PHEBE.


From the century M1ga=ine.
Ere pales in Heaven the morning star,
A bird, the lOncliest of its kind,
Heats Dawns iant football from afar
While all its mates are dumb and blind.
II is wee sad-colored thing
As shy and secret as a maid,
That, ere in choir the robins ring,
Pipes its own name like one afraid.
II seems pain-prompted to repeat
The story oi some ancient i'll,
But PhVbe ! IhGJe sadly sweet
Is all it says, ana then is still.
1t calls and listens: Earth aud sky,
flushed by the pathos OF its fate,
Listen; no whisper OF I ply
Comes from its doom discovered mate.
PhGbe it calls and calls again,
And Ovid, could he but have heard,
Had hung lcgcuIary pain
About the memory of the bird;
pain articulate so long
In uenance OF some mOldcred crime
" whose ghost still flies the Furics thong
Down the waste s ltudes of Time;
Wall of the young Worlds wonder-hour,
When gods found mortal maidens far,
And viii malIEn was joined with power
Loves kindly laws to Oycrbear.
Like Progne, did it feel The stress
And coil of the prevailing words
Close round its being and compress
Mans ampleT nature to a birds
One only memory lett of all
The motley Gro sd of vanished scenes,
lers,-and vain impulse 20 recall
By repetition what 1t means.
Phabe ! is all it has to say
In piaintiyc cadence Der and DER,
Like children that have lost their way
And know their names, but nothing more.
j. IL a type, since Natures Tyre
Nibrateo to every note IN man,
OF that Unsuitable desire,
Meant TO be so, since hie began!
/. in strange lands at gray Of dawn,
Nakciul, have heard that fruitless plant
Through Aiomory's chambers deep withdraw
Renew its iterItlOns FAINT.
So nigh yet from remotcst years
II seems 10 draw its magic, rife
with lougiugs unappeaSea and tears
Drawn f.Olh the very source OF lie.

Origin of Dinhtheria.


"Diphtheria is generated by breath
ing impure air, such as comes from
dark apartments, dirty cellars, cutters,
sinks, decaying matters, pools of stand
ing liquids, and other sources of filth.
1t is usually confined to persons from
two to fifteen years of age. The at
mosphere, the breathing of which
causes the disease, seems to be full of
living things, vegetable and animal,
the bacteria and micocoppins, some OF
which lodge in the throat and form
white spotches, which are distinctive
of the malady, and whose presence
quickly poisons the blood; hence
there should not be moments delay
in sending for a physician, as the
march of the disease is always rapid,
and its virulence increases every hour.
The above is from Halls Journal OF
Health. The theory of impure atmos-
phere, ETC., is all well enough. The
experience of this village is that the
disease goes at random as to clean or
nasty places. 1t has made fatal Wits
to as neat, wholesome, well kept and
clean houses as are to be found in the
county. Its cause and cure are among
the unknown things, we believe, not
withstanding the high authority of
Halls .JOlrudl
