The Flag OF the JOhnnies.

Oh say, can you see, Ger the dudes early grave,
What so proudly we bore through the fights tina
are ended
Whose folds held the name of O'Brien the brave
With that of the party so brilliantly blended;
And the good old machine, always stanch if un
clean,
Grave proofto the world that we never were green
oh, say, does the flag of the Johnnies yet float
Der the home of the goose and the haunt of the
goat?
On that same old machine, both by day and by
night,
While the Swallowtails grumble and count ur
their loses,
What is it that waves, all so glowing and bright
And assures to the party the same solid bosses
Over every saloon, meath the sun and the moon,
1t is still to the heelors bountiful boon.
Tis the flag of the Johnnies oh, long may it float
Ger the home of the goose and the haunt of the
goat
And where are the men who determined to smash
The bosses and heelers and all their defences?
They are going down now in their pockets for
cash,
With which to defray the old party's expenses.
In vain did they rave when to Johnny the brave
The leading position gallantly gave;
And the flag of the Johnnies in triumph doth float
Der the homc of tho goose and the haunt of the
goat.
Oh, thus be it ever, while whisky is cheap,
And votes may be purchased with Office or gold
The dudes and the dandies may wall and may
weep,
But still they must yield to O'Brien the bold.
The boys have their way, and are jolly and gay,
And this be our motto-"the others must pay"
And the flag of the Johnnies in triumph shall float
Ger the home of the goose and haunt of the goat.

Use for Bald Heads.
Baltimore Daily Neics.

baltimore Daily Nees.
Badness is not exactly beautiful, but
the heads so afflicted are numerous.
Whence it arises has not yet been dis
covered, although there has been a
good deal of investigation. Much
piety is said to be cause, and as proof
the heads of ecclesiastics are pointed
out. Portraits show that all the great
est saints were baldheaded, and nearly
all the most eminent living churchmen
have this distinction.
Other authorities, however-Strong
naturalists- disposed to seek practi-
cal reasons for the loss of hair. DR..
Dip Lewis and some of his friends as
CrlDe 1t to the excessive wearing OF mats,
particularly hats without ventilation in
them. DIR. Lewis never puts on his
hat when he can possibly keep it off,
and even at times exposes his head to
the risk of pneumonia and cold in the
head. The result is, as he says tri-
umphantly, that he has as much hair
at sixty and over as he ever had, and
the only difference is in the color.
The fresh air has been continually blow
ing over it, and he has never yet per-
ceived any symptoms ofa failing crop.
This is very well, but how about the
Quakers? They are people, as is well
known, who perpetuallywear their hats.
There is not a strictly orthodox Friend
who would not rather lay down his life
hot
these coverings are tenaciously attached
to the head, and perhaps even with
some extreme members of the sect are
slept in. Nor is there the least regard
paid to whether the hats are provided
with ventilators or not. How is it,
then, that all Quakers are not baldhead-
ed persons among them than among
other denominations at once refutes
the Lewis theory.
Hitherto there has been a tendency
to treat baldheads with levity, notwith-
standing the awful example in the Bible
of the boys who were devoured by the
bears for this sort of irreverence.
Tokes about baldheaded men and front
seats at the theatre, when ballet spec
tacle is on, are painfully familiar-like-
wise other imbecile jests with referenceto
flies. An ingenious London tradesman
has found out that baldhead, instead
of being an affliction, may be turned to
highly useful account. He proposes
to brand the advertisement of a patent
medicine on the backs of heads that are
bald. Here, of course, the advertise
ment is sure to be seen. No human
being who can see will be able to es-
cape it. If it is really good article,
the most beneficial result may be anti
cipated. Very likely it is new hair
restorer.

Lincoln in the Hospital.

