Twas clear that he meant what he said;
His temper-not heated, nor frozen,
And calm was the life that he led.

And said very little of God;.
But orphans were glad at his greetlng,
And every one said-hc was odd

Croup.--Croup requires prompt and
vigorous treatment. or it may speedily
prove fatal. On this account no mother
ought ever to be without ipecacuanha-
wine in the house. Directly the metal
lie cough peculiar to the complaint is
heard, give the child a teaspoonful every
ten minutes till he vents freely. He is
then safe until medical aid can be pro-
cured. He should be kept in a warm
room two or three days, and the simple
cough medicine recommended for child
should be given him. As ipecacuanba
quickly deteriorates in quality, fresh
supply should be obtained every three
months. As long as the wine is clear, it
is good; when it is thick, it is Of no use.

A Yorkshire AnecdOte.

Some years ago Mr.. Peckham, a gentle
man well known and remembered by
many of the tradcsmen of Yorkshire, was
staying at the Unicorn Hotel, Ripon, for
the night, and, after completing his bust
ness in the quiet and respectable old city,
was enjoying cigar and glass with
few of the tradesmen who did business
with him. Amongst other things the
conversation turned upon the subject of
holding converse with the lower animals,
Mr.. Peckham affirming that the thing
was no impossibility, as he himself was
able to hold converse with several of diff
ferent species. While in the act of con-
versation, an old man with donkey and
cart, partly laden with pots, drove into
the yard, and being seen by the company,
Mr.. Peckham offered to bet any gentle
man present half a-dozen of cham payne
that he could make the donkey under
stand what &c should say to it. The bet
being accepted. the party turned out en-
msasse. Mr.. Peckham asked and obtained
leave for a moments conversation with
| the donkey, and handing the owner half
crown for the favor, put his mouth
quite close to the donkcy's ear,and doubt
less covering the act with the smoke
from his cigar, unobservedly dropped the
| ash from his cigar in the poor things
| ear. The sentence uttered was of course
inaudible, but the donkey Instantly began
to plunge, and its owner being quite
amazed and seemingly powerless, the cart
was eventually overturned and most oflthe
pots broken. The disaster caused no lit
tie amusement to the company at the ex
pense of the poor fellow, who demanded
pay for the damage done, which request
Mr.. Peckham declined to accedc to, anc
with his friends returned to the inn tt
enjoy his wine. The hawker was left
swearing and threatening to summon MI
Peckham before the mayor in the morn
ing, which threat he carried into effec
The case, on being stated, caused consid-
cradle amusement, and eventually hi
worship suggested that Mr.. Peckhan
should make the poor man some recon-
pense, and he would dismiss the case
Mr.. Peckham assented, and thanked hi
worship kindly, stating his regret tina
the matter had turned out so unfortunate
| ly for the poor man. His worship desire,
him to inform the court what were til
words he uttered to the donkey; but NJ,
Peckam at first declined, on account Q
} there being danger of giving offence t
his worship, who goodhumoredly replie
that there was no danger at all, and de
J sired him to speak out. Mr.. Peckhan
without further hesitation, stated that h
} told the donkey he was brother to th
Mayor of Ripon, and was "a fool If eve
he drew another pot for any one;" henc

Snow in NORWAY.

It is always with slight feeling of
anxiety that we read about heavy snow
storms in this country, for we know that
they mean, or may mean, the stopping
of traffic at this point or that. So much
the more curious is it, when opening a
Norwegian newspaper, to meet with pas
sages like this: fortunately, we have
had much snow in this part of the coun-
try, and there is good hope that it will
now remain solid ON the ground for the
season." But in Norway the snow is itself
a means of traffic, and that an important
one. When the snow. fails, the lumber
trade, for instance, one Of the most i'm
portant branches of, the industry of the
country, is seriously embarrassed. The
trees are felled, during fall and winter,
and those huge, giant trunks which it
would be next to impossible to transport
in the summer time over the steep, rug
ged ground, where horses cannot be EN-
ployed, are in winter time drawn easily
along on the smooth, solid surface of the
frozen snow. Tied together in immense
bundles, they are thrown down in the
dry river-bed, and when spring comes
and the snow melts, the bundles are car

gates of the lumber-yard. Thus the snow
which to US is an impeachment, is to the
Norwegians an aid, and it is even some
thing mnch more, for it ia, indeed, one of
the great national poets of the country. It
makes the houses so warm and cozy; it
makes the landscape SO soft and SO
mild; and it makes people so merry and
full of new plans and new ideas, for il
brings them together. Neighbors
who, in summer time. cannot visit each
Other because the journey along the bad
roads-which creep in" zigzags through
the glens, along the clefts, over the peaks
takes two or three days, can now reach
each other in few hours, setting out or
their snowshoes or in the light sled ge.
drawn by reindeer. in a straight line
across the gleas, the clefts, the peaks
everything being buried under the snev
Or bridged over by it.

