EVA'S DEATH.
lFRoM UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

Eva, after this, declined rapidly; there
was no more any doubt of the event; the
fondest hope could not be blinded. Her
beautiful room was avowedly sick room,
and Miss Ophelia, day and night, per-
formed the duties of nurse. and never
did her friends appreciate her value
more than in that capacity. With SO
we'll trained hand and eye, such perfect
adroitness and practice in every art
which could promote neatness and COM
fort, and keep out of sight every dis
agreeable incident of sickness-with such
a perfect sense of time, such clear, I'M
troubled head, such exact accuracy In
remembering every prescription and di-
rection of the doctors-she was every
thing to st. Claire. They who had
shrugged their shoulders at the little
peculiarities and setnesses - so unlike
the careless freedom of Southern manners
acknowledged that now she was the
exact person that was wanted.
Uncle Tom was much in Eva's room.
The child suffered much from nervous
restlessness, and it was a relief to her to
be carried; and it was TOMS greatest de-
light to carry her little frail form in his
arms, resting on pillow, now up and
down her room, now out into the veranda;
and when the fresh sea breezes blew
from the Lakeland the child felt fresh.
est in the morning - he would some
times walk with her under the orange
trees in the garden, or sitting down in
some of their old seats, sing to her their
fayorite old hymns.
Her father often did the same thing;
but his frame was slighter, and when he
was weary, Eva would say to him:
"Oh, papa, let Tom take me. Poor
fellow! it pleases him; and you know it's
all he can do now, and he wants to do
somethingl"
SO do 1, Eva" said her father.
well, papa, you can do everything, and
are everything to me. You read to me-
you sit up nights; and Tom has only this
one thing and his singing; and l know,
too, he does it easier than you can. He
carries me so strong!"
The desire to do something was not
confined to Tom. Every servant in the
establishment showed the same feeling,
and in their way did what they could.
But the friend who knew most of Eva's
own imaginings and foreshadowings was
her faithful bearer, Tom. To him she
said what she would not disturb her
father by saying. To him she impaired
those mysterious intimations which the
soul feels as the cords begin to unbind
ere it leaves it's clay forever.
Tom, at last, would not sleep in his
room, but lay all night in the outer
veranda, ready to rouse at every call.
Uncle Tom, what alive have you
taken to sleeping anywhere and every
where, like a dog, for?" said Miss
Ophelia. 81 thought you was one of the
orderly sort that liked to lie in bed in a
Christian way"

teriously. Z" L do; but now"
Well, what now?"

WHY SEEDS FAIL.

Words Of Advice on the Proper Keeping
Of Seeds.
The proper keeping of seeds has
much to do with their termination.
While there are many seeds Of peren-
malls that should be sown as soon as
ripe, it is different with ANIMALS and
biennials. The carrot, parsnip and
most other garden vegetables are in an
unnatural condition. Cultivation has
caused these to produce roots many
times larger and much more succulent
that in their wild state. The seeds of
these when self-sown as soon as ripe,
produce degenerate plants, which have
reverted to the natural state, and are
no longer useful. In the experiments
of Prof. Buchanan and NJ. Vilmorin on
the Improvement of the carrot, radish,
etc., from the degenerate forms known
rs weeds, it was found that keeping
the seeds dry during the winter and
sowing them in spring was an import
ant agent in restoring these plants to
their useful condition. Rest, suspended
growth for q time, has an important in
fiuence in keeping such plants in the
artificial condition produced by Guilt
walton. The manner in which seeds
are kept during the winter has much to
do with their value at sowing time.
We should keep in mind the fact, that
seeds are not collection of fragments
Of vegetable matter, like lot Of shoe

HORSE PARALYSIS.
A Dangerous Affection Which Demands
'" Imiaedfate Treatment.

A Dangerous Affection Which Demands
"N Immediate Treatment.
Paralysis in horses almost invariably
affects the hind limbs, and is due to
disordered condition of the sciatic
nerve. The attack is generally very
sudden and occurs when the animal is
in harness, the first symptom being a
weakness in enc hind leg, which will
be thrownoatt toward the shaft or traces,
accompanied by knuckling of the fet-
lock. The first thought that usually
occurs to the driver is that the animal
must have stepped upon something
that has injured its foot. Unless the
horse is stopped and active treatment
begun at bnce the other leg will gener-
ally be affected ina short time, when if
the attack j. severe the. apimJ will fall
upon its launches and can not rise.
Upon the first appeafaiice Of faltering
and knucklings the horse should be
stopped and covered with, blankets' SO
as to keep the loin and hips warm. The
hip quarter and gaskin should then be
rubbed briskly for a short time. Call
in the assistance of some strong men,
and after removing the patient from
the shafts place a blanket, robe or
strong piece of canvass under the belly,
well back toward the hind legs, and let
one or two men take hold of it on each
side to help support the animal, which
should be led carefully to the nearest
stable. Any attempt at hurrying will
aggravate the complaint, and If the suf-
ferer falls the chances for recovery are
very much diminished. 4 Call in vet
Urinary surgeon at the earliest possible
moment In the meantime, after
reaching the stable, apply water as hot
as it can be borne to the Join, hip and
thigh. A little mustard added to the
water will increase its. stimulating
properties. As remedy give q hsll
dram of nux vomica in pint of milk
night and morning. Paralysis is some.
times mistaken for spinal meningitis.
A horse suffering from the latter COM
plant, when he is placed upon his feet
by means of sling, can support him
self, while in paralysis it is impossible
for him to bear his weight upon his legs
The fact should be borne in mind tina,
