REMEDY FOR STIyGS.

Al this season it is well to know any
sure remedy for stings of wasps bees,
hornets. etc. For the little ones sake
if not for your own keep a box of eat
tobacco near at hand, and be sure that
all know Just vi ere ir cen be found
and how to nse it at moments no
tice.
The instant any one is stpng wet
some cut tobacco and lay at once on
the spot. Hold it there few minutes
and the cure is scomplete. We can not
tell il it is II perfect cure when not ap-
piled within few minutes after being
stuDg. Have no doubt it will relieve,
but doubt If after the poison has been
any length of time in the blood,
though it may remove the pain, it
will prevent swelling: but we do know
an instant application is an almost in
slant cure.
\ little grandson was stung on the
cheek day or two since and ran to his
mother half frantic with pain and
fright A spoonful of tobacco was
instantly wet and held to the spot.
10 five minutes the merry little fellow
was as ready for play as ever.
The excitement had hardly subsided
when neighbor's child stepped una
wares into a hornets nest and was
fearfully stung. An application Of
moistened tobacco was speedily appli-
ed to the numerous spo:s with almost
magical results.
This should be generally known, for
stings are severe for any but terrible
for child. not only on account of the
sharp pain but the fright that comes
with it, and some persons are serious
ly poisoned by them
The sting OF a wasp or humble bee
is not so severe as the hornet or honey
bee; the latter leaves the sting in the
wound, and there is no relief till that
is removed.-Christian Union

Bunny, lying in the grass,
Saw the shining columns pas,
Saw the starry banner fly,
Saw the chargers fret and fume,
Saw the tapping hat and plume;
Saw them with his moist and shy,
Most unspeculative eye,
Thinking only, in the dew,
That it was a fine review
Till fash, not ali of steel,
Where the rolling caisson's wheel
Brought rumble and a roar
Rolling down that velvet floor,
And like blows of autumn fail
Sharply threshed the iron hail
Bunny, thrilled by unknown fears,
Raised his soft and pointed ears,
Mumbled his prehensile lip,
Quivered his pulsating hip,
As the sharp, vindictive yell
Rose above the screaming shell:
Through the world and all its men,
All the charging squadrOns meant,
IL l.,
All to capture him intent.
Bunny was not much to blame;
Wiser folk have thought the same
Wiser folk, who think they spy
Every Ill begins with IL
Wildly painting, here and there
Bunny sought the treer air,
Til he hoped below the hill
And saw, lying close and still,
Men with muskets in their hands.
Never Bunny understands
That hypocracy of sleep,
In the vigils grim they keep,
As recumbent on that spot
They elude the level shot,
One-a grave and quiet man,
Thinking of his wife and child
Far beyond the Rapidan,
Where the Androscoggin smiled
Felt the little rabbit creep,
Nesting by his arm and side
Weakened from strategic sleep,
To thst soft appeal replied,
Dew him to his blackened breast,
And
But you have guessed the rest.
Softly DER that chosen pair
Omnipresent Love and Care
Drew a mightier Hand and Arm,
Shielding them from every harm;
Right and left the bullets waved,
Saves the savior for the saved.
