bout m-my Johnny? M.my name il
Sm-mith, and wh-when I looked this
m-morning for the notice Of Johnny's
d-death in y-your paper saw this aw-
tul, wicked v.verse
Four doctozs tackled Johnny Smith
They blistered and they bled him;
With squills and anti bilious pills
And ipecac they fed him.
They stirred him up with calomel,
And tried to move his liver;
But all in vain-his little soul
Was waited DER The River.
It's false false that's what it is :!
Johnny only had one doctor. And
they d-didn't try to m-move his liver
ana they d-didn't bl-bleed him and
b-blister him. It's wicked falsehood.
and you're hard-hearted brute f.f.for
printing it,"

t'nue!" exclaimed Brimmer. "This
Is not my work it is the work of a
serpent whom warmed in my bosom,
and whom [ will slay with nv own
hand as soon as he comes in. Madam.
the miserable outcast shall die !"
Strange! strange!" mused OFT
" And this man told ME to combine ele-
waiting sentiment with practical informa-
ton. If this information concerning
the squills and ipecac is not practical, /
have misunderstood the use of the
word. And if young Smith didn't
have four doctors, it was an outrage.
he ought to have had them. and thew
ought to have excited his liver. Thus
1t Is, thought OFT, that human life
is sacrificed to carelessness."

SUMNER LIVING IN TENTS,

Augusta Moore, writing to the New
York Evening Post from Chelsea, VT,
says:
1t is matter of astonishment that in
country like ours, with scenes of such un-
speakable beauty within one or two hum
dred miles of our teeming cities, so little
use should be made of tents as summer
dwellings for families. Every family in
comfortable circumstances should own
one, and use it, too, in July and August
1t would pay its whole cost in one year by
the health and pleasure it would afford the
children and their parents. Father and
mother need not be in hurry once all
those weeks of tent life Rest, refresh
ment; rest-all their sweet employ--this
is the life of tent dwellers on the islands
in Lake Genessee. But such noted places
are not best for people of small means.
wish could see the New England hills
dotted with tents from its cities, and its
woods and waters alive with city children,
growing wild and stout and tanned and
treckled and happy like these sturdy coun-
try children. What cruel sin and shame
it is to keep children quiet and clean and
shut up all the year round in the strong
city. Were father and mother of fam
lily I'd have tent if didn't have par
lor, and my children should have six or
eight weeks frolic by the waters and in
the woods, if l never had silk dress, or
broadcloth coat. But this beautiful rusti-
eating could be managed SO as to cost no
more than staying at home all summer
would cost.
OF course "gumption" and prudence
are required for such an enterprise as we'll
as for all things else. "Shiftlessness" can
mismanage anything Good judgment is
needed even in saving wood. It's just
as hard work to saw 1t SO that one stick is
too long to 60 into the stove, and the other
too short for anything, as to saw it in the
middle. But many man lacks the sense
to make both sticks right. People of this
sort had better stay Just where they are,
if they can. If they change the place,
they'll keep the pain.
We took ride the other day about the
hills and wales of Chelsea, Vermont. We
found many beautiful camping-out places
We found a farmhouse on mountain-top.
The prospect was grand and inspiring.
Hundreds of peaks rose all round the
horizon-some bleak and rocky, but most
heavily wooded, and greenest green.
Snow lay on them. We gathered and ate
some. 1t was most refreshing. We be-
set the pleasant faced woman who came
out to walk with us to take us to board;
but she was the only woman about. with
house full of men, and had too much work
to do already. l know she would have
been glad to have had a tent-fun of nice
people near her. She looked exactly as
though she would do all she could to sup
ply their wants. On another high hilltop
we found another farmhouse. This man
had wintered twenty head of cattle, four
horses, and sheep-I forget how many;
milk. butter and meat, you see, and horses
for hire. all in plenty. right there. l
wanted to pitch my tent at once. But for
many reasons it was not worth while. So
l contented myself with board in the green
cup of valley which contains Chelsea
village.
