Do Our Dead Remember?

There Is a land where the sunlight never
Fades from the sky through the endless
day;
Where loved ones meet by the peaceful river
And every tear shall be wiped away
Their voices Join in the blissful singing,
And their hapds DER the golden harpstrings
sweep;
And into the hours their glad fight winCing'
No shadow or darkness shall ever creep.
We know that land is full of gladness,
That soft and balmy is Its air,
They know 10 grief aud they know no SAD
ness,
Pint oh, do our dead remember there:
A, they wander through the gold-paved CITY,
As they stand beside the crystal stream'
IA tbev never think with a tender pity
OF those who have mingled mid mes short
dream?
Do they never think Of old-time greetings,
Or miss the clasp Of some vanished hand!
DO they never long for the happy meeting
with those they have loved in the weary
land?
We know lnelr neaTJs grow H0hOi "NN'Jt
Nor faint beneath a weight of care,
That night comes not, nor day grows dreary,
But oh! do our dead remember therey
Is itnaught to them that our bitter wailing
Rings out for the idols whose feet were
clay?
When a life is wrecked or heart is failing,
Do they pay no heed in that land Of dayS
Does the mother care for the child she cher
ished,
Or the child the mother beloved Of old
Or has the love Of lifetime perished
When they crossed the stream to the city Of
goldS
We know when they crossed Deaths stormy
river,
They dropped Lies burden of pain and
care,
That the "sting of death" is gone forever
But oh do our dead remember thersg

The following communication from
the pen of Hon. James Barrett will inter-
est a wide circle of readers, and we are
very glad to give it a place in these col
umns.-ED.
By an article copied from the Boston
TFdUeIter into the New York Times of
Jan. 81, 1 see that the achievement of
DR.. S. G. Howe in the case of Laura
Dewey Bridgeman is the subject of re-
newed and lively interest now that he is
dead. This has suggested to me that it
might be interesting to many to have
some authentic account of the occasion
and manner of his first knowledge of
and acquaintance with her. The writer,
when a student in Dartmouth College, in
the spring of 1887, was helping the select
men Of Hanover in making the annual
assessments and tax bills. Laura's father
was one of them, and l was in his family
while doing the work, She was then
about eight years old-sprightIy and joy
Gus of spirit in her intense physical
darkness and obstruction, and manifest
ing unusual brightness and activity of
mind. She was about, in doors and out,
with all the freedom and immunity and
exhilarated playfulnass of a child with
good eyes and ears-sporting with her
younger brothers, fixing and taking care
of her own dolls, helping her mother in
various ways, such as putting dishes on
the table for meals and putting up the
chairs-placing the children's dishes and
chairs in their proper number and places,
as well as those for the older persons who
were to be at the tableAS Though there
was no system of communication between
her and the members of the family, still
they were able by extemporizing expedi-
ents to make each other understand very
many things. Her mind and spirits
seemed to be in eager offort to reach out
and apprehend aud comprehend her sur
roundings and relations. In the few
days was there l became intensely in
terested in her-such a spirit 50 impris-
oned and obstructed, only touch and i'm
paired taste being left to her as means
of receiving impressions from the ma
terial world Her condition was caused
by the scarlet fever, when she was some
two or three years old.
On returning to college l told DR..
MuZzy-then at the head of the medical
department-about the child, and he be-
came interested for her. He told me of
Dr. HoWe's interest for the blind, and of
his institution at South Boston, then in
its early beginnings. requested him 10
write to DR.. H. about Laura. He did so.
As result, DR.. Howe visited Hanover
on the occasion of the commencement
that year. Mr.. Longfellow, Mr.. Geo. s.
Hillard and DR.. O.W. Holmes being also
there-Mr. Hillard making the address
before the iiterAry sOcietiss- DR.. frUWe
and myself were brought together by DIR.
MuEzy, and / carried DIR. H. 10 Mr..
Bridgeman's, seven miles distant fsa2R
the college, and introduced him to the
family. He then first saw Laura. This
led to an arrangement by which she, in
October, 1887, was taken in charge by
DR.. Howe, and out Of it has come the
marvellous development of the mind, and
spirit, and character, and capabilities of
Laura Dewey Bridgeman. = WoOdstock

ACORN CoFBER.-In Germany "acorn
coffee" is used, and greatly liked, as a
substitute for ordinary coffee, and is con-
sidered to be very strengthening for con-
sumptive people and delicats children.
The acorns are gathered in autumn, when
they are ripe, shelled, and, after being
cut into pieces of the size of coffee ber-
ries, they are thoroughly dried in front Of
the fire, or in cool oven. They are then
roasted like ordinary coffee, until they
became = cinnamon-brown color. I'm
mediately after roasting the acorns are
ground or pounded in q mortar, to pre-
vent their becoming tough. While the cof-
feels being ground or pounded avery little
butter - aSlded, and the coffee Is then
placed In air-tight bottles. For children.
prepare In the same way as ordinary cof-
fee, using q quarter Of an ounce to pint
of water, adding milk and sugar to taste.
Young children should take it with two
or three parts milk. For adults, half an
ounce Of the coffee may be used to pint
of water. Acorn coffee and ordinary
coffee are frequently mixed, and the de-
coction Is found very palatable. In their
raw state acorns are known to be power
fully astringent, but they lose this quail
ity in the process Of roasting. In some
respects acorn coffee iS preferable to cof-
fee proper, having none Of tie drying prop
critics attributed to the latter.-O Odsseli's

WEBsTER's CLASSICS Webster
said of himself that he made the ancient
classics special study for ten years after
graduating from Harvard College; and
&c eminent jeremiah Smith said of him,
that when they travelled the law circuits
together, he observed that Webster al
ways had some ancient classic author
among his books Of law What a mistake.
The results, as shown in his after career,
lead us to ruminate on the great waste
Of precious time which mistaken Judge
ment led him to admit. If he were a
student to-day, in any county lawyers
office, he would be saved all that hercu-
lean labor, have the ancient classics
secuted out of his head as antiouated
folly, and be shone a much shorter way
to bread and butter if not to solid worth
and enduring fame. A distinguished
author has said: "The greatness Of Dam
iel Webster was more apparent in his
power to state fact to present truth,
than In any other characteristic of his
gigantic nature."-M. s. in the Interior.

HERE is q new and Characteristic
story of George Washington, which has
recently come to light: His personal
friend, Governor Morris, was about going
to Europe, and Washington, along with
several letters of introduction, gave him
this charge; ''To buy him, at Paris, fat,
gold watch; not the watch of a fool, OF
Of man who desires to make a show,
but of which the interior construction
shall be extremely we'll cared for, and

Much TO THE PoIET.-That sharp
critic of men and things, Voltaire, thus
defined an apothecary who in his day
stood in the relation of the physician Of
our day, with the added function of phar-
naceutist: "A man who mixes drugs Of
which he knows little, to pour into a
body of which he knows less, TO cure dis
eases Of which he knows nothing"
