Glove us do you? Bless your

She sighed wearily, then glanced
out Of the window, looked mo-

work.

her heart.
"There's no use in talkin'' George,

SPRING.

"Come gentle Spring!" Of which poor Thomson
Not this fierce Arctic blast, 80 sharp and freez-
ethereal mIldne.s," with a winter coat.
And "balmy airs" that keep the people sneez-
ing!
Where are the Springs we read Of long ago,
When buds, aud leaves, and flowers were each
displaying
And roses blOomed while we have yet our
sleighing.
Did our forefathers, when they stepped on board
And with so many things the Mayiower freighted
Think of land In May where tempests rOared,
And Spring and Summer came SO much be-
lated?
Would they have left old England's sunny isle,
Could they have looked through the succeeding
Would they not have endured their lot while,
Had they foreseen how long their winter ragesf
And those old English poets who have sung
About those leafy bowers and meadows ver-
nal,
While still our caves with icicles are hung,
And Jack Frost's reign bids fair to be eternali
What nonsense are their feeble songs to Spring!
Spring with the mercury almost at zero!
When winds SO bitter wither everything,
And he who ventures out Is quitc a hero!
Look at the picture they describe in May
Was anything so sense lss ever written?
Ine lAnlDktuS Ir1sklnU tDrOuSn tne merry Oay!
Here every Sleeps foot needs a wooden mitien !!
o for the good old days our fathers had,
When Spain. could be forstold by rules Of
science,
When Winter left before the time of chad,
And snowdrifts didn't cover dandelions
When every village maid, whose Winter term
or school from study had last released her,
Having overcome the will of Pa so firm,
Could her new bonnet safely buy for Easter.
When ice in March, from every stream would go,
And leave a pathway free to all our commerce;
And every farmer plow, and plant, and hoe,
With perfect faith in Mr.. Richard Thomas.
f poets must write verses on the year,
They should with rhyme give US little reason !;
Not talk of flowers and birds while Winters
here.
But suit their conversation to the season.
When frost is seen and felt Oh every street.
And snow drifts crown our very lowest noun
tains'
While rubber boots are needed for the feet,
And streams are frozen to their very fountains :;
I hen let the flames destroy their silly strains
And publishers defanty refuse them;
Their talk Of Spring shows u sad lack of brains !;
The only reason why we can excuse them.

Don't JTOpI'U.

1t is uncomfortable aud injurious TO
health to keep in - constant anxiety "t
mind. With souc every thing goes
wrong. both at home and abroad the
nerves become irritable, the temper dis
turbod. the mind sensitive to trillcs. IN
fac, it is soon confirmed habit to con-
tinualy worry and borrow troubles,
making this world u place Of misery
rather than happiness. as designed by tie
Creator. The mind has great power
over the body. In i medical poiul OF
view, as o man thinkelh, 80 is he. II he
wills not to die he can often live. in spite
OF disease; hut if he has ~ attachment
to lile, he will slip away rs easily rs 4
child will fall to sleep. For person TO
think that he ha. a certain disease, and
worry about it, will often produce that
same disease. This occurs, perhaps,
Only when the mind is intensely con-
centrated upon the disease. II has often
been observed that physicians who make
speciality of certain disease are liable
TO die of it themselves. Sometimes in
persons where the mental power i. very
great, they die OF diseases which they
have only in imagination. We have
known person to die OF disease OF the
stomach, as cancer. when from post NOR
tenn examination il was found that they
had no cancer nor any other mortal dis
ease, except in the mind. We have
known II person TO be scasck before
reaching the vessel. Experiment has
shown that 4 man, strong and healthy,
blind folded and slightly pricked in the
arm, and made to believe that he is
bleeding to death, has tainted and died.
1t smely illustrates this principle, that by
their faith men are saved, and by their
laith they die also. Men live by their
souls and not by their bodies which have
no lie of themselves; they are only re.
ceptacles Of liiO-tenements for their
souls, and the will has much TO DO in con.
tinuing the physical occupancy or giving
it up. Therefore don't worry, but keep
the mind in a cheerful, hopeful and quiet
state and we shall live out our allotted
lime, in the full enjoyment of all the
blessings of life. 1t is an old maxim
that contentsd, cheerful mind is con.
tinual feast, and we fully believe it.
There is no path tha. will be more easily
travelled, no road but VIII be lighter, no
shadow on the heart or brain but will lit
sooner in the presence Ct conten,el,
cheerful mind.

A New and Important Decision

In iowa, q child, two years of age,
was run over and killed by train upon
one of the railroads of the State. The
father brought action in the Circuit
Court againstthe corporation for DANA
ges, laid at $4,000, proving on the trial
that the accident resulted from the
negligence of employees of the company.
To support his claim the counsel for the
plaintiff introduced into the case the
Carlisle tables, we'll known to all in
surance men, in order to show that the
probable duration of the life of a
child of the age of two years would be
long enough to be equivalent, in the
services it might render, to the amount
claimed. After careful consideration
the court excluded the testimony, ruling
that the child, being an infant at the
time of its death, was, under the law,
incapable of acquiring an estate, and
could not for nineteen years thereafter
begin to acquire one. The jury were in
structed to return a verdict for actual
damages, which were the value of the
child's service during minority, and ac.
cordingly judgment of $3.50 was
awarded. The plaintiff appealed to the
SOuip, NlluD VI piO'
cedents was cited as having been estab
lished in the English courts. The Su
preme Court then decided that the low
er court had erred in prohibiting as evi
dence the Carlisle tables that plaintiff
had right to show, by every Legitimate
evidence, the actual damage sustained
in the loss of his child. The case wal
remanded, new trial ordered, and tn,
excluded evidence being submitted
At its close the jury awarded the plain
tiff $4, 900 damages, estimating upon tn
basis of the probable loss the estate o
the child might have suffered, begin
ming at the age of 81, and continuing
during the probable duration of life
according to the same tables. This i
the first case adjusted in this countr
upon like grounds, and the result
important. If such a decision shoul
be followed in the courts of othe
States, it will materially change the as
pect of suits for damages.

Colorado Scenery.

To get good view of the Arkansas
Canyon in Colorado, one must take the
carriage-road on the north side of the
river, and drive ND q distance of ten
miles, near the head. The ascent is
easy and gradual, and after passing the
first low range OF foothills, the glories
of the Snowy Range burst on the vision
sixty miles away, but seemingly so near
that every gorge, precipice, and peak
are revealed in all their grandeur. Up
one hill and down another, through
pinion groves and over loose masses of
limestone rock that are hurled and
tumbled in all sorts of fantastic shapes,
the adventurous traveller makes his way,
and is soon standing on the very brink
of the canyon. The grandeur of the
sight is not easily forgotten. One in
voluntarily holds his breath as he ap-
proaches the awful brink. Straight
down as the plummet go the limestone
walls hundreds of feet, while the rivel
below looks like mere thread of silver
and its angry voice cannot be heard. L
is a spectacle for the poet and painter
and, in looking upon it, even Shodd,
will forget his greenbacks and paste
diamonds, and rhapsodize by the hour
