GRASSES
sx AUGUSTA IARuHD.

o, life that hldeth IN the cod.
How sweet and b0uptiful thou art!
Like Aaron's mys ic almond rod,
By miracle the grasses start.
They creep about the naked land,
In ailence shod they uimbiy run.
They clothe the rock and deck the sand,
And spread their volve:s in the sun.
Upon mighty loom they ply
With shuttle flying far ana wide,
And woven in his tapestry
See buttercups and daisies MED.
O., sweet this green and humble homo
For all -, tbs young that skip and play,
This dewy fO0tstool meath the dome
Where low 81 eve the cattle pray.
o, sweet this fond maternal care
For nAmeless weeds that flower and fade;
And teeming millions flourish thtre
The We&kest races God has made.
o, sweet to think when day il done,
And tired We seek the common breast,
Like al thai gaze upon the sun,
Our frames beneath this cloak shall rest.

Laughter AZ q Medicine.

A gentleman was suffering from an ulce-
rated sore throat, which finally became 80
swollen that his life was despaired of. when
his household came to his bedside to bid
him farewell. Each person grasped his
hand for moment, and then turning went
~ waited till the last, then advancing and
grasping his masters hand for minute,
also turned and went away with his hands
to his eyes. This assumption of deep grief,
which it is hardly possible the animal could
have felt, since it could scarcely have COM
pretended the problem Of mortality there
so powerfully presented to the human mind,
was go ludicrOus in its perfection that the
trollable fit of laughter, which broke the
ulcer in bis throat, whereby his life was
saved.
