Going Home With Sally.

One bright moonlight winters night
in the days Of "lang syne," when
school-h0uses, cheap schoolmasters
and blue beach-rods were the only in
strumentalities used for teaching the
"young idea how toshoot" we chanced
to attend a "spelliug school" i'll Il
certain rural district, the geological
relation of which is not now necessary
to mention. Twas there, however,
where our eyes first fell on a fairy
form," that Immediately set our s,,s-
ceptible heart in blaze. She was
sixteen or thereabout, with bright eyes,
red cheeks and cherry lips, while the
auburn ringlets 'clusteredin wealth
of profusion around her beautiful
head and her person, tQ. our ravished
imagination, was more ffect in form
and outline than the most faultless
statue ever chiseled by the sculptor's
art. AS we gazed, our feelings, which
never before aspired girlward 1--WE
were scarcely eighteen), were fully
aroused, and We determed to so home
with her that night or perish in the
attempt. AS soon, therefore, as school
was dismissed, and our "lady-love -
suitably bonneted and cloaked, we
approached to offer our services as
contemplated, aud we then learned

through the portfolios and creep

For the space of q minute the vessel
lay in that position, and then slowly
righted. Should l live a thousand
years, / will never forget the sensa-
tion of that moment, when life seemed
to tremble in the balance.
Our brave, skilful captain had cho-
sen his opportunity well. The PROV
of the ship received the full force of
next wave, ard we are now in better
condition. We were cleaving the
waves instead Of presenting broad
surface to their stroke. Toward noon
the fury Of the storm somewhat abated.
The waves, although running high,
did not chase each other SO fariously.
A new topsail was rugged up, and we
put about again, and ran with the
wind. It was perilous voyage nearly
the whole way. Capt. McMickman
said that for thirty-five years on the
ocean he had not had so rough pas
sage. The storm seemed to gather it's
force again as we neared the Irish coast,
and when we got into the Channel it
was blowing a furious gale; so severe,
indeed, was it that we were unable to
make Queenstown. Night came on,
and we were without a pilot. We sent
up rocket after rocket, but there was
no response. No boat could live in
such a sea. We passed the spot where
the Cambria went down with all hands
on board, in just such a gale; passed
the spot where the Royal Charter was
dashed to pieces on the rock-bound
coast, leaving scarcely one to tell the
tale. Cautiously we felt our way in
the inky darkness. Every few rods
the captain drew bucket of water,
and, dipping the thermometer into it
would judge Of our locality by the
temperature of the water. So that
night of anxiety, of dread and appre-
hension, passed away, and when morn
ing broke we had crossed the bar, and
Liverpool was in sight.

The Small -P0x---A Simple and
Perfect Fumigat0r.

We copy the following from the
Boston Herald. The method Of fumi-
CATION might be adopted here with
profit:
Some years ago Mr.. Porter, who now
has charge of the Maolis Gardens at
Nahant, was living in Boston and had
a house full of young and old people
as boarders and dodgers. All Of a
sudden young man in the house was
taken down with the regular black
smallpox. OF course, there was great
CONSERVATION in that house, hut pos
ssibly nothing like what there would
W t6.day u7fdefs the Sd}ne cfrcttmstan-
ces. Mr.. Porter, though he had never
had the disease himself, neither had
any of the other inmates Of the house,
took entire charge Of the young man.
He put him in !. room Oh the ground
floor and carefully nursed him with
his own hands. The disease took a
strong hold of the young man and
medical men gave him up, saying that
he could not live; but MIR. Porter
thought differently, and still carefully
nursed him. In the meantime none of
the boarders left the house, while dur
ing the young mans sickness Mr..
Porter went daily to and from his
house attending to his business, and
eventually the young man recovered.
No other person in the house was
taken down with the disease, and no
person took the disease outside the
house by coming in contact with Mr..
Porter, and the only precaution that
he used about the house to. prevent
himself or others from taking the dis
ease was the following: in the sick
room, in the front hall and other parts
of the house he placed small plates of
coarse salt, and upon this salt he daily
poured about large spoonful of the
oil of vitriol. This created a .vapor
which perneated the whole house. 1t
was a perfect fumigator, and not at
tended with any unpleasant smell.
Mr.. Porter, before leaving the sick
room, always thoroughly fi,migated
himself. with this vapor, and thus did
he prevent the spread of the disease,
while he is quite confident that it also
was beneficial to the sick man; and
to-day he is confident in his own mind
that if the same fumigator was used in
houses where persons are sick with
the smallpox that it would prevent
the spread Of the disease. As we now
have board of health composed of
gentlemen who are willing to receive
suggestions, and if Of any worth to
adopt them, to stay the spread of this
terrible disease, this information is
most respectfully submitted. Certain
", it is worth trying.

