A SOLDIERS RETORT.

During the summer of 1868, while
the hospitals at Canton, Miss, were
crowded with sick and wounded
soldiers, the ladies visited them daily,
carrying with them delicacies of every
kind and did all they could to cheer
and comfort the suffering. On one
occasion a pretty miss of sixteen was
distributing flowers and speaking
gentle words of encouragement to
those around her, when she overheard
a soldier exclaim: "Oh, my Lord !"
Stepping to his bedside to rebuke him
for his profanity, she remarked:
"Didn't l hear you call on the name
of the Lord =? l am one of his
daughters. Is there anything Lean
ask Him for you ?" Looking up into
her bright, sweet face, he replied: II
don't know but what there is"
"Well," said she, "what is it Rails
ing his eyes to hers and extending his
hand, he said: "Please ask Him to
make me His son-in-law ."-Detroat

HOW TO SAVE DOCTORS BILLS

Never 60 to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin a journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and imme-
diately go out into the cold.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or neal the
window of a car for a moment; it is
dangerous to health and even life.
Never omit regular bathing, for un-
less the skin is in regular condition
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other diseases.
When hoarse speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness i: recovered
from, else the voice may be perma-
nently lost or difficulties of throat be
propuced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and continue keeping the back
exposed to the heat after it has be-
come comfortably warm. To do other
wise is facilitating.
Never stand still in cold weather,
especially after having taken a slight
degree of exercise, and always avoid
standing on ice or sno where the
person is expose to the cold wind.
When going from a warm atmos-
phere into a cooler one keep the mouth
almost closed. so that the air may be
warmed by it's passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, we'll covered; also
the chest we'll protected. In sleeping
in a cold room establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the open mouth.-Ameracam

LEMON C~HEESECAKE.
Take two large lemons, and rub the
rind with one pound of loaf sugar, so that
all the yellow part is removed; place the
sugar in a basin, squeeze the juice of the
lemon over, then add the yolks of six
eggs, and beat it all well up, and put it by
in a jar for use; it will keep for years.
Any flavor such as vanilla or cinnamon,
may be added, if liked. When required
for use, having made the paste and lined
the tins, mix one tablespoonful of the
mixture with a teacup Of good milk, and
place a little in each tartlet.

THE WAY OF THE WISE.

eft is greatly to be regretted" was
remarked in the hearing of an Illinois
farmer, "that farmers boys do not
stick to the farm. It seems that
scarcely any of them do"

farmers 'cept one"
"Is that so? Only one of them
caught by the glitter of the city, eh?"

amt never seen him since, though it's
been over twenty year. But l dunno
but it's all right; he hadn't no likin'
for farm work. nor wouldn't take no
interest in it. He jes' naturally seemed
to hate the farm and didn't know
enough about farm work to drive
ducks to water"

should leave the farm, as he evidently
had no taste for it. Is he in the mer.
camille business ?"
ooh, no, nothing of the kind"

THE NURSERY AT NIGHT.

F. b. DOvETON.
The day is done, and in their cosy nest
The rosy darlings lie in perfect rest,
Their shining tresses softly straying DER
Those dimpled cheeks that we may kiss once more
Before we go but let the kiss be light.
Good night, sweet slumbers
Good night! Good night
Anon wo see q smile all gently play
Der a sweet face, then slowly die away
The little brain with fairy fancies teens,
And Flossie wanders in the land of dreams,
There she will wander till nights shadows flee.
Good night, my little one,
God guardeth thee
She sees serener sunlight, fairer flowers
And bluer skies than grace this world of ours,
AS down the silent slopes of s~hadowland
Again she guides her hoop with eager hand,
Or may a mythic butterfly pursue.
Good night, my pretty one!
Till morn, adieu.

ment until home rule had collapsed. In
other words, until Mr.. Gladstone should
die. These resolutions show the hand Of
the Unionists in a manner more open
than any previous act or declaration of
the leaders OF that party, and confirm
the already strong belief that the Union
lists are anti-GladstoEs 7rst and foremost
-anti-home rule only because the Liber-
al leader is for it.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain said that the
healing of the rupture between the I'm
ionists and the Liberals was almost inn
possible. The Gladstonians had not an
nounced their programme, because they
did not know what their unstable leader
might next propose. The action of the
Irish executive, he asserted, had been
strictly in accordance with legislation.
Mr.. Chamberlain denied that the evic-
tions had been unfair. 1t would be a
gross injustice to social order if the law
were permitted to be defied under the
menaces of the leaguers. The Unionists
would protect the minority in Ireland,
and preserve the honor and dignity of
the country.