In recent conversation with a Union
soldier, a correspondent heard a
fresh story about the late President
Lincoln. AS near as possible our
friend tells it in the soldiers words.
He says:
! l had been in the Finley Hospital
several months, said the soldier. One
day, in May, 1868, President Lincoln
and Secretary Chase walked into the
ward where was lying. You don't
know how much good it did US to see
them, one gets SO tired looking at the
nurse and the long row of cots. 1t is
hard to lie on cot day after day and
hear the boys moan as their life ebbs
away.
Some morning you wake up and see
an empty cot near you.
"Number 6 is gone," you say to the
nurse.
eyes; he went at three this morning,
poor fellow; it's better for him. she
answers, in sympathizing voice.
We boys, therefore, took solid COM
fort in looking at Lincoln's face that
afternoon and in hearing him talk
! He didn't -sAJ-tr1rrUir 10 me tnat day,
but it was good to hear him say any
thing, his words were SO gentle and kind.
And then he was as thoughtful as a
mother; he knew just what to say.
l had been very sick. Yes, that
sleeves empty. left the arm at Chat
tanooga. As was saying, he only
spoke to me, and passed to No. 26.
A Vermont boy, mere lad, not
over sixteen, was on it. He had been
wounded mortally and was near his
end. Mr.. Lincoln stopped at the cot,
and taking the thin, white hand, said,
in tone that was as tender as a moth
er's:
"My poor boy, what can l do for
your"
With a beseeching look, the little
fellow turned his eyes up at the homely,
kindly face, and asked: "Won't you
write to my mother for me2'
E.That l WILL" answered the Presi
dent, and calling for pen, ink and
paper, he seated himself by the side of
the cot. 1t was long letter he wrote,
at least three pages of commercial note,
and when it was finished, the President
rose up saying:
''I will mail this as soon as l get
back to my office. Now is there any
thing else 1 can do for you -
In some way the boy came to know
that it was the President. And SO look
ing at him in the most appealing way,
he asked:
"Won't you stay with me till it's all
over; it won't be long, and l do want
to hold on to your hand -
That was too much for the great
hearted President to resist. The tears
came to his eyes, and he sat down by him
and took hold of his hand. The little
fellow did not move or speak. This
was some time before four o'clock,
and it was long after six that the end
| came
But the President sat there as patient
I ~ al If he had been the boy's father.
When the end came, he bent over
and folded the thin hands over the
breast, and then looked so sorrowfully
at the pale, thin face. The tears
streamed down his cheeks unheeded
We all cried, too.
Do you wonder ''the boys in blue"
loved Abe Lincoln?

From the ". Y. Times.
There is precisely one cure for snor-
ing and it is to Sir Humphrey Davy
that we owe its discovery. That emf
nent scientific person ascertained that
snoring is due to the abnormal vibra-
tions of the cords of the larynx, and
that this vibration occurs only when
the surface of the larynx has become
dry. A man who sleeps with his mouth
open until his larynx has become dry
by contact with the atmosphere is sure
to snore. Sir Humphrey saw at once
that in order to cure snorer his larynx
must be kept moist or relaxed. He
a Methodist preacher ofunusual snoring
powers that piece of CASTLE soap in
serted in the open mouth of the Snorer
effects an instant cure and warded off
any further attack ofsnoring for at least
"a hours. Repeated applications of
soap broke off the habit of snoring and
thus effect permanent cure.
According to Sir Humphrey Davy,
CASTLE soap, which is composed of olive
oil and soda, is decomposed the mo-
ment it comes in contact with the hu-
man tongue, which has a wonderful
affinity for oxygen. The olive oil,
being thus set free, lubricates and relax
es the larynx, while the sodium is for
cibly expelled in the shape of strongly
alkaline language by the snorer, who
awakes the moment the decomposition of
the soap begins. 1t isseldom necessary
to administer CASTLE soap more than three
or four times, and the most obstinate
case of snoring known to medical men
was cured with six doses.
1t might be remarked that almost
every variety of soap can be used with
benefit as remedy for snoring. Cas-
tile soap is, nevertheless, much more
rapid in its actions than any other va
riety, with the solitary exception Of
soft soap. The latter, however, is sell
dom found outside of farm-houses, and
its administration presents certain ditl'
culties which will hinder it from be-
coming a popular remedy.

came wildly to his remembrance in
the one agonizing moment in which he
lost hope for life. Just SO could see
all my shortcomings, and they looked
hideously great now. Indeed, l had
almost reached the very lowest peg
when my beloved child, my darling Eva,
came reluctantly to the stand. She,
too, had been forced hither by one OF
the judges.
"Most dracious tween," she began
in voice that was weak and tremulouS,
"my mamma is sometimes SO tross
when l ask her to do anything for me,
she says, NETS day. and when l ask her
adm, she is trosser, and says, don't
bouer me: I'm reading"
Poor little Eval l have neglected
her! That conviction brought me to
the lowest peg.
No more witnesses could be discover
ed after Eva had retired, so with sigh
of relief looked up to see what the
queen of justice would say.
ttMy dear sister, you have been
charged with no heinous crime; yet
the little, natural failings that have been
imputed to you are sufficient to forfeit
your right to the grand reward offered.
You are careful to do your duty where
large things are concerned, but at the
risk of your happiness, and that of
your loved ones, you despise the small
things. Always remember that little
pleasures are the most pleasing and
little troubles are the most troublesome.
Christians are apt to be submissive un-
der shocking calamities, but trifing,
everyday announces they allow to harass
their souls. So great delights will af-
ford ecstatic, but evanescent joy,
while little qualification, such as the
kind word, the polite attention, the
token ofdeep affection, these are to both
the giver and the receiver the sources
of their truest, most lasting happiness.
Bear this in mind pray for strength to
overcome the slight as well as the great
failings, and when We meet again in
six months, you will merit, ween, the
pearl of peace and happiness. "
At this juncture awoke, and found
tina. it all had been a dream. But my
question was answered. The faults
which I had not been able to see were
set before me more clearly than mortal
could have set them; and all that was
left for me to do was to labor for their
eradication.
