Dust and Ashes.

Betwixt your home and mine
Oh, love, there is graveyard lying:
And every time you come
Y onr steps were Ger the dead and from the diving
Y our face was dark and sad
Your eyes had shadows in their laughter
ct their glances made me glad
And shut my own TO what was coming after
our voice had deeper chords
Than the -Eolian harp when night winds blow
The melancholy music of your words
None but myself may know
And OH you won my heart
BY VOWS unbreathed-by words of love unspoken
so that, as now we part,
on have no blame to bear and yet--tis broken
How shall | bear this blow, how best resent it
Ah, love, you have not left HE even my pride
Nor strength to put aside nor to repent it
Iwere better | had died
You came beneath nv tent with friendly greet
ing;
Of all my joys you had the better part
Then when our hands and eyes oftenest
meeting
Y 1ou struck me to the heart
No less a murderer than your victim living,
tan face the passing world and jest and smile
No less traitor, for your show Of giving
! our friendship all the while
Well, let it pass The city churchyard living
Betwixt our homes is but a type and sign
Of the waste IN your heart and OF the eternal
dying
VI all sweet hopes in mine.

Wood Fires.

We grant, as has recently been said, that an
open fire is incompetent to heat houses y but
we believe it can be made such an important
factor in the culture Of children, that have no
hesitation In urging Others to try it In houses
that are wholly warmed by furnace, the family
circle Is likely to become impaired. The children
take their friends to their own rooms, and the
mother rarely becomes intimately acquainted with
their associates. Around wood fire, all naturally
come together; what interests one comes in a lit
tie while to interest ALL and the children learn to
be open and free. The fire warns the heart as
well as the body. A wood fire lit early in the
evening when the children are home from school
is all that is necessary. When the boys get Used
to coming in from the cold and snow to find a
cheerful hickory fire blazing on the paror hearth,
with the room not too nicely furnished for them
to use they will not want to leave 1t for any out
side attractions. The moment the familiar whistle
is heard in the evening, let some kindlng wood be
thrust under the logs. The pleasant sensation
produced by blazing fire, if repeated every day,
winter after winter amounts to a great deal of
happiness in boys life time, and will never be
forgotten 1t is difficult to estimate the value
OF this central gathering place for the whole tami
y W ood fires are not dusty, and when used not
for heat, but for cheer. and only in the evening,
are not costly The moderate heat Of furnace or
stove is sufficient for the paror by day, and but
little wood in the fire place is necessary to make
it comfortable at night. Indeed, the register often
has to be turned off and the doors have to be
closed to keep the heat of the house from rushing
into the parlor The wood fire ventilates, and
thus, not only are the feet kept warm, but the
head remains cool Half a cord of hickory wood
lasts us about month. and we use it on Sundays
after church. and on other days if we have friends
to dinner or the children are to be at home. In
spring and fall an open fireplace is particularly
useful. Every one knows how the furnace is dis
liked in moderate weather, and by using at such
time the wood alone, the desired heat is obtaned
and far more than the cost saved in the coal that

Cutting out a Nerve.
From the st. Louis Republican.

'IN 49,
For several years Judge Bay of this city has been
great sufferer from facial neuralgia and to avail
himself OF any benefit that might possibly result
from change of climate, spent most of 1873 in
California and the last part Of 1874 in Colorado
without any material benefit, and on his return
from Colorado, Dr. Hodgden cut out little over
half inch of the fifth facial nerve and for seven
or eight months the Judge experienced entire re
lief from the disease, but at the expiration of that
time it gradually returned upon him with increased
severity until life almost unbearabe. DR.. Hodg-
den became satisfied that the separate parts of the
nerve had united, and he determined to perform a
second operation and on the 7th inst, at the
idence of Judge Bay, 3220 Chestnut street, and in
the presence of several medical gentlemen, cut out
two inches of the nerve, and removed several col
lateral branches The operation lasted fifteen
minutes, was exceedingly painful, and thoagh the
Judge declined to take chlorotorm or any opiate,
he stood the knife without any hinching. This
operation has been very rarely performed in the
West and from the proximity of the nerve to the
eve requires great care and much skill. The Judge
has had no return of the neuralgia pains, and all
the indications are that the operation will prove
eminently successful, though it will probable be
week before he will be able to leave his house
