GONE AWAY.

will not think Of thee as cold and dead,
Low-lying in tho grave that can sec.
would not stand beside when life had fed
And left thy body only, there for me.
never saw thee with thy pale arms crossed
On that unbeatipg heart that was mine own,
They,only told me all that had lost
Whom from thy breast thy lovely soul had
Thou vert not thersI and 60 I turned away.
And left the house whom other mournsra
stayed;
Nor did come on that unhappy day
When in the tomb that dreadful thing was
laid.
To me thou art not dead, but gone an hour
Into another country fair and sweet,
Where thou shalt by some undiscovered pewsr
Be kept in youth and beauty till We meet.
Thus can feel that at any given day
could rejoin thee, gene awhile before
Ts foreign chimes, to pass dull weeks away
By wandering on the broad Atlantic shore:
Where each long wave th>t breaks upon the
sand
Bears thee 4 message frsm mo waiting here,
And every breath Spring breathes across the
land
Seems Is sign that thou art lingering near.
So will think Of thee living there,
And L will ks ep thy grave in sweetest bloom
As if thou gavest q garden to my care
Ere thou departed from English gloom
Then when my day is done, and 1, too. die,
Twill be if jeurnsyed to thy side;
And when all quiet we'tegether lie
We shall not know that we have ever died.

Lemons as . System Renoyator.

The way to get the better of a
bilious system without blue pills or
quinine is to take the juice Of one,
two or three lemons, as the appe-
tite Graves, in as much ice water
as makes it pleasant to drink with
ont sugar, before going to bed. In
the morning on rising or at least
halt an hour before breakfast. take
the juice of one lemon in q goblet
Of water. This will clear the sys<
tenn Of humors and bile, with mild
efficacy, without any Of the weak
ening effects of calomel or Congress
water. People should not irritate
the stomach by eating lemons clear
the powerful acid of the Juice,
which is almost corrosive, infallibiy
produces inflammation after while,
but properly diluted, so that it does
not draw OF burn the tl,r"a it does
.ts full medical work without harm
and when the stomach js clear o1
food, has abundant opportunity tc
work on the System thoroughly.

81 Know That

A London paper has heard of n case
where droll fellow named Scrubbs got
into first-class railway carriage, befor,
smoking carriages were invented. In
the carriage was seated sour-lookine
old gentleman. After the train had
started, Scrubbs took out bis pipe.
"You mustn't smoke here, at once
said the old gentleman.
II know that" replied Scrubbs. He
then calmly filed his pipe.
Did not tell YOU" said the o. G.
again, "that you can't smoke hereP"
Il know that" gloomily replied
Scrubbs, taking out his fusee box. He
lit fusee, but now the wrath of the o.
&. was dreadful.
"You shanJ smoke here, sir |" he
shrieked.

ing the fusee to exhaust itself, when he
lit another, and another; the stencil was
awful, the smoke sufocating.
The o. g., coughing and spluttering,
struggled for words. You'd better
smoke" said he.

plying the blazing fusee to the expectant
pipe.

Chapped Hands,

Chapped hands are sometimes really
quite an afiliction, and always an annoy
snce. The tendency to them is caused
by deficiency in the oil, which is con-
stantly being poured out on the surface,
for the purpose Of keeping the skin soft
and supple.
This lubricatiDg oil must be con-
founded with perspiration, which is
waste matter eliminated from the blood.
The former is secre.ed by minute glands
imbedded in the true skin (cutis vera)
which is situated beneath the scarf-skin
or epidermis.
The scarf-skin is very thin and trans
parent, and has very little vitality,
having neither blood vessels nor nerves.
It needs constant oiling 10 keep 1t from
cracking. When sound, it protects, not
only the nerves and vessels of the true
skin, but, to some extent, the whole
body. For, thin as it is, 1t prevents the
absorption of harmful substances.
1t is for this reason that, in vaccina-
tion, the vaccine matter must be i'm
serted beneath it, where 1t is readily
taken up and diflused through the sys-
TEN. When the scarf-skin is chafed, or
scratched, or otherwise broken, various
kinds of poison, often resulting fatally,
may be readily absorbed, as in the case
of physicians opening abscesses, or
conducting a post-mortem examina-
lion.
Now this is point we wish TO en-
phasize, viz, when ones hands are
chapped, he is always more or1ess liable
10 absorb poisonous matter into his
system-in the handling say of putrid
meat, or in the washing Of clothes from
sickroom, or dressing some foul sore.
Where the surface oil is deficient, IL is
apt TO be washed of, especially with
warm water, faster than II Is secreted.
But the difficulty is greatly increased by
the alkali soda or potash) OF the soap,
which not only takes up the oil, but
actually eats through the epidermis.
The best help for chapped hands is,
having washed them thoroughly before
retiring, TO rub them over with mutton
tallow and wear through the night
pair of easy setting leather gloves. Per-
sons in whom the tendency TO chap is
not 80 strong, may keep their hands in
condition by an occasional resort TO this
treatment. - Rottth'S Companion,
