SIX LOVE LETTERS.

care there any more of those letters?"
When her father asked this question.
in an awful tone Lucilla Richmond could
not say NO." and dared not say EYES, y
but as an intermediate course burst into
tears and sobbed behind her handkerchief.
"Bring them to me Lucilla," said her
father, as if she had answered him, as in
deed she had: and the girl trembling and
weeping, arose to obey him.
Then Mrs. Richmond, he daughters
very self, grown older, came behind her
husbands chair and patted him on the
shoulder.
"Please don't be hard with her my
dear" she said coaxingly. "He's nice
young man, and it is our fault after all, as
much as hers, and you won't break he1
heart I'm sure"
ssPerhaps you approve of the whole af.
fair. ma'am?" said Mr.. Richmond.
"I-no-that is, I only" gasped the
little woman; and hearing Lucilla coming
she sank into chair, blaming herself
dreadfully for not having been present at
all her daughters music lessons during
the past year.
For all this disturbance arose from a
music teacher who had given lessons to
Hiss Lucilla Richmond for twelve months
and who had taken the liberty Of falling
in love with her, knowing well that she
was the daughter of one of the richest
men in Yorkshire.
''It was inexcusable in poor music
teacher, who should have known his
place." Mr.. Richmond declared and hi
clutched the little perfumed billet W hicf
had fallen into his hands as be might 8
scorpion, and waited for the others with :
look upon his face which told Of 40 soft
ening. They came at last, six little white
envelopes tied together with blue ribbon
and were laid at.his elbow by his despairini
daughter.
.'Lock these up until return home thil
evening"" he said to his wife; ST will reat
! them then. Meanwhile, Lucilla is not t.
see this music teacher on any pretenc'
whatever"
And then Hueilla went down upon he
knees. ~
h0h, dear papa!' she cried, "deares
papa, please don't say must never se
him again. I couldn't bear it. Indeed,
could not. He's poor, 1 know. but he is
q gentleman. and II like him 30 much
papa ~
mo more of this absurdity, my dear
said Mr.. Richmond. HE has been artfu
enough to make you think him perfection
suppose. Your parents know what
) best for your happiness. A music teache
il not q match for Miss Richmond"

SOME DAY.

You smooth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say,
you'll think of this again some day
Some day!''
lido not scorn the power of time,
Nor count on years offadeless prime;
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among these heavy locks of mine;
Ay. laugh as gayly as you may,
You'll think of this again some day
Some day!
Some day shall not fesl, as now,
Your soft hand move about my brow;
shall not slight your light commands,
And draw your tresses through my hand
shall be silent and obey
And You-you will not laugh that day
Some day!
know how long your loving hands
Will linger in these glossy bands.
When you shall weave my latest crown
OF their thick masses, long and brown;
But you will see no touch Of gray
AdOwn their shining length that day
Some day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not.
You'll take from these one treasured tress,
And leave the rest to siientness-
Remember that I used to say,
You'll think of this again some day
Some dayv'

A FEW SUGGESTIONS TO HORSE TRAIN
ERs.-Never try to beat colt into doing
thing, for if nervous he may turn out
vicious horse, and If stupid be may become
stubborn. Remember that by patience
and gentleness he can be got to do any
thing that will not hurt him. When the
horse shows signs of shying at an object,
Go not beat him, but lead him up to it, al
lowing him to stand and look as he comes
closer, and after he examines it few
times he will not fear anything of the
kind again. In passing by hedges with a
colt. throw in stones and stop him until he
takes no notice of the noise. Before put
ting on any article of harness, let your
colt smell it, and then rub it against his
head, neck and body. Always start a
horse with the voice, never with the cut
of the whip. In starting, turn a little to-
one side; in stepping when going up hill
do the same.

