horses feet on the road that ran parallel with
her retreat, divided from it only by low
stone wall.

CHILDHOOD.
The magic days of childhood
Tint fairYlika annear,

The magic days of childhood
That fairylike appear,
And smile in purer brightness
With every passing year
What charm iIlumes your memoryf
What mystic joyous spell:
What beauty, passing wonder?
Not one of us can tell.
1t is, methinks, the conscience
The purer heart of youth:
holy love of Justice,
rare regard for truth
When every wish sincere is.
And every hope q dream
When beautiful. enchanting,
The years of manhood seem.
But now the'world, deeeivingI
Dispels each fairy dream.
The stars of fond ambition
No longer rise and gloam;
And all is Death and Danger
Where Fancy laughed before;
And thoughts of fame and honor
Are crushed to live no moro.
Our dreams are like the yapors
That melt before the sun;
Their coIors like the rainbow,
Their life as quickly run:
Like worlds of golden sunset,
Too gay to live an hour.
That fade before the twilight
And yield their magic power.

Our childhood thus to be.
To tighten care and trouble
OF high and low degree;
To nerve us on to conquer
And bear our future woe,
BY looking back on brightness

How a Young Husband got Weaned
From his Cups.

4 young wife in Michigan had just got
settled in her new home. All seemed fair
and promising, for she did not know that her
husband was a drunkard. But one night he
came homo at a very late hour, and much the
worse for liquor. When he staggered into
the house, the wife, who was greatly shocked,
told him he was sick and to lie down at oncej
and in a moment or two, he was comfortably
settled on the sofa in drunken sleep. His
face was a reddish purple, his breathing was
heavy, and altogether he was pitiable look
ing object. The doctor was sent for post
haste, and mustard applied to his hands and
feet When the doctor came, and felt his
pulse, and examined him, aud found that hs
was only drunk, he said
"He will be all right in the morning"
Bot the wife insisted that he was very sick,
and that severe remedies must be used.
You must shave his head and apply blis-
ters," she urged, cor I will send for some ono
who will"
The husbands head was accordingly shaved
closely and blisters applied. The patient lay
all night in a drunken sleep, and, notwitb-
standing the blisters were eating into the flesh,
it was not till near morning that he began 10
beat about, disturbed by the pain.
About daylight he walked up to most un@
comfortable consciousness Of blisiered agonios.
"What does this mean" he said, putting
his hands to his 6andaged head.
''Lie still-you mustn't stir, " said the wife,
"you have been very sick"
"Im not sick"
"Ob, yes, you are you have brain fever.
We have worked with you all night"
81 should think you had" groaned the
poor victim "What's the matter with my
feet!"

"Well, I'm better now take of the bliss
ters, do" he pleaded piteously.
He was in a most uncomfortable state.
his head covered with sores, and his feet and
hands were still worse.
Dear" he said groaning, 'if should
evef get sick in this way again, don,t be
alarmed aud send for the doctor, and abovs
all don't blister me again"
"Oh, indeed 1 will-all that saved you
we're the blisters. and if you should bave
another such spell, should be more fright
eued than ever-for the tendency L am suro
is to npoplexy, and from the next attack you
would be likely to die unless there were the
severest measures used"
He made no further defence suffice to say
he never had another attack.

economy of the last Democratic Congress is
surplus revenue of thirty million dollars in
the treasury of the country. If one Dem

1t is little singular that those who I'M
dertake to discuss Railroad difficulties
almost universally fail to make the slight
est allusion to the actual cause of trouble.
1t is utter nonsense to assume that the re-
duction of freight and passenger rates has
caused the Railroad Companies to lose
money. There has been little or no redue-
tion except OH through tariffs. Local
rates have been kept up to a most unrea-
sonable figure, and Railroads have made
money. There can be no doubt upon this
point. That the Stockholders have lost
money there is not doubt, but II has been
no fault of the Roads. The money made
by the Roads, instead of passing into the
hands Of the Stockholders, has gone into
the pockets Of Rings, composed chiefly of
Railroad officials. Why cannot lligent
men, when discussing this subject state
the facts1 Are they afraid OF the influence
which such statement might have upon
their business or political prospects? Let
it be made Penitentiary ohense for any
Railroad official to share in any freight or
elevator proceeds, except as a Stakeholder
OF the Company, and see how that will
work.
