THE DESERTED CITY,,

hundred palaces lie ruined there;
Her lofty towers are fallen. and creepeFs
Ore marble dome and shattered portioo.
Once, with their tinkling zones and painted
feet,
Gay bands Of women thronsed the royal
Now thro1sh the night the hungry jackal
And seeks his scanty prey with angry howls.
Once there was music in the plashing wave
Of lakes, where maidens loved their limbs to
But now these waters echo with the blows
struck by the horns Of savage bu6aloes.
Once the tame peacock showed his glittering
Mid waving branches, where he loved to
The ruthless flame had laid those branches
And narred his feathers and their golden
The drum is silent that he loved to hear.
And gone the mistress whom he held SO dear.
Once on the marble floor girls loved to place
The painted foot and leave its charming
Now the fell tigress stains. with dripping

floor.
In those dear days. with tints of nature
in marble statues lived fair woman's form;
Alas! those tints are faded now, and dim,
And gathering dust obscures each rounded
limb.
While the cast skins of serpente form a vest
That hides the beauties of each statues
breast.
How sweet the mooubeams used. of old, to
fall
With silyering light ON terrace, roof and
wall!
But now, neglected, there the grass grows
wild,
Tie roofs are shattered, and with dust de-
filed.
Pure shine those rays and silvery. as of yore,
But find their light reflected there no more.
Once in the garden lovely girls at play,
Chilled the bright flowers, and gently touched

But now wild creatures, in their savage joy,
Tread down the blossoms, and the plants de-
stroy.
Bv night no torches in the windows CLEAN;
Br day no women in their beauty beam;
The smoke has ceased; the spider there has
spread
His suares in fety. and all else is dead.

General Diven, as he states in the
Husbananndn. went to a good deal of
expense to provide appliances for steam
ing food for cattle and swine. He
made chest of large capacity to re-
ceive the cut food. and into this steam
was conducted to cook fodder and grain,
whatever was introduced. For swine
feeding he made similar preparations.
His cattle were fed cooked feed through
two winters, and he continued longer to
cook for swine. While he made no
scientific test, his conclusion, reached
through general observation. was that
the whole labor of cutting fodder and
cooking was lost, so far as the cattle
were concerned. He is yet in doube
about the advantage Of cooking food
for swine.

Boys Composition On the Benefits 70 BE-
Derived from Jobs Comforts.
A boil is generally very small at first
and a fellow hardly notices it, but in
few days it gets to be the biggest of the
two, and the chap that has it is Of very
little account in comparison with his
boil, which then .'has him." Boils ap-
pear mysteriously upon various portions
of the human body, coming when and
where ''they darn please and often in
very inconvenient places.
If boil comes anywhere on per-
son, that person always wishes it had
come somewhere else, although Il
would puzzle him to say just where.
If chap has boil he generally gets
. good deal of sympathy from others,
''in horn" 1t is very wicked to make
sport of person with oils; they can't
help it, and they often feel very bad
about it.
Boils are said to be ''healthy," and
judging from the way they take hold
and hang on and ache and grow and

no doubt about it. They are generally
very lively and playful at night.
Boils tend to purify the blood,
strengthen the system, calm the nerves,
restrain profanity, tranquilize the
spirit, improve the temper and beautify
the appearance.
1t is said that boils save the patient a
fit of sickness, but If the sickness ia
best not to have the ALFRED mean
thing it must be. 1t is also said that
person is better after he has had them,
and there is no doubt that one feels
much better after having got rid Of
them.
Many distinguished persons have en-
joyed these harbingers of health. Job
took the premium at the county fair for
having more achers under cultivation
than any other farmer. Shakespeare had
them and said: "One woe doth tread
upon another's heels, so fast they fol-
low"
Treatment: There are great many
remedies for boils. most Of which are
well worth trying, because if they don't
do any good they don't hurt the boil.
Everybody knows "a good thing for
them" Among these remedies are
shoemakers' wax, trix, Spalding's glue.
soothing syrup, Charlotte russo, sedleitz
powders, gum-drops, waterproof black

SCHOOL PUNISHMENT.
A Denunciation of the Administration ot
Cayenne Pepper to Pupils.

