A TOUCHING STORY.

One rarely meets bit of more touch
ing romance than is found in the follow
ing story, that comes from Wales:
"Years ago some Welsh miners. in ex-
ploring an old pit that had long been
closed, found the body Of a young man
dressed IN fashion long out of date.
The peculiar action of the air of the
mine had been such as to preserve the
body so perfectly that it appeared
asleep rather than dead. The miners
were puzzled at this circumstances no
one in the district had been missed
within their remembrance, and at last it
was resolved to bring the oldest inhabi-
tant-an old lady long past her eightieth
year. who had lived single in the viii
lage the whole of her life. On being
brought into the presence of the body
strange scene occurred; the old lady
fell on the corpse. kissed and addressed
it by every term of loving endearment.
couched in the language of a bygone
generation. He was her only love;
she waited for him during her long life;
she knew that he had not forsaken her.
The old woman and the young man had
been betrothed sixty years before. The
lover had disappeared mysteriously, and
she had kept faithful during that long
interval Time had stood still with the
dead man, but had left its mark on the
living women. The miners who were
present we're rough set, but very gent
ly and with fearful eyes they removed
the old lady to her house, and the same
night her faithful spirit rejOined that of
her long-lost lover" Church Union.

CONSUMPTION.

Consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in the morning. then,
on going to bed, getting more and more
frequent, with more and more phlegm,
increasing debility. thinness of flesh,
shortness of breath and quickening
pulse. In fatal cases, its average course
is about two years hence the impor-
tance of arresting the disease at as ear
ly stage as possible, and the sooner
rational means are employed for this
purpose, the greater the chances of sue
cess.
The disease is owing to an irritation
commencing in the throat and extend
ing to the lungs,so that their action is
interfered with, and the blood does not
receive sufficient oxygen to purify it.
The first thing to be done is to remove
the obstruction, which is the irritation
or congestion of the lungs. Four ounces
of glycerine, two ounces of alcohol, two
ounces of water and one grain of NOR
phine make an excellent mixture for re-
lieving the cough. 1t should be taken
in doses of two teaspoonfuls every two
hours until the cough is relieved.
The chest, just below the neck, should
be rubbed with tartaremetic ointment
every morning over space as large as
the hand, until thick crop of sores is
brought out then rub the ointment be-
tween the sores to bring out new crop.
Meanwhile the patient should take reg
uIar and vigorous exercise in the open
air. There is nothing that equals horse
back riding as remedy for this dis
ease. If consumptIve were to "live
in the saddle" and sleep out of doors,
taking care to keep the feet dry and
warm, and to live upon good, nourish-
ing food in short. to ''rough it" be
would recover his health in few
months, even if the disease had made
considerable progress. The trouble is
that it requires strong will to carry
out SO severe course, in spite of the
laDguor and debility which disposes an
invalid to quiet despondency.
The most marked sign of lung dis
ease is emanciation; and the most posi-.
tive indication of returning health is
increase in weight.-HaEs Journal cJ

THE LONG EVENINGS.

There are about one hundred and
twenty evenings to be disposed of between
now and the first of May. What are
you going to do with them? {? There is a
world of possibility in the good use of
them; there is corresponding danger in
the neglect of them. If you use your
evenings well for the next seven months
you will be worth more to your en-
ployer. and find more JOY IN your work.
Have you taste for science, and would
you like to know the reasons why GER
tain things occur as they do? If you
have an inquiring mind in this direc-
ton, then give yourself up to the study
of philosophy. Have you taste for
bookkeeping or clerking? Then give
your evenings to penmanship and the
theory and practice of keeping books.
Have you desire to be speaker? If
SO devote your winter evenings to the
study of the art of speech. and you will
be surprised at the gain you make.
Have you taste for drawing that has
never been developed, and do you wish
to train you hand and eye to be equal
to skilled workmanship? If SO, devote
yourself to that branch of the art for
which you have taste. Whatever you
do, you need the skill to write letter
in correct, easy, business-like style,
and in order to do this, you need to
know the rules and use of language.
Now, young men, will you use these
winter evenings in way which shall
fit you to be better men of business ?
You can easily get two hours each even
ing, or four hundred hours. for study,
and that is time enough to educate your
self in the rudiments of any science. or
in the laws of language, or the art of
penmanship, or the science of book
keeping, or the art of drawing.

the streets where the drinking dens are

BLACK WALNUT STAIN.-A few years
ago we gave directions for staining pine
or other white wood a brown color,
somewhat like black walnut, by the use
of lumber. We have since found much
better method. Dissolve an ounce of
Catechu in quart of boiling water,
adding a lump of sal-soda the size of a
hickory nut. Dissolve an ounce of
Bichromate of Potash in another quart
of water. The articles are not expen-
sive, and may be had at any drug store.
To stain the wood work, first paint it
over with the solution of Catechu and
allow it to dry; then 60 over it with
the solution of Bichromate. When
thoroughly dry coat of shellac or 9TH
er vanish will bring out the grain Of
the wood. The solution may be made
stronger or weaker according to the
depth of color desired. Picture frames,
bookcases, etc., made with the scroll
saw from very common material may be
thus treated with most satisfactory re
sults.-Amerscan AgrsculturaSt.

WATERING PLANTs.-From careful
experiments it is found that plants
slightly watered every day often perish.
and always become dwarfed. whereas a
good soaking given twice a week almost
invariably proves beneficial; that thor
oughly soaking the soil two or three
times week is much better than the
amount of water applied in driblets
daily. only sufficient to wet the upper
surface. but not the under strata of
earth contiguous to the roots. In this
connection it is only proper to add,
that cold spring water should never be
used to water plants until it has been
exposed to the sun and air for an hour
or two.

BEFORE THE DAYBREAK.

Before the daybreak shines star
That in the days great glory fades;
Too fercely bright Is the full light
That her pale-gleaming lamp unbraids.
Before the daybreak sings bird
That stills her song ere morning hight;
Too loud for her is the days stir.
The woodlands thousand-tongued delight.
All! great the honor is, to shine
light wherein no traveller errs;
And rich the prize, to rank divine
Among the worlds loud choristers.
But would be that paler star,
And would be that loneler bird;
To shine with hope. while hopes afar.
And sing Of love, when loves unheard.

LEGEND OF THE FUCHsIA.

'Tis this that when upon the cross
The sinless Saviour died,
And the soldier with his cruel spear
Had pierced his precious side.
The holy drops flowed to his feet.
Then fell upon the sod.
When Mary kneeled and wept for Him.
Her Son. and yet her God,
- An angel who was lowering near,
Thus breathed prayer to Heaven:
"Oh, Father. let them not be lost.
These drops so freely given.
But in some form of beauty still
Let them remain on earth,
And here upon this rugged hill,
Give some sweet flower BIRTH"
Then forth from the ensanguined sod
A Fuchsia sprang that morn,
Rich crimson dyed with Christian blood,
Wrapped in his "robe of scorn."
Dropping in sorrow. still it bows
Ever it's graceful head;
Shivering iu the slightest breeze.
Trembling in fear and dread;
For the dark shadow of the cross
Can ne'er forgotten be.
Where all the perfume of its breath
Was spent on Calvary.
