THEFAMILY DOCTOR.
Hints Concerning Sickness

Do not imagine that your duty II
over when you have nursed your patient
through his illness, and he is about the
house, or perhaps going out again.
Strength does not come back in Q mo
ment; and the days when little things
worry, and little efforts exhaust, when
the cares of business begin to PRESS
but the feeble brain and hand refuse to
think and execute, are the most trying
to the sick one, and then comes the
need for your tenderest care, your most
unobtrusive watchfulness,.
In lifting the sick do not take them
by the shoulderp and drag them up to
the pillows, but get some one to help
you. Let one stand on one side of the
patient, the other opposite, then join
hands under the shoulders snd hips.
and lift steadily and promptly together.
This method is easy for those who lift,
and does not disturb TIE x;H who is
lifted.
Don't have needless conversations
with the doctor outside of the sick
room. And above all, be sure not to
whisper in the room or in the patients
hearing. Nothing will excite and
irritate a nervous patient sooner. L
once knew lady who recovered after
severe fit of sickness, but who always
insisted that she came near dying on
account of persons [" friends") whisper
ing in the sick room. In her own
words, "I thought it would kill me-"
If you do lave such conversations with
the doctor, don't tell the patient that
the doctor said "nothing." He won't
believe you, and he will imagine the
worst possible.
II you have a sick friend to whom
you wish to be of use, do not content
yourself with sending her flowers and
jelly, but lend her one of your pictures
to hang in place of hers, or bronze
to replace the one at which she is tired
of staring.
Never deceive dying person unless
by the doctors express orders. 1t is
not only wrong to allow any soul to go
into eternity without preparation, but
how can you tell but that he has some
thing he ought to tell or do before he
goes away?
Remember that sick people are not
necessarily idiotic or imbecile, and that
II is not always wise to try to persuade
them that their sufferings are imaginary.
They may even at times know best what
they need. Christian at Work.

At the End Of Life.

So many years I've gone this way.
SO many years | I must confess
Waste energies, much disarray;
Yet had l own no weariness,
Nor see evenings shadows fall
Down my much inscriptioned wall:
The warm air still is like midday.
And many mournful ghosts are past,
Laid still at last.
The tabled fardel lighter grew
AS near the bourne the bearer drew;
Life can, alas no more surprise
by its continuous compromise.
New faces fill the chairs, and so
Our interest in the game runs low,
Quiet pleasures longest stay,
Experience packs so much away,
wait and wonder: long ago
This wonder was my constant guest,
Wonder at our environing,
And at myself within the ring.
Still that abides with me, some quest
Before my footsteps seems to lie,
But quest of what scarcely know.
Life itself makes no reply;
A quest for naught that earth supplies.
This is our life's last compromise.

A Scared Husband.

Marital affection is beautiful thing,
and every fresh exhibition of it's tender
ness and loyalty affects us to tears. Z
wife-possibly an old wife-ona certain
occasion fell overheard. The husband
rushed frsntically about the deck, lit
orally tearing his hair out by the hand
fuI and crying in the most beseeChing
tones, "For heavens sake, save her; she
is my wife," The noble sailors thought
OF their own sweethearts and ran eli
risks, and at last brought the poor
woman into the cabin of the swoOning
husband. The look OF gratitude he
gave them fnlly repaid them for all
their efforts. Then, recovering his
equilibrium, he thrust his hand into his
wife's wet pocket, pulled out some
what plethoric purse. and. with infinite
relief, said: "There, old woman, the
next time you tumble overheard just
leave that purse behind, will you? You
scared me most to death ?"

After Robert Grossetes-e had been

brother called on him and solicited pre-
ferment. The Bishop replied that If
he wanted a new pillow or yoke of oxen

added he: "A peasant found you. aud
a peasant shall leave you" The good
Bishop might have put the truth lit
that anything less than the plainest

family prestige. to accept a bishOprio,
and 1t was limited that the purple would
soon follow. The padre would accept
none of these hOnors ut ANY price, and
