Sensation of Starving.

For the first two days through which
strong and healthy man is doomed
to exist upon nothing. his sufferings
are, perhaps, more acute than in the
remaining states-he feels an inor-
dinste. unspeaksble craving ct the
stomach. night and day. The mind
runs upon beef, bread and other sub.
stantlals. but still, in great measure,
the body retains its strength. On the
third and fourth days, but especially
ON the fourth, this incessant craving
gives place to sinking and weakness
of the stomach, accompanied by q
nausea. The unfortunate sufferer still
desires food, but with loss of strength
he loses that eager craving which is
felt in the earlier stages. Should he
chance to obtain a morsel or two OF
food, he swallows it with wolfish
avidity. but five minutes afterward
his sufferings are more intense than
ever He feels as if he had swal-
lowed living lobster, which is claw
ing and feeding upon the verV foun-
dation of his existence. On the
fifth day his cheeks suddenly appear
hollow and sunken, his body attenu-
ated, his color is ashy pale, and his
eye wild, CLASSY, csnnibalish.
The different parts of the system
now war with each other. The stom-
ach calls upon the legs to go with it
in quest of food; the legs, from very
weakness, refuse. The sixth day
brings with it increased suffering, al
though the pangs of hunger are lost
in an overpowering languor and
sickness The head becomes giddy-
the ghosts of well remembered din
ners pass in hideous professions
through the mind. The seventh day
comes, bringing increased lassitude
and further prostration of strength.
The arms hang lifelessly, the legs
drag heavily. The desire for food is
still left, to degree, but it must be
brought, not sought. The miserable
remnant of life which still hangs to
the sufferer is a burden almost too
grievious to be borne; yet his iuhe-
rent love of existence induces a de
sire still to preserve it, if it can be
saved without tax upon bodily ex
ertion. The mind wsnders. At one
moment he thinks his weary limbs
can not sustain him mile, the next he
is endowed with unnatural strength,
and if there be a certainty OF relief
before him, dashes bravely and
strongly forward, wondering whence
proceeds his new and sudden i'm.
pulse.

Two LII a Bed.

More quarrels arise between broth
ers, between sisters. between hired girls,
between school girls, between clerks in
stores, between husbands and wives,
owing to electric channels through
which their nervous system goes by
lodging together night after night un-
der the same bedclothes. than by aoy
other disturbing causes There is moth
ing that will so derange the nervous
force as to lie all night in bed with an
other person who is absorvent in ner-
yous force. The absorber will go to
sleep and rest all night, while the elm
inator will be tumbling and tossing,
restless and nervous, and will wake up
in the morning fretful, peevish, fault
finding and discouraged. No two per-
sons, no matter who they are, should
habitually sleep together. One will
thrive and the other will lose This is
law. and in married life it is defined al
most universally.

Peck's Experience with a Coal
Stove.

Peck's Experience with n Coal
La Crosse Democrat
We never had u coal stove around
the house until last Saturday. Hav-
ing always burned pine slabs and
pieces of our neighbor's fence. They
burn well, too, but the fence got
all burned up, and the neighbor
said he wouldn't build a new ono,
so we went down to JOnes's and got
coal stove. II is called the Sra
diant Home" and any man that
says we didn't have a radiant home
at our house for about four hours
last Saturday night is a Republican
and a villain. You see we didn't
know anything about coal stoves.
We filled the Radiant Home about
half full of pine fence. and when
the stuff got well to going we filled
the artesian well on top with coal.
1t simmered and sputtered about
five or ten minutes, and all went
out, and we put on an overcoat and
pair of mittens and "went out,
too" to supper. We remarked, IN
the course of the frugal meal, that
Jones was "froad" for recommend
ing such a cOnfounded refrigerator
for man to get warm by. After
supper we took piece of ice and
rubbed our hands warm, and went
in where that stove was, resolved to
make her draw and burn if it took
all the pine fence in the First Ward.
Our better half threw a quilt over
her. and shiveringly remarked she
never knew what solid comfort was
till she got a coal stove. Stung by
the sarcasm in her remark. we
turned everything in the stove that
was movable, or looked like it had
anything to do with a draft, and
pretty soon the Radiant Home began
to heave up heat. 1t was not long
before she suffered like the new
Silsby steamer. Talk about your
heat! In ten minutes that room
was as much worse than Turkish
bath as Hades is hotter than Liver
mans ice-house. The perspiratiOn
fairly fried out of tin water cooler
IN the next room We opened the
doors. and the snow began to melt
as far up Vine street as Hanscomb's
house. and people all round the
neighborhood put on linen clothes.
And we couldn't stop the con-
founded thing. We forgot what
Jones told US about the dampers,
and she just kept billing. The on
ly thing we could do was to go to
bed, and leave the thing burn up
the house if it wanted to. We went
to bed, supposIng that the coal
would eventually burn out, but
about twelve o'clock the whole fami-
ly had to get up and sit on the fence.
Finally, a man came along who had
been brought up among coal stoves,
and he put wet blanket over him
and crept up to the stove and turned
the proper dingus, and she cooled
off, and since that time has been
lust az comfortable as possible. IT
YOU buy a coal stove, you want to
learn how to engineer it, or you
may get roasted.

