TEMPTATION.

Go ask the strong man, he Of honors might,
Hath he rot bowed his head and fought the fight
'Gainst s.rong temptation cart before his way,
That fam would bind him with its magic sway?
Hath not the channels of bis hOnOr's mind
Grown vapid with increasing right confined?
Hath not the queens of beauty e'er beeuiled
His VOW of faith, while they upon him smiled?
Look on yon maid, she who in virtue dreams!
'Twere sacriIeeious 10 instilI the CLEANS
OF heli's own iendiShness meath rosy gujse;
Look love, speak love, tempt through loves eyes.
Her ways OF love are sweetly pure and fair,
The future holds her precious fruits and rare;
Yet virtues only virtue in its worth,
When it fells temptat on to the earth.
Temptation stalks by night or light OF day;
Nor priest. nor maid, nor king, nor mortal thing
But feels the touch of sharp temp atoms sting.
Rear in your might and right, and virtues proof
Will bid the foul tempter stand aloof.

A New Danger From tho Kinks.

DR.. John T. Nagle, registrar of vital
statistics, in recent interview called at
tention to the terrible increase of pneu.
monia within the past few weeks, and to
the large percentage of deaths from it.
Last week this disease was responsible
for cne-ffth of all the deaths in the city,
and week before last for nearly as many.
In the month of January 1856 people died
of pneumonia here, and in February $50.
During the first two weeks of March POI
died. If this rate had been kept up for
the other two weeks of March mortality
from this disease would have reached
the startling figure of 645-a number
about twice as large as any month up to
this year ever showed.
The startling increase DR.. Nagle is in
clined to attribute largely to the roller
skating Kinks. There is no way of trac-
ing the cases directly to that, but it is
highly probable, by priori reasoning,
that violent exercise in heated room
for several hours, taken in street cos
tunes, and followed by a walk or ride in
the cold and damp night air, would pro-
duce inflammation of the lungs; and when
one considers that fifteen thousand or
twenty thousand young people indulge
in this amusement every night, it seems
reasonable to connect it with the alarm
ing increase Of pneumonia.
Roller-skating, done with moderation,
and with proper precaution taken about
going out afterward, may be healthful
exercise; but there are so many dangers
connected with it-dangers of bodily in
jury, of evil company, of physical expos
ure, of general ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pa
rents need to be very careful in allowing
their children to attend the rinks.-NeW

The president has issued a proclama-
ton warning all persons to vacate what
is known as the Winnebago lands in Da-
kota, thereby revoking President Ar
thurs order opening the reserva.
ton to settlement. The set
tiers have been seeding, and
all have invested in improvements and
to be evlcted would bankrupt many.
One dispatch says the old soldiers among
the settlers declare it Is . rank injustice
that their little homesteads should be
taken after they have been entered upon
in good faith, when the benefit would
accrue to the Indians who made no use
of them. Trouble is feared, for force
may be required to dispossess them.
Troops will undoubtedly be necessary
to enforce the provisions of the procla-
nation.

yet. Each man of the pirate crow, . his
feet struck the deck, trod upon 1t least .
dozen of those sharp pointed tacks. Into
the leather-like soles Of those Ma'ay feet
the horrible tacks we're driven, and under
the first stroke of terrific pain down
they went-the whole lot of them-upon
their hands and knees, and filled the air
with howls of anguish. Worse and
more of it. Into their knees and into
the broad palms of their hands went the
torturing tacks, until the savage horde
were literally insane with exquisite
pain.
Babeon could not find it in his heart
to fire pistol, nor use cutlas.
The story of the next ten minutes can
be imagined much better than we can
tell it. OF course, not one of those Ma
lays could hold knife; for every hand
was pierced with the tacks; they could
not defend themselves in any way, 9th
er than by getting back into their proa
as quickly as possible. And this they
did. Though their torture was dreadful,
and though the act of either walking or
crawling made the torture more dread
full, still to save life, they endured the
lesser evil for the time.
It was just as the Malays threw their
grapplings that the breeze, from the
northwest, had struck the ship; and, as
the last of the piratical crew were back
into their proa, the yards were braced,
and the Gazelle, with q thrill of pulsat-
ing joy, moved safely away from the
scene Of grotesque horror.
There were tunes when Capt. Babson
was inclined to blame himself for having
suffered hundred bloodthirsty pirates
to live, whose lives had been once so
completely within his power, either to
take or to spare; but two sources of con-
ISOLATION were his: First-He had not the
blood ola defenceless fellow-creature up
on his hands; and, Second-He had
caused those hundred wretches to sui.
fer an agony of torture to which death
might have been far preferable.
Capt. c. P. Heustis, when he told me
the story, smilingly added:
"The last time l saw Captain Babson,
he took from his pocket-book, where he
carried it neatly folded, certificate of
non-ipdebtedness, in due form, from his
consignees at Singapore, wherein they
acknowledged the receipt of just and
satisfactory equivalent for twelve gross
of copper canvas tacks, by him expend-
ed, for the use of himself and crew, on
shipboard!"

