oou1fBY SCHOOL,

Pretty and pale and tired
she sits in her std backed chair,
While the blazing summer aaln
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the little brook without.
That she hears through the open door.
M0cks with ita murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.
1t seems an endless round
Grammar and A, B, G;
The blackboard and the sums;
The stupid geography;
When from teacher to little Jim
~, Not one OF them cares = straw:
whether 'John" is in any ''case,"
Or Kansas in Omaha.
For Jimmy's bare brown feet
Are aching to wade in the stream.
Where the trout to his Turing bait
Shall leap with quick, bright CLEAN;
And his teachers blue eyes stray
10 the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have flowed her eyes
With half unconscious Sigh
Her heart outruns the clock,
AS she smells their faint sweet scent;
But when have time and heart
Their measure i'll unison blent?
For time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far, behind,
Or flies when you fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jim,
Tho stream and fish will wait;
And patience, tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate, :
Under the willow shade,
. Stands some one with fresher flowers {;
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.

ty, before Judge Collins. The jury was i'm

least five different parties that Mutchler had
threatened to do him bodily injury, and he had
armed himself accordingly; that he had entered
Rush's saloon on the evening of Jan. 10 to col
lect some money from party owing him:
Mutchler followed him, and made personal
attack, when he drew the revolver Mutchle1
then struck him, and grabbed his hand, when
the weapon was discharged accidentally.

Tar Smoke for Diphtheria.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year old child
of Thomas Lockwood, a compositor in
the Times Office, became violently ill
with diphtheria on Tuesday night.
She was so weak that it was deemed
dangerous to try tracheotomy, or cutting
open the windpipe. On Thursday Dr.:
Nichols Of III West Washington place,
who was attending her, received copy
of the Paris Figaro, which contained d
report made to the French academy OF
medicine by DR.. Delthil. DIR, Delthil
said that the vapors Of liquid tar and
turpentine would dissolve the tibrinous
exudations which choke up the throat
in Group and diphtl;eria.
Dr.. Delthils process was described.
He pours equal parts Of turpentine and
liquid tar into a tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense rcsinous
smoke arises, which obscures the air of
the room.
"The patient" DIR. Delthil says, elm
mediately seems to experience relief:
the choking and rattle stop; the patient
falls into slumber and seems to inhale
the smoke with pleasure. The fibrinous
membrane soon becomes detached and
the patient coughs up microbicides.
These, when caught in glass. may be
seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course of three days afterwards the
patient entirely recovers."
DR.. Nichols tried this treatment yes
terday with little Ruth Lockwood. She
was lying gasping for breath when he
visited her. First pouring about two
ta5lesp6onfuls of iquifed tar on an
iron pan, he Poiired as much turpen=
tine over it and set it on fire: The rich
resinous smoke which rose to the cell
ing was by no means unpleasant. AS
it filled the room the child's breathing
became natural, and as the smoke grew
dense she fell asleep.

The Union Signal, of Oct. Both, the ma.
tional organ of the W. G. T. u, says: "The
Southern delegates who sat with us in Con-
vention, whose hearts are as our hearts,
whose hands are firmly and lovingly grasped
in ours, are as earnest Prohibitionists as
any. We know nothing but Ga solid coun-
try against the liquor traffic." We have
no other ''Shibboleth" than the natural ex-
PRESTON of mothers heart-'Saue ny
boy'-and this, like the love that prompts
it, is the same in all lands. The politicians
who have tears only for the woes of the ne
gro in the South, and deaf ears for the cries
of women and children in all sections, who
are beaten and shot down by brutal, drunk
en- men, remind us of an old cartoon of
Nast's, wherein Mr.. Sumner is pictured as
walking on one Of the streets of Washing
ton, and meeting little colored girl, gives
her penny. A white child comes along
directly after, and looking up into the face
of the man of somewhat one-sided philan-
throphy, says piteously, "Pleath thir, give
me, too, penny: 1t amt nsq fault ain t
black" Yesterday morning, in Georgia,
a man crazed with drink, shot his wife and
then his wife's sister, killing both. If the
victims of this dreadful curse had been ne
groes, and the animus could have been
tortured into political one, the entire
country would have resounded with the cries
Of outraged republicanism. Brethren
aohen will you lift up your voices in behalf
of the tortured and murdered ones of Joat7'
oarn household!

cuently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making OF water, but gavei it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
wafer became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes III the legs, made
me SO lame at times that l could scarcely
walk. I consulted one Of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
rivine the least benefit. then consulted
from, time to time, during the last five or
six wears. six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank OF the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though 1

excruciating suffering yetupon the whole

snects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that | could not cross
nv legs when sitting on chair-all of
which. thew said, was caused By diabetes.
T then tried some highly lauded patent
medicine. But they all turned out to be
humbues. 1 had given up all hopes Of
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
when noticed in the papers some Won
derlul cures that PERUNA had made in
this city, as prescribed by DR.. Hartman,
oiving the name and address of each per-
son treated. I called to- see him; he at
once prescribed his PERUNA, which is not
over three weeks. ago. am SO much
better that if I would not improve any
more. l would not for any amount that
had not placed myself under his treat

The swelling and stiffness in my legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in whole night. am, indeed,
quite we'll again. Don't hesitate, don't
say humbug, but get the PERUNA at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
If YOU think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and see me and
see for yourself"

REMAINS EARLY LOVE AFFAIR.-"Very
soon grew to take great pleasure in the
society of little girls. much preferred
their society to that of little boys. In fact,
boys disliked me, and on account of my
delicate appearance used to call me Miss.
Among these little girls there was one who
fascinated me. Her name was 'Noemi.'
She was perfect model of grace and
beauty. When our playmates would quar-
rel Noemi and would try to bring about
peace. But she was very sceptical as to
the issues of these well-meant endeavors.
