GIVE THEM NOE.

Wherein no care can creep.
Would you not shower upon my poor dead

brace
To take into my grave?
D. give them ere pass beyond the reach
OF loving smile and word.
For II may be your gift of kindly speech

one little though trivial il may seem
rendered for loves sweet sake
Would bring nv troubled life one golden
And soothc its weary ache
One tender smiIe-such as you used TO give
In other, happier days
When, darling, il was oh. so sweet to live.l
Would light earth's darkest ways
One heartfelt kiss-that have missed SO
With its glad. old-time thrills;
0ne-Only one-I think would make me strong
To bear all earthly ills.
The path appointed for woman's feet.
At best i hard and rough:
To know that We arc loved - passing sweet:
But oh! It's not enough.
Ny heart would faui>h with the meager dole
That you so oft beStOw;

But, darling. tel mc 40!

The Danger OF Judging by Appearances.

Do not think the conductor a surly
fellow because he answers your queS-
ton somewhat CURLY. Remember that
you are probably the one hundred and
ninetieth person who has made the same
inquiry.
Do not blame the young gentleman
for not giving his seat to that elderly
lady with the child in her arms. Per-
haps his legs are as weak as his head,
poor fellow,
Possibly it is not because of ingrati-
sude that the young lady does not return
thanks for the gentleman courtesy
She may be just from the dentists,
where she has left her teeth and meas
ure for an indigenous set.
Do not find fault with the man who
persistently keeps to the left on the
sidewalk. How do you know but he
has been endeavoring for the last hour
to pass people to the right. and has
finally given over the attempt in de-
spair?
Do not chide the young man who
uses profanity in the presence of Ia
dies. He is undoubtedly ashamed of
himself.
Do not laugh at the young fellow who
bangs his hair. As he Is clearly not 4
man, he Is perfectly right in trying to
make himself look as much like a wo-
man as possible.
Be not too hard upon the gentleman
who knocks you on the head at mid
nights silent hour and carries off YOUR
purse. The kleptomaniac is TO be pitied

Do not think, because a man snaps
you up every time YOU speak to him,
that he has not an agreeable disposition.

Be not too severe in your structures
upon the young man who smokes in the
presence of ladies. Perhaps he doesn't

Do not think a man impolite because

Cough.

The question is frequently asked
What is good for cough?" In the
absence OF any information concerning
the nature of the cause of the same. We
must reply that cough is not a disease,
but the symptom of some one or more
of many diseases; it varies IN character
according to the nature of the particu-
lar disease with which it is connected.
and. in any instance, it can be safely
Interfered with or healthily removed,
only by attacking or curing the disease
or diseases which occasion it. Coughs
of different kinds attend almost all dis
eases Of the respira DRY organs. from
the slightest TO the most deadly-catarrh
pneumonia, pleurisy, consumption,
asthma, or thick wind and broken wind
and they do not only indicate the exist
enne of these diseases, but. BY their
different kinds Of sounds. actions. and
svmpathies, materially assist us To dis
tnguish each of the diseases from the
rest. Other coughs, especially such a.
are chronic or of long continuance are
Occasioned by diseases which might
seem To have little or no special connec-
ton with the air particularly
by diseases OF the liver diseases of the
stomach, irritations OF the intestinal
canal. and great variety of nervous
Il sprdcrs. Nervous or sraSmoliC
coughs are. Of course. far more nume-.
ou~ ana diversified in the human sub
ject than in horses and cattle; but
coughs are perhap, quite a. many and
troublesome. \ cough, even before
affecting the horses Wind" though
usually spoken of As disease. under
the name of chronic cough NAV be a
symptomatic disorder of very diversified
cause and nature, which ought to be at
tackled only through the disease which
OCCASIONS it. When developing itself
into severe or permanent in jury OF the
respiration, it becomes identified with
what is commonly called thick wind
and broken wind-Prairie Farmer.

Salt and Mustard.

