The Life Clock,


There is little mystic clock,
No human eve hath seen,
That bcateth on and beatetl on
From morning until cen.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep
And hcarcth not sound,
1t ticks and ticks the ivc-long night,
Ana never iunneth down.
Oh, wondrous is that wolk of art,
Which knclls the passing hour,
But art nr'er formed or mind conceived
This life clocks magic power
Nor set in gold nor dcckcd with gems,
BY wealth ana pride possessed;
BY rich or poor, or high or low,
Each bears it in his breast
When lifc's deep stream, mid beds o
flowers,
AZ still and softly glides,
Like the wayclci's step, with gentle
beat,
1t warns of passing tides.
When threatening darkness gathers oe
And hopes bright visions flee,
Like the sul!cn stroke of the mutlied on
1t bcalclh l.cavily.
When passion nerves the warriors arm
For deeds of hate and wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound,
It's kncll is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are SPOKEN,
Then fast and wild it rattles on,
As if with love 'twcre broken.
Such is the clock that measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended,
An thus it will run within the heart,
Till that strange tie is ended.

Fasting as IA Cure for Ulcers.
New York Times.

On Monday, June 2S, the same day
that Dr. H. s Tanner began his re-
markable fast at Clarendon Hall, in
ers' Harhor, Staten Island, began a
somewhat notable fast also. Miss De
hart is about p years old. She has, for
several years been distressed by ulcers
of the stomach, and has applied in vain
to the most skillful physicians for relief.
She was finally informed by physi-
clan of Port Richmond that he could
cure her provided she would abstain
from food and drink for thirty days.
He informed her that the food she ate
stimulated the gastric secretions of the
stomach and prevented the ulcers
from healing. She consented to make
the attempt, and succeeded, it is claim
ed, in going without solid food or water
for thirty-one days She weighed at
the beginning of her fast 123 pounds
Two days after the expiration of the
fast she weighed 90 pounds. Her ply
sicians think it would be fair to assume
that she lost Mt least pound day dur
ing this ordeal. Her system was not
entirely without nourishment, however.
Her body was washed twice every day
with fresh water, and she was provided
with two pounds of beef tea, which
was administered in the form of an
enema every six hours.
During the first week her sufferings
were intense, and her desire for food
and water was almost irresistible. She
was troubled with nausea, and vomited
frequently ~ the end of two weeks
she seemed to have accustomed herself
to the new condition of things and to
have acquired better selfcontrol She
became also more cheerful and less
fretful and nervous. She took little ex-
ercise and spent most of her time in
bed She was closely watched by her
physician, TO determine whether her
powers of endurance were sufficient to
sustain her in the effort. Her loss of
flesh and strength was uniform, and her
condition otherwise was at no time
alarming. Miss Dehart said that she
never lost her longing for food, but that
she did not experience painful uneasi-
ness and longing after the first week.
She believes she could have continued
her fast under these circumstances
week longer. but this was not deemed
necessary by her physician. She broke
her fast with four oysters which she
ate raw Shortly afterward she drank
a quantity of water. which her stomach
rejected. Next she swallowed some
beef tea which was retained without
any difficulty. She then drank a guam
tity of milk, with lime-water On the
second day after ending her fast she ate
a quarter of a pound of beesteak. so
slightly hroiled tnat il was almost raw.
On the third day she resumed her ortli-
nary diet, being prudent merely in
choosing particles Of food. She is rap
idly regalning her weight and strength.
She claims that the ulcers seem 10 have
entirely disappeared. and she is now
hopeful of being entirely restored to
health

The body of Miss Caroline 0dell,
daughter of Samuel Odell, residing ON
Chamock street, was found floating in
the water NJ Crowell's lower wharf
Miss Odell was very respectable lady,
81 years of age, and kept house for her
father. About ten days ago she went
to Amy, Bigelow & Wehber's store ut
Salem to purchase one of the shawls
which the firm had advertised at 80
cents each She went up stairs to the
shawl-room and took up a shawl from
the counter to ask the price. She had
II on her arm, when q saleswoman
stepped up and asked if she should do
it up for her Miss Odell said no. she
wanted to inquire the price of it, and
seeing Mr.. Walter Bigelow coming up
stairs, went toward him, when the
saleswoman spoke up TO Mr. Bgelow
and charged Miss Odell with stealing
the shawl. The lady was astounded ut
the charge and Indignantly denied it,
but Mr.. Bigelow told her that they had
enough of such trash rs that, and sent
for the police. The marshal and off
Ger Heathcote responded. Miss Odell
was pressed to give her name, but posi-
lively refused, as she did not wish it
disgraced as 4 thief. She was then
sent to the police station, and on her
way was recognized by Beverly lady,
who gave her name. She said she was
a sister of Charles Odell. When the
latter was found to be the collector of
the Salem custom house the charge of
Amy, Bigelow e Webber was quickly
dropped, and Mr., Bigelow said he was
sorry. The matter has, however, so
preyed upon the mind of Miss Odell.

cause her feelings to become over
wrought, until the present sad act was
the consequence. She was seen by her
father to 90 through the room at about
8 o'clock, and afterward near the Dane
Street church, as the o'clock bell
ceased ringing This was the last seen
of her until found in the water. There
was an abrasion of the scalp and
severe blow in the face, turning the
nose black, showing that the unfortm-
ate woman had struck something in
her fatal plunge The affair casts
gloom over Beverly, where the deceas-

the lady herself before her death. Mr.
