GLEANINGS FROM THE MUSE.

he printed his first poem in Massachusetts, coun-

he wrote his last poem as a contribution to the

Won MOltke.

General Won Moltke is now seventy
eight, and yet he does not look older
than he did 20years ago. In more re-
spects than one he Is an iron man, hav-
ing an iron will, an iron constitution
and an iron character. He deserves TO
be called the Iron Count quite as much
as Wellington ever deserved to be call
ed the Iron Duke, for he is, if anything,
more unyielding and of sterner dispo-
sition than the great Irsh-Englishman.
He is member of an ancient family Of
Mecklenburg, where he was born, and
where his ancestors had had their seats
for centuries. Soon after his birth his
father, military officer, a regular mar
tinet, left Mecklenburg and went to
Holstein, acquiring an estate in the
Duchy. The Younger MoItke. having
spent twelve years there, has been
thought by many to be native. AT
eighteen he was sent, with his brothers
to the military academy at Copenhagen,
where discipline, almost Spartan In
severity, laid the foundation of his
innexible character. Four years later
he entered the Prussan army as cornet,
and his father soon after losing all his
property, the young man had hard work
to retain his position, the pay of Prus-
sian officers of the lower grade being
very small. Having determined to get

TIE WOOD PATH.

Along the path to yonder wood.
6tar-eyed and fair this autumn day,
Tue asters stream blossomed food,
kind Of fallen milky way.
The golden-rods their borders add
Unto this garden wildly grown.
Like banner OF Sir Galshsd.
With pearl aud gold, and purple sown.
For Autumn blends her choicest hues,
And mixes many precious dye;
The glories of Eer gentan blues
Mate the deep splendors Of her sky.
Aud all the groundlings don their best
Aud brightest ere the trees arrange
flaming red and crimson vest
For the great festival of change.
The very olods with richness CLEAN
Where golden MOSES skirt the track;
The squaw vines, meath leafy screen,
Bears red berry on its back
The pokeweed drips it's purple wine.
The biter-sweets red clusters glow,
The sumach isnnts its danger sign,
The clematis drifts like winters snow
The oaks are strong and grsnder far
Than when June's sunshine gilt the moss
Times 6owery dial, bell and star,
Points out no faintest sign Of loss.
Hid is the warfare and the strife
Deep down In natures inmost heart,
In full perfection Of her life
The seasons glory shall depart.
DO may quit this mortal scene,
Nor know waiting, slow decay;
Md the mild autumns golden sheen
Come Death, fair harvester, and slay.

Hot and Cold baths.

The London Lancet, In areoent numb
er, points out the difference between the
effects Of hot and cold baths. The ef-
iects of the cold bath, 1t says, being
mainly due to impressions made upon
the cutaneOus nerves, the notifications
OF the cold bath largely depend on their
power of increasing its stimulating ac-
ton. The colder the water the more
violent the impression. The frequent
change of water, such as Is found in the
sea or In running streams, Increases the
stimulating effect. Great force of inn
pact, as when water falls from height
or comes forcibly through hose upon
the body; the division of the stream, as
seen in shower baths and needle baths /;
aud the addition Of acids or salt to the
water, all act, It would seem, by In
crcasing the stimulating power which
the water exerts upon the cutaneous
nerves. Warm baths produce an effect
upon the skin directly contrary TO that
brought about by cold water. The GU
taneOus vessels dilate Immediately nn-
der the influence of heat, and although
this dilation is followed by a contrac-
tion of the vessels, this contraction is
seldom excessive; and the ultimate re-
suit of warm bath Is to increase the
cutaneous circulation. The pulse and
respiration are both quickened as iR the
cold bath. The warm bath increases
the temperature of the body, and, by
lessening the necessity for the internal
production of heat, increases the call
upon certain vital processes, and ena-
bles to be sustained with a less expen-
diture of force, While cold bath caus-
es certain stiffness of the muscles, if
continued for too long time, warm
bath relieves stiffness and fatigue. The
ultimate results of hot and cold baths,
if their temperature be moderate, are
about the same, the difference being, to
use the words of Braun, that "cold re-
freshes by stimulating the functions,
heat by physically facilitating them I;
and in this lies the important practical
difference between the cold water and
hot water systems.

The Apple as Food for Man and Beast.

Consume all the apples possible at
home. They are good food, whether
eaten cooked or uncooked. Baked ap-
pies and milk will put rounded muscles
and rosy cheeks on children faster than
any other food, and they are equally
good for children of larger growth.
There is no end to the way in which
apples may be cooked. The old-fash-
ioned apple pie, discarded as 1t Is In
some quarters, is always an acceptable
dessert, and we notice that those who
decry all kind of pastry cannot resist
the temptation to partake ofa fresh ap-
pie pie. Apple sauce is Incompatible as
relish for the tea-table. Plum sauce,
grape sauce, and even peaches pail on
tho palate with constant use; but who
ever tired of nicely prepared apple
sauce? But we have not space to go into
the various modes of cooking apples.
The true way to eat apples, and most
other fruit, is In the raw state. Cook
ing drives off the exquisite but volatile
aroma on which their virtue so depends.
They are more healthful also, without
the addition Of sugar and spices. With
two to six apples eaten each day In the
year we expect our stomach and all the
internal viscera to In good working or
der. One mans experience is net suf-
ticient to establish universal law, but
so far as our observations goes, malic
acid apple juice operates favorably on
most stomachs. The exceptions only
prove the rule. In no case Ia there any
necessity for apples rOtting on the
ground. They are ecellent food for
all kinds of stock. Horses, cattle,
sheep, and swine eat them with avidity,
and the only danger Is that they Will
eat~tOo many if allowed free access to
them. The old notion that apples made
cows dry up their milk arose from the
practice of letting the herd into an or
chard to eat I'D libitam. Or course, they
would eat till their stomachs were de-
ranged, and fever and iiarrhea would
ensue. The same result would follow,
with some notifications, if the cows
were let into II fresh clover patch or
cornfeld, but this does not prove that
clover and corn cause milk to dry up.
The true way to feed apples to cows
and horses is TO give them few at
first, and increase the rations as their
stomachs become adjusted to this diet,
when half bushel II day -and some-
times a bushel, if the Gov ~ large-wil

same time give an increase OF flesh

A MIGHT OF DANCER.

Riding hard and fast, almost as foI
dear life, along the wilds of vast prai-
rie, found myself to my intense as
tonishment, entering upon a struggling
settlement, and pulled up to reconnol-
tire and consider.
That had missed my way was all too
plain; for, on the course that | ought