A more or less worthy Scotch wife

The argument Of Senator Black
burn in favor of the enactment of q
new printing law is SO logical and
conclusive that even the enemies of
the measure must confess to its sutfic-
iency. The Legislature must meet
the ostracism Of the democracy upon
it's own ground. If merchants or
other citizens are to be driven by ter
ror and reproach to the support of
'papers that they condemn as enemies
to justice, truth and the people, then
the occasion has arisen to justify an
exceptional measure in order to meet
this weakness Of the public. There
is no use in evading the matter be-
cause~it is unpleasant but it should

The reportorial genius" Of New

in portraying the closing scenes OF

We copy this from the Cincinnati


Times.
A day or two ago the Supreme
Court Of Louisiana rendered Il. decis-
ion going to the very vitals of the
pending difficulties in that State, and,
in the judgment Of good many able
lawyers, raising serious question
whether that decision by the highest
court of the State did not absolutely
obviate any demand or pretext for
any interference i'll any, even remote,
manner by any branch of the national
government. This important decision
the press reporter at New Orleans
mentioned in the briefest possible
paragraph, not touching the essence
Of the Judgment, and not even NEIL
tioning that the dissenting Justices
failed to renderea directly diverse de-
cision, but only expressed doubts as
to the jurisdiction Of their court IN
the case.
This latter point we should have
been certainly ignorant of but for the
information furnished by our Wash
ingtou correspondent. Yesterday,
however, the pretended Governor OF
the State, the very individual who is
completely set aside by this decision,
gets into print with a bombastic proc
lamation several inches long, travers-
ing and defying the decision, and,
quick lis a flash, here comes our
: competent" reporter with conf
plete copy Of the McEnery trash. We
can not quite think such man is an
unprejudiced reporter Of current news,
capable of sending such as is instruc-
tive but on-partisan.

The HOUR OF DEATH.-Deatll, in a
natural way, comes to more persons
i'll the >neighborhood Of five o'clock in
the morning than at any other hour
in the twenty -four; the fewcst about
the hour of one in the afternoon. In
the early morning the world is still,
the atmosphere is heavy with the
damps Of the night, and the body de-
bilitated, often, with the long fast
from supper time, with nothing to
rouse the spirits or the circulation.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon
the air is most generally full dried by
the sun, has more life, more oxygen
in in it, hence it is more purifying,
more invigorating, while the bright
daylight itself has an elevating, vital
izing tendency. These facts should
he borne i'll mind by those who are
nurses to the sick; for by extra atten-
tons of various kinds the critical hour
might pass, and, if so, the patient
is more liable to live over for another
twenty-four hours. 1t is said by OBJ
servant physicians that each seventh
year Of life is critical which means
that every seventh year Of life is liza
BILE to be fatal, but that if passed over
with improved health it gives rea-
sonably certain lease of another seven
years for example, the most of those
who become consumptive do SO about
the age Of twenty one-a year sooner
or later, but twenty-one is the largest
average when the disease becomes
decided. About forty-two, the six
times seven, is by far the most critical
time Of life in women. If that is
passed healthfully, they have a good
chance of seeing three-score. It will
perhaps be found that a largernumber
Of persons die within a year or two
including sixty three than at any other
specified time between forty-nine and
seventy. These things suggest that
increased attention should be given to
the health at these critical periods.
