Charity and It's Abuse.

Few things are more remarkable than
the readiness of charitable people to be
gulled by those of whom they know moth
ing, accomplished, as it sometimes is, by
something like callousness as to the suf-
ferings of those with whom they are ia
miliar. Circumstances that have recent
" occurred in connection with the detec-
ton of pair Of swindlers, show that the
appearance of an advertisement in the
ssagony column" of newspaper was suf-
ficient to draw from benevolent individu-
ais some very handsome contributions, on
the strength of which tho advertiser lived
for a time in comfort. A wag, recently
dead, who was at the time an officer In
full paw, inserted, in pure joke, in one OF
the London daily papers, an announce
ment to the effect that "a gentleman was
anxious to be supported by voluntary con-
tributions." Absurd as it may seem, he
received several applications, demanding
what were his claims to support, and the
like. If he had chosen to profit by such
means, and had invented a plausible tale,
he would doubtless have obtained money
The charity-a desirs 70 alleviate the
heavy burden under which some have to
suffer-prompts those who answer such
advertisements, | do not doubt. l am in
clined to believe, however, that curiosity
is an equally-important factor, and that
a desire to DC behind the scenes of the
drama Of real life operates, unconsciously
perhaps, in stimulating such impuilsise
! and reckless generosity.

tablespoon after each motion. Add par
agoric, if needed to lessen pain,or check
frequent motions.
Avoid charcoal and every other sub
stance that does not dissolve, or does not
digest. Such medicines do much more
harm than good. Avoid calomel In
place of it, give minute doses of ipecac-
a quarter grain or less. Give it in glycer-
inc, or milk, one tablespoon. In any
stage of the malady, if the skin be hot
and dry, the child restless and in PAIN
from flatulency, give it a warm blanket
bath. A few drops - four to ten-of
spirits of turpentine in one teaspoon Of
warm castor oil will give great relief to a
child suffering from flatulency or collie.
If the child be exhausted by the disease
or is likely to be, give beet and oats cof-
fee, separately, or combined. II its stom
ach win not bear it, give it by enema,
tablespoon every other hour. Avoid
opium in all its forms, paragoric, lauda-
mum, morphine, if you can. Bad cases
make it right to do little harm
to secure greater good. Paragoric
is the best form of opium for
children. The camphor in it often lends

often induces a quiet sleep. As child

may do much harm. The inner lining OF
the food canal is readily disturbed by
varying temperatures, drafts of air, I'M
suitable food and large quantities of " hat
may be proper and useful in moderate
quantities.
The important points to be regarded in
most diseases of the bowels are to keep
the child patient on its cot, give 1t a
warm blanket bath from ten to fifteen
night and morning. Relieve the
bowels of all irritating matters, as curds.
Give it soothing food. Give nothing that
can coagulate or harden in the food canal.
Give mild astringents, as oatmeal coffee.
Avoid charcoal and chalk mixtures that
do not dissolve and are apt to deposit
themselves in the numerous folds Of the
create irritation and make bad
worse.

A picturesque incident is related con-
corning General Chanzy during the time
of his imprisonment under the Paris Com
mune. He was closely watched, and
when one morning he asked tor barber
to shave him, that individual was only al
lowed to enter escorted by two national
guards. The day was dull and the light
bad, and the knight of the basin moved
the genera, about several times, complain
ing that he could not see and that the
guards were in the way. Grumbling, they
fell back little, and the barber began
his work. Presently he observed that he
had never seen man more difficult to
shave, and adding, how hollow your
cheek is Come, general, a Ia Promenade! ~
he thrust his thumb into the generals
mouth to press the cheek out ward. The
prisoner was for the moment naturally
enraged, and was about to protest when
he became aware that some small object
was lying OIL his tongue. The shaving
finished and his visitors gone, he placed
himself in the only position in the cell
in which he could not be seen, and took
from his mouth what proved to be little
roll of paper, on which was written,
keep up your courage; you are not
forgotten this will not last long. Saisset.'
1t was true prediction In Il few days
the general was liberated 10y an order
from the Central Committee.

English Summer.

