Painless Operations.

The new antiseptic method of surgery
which has but recohly been introduced
intu this country, has been twice success.
fully tried at the Alexan Brothers hos
,,tal, Chicago. during the past two weeks.
In each case leg was ampulated, aud the
patient rapidly recovered, experiencing
no pain whatever from the use Of the sur
gcal instruments. The method Of oper
alton is as follows: The surface Of the
limb to he ampntated is first sponged
with a solution of one part carbolic acid
to forty of water, into the wound. This
makes the operation perfectly painless
and does away with the necessity for us
ing chloroform or ether. The wound is
then dressed with oiled silk, saturated
will, ulphate of Lead, which indicates the
presence OF snsphate of hydrogen by
turning black, and shows whether the
wound is suppnrating, Six layers OF
medicated cause are then placed over the
wound. and the whole is covered with
Macintosh cloth.

DEAR slR-Basey's Circus made its ap.

h'blting in the State. Everybody, OF
course, must go to the show. So thought
one OF our horny-fistod friends, who is
noted for his long and loud prayers.
And when a man with the show gave
him chance to make two and a hall
dollars with one, he felt it would be too
bad to allow such golden opportunities
to pass unheeded. Consequently, he Dor.
rnwed the cash from one of our mer
chants, and, 10 doubt, ielt, from the very
depths of his heart that he would re-
turn to his hom", at night, with his peck.
ct full of greenbacks. But, alas the
contamination of it was, he went to his
place OF abode, that night, without his
expected Greenbacks. But a poorer and
perhaps wiser man than he was before
he went to the show. His brethren are
not pleased, at all, with his conduct !; but
when they call to memory the veracity
of the little phrase, I" To err is human
they feel that he is subject to the laws of
nature, aud they are, therefore, willing
to forgive the past, if he will only re-
main, in the future, in that marrow
path Ef
The same day an attempt was made by
notorious lot Of towards to assassinate
, Mr.. George Homan, while discharging
his duty Mt the Mill as engineer. As
there were seven in the crowd, they, no
| doubt, would have succeeded in their
heinous attempt, had it not been for
Messrs J. r. Finn, William Mccormick
aud William Burgess, ST., who caused
the towards to dispense, and thus saved,
perhaps, the life Of man who is as far
above those who were seeking his life
rs the stars in the heavens. 1t is said
that some of the cowardly set left Ken
lucky to escape the penalty of the law
Tor crimes committed in that State ; and
! rs reward came here since, for one OF
them charged with murder, we are for
ced to believe they are guilty. Nctwith-

POETRY.
Five O'Clock i'm the Morning.

Ii is all very well for the poets TO tell,
BY way of their song adorning,
or milkmaids who rouse, 10 manipulate COWS,
At five o'clock in the morning,
And Of mooney young mowers who bundle
out doors,
The charms of their straw beds scorning-
Before break Of day to make love and hay,
At i've O'Clock in the morning.
But between me and you, 1t is all untrue
Believe not word they utter;
To no milkmaid alive does the finger Of five
Bring beaux-or even bring butter;
The poor, sleepy COWS, if told to arouse,
Would do so, perhaps, in horn-ing;
But the sweet country girls, would they show
their curls
At five O'Clock in the morning?
1t may not be wrong for the man INF the song
Or the moon-if anxious to settle,
To kneel in wet grass, and pop, but alas.
What if be popped down on nettleT
For how could he see what was under bis
knee, -
lin spite of my friendly warning,
he went out of his bed, his house and his
head,
At five O'Clock in the morning?
Ii is all very well such stories 10 tell,
But if was maid, all forion-ing,
And loues should in the clover to pop
At five o'clock in the mornidg:
If liked him, you see, I'd say ''Please call at
three"
If not, I'd dismiss him with scorning;
'aDon't come here, you fiat, with conun-
drums like that,
At five o'clock in the morning"

1t was terrible morning for the in
habitants of Marlpits, one to be remem-
bered for many year. Men, women
and children were among the drown
ed, Mrs. Layton one of the number;
the rush of water had swept her off as
she stood by the open window.
Her remains were found more than a
quarter of a mile from the house. She
was dead no@ she had once been
too dear for either Alice or George to
speak aught of reproach against her
memory. Once more are their hands
lovingly clasped as they look upon the
visage now so calm and still in its cold
and motiOnless repose. A silent, but
mutual, compact was sealed between
them in that presence. which, when
living, would have separated them.
The tickleness and estrangement would
be buried with It's cause.