Dr. Hall. OF the J0urnG, of Health,
medal properties OF salt and mustard:
Half teaspoOnful of common table
salt dissolved in little cold water. and
drank, will instantly relieve heart
burn" or dyspepsia If taken every
morning before breakfast, increasing
the quantity gradually to teaspoonful
of salt and tumbler of water, it will,
in few days, cure any ordinary case OF
dyspepsia. if, at the same time due at
tention is paid to the Diet There is no
better remedy than the above, for con-
stipation. As a gargle for sore throat,
it IS equal to chlorate of potash, and is
entirely safe. 1t may be used as often
as desired, and if little is swallowed
each time, it will have a beneficial eff
feet on the throat, by cleansing it, and
by allaying the irritation. In doses Of
one to four teaspoontuls in half a pint
to q pint of tepid water, it acts prompt
" as an emetic; and in cases of poison
ing is always at hand. 1t is an excel
lent remedy for bites and stings of in
sects. 1t is a valuable astringent in
hemorrhages, particularly for bleeding
after the extraction of teeth. 1t has
both cleansing and healing properties,
and is therefore a most excellent appli-
cation for superficial liberation.
Mustard is another valuable remedy.
No family should be without it. Two
or three teaspOonfulS OF ground
mustard, stirred into half pint OF
water, acts as an emetic very prompt
", and is milder and easier to take
than salt and water. Equal parts of
ground mustard and -four or meal,
made into a paste with warm water,
and spread on thin piece of muslin,
with another piece OF muslin laid over
it. forms the often indispensable mus

For all internal pains and cOngestiOns,
there IS no remedy Of such general Utii-

tard plaster should be applied to the
back OF the child's neck. The same
treatment will relieve almost any case

be moved about over the place TO be

plaster acts as well when az a consider

Royal NepotiSm.

The Duke of Edinburg has just been
appointed to the command of the
Channel Squadron very lucrative
post in the navy. and which Is almost
sinecure. This appointment has been
made over the heads of several unem-
ployed Admirals, who are justified liz
resenting this quite common nepotism
which characteriZes the wishes, and,
as far as decency and authorities
will Hermit. the actions of the Queen.
All her Majesty's sons are well provided
for, and Yet she is never satisfied with
their worldly prospects, but sboye5
them into every vacant post where
there is money. 1t Is estimated that the
Queen saves annually from her Par.ia-
mentary allowance alone $500. 600. She
receives annually S2.7J0.0OO. Her
Majesty's personal wealth is said 10 be
enormous. and her investments are
sources OF constant thought and care
with her. Notwithstanding that the
Nation pays the Queen this fj50,OOO
year, she does not maintain her Own
family out of that sum, for We find the
following amounts voted from time 70

quest: Crown Princess OF Germany,

are royal perquisites'' that amount to
vast sums, such as the S250,000 the
Prince of Wales receives annually from

Frencl, Market in New Orleans.

Arriving at the French market at
an early hour in the morning, says a
New Orleans correspondent, your eyes
behold a most remarkable sight. The
buildings devoted to this use cover
about three times the area embraced by
the Chicago Exposition building, and
you imagine that the inhabitants of the
whole city have come forth to do their
marketing and purchase their supplies
for the week. You hear a number of
languages spoken-French, Spanish,
German and English-and see the rep
resentatives of every nation on the face
of the earth. The French are talking
English, the negroes are talking
French, the German is trying his
tongue at both, and the nonplussed
Yankee shakes his head and won
ders if the jargon heard at the building
of the Tower of Babel has been watt
ed to him across the lapse of centuries!
In this wonderful market is offered
for sale everything that is kept in the
stores and shops of the city, and there
scarcely an imaginable human want
that cannot be readily supplied-dry
goods, groceries, clothing, notions,
iewelry, poultry, meats, aud for ayari-
ETY.. young puppies. alligatorS. parrots
and mocking birds. The variety Of
saltwater fish was very fine, and the
display of meats was a great surprise
to Northerners, after witnessing the
average poverty-stricken appearance OF
the Louisiana cattle. The mystery
was solved by finding out from inquiry
among the butchers that all this fine
beef, pork and mutton comes from
Texas.