If one may Judge the climate by tn,
glittcring July, England is land o
sunshine MS well as flowers. Light come,
before three o'clock in the morning, ano
it lasts through dreamy, lovely gloam
ing till ten O'Clock at night. The morn
ing sky is light blue, dappled with SLATE
colored clouds. A few large stars arc
visible there, lingering to OUTAGE the
dawn Coo. winds whisper, and present
ly they rouse the great sleepy old elms
and then the Iooks-which are the low
comedians of the air in this region--be-
gin to grumble; and then the sun leaps
above the horizon, and we sweep into a
day of golden breezy cheerfulness and
comfort, the like of which is never known
in New York between June and October.
Sometimes the whole twenty four
hours have drifted past as if in dream
of light and fragrance and music. In "a
recent moonlight time there was scarcely
any darkness at all and more than once
or twice | have lain awake all night
within few miles of Charing Cross
listening to the twitter of small birds
and the song of nightingale, which is
like the lapse and fall of silver water. 1t
used to be difficult to understand why
the London season should begin in May,
and run through the summer it is not
difficult to understand the custom now.

A SUMNER MOOD.

We said, when wan November days
Had buried all the flowers,
The world no longer wears the charm
OF Aprifs sparkling hours;
A subtle change, nameless spell
Has turned the bloom to mold,
The days are dark, the nights are drea1'
And we are growing old"
But when the vivid foliage woke
Beneath the soft spring rain,
And from the maple boughs we heard
The robins sing again,
With the first note our hearts grew light,
Our lips no longer cold,
Grew glad with Kindred melodies
Can this be growing old?
Rare meaning, radiant prophecies
Each day and evening gave,
All fairy land revived again
In verdure, sky and wave.
The violets on the rivers brink,
The river as it rolled,
Sparkled in sunbeams at our feet,
And smiled ut growing old!
Then listening to the woods low stir,
The rapture of the birds,
In the warm light of natures smile
More eloquent than words,
We cried-"Be ours the heritage
So joyously foretold-
Our youth but slept; our souls are stron Q
There is no growing oldm
Oh, friend, nave eheerl within the breast
Eternal summer lies.
Our childhood's vanished rose is wet
With dews of Paradise.
The river of our JOY runs deep
And flows DER sands of gold,
We drink the wine of youth divine,
We never shall be old

ANATURAL CONCLUSION.

We left the crowded city far behind,
And over hill and valley took our way;
It was morn in early June, and we
Were of together for holiday.
Now on hillside, in a shady spot,
A cool spring Overilowed its messy brim
and rippled down the vale, till, far away,
IL faded on the medow's purple RIM
Still further on, we reached a field Of corn
With tender blades just springing from
the ground;
While overhead flock of noisy crows
Kept watch from trees, or circled shyly
round.
For, near at hand, raised on little mound
An image stood, clad in h~biliments old;
"The silly crowsm said Charles; "If they
were wise,
They'd recognize the cheat and be more
bold.
"Yet confess the scarecrow, as it stands,
Is not il, calculated TO deceive;
Though it would make the pose more ma
tural
To lower the head and readjust that sleeve
Think for moment on that ancient gaTb.
That battered hat may once have crowned
a head
Within whose dome a mighty genius reigned,
That moved the minds Of men, or armies
led.
That sleeve, tricked in the semblanee Of an
arm,
Perehance has held within its warm en-
brace
The form Of some fair woman, fond and true,
With heart responsive to "a pleading lace.
Would that the power were NINE 70 sum
mon here
Him whom my fancy sees in that disguise.
Even as the marble warmed to conscious
life
Before Pygmalion's enraptured eyes"
The figure slowly turned its head and spoke:
You are the chaps that run away, allow.
From the insane asylum in the town:
The keepers out a-loOking for We now"

Deathbed Preparations.
How General Dodge Made Good Bargain in
Mining Stock.

