half year ending june 80, 1881. The
statement is official, being the amounts

% for the six months pre- ceding the

Leaving or Drinking.

Sir William Gull, one of the most
eminent of English physicians, having
been Intercepted on the subject Of
'leaving off drinking" says: with
regard to leaving off drinking, think
we could, as rule, stop the supply of
alcohol at once without injury. AS to
the existence of cases in which the
brain had entirely gone, from leaving
drink off suddenly, is not that falla-
ciousp May not their brains have gone
from their previous habitsp As to the
alleged case in which q man left off
drink suddenly, and he bore the absti-
hence for year, but was then obliged
to 60 back again, I should say that he
felt desire to go back to it again. l
do not see any good in breaking off
drinking habits by degrees. If you are
taking poison into the blood / do not
see the advantage of diminishing the
degrees of it from day to day. The
point has been frequently put to me by
medical men. but my reply has been:
If your patient was poisoned by arsenic
would you still go on putting in arsenicp
In reference to person who carries a
great deal of drink and does not get
drunk, he may be even more damaged
than a man who does get drunk, be-
cause he may be able to carry his sys-
tenn of daily drinking for long time,
whereas the other man, who was in
capable of drinking 30 much, would be
obliged to discontinue the practice"

String Halt.

This peculiar snatching up of the
hind legs is no doubt produced general
ly by an affection of the hook. The ex-
tensor-pedis seems to be the muscle
most affected, though not the only one,
however, which is disturbed and thrown
into spasmodic action. The producing
causes may be accurately attributed and
confined to two in number--the loss of
nervous influence and volition and the
peculiar construction and articulation
of the hock-joint. If the leg of horse
be stripped after death of its muscles
and the ligaments of the limb remain
undisturbed, and if the limb, both above
and below the hock-joint, be mechanic
ally Strengthened out by the hands of
the operator, the moment he let's the
limb loose from the grasp it will imme-
diately spring back again to bent po-
sition. Thus an imitation of string halt
is produced, the balance of power not
being equally proportional in the limb.
The articulary ligaments of the hook
joint are much stronger than the
muscles of the thigh; consequently the
moment the horse lifts his foot to adj
vance or move it forward under his
body the limb is systematically snatched
up by the power of the ligaments.
Whether this explanation be we'll found
ed or otherwise, the fact is well estab-
lished in my mind from practical ex-
perience and close observations made in
this spasmodic affection of the muscles
that the seat of the difficulty is in the
hock-joint. / have noticed recently
published accounts by some of the
knowing veterinary surgeons that string
halt can be cured by blistering. have
yet to see single cure that ever has
been accomplished by blistering or any
other medicinal treatment. have no
hesitancy in asserting that no treat
ment is of the slightest avail. Horses
afflicted with q string-halt are just as
qualified and able TO perform all kinds
of work or driving as those not affected
with it, and in many instances the spas
modic action of the igaments does not
increase. but remains in the same con-
dition as when the attack first developed
itself.-M y. World.

ASLEEP

In summer.time how fair il showedl
My garden by the village road -
Where fiery stalks of blossom Rlowed,
And roses softly blushed:
ltn azure spires, and garlands white,
faie heliotrope, the suns delight,
And odors that perfumed the night
Wnere' er the south wind rushed.
There solemn purple pausies stood,
Gay tulips red with floral blood,
And wild things fresh from field and wood
Alive with dainty grace.
Deep heavan-biue bells of columbine,
The darkly mystic passiOn-vine,
And clematis, that loves to Irvine,
Bedecked that happy place.
Beneath the strong unclouied blaze
Ut long aud fervent summer Digs
Their colOrS smote the passing gaze,
:. And dazxled every eye.
Their cups OF scented hOney-dcw
Charmed all the bees that DER them dew,
And butterflies OF radiant hue
Paused as they floated by.
Now falls cloud of sailing snow,
The bitter winds of winter blow,
No blossom dares its cup to show
Earth folds them In her breast;
A shroud of white. q virgin pail,
ls slowly, softly, hiding all:
In vain shall any sweet wind call
To break their silent rest.
My garden is vanished dream.
Dead in the waning moons cold beam,
Clear icicles above it CLEAN:
And yeti know not how
My flowers will hear the dropping rain
When Spring reneweth hill and plain,
And then it shall be mine again:
Ii is Gods garden now.
