MY OLD PocKET-BooK.

lis sad to part, for you and
Have passed through many scenes together
We've seen the ups and downs of life
Its stormy and its sunny weather.
We've seen that many pass Us by,
Because our Carb Is worn and seedy
Forgetting all the favOrs past,
When We were flush and they were needy.
But we will speak Of other things;
Our past is dead, with all its glory,
And il, to all but you and /,
A stale uninteresting story.
In looking o er the many scraps
From out thy folds and secret places,
What sad mementOes do find,
OF many long.departed faces.
Here is note of money loaned,
To help friend in his dstrcsses;
And here-God bless her lis 4 lock
OF little Daisy's golden tresses-
And here, all nicely packed away
A faded ribbon tied around it
The golden toy she gave to me
Til now never have unbound it,
And here and there an ancient coin,
A bit Of prose. a pleading sonnet.
With Daisys sad, untimely death,
The lines" a friend once wrote upon It.
And last not least pencil sketch,
The likeness of dearlOved brother:
And with it--seen through bitter tears
The silver tresSes of my mother
Again III place within thy folds,
These sacred tokens Of affection,
And treasure them a. themes OF thought.
In all fny hours Of retro-pectiOn.

Tic DoULoUREUx.-A patient, who for sever
al years had suffered from an intense facial neu-
ralgia, came under the treatment of Prof. Peters
of Paris, who put him upon n course of six grains
of bromide of potassium, the dose repeated
thrice daily for the first month, four grains
thrice daily in the second month, two grains
thrice daily in the third month. The result is
reported as being astonishing. Great success is
claimed by Prof Gnbler in the of aconitum
napellus for the ordinary form of facial neural
gia, particularly when congestion is present.
Prof. Lee, of the Hotel Diem, Paris, relates
where patient of his, after thirty years
suffering from the tic douloureux, got quickly
rid of his pain after few daily administrations
of eight-g grain doses of salicylate of soda.

How To KEEP BOQUErs FREsH-There
varions recipes for keeping boguets fresh. Some
people stick them in moist sand, some salt the

to cool the flowers thoroughly at night. When
the long day of furnace heat has made the

them n little, and then set them to float in

water-cure. Heliotrope blackens, and falls to

use dry, cold air. wrap them in cotton

The Cold snap.

Reports from this State and the
peach growing sections of MarylaDd
iHdicate that no serious damage was
done by the frost and cold of Monday
night. Growers report the buds as
not sufficiently advanced to be greatly
affected. Approximations were felt in
some quarters that last night might
produce more serious results. The
peach crop in Northern Virginia is
said TO be endangered by the sudden
change in the temperature, as the trees
in some sections had partially cast the
bloom. Specials from West Virginia,
Ohio and Pennsylvania report that the
cold snap has damaged the early applrs,
peaches and small fruits, but that the
grains are uninjured. Fruit and vege-
tables in the vicinity of Louisville,
KY, are not seriously injured, though
apprehensions are felt for the wheat.
The mercury fell to 20 Tuesday morn
ing near Louisville. In Indiana many
of the fruit buds are killed, aud the
wheat is reported injured, the mercury
in exposed places falling to "a de-
grees. In Michigan fears are enter
tanned that damage has been done to
the early peaches aud apples.

The Labor strikes.

The strikes of the labor organixs-
tions in this city, which at one time
threatened to grow into the most for
midable proportions, are fortunately
10 a fair way of amicable settlement.
Nearly all the associations have re.
turned to work, their employers hav-
ing In most cases yielded to the applis
cation for increased wages. A gem
srsl strike at this season of the year
would have, been followed by the
most serious consequences. Capital
would undoubtedly have been hurt;
but the strikers themselves would not
have been benefited. A. long struggle
would have resulted in only one thing
namely, in driving trade and BUSH
ness into new channels and ovsrturns
ing financial and other relations which
are essential to the success of all busi-
ness and which require lime and oOn-
hdence for their firm establishment.
1t is fortunate for all concerned that

ought to send copies Of IL to his green

recites that the question is simply one of
the power OF Congress to pass such bill;
that the original acts authorizing the is
sue of greenbacks exempted them from
taxtioD; that the Supreme Court In 1868
decided that, under this exemption
clause, greenbacks are not liable TO State
taxation. The committee, therefore,
reg .rd 1t as clear that Congress has nc
power TO pass any law inspiring con-
tract of exemption which was thea made.
