LA AMISTAD.

"A mi distingu5do amigo D. Fernando P&rez.>
Bella palabra amistad,
Que con su gran attraction
Y conocida bondad,
A la errante humanidad
Eleva d la perfection.
Els sublime su valor,
Y su placer tan immense
Que hasta produce Ell honor
Y ell carifo puro e intense
Que suele llamarse amor.
Y la vida hace pasar
Con tanta satisfaction,
Que hasta nos hace borrar
En- la pena la affection
Y en- ell dolor ell pesar.
Ella nos d& de la ciencia
Un ccncepto NADIA bajo;
Forma la recta conciencia,
Y nos impulsa al trabajo
Con la mas sana experlencla.
No hubiera buen pensamiento
Nj tampoco carload
Sin ese gran fundamento
Que Sc apellida amist0d,
Noble y grande sentimiento.
Loor a la Omnipotencia
Que nos ha proporcionado
En- su saba providencia,
Ese don ambicionado
Que es de la vida la esencia
Y entire tanto con anhelo
Los infelices mortales
Busquemosle de consuelo,
Para alivio de los males
En- este misero suelo.

need for it. This is because the act
being, of course, performed by virtue of
special excitation of the nervous sys-
tenn, the degree of excitability of the
nerves concerned in the production of
the muscular contractions producing
cough determines it's force and fre-
quency, instead of their being governed,
as they ought to be, solely by the ex-
igencies of expulsion. Moreover, owing
to the sympathetic connection of the
nerves energizing different groups of
muscles, and IN relation with different
centers, coughs may be produced by
excitation which are not local to the
breathing organs. Therefore, we find
that cough, which ought to be a very
simple process or function of a remedial,
or, at least, physically helpful kind is,
in fact, itself cause of disturbance and
disease by reason of it's excessive and
disorderly character, Very grave mis-
takes are made in practice by treating
cough as a pulmonary affection and in
| itself morbid.

posed to the continual encroachments
into their territory for the purpose of
cutting down the trees for extracting
the camphor. No young trees are plant
ed to replace those cut down, nor do
the officials take any cognjzance of the
diminution which is being surely effected
in the supply of a valuable commercial
article. The stills are described as be-
ing of very simple construction, and
are built up shed in such manner
that they can be moved as the Chinese ad-
vance into the interior. A long wooden
trough, coated with clay and half
filled with water, is placed over eight or
ten furnaces on the trough boards,
pierced with holes are fitted, and on
these boards are placed jars containing
the camphorwood chips, the whole be-
ing surmounted by inverted earthen-
ware pots; and the joints made alright
by filling them up with hemp. When
the furnaces are Lit the steam passes
through the pierced boards, and satur-
ating the chips, causes the sublimated
camphor to settle in crystals on the in
side of the pots, from which it is scraped
off and afterward refined. During the
summer months the camphor often loses
as much as 90 per cent. on it's way from
the producing districts to the port of
shipment.

THE MOTHERS GRAVE,
til the chancel stone she lay.

Eeneath the chancel stone she lay,
Her fair hands folded on her breast,
while marble angels, night and day;
At head and foot watched DER her rest.
The sun shone through those arches dim,
In showers of crimson, green and gold,
On the white wings of cherubim,
And still, calm faces, pure and cold.
And. day by day, with serious face,
The nurse led in her two fair boys,
Who, as they neared the sacred place,
Would hush their baby mirth and NOISE
And listed while their nurse would tell
OF her who slept beneath the stone;
That father, too, who loved them well,
But who now wandered forth alone
In wild rebellion at the fate
That robbed him of his earthly crown;
Regardless, too, that soon and late
The everlasting arms reach down,
And. in their tender clasp, enfield
The smitten, struggling human soul,
Until those doubts and shadows cold
Shall backward like a curtain roll.
When peace shall take the place of strife.
And sunbeauns chase away the gloom,
Then memories of that bright, young life
Shall fill his years with rich perfume.
Fair English blossom purely sweet,
Apart from love and life she lies;
No rough road waits those slender feet,
No tears shall dim those tender eyes.
soul above thy sense of loss
Bear this in mind, while thou dost weep
Here is the crown If thine the cross;
He giyeth His beloved sleep