A Denunciation of the Administration ot
Cayenne Pepper to Pupils.
Whatever form school punishments
may take, it never should be the admin
istration of Cayenne pepper to the soft,
delicate and sensitive lining of the
mouth and throat of child. That is
not punishment; it is torture. 1t may
be attended with consequences which,
if not fatal to the child, may seriously
affect its health for years. Such an &C
ton degrades the teacher in the
eyes of all right-thinking persons, OF
rather it demonstrates the teacher &
unfitness to be placed in charge
of children. Such a teacher should be
removed. If it was thought internal
cruelty in some despots that they ap.
piled burning matches to the fingers OF
refractory criminals to compel confes-
sion, what is it to force Cayenne pepper
into child's mouth? Psrents are sen.
tive as to the punishment of their chill
dren by school teachers. 1t is natural
that they should be. That they are in.
dignant when the punishment is cruel
and unnatural is to their credit. In
view of this, it is strange to find the
following in . contemporary:
1--WE are altogether too sensitive in
matters of this Kind, and those who oh
ject to having their children punished at
the public schools are frequently men
who. IN their own school days, used to
endure severe floggings without think

against the teachers actions. This ex-
aggerated notion about the evils of pun
ishment, when punishment is deserved.
has only to be persisted IN to produce q
generation wholly wanting in the cour.
age, strength and determination of pre-
ceding generations"
The world is more humane than it
once was. Men who remember with
horror the punishments inflicted on them
in their school days are anxious that the
school system should not return to the
methods in vogue when it was
accepted as maxim that BOYS
must be logged, and that as flogging
was q good thing there could not be
too much of it. The schoolmasters are
more humane than our contemporary.
The modern schoolmaster uses the rod
as little as possible. We are sorry to
say that women in schools often resort
to cruel and excessive punisbments
more readily than men. The teachers
placed over our children frequently
have occasion TO be severe; but there Is
no reason why they should be cruel

It can bring with It nothing.
But He will bear us throughs
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will cl0the his people too;
Beneath the spreading heavenl
No creature but Is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
Though vine nor fig tree either
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither
Nor fiocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while In Him confidiny

ognomy in the court of Louis XIV, or the
modern fashion plates are tame as COM
pared with the superhuman splendors Of
that woman's face. Joan Of Arc, Marie
Antoinette and La Belle Hamilton, the on.
chantment of the court Of Charles H., are
nowhere.
There is another time when the plainest
wife is queen Of beauty to her husband.
She has done the work Of life. She has
reared her children for God and Heaven,
and though some of them may be little
wild they will yet come back, for God has
promised. She is dying and her husband
stands by. They think over all the years
of their companionship, the weddings and
the burials, the ups and the downs, the
successes and the failures. They talk over
the goodness Of God and his faithfulness
to children's children. She has no fear
about going. The Lord has sustained her
SO many years she would not dare to dis
trust Him now. The lips of both Of them
tremble as they say goodbye, and encour-
age each other about an early meeting in q
better world. The breath il feebler and
feebler, aid stops. Are you sure Of it:
Just hold the mirror at the mouth, and see
if there is any vapor gathering on the sur
face. Gone! As one Of the neighbors
takes the old man by the arm gently and
says: "Come, you had better go into the
next room and rest;" he says: "Wait a
moment; must take one more look at that
face and at those hands!" Beautiful!
Beautiful!
My friends, 1 hope you do not call that
death. That is an autumnal sunset. That
is a crystalline river pouring into crystal
sea. That is the solo of human life over
powered by the hallelujah chorus. That is
q queens coronation. That is heaven.
That is the way my father stood at eighty
two, seeing my mother depart at seventy
nine. Perhaps 90 your father and mctas
went. I wonder IL We win die a. wen.

II Solomon had been as prayerful at
the beginning of his life as he was at
the close, how much domestic infelicity he
would have avoided. But prayer about

soul is disturbed by a magnetic and ex-
quisite presence, and then you win an

mistake your own infatuation for the

If you have this prayful spirit you will

Wyllis was finding the situation un-

he must look like one. And this in the

But here Clara swept down upon him
