Those Chestnut Bells, Those Chestnut Bells,
When srnile joke the dudelei tells.
RIM forth with di-concer,ng sound
And all his little feelings wound.
Those Chestnut Bells, Those Chestnut Bells,
Whose metal sound discordant wells.
When the old veteran doth begin
OF army pleasanlries to chiE.
Those Chestnut Bells. Those Chestnut Bells, ,
With notes as clear ~ fairies shells
The ancient mariner fOrewarns
When he relateth rancid yarns.
Those Chestnut Bells. Those Chestnut Bells,
Strike with the force of funeral knells
When as his own with sapient look
The statesman quotes some oldcn book.
Those Chestnut Bells! Those Chestnut Bells!
Anger and tantalize, by spells,
The would-be wit, with senses few.
Who hOary pun emits Us new.
Those Chestnut Bells. Those Chestnut Bells! !
Whose clang, alone, the idiot quells,
With blatant tongue and timber Jaw
And brings the nuisance back to taw.
Oh Chestnut Bells, Oh Chestnut Bells!
My heart 10 thee responsive swels;
Except when doth obtain thy rule
Some silly boy or full-grown fool.
Then strike the bell, and sound the gong
When wit is cold in tale or song:
And let derision's ficrcest yells
Accompany Those CHESTNUT BELLS.

OF the hundreds of residents Of

a few who frequently meet a tall,
slender lady, with raven brown
eyes and hair, and with a singular
attractiveness in her face, know
that she is Mrs. Rose lIartwick

PAsTEyR AED mad DOGS.

DR.. Alban S. Payne can justly claim pri'
! ority over NJ. Pasteur in tho treatment OF
! diseases by incubation. 1t has been his
custom for years to vaccinate smallpox
! patients after the initial fever sets in. The
ENGRAVING Of the vaccine matter upon the
primary various fever, hs claims, destroys
entirely its ability Of reproduction or propa-
CATION. Here is az extract from Il lecture
published in the spring Of 1878:
"Let US suppose house, located in the
middle of q large prairie, and We see the
grass burning at distance, but the flames
bending straight in the direction Of The
house. Would it not he the most sensible
thing we could do to fight fire with fire, aud,
starting q counter fire, burn the grass
around the house, SO that when the up-
proaching flames reached the grass burnt
over, the fire would have to stop for the
want of combustble material, and save the
house? This is just what propose to DO in
| treating smallpox. I would recommend
isolation, aud giving the smallpox TO all
near by and likely 10 be exposed TO its dire.
ful in Influences. Visit the parties twice "a day,
and as soon as the fever OF Inception is re
co9nized, vaccnale them, and the disease
must stop for the want Of material to feed
upon"
Shortly after me publication Of the lecture
or paper from which we quote DR.. Willard
Parker, of New York, wrote TO DR.. Payne
as follows:
you have established some important
facts. Without waiting for the fever, have
vaccinated those found in the same room
and on the same bed with smallpox patti
