To CURE GAPEs.-The London Cottdge Gard.
ener says: I'VE have learned to jest at gapes
by making free use of camphor. We give to
a chicken in very bad case pill the size of
a small garden pea Assoon as we see symp-
toms of gapes we give the birds water to
drink which is strongly impregnatcd with
camphor, thus giving to the chickens that
which was fay0rte medicine with our grand
seems to explain itself The gapes or gaping
is caused by ueprcsence of small red worms
in the windFsbc. No medicine can reach
them unless it doessso by vapor. An hour
after the chicken hassswallowed the pill it
smells of champor. Camphor is a strong
vermifuge and the worms die.

SOME DAY.

BY MARY VERNON.
You smooth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years Ger you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark;
Smiling the while to hear me say:
you'll think of this again some day
Some day"
! do not scorn the power of time,
Nor count on years of fadeless prime:
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among these heavy locks of mine.
An, laugh as gayly as you may
You II think of this again some day
Some day.
Some day | shall not feel as now
Your soft hand move about my brow:
shall not slight your light commands,
And draw your tresses thrO' my hands,
! shall be silent and obey,
And you-you will not laugh that day.
Some day :"
| know how long your loving hands
Will linger in these glossy bands,
When you shall weave my latest crown
Of their thick masses, long and brown;
But you will see no touch of gray
Adorn their shining length that day
Some day!
Ard while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not,
You II take from these one treasured tress,
And leave the rest to slentness--
Remember that used to say:
you'll think Of this again some day
Some day"
