lRON-KUSr AN INCBNDIARY AGENT--ThiS
seems queer notion. but 1t is made quite
plausible by a recent English writer, who
says: when oxide of iron is placed in
contact with timber, excluded from the at
mosphere. and aided by slightly increas-
ed temperature, the oxide parts with its OK
yeen. is converted into very finely divided
particles of metallic iron, having such an
affinity for oxygen that, when afterwards
exposed to the action of the atmosphere
from any cause, oxygen is absorbed SO
rapidly that these particles become sud-
denly red-hot, and, if in sufficient quanti-
ty, will produce temperature far beyond
the ignitible point of dry timber. Wher-
ever iron pipes are employed for the circu-
lation of any heated medium (whether not
water, hot air or steam) and wherever
these pipes are allowed to become rusty.
and are also in close contact with timb
1t is only necessary 10 suppose that under
these circumstances the finely divided pal-
ticles OF metallic iron become exposed to-
the action of the atmosphere (and this
may occur from the mere expansion or
contraction of the pipes), in order to ac-
count for many of the fires which periodi-
caliv take place at the commencement Of
the winter season.

The Last Pine.

BY CHARLES DE KAY.
Where the fsllow-colored hill
Juts against a cloudy wreath
Gray the sky. the ground beneath
White with shreds from winters quill
Holds pine Of giant girth
All alone patience grim
In the ghastly cold, the dim
sined light that wraps the earth:
Like a soldier strictly charged
Never from his watch TO yield;
Long sgo was hushed the field
All his comrades long discharged;
Solid hangs the icy tear.
Numb his arms with creeping frost,
And his senses four are lost
In bitter strife to hear:
Yet unmoyed he keepeth post
Dim of sight but list'ning still.
Lest across the lonely hill
Call the bugles OF the host.
Once upon q silent day
Heayed the tree such breaths profound,
Air was carled into sound:
Thu, the pine WAS heard TO say:
lone by one,
Though they lowered high aud wide,
sank my brotners by my side
Fell away my friends OF youth;
Death on them had never ruth.
one by one
Dropped my warming arms OF green,
Till stand Of branches lean;
Straight the woodpecker may shoot
From my crown 10 knotted root;
All is done.
81 am past.
Once ! cwelt with fellows dear,
Once ! felt the green sod near;
Year by year
In the choir Of our wood
Crashed singer where he stood,
And the coughs that rained forever,
Lowest first, then upward ever,
on his bier,
Me with their wide loss did sever
still the more from things | love
Into this drear air above.
Il might last
Happy, II my shadow east
one deep roof OF solid cool
On wise man, on a fool,
ON the lowest shape that passed;
IL the sun. like this harsh air,
fingered in NV scattered hair:
But no grace from me descends
While | drag 10 useless ends
Life at last"

A CAUTION To EARLY RIsERs.-A yery
curious case recently reported from St.
Mary's Hospital may serve as valuable
caution TO early risers and to conscientious
publicans. The man had completely lost
the use Of his upper extremities, while his
voice was reduced to the merest whisper.
On being questioned, he stated that as he
usually finished his work just as the public
houses opened, he always had the very
first glass of beer or gin that was served
in the morning-that is to say, the liquor
which had remained all night in the draw
pipe in contact with the lead.
His gums showed the well known blue
line indicative of lead poisoning, and 9TH
er conflrmatory symptoms existed which
need not be detailed here. Some of the
gin which he drank every morning having
been procured and tested, gave 1-43Oth Of
grain per fluid ounce. He was ultimate
ly cured by the use Of iodide of potassium
and galvanic baths.

A VERITABLE MOTHER IN ISRAEL
Judge L. W. Turley, of Williamson, lett
Franklin recently to attend family
reunion at the home of his mother, on
Holston River, in Granger County.
She is in her eighty-ninth year and has
not taken dose Of medicine in upwards
of fifty years. She is the mother OF nine
children, six sons and three daughters,
all yet living, the youngest forty-seven
and the oldest sixty-four years old.
They were all with her on the 25th for
the 1irst time in thirty-eight years, The
most remarkable fact OF all was, she and
her descendants number precisely one
hundred living souls, embracing four
generations. She was brought to the
banks of the Holston by her father,
Daniel Taylor, in 1795, and has lived
there ever since. She is in fine health
and spirits, and has amemory rich with
"reminiscences of early frontier life.
While her children all use spectacles, :,
she uses the needle deltly and skilltully
with her natural eyesight.--L Nashville
