PURE BLOOD Us. BLUE BLooD.-A Wash
ington correspondent well says: "The late
czar of Russia, when fired upon by the
would-be assassin, whose bullet went wide
of its mark, shrieked, tainted with terror,
and from that time until the fatal day when
the nihilistic bomb blew him into eternity,
was racked and shattered as to his nervous
system through fear. The phlegmatic en-
peror of Germany has never recovered from
the shock which followed the slight wounds
of bird shot fired at such distance that it
would scarcely have killed a reed-bird. The
president of the American republic, with
bullet as large as that carried by Rem
ington rifle, tearing through his vitals, with
every reason known to the surgical and medi-
cal world to expect death, sets his teeth in a
hard, determined manner, and without a
shudder, even the slightest fear, says to the
outside world, IN chance and III win,' and,
softening the lines of his face into the sweet
ness of lovers smile. whispers softly to his
dear wife as she kneels beside him, Sweet
heart, sweetheart, have no fear, I'll pull
through Such heroism, such manhood,
causes the blood to surge in the heart of
every American, and stands a memorial
more lasting than marble or bronze in testi-
mony and tribute of the nation which has
and holds such man as its head and typical
representative"

The Management of Sick Children

The vicissitudes necessarily incident
to an outdoor and primitive mode of
life are never the first causes of any
disease, though they may sometimes be-
tray its presence. Bronchitis, nova
days perhaps the most frequent of all
infantile diseases, makes no exception
to this rule; draught of cold air may
reveal the latent progress of the disor-
der, but its cause is long confinement in
a vitiated and overheated atmosphere,
and its proper remedy ventilation and a
mild, phlegm-loosening (saccharine)
diet, warm, sweet milk, sweet oatmeal
porridge, or honey-water. Select an
airy bedroom and do not be afraid to
open the windows; among the children
of the Indian tribes who brave in open
tents the terrible winters of the Hudson
Bay territory, bronchitis, Group and
diphtheria are wholly unknown; and
what we call /" taking cold" might Of
ten be more correctly described as TAX
ing hot; glowing stoves, and even open
fires, in a night-nursery, greatly aggra-
vate the pernicious effects of an impure
atmosphere. The first paroxysm of
Group can be promptly relieved by very
simple remedies; fresh air and rapid
forward-and- backward movement of
the arms, combined in urgent cases
with the application of fesh-brush Tor
piece of fianneD to the neck and the up
per part of the chest. Paregoric and
poppy-sirup stop the cough by lethargiz-
ing the irritability and thus preventing
the discharge of the phlegm till its ac-
emulation produces q second and far
more dangerous paroxysm. These Sec
ond attacks of Group (after the admin
istration of palliatives) are generally the
fatal ones. When the child is conval-
escing, let him beware of stimulating
food and overheated rooms. Do not
give aperient medicines; costiveness, as
an after-effect of pleuritic affections,
will soon yield to fresh air and veget-
able diet.-Dr. Felir l.. Os,Cald, in
Popular Science Monthly.

The Worst Of Everyone.

1t is so easy to get into the way Of
thinking the worst of our friends and
neighbors, that one should guard against
a habit of detraction with all ones
might 1t is painfully depressing to be
with those who habitually speak evil Of
others. One feels in charmed circle
of hopeless iniquity, il it be not one OF
delusive appearances. Everything is
bad throughout, and there is not o
square inch of virtue left for our weary
soul to rest on. People whom we have
loved since we were children are shown
to us as scanned and SCARED with in
iquities, and unworthy our most tepid
regard; names that we have venerated
are stripped of their laurels and crowned
with weeds and straw, or made out to
be the mere shadows of names, iindeed
they are not the shadows of foul SUBJ
stances; our pet illusions are sneered
at, and life is stripped of its poetry
People given to detraction can never
find a possible excuse, charitable rea-
son, for anything they do not quite
agree with, like or understand. Say
they see some one they know under
conditions admitting of two explana
tions-one supposing doubtful taste or
discretion, the other compatible with
perfect innocence and purity of thought
and motive; you never hear them give
the latter Interpretation, Or accept il,
when offered to them. Thrust be that
doubtful appearances are the warranty
of evil deeds; and they will not be con.
WINGED to the contrary, say what you
may; they love to hear and believe evil
rather than good.

MOTHER MINE.

When by the ruddy fire read.
In one old volume and another.
1Iose ballads haunted by fair women.
one OF them always seemed my mother.
In storied song she dwelt, among
Inose fairesI women under heaven,
The foam of Binnorie's bonny mill dams,
Inc DOw1nY blrks, the sisters seven.
Burd Helen had those great gray eyes,
Inelr rays from shadOwy lashes flinging !;
mat smile the winsome bride of YarroW,
before her tears we're set to singing.
That mouth was just the mouth that kissed
Sir CradOcke under the green wildwood,
fa1r ROsamond was tall as she was,
IN those fixed fancies of my childhood.
Birds are less sweet, and flutes not clearer
In ancient halls saw the minstrel,
. And shapes long dead arose to hear her.
Darlings of song I've heard since then,
But no such voice as hers was, swelling
Like bell-notes on the winds of morning,
AL angelhood about it dwelling.
No more within those regions dim
of rich romance my thoughts would place
Her life itself is such poem
she does not need old names to grace her.
1t smiles to see that years are f1eeter;
Scotch songs are still as sweet as ever,
But she is infinitely sweeter.
For love, that shines through all her ways,
flinders the stealthv years from booty;
A soul divinely self -fOrgetful
Has come to blossom in her beauty.
While the low brow, the silver curl,
The twilight glance and perfect features,
The rose upon a creamy pallor.
Make her the lovliest of creatures.
Now, with the thrill along the tone,
ar IA
AS sunbeams flowers, a strange remoteness,
Halt like halo, hangs around her.
Half like halo? Nay, indeed,
l never saw a picture painted
Such holy work the years have rendered
SO like a woman that is sainted.

as usual, in almost perfect silence.
Again and again had the husband and
father been on the verge of speaking

lently. No one knew of the previous
nights experience-oft the warnings he
firmly believed he had received; he
could remain forever dumb, and no one
would ever be the wiser, but he had de-
termined to right, if possible, the wrongs
of years, and yeti was not so easy as
he had thought.
"William!" he exclaimed at length,
suddenly, slowly breaking an egg into
the glass beside him.
The boy looked up respectfully, but
YEARLY he, too, had spent an almost
sleepless night-a night of tears and dis
appointment. "Well, fatherp" he said,
questioning, for the Deacon had stop
