A pilgrim once tso runs an ancient tale).
Old, worn and spent. crept down a Swallowed
vale:
On either hand rose mountains bleak and high;
Chill was the gusty air and dark the sky;
The path was rugged, and his feet were bare;
His faded cheek was scanned by pain and care
His heavy eyes upon the ground were cast,
And every step seemed feebler than the last.
The valley ended where naked rock
Rose sheer from earth to heaven, as if to mock
The pilgrim who had crept that toilsome way;
But while ais dim and weary eyes essay
To find al outlet, in the mountain side
A ponderous sculptured brazen door he spied,
Aud tottering toward it with fast-failing
breath,
Above the portal read, I" The Gate of Death"
He could not stay his feet, that led thereto:
1t yielded to his touch, and J'assing through
He came into world all bright and fair;
Blue were the heavens and balmy was the air;
And, 10! the blood Of youth was in his veins,
And he was clad in robes that held no stains
OF his long pilgrimage. Amazed, he turned:
Behold a golden door behind him burned
In that fair sunlight, and his wondering eyes,
Now lusterful and clear as those new skies,
Free from the mists of age, of care and strife,
Above the portal read, The Gate of Life"

Mourning Goods.

In Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men in brown. In China
white is worn by both sexes In Turkey,
Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia celes-
tial blue is the tint chosen in Egypt
yellowish brown, the hue Of the dead
leaf, is deemed proper, and in Ethiopia,
where men are black, gray is the en-
blem of mourning. All these colors
are symbols. White symbolizes purity.
an attribute Of our dead the celestial
blue, that place of rest where happy
souls are az rest the yellow or dead
leaf tells that death is the end Of all
human hope. and that the man falls as
the autumn leaf; AMI gray whispers OF
the earth to which all return. The
Syrians considered mourning for the
dead an effeminate practice, and SO
when they grieved they put on women's
clothes, as a symbol of weakness and as
a shame to them for lack Of manliness.
The Thracians made feast when one
of their loved ones died, and every
method Of Joy and delight was en-
ployed. This meant that the dead had
passed from state of misery into one
Of felicity. Black was introduced as
mourning BY the queen Of Charles
VIII. Before that the French queens
wore the white mourning, and we're
known as white queens.

vomited matter consisting Of coagulated
mueus and blood. Diarrhea follows,
and the face OF the patient becomes
swollen and alternately flushed and
pale. The pulse becomes small and
irregular, the skin clammy, and respi-
ration labored. In extreme cases the
interior of the lips become swollen, and
the tongue white and shriveled. The
cese frequently terminates with syn
cope, convulsions, or general insensi-
bility. Egg albumen administered with
warm water to allay the irritation and
produce vomiting is the usual antidote.
Milk and gluten or -four is also recon-
mended. Active efforts should at once
be made to effect the entire expulsion
of the contents Of the stomach. The
stomach pump cannot be used.
The operation Of such narcotic poi
sons as opium and prussic acid or
prussiate Of potash (hydrocyanic acid
or potassium cyanide) is confined
chiefly to the spinal marrow and brain.
The effects Of hydrocyanic acid (and
potassium or other similar cyanide) are
almost instantaneous it is very rarely
the case that they are delayed more
than two or three minutes. On the
other hand, cases of fatal poisoning by
opium do not terminate earlier than
from six to twelve hours. z
In cases of poisoning by cyanides
emetics and the stomach pump are at
once called into requisition. Freshly
precipitated hydro-iron oxide, if admin
istered imm ediately. is perhaps one of
the best antidotes. Chlorine water
injected into the stomach is also recon.
mended.
Nitrate Of silver yields with solution
of the soluable cyanides white pre-
cipitate. When few drops OF solu-
tion of potash in gum water is mixed
with small sample Of the suspected
liquid and solution of sulphate Of iron is
then added a dark brown precipitate
separates in few minutes. This pre-
cipitate, when agitated with sulphuric
acid, develops deep blue colorif cyan
ides were present.
These are only a few of the long list
Of active poisons, but they include
those which are in nine cases out of ten
responsible for the fearful record OF
poisoning cases. And it is assuredly
true that but for the want of a little
timely and definite knowledge respect
ing common poisons and their antidotes
such as We have endeavored to briefly
sketch above-the list of fatalities from
poisoning might have been shortened

The Humors OF Pilot BOATING.