WHAT WOULD DO.
By JOSEPHINE D. HILL.

What would do, little blue eyes,
Were rich. and young, and fair
Iwouid build Q magnificent palace
With everything costly and rare.
With trees and flowers ID surroundit.
With fountains and birds bright and gay,
That would rival the sun of the Indus.
Then what would do neXn You say,
would build all the fairy stories,
Dolls. p'ay-houses, and kittens;
would buy pretty dresses ana laces.
Abundance of warm hoods and mittens.
Then I'd send out an invitation
To every tired child In the land,
Who had cross mothers or nurses,
To come to my palace grand,
Wide open I'd fling the windows,
Filtering in sunshine and air;
Wide open would be the gateway
Whilst /, rich, young, and FAM
Wou d welcome and kiss the children
And tell them to roam free of care,
Up and down the grand carved stairway,
In and ont midst the flowers rare,
Unchecked would bemerry laughter
Ringing SO loud aud clear,
Echoing OH to the great hereafter,
Ripping SO sweet on the ear,
Then when toe Little old sand man
Paused at each dropping head
would nestle and kiss my darlings
AS tucked them SO warm in bed,
But alasl my dear little blue eyes,
I'm not rich or young or fair,
Only tired little woman
With threads Of tilvery hair.

RHE,
The rye area has decreased. a eom-
pared with last year. Being much
harder plant than wheat it did not suf-
fer go severely from the hard freexine.
About ten per cent. Of the area was win
ter. killed. and the remainder now shows
. condition of eighty.nine per cent. q
compared with that of last wear. It ia
very backward, and is not affordine the
usual Spring pasture. Possibly three
fourths of the acreage is to be found in
the northwestern counties.
Horses came through the Winter in
fair condition, being somewhat thin in
flesh, owing to the extreme cold. and in
some instances t0insufficient food. The
usual number of cases of distemper.
"pink.eye," ETC., are mentioned, but no
serious epidemics have been met with.
Chambers is not mentioned by correspon-
dents 80 frequently as in former years;
this disease, under good management,
having decreased largely. Horses and
mules are in good condition for Spring
work.
There have been during the Fall and
Winter heavy losses among cattle. There
ID hardly county in the State that does
not report serious loss from turning cat
tie into stalk fields, where an insufficient
amount OF water and salt was provided.
In the Western counties range cattle"
suffered heavy loss from exposure and
lack of feed, probably the largest for sew
eral years owing to the unusual severity
of the Winter. Cattle were particularly
free from disease during the past Win
ter, the only loss being from bad man
agement, as above stated. They are in
fair condition, although unusually thin
in flesh, resulting from the severity of
the Winter and the lack of sufficient
food and shelter.
Sheep, on the Western ranges, are in
poor condition, owing to insufficient
food and shelter. A very large per cent
of lambs were lost from exposure. The
"scab" has not been as serious as in for
mer years, but slight loss being reported
from this cause.
Nearly every county in the Eastern
two-thirds of the State reports more or
less cholera among hogs. In nearly
every instance the cause of this disease
is traced directly to importation from
the stock-yards along our eastern bor-
der. Twenty per cent of young pigs
died from the effects of the extreme
cold.
FRUIT.
Correspondents report apple buds
generally. alive, and promising a fair
crop of fruit. Peach buds were killed by
the severe cold in all portions of the
state, except in the south-central. where
the promise for full crop is ercourag-
ing. Pears and cherries promise an
average yield, except in the extreme
northern counties, where they were
damaged considerably during the winter.
Blackberries and raspberries suffered
from freezing, and will not make an
average crop. The harder varieties of
grapes promise an abundant yield in all
sections, while strawberries will make
about half crop. The prospect for a
fruit crop is much more encouraging
than was anticipated.

in which it was raised; the average price
of this grain in local markets. March Is,

per cent. of the corn held by farmers is
on the market, it being retained in most
instances for home use.

DEATH FROM NOSE BLEED.

On Christmas DR.. Frazer was called
upon by some persons from Manitowoc
Rapids to attend man who was troubled
with bleeding from the nose. It seemed
to be an ordinary case and as the doctor
was busy he simply gave directions as to
what should be DONE A few hours after
be went out and found that the bleeding
did not yield to the treatment. He
managed to stop the bleeding and fearing
that it was symptom of typhoid fever
gave instructions that he be sent for
in case the patient should grow worse.
He was called out again on Friday and
found it necessary to plug the nasal pas
sage from behind, but the bleeding con-
tinued. 1t refused to yield to all known
treatments. On Sunday fever set i'll
and on Monday the man died. He had
for some time been in stupor which the
family mistook for sleep.
The mans name was Charles Pitts, %
years OF age, strong, healthy and of good
habits. The manner of his death leads
the doctor to believe that it resulted from
hemorrhage of the brain. It was q very
peculiar case.