A Little Girls Brave Deed.

A whole band of, robbers was very
neatly trapped III La Carolina, Spain. by
the bravery Of girl of thirteen, who has
become the heroine of the neighborhood.
She is the daughter Of a farmer named
Fueras, and is called Caramlta. The
family consists of the husband and wife
and daughter. The farmer sold some
cattle for 81 500, and had the money in
his house. A hand Ct robbers knew of
the sale and the money, and laid their
plans to rob the house. After the farmer
had gone out with his work. people,
couple of strangers approached the house
a man travel. stained, supportlng-a
woman who seemed unable TO walk any
further. The. man explained to, the
farmers wife that he was going to dis
tant village with his wife, and she being
i'll, had broken down Oh the way, He
asked permission for the sick woman to
enter the house and rest while he went
to find a conveyance TO enable them to
continue their journey. Permission was
granted, the woman taken in, and the
man left. The sick woman partook Of
some refreshments, and the mother and
daughter went on with their work. Verv
soon Caramita discovered that their guest
had on a pair of pantaloons, under the
gown. She communicated the fact to
her mother, unobserved by the visitor,
and the two managed quickl y to slip into
another room, close and lock the door.
The visitor, left alone and knowing that
his character had been discovered, threw
of: his disguise, and ordered the woman to
open the door or die. The door was not
opened, and the robber began to cut
through it with large knife, At length
he hacked hole big enough for his body,
and he began to crawl through it. The
woman tainted and fell on the floor. The
brave girl seized her fathers gun, which
was in the room, heavily charged with
buckshot, placed the muzzle against the
side Of the man, now half way through
the hole, and unable quickly to get either
backward or forward, and pulled the
trigger. There was an instantly dead
man and loud report. The other robber
lurking IN the heighborhood heard the
shot and returned to the house to find his
comrades dead body plugging the hole
in the door and hanging there. Before
he could remove the body, which was
held in the opening by the girl, and en-
ter the room where the mother anc
daughter were, the farmer came with {
force sufficient to capture the other rob
Der. Then they sent for some police t
take charge of the living robber and tn
corpse. On the person Of the dead robbie
the police found two pistols, poniart
and whistle. The whistle was Treasure
now, as there were doubtless more rob
bers within its call. The police sounded
the whistle, and concealed themselves il
the house to await results. The shrill cal
brought four more men into the house
where they were Gagged and irened, an
all five were marched to jail in good orde1
and the dead robber was buried. Little

THE ,s1HMus CANAL.

A special examination into the relations
of the United States government to the
projected Darien Canal has peen made for
the forthcoming International Code Confer
ence in London by Mr.. a. 2. Sprague,
secretary of the American committee, and
his report will claim that the United States
is p%recluded by both national and interna.
tional law and policyfrom claiming exclusive
control over the enterprise. A treaty con-
cluded by the United States and Great Bril-
tain, April 10, 1850, and which the report
says is still in force, mutually guarantees
the neutrality and protection of the then
projected Nicaraguan Canal, or any canal
across the Isthums between North and
South America, undertaken by any parties
upon fair and equitable terms, with
the consent of the government through
whose territory it should run. This treaty
IS said to dispose of the Monroe doctrine"
80 far as such a canal is concerned, the
contracting parties to it, the United States
and a leading European government, unit
ing therein in an invitation to all interested
powers to join in the guarantee of perpetual
neutrality of such a canal and the protection
of capital invested, from whatever sources
and under whatever management. Mr..
Sprague holds that M. de Lesseps and his
company are thus already assured, by treaty,
of the protection of Great Britain and the
United States, and that the other govern
ments, on both continents, will, when
the proper time comes, join in an interna-
tional act declaring the projected canal
forever free and open, and exempt from
attack in time of war, and extending their
mutual protection to the capital and
commerce involved.
