For "THE UNION"
On Hearing q Bird Sing.

Sweet bird, who taught that silvery strain
Those notes which more than earthly seem?
Were such sweet sounds all made in vain,
Or do they with lesson TEEN?
Why com'st thou here to tell thy tale?
Is it tale of love or woe?
Hath thy young heart e'er felt the wall,
The grief, which we poor mortals know?
Have all forsaken, proved unkind,
That thou shouldst seek a listening ear?
Such things are common with mankind
How is it, warbler, in thy sphere?
Or wouldst thou sing of happier cline,
Where summer reigns eternal queen
Where every sound seems but a chime
Of natures harmony serene?
Where thou hast sung, mid rosy bowers,
Some tale of love, full well and oft,
While cen the breeze, through list'ning flowers,
Has sighed thee back an answer SOFT
I ask, but thou to me art mute
Thy tongue speaks not the tongue of men
IT'S well, thy voice keep as the Lutte
Once changed, it were not thus again.
oftssss in childhOOd,s golden pEEhi@gss. Ehgs;.
That might take some flight sublime,
And sing my song in air as Free
But laer years and later thought
Have brought reflection in their train
Have taught me, with what else they've taught,
We should not sigh for what is vain.
Thou hast thy sorrows-we have ours
Thou hast thy joys, and so have we
Each living thing must have its hours
Of brightness, gladness, misery.
If thou canst soar through air, and sing
Strains which we envy at thy will,
Let us remember We may wing,
And soar and sing when thou art still.
When thou art still, and earth and time,
And all that in their range is given,
Then we, in yon immortal cline,
Shall soar and sing for aye in Heaven

How to Woo SIumaber.
Demorest's MonfAlU.

Democrats Monthly.
Abram S. Hewitt is, it seems, a vic
tim to insomnia-that is, sleeplessness.
This is a very prevalent and growing
disease in this country. This is not the
place to give the genesis of this disor-
der; but perhaps a few hints as to its
treatment may be useful. In the first
place, no drugs or opiates should ever
be taken. They give no permanent re-
lief, but only add to the bodily distem-
pers which induce loss Of sleep. A
tepid bath before retiring, with the
base of the brain and spine sponged
with cold water, is often effectual in
SECURING good nights rest The OBJ
iect should be to draw blood from the
brain to the lower part of the body.
Late meals should be avoided, unless
they are habitual. Rest, and even sleep
are natural after full meal. This IS
as true of human beings as of hogs.
The siesta after dinner is common IN
warm countries, and sleep is natural
after a meal if habitual, for the blood
is then drawn from the brain to help
digest the food. Yet every one knows
that, if accustomed to eat full supper
or dinner five or six hours before retir-
ing, that the eating of an unusual meal
Immediately before retiring is provoca-
tive of disturbed dreams and unqulet
rest, ifnot absolute sleeplessness. Any
thing that will fix the attention helps
sleep. The counting numbers back
wards and forwards will sometimes in
duce somnolency. Counting imagina-
ry sheep jumping an imaginary fence
has been found effective. Rolling about
the eye-balls or gazing at the root of the
nose, often induces state of body and
mind which brings on slumber. A
writer in Chambers Journal has new
receipt for insomnia. He found that
when in intense thought, the mind be-
ing especially active, the eye-balls
turned upwards. When sleepless he
tries to turn them down, with the re-
suit of soon becoming unconscious.
This writer says it required an active
effort of the will to keep the eyes in the
down-turned position; but in his case
it always ended in sleep.

A War Adventure of Wade Hamp.
ton.

Mr.. James R. Randall sends the fol-
lowing story from Washington to the
Augusta ga Chronicle: ga middle
aged man approached Gen. Hampton
the other day and asked his influence
in pressing a claim before the military
committee of the Senate. The stranger
then said: General, am very glad to
see you again. You do not recognize
me, but you personally made prisoner
of me during the war Comparing
notes, Hampton found out it was
fact, and recalled the circumstance.
He was accommodating one night and
missed his way. Around him burned
many more camp fires than he had left
behind him Entering house he dis
covered that he had strayed in the
enemy's lines. A few soldiers were
seated at table, and abruptly address
ing them as if a superior officer of their
own army, he asked who they were and
what they were doing there. One man
spoke up and replied: 'We belong to
the Eighth New York regiment, and
Gen. Warren sent us to get milk. =
Hampton felt that all of his nerve and
address would be required to extricate
himself from this dangerous position.
He reached for his pistol, held it along
his thigh, and, on leaving the house,
commanded the man who had spoken
to him to follow. He did so. Hamp-
ton mounted his horse and called the
man to him. Bending down to the
Federalsoldier' ear he whispered: !i've
pistol aimed at your head, and will
shoot you if an alarm is made. The
surprised soldier whispered: Don't
shoot; l surrender Hampton bade
him to move on just ahead of his horse,
and so brought him to the Confederate
camp. 1t was the man after more than
IwOrIvJ -----, l:.--.oz zato- and ocked
a favor of him, as Senator, that he
was more than willing to grant. 1t was
a strange and romantic coincidence in
the returning cycles of time

Hot Water Remedies.

