"HE GIFETH HIS BELOVED
SLEEPY

BY REV. JOHN W. CHADWICK
OUR sweet boy baby had a gift.
Canton flannel rabbit white:
BY day, by night. awake, asleep,
LII evermore was his delight.
Beauty and use could not agree:
1t lost lie wbiteness more and more:
1t lost Its tail: it lost its ears;
He loved it better than before
And still the grimy little heap
lie tucked beneath his dainty chin;
And still to bed without his pet
Was sure TO brew dreadful din.
Nightly we found his rosy cheek
Against his battered darling pressed.
a vote was passed: When Christmas came
He should of it be di-possesscd.
And in its place AT dead OF night
Another Should be sIyIy placed,
With coat of down az snowy white
As a wee rabbit ever graced.
The deed was done. Not without tears
We took the dear old pet away,
And wrapped it up and marked it plain,
To keep against some distant day.
When. hapy, to some boy Of his
He might the frowzy relic show,
For proof that he was true III love
Some fiye-and-twenty years ago.
Where laid the old we laid the new
And waited for the Christmas morn,
As wait a hundred million hearts
For that dear time when Christ was born.
1t came at length, and baby woke,
To clutch his precious liebling fast;
II was the same, yet not the same!
It's squalor with the night had passed!
He looked, at first, with dubious face.
But soon resolved that all was right
So cuddled II the lyelOnr dav
And pressed it TO his cheek at night
And then l thought, It's writ, He gives
To his beloved while they sleep"
And deeper feelings found me ont
While lay my boy in >lumber deep.
Children of larger growth. God gives
10 Us His gifts from day 10 day
His gifts of Thought, His gifts of will
And howNu fritter them away.
We sol, them ike The baby's pet:
We grovel with sh en- in the mire:
And when we sleep; and while we sleep
sing heavenly voices, Come up higher
New every morn, fresh every eve,
The promise runs and faileth not;
When awake we are with Him
Whose promises are ne'er forgot.
From weary mind and conscience dim
Sleep clears the burring films away;
We may have erred, we may have nncd.
But life l. new with every day
He giveth his beloved sleep:
OH joy To troubled hearts and sore,
And while they sleep-Oh! deeper Joy =
lie gives them strength to reach that shore
Whence they may never wander more.

About Hydrophobia.

INQUEsTIONABLY mistaken notions
about hydrophobia cause an untold amount
of anguish of mind to nervous people, to
whom the terrier is a terror, and who
tremDle before the poodle during the pc
riod of the raging dog-star. Such people
generally abominatc dogs, and if they
have canine pets, forbid their children to
play with them in hot weather, and tor
mcnt the poor beasts to desperation by
dint Of continually testing their sanitary
condition with applications of water. We
take this opportunity, therefore, to state
certain facts of the latest veterinary sci
ence on the subject Of hydrophObia, taken
from a recent address by DR.. E. L. Phil
pots before the British Medical Associa-
ton, and indorsed by one Of the most dis
tinguished Of English naturalists.
There are two forms of canine rabies,
only one of which is communicable to
man. This form is called hydrophobia,
and is always fatal, both to animal and
man. 1t is very rare at all times, and ac-
tually less frequent in warm weather than
in cold, so that if we are going to muzzle
our dogs for hydrOphobia we had better
do it in winter than summer The degree
of this rarity may be judged from the fact
that very few physicians, even of long ex-
peIlclCc, Cdu tcJdlI oiu4lc IuStdHtC Oh
a person dying from true hydrophobia. a
man is perhaps about one-tenth as likely
to die this way as to be struck by light
ming, "a danger scarcely worth lying awake
about certainly.
But bow about the large number Of
dogs that do undoubtedly 90 into a rabid
condition every summer and run amuck
down the street, frothing, barking and bit
ing? These are afflicted, according to DIR,
PhilpOts, with the second form Of rabies.
a distemper somewhat similar in symp-
toms to hydrophobia, but readily distin-
guishable from it. This is quite common,
especially in summer. 1t is not, however,
under any circumstances, communicable
to man, and bite by dog in this condi-
ton has no other effect than tie bite of a
healthy dog. The attack is not generally
fatal to the animal unless by soaring
somebody into shooting him. In this dis
temper, as in hydrophobia, the dog
froths, howls and snaps, and is afflicted
with the same convulsions in the throat
but while the hydrophobic dog flies from
| water, the distempered dog tries to drink it,
but is unable. Nineteen out of twenty Of
the dogs shot every year for hydrOphobia
are only distempered, and if Shut up for
an hour or two would recover This fact
accounts, among other things, for the re-
| markabe discrepancy between the shock
ingly large number of those who are year
ly bitten by so-called mad dogs, and amaz-
ingly small number of actual deaths by
that disease.-spriHgfeld Union.

LOVERS of claret and Burgundy will be

to cause symptoms e poisoning if it be

THE proposition that poor man has
no right to vote tax upon property,
when that tax is for the benefit Of the
rich and poor alike, is untenable. There
is 10 property qualification in this
country. The poor man. has as much
right, legally and morally, to vote di-
rect tax, as he has to vote for legislator,
who has the right to vote a tax on the
people. 1t requires three-fourths vote
TO impose a corporation or county tax.
If this be done fairly, it will be right,
upon eY cry principle of our government.
