According to the Journal of Ma
terra Medica, there is serious danger
lurking in the covering employed for

such danger has been confirmed by
the occurrence Of numerous cases Of
child sickness among those who have
been carried about in the little yehic-
les that are covered with this cloth,
the symptoms being invariably those

The colored race in America con-
tinues to increase and multiply, but
it also continues to die more rapidly
than it ought. A medical man of
Nashville has prepared a table of
mortuary statistics showing the re.
Iative death rates among the whites
and colOred inhabitants of the priG-
cipal Southern cities, and from these
figures it appears that the mortality
among the blacks is about seventy
five per cent. greater than among
the whites. In Memphis the death
rate among the whites isD18.O6 per
thousand, while the colore6 breth.

THE GOLD THAT WEARS.

Weparted one eve at the garden gate
When the dew was on the heather,
And promised my love to come back TO her
Ere the pleasant autumn weather.
That we twain might wed
When the leaves were red,
And live and love together.
She cut me tress from her nut-brown hair.
As kissed her lips of cherry,
And gave her ring Of the old-time gold.
With stone like the mountain berry
As clear and blue
As her eyes were true
Sweet eyes, so bright and merryi
the wealth of my love is all have
To give you," she said, in turning:
The gold thnt wears-likc the radiant stars
In yonder blue vault burningY"
And took the trust
As mortal must
Whose soul for love is yearning.
Fate kept us apart for many years,
And the blue sea rolled between us,
Though Kissed each day the nut-brown tress,
And made fresh vows TO Venus
I'LL sought my brde,
And Fate defied,
That had failed from love to wcsn us.
found my love at the garden gate
When the dew was on the heather,
And we twain were wed at the little kirk
In the pleasant autumn weather;
And the gold that wears
Now soothes my cares,
As we live and love together.