There is no remedy of such general
application, and none SO easily attaina-
Bile, as water and yet nine persons in
ten will pass by it in an emergency to
seek for something of far less efficiency.
There are but few cases of illness
where water should not occupy the
highest place as remedial agent.
A strip of flannel or a napkin folded
lengthwise, and dipped in hot water
and wrung out, and then applied around
the neck of child that has Group will
usually bring relief in ten minutes.
A towel folded several times and
dipped in hot water, and quickly wrung
and applied over the seat of the pain in
toothache or neuralgia, will generally
afford prompt relief This treatment
in collie works almost like magic. |
have seen cases that have resisted other
treatment for hours yield to this in 10
minutes. There is nothing that will
GO -DremDtlF cut short a congestion
the lungs, Soar throat or rheumatism,
as hot water when applied promptly
and thoroughly.
Pieces of cotton batting dipped in
hot water and keep applied to old sores,
or new cuts, bruises and sprains, is the
treatment now generally adopted in
hospitals. | have seen sprained an
kle cured in an hour by showering it
with hot water, poured from height
of three feet.
Tepid water acts promptly as an emet-
ic, and hot water taken freely half an
hour before bedtime is the best ofcarthar-
tics in case of constipation, while it has
most soothing effect on the stomach aud
bowels. This treatment continued for
few months with proper attention to
diet, will cure any curable disease of
dyspepsia.
Headache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot water to
the feet and back of the neck.
1t is an excellent plan to recall facts
like those in note book, which should
be always at hand when wanted. In
the anxiety caused by accident or sud-
den illness in the family, one becomes
confused and is not apt to remember
quickly what should be done; hence
there may be prolonged and unnecessary
suffering before proper remedies are ap-
piled.

Farmers Girls as Poultry Raisers.

We know of several very notable in
stances of great success being achiev-
ed in raising poultry and eggs by farm
er girls. 1t is a branch of industry
very engaging to young ladies, and
nearly always excites great interest and
attention. The best proof of this IS
the nearly always certain success of Ia
dred fowls in the care of the widest
girl of the family, let her know her re-
sponsibility, require an expense account'
assists with her books and ten to one
she will prove a successful poultry
raiser. Give the farmers girls chance
like the boys (and the boys do not
have one-tenth enough and then you
will have an antidote for dress frivollty
foolishness, love-sick sentimentalisms
trashy reading and brain emnm.
Responsibility of position, pleasant
occupation and pecuniary success de
yelop brain and heart and the purse
and a good brain, kind heart and
well-flled purse are the three America
graces.

Trying to Talk Quaker.

1t isno easy matter, says an exchange,
for a novice to fling "Quaker" fluent
ly. The tongue becomes confused
with its triple choice of pronouns and
flaps helplessly around the palate.
Iwell recollect my clumsy efforts to en-
gage in conversation with a farmer
whom met in Cheste county, the Quak-
er stronghold of Pennsylvania. When l
happened upon him he was sitting upon
worm fence, vacantly staring at a
cream-colored colt in an adjacent field.
I at once OWNED him to be Friend in
undress, and determined to delight the
old fellow and amuse myself by carry
ing on a skillful dialogue in his own
idiom. This is how l succeeded:
"How do thee do, sir? Is-that is,
are thee meditating2" If he was de-
lighted he controlled his emotion ad-
mirably. All he did was to cape and
inquire:
"Hey2" :,
"The field, the birds, the flowers, "
l pleasantly pursued, "are enough to
bring thou dreams mean dreams to
thou"
He was looking at me now, and
critically. l felt that my syntax had
been very idiotic instead of idiomatic,
so, wiping the sweat from my brow and
hat, eyed him calmly and observed;
'sThose COWS, are they thys-ol
thees-that is, thous2 l mean thineS
1t was very unfortunate. He crawl
ed down from the fence, nibbled at
plug of nickel nugget-an act OF itself
sufficient to unquaker him-and as he
rambled away muttered Indignantly.
