THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.
ny CHARLES q. LELAND.

My lord rides through his palace gate
My lady sweeps along in state,
Tho sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying
The minstrel harpeth msrrily,
The sailor plows the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without fear;
But fall to each whator'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth checrily the sword,
Priest proacheth pure the holy word,
Dame Alice worketh broidory well,
Clork Richard tales Of love can tell,
The tap-wife sells her foamlng beer,
Dan Fisher fishoth in the mere,
And courtiers RUNE, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine;
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work Is done, bet here or there,
And we'll man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.

So many are drowned from week to week
that few directions for resuscitating per.
son may not be inappropriate. The follow
ing are given as authority:
|. Lose no time. Garry out these direc.
tions on the spot.
IL. Remove the froth aud mucus from
the mouth and nostrils.
Ill. Hold the body, for few seconds
only, with the head hanging down, so that
the water may run out Of the lungs and
windpipe.
W. Loosen all tight articles Of clothing
about the neck and chest.
V. See that the tongue is pulled forward
if it falls back into the throat. BY taking
hold of it with a handkerchief it will not
slip.
VI. If the breathing has ceased, or near "
so, it must be stimulated by pressure OF the
chest with the hands, in imitation Of the nat.
ural breathing; forcibly expelling the air
from the lungs, and allowing it to re.enter
aud expand them By the elasticity Of the
ribs. Remember that this is the most i'm.
portant step Of all.
To do it readily, lay the person on his
back, with cushion, pillow, or some firm
substance, under the shoulders then press
with the fat of the hands over the lower
part of the breast-boue and the upper part
of the abdomen, keeping up a regular repe.
tition and relaxation Of pressure twenty or
thirty times minute. A pressure of thirty
pounds may be applied with safety to a
grown person,
VII. Rub the limbs with the hands, or
with dry cloths, constantly, to aid the circu.
lation aud keep the body warm.
VIII. AS soon as the person eau swallow,
give tablespoonful of spirits 10 hot water,
or some warm tea or coffee.
TX. Work deliberately. Do not give up
too quickly. Success has rewarded the
efforts oil hours.

A Bit of Romance,

now GOV. HAYES MET AND WON HIS WIFE.
After Rutherford b. Hayes graduated at
the Harvard law school in 1919, he com.
menced the practice Of law in Fremont, Ohio,
and was considered brilliant, rising young
man. He was fine appearing, intelligent,
and handsome, and as it was well UNDER
stood that he was the heir OF his bachelor
uncle, Sardis Birchard, a well-known banker
and merchant of the town, young Hayes was
considered good catch by mothers all over
the state, who had manageable daughters.
In 1849 or 1850, young Hayes visited his
mother at his birthplace, Delaware, Ohio.
Delaware was the seat Of the celebrated Ohio
Wesleyan University, Methodist institu-
ton, used extensively as female college,
which stood in the midst Of the town in the
centre Of large and beautiful park. The
feature of this ground is its immense spring,
which gushes out Of the earth in huge jet,
cool and sparkling, furnishing pure water to
all who come. Around this spring seats
have been arranged and tastefully laid.out
little flower beds embellish it. In the even
ing this is most popular spot.
Young Hayes, in company with other
young men, used to go to this spring in the
evening, generally choosing their limo when
the University girls came also. Among the
bevy of young ladies was one in particular
who attracted Hayes attention. She was
sparkling, bright and witty, aud the park
always rang with the echo Of her merry
laughter when she came to the spring. This
young lady was remarkable for her long
black hair, dark eyebrows, pearly white
teeth and beautiful eyes, and was famous
for her laughter, and, Of course was leader
amoug the girls of her school. Before know
lug her name, the young lawyer fell in love
with her, aud he made up his mind that the
gay laughing girl he met at the college spring
evening after evening was the one he was
looking for as his wife and future compau-
ion in life, and so he opened his heart to his
uncle and mother.
la the course of time the lawyer and lady
were introduced, and she turned out to be
Miss Webb OF Chillicothe, Ohio, de-
scendant Of most excellent family. The
love engendered at the spring rponod into
true and honest affection, which was recip.
rocated by the lady, who, in due course OF
time, became Mrs. Hayes. 1t was a true
love match, and happy union it has proved
Mrs. Hayes has done much toward making
Gov. Hayes popular. She Is modest and
retiring, with a rare faculty for entertain
ing company. Her virtues are extolled by
all who know her. She will prove an orna.
ment to the White House.

WRECKS.
by GRACE ArHERroN.

Sad wrecks Of life and love and hope
Tiding their phantom forms
Amid the rocks with seasweed streWn,
Or driven before tho storm,
Rudderless, deckless and sailess
Darksome the hull and keel
with shadowy hands uplifting
The cordage Of the reel.
Lone wrecks upon the ocean surge,
Swaying before the blast,
Where the pitlleSs, frozen rain
Falls Ger so cold and fast.
So lone, so drear, the wild sea gulls
Fly past with dismal cry,
While homewaId bound the mariners
Sail quickly, swiftly by.
Wild wrecks scudding, scudding afar,
Aimless, anehorloss, droar,
While phantom forms arc pacing still
The airy, dectless gear
And while their chilling laugh rings forth,
Defiant and forlorn,
The struggling wrecks are borne beneath
The bright waves Of the morn.

The CASH System.

A family living on Franklin street,
numbering seven or eight persons, are
nearly all hard drinkers, and all of them
patronize one saloon. A day or two ago
the saloon-keeper found that the father
was owing him four or five dollars, and
he determined to shut down on the credit
system. When the topper next called in
he was informed of the change of base.
He received the news coolly, asking:
"Don't all my family drink here2'
"They do, was the answer.
"And don't all my family seem tolove
me?"
"They do

How the Mouths of Army Officers We're
Closed by BeIknap.

Gen. Custer, who was recently exam
ined by the Congressional Committee
on War Department Expenditures. gave
some interesting testimony touching
BelHnap's traffic III post traderships. In
answer to the question, s'Why it was
that you and other army officers have
not given information of these abuses on
the frontier, of which you have testi-
fed 2" answered: "Because of an or
der, dated March Is, 1873, as follows /:
First, no officer, active or retired, shall,
directly or indirectly. without being
called upon by the proper authorities,
solicit, suggest, or recommend action by
members of Congress for or against
military affairs. Second, all petitions
to Congress by officers relative to sub
iects of military character will be for
warded through the General of the
Army and the Secretary of War, for
their action and transmittal. Third, an
officer visiting the seat of Government
during a Congressional session will,
upon his arrival, register his name at
the Adiutant- generals Office, as now re-
quired, and, in addition, address letter
to the Acknowledgement of the army, re-
pun HOOO VI oAaSA OAAO OAhAC oA1"O
will be embraced in his visit, and the
authority under which no ie absent from
his command or station, and the pur-
pose or object SO recited will be the
strict guide OF this officer during his
STAY" Gen. Custer proceeded to say
that this order closed the mouths Of all
army officers with regard to the abuses
that existed on the frontier. Officers
knew that if they sent complaints to
Congressman, through the Secretary OF
War, they would be pigeon-holed, and
the officers would be pigeon-holed too.
It was generally understood in the army
that violation of this order would be
apt to cause the officer to lose his com
mission. Gen. Custer said that he was
satisfied that the object of the order was
to cover up the doings of the Secretary
of War