San Francisco Cor. Virginia City Chronical
Apropos of the rise in Mammoth, they
tell capital story about General Dodge.
Some time ago A. G. Brown, a we'll
known operator here, bought / 900 shares
of Mammoth from General Dodge at SO
a share. This was when the Company
was first organized, about eight or nine
months ago, and S3 was bed rock. The
thing hung fire for long time. The
Sierra and Nevada excitment came along
and nobody gave Mammoth second
thought 1t was not on the Board; it
had no value and you couldn't really give
it away. 1t went by the name OF "Dodge's
pup Assessments were levied regular
ly. Brown talked long and loud, and
the street resounded with his curses. He
swore that Dodge bad swindled him, and
by the gods he was going to get even
with that warrior some day, come veal,
come woe
The day before the news of the strike
in Mammoth leaked out Dodge, who
was lying very low at Oakland, sent
telegram over to Brown that he would
like to see him at once. Brown had heard
that the General was at the point of death
and feeling of sympathy prompted him
to respond at once, so he took the next
boat Arriving at the Generals elegant
home he was shown up to the invalid's
G. qber Nobody was there but Gener-
al Dodge and his secretary. The Gen
eral lay propped up by pillows, looking
the picture of gastliness. He was very
feeble-his breath came quick and short,
his eyes were glittering and his hands lay
helpless beside him.
II have sent for you, Mr. Brown" said
the General, with much difficulty of
speech, s'to -that-that--I am very
i'll; and fear / may not get over it.
With view to that contingency-I-I-
have been arranging my business affairs.
Here the General was overcome with
weakness, and pause of five minutes en-
sued to enable him to recuperate. / am
you are not satisfied with
the sale-I made to you of that Nam
moth. Now / don't want--to go-out-
of the-world feeling that l leave any
body-behind who believes that Have
ever wronged--him. surely did not
mean to-wrong you-I believed the
worth the money, and ! be-
lieve-so yet, but do not want any body
say that have got the better of
them. l am-very-ill. | don't know
what-the stock-is worth, or if is worth
any thing-but if you like | will call our
trade off Give me your stock, and | will
give you your $4,000 back" Here the
General sank back utterly exhausted.
In very pity Mr. Brown would not pro-
long the conversation. In few words |
he expressed his sympathy for the Cen
eral; and then, with the remark that
though he did it With some reluctance,
he would accept the offer.
'Antone, gasped General Dodge, faint
ly, from the pillow, 10 the secretary,
"give Mr. Brown check and take his
stock" The next morning at nine O'Clock
every body knew that "A big strike had
been made in Mammoth, and before night |
$40 was freely bid for the stock. To-day
fifty shares all that could be got-Sere
bought at $40 share. General Dodge is
slowly recovering, and on Monday was in

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
save The Straw.

Straw is worth m oney on the farm, first
for bedding animals, second for throwing
into the feeding and barn yards, and
third, if there be surplus, for rotting
where it may happen to lie. All iris of
course with reference to its ultimate val
ne as manure. Yet large class of farm
ers in the West, yearly burn vast quantl-
ties of straw, thus reducing it simply to
its inorganic elements.
English analysis shows that good wheat
straw contains quite as muce nitrogen,
almost as much potash, and three-fourtns
as much phosphoric acid as stable ma
nure of average quality. Yet as these
substances exist in the straw in insolu-
Bile forms, the necessity of its undergoing
fermentation before being applied to the
land is evident.
So far as the mechanical action ON the
land is concerned, straw or other litter
is valuable in its natural state on all our
stiff prairie loans and clays. This me-
chanical division is important. 1t is not
always an easy matter however to pillow
under long straw nicely. If half rotted
however, this objection is not met. If
the straw is put on the land 10 the ex
tent of a ton per acre, as ii comes from
the thresher or after being tramped by
stock as it is pulled from the stack when
feeding, good plowman will find but
little difficulty in managing ii. This
would have considerable effect in loosen
ing the texture of the soil. Every farm
er must of course understand the nature
and capabilities of his soil. Course m a.
nure must not be allied to light porous
soil 1t needs binding, and therefore
those manures, called cold manures, as
the dropping of cattle, are preferable,
while the manure from the horse stable is
proper for heavy SOILS. But to return to
the straw.
Sooner or later the fertile prairies OF
the West and Seth-wcst will need ma
nure, Just as the elder settled timber re-
gions of the eM settled states. do need
and for a long time past, have needed |
manure. Even nov somc OF our timber |
soils need it. AZ / indeed the same may be |
said of some al the older settled portion |
of the prairie region Of the West. The |
way TO keep M the fertility of soil is to
take il in tine and every farmer who
wastes valuable fertilizmg material be- |
cause the lard now may not seem to need |
it, commits error; for just in proportio~
will it, however rich it may be, exhaust !
itself. 1t is cheaper to feed year by year |
With what naturally accumul.ltes, than 70
wait until exhaustion appears, and then
and tediously bring it back |
through long series Of years of nursing
to something of its normal fertility.
