On the Death Of an Invincible Soldier

. what a sore campaign.
OF which men long shall tell,
Ended when he was slain.
When this our greatest fell.
For him no mold had cast
A bullet surely sped:
No falchion, welded fast.
His iron blood had shed.
Death on the hundredth field
Had failed to bring him low;
He was not born to yield
To might of mortal foe.
Even to himself unknown
He bore the fated sword,
Forged somewhere near his throne
OF battles. still the Lord.
That weapon, when he drew.
Back rolled the wrath of men
Their onset feebler grew.
The nation rose again.
The splendor and the fame
Whisper of these alone:
Nor say that round his name
A moments shade was thrown.
Count not each satellite
'TwiXt him and glory'S sun.
The circling things Of night $
Number his battles won.
Where then to choose his grave?
From mountain unto sea.
The Land be found to save
His sepulchre shall be.
Yet to its fruitful earth
His quickening ashes lend,
That chieftainS NAV have birth
And patriots without end.
His carven scroll shall read:
Here rests the valiant heart
Whose duty was his creed
Whose choice, the warriors part.
Who, when the fight was done,
The grim last foe detied,
Naught knew save victory Won
Surrendered not-but died.

FOR. OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
JOHNNY RUNS AWAY.


The sky was clear, the stars were bright,
The grass was wet with dew,
When Johnny rose, put on his clothes,
And vowed what he would do.
I'll leave my pa, I'll leave my ma:
I'll go from here to stay;
My parents both have been unkind
And so IN run away.
I'll take my clothes, I'll take my all,
A slave / will not be;
III go out West, and do my best
I'll strike for libertyp
And Johnny started braveiy out,
And said he'd ne'er return;
He said he'd go where he could live
And let his genius burn.
BE Travelled all that summer night,
And bravely through the day;
And then ne said: ~ wish that I
Had never run away.
I'm tired and weak-rm sick" said he,
With sadness in his tone;
1t isn't best to go out West
At least to go alone.
Sand now I'm in pretty fix,
And don't know what to do;i'
And then he sighed and sobbed and cried
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo boo-hool"
The boy, when found, was taken home
And was content to stay:
Said he: sI'm cured, and rest assured,
No more I'll run away!"

PARIS GREEN.

The Importance of Great and Constant
Carefulness in Using This Deadly
Poison.
Paris green is so deadly poison tn at
some persons think it should never be
used to kill insects on growing crops.
Some go as far as to refuse eating po-
tatoes altogether, since it is so COM
monty employed. A few prominent
journals favor its prohibition by law.
1t can not be questioned that serious
injury, and sometimes fatal results,
have occurred from employing it.
Those who apply it are often careless,
and allow the wind to blow the dust
into their nostrils, or they breathe. the
minute portions which rise in the air in
mixing it. In one case poor fence
between pasture and potato patch
allowed a herd of cows to break in, and
several died from eating the poison.
Animals have been poisoned from the
vessels containing the arsenic, carelessly
used for feeding. A field of potatoes
on the windward side of vegetable
garden caused some of family to be-
come poisoned by eating the vegetables
which had received some of the Paris
green from the wind.
Such accidents, although few and far
between, show the importance of great
caution. The same care is required in
the use of powerful appliances or ma
chinery of any kind. Steam engines
sometimes destroy life. but men con-
tinue to make and use them. Fatal
accidents occur ON railroads, but we are
hardly willing to abolish them. Barbed-
wire fences injure cattle and horses, but
they have proved too useful and efficient
for farmers to give them up. There is
no necessity for accidents from Paris
green with proper care. Millions of
persons eat the tubers of potatoes I'M
harmed, for the poison, being insoluble,
can not enter them, and there is enough
iron, the antidote, in all soils to neu-
tralize any portion which may reach
the earth. The chief danger is that
when people become familiar with any
thing they grow careless in its use. 1t
is important, therefore, to continue the
constant caution which is commonly
used at first, but too often relaxed after
ward ou71tTu Gentleman.

POISON IN CANNED GOODS.

Shloride of Zinc. Freely Used by Gamers.
as Deadly as Arsenic.
so many cases of poisoning have
taken place by reason of the use Of
canned goods that we. seeking for a
definite cause, find it arises from chlor-
ide OF zinc. This is poison almost as
deadly as arsenic, and has place in
the closing of cans once occupied bv
arsenic. Its adoption grew out of the
ease with which it can be used, skilled
labor not being required for its applica-
ton, and besides, though not cheaper in
Itself, it could be applied to cheaper
quality of tin plate. of which the cans
were then made. It was not until il
was used for this purpose that cases of
poisoning from the use of canned fruits
and vegetables were known, although
its effects as a poison in foreign coun-
tries, particularly in Germany, England
and France, were subject of medical
aud chemical investigation long ago. A
child was fatally poisoned by it in Lon
don, and was unsuccessfully treated by
the faculty of the medical school of
London hospital, and the general symp-
toms OF its malady were similar TO those
attending all the cases of poisoning by
reason OF the use of canned goods. The
eanner uses the dangerous material
freely, applying it with a large brnsh.
working SO rapidly as to cap ten cans
minute, and by the very reason of the
haste and carelessness of the method
employed admitting greater or less
amount of the poison into every can.
The consumption Of these canned goods,
amounting to ten cans for every person
IN the United States every year, gives
an appreciable idea of the vastness of
the attack made upon the human ston--
ach IN this country. Gamers must stop
using this deadly poison, which attacks
the vital organs with resistless vigor.
and laws that fail TO consider this i'm.
pertant feature OF the question fail in
g important particular. = BrookLsa

THE SNAIL FAMILY.


Where 1t Takes Up Its Abode, and the

Daisy is little girl three years old.
She has blue eyes that open wide with
wonder when she is surprised and
twinkle with fun and mischief great
deal of the time pretty little rosy
mouth and an abundance of long golden
hair.
Now this hair has long been great

hair gets badly tangled, and fairly ties
itself up in knots, so that when ii is
combed there are a great many little
shrieks and jumps from Daisy.
But one day when Auntie was brush

made all the trouble. And what do you
suppose it WASP Why. family by the
name of Snarl had moved into Daisy's
hair, and they didn't like to be turned
out There was Father and Mother
Snarl, and JOHNNY and Susan; besides
lot of little Snarls. And as Auntie
chased each one to its hiding place she
lectured them and demonstrated with
them on their naughtiness in troubling
Daisy so.
There, Johnny Snarl, see you
hiding behind Daisy's ear. Aren' you
ashamed to plague little girl SOP
Now don't think you can escape; you
will have to come out. y
''Ah! that was Susan that pulled SO.
She is stubborn girl, is Susan Snarl,
and determined not to come out
''And here is Mother Snarl, and ever
SO many of the little ones with her
Such provoking family! Even baby
Snarl pulls as hard as he can.
And Daisy gets so interested in the
doings of the Snarl family that sic fol-
gets all abort the hurt and laughs aloud
at the discontinue of Johnny or the
hard chase Auntie has after susan.
Sometimes the Snarls have eom2any.
A great many aunts and uneles and
cousins have come to visit them. Tbs
