How fresh in my mind are the days Of my sick uess, When tossed me iu pain, all fevered aud sore; The burnlng the nausea, the sinking and weakness, And even the old spoon thst my medicine bore.

 The sick-chamber-spoon that my m edicne bor" How 10th were my fever-parched lips 10 receive t, How nauseous the stut thai 1t bore to my tongue, And the pain nwards oh ,naught could relieve it Thoug tears of disgust from my eyeballs 1t wrung
 The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
 How aw ul the stuff that 1t left on my tongue.

 About four years ago was attacked with what the physicians pronounced neuralgia rheumatism, accompanied with erysipelas. My appetite failed me entirely, and had an intermitting pulse and very irregular pulsations of the heart. A ter rible pain soon came into my chest and shoulders, and 1 became so helpless that could attend to no business at all. The pains were movable, and would sometimes pass from one part of my body to another.

In the wood walks alone, With the sad, dying year, While the winds sob and moan, And the dead leaves are thrown Dry, drifted and sere, In the wood walks alone. The old days we have known All unstained by tear; While the winds sob and moan. Dressed in seeming long gone. Hover living and near, In the wood walks alone.
  The great branches groan Like to mortals in fear, While the winds sob and moan: For the months are laid prone On their black, sodden bier, In the wood walks alone, While the winds sob and moan.
