cases. lie points out manutrition of the
lungs as one Of the primary causes of con-
sumption and suggests fatty substances and
sweet cream as the best lung food. A vocal
effort, he says does not iniure the respirato-
ry organs on the contrary, it strengthens
them and he thinks that consumptives should
envy cattle drivers, ''whose business gives
them plausible pretext for yelling" Too
many clothes he considers harmful, whereby
the perspiration is forced back upon the body,
and tho lungs have to do double work. Ly-
ing down fiat on the back after a heavy hem
orrhage he thinks is almost sure to bring on
a relapse "For the first three or four hours
walk slowly up and down, try to keep up a
deep and calm respiration, and If possible,
take the first nap in sitting posture-propp-
ed up with cushions and pillows" For stub

recur for a month or SO. But, unless the dis

Miscellany.
TWO.


In the bitter gloom Of winters morn
The snow piled high against wall and door,
On the mighty uak boughs the frost lay hOar;
But warmth and light shrined the happy face,
So softly pillowed mid snow and lace.
The bells clashed out from the reeling spire,
The night reddened by many FIRE;
The cottage smiled for the JOY at the hall,
As the poor man answered the rich mans call,
And his lot for day was less forlorn,
Because a little child was born.
In the bitter gloom Of a winters morn,
babe was born.
The snow piled high in the narrow street,
Trodden and stained by hurryiug feet;
On the hearth the embers lay cold aud dead,
And the woman who crouched on the damp straw bed
Muttered curse, as the drunken sport
Swelled up to her lair from the crowded court,
Riot without and squalor within
To welcome a waif to world Of SIM
And tho ptiful life was the more forlOrn
Because u little child was born.
In a smiling homo, amid sun and flowers,
A child grew up.
Calm, and beauty aud culture, and wealth,
TO give power to life and grace to health;
Gentle influence, thought, and care,
To train the darling Of love and prayer,
The stately heirlooms Of place and blood
To crown the flower Of maidenhood,
With chidhOOds pearly innocence kept,
On the folded leaves where the sunshine slept,
SO sweetly and richly foamed the cup
Life held, where tue happy girl grew up
Where "home" was a vague and empty word
A child grew up;
And ugly misery all she saw;
where want and sin drew hand in hand,
Round the haunts that disgrace our Christian land;
A loyeless hopeless, joyless life
OF crime, and wretchedness, struggle, and strife;
Never glimpse Of the sweet spring skies
To soften the fash in the wild young eyes,
No drop Of peace in the poisoned cup
Life held, where the reckless girl grew up.
On a summer eve, as the slow sun set,
woman died.
At the close of a long and tranquil life,
HOnored and guarded, mother aud wife,
with gentle hands whose work was done.
And gentle head whose crown was won,
with children's children at her knee,
Aud friends who watched her reverenty;
Knowing her memory would remain,
Treasured by grief that scarce was pain,
with her hearts dearest at her side,
Blessing aud blessed, the woman died.
on a summers eve, the slow set,
woman died
She had fought the falling fight so long,
But time was cruel, and hard, and strong.
without faith, without prayer,
with none to aid, and none TO care
with not trace upon the page,
From desperate youth to oathsome age,
But sin and sorrow, wrong and chance,
And bitter blank Of ignorance;
with not a hand to help or save,
with not a hope beyond the grave,
Tossed in the black streams rushing tide,
Unmourned, uDmissed, the woman died.
And we are all akin, runs the kindly creed!
All, the riddle Of life is hard to read!
An the Year Round.

The Peoples song OF Peace.

The grass is green on Bunker Hill,
The waters sweet in Braudywine;
The sword sleeps in the scabbard still,
The farmer keeps his flock and vine;
Then who would mar the scene to-day
With vaunt of battlefield or fray?
The brave corn lifts in regiments,
Ten thousand sabers in the sun;
The ricks replace the battle-tents,
The hammered tasses toss and run,
The neighing steed the bugle's blast
These be the stories of the past.
The earth has healed her wounded breast
The cannon plow the fields no more
The heroes rest let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore;
They fought for peace, for peace they fell
They sleep in peace, and all is we'll.
The fields forget the battles fought,
The trenches wave in golden grain;
Shall we neglect the lesson taught
And tear the wounds agape again
Sweet Mother Nature, nurse the land,
And heal her wounds with gentle hand.
Lo! peace on earth Lo! flock and fold,
Lo! rich abundance, fat increase,
And valleys clad in sheen of gold,
o rise and sing the song of peace
For Theseus roams the land no more,
And Janus rests with rusted door.
Joaquin MiilcF.

known and influential member Of the inner
court circle in relation to the Queens health
and was informed that severe dropsical
symptoms have set in and that the Queens
condition is considered so unsafe that her
doctors all protested against her present
journey to Scotland. The only reason that
caused the doctors to assent to her removal
was the fact that the inability of her majesty
to get about since she hurt her leg h,s mini.
mized her outdoor exercise. This has been
most sadly missed, but it is thought the fresh
air will in great degree make up for it..
This melancholia has frightened the doctors
and added to the internal morbidity of her
system is causing all who know to anticipate
at no very distant date at least fear of the
Queen being confined, confirmed invalid,

Verdict OH the Bridge Disaster.

NEw IoEK, June 5.-At the bridge inquest
to-day, j. b. Kirchhoff of Brooklyn testified
that he was on the bridge at the scene of the
accident when it occurred. He thought the
panic was due to the action of the bridge
policeman who ordered the crowds to go bacl;
to New York, thus bringing about the crush.
The jury returned this verdict: "Thc death
of the victims resulted from suffocation by
being tramplcd upon;" and they also found
the officers and trustees rcprehcnsible in moi
having the bridge properly policed." 1t was