Buried Treasure.
[From an Island Shoals (Ga.) Dispatch.l

From an Island Shoals (Ga.) Dispatch.l
While Mr.. Samuel Mcdaniel, young
farmer, was in the field blowing, his
pillow caught in some obstruction. Urg-
ing the mule, he found the pillow had
caught in the handle of a five gallon Jug,
which was slowly pulled out of the
ground. The jug had a cork stopper,
sealed with sealing wax, and piece of
tin doubled over it with a wire fastened
around it, making it perfectly secure.
Mcdaniel was anxious to know what was
in the jug, so taking his heel screw off
his pillow he twisted off the wire. This
enabled him to take out the cork. He
then placed the jug on stump, and, ap-
plying his lips, tasted the best brandy
he had ever sampled. So captivated
was he that he drank several times, and,
at last, the liquor overcoming him, he
slipped down asleep at the foot of the
stump. Failing to come home to dinner
his mother went out to the field after
him, when he was about waking up.
Together they gave the jug another ex-
animation, when Mrs. McDaniel's at
tention was attracted to its
weight. An investigation showed
the presence of 1900 S. gold
pieces, making total of So, 500. The
mystery was cleared up in singular
manner. McDanieIs grandfather was
a captain in the Florida war. Tt was
known that he was wealthy before he
left. On news of his death in one of the
battles with the Indians, his heirs could
find no trace of his money. The fact
that years after his only grandson and
heir should have found his fortune is
singular incident. The finding of this
jug leads to the hope that there may be
others, and the blowing of that field is
watched with interest.

Wanted the ''Paney" Train.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat

ttrom the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
A tall, angular specimen of verdancy,
from the interior, who, as bystander
expressed it, "had iustcraWled out of the
brush to get look at daylight" saun-
tered into the Union depot yesterday and
made his presence felt by asking every.
body with whom he came in contact
which was 1.-The Fancy train One Of
the porters, ascertaining that the
stranger wanted to go to Pana, ILL.,, di-
rected him to the Bee Line train, which
was standing on No. 4 track. He
walked over to the rear car and accosted
the brakeman with:

different people if I've showed it ter
one, an I don't show it no more if

After the brakeman had explained the
necessity of another exhibition of the
ticket, the stranger reluctantly produced
it and as he did so he spied in the dis
lance a track loaded with trunks.
"Here, where in thunder is that Teller

And off he started on keen run for

to the man with the truck, put his hand
on new and very cheap paper-covered
trunk, and Indignantly demanded to
know what was going to be done with
it.
"Why, we're going to put it in the
baggage-car, replied the porter, point
ing to the car.
''Do I ride in there?" asked the
stranger.
"Let's see your ticket"
''No Stree, Til be-! Whar in thur

At this point the brakeman appeared
and handed the now thoroughly exciteJ
countryman his ticket, at the same tin.c

proceeded to back the truck. up against

"Say, you" said the stranger to the
brakeman, "whare do [ ride?'

"What do you want to do with that?''
''I'll take it right in the passenger-car
with me-
''But we don't take heavy baggage il
the passenger-cars
Cant help it; that ar trunk goes
whar do"
And, much to the amusement of quite
a crowd that had gathered, he pulled
the trunk off the truck, and was drag
ging it toward the passenger-car, when
the brakeman stopped him, and, after
considerable argument, persuaded him
to let the "keyster" go in the baggage
car. He was escorted into the passen-
ger-car, and when the train moved off
was seen clinging with both hands to the
arm of one of the seats as if he expected
a smashup momentarily. Before get
ting on the car, however, he remarked
to the brakeman. apologetically, that
this would be his first ride on railway
train.

=, ere IRE YET one tender hue has passed away:
SO snail 1t never know the winter time
,,, Sefe blight Of frost, or livid, slow decay.
In the sweet tremor of thy love and shame.
And Ike stock dove cooling on it's nest,
Thou murmurest low the accents of NV name.
"h1le now tue sense of laboring time is gone
Swooned IN the sea, lost buried aDvwbere-
While all heed of heaven or world alone
Lies in thine arms, pavilioned by thy hair,
0 wouldst that thou couldst kiss away INV breath
And love sink down deltciously to death
