Silence were best, If hand in hand,
Like friends, sea sundered Peoples met
But words must wing from land to land
The utterance of the hearts regret,
Though harsh on ears that Sorrow thralls
Zen sympathys low accent falls.
Salt leagues that part us check no whit,
What knows not bounds of time or space
The homestead feeling that must knit
World-seattered kin in speech and race,
None like ourselves may well bemoan
Columbia's sorrow; It's our own.
\ sorrow of the noble sort,
Which love and pride make pure and fair
A grief that is not misery's sport,
4 pain that bows not TO despair;
Beginning not in courtly woe.
To end in pageantry and show.
The great Republics foremost son
Struck foully, falls but they who mourn
Brave life cut short, good work half done,
Yet trust that from beyond Deaths bourne
That blamelcss memory's gifts may be
Peace, Concord, Civic Purity.
Scarce known of us till struck for death,
lie stirred US by his valient fight
With mortal pain. With bated breath
/ We waited tidings morn and night.
The hope that's nursed by strong desire,
Though shaken often, will not tire
And now our sables type, in truth,
\ more than ceremonial pain,
We send, Court, Cottage, Age and Youth,
From open hearts across the main,
Our sympathy--it never sweryed-
To Wife he loved, to Land he served.

w3man's Ways.

No man attacks the reputation of
a youth as women attack that of a
girl. The man who should come
into his club and whisper about
damning stories of his friends young
son. who should accuse him of dis
honorable doings, such as would
ruin the lads character as thorough
ly as the charge of immodesty, flirt-
ing with married men, and the like
ruin that of a girl, would soon have
room to himself But women over
the tea-table gather up the crumbs
of scandal with relish and apprecia-
tion, and even the mothers of girls
are not ashamed to believe and re-
peat stories against their dear friends
daughters which may have no foun-
dation in fact, and which, even il
true, they have no means of proving
and testing.

Perspira;ion.

While the body is constantly dy-
ing, old particles of bone, muscle,
nerve, etc, being supplanted by
new, made by the daily food, the
flow from the body of this efIete
matter, by the way of 100000
openings or pores we call perspira-
tion. These are the scarengers OF the
system. carrying off about three
fifths of all the food and drinks con-
sumed, this perspiration being to 4
certain extent poisonous. When
this is retained-in what we call 4
cold, or closing the pores-the body
ceases to be purified in nature way,
soon becoming very impure Hence
the ecommotion, the fever and infam-
nation, which we call disease, or
the effort of nature to do the best
that she can under the circumstan-
ces. OF course the heat results
from burning the rubbish or dead
apd waste matter, that which should
have passed off through the pores-a
real combustion, that the system
become freed of this retained poison
Gus waste.
Since most of our accute diseases
result from those colds, it becomes
matter of vital importance to avoid
them, or to remove them by sweat
ing as soon as possible, by friction
of the surface-by flesh brush, by
exercise, extra clothing, Turkish
bath, or It's equivalent-anything to
open the pores and equalize the cir
culation.

Deadly Dust.

DIR. Leidy, of Philadelphia, be-
lieves that the dust of our cities is
serious source of disease. when
we reflect" he says. that this is the
dried and pulverized dirt and filth
of our streets, derived from all kinds
of refuse matter, the dangerous quail
ity may be suspected, if they are
not clearly obvious. Conveyed by
the winds, it is diffused everywhere,
and settles upon and adheres to
everything. We inhale it, drink it
and eat it with our food just brought
from the market or provision store.
If examined with q microscope, it
lis found to TEEN with particles of
dust, consisting of fine sand, bits of
hay, straw, filaments of cotton from
old paper and rags, wood fiber, hair
and scurf scales Of men and beasts,
starch grains, spores, etc. Recent
investigations render it probable
that dust contains the germ OF de-
composition, gangrene, and conta-
gious diseases"

Education OF Deaf-yfures.

The moral education is of special
importance. Parents must not fall
into this error of thinking that, with
respect to the principles observed in
the education of ordinary children,
an exception ought to be made in
the case of a deaf mute child. Just
like other children the latter must
early be taught the difference, be-
tween right and wrong; it must
know what it may do and what it
may not do; an occupation must be
given to it suited to its age, and it
must be taught cleanliness and neat
ness. These are the points which
are most frequently neglected in the
education of deaf-mute children, the
greatest leniency being shown them,
all their wishes being fulfilled, and
all their acts deserving punishment
remaining unreproved. Such inju-
dicious treatment produces peculiar
tiles in the character of deaf mutes
which are supposed to exist in all
of them. When occasion requires
it the deaf mute child must be treat
ed with the same severity as an or
dinary child would be in order to
keep it right. If it has brothers and
sisters, the parents must be very
careful not to fall into the error ol
petting it, perhaps out of pity, more
than the other children. As it gets
older constant and regular occu.
patton must be given it, for if this is
neglected it win get used to laziness
and get fond of it just as easily as
any other child.-Dsaf-mutism-Dr
Hartmann.

