AN AGRICULTURAL ODE.
BY J. 9. WHITTIER

~ o. - ~HAAA INV
This day. two hundred years ago,
The wild grapes by the rive side,
The tasteless ground-nut trailing low,
The table Of the woods supplied.
Unknown the spple's red aud gold.
The blushing tint Of the peach and pear
The mirror Of the pow WOW told
No tale Of orchards ripe and rare.
Wild as the fruits he seornsd 20 tili,
These Wales the idle Indian troi
Kor knew the glad. creative skill
The Joy OF him who tolls with God.
O. Painter Of the fruit and flowers,
We thank Tree for Thy wise design,
whereby these human hands Of ours
In natures garden, work with thine,
And thanks that from our daily need,
The Joy Of simple faith Is born,
That he who smites the summer weed,
NAY trust Thee for the autumn corn
Give fools their gold and knaves their power,
Let fortunes bubbles raise aud fall,
Who sows a field or trains flower,
Or plants a tree Is more than all
For he who blssses most Is blest,
And God and shall have his worth
who tolls 10 leave A. bequest
an added beauty to the earth.
And soon or late TO all who SOW.
The time OF harvest shall be given,
The flowers shall bloom, the fruit shall grow
n uot on earth At last in Heaven.

MEDICAL.

The doctors have had something new
at SciO, Oregon. 10 was u feminine pa
tlcnt with bugs in her stomach. The in
sects have been dislOdged by means Of 4
powerful cathartic, and the patient IS
thGugHL TO be recovering. The strangers
resembled the ordinary bedbug, and were
alive when brought 20 the light. The
lcarnet. practitioners do not seem TO have
inquired whether the afflicted woman
had been ia the habit of sleeping with
her mouth open.
Mrs. Mary G. Burnhan, whose misfOrt-
une of losing her tongue attracted so
much attention two years ago, died in
RoOtstOwn, Friday, July Is. Mrs. Burn
ham had been afflicted for about twenty
years with n bronchial or throat Difficult
ty. Her tongue became paralyzed, and
she gradually lost the use of this member
During this time her health was general
" good. On Tuesday January %, 1874,
she had a spell of bleeding of the tongue
and throat in the forenoon. While at
dinner, being, TO all appearance, chOked
with piece of meat with an effort to
expel II, her tongue fell oat of hermouth.
a council of physicians was held, at
tongue there was a {; ncer, which, en-
iarging, had destroyed that member, as
above stated. Soon after this decision a
new theory was developed, some of these
medical men denying that there was a can
arOid condition OF :he tongue and throat.
They asserted that the tongue had been
destroyed by eatarrh, which had severed
] the nervous connection of the tongue and
throat. paralyzing the tongue, which
was fJ,lOwed by a natural decay of the
/ connections of the tongue. The basis OF
| this theory was the sound condition Of
/ the tongue and the apparent healing OF
the throat and mouth. Mrs Burnham
| felt no unusual pain at the time. Strange
| as IL may seem Mrs. Buruham, while her
tongue was paralyzed, so cultivated 4
control of the other organs of speech that
after her tongue was lost she was able
| to make herself understood by those ac-
/ customed TO hear her. The singular loss
Of the tongue produced considerable as
tonishment at the time, and OccasiOned
no little comment. The death Of Mrs
| Burnham was Occasioned by the same dis
ease that destroyed her tongue. After
the loss of her tongue this same disease
attacked other organs, consuming vital
parts, producing eventually a stroke Of
paraly SIS, after which she was unable L
swallow, and literally starved TO death
Mrs. Bhrnham was able after the loss o.
her tongue, 10 perform her household du
ties as usual up TO this spring, wheI
she commenced to fail. She was confined
to her bed for almost twelve weeks priol
to her death.

THE FALSE sECTARIAN IssUE-THE FALsI
sECTIONAI TSSIrF

Reform is necessary and be effected but by
making the controlling issue Of the election and lift
ing IL above the two false issues with which the Office
holding classes and the party in power seek to smoth-
IL.
First-The false issue with which they would eukiu-
die sectaran strife in respect to the public schools OF
which the establishment and support belong exclusive
g TO the several States and which the Democratic par
ty has cherished from their foundation and is resolved
TO maintain without Partially preference for any
class sect creed, and without contributions from the
treasury T. any.
Second.-The false issue by which they seek TO light
the dying embers Of sectional hate between kin
bred people once unnaturay sstranged, but
united in one indivisible Republic and common
destiny.