While affiuenee, with rich, luxuriant

Oh God ask not for the beggar's bread;

But starving eyes stare round my will

And wintry frOsts creep thro' nv low

The dear ones closer to their mother

In vain fall from her eyes the burning

She weeps no more, yet silent sorrows

Oh! can it be, that here in freedoms

Such scenes as these are coldly looked

Is there no spot meath heavens arching

Where justice reigns or mercy has be-

While writhe their souls with hunger's

And north winds pierce with cheer

DRUNKARD's CHILD.

Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what | have borne
Sink meath blow father dealt,
And the cold worlds proud scOrn,
And suffer on from year to year,
Thy sole relief-the scaldinS tear
Go kneel as have knelt:
ImplOre, beseech. and pray
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay:
BE dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears de-
fed.
Go weep as have wept,
Ger loved fathers fall;
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to gall:
Life's fading flowers strewed all the way
That brought ME up to wOmen's day.
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed;
With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in
blood,
And cold and liyid brow.
Go catch his wiThered glance and see
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go TO the mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own deep panguish hide
Wipe from her cheek the tear.
Mark the worn frame and withered brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair
now
With fading form and trembling limb,
And trace the rum back to him:
Whose plighted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who fOrswOrn hath yielded up
That promise to the cursed cup.
And led her down through love and
light.
And all that made her future bright,
And chained her there mid want and
strife,
That lowlv tJiing-a drunkard's wife,
And stamped on childhood's brow so
mild,
That whitening blight-the drunkard's
child.
Go hear and feel and see and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known,
Then look upon the winc-cup's glow:
See if its beauty can atone,
Think if IFS flavor you will try,
When all prOclaim-'tis drink and die.
Tell me ] hate the bowl!
Hate is feeble word
| lOathe, abhor, my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred,
Whene'er see or hear or tell
OF the dark beverage of hell.

THE ALABAMA MONEY.

A proposal has been made in Washington,
and our dispatches show that it is meeting
with some favor. that the fifteen and half
millions paid by Great Britain for the depre-
dations of the Confederate cruisers shall not
be distributed at all, but simply added to the
funds in the United States Treasury. 1t is
urged that an equitable distribution of the
money among the actual sufferers from the
operations of the Alabama, Florida, and
Shenandoah is impossible. Except per-
baps in u few extraordinary cases,
the owners of ships and cargoes de-
stroyed by those vessels were protected
nv insurance. The extra premiums they were
required to pay for war risks were added TO
the prices for which they sold their goods, OF
the rates which they charged for freIghts. The
insurance companies lost nothing, for the
extra risk was taken regularly into account III

them probably made money by the war; II
they did not it was their own fault. Where,

many causes OF arrangement in trade, high

| losses can be measured in dollars and cents
it is the ship-builders whose craft was broken
up, the carriers whose ships were driven from
! the ocean, and the sailors who were turned
ont of employment.