A Thicrs Prayer.

We recently overheard an old
darkey praying over bagoi corn he
had just stolen in this wise:
"Oh, Lordy. God, Pse jes been an
stole bushel of corn from dat mean
man, John Williams patch, d-r
an / axes your pardon. He's got
plenty, an SO has /, but he wouldn't
pay me for my work, SO good Lord

keep dem from finding out, for
wants to steal some more, and when
/ goes to steal help me to get some
thing nice, like you did dem chill
dren of Isralum when you stolt
dem from de bondage of Egytium
and Ill be mighty glad. And, oh
Lordy, God, if dey find out dat
stole dis corn help me to prove da

it to me, for Christ's sake. Amen.

Ahcr Chestnuts.

ANY chestnuts round here ?'
asked one of three boys who met an
aged, benevolent looking farmer out
in Montgomery county.
The old man hesitated. "Iou
don't want to steal 'em?" he asked
''Oh, no. We just want to find
out"
"Well, there's a few trees back
there but if / thought you wanted
to steal them, / wouldn't have told
you, for the owner has gone to town
But you're bright, honest looking
boys"
The boys blushed with the pride
of conscious goodness. when will
the owner be back ?" swell, not
before dark, l reckon"
The boys respectively thanked the
old man, waited till hegot out ofsight,
jumped the fence, and were soon
shaking down the burrs. The shak-
ing was easy, but the opening of the
burrs was more difficult and un.
pleasant. At las. the boys had a
splendid pile of handsome brown
nuts on the ground, and they
prepared to put them in the bags
they brought with them.

who stood by the fence, Deaming

longer. If you'll hurry, though, ]

As the boys looked back from the
railroad fence they could see the

er fascinations than that strange
and almost mystic figure would
have possessed had he also come
down to us from the remote past.
As product of Greek imagination
he would have emboied the melan.
choly, the beauty, and the spirit OF
the woods, just as the German spir-
ite Undine does of the waters. He
would have figured in endless stat.
ues and paintings and have fired
the fancy of innumerable poets
But, born close to us, being our very
own, we have lacked the faculty OF
seeing in him the exquisite poetical
conditions that, 5000 years ago,
would have made him immortal.
We think we appreciate the heroes
of Greek story because we have been
industriously instructed how TO adj
mire them, but we have shown an
utter lack of ability to seize for our.
selves upon a singularly beautiful
figure of our own land and time
which as a type of a splendid young
savage, is unique and artificially
perfect. He is filled with the very
breath of poetry, and vet neither
our painters, our poets, nor oul

dropped by his side.
Furious with pain, he dashed to-
ward her. She fred again, and this
time wounded him in the rightshoul-
der. Faint, and quite helpless, he
staggered against the wall.
"There, you've done it old wo-
man." he said. "Open the door and
let me out. My game is up"
"Mine isn't" said old Maggie.
"Get into your coffin again, or this
time I'll shoot you through your
heart.
The burglar looked pitiously at
her, but he saw no mercy in her
face. He went back to the coffin
and laid down in it. Blood drip
ped from his wounds, and he was
growing pale, Maggie did not want
to see him die before her eyes, but
she dare not call aid. To leave the
house before daylight would be to
meet this mans friends, and risk
her own life. There was nothing
for it but to play the surgeon her
sef, and in a little while she had
stopped the blood and saved the
burglars life. More than this-she
brought him cup of tea, and fed
him with it as if he had been a
baby. Nothing, however, could
induce her to let him out of his cof-
fin.
About one or two o'clock she
heard steps outside, and knew that
the other burglars were near, but
her stout heart never qualed. She
trusted in the bars and bolts and
they did not betray her.
The daylight found her quietly
sitting beside the wounded burglar,
and the milkman, bright and early
was the ambassador who summon
ed the officers of justice.
When the bridal party returned
next day the house was neat and
tidy, and Maggie in her best alpaca,
told the news in laconic fashion.
Frightened ~ she said, in answer
to the sympathetic ejaculation of
her new mistress. Frightened
Oh, ho. Fear wasn't born in me"
