Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state OF the pulse in
health then by comparing it with what
it is when he is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency OF his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse OF each
child-as now and then a person is born
with peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and
the very case in hand may be of that pc
culiarity. An infants pulse is one hun
dred and forty; a child of seven, about
eighty; and from twenty to sixty years it
is seventy beats minute, declining to
sixty at fourscore. A healthful grown
persons pulse beats seventy times in s-
minute; there may be good health at
sixty; but if the pulse always exceeds
seventy there is disease; the machine
is working itself out, there is fever or
Inflammation somewhere, and the body
is feeding on itself; as in consumption,
when the pulse is quick, that is, over sew
enty. gradually increasing with decreased
chances of cure until it reaches one hun
dred and ten or one hundred and twenty,
when death comes before many days.
When the pulse is over seventy for
months, and there is slight cough, the
lungs are affected.

Shadows.

When the children are hushed in the nursery
And the swallows sleep in the caves,
And the night wind is murmuring secrets,
Apart to the listening leaves;
Then go to the inner chamber,
That was closed from the dust of day,
And gently undraw the curtain,
Where my h. lest treasures lay.
Sweet splris that may not slumber
Cool shadows from lights now gone;
And the echoes of voices sounding,
All sounding for me alone.
And, bending among the others,
One echo is softer yet
One shadow is cooler, deeper,
And my dimming eyes grow wet.
For the image 1 gaze on longest,
Is the image that blessed my youth
The angel that lit my journey,
With her lamp of love and truth.
And dearer it grew-now Gtarer!
Till l watched ii wan and fade;
And my angel said parted,
"Be patient-be not afraid"
And / ask for a patient wisdom,
As journey my way alone,
Till l tread on the golden threshold
OF the heaven where she has gone.
When the children are huShed in the nursery,
And the swallows sleep in the caves,
And the night wind is murmuring secrets
Apart to the listening leaves.

Where the Old Folks Lived and Died.
BY DAVID BARKER.


l never shall tell who the old folks were;
'Tis a wasting of time and breath
To give you the name of the humble pair
Who have passed through the courts OF death.
But the cot on the lot on the top of the hill,
Near the spot where just have cried
'Tis the lot where the old folks toled and lived,
And the cot where the old folks died
Is dearer far to my weary heart
Than the dearest spot of earth
For that was the cot on the lot on the hill,
Where the old folks gave me birth.
There's slab near the cot on the lot on the hill
That will tell to the traveller there
When the old folks passed through the gates of
death,
And the names of the humble pair,
When tire of the tolls and the cares of my life,
Oh then, at the spot where cried,
Near the cot let me Sleep on the top of the hill,
Cuddled down by the old folks side.

The Cattle Train.

Shut in from pure and boundless air,
That lately round them flowed,
From wanderings free in pastures fair,
They come hapless load.
Close huddled, on their weary feet,
They waver to and fro,
AS thundering on, with boundings fleet,
Their cruel prisons go.
Their great. good eyes look mildly out
Between the wooden bars,
AS clattering DER the long, long route
Sweep on the freighted c-rs,
Past pastures green as those they knew,
Past cattle feeding there.
Past tempting streams and rivers blue,
Past all things dear and fair.
Yes past for these are all things bright;
Tnrir day of doom has come;
Farewell to life. farewell TO light,
Ye sentient beings dumb.
Yet we who speak your wild, mute woe
Are scarce more bleSt than ye;
Our hope but strives less dark to show
The death ye do not see.