Watching Ones Blood.


vised for actually observing the circula-
ton of the blood of man. Hitherto, ex-
cept in the case of Purkinje's experiment,
in which an observer can see the circula-
ton of his own retinal blood vessels, the
evidence of circulation in the human sub
ject has been entirely circumstantial. de-
rived from facts Of structure of circula-
tory organs, and from the manner in
which the blood flows from severed
arteries and veins. But by means of
simple arrangement, invented by DR.. c..
Huter, of Griefswald, it is now possible to
witness the actual flow of blood in the
blood vessels of another person, and that
with sufficient accuracy to detect any alb
normality in the circulation. and so to OBJ
tain invaluable assistance in the diagnO-
sis of disease.
In DIR. Huter's arrangement the pa
TENTS head is fixed in frame something
like that used by photographers, on which
is continuance for supporting micros-
cope and lamp. The lower lip is drawn
out and fixed by means of clips on the
stage of the microscope, with its inner
surface upward; a strong light is thrown
on this surface by condenser, and the
microscope, provided with low-power
objective, is brought to bear upon the deli
cate network of vessels, which can be seen
in the position Indicated, even with the
naked eye.
The appearance presented is, at first. as
if the vessals were filled with red injection
But by focusing small superficial vessel
the observer is soon able to distinguish the
movement of the blood stream, rendered
evident by the specialize red corpuscules,
the flow of which, in the corkscrew like
capillaries, is said by Huter to be especial
ly beautiful. The colorless corpuscuies
are distinguishable as minute white specks.
occurring now and again in the course OF
the red stream. Besides the phenomena
of the circulation, the cells of pavement
epithelium lining the lip and their neuclei,
can readily be distinguished as well as the
apertures Of mucous gland.
Besides the normal circulation, various
pathological conditions can be observed.
By pressure quite insufficient to cause
pain the phenomena of blood stagnation
the stoppage of the flow, and the grace
full change in color of the blood from bright
red to purple-are seen. A momentary
stopping is also produced by touching the
lip with ice, a more enduring stacis-by
certain reagents, such as glycerine or am
monia.
Huter states that he has already proved
the great use of 'scheiloangioscopy," as he
calls the new process in his medical prac-
tice.
The variation in the blood flow and in
the diameter of the vessels, the crowding
together of the red corpuscles, the increase
IN number of the white corpuscles, occur
ring in certain diseases, all these may be
observed readily and exactly. 1t will, in
deed, be at once obvious how great is the
Importance Of method like this, by which
AN actual observation of the circulation is
made possible, especially when it is borne
in mind that even the rough and ready
method of feeling the pulse affords val
liable indication of the state of health

A Marvellous Escape from Death
by Lightning.

On Tuesday evening last, during
the storm which ragged over this sec
ton, n most marvellous escape from
death by lightning occurred on the
farm of Daniel Dawson, living four
miles east of Mineral Point. The
facts, as related 20 us by the father
Of the boys, are as follows: Two of
his boys, aged II and 10 years, went
out to feed the hogs. A tree stands
near the head OF the feeding trough,
and the youngest boy was standing,
having emptied his pail, within II
foot and half of the tree, while the
elder was just bending over to emp
ty the pail he had, being, possibly, a
foot further from the tree, when
bolt Of lightning struck the tree
about six feet from the ground,split-
ting open large limb, and peeling
the side of the trunk TO the ground.
A portion Of the bolt seems to have
jumped from the tree, striking the
youngest boy about the waist, on
the lett side, passing down and leav-
ing the body about the knees, strip
ping his pants entirely from his
body, setting them on fire, and leav-
ing the portion which it passed with
scalded appearance. Although
thrown violently on the ground the
boy says he did not seem 10 lose
consciousness more than q moment,
and almost Immediately began put
ting out tie fire on his clothing, be-
fore assistance could reach him from
the house, not over one hundred feet
away. lie relates all that passed
quite clearly; he had complete con-
troll and use of the upper portion Of
his body, but the lower limbs felt as
if clamped together.
The effect upon the elder boy was
apparently more serious. He was
thrown upon his back, but his cloth
ing was not injured, and bears no
marks. He was not brought to
full consciousness Of his surround
ings till about III o'clock. The pail
which he had in his hands had one
hole knocked through the side, and
otherwise showed the effects of tho
Lightning.
The most curious portion Of the
effects Of the bolt, is that of the hogs
feeding at the trough, two smallones
almost at the feet of the boys, wers
killed, and also thirteen large ones,
some Of them full fourteen feet from
the tree, sank down dead as they
stood, never, apparently, moving a
muscle.
Neighbors who have visited the
spot speak in wonder of the freaks
Of this bolt, and all wonder at the
escape of the boys. Both boys are
up and around, although still feeling
sore from the effects OF the lightning.
