The question was such strange one
that Theodore's surprise caused him

SONG OF THE FLAIL.


In the Autumn, when the hollows
All are filed with flying leaves,
And the colonies of swallows
Quit the quantity succeed caves,
And silver mantle glistens
Over all the misty vale,
Sits the little wife and listens
TO the beating of the fail,
To the pounding of the fail
by her cradle sits and listens
To the fapplng of the fail.
The bright summer days are over.
And her eye no longer sees,
The red bloom upon the clover
The deep green upon the trees:
flushed the song of the finch and robin,
With the whistle of the quail:
But she hears the mellow throbbing
OF the thunder of the fail.
The low thunder of the fail
Through the amber air the thrOhblng
And reverberating fail,
In the barn the stout young thresher
STOPPING stands with rolled up sleeves.
Beating out his golden treasure
From the ripped and rustling sheaves:
oh. was ever knight In armOr-
Warrior all in shining mail
Half so handsome as her farmer
AS he plies the flying fail,
AS he wields the flashing fail?-
The bare-throated, brown young farmer,
AS he swings the sounding ilaily
All the hopes that saw the sowing,
All the sweet desire of gain.
All the joy that watched the growing
And the yell0wing of the grain.
And the love that went to WOO her.
And the faith that shall not fail
All are speaking softly, to her
In the pulses of the the fail,
OF the palpitating fail
Past and future whisper to her
In the music of the fail.
In its crib their babe is sleepiu"
And the sunshine from the door
All the afternoon is creeping
Slowly round upon the floor:
ANA the shadows soon will darken.
And the daylight soon must pale.
When the wife no more shall hearken
To the tramping of the fail,
10 the dancing of the fail
When her heart no more shall hearken
To the football of the fail
And the babe shall grow and strengthen,
BE maiden, be wife,
While the moving shadows lengthen
Round the dial of their life:
Theirs the trust of friend and neighbor,
And an age serene and hale.
When machines shall do the labor
OF the strong arm and the fail,
Of the stout heart and the fail
Great machines shall do the labor
or the good old-fashiOned fail.
But when. blessed among women,
Ana when, honOred among men.
Iney LOOK round them, can the hrimming
or their utmost wishes then
Give them happiness cOmpleter?
And can ease and wealth avail
10 make any music sweeter
Than the pounding of the fail?
On. the sounding of the fail!
Never can be music sweeter
Than the beating of the fail!

A Specific for the whooplnu Cough.

II has long been known that exposure

a speedy relief to persons suffering with
the whooping cough; but how or why
such a result 10 brought about has not
been shown until OF late. In explana-
ton we give the following paragraph.
which We clip from the columns OF q
contemporary: "a sure cure" This 10

Page, Of Stanley. New Jerssy-not by
way OF professional advertisement, but
simply a. an item OF information to the
peopls-iu reference to that distressing
disease, the whooping cough. Its only
q short time since the cause OF the com.
plant was discovered. The eminent
microscopists, Henry Mott, Phi. D., and
Edward Curtis. II. D., find that its seat
is ct the root Of the tongue, where count.
less bacteria are generated. which pro-
duce spasms. Here Is what MIR. Page
tells us about his sure cure: A scientist
in Providence Il. l., examined the liquid
hydro. carbon deposited in the bottom OF
the purifying boxes, used OF gas works,
and separated c~resolene (C6 H6CH30)
"a substance analogous to phenol. he
vsporized the e~resolene in q closed room,
in which there was o patient suffering
from whooping cough. Recovery was
effected in two days. Many other trials
have been made. and with nearly unva-
rying success. No cough or unpleasant
symptoms remain. The patients are re-
stored to perfect health. Eminent ply
sicians have pronounced this discovery
Of equal importance with that OF quinine.

nrl,s Report.

WASHINGTON. April a. Senator But.
Ter ID reported to have been very severe
In the caucus on Hill and those sup
porting him in the attempt to unseas
Kellogg. Mr.. Butler replied with much
spirit to the intimation that to fail to
uphold the committee was cowardioe.
BE said he had left q leg upon the battle
field % proof Of his readiness to uphold
what he believed to be right. Il had
been charged by the Republicans that
the Democratic caucus ruled the Senate,
and the Brigadisrs ruled the caucus. In
this case the B~rigadisrs did intend to
rule the caucus, and their influence
would be exertsd to prevent the party
from committing itself to the Hill report.
In this connection o curious fact has
come out that some OF the strong Grant
Senators are much disappointed at the
action Of the Democratic caucus, because
they believed that the unssating Of Kel.
loRg ~ Q part Of the Democratic attempt
to seize the Senate would help the Grant
movement by deepening the impression
that the necessity Ia great for . strong

him how much truth there was In the
story. He said there was no truth at al,
that to his own knowledge Mr.. Tilden

not think he would write enc. He said,
further, that Mr.. Tilden was carrying
everything before him, notwithstanding
the opposition that was finding express
