AND now the moon farmers say the
wheat crop will be light. The crop
ripens on the dark Of the moon, and a
full crop was never known when this
was the case. The theory OF the moon
farmers is that anything which grows
above the ground should have light
moon, and that which grows in the
ground should have a dark moon to
mature in.

AS Arnold had meditated his treason

AS Arnold had meditated his treason
for eighteen months, preparing to make
it the more effective and obtain the best
terms for himself, so did Malone medi-
tate long and in secret, and only re-
vealed his intentions to the public in
the Mozart Hall convention more than
q year after his defeat. Like Arnold,
too, he had been bold and adventurous
soldier in the field, and had done the
State some service, which he thought
had not been sufficiently recognized,
although for years he had enjoyed
salary equal to that of the President Of
the United States with perquisites of
unknown amount. The profits Of Ar
nold's treason was majOr.generalship
in the British army, though that Gov
ernment gained nothing by it, while
the reward of Mahone's treachery was
place in the Senate of the United
States, given him by the Republican
party, though that party lost more than
1t gained by him, for he had promised
to break down the Democracy of the
South and turn his whole section, bound
hand and foot, over to the enemy, but
40 far he has failed to deliver the goods,
and, on the contrary, has made our peo-
pie more solidly Democratic than ever.

MY NELL,

She stood in the door of her cottage.
My own little darling Nell!
Shading her eyes with her fingers
And smiling a sweet farewell.
The sunset light fell o'er her,
With many golden ray;
It cleaned in her bonnie tresses
And startled the shadows away.
And still fingered and fingered,
Unwilling to leave her side,
Till the sun sank into his slumbers
And the last stray sunbeam died.
But the twilight's gathering shadows
That soon came on apace,
Could not darken her eyes bright sparkle.
Or the cleaning white of her face.
But the silvery notes of goodnight
We're not half SO laden with music
AS the voice OF this being Of light.
And then at last when we parted,
With VOWS for the future days.
felt her slight hand tremble
AS held it for one brief space.
Since then many summers have vanished.
On pinions Of fragrance and bloom,
But none have brought SO much sunshine
To tighten my lonely LIES gloom.
oft see the self-same picture
As the one have just portrayed,
Except that the figure is taller,
And the face more settled and staid.
And she does not pause in the doorway
To whisper soft farewells,
But to watch for the husband who's coming
At the ringing OF vesper bells.

LAY A PAINTING PERSON DOWN.
1t is surprising how everybody rushes
at fainting person and strives to raise
him up, and especially to keep his head
erect. There must be an instructive ap-
prehension that if a person seized with
a fainting OF other fit fall into the re.
cumbent position death Is more immi-
nent. I must have driven mile to-day
while lady fainting was held upright.
laid her head down on lower level
than her body, and Immediately the
color returned to her lips and cheeks,
and she became conscious. To the ex-
cited group of friends I said: "Always
remember this fact, namely: fainting
is caused by want of blood in the'brain;
the heart ceases to act with sufficient
force'tO send the usual amount of blood
to the brain, and hence the person loses
consciousness because the function of
the brain ceases. Restore the blood to
the brain and instantly the person re-
covers. Now, though the blood is pro-
PEELED to all parts of the body by the ac-
ton of the heart. yet it is still under the
influence of the laws of gravitatiOn. In
the erect position the blood ascends to the
head against gravitation, and the supply
to the brain is diminished, as compared
with the recumbent position, the hearts
pulsations being equal. If, then, you
place person sitting whose heart has
nearly ceased to beat, his brain will fail
to receive blood, while if you lay him
down. with the head lower than the
heart, blood will run into the brain by
the mere force Of gravity and, IN faint
ing, in sufficient quantities to restore
consciousness. Indeed, nature teaches
US how to manage the fainting persons,
for they always fall, and frequently are
at once restored by the recumbent posi-.
ton into which they are thrown Med.

The ocean sprites would WOO thee from my

And deem thee like their kindred, aye. un-
