Pain.

Pain being the result of too much
blood in part, as a very general
rule, the remedy, in severe and
pressing cases, is to apply mus
tard-plaster near that part, which
draws the blood away, as is seen by
the rcddening of the skin.
The most ugonizing pains are
often removed in the twinkling Of
an eye by dipping II bit of cloth
(woolen, flannel or cotton) in a mix
turo of equal parts Of sweet oil
chloroform and strong spirits OF
hartshom just shaken together and
spread over the spot, with hand
kerchief wadded in the hand and
held over the cloth so as to retain
the more volatile ingredients; to be
removed the moment the pain
ceases.
The safest and most comfortable
application in nature for the relief
of all pain, especially that arising
from inflammation, is wooden cloth
kept very warm, even hot, by the
steady addition Of hot water, or a
stream of warm water, where the
painful part admits it. When pain
is severe, sharp or thrilling there is
inflammation, and arises from there
being too much blood in the ar
teries if dull and heavy, it is caus-
ed from there being too much blood
in the veins.
The pain of inflammation gives
heat; hence, headache with hot
head is from too much blood in the
arteries, and there is throbbing
draw it away by putting the feet in
very hot water; this often removes
pain in any part of the body above
the ankles.
When there is too much blood in
the veins of the head there is dul,
pain or great depression Of spirits
and the feet are always cold. 1t is
this excess of blood in the veins o
the head or brain which always
induces the dependency which Sc
frequently causes suicide. Whcr
this is attempted by cutting thu
throat the relief is instantaneous
and the victim becomes anxious fo
the life he had just attempted t,
destroy. Hence, good out-doo
walk or hot bath, a sudden fit o
laughter or a terrible burst of pas
sion, by dispensing the blood to TIN
surface from the centres, puts tn
blues and mcgrims to flight also

For Thee I'd Cast the World Aside,

For thee I'd cast world aside,
As all too worthless, when compared
With thy dear love for naught beside
value now; although cared
As Others care for honor, fame
And all that makes vain glory bright !
But honor's now an empty name,
And glory sheds too dim light.
My heart now beats for only one;
My ears hear only thy sweet voice;
For love unerringly has done
Ills work, and thou'rt my souls own
choice!
Naught care now for gided show
The worlds cold policy scorn;
For with thy loving heart | know.
Oh, who would throw his wealth aside
OF women's love for carths dull dross?
Ills she will stem life's swelling tide,
And bear with man each bitter cross
And, as my yearning soul has found
Another like to mine, in thee,
SO love like ours no time can bound
Twill live beyond life's troubled sea |

Now is the time for making gera-
mum cuttings for winter Towering.
Young shoots are the best for propa
cation. Cut the pieces just below
leaf; put them in boxes or flower
pots, placing bit of potsherd just
under each slip. Set the pots and
boxes in shady place and keep the
earth moist. Large slips will root
Just as well as small ones. Care must
be taken, however, when large slips
are cut to choose well formed pieces,
else the plants will be awkward look
ing. Any good earth is suitable for
the slips, but be sure to have a little
charcoal or bits of potsherds in the
bottom of the pots or boxes for drain
age. Cut the slips in the morning
before the sun has touched them, or
in the cool of the evening. Use a
sharp knife and make a clean cut.
If there be uncertainty as to how
many leaves ought to be removed a
safe plan is to take pair of scissors
and cut off half of each leaf, follow
ing its contour, and for smNll slips
let two entire leaves at the top re-
main. From Il scarlet geranium
with two shoots, each about eight
inches long, set in the ground il
slring, / took twenty cuttings, all o
which were thrifty boomers. In two
seasons there were in all sixty pots
of plants obtained from the single
stock. / never throw away piece
of geranium, but plant it, no matte
how small or stumpy it is. In THU
way any one may have as man!
plants as are needed for bedding
besides being able to give number
away to friends who have neithe
the time nor inclination for propaga
ting them. Large gerniums may b
put away in the cellar, planted il
boxes. They must be taken to tn
light in the early spring SO that the,
may be in fit condition for gettin

THE POET OF THE SUNDAY NEWS" TELLS
ALL ABOUT IT.
With heavy hearts, and many a
sigh, the children see vacation fly;
for well they know, on Tuesday
next with tasks in school they'll be
perplexed. They mourn the free
and happy days they spent in out
of-town ARRAYS; when by the noun
tain or the sea they have scratched
and screamed so merrily. The
ocean crabs that nabbed their toes
they felt while bathing were their
foes but now they hunger for a
nab from any hungry sca-shore crab.
They think, with over-llowing
hearts, of apples green and stolen
tarts: which in the country they
did steal from grand mothers cup
board "by the feel" The days of
scorching, blistering heat, that skin
ned their lips and swclled their feet,
they now recall with gloomy pain
to think they are not here again.
The falls from fence and apple trees,
that bumped their heads and skin
ned their knees, seem now but
flights of pure delight; alas, they
haye passed like rays of light.
On Tuesday next the public
schools will open with set of rules
well calculated to annoy and hatten
every girl and boy. With solemn
faces in their chairs the school
marms will assume fine airs and to
the youthful charges there they will
set the task with cheerful air. When
on that day the State House clock
strikes 9, its solemn tones will shock
the hundred thousand girls and
boys turn from their sweet vacation
joys, the yellow desk and rigid
chairs in which the infant heart des-
pairs will all be filled with little
Jumps of children suffering with the
dumps.
The blackboards, grim and big
and wide, the dirty schoolhouse
walls will hide, and over their sur
faces will glide small fingers learn
ing to divide. Upon the huge, un-
calmly maps, small eyes will search
for such small scraps of information
as may be demanded by geography.
The kids will learn to read and
spell; with knowledge all their
heads will swell they will leave to
ponder many tome.
While summer days have hurried

Artemus Ward, after delivering lee
ture once in New London, Conn, was
asked by the principal of young ladies
high school in the place to pay visit to
her institution next day. While walk
ing to the academy, u street runaway oc-
cured. A terrified horse went tearing
over the pavement, with what Artemus
called "the fore quarters" of wagon
Gathering at his heels. This incident
Artemus ingeniously utilized in his adj
dress. Said he
''The vehicular elopement which has
just taken place young ladies has fur
nished us with timely topic of discourse.
Young ladies' seminaries are exposed to
runaways. Once, when travelling with
my show, l came upon female institute
There were ladders, and lads too, as to
that, at every window. Manly perpen-
diculars carrying fainting horizontals to
the ground. Fire !" l shouted. None
of that, replied solemn voice from the
orchard. "There amt no fire these
are only young fellows running off with
their sweethearts." There is moral en-
tertainment for men and beasts in this
runaway. No horse, if attached to a
wagon, that is, sincerely attached to it..
will run away with it, but the more a
young man is attached, to Il young woman
the more he will run away with her,
leaving no trace, in fact none Of the har-
ness, behind. Young ladies, since l
have stood before your beautiful faces
have lost something, and if you or the
boy that sweeps out should find red
object looking like a coral breastpin that
has been stepped on, you may know it is
my poor, busted heart"
