Backbone

When yon see fcllow-mortal,
Without fixed aud fearless views,
Hanging on the skirts Of others,
Walking in their cast off shoes,
Bowing low to wealth and favor,
With an abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retrlct or tly0r,
Willing to be drove or lead
Walk yourself with frmer bearing,
Throw your moral Shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and mar
Just the thing which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone
Than this Backbone.
When you see theologian,
Hugging close some ugly creed,
Fearing to reject or question,
Dogmas which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble feelings,
Choking down each manly view.
Caring more for forms and symbols,
Than to know the good and true
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and mar
row.
Just the thing Which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone
Than this-Backbone.
When you see 4 politician.
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls;
With 10 sterling manhood in him,
Nothing stable, broad Or sound,
Destitute of pluck or ballast,
Double-sided all around;
Walk yourself with firmer bearing.
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and mar
row.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone
Than this Backbone.
A modest song and plainly told
The text Is worth mine of gold;
For many men most sadly lack
A noble stiffness in their back.

CATARRH.-The best "cure"
in the world for catarrh is ac-
complished by doing two things
only two; it will cure three
cases out of four, infallibly:-
First let the nose alone; second
avoid taking cold. Catarrh il
a cold, settling in the head or
nose; and as long as it re-
mains there, preserves the lungs
from danger. If you shuttle
any thing whatever up yournose
in proportion as it arrests or d.
minishes the running from the
nose, or eyes, or throat, it is GER
tain to show itself in the lungs,
within a very few days, and even
in a very few hours, sometimes.

How to Prevent Spring
III u Diseases. & D

It is an indisputable, ply
Biological truth, that if the in
stincts of nature were yielded
to in the spring. were cherished
in the desire to take less and less
food as the weather grows war
mer, as they are yielded to in
the autumn in taking more, a
very large amount of the dis
eases of spring and summer
would be avoided. The prac-
tical lesson to be learned in ref
.erenee to the subject. question
Of health and disease-yes, in
multitudes. of cases a question
of life and DEATHS simply this.
AS the winter passes and the
balmy spring-time comes on do
nothing to increase the appetite;
eat no more than is called for;
do not be uneasy because you
have little or no relish for your
food, eat less and less every day.
The best way to increase your
pleasure Of eating is to change
the quality Of food; use articles
less car bonaceo 1, Jess warming;
send from the table the pork and
bacon, and fat meats, oils, and
sugars, and sage, and the tapi-
oca pudding, and dumplings,
and the rich pastries; get hold
of the early green's" 1.-THE spin
ach, the turnip tops, the radish,
the early berry, and the daily
fruit and lean meats; pay increas-
ing attention to the cleanliness
of the skin, be more in the air:
sleep in better ventilated rooms;
letyour windows beraised higher
at night; and your inner doors
be left wide open.-Dr HaH.

FACTS ABOUT CoLoRs.-A
spoonful of ox-galI to gallon
Of water will set the colors Of
almost any goods soaked in it
previously to washing. A tea
cup of lye in pail Of water
will improve the color of black
goods. Nankin should lie in

the colors. A strong tea of
common hay will preserve the
color of French linens. Vine

the same purpose for both Pur-

SORE EYEs.-The following
receipt for the cure of infamed
eyes isgiven: Take potato,
and after quartering it, CRATE
the heart as fine as possible, and
place the gratings between pie

Place the poultice over the eyes
inflamed, keep it there fifteen
minutes. Continue the opera

a perfect cure ensues." It is
worth trying by those afflicted
with sore eyes. 1t is also very
strongly recommended for

REMEDY FOR SMALLPOX
When the preceding feveris at
its height, and just before the e.
ruption appears, the chest is
rubbed with croton oil and tar
taric ointment. This causes
the whole Of the eruption to APP
pear on that part of the body.
1t also secures a full and COM
plete eruption, and thus pre-
vents the disease from attacking
the internal organs.

old woodland; the green feath-
cry moss is the best. Then take
pasteboard and make a frame
| in any form desired. When the
pasteboard forms are cut out take

satin, and cut pieces the same
shape as the pastcboard forms,
only one-fourth of an inch large.
Place the pasteboard on the cloth
glue or paste the edges down
and sew the pieces together.
Take a narrow strip Of paste
board, cover with the same the
basket is covered with. Then
take pieces of chenille cord and
braid over and under the length
of the strip. Fasten each end
to opposite sides Of the basket.
Cut the moss from the roots,
paste it thickly on the outside
of the basket take chenille cord
like that on the handle or bail,
glue it in every-seam inside
and around the top, taking
pains to do it all nicely and the
work is done.
