A Hundred Years Ago.

Where where are all the birds that sang
hundred years ago2
The flowers that all in beauty sprang
hundred years ago?
The lips that smi d,
The eyes that wild
In flashes shone
Soth eyes upon:
Where . where are lips and eyes,
The malden's smiles, the lovers signs,
That lived so long ago.
Who peopled all the city streets
a hundred years ago?
Who filled the church, with faces meek
hundred years ago2
The sneering tale
Of sister frail:
The plot that worked
brothers hurt:
Where, OF where are plots and sneers,
The poor mans hopes the rich mans fears,
That lived SO long ago.

GRAPES AND MUD AS MEDICAL AGENTS,
The New York Times says:

At certain towns in Switzerland grapes are
grown solely as medicine and the vineyards are
put to no other use. Instead of drinking water,
as at other places, the patient is sent out to eat
grapes, and must pick them himself from the
vines. Where the doctor ordinarily instructs
the patient to drink so many glasses of water,
ne Is here instructed to eat just so many punches
of grapes, and no more. 1t is assumed to be-
dangerous to go beyond the doctors prescrip.

they do, and 60 away very we'll satisfied An
other popular treatment is found at the mud
baths of Schwabsch and other places where
the patients are immersed in soft black
mud up to their chins, and remain in the bath
tor some hours. Most OF them have floating
table before them upon which they keep books,
cigars or refreshments, according to the tastes
of the patients. After remaining two or three
hours in the mud one is washed off with hose
pipe and put into tepid bath. The operation
is continued the next morning, and is repeated
until the patient is cured or tired

From the Southern Churchman.
Many readers of the Southern Churchman
are readers of the Alexandria Gazette. 1t will
be grief to them to know of the death of its
accomplished editor, Mr.. Edgar Snowdeu,
which took place at his residence On Friday
evening
The Gazette was established 10 1900 by Mr..
Snowden's father; but for the last torty-6ye
years NJ. Edgar Snowden has been it's editor.
during the past year, however, bad health
has prevented him from attending to his du-
ties; so that its management has been under
the supervision of bis eldest son, Mr.. Edgar
Snowden, ia.
The Gazette had from its inception many
friends. The high tone Of the paper was
model for all. Its editor never aimed to lead
public opinion. He was content to make a
paper that would give all the important news
10 condensed FORM Occasionally ne would
write leading articler never long, which ex-
pressed his views on the topics OF the day, in
calm and wise manner. No Que was ever the
worse Cd account of reading the Gazette; it
brought no blush to any cheek; it quarrelled
not with its contemporaries; it pursued the
even tenor of Its way, aiming to give, what the
people desired, the important news of the
world, with special reference to what was
gong on 10 Virginia and the city of Alex
andra.
LIS editor was heightened aud honorable
gentlemaD; and those who were privileged to
know him we'll, knew him but to admire, not
only the excellencies of bis character, but the
calm wisdom of his conversation He was a
careful and digent reader, we'll informed on
all matters that pertained directly or indirectly
to his profession.
Mr. Snowden, though church-goer, was not
COMMUNICATE of the Church. We regret when
we see such a man standing outside of the
Chu'ch. But for months past be has b, en- true
penltent; and while it is not for us to lift the
veil of private life, his pastor, Rev. Dr.. McKim,
who has been much with him, expresses his
earnest hope that be died pentent believer
in our Lord Jesus.
To his beloved family and many friends, We
offer our siucerest sympathy 10 their great
bereavement.
