A New Cure for Consumption.

Appointment citizen of Geneseo, NY,
has been prolonging his own life at the
expense of the canine creation. Some
two or three years ago the gentleman
in question, who was pronounced by
physicians to be in quite an advanced
stage of consumption, began the habit
of taking his pet dog to bed with him.
The animal soon exhibited unmistake-
able signs of lung difficulty, coughed
almost constantly, and finally died.
The gentleman procured another dog
and slept with him for time, when this
animal also fell victim to the disease.
Another dog was procured, with which
the man now sleeps, and, though the
third animal will probably die the same
way the others did, the man is con-
stantly improving. and is better than
before for years. He is a we'll known
business man Of Geneseo, and we would
give his name if necessary.-[Livonia

The Oak Tree.

A long time ago two lads, called Ed
mund and Oswald. came before court
of justice. Edmund said to the Judge:
"Three years ago, before setting out
on journey, I entrus ed to this Oswald,
whom l then considered my best friend,
a valuable ring composed of precious
stones, but now he will not restore the
ring to me-"
Oswald laid his hand upon his breas.
and said,-
II swear by my honor that know
nothing about this ring. My friend
Emund cannot be in his right senses
"Edmvnd, can you bring forward any
witness to prove the fact that you en-
trusted the ring to his keeping?" said
the Judge.
Unfortunately, we had no witness
except an old oak tree in the field under
which we took leave of one another"
replied Edmund.
II am ready to swear know as little
about the tree as about the ring" said
Oswald.
Edmund, go and bring me branch
of that tree; l desire to see it. You,
Oswald, will wait here till he returns
said the Judge.
Edmund went. After waiting little
while the judge became impatient and
said,-
"What can be keeping Edmund so
longp'
"Oh, sir" said Oswald, che could
not possibly have returned SO soon.
The tree is quite an hours walk from
here"
ooh, you wicked liar" said the Judge,
who wished to confirm your lie by an
oath before God, the righteous Judge.
who sees into all hearts. You know
where the tree is"
And so Oswald was obliged to give up
the ring. and was condemned to long
imprisonment.

And at it's ermine mantle's hem.
just as the sun arose, one morn,
A little Alpine flower was born;
The light-winged wind that bent to kiss
Its leaflets called it Edelweiss.
A little while it saw the high

1t heard the torrent madly sweep
All white with fear from steep to steep
1t felt the mountain winds that blow
From heaven across eternal snow,
And once upon its lonely bed
An eagles shadow fell and fed.
But to the mountain came that day
An English youth from far away,
And climbing down it's rugged side,
The little blossom he espied,
And gathered it because it ayed
Upon the perilous heights he bravod.
And bore 1t back with him, where stand
The great oaks of his native land.
Between his Browning's leaves Of song
Its petals lay forgotten long,
While all the fields with snow were white,
Or all the lanes with roses bright,
Till now across the summer sea

And for his "a ke this rnnrnipo t;poo

But Uncle Nixon had rem embered
