Professor Wilder, of Cornell Uni
versity, in Moore's Rural New Yorker,
gives the following short rules for ac-
ton in eases of accident, which will
be found useful to remember:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing;
dash water in them; remove cindeIs,
&c-, with the round point of a lead
pencil.
Remove water from the ear by te-
pid water. Never put hard instru-
ment into the ear.
Ifan artery is cut, com Dress above
the wound: if vein i cut, compress
below.
If chokeJ, get on all fours and
cough.
For slight burns, lip the part in
cold water; if the skin II destroyed
cover with yarnish.
Smother 4 fire with carpet, &c,
water will often spread burning oil
and increase the danger. Before
passing through smoke take Il long
breath and then stOup low; hut If car
bODic acid gas Is suspected, walk
erect.
Suck poisr ned wounds unless your
mouth is sIl-; enlarge the wound; or,
better, cut tine part without delay;
hold the wounded part ~ long a. can
be borne to hot coal or the end Of =
cigar.
In case Of poisoning, excite vaInit-
ing by tickling the throat or by warm
water and mustard.
For acid poisOns, give alkalie~; for
alkaline pOisons, give acids-white Of
egg is good in most caSe-; in a case Of
opium poisoning, give strong coffee
and keep moving.
If in water, float on the back, with
the nose and mouth projecting.
Tor apOplcXy raise the head and
body; for fainting lay the person Hat.

TIL CRSD4H ETENING.
At THE LAST.

Three little words within my brain
Beat back and forth their one refrain,
Ihreeiiittle words, whose dull dI,tr---
Means everything and nothingue-,,
Unhidden move my lips Instead
OfOther utteTauce: She is dead.
Here, lingering, we talked OfIate
beside the hedge-srown garden gate;
TIL, smiling, ere the twilight tell
She bade me take q last farewell.
Those were the final words She said
Eut yesterlay-and She is dead
see the very gown She wore,
The color 1 had praised before,
The swaying length, where She would pas
Made light rustic on the grass
There in the porch She turned her head
For one last smile-and She Is dead
Could l have knOwn,wh1t was to come,
Those hours had not been blind and dumb
! would have followed close with Death,
Have striven for every glance and breath
But nOw-the final word IS said,
The last look taken-she is dead
We were not lovers-such' as they
Who pledge faith To last for aye
Yet seems the Universe to me
a riddle now without key:
What means the sunshine overhead,
The bloom belOw-nOw She is deuds
50 new my grief, its sudden haze
Bewilders my accustomed ways;
And yet 50 old, IL seems my heart
Was never from its p:tiu aTiart -
What was and is and shall De, wed
With that one sentence-she is dead.
From the AliiHe for June.

Coins Orthe COmmHne.

It a curious fact that five franc
pieces bearing the eiIigy Ofthe EepuD-
lie. ISL, are now sold for j. frauc- "a,
the Hotel des Nente-. The value of
these coins j. owing u their having
been struck at the mint under singu-
lar circumstances. tameliuat, who
was Director at that establishment
under the Com muue, was ordered 10
coin a certain numb-~ Of gold and -ii
yer pieces, bearing the efIigy Of the
Commune. Attempts were made,
but were unsuccessful, a. the proper
workmeu were absent or otherwise
engaged. He had recourse u the
stamps already existing, making q
slight modification. At the reverse
Of each stamp were three signs, the
letter 4, indicating the spot where
the money was melted, an anchor,
which j. the mark Of the COmptTOller,
and a bee, the stamp Of the Director.
Tie Commune only struck 1000 and
nearly all We're remelted, so that the
coins are very rare.

BY the census returns of 1865 and
1870 il appears that our cotton manu-
featuring establishments have de

creased from l@j,il3 To lj77,3l0, show
iuy that the change has been uu,- of

COnHrc, ijut, and 81 IN New York.
Altogether they employ l3j, 36J hands,
or 1871 more than IN 1869, and though
the raw cotton manufactured was 2i,-
400, 900 pounds les ia 1870 than in
1860, the amount of capital required
was Sil ,2tW 90 more. Fall River has
more SpiudiCS than any other AmeTi-

ing some new factories, soon to he in

dies running, representing over ~,

had only eleven manufacturing es-
tabiishments, with capital of \, ,OOO,-

A Neglected Cenaetarx.

In the cemetery attached to the
Rock Island GILL; Arsenal lie the re-
mains of two thousand Confederate
dead, who died there while prisoners
of war. The editor of the Rock Isl
and Argus lately visited this forlorn
spot, and says that the fences which
once enclosed the ground and the head
boards which identified the occu-
pants OF the trenches have been
levelled eaven with the earth. Only
six of the graves have survived
this obliterating process, and these
have marble slabs, which have
been erected there by g.ieving parents
Of these six three are tenapted by
brothers of the name of Mcdaniel,
whe all died on the island, and the
slabs proclaim them to be the sons of
Fielding and Lucinda Mcdaniel.
The editor refers TO ''the vandali m
of takeing away the fence, the head
boards and leveling these graves, -
and say that cattle belonging to Uni
ted States officers, which run on the
island, trample over the caves, and
the place wears a neglected and forlorn
1ook--a look of spitefulness towards
the helples dead" There is a Com
mandant at the Rock Island Arsenal
who could probably rectify this inhu-
mainly If he but chose to do so.

Very Amusing.

Detroit has what it calls a funny
man. An Old man named Gregg, who
mends furniture for a living, was sit
ting in his shop recently, when a
stranger entered and asked the loan of
dollar. Gregg bounded at the i'm
pudence Of the request, and the
stranger began laughing uproariously
and shut and bolted the door. The
stranger then took off his coat. rolled
up his sleeves and stepped up and
seized Gregg by the hair and lifted
him up a foot or SO. Gregg attempted
to call i'll the police, but the funny
man seized him by the throat and
nearly choked him to death. 'Why
don't You laugh ?" said the stranger;
saying which he began to twig his
nose. A stair-rod then came into re-
QUESTION, Gregg being constantly re-
quested to laugh. Seeing that his life
was in danger, he did laugh, but it
was not a hearty laugh, and &C ord

-, aged two months and five days.
The shades of eternal night has
clouded forever the infantile -, who

the horizon of her parents, Tightening
their pathway with the sheen of hope.
A lovely gem of beauty cleaning
brightly in their casket of jewels has

whose vernal freshness impregnated
her parental heart with it's fragrance
of love blooming sweetly in the
bouquet of fiowt rs that garlanded their
happiness, has, by the blighting upas
of disease, faded away, to bloom with
more brilliant angelic hues in that
land of perennial purity and bliss to
which little children by divine behest
are welcomed"
