At NV Mothers Grave.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

RY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
The trembling dewdrops fall
ITnon the shutting tlowers-like souls ct
The stars shining gloriously- and all,
Save me, is blest.
Mother Il love thy grave.
The violet with the blossom blue and mild,
Waves DER thy head-when shall it wave
Above thy child?
IT'S a sweet fower-Yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming tempest bow,
Dear mother-'tis thine emblem-dust
Is on thy brow!
And 1 could love to die
To leave untasted ifes dark, bitter streams
By thee. as FIRST in childhood. lie,
And share thy dreams
And must linger here
To stain the pluInage of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes of childhood dear
With bitter tears /?
Aye-must I inger here,
A lonely branch upon a blasted tree
Whose last frail Leaf untimey sere,
Went down with thee
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past, turn
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urh.
And when the evening pale
Rows like rnourner on the dim, blue wave,
| stray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown
gaze above-thy look Is imaged there
/ listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh come-While here I press
DIy brow upon thy graye-and, in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless bless thy child
Yes, bless thy weeping child
And DER thy urn-religions hottest shrine
Oh, give his spirit undefiled
To blend with thine.

Remedy for Poison by wv

It seems to me that | read all kinds
of cures for ivy poison except the right
one. I have always endeavored to keep
it before the public, but have failed. It
is to dissolve sugar of lead, a bit the
size OF hazelnut, in half teacup Of
sweet milk or warm water. Apply
warm as can be borne easily with a soft,
Unity piece Of linen rag. Three or four
applications are sufficient to effect a
cure. If the poison is on the face and
nearing the eyes or mouth, this as
tringent wash may be constantly ap-
piled.
It is marvellous cure, and by watch
ing closely one can see the fevered bis
tiers turn from Witty to yellow during
the application. This remedy for ivy
poison should prevent great deal Of
suffering. It is well where a member
of family is easily poisoned, to keep
sugar Of lead in the house all the time.
Let it be labeled and kept where it can
be found the moment it is wanted.
Keep it well wrapped up that it may
not lose its strength. -Cor. ohio

An Electric Man.


count of most extraordinary case of
paralysis which recently occurred in
that city, and the remarkable symptoms
which attended the patients illness.
The sufferer is Major Edwin Gottheil,
a prominent citizen of New Orleans.
The Times says: GA short time after
Major Gottheil's affection commenced
there were developed in him symptoms
which it is stated have but one parallel
in the history Of medical science. One
evening he was lying asleep, almost as
profound and peaceful as when in
health. The faithful watchers set just
within the adjoining room, ready to
answer his slightest call. Suddenly he
cried out in frightful screams of agony,
and, although paralyzed and incapable,
ordinarily, of moving without aid, he
sprang up in his bed. The paroxysms
of pain did not in the least affect the
clear conceptions of his intellect; on the
contrary they were rather strengthened
than otherwise. Aroused in this man
ner from slumber, his first conceit was
that some one had applied to him a gall
vanic battery heavily charged. Becom-
ing assured that such had not been the
case, he then thought that some one
had stolen In his room and done some
thing to him that he knew not. This
in turn gave way to the positive as
surances Of his wife and friends; but
it was plain something had happened
of an extraordinary physical character,
and the Major, with his usual scientific
turn of mind, set about it's investiga-
ton. Lifting up his paralyzed arm, he
discovered that it was covered with
what appeared to be phosphoric light
Holding the stricken limb still higher,
electric lights dripped from the fingers
like drops Of liquid fire, whilst the
whole arm, and the corresponding
sides Of the face and neck were
illuminated in like manner. The
phonomena was wonderful to behold.
It was plain the patient was mystic
riously and wonderfully overcharged
with electricity. Feeling mysterious
influence in his left eye, he called upon
his friends to examine it. They found
it to be perfectly natural in appearance,
except that it emitted bright illumi-
nation, which cast light on the wall
sufficiently strong in a darkened room
to enable him to see the figures on the
wall paper In word, the eye shone
out like lamp. It was at this stage,
but after these wonderful physical in
dications had abated, that DR.. Nichol-
son was called in, and it will crafty
the many old and cherished friends of
Major Gottheil to be informed that the
symptoms Of his painful illness have
taken a favorable turn. Already he
has measurably recovered the use of
his lower limbs, and with steadily in
creasing strength, the strongest hopes
are entertained of his speedy recovery.

KAarneY,S Command

Here is q story of gallant Phil Kear-
ney: During the hottest part of the
day at Seven Pines, when his division
were putting in their very best clicks
in holding back the Confederate column.
the colonel OF certain regiment of
infantry that was hurrying forward
galloped to the American Bayard and
asked him where he should 90 in.
" Oh, anywhere, Colonel, anywhere
It's all the same. Lovely fighting

Thin Seeding.

The following article on the subject
of the thin seeding of wheat, copied
from the Mark Lane Express, is worthy
the attention of American farmers:
The season is fast approaching for
putting In the wheat seed for next
years crop The general practice is to
allow three bushels of seed per acre,
and the average produce does not much
exceed twenty-eight bushels per acre,
say nine or ten for one. The question
of comparative results of thick and
thin seeding is in the present state of
agriculture more important one than
most farmers are aware of. If it really
can be proved that sowing one busheI
per acre instead of three will produce
as good or better crop than three
bushels, supposing the extent of the
land sown is, in round numbers, four
million acres, it gives an amount of
eight million bushels saved in seed
only; whilst some who have tried it
say that the produce is greater. Now,
we are importing from eight to eleven
millioo quarters of wheat per annum-
for the two last years it has amounted
to eleven miIlions-and the question is
simple one, whether it would not be
as well to reduce the proportion of seed
wheat, besides increasing the produce,
which all those who have tried thin
sowing aver in the case, and thereby

NATURE GREATER THAN ART,-The
tendency of Medical Science at the present
day, is to circumscribe more and more
the legitimate field of its operations, while
at the same time its disciples labor to cul-
tivate that field with correspondingly in
creased diligence. Food, as is being now
recognized, every day with more clearness,
food is the Great Healer and the only
true Office of the medical remedies, in the
great majority of cases, is simply this -
and also enable the stomach to digest food
in sufficient abundance and with sufficient
thoroughness; and also to enable the vari-
Gus portions of the system to appropriate
from the food thus digested whatever re-
spectively they require in order to tull
health. This priuciple is strikingly Illus
trated in the case of that great popular
medicine of the age, DR.. Gottlieb Fisch's

THERE is NO DEATH-If it be true that
Nature abhors vacuum, it is equally true
that the Great Creator abhors death and
glories in life There is really no such
thing as death-the term is misnomer,
used to designate the changes which occur
in life. Life, eternal hfe,is created by the
laws of Almighty will-power, which are as
immutable in their application as is the
existence of the Creator Himself. When
God made life, He made everything neces-
sary to sustain it, but left it for mans pro,
