RISKS OF STOPPING FORWARD

RISKS OF STOPPING FORWARD.
Every one knows that STOPPING for
ward, particularly after rising quickly
from bed in the morning, when the stom-
ach is empty and the heart has less than
ordinary support from the viscera below
the diaphragm, liz very apt to occasion a
form OF faintness with vertigo not unlike
that which occurs in seasickness. The
peculiar form, or, more accurately, the
several forms--of headache distinctly
caused in this way when the head is long
leaned forward on the chest, bending the
neck on itself cannot fail to occur to
every one, nor will the high tension of the
eyeball. the turgid and heavy eyelids, the
snuffling nose, the deafness with buzzing
breathing, and the pulled and perhaps
flushed or darkened color of the face, re-
sulting from the obstructed venous circu-
lation through the Bonded neck be forgot
ted. There are other and more perilous
though secondary effects of bending for
ward when the heart is weak, or the
blood vessels are not 80 strong as they
ought to be, which ought not to be over
looked.
The weakly, and those who are not un-
likely to have hearts easily overburdened,
and blood vessels easily stretched be-
yond recovery or even ruptured, should
be warned quite as earnestly against sud-
denly assuming or too long retaining
pastures which do however slightly or
partially - impede the return of the
blood through the veins. Probably few
pastures commonly taken up by the per-
sons who lead somewhat sedentary lives
are SO prone to do mischief unnoticed as
that of cleaning forward" as at work at
table which is not sufficiently high to
insure the head being raised that the
veins Of the neck may not be in any way
compressed, or the return of blood from
the head embarrassed or delayed. We see
reason to believe that if this apparently
small matter were more generally under
stood there would be fewer head and
heart troubles, and we will go SO far as
to say that some lives now lost would be
saved.-London Lancet.

AN APRIL SHOWER,

AN APRIL SHOWER,
The warm, sweet rain is falling
From Aprils changeful skies;
The green leaves on the willows
Laugh out their glad surprise.
The violet wakes from dreaming
Beneath the dead years leaves,
Each blossom adds its brightness
To webs that spring-tlme weaves.
The robin in the maple
Sings titfully and low.
ASH he'd half forgotten
The songs he used to know;
His little heart is happy
AS from his burn ished wing,
In pauses of his singing,
He shakes the rain of spring.
The buds on oak and elm tree
Seem growing as we look;
Spring legends are repeated
BY the babbling little brook.
The air is full of sweetness
The skies are brighter blue,
The rain that falls in April
Makes all the old world new.

THE TUNE THE COW DIED OF"


How many have used this expression
without any definite idea of its meaning
or origin, says the Christian-at- Work. II
seems to have come to us from over the
sea. In Scotland and the north of Ire
land the saying is very common in the
mouths of the peasantry. 1t arose out Of
an old song:
"There was an old man and he had an old cow
And he had nothing to give her;
So he took out his fiddle and played her a
tune:
Consider, good COW, consider;
This is no time of year fer the grass to grow;
Consider, good COW. consider"
The old COW died OF hunger, and when
any grotesquely melancholy song or
tune is uttered the North country people
say "That is the tune the old COW died
Of"

THE NIGHT MIST.

All the night long the gray. embracing mist
Has held in tender arms the tired world;
The sleepy river its soft lips have kissed.
And over hills and meadows it has curled.
Its white. cool finger it has gently placed
On weary stretches of deep, drifting sand;
The noisy city and the far. off waste
Have felt the ,benediction of its hand.
The drowsy world rolls on toward the day;
The fresh, sweet wind of morning softly
blows;
The willing mist no longer now may stay;
With first expectancy of dawn 1t goes!

THE QUESTION.

Still on the lips of all we question
The finger of Gods silence lies.
Shall the lost hands in ours be folded?
Will the shut eyelids ever riser
o friends no proof beyond this yearning,
This outreach of our souls. we need;
God win not mock the hope he giveth;
No love he prompts shall vainly plead.
Then let us stretch our hands in darkness,
And call our loved ones Ger and Ger;
Some time their arms shall close about us
And the old voices speak once more.
j ohm G.. Whittier,
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-04-07

Were a star quenched on high,
For ages would its light,
Still travelling downward from the sky,
Shine on our mortal sight. i
So when good man dies,
For years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him lies

People who have been at loss to account
for the ability Of a comparatively mex
perienced boy, without means or many

months, with the skill Of a practical
crook, who has ample money and
friends at command, may be assured
that w. r. Tascott had no
such ability and has done nothing of the
kind. The least sdroit of three or four,
who participated In the crime he WAS
quickly apprehended, and promptly Sc
questrated for the good of the cause, 1t
being shouted from the house tops
mean while, that he was the man,
and the only man wanted. This
was the clever. though some
what hackneyed scheme, put into
operation by Captain Ronfield and Mr..
Stone, for the purpose Of relieving the
accomplices Of anxiety on their own 40
count. "Young Tasoott was no good on
earth" said A. j. Stone, land deserves
to be punished on general principles,
but he did not fire the shots that
killed old man Smell. He had not nerve
enough to attempt burglary like that
perpetrated on SHELLS house the night of
