MiIk nndrLin,e water

Milk ind lime water are now frequently
prescribed by physicians in cases of dyspep-
sa and weakness of the stomach, and in
some cases are said to prove very benef-
cial. Many persons who think good bread
and milk great luxury, frequently hesi-
tate to eat it for the reason that the milk
will not digest readily; sourness of stomach
will often follow. But experience proves,
says the Journal Of Materia Meaica, that
lime water and milk are not only food and
medicine at an early period of life, but also
at later, VIXEN, as in the case of infants,
the functions of digestion and assimilation
are feeble and easily perverted. A stom-
ach taxed By guttony, irritated by improper
food, inAamed by alcohol, enfeebled by dis
ease, or otherwise untitled for its duties
as is showh By the various symptoms atten-
dant upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhGa,
dysentary and fever-will resume its work,
and do it energetically, on an exclusive
diet of bread and lime water. 4 goblet of
cows milk may have four tablespoonfuls of
lime water added to it with good effect.
The way to make lime water is simply to
procure few Jumps of unslaked lime, put
the lime in a stone jar, and add water until
the lime is slaked and of about the consist
ence of thin creamj the lime settles, leaving
the pure and clean lime water on the top.

Irish Manner of stopping a Hole.

Our folks have got Biddy of the veri-
tablest kind. She was queer duck and
good-natured as basket of chips. Well,
last Sunday, as we were sitting down to din
ner we found the old cat with three young
grimalkins largely engaged in the nursery
business under the table.
"Blddy," said we, "take this cat and her
kittens and put them where we shall never
see them more" A hint of dreadful import
but not understood.
"Faith sir, that will"
The feline family was removed, and we
proceeded to dine. By and by Biddy rsen-
tered, with an impression on her face that
seemed to say, bedad, ! guess they're in safe
keeping now
"Well Biddy. what have you done with
the old cat and her kittens"
"Be gor, sir. they're safe enough, sure
dye mind the wood house fornist the stable?
Well, put them all in there, and fastened
the door and windies. Then, seeing there
was a hole besides where they might get
out stopped that up too, and 80, you see,
they won't trouble you any more"
We were satisfied av oourse, and we ate
our dinner in peace afterwards walked in
to the yard when we saw the dntcaI old
cat and her kittens at liberty. Calling
Bddy wo said;
"Did you say you fastened the cat in the
wood house 2"
"Faith an did SIR"
"Aud stopped the hole %
ayes sir"
Well, she had, that's fact but what do
ye suppose she stopped the hole with ? sne
had stuck a section of a stove pipe q il
We thought We would split. And there sat
one of the little imps at the mouth Of il iust
as it erawled out Licking its paws, and look
ing as saucy as thunder.

SUNSET.
ny W. II. r,


have watched the sun in the west,
Sinking down through the portal. Of day
Like an angel from realms Of rest,
He faded in glory away.
And long-Then HIS chariot Of gold
Had rolled through the gateway Of night
The heavens in radience untold.
Were streaming with banners Of light.
Thus life, like the sun through the sky,
Moves on to the island OF rest,
And visions of beauty must die,
Like the sun in the gold.streaming west.
But, oh when youths golden dreams
Have vanished like visions Of day,
And In death the red-flowing streams
Lie chill In their channels of clay.
Oh then when life's struggle is past
Its toll and its butden laid down,
May We enter life's gateway at last,
And wear immortality's crown.

THE ROSE OF YORK.

IfLancaster's'brIght rose 10 red
As blood, upon Ne stalk,
'Tis we'll its tendrils should be led
To twine the rose of York.
II, rivals, they on prlncely crest
Have shed their angry blows,
IT'S well that Lancaster should rest
Beside York's lull-blown rose.
The warfare of each house should end,
The jealousies should cease;
The red and white together blend,
To form the flower peace.
For not alone the roses blow
In Lancaster or York,
The land is sweet with flowers, know,
On every parent stalk.
There is no maiden set apart,
Earth's brightness all in her,
Though roses blossom for the heart,
In Yorit ot Lancaster.
And beauty sets the land astir,
And glories in each walk,
Red as he rose of Lancaster,
White as the rose Of York.

Good Signs in Perilous Times.

Ac@A
There is hope for the country In the
ballots of Republicans who abhor the idea
and dread the consequences of putting
Gen. Grant in the White House for o
| third term. The present activity Of such
Republicans 10 different parts of the coun-
try is most promising sign. In the West
men who voted for Grant 10 1868 and in
1872, but who believe with Gen, Hender-
son that even the temporary success of the
Democratic party is to be preferred to
the experiment of a third term, are de-
claring themselves in numbers that sur
prise the promoters of the movement.
The call for a preliminary convention at
st. Louis on the 9th of May, to make
arrangements for a proper organization
against the imperialists, has met with a
general and hearty response. Especially
significant is the interest in the cause
manifested by the German Republicans.
They hold the balance of power at the
polls in more than one large State which
is indispensable to the success of the Chi
cago nominee. They are in @ position to
render their adopted country service not
less important than was theirs in 1851 and
the years following, when they
fought to save the Union.
Here at the East. New York. Phiadel-
phla, and Boston are the centres OF
| Independent movements that extend into
every congress district of the New Eng
land and Middle states. The anti Grant
Republicans do not propose to content
themselves this year with the old policy of
party obedience under protest, They are
fast organising, to the end that their
opinions may be not only heard but felt.
Read the concluding words of a circular
issued in Philadelphia by Republicans to
Republicans: In view of the peril which
threatens the nation, it becomes impera
tive on all patriotic Republicans to declare
unequivocally that, if driven to the alter
native, they will even prefer third can
didate to third term" The men who
talk like this are 10 earnest: they are not
soreheads: they are not strikers for office. |
They know what they are about They
are working for purpose that is clearly |
defined and by methods that are well con~
sidered. Disguised with the intrigues of
the third term schemers, and aroused to |
the real danger to our institutions. they
speak their minds plainly about Grant and |
the politicians and public plunderers |
whose candidate he is. Tbs Sun itself |
does not speak more plainly,
