcohol proved
the best.
There was no vicarious mcnstration
at any time; no pulmonary aporiexy,no
symptoms of assesses in the lungs, the
respitory murmer being good through
out those organs. The important
question in the case was, "uhat caused
the homorrhage p
The only conclusion we could arrive
at was, that spicula of bone had be-
come detached from the fractured rib
and penetrated the lung, aud by the
constant action of the organ, is working
its way through the tissues by slow and
regular advances.
The expectorated blood has the florid
appearance of the purely arterial. The
patient had become reduced in
strength to that Of an infant, and at
times seemed to be in the very jaws of
death, gasping her last; but would raj
ly, only to pass the ordeal again; until
March "a, when it ceased entirely, and
she is improving finely. Appetite good,
and the bowels regular at all times, with
the exception of severe diarrhna af-
ter the hemorrhage ceased of several
days duration.
l have never seen, heard or read Of
a similar case, and would like your
opinion.
Yours Respectfully,
H. &. PRICE, NJ. D.

When one is always striving to please
self, there is often dearth of ways and

please others, and what a variety of
