The Cause Of Paralysis.

In the course of my daily readings of
your attractive and useful journal, l have
observed two articles speculating on the
probable causes Of paralysis, which is so
prevalent nowadays. There are, no doubt,
various causes of this direful disease, many,
IT not most, Of which are explained in your
remarks. There is one prolific source of
1t, however, which you did not seem to hit
upon or have in mind, and concerning
which it may by said that but few have
any knowledge, or even inclination to
understand or believe in, when informed of
1t. IL Is water impregnated with the
quality Of leaden pipes, through which so
much Of II in this and other cities Is con-
yeyed. There is no Disgusting the fact,
however much plumbers and builders may
contrive to do so. remember well when
chewing tobacco was first put up in lead
foil, without paper lining, how many
even young persons were complaining Of
occasional numbness in their arms, especi-
ally after having lain awhile on them
in bed. had the same experience my
self, and have It now sometimes after
accidentally drinking water contained for
time in lead pipe. The only and best
remedy in such cases il sweet milk and
loaf sugar as sweet as il can Be made.
This efectually neutalizes the poison, /
wish evey one might know this although
preventative by the use Of glass-lined iron
or tin-lined lead pipe would be infinitely
better Graphic.

SAVING SEEDs.-0ne reason why 50
many seeds saved from ones own garden
fail to grow Is, they are not thoroughly
dried before being put away. They may
look dry and feel dry on the outside, and
yet not be 50; and If they are hid away
damp, they mildew and then won't grow.
We all know how annoying it is to be
Obliged to replant the garden after 1t is
time the seeds are up. Always save your
seeds from the largest and incest vegeta-
bles, and you will raise better ones than
you would IL you saved them Just as it
happens. Have paper bags made to keep
your seeds in. Write the name Of each
kind of seed, and date at which it was
gathered, plainly on the bag, and then
there can be nc mistake. When the bags
are filed, put them away in a box where
the mice cannot reach them. You win
thus have laid up a store for future use.

HARVEST.
BY MARoAnEr :. sAkosrEa.


Spring hath the morning gladness,
The hope Of budding leaves;
And Summer in her queenly lap
The wealth Of noon receives
But Autumn hath the twiIight's crown,
The joy of garnered sheayes.
Where late in stately phalanx
The ribboned corn was seen,
Where the golden wheat was waving,
And the oats in silver sheen,
And where the buckwheat snow was white,
Hath the reaper's sickle been.
In clouds the purple aster
lnfolds the hillsides bare;
The sumac lifts its vivid plumes
Like flame the misty air
Hath tints Of rainbow splendors
Estray and captive there.
The hidden seed that slumbered,
So safe beneath the snow,
When the bridegroom sun with kisses
Made earth's wan cheek TO glow,
With thrills of life was quickened,
And could not help but grow.
By softest love-caressing,
By sweetest drops Of dew,
Mid sudden storms Of passion
And heats Of wrath, It grew,
Till the fields were ripe to harvest.
And the years long work was through
The mother-earth is tired
No child ON mother breast
Lies soft till after birth throes;
Toll giveth right to rest;
And all the joy Of harvest
With the peace Of God is blessed.
