GROWING OLD.

At ski well remember when
fancied all folks old at ten
But, when I'd turned my first decade,
Fifteen appeared more truly staid.
But when the fifteenth round I'd run,
l thought none old till twenty-one.
Then, oddly, when I'd reached that age,
] held that thirty made folks sage.
But when my thirtieth year was told,
! said: "At tvo score men grow old :"
Yet two score came and found me thrifty,
And go l drew the line at fifty.
But when reached that age swore
None could be old until three-sooref
And here am at sixty now,
AS young rs when at Six, trow
'Tis true. my hair is somewhat gray,
And that use a cane to-day
IRIS true, these rogues about my knee
Say " Grandpa" !" when they speak to me
But, bless my soul, Pm young as when
thought all people old at ten
Perhaps a little wiser grown
Perhaps some old illusions f0wn;
But woud' ring still, while years have rolled
When is it that a man grows oldI

LIKE FRESH, WARM MILK.

The butchers do not consider the draught
anything of a hardship. Their version is
that even the most timid soon become
habituated. They say that the draught is
no more unpleasant than fresh warm milk,
and that it tastes not unlike it. 1t is sell
dom that aught but the blood of beeves is
drunk. Many of the butchers are familiar
with the taste. The sight is to them no
novelty, but they look with kind interest
on each new patient, and evidently take
some pride in convalescenoe, much as a
physician might The material difference
is that they take no fee for attendance,
while very often the physician is paid for
sending the patient to them. The majority
of the patients visit Butchertown in the
morning, when the most of the slaughter.
ing is done. Their faces are all well
known. Some visit every day. Others
two or three times per week. The fact ad.
duced as evidence of the benefit of the
treatment is that there are several well
known young ladies and gentlemen about
town, now vigorous, who were apparently
saved by it. The local physicians recon-.
mend some to try it. Others try it on the
recommendation of friends. While

MOST ARE coNsUMPrIvE PATIENT

There are others whs conquer debility
thereby. A few take the liquid away in
bottles salted. 1t is life blood in two
senses. Nearly all the abattoirs have
glasses kept for the patients. Some pa
tients bring glasses. In the back of an
abattoir are several boxes. What are
these for? For rheumatic patients who
secure cures, or think they do, by . method
even more distssteful than the draught.
These patients bring blankets and wraps,
and put their limbs in the boxes, and hav.
ing conquered their instructive prejudices,
go away much benefited, as they say. A
few years ago the idea of the abattoirs was
much more distasteful than it has become
to sensible and resolute persons who have
hopes of betterment. In New York, Chi.
cago, Cincinnati and other large cities
scores are "doctoring" as these plucky San
Franciscans are, and many of them under
less favorable circumstances, as none of
those cities have the winter climate to sec.
ond the efforts of patients. Now even
comparatively well persons, suffering from
temporary debility. make occasional visits
to Butchertown, and in those unsightly
structures many claim to find asylums.

The Hale House.
Charlestoqe's Leading Hotel.

This finest Hotel of the coming
Capital of our growing State, is at
once an ornament and honor to
the city of Charleston. Combin-
ing all the facilities of first-class
hotel, with the cheerful quiet and
easy comforts of home, it is en-
phatically place of rest for the
traveller.
We have never met a more pleas
ant and genial host than is MIR.
Fitz, whose very presence makes
his guests at home on entering the
spacious halls of the Hale.
Recently Mr.. Fitz has been Civ
ing his personal attention to the
thorough re-painting, re-ftting
and re-furnishing Of the house
throughout, adding Barber Shop
and Bath Rooms. On our recent
visit to Charleston, the hall was
filled with great rolls of fine new
carpets, just arrived from Cincin-
natl.
The advent of Mr.. Woodward as
CO. proprietor. we are assured, gives
additional guaranty, if possible, OF
perfect and satisfactory manage
ment of the house in the future.

County Division.

We publish elsewere two letters on the
subject of county division, both in oppo-
sition to it. We would like to have seen
the other side of the question represented
in our columns, the free use of which we
offered to all who had any light to throw
on the matter. Especially did we desire
that some of the residents of the pro-
posed new county, who favor division,
might show the people of the whole
county what advantages they expect
from q separate organization. If the
creation of Harvey county would promote
the best interests of the people of that
district, the measure should carry, unless
the division works an injustice to others
affected thereby. Just here we would
call attention to one fact. Walsh county
is to vote on the question of establishing
Nickeus county, to the west of the former
and south of the proposed county Of
Harvey. Nickeus county is designed to
take in that part of Pembina county en-
braced in township l59, ranges Sc, 81 and
Harvey county six miles
narrower than Pembina county. BY
all accounts Nickeus county will fail to
carry. Now should Nickeus fail and Har-
vey carry there would be a tier of three
townships south of Harvey still belonging
to Pembina. This would leaye things in
an awkward shape. Again, the act pro-
vides that Harvey shall be in size four
townships and fraction one way, and
Eve townships the other, which many
think rather small territory for county.
In short, could there not be division
made at the next legislature that would
more nearly meet the wishes of all con-
,erned? 1t would seem so to us.

Small Pox in the Vicinity of Wal
halla.

We regret to learn that the small pox
in the neighborhood OF Walhalla has not
been controlled as successfully as was ex-
pected. We learn that eight deaths have
already occurred from the dread disease.
We have not been able to get particulars,
but, it is understood that the plague is
now under control, the neighborhood
effected being quarantined. Commission
ers Aymond and jackson started for the
scene last week, but as yet we have no
report from them. Tie disease was
brought from Winnipeg, and there are
many expressions of indignation at the
laxity of the authorities in Winnipeg in
their method of dealing with the matter.

VARIOUS are the opinions and conjec-.
lures as to the real object or objects
sought in tryingto divide this county.
A great many think that Jud LaMoure
is at the bottom of it. Others say it is
put up job on the part of the business
men Of Pembina town. Others think
that the act to divide the county was
but minor element in a gigantic legis-
lative bargain, of which the interests of
this section of the Territory constituted
but a small part. AS near as we can
learn from persons from different parts of
the county, the town of Pembina will vote
solid for division. We know of good
many in this town, however, who think
that Pembina will give a majority
against division. Opinions differ. Opi,,-
ions, did we say? When it comes to that
we are bound to say that opinions
on tie subject are very scarce.
There are any quantity of conectures
and:suspicions on this subject, as upon.
many others. But we think we have got
hold of one idea. which being another
scarce sort of article we are going to hold
on to it for awhile. The majority of
those most deeply interested in the well
fare of the people on this subject are ac-
stuated either by personal or local ,consid-
erations. If VIC are mistaken, will some
one rise and correct us?