In an account of cruise in New
York pilot-boat, published in the Cent
as,y. Mr.. s. g. W. Benjamin says:
We kept on to the East, deciding to
gosas far as st. Georges bank after
steamers. These vessels are the great
prizes in the pilot lottery, because their
draft averages more than that of sailing
ships. To secure an inbound steamer
also insures plotting her out again.
Ocean steamers are therefore very de-
sirable game, and great risks are encoun-
tered in order to intercept them. The
opposite extreme are Norwegian barks,
for they are small, and generally come
to this country in ballast. ''To get q
Norwegian BARK is therefore considered
o good joke on the poor fellow whose
luck it is to board one. Steamers which
are exclusively freight boats, and are
| irregular in their sailing days and slow
| in their movements, are called 'stramps," !"
and are also not held in high esteem by
the pilots. The cruises to the east
ward are sometimes, though rarely, pro-
tracted to twenty or thirty days. But
the average luck is good
The following evening, when we were
well eastward of Nantucket light-ship,
steamer was reported heading directly
for us. Immediately the cards were
flung aside, and in moment every soul
was on deck. The pilot whose turn it
was to board the next vessel, after q
hurried survey of the steamer, ex-
claimed:
boys, goodbye. Finish the game
for yourselves"
He then dashed below, and in all
haste put on boiled" shirt and a
Sunday-go-to meeting suit, and packed
his yalise. 1t should be remembered
that these steamers are rather more
"swell" !" than sailing ships, and seem
to demand corresponding difference
In apparel. In the meantime the torch
was blazing on deck in the liveliest
manner. The needle-like points of
light representing the steamer gradu-
ally approached, and at last the huge,
vague form of the vessel herself could be
defined. But she already had pilot.
and paid no attention to ~. The game
in the cabin was resumed at once, and
the boiled" shirt was once more
folded up and laid away carefully in the
locker. The precariousness of steamer
catching is well illustrated by this mat
ter Of dressing to board them. One Of
our pilots told US that he had actually
shaved and dressed six times in one
trip for steamer before he had sue
ceeded in boarding one. There is {.
tradition Of pilot who dressed seven
teen times before success crowned his
perseverance.

Or. Hammond on Tobacco.

DR.. VIM. A. Hammond, interviewed
by the New York Tribune on tobacco,
gives his medical opinion that smoking
is very bad for boys ANA women, stunt
ing the boys, impairing their digestion,
sight and hearing, rendering them sub
iect to neuralgia and diseases Of the
brain which impair mental force, also
have the same effect on women, because
Of their more sensitive nerves; but that
moderate smoking of cigars is very
good for adult men, re arding the waste

Remembering Faces.

If man would succeed as detec.
tive, clergyman, hotel keeper, or as a
politician, he should cultivate the art
of recollecting faces. It is said of q
certain statesman, whose fame is national,
that he never forgets face or name.
The power of this art is due to the fact
that mans vanity is fattered by hay-
ing one who has not seen him, perhaps
for years, call him by name. Henry
Clay was noted for his memory Of faces
and names. Indeed, it was said that
only one man IN the United States ex-
celled him in this respect, and that was
Jennings, the bartender of the old City
Hotel Of New York.
During political campaign in Mis-
sissippi, Mr.. Clay stopped for few
minutes at Clinton. A crowd gathered
about the cars to greet the popular
orator. Among the people was an ec-
centric old man with one eye, who,
making his way through the crowd, ex-
claimed
'Don't introduce me, for I want to
see if Mr.. Clay will know me-"
.Where did know you r. asked Mr..
Clay, taking the old man by the hand.
"In Kentucky" he answered.
Have You lost that eye since 1 saw
Lyou?'
|. Yes"
Turn the sound eye to me that 1 may
see your profile"
II have it." said Mr.. Clay. sDid you
not give me q verdict as juror, at Frank
! fort, Kentucky, twenty one years ago p
81 did / did!' exclaimed the exult-
ant old man.
"And is not your name HardwickeP
sIt is,p and turning to his friends,
asked triumphantly. Didn't / tell you
that Henry Clay would know me, though
he hadn't seen me for over twenty years :
Great men never forget faces"
It il safe TO say that Mr. Clay received
hat old mans vote.

while he stood helplesss, the hunter
fairly sickened. 1t was terriblel
Suddenly, however, a gleam-a
desperate gleam-lit his bronzed fea-
lures. He leaned little forward and
and gazed sharply down.
The murderer was at Nutting's side.
Already he had drawn his arm back for
the fatal blow. Moore waited no longer.
Crouching single breath's space,
he uttered wild yell, and sprang out

the air with fearful momentum. and
falling with q mighty crash directly
upon the redskin, crushing him sense
less to the earth.
Instantly Nutting was upon his feet,
wide awake, and as Dick, bruised and
half-stunned, staggered backward,
clutching his knife, Tom thrust him
away and sprang to the side of their
prostrate enemy, his own weapon up
raised. Ee
But the man never moved; and as
Nutting rolled him heavily over, the

drops that trickled down the heavy
