A MISTAKE.

little cloud one summer day,
While roaming o Ter the sky so blue,
Began to Scowl and pout and say
Oh, dear what is there can do3'
Now just below it, midst the corn,
An old man stood, with hoe in hand,
In tattered clothing all forlorn--
He seemed at work upon the land
'ua hal" the cloudlet laughed, and said
Now, here's chance to have some fun
I'll rain upon your hoary head,
Ny ancient friend, and make you run"
But though the cloud roined hard and fast
The farmer wouldn't bulge bit,
Till in pet the cloud at last
Cried out, II never saw such gritp
Because the farmer wouldn't scare
1t sulked and frowned the livelong day.
How could it know the figure there

"In the SICK Room.n

THE above is the title of a little book of
over hundred pages just gotten out by Clark
W Bryan & Co., Springfield, Mass, that is
complete in every respect. The author of the
book is Elizabeth Robinson Scovil, who is
graduate of the Boston training school for
nurses, lady capable in every way OF treating
the subject-"Art of Nursing" Florence
Nightingale said nursing was an art; she sal
most called it the finest Of the fine arts" and
yet it is an art very little understood, and very
few have the knowledge to practice it. Mrs.
Scovil has prepared with care, the book before
me so that the most ignorant could feel at ease
with it at hand. Indeed, it is the most
valuable little book we have seen for long
time. 1t treats Of the sick room, its conven-
fences, care OF hair, mouth, eyes, ETC., eaths,
changing of the patients clothes, and how to
do it; managing helpless patients, observation
of symptoms, medicines, poultices, plasters,
ETC.; feeding the sick, preparation of food, dis
infection and fumigation, and many other sub
jects. 1t is full of useful Information and
would be q valuable addition to every house.
hold. The chapter on preparation of food for
the sick is alone worth the price of the book,
which is fifty cents, and yet every chapter con-
tains valuable information. We heartily rec
commend it, and pronounce it the best book
yet received from Clark w Bryan & Co.

October 10th is the only one to be held in the
southern states this year. There never has
been finer opportunity offered to our ladies to
show what they can accomplish in their line of
work, than the coming exposition will afford.
The woman's department of domestic needle
work and art is under the special direction of
the Woman's exchange, of Augusta, which is
under the management of some of the first
ladies of the city. The entries are all free,
and competition is open to amateurs only.
After the exposition all articles will be sold by
the exchange Gf the exhibitor so desires) on
commission Of ten per cent. The premium
list is full, and covers woman's work of every
description. Premiums are offered on art
needle work, plain needle work, crochet and
knitting, household ornamental work, drawing
and painting, China painting, etc. premiums
on flowers, floral designs, etc. Then comes
preserves, iellies, canned and dried fruits,
wines and vinegar, and various other things
too numerous to mention. We wish we had
room to publish the entire premium list, but
that is impossible; we would only urge our
women TO begin at once and let all send some
thing TO help on the good work, and show
what our southern women can do. Though all
who enter may not receive prize, yet they
will have tue satisfaction of knowing they
have added their mite to an enterprise that
must result in good to our state, and hence
each one be benefited. Having been on the
committee for ladies work at the Atlanta ex-
position, know what our southern women are
capable OF doing, and trust they will make
extra efforts this fall to make the woman's de-
partment of tho Augusta exposition q success.

ANTONY TO CLEOPATRA.
81 am dying, Egypt, dying"

SHAKESPEARE
lam dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, o queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear
Hearken to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my scared and veteran legions
Bear their eaglts high no more,
And my wrecked and shattered galleys
strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
Imust perish like R )man-
Die the great Tridmvir still.
Let not Cesar's servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foenan's hand that slew him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his slar fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses.
Madly flung o world awayl
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, O2tavia,
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her-say the gods have told me,
Affairs, au5urs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine comningled
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious sorceress of the nile,
Light the path TO Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine;
I can scorn the Senates triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
l am dying, Egypt, dying;
Hark insulting foemans cry;
They are coming-quick my falchioni
Let me front them ere die.
All no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting swell;
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
CLEOPATRA Rome FAREWELL

LONDON, Dec. 25.-Every little while
some benighted Tory, with supply of ig-
norance equal to Mr.. Gladstone's marvel
Gus stock of information, imagines he has
said something which has had the effect of
entirely squelching the grand old man.
This happened day or two ago. at very
important Primrose league meeting, where
the principal speaker declared Gladstone
knew nothing of foreign policy, and won
applause by declaring that. as matter OF
fact, foreign policy was Greek to the grand
old man. The innocent Tory and his hear
ers never suspected the high compliment
they were paying their enemy until they
were told SO. Greek. as everyone should
know. is Gladstone's strong point. He is
able to recite straight OFF any page of

him, and is, in fact, preparing a paper on
the knowledge OF animals displayed in the
writings of the grand old Greek poet.

BURNED AT SEA.
The Steamship Left Ericsson Destroyed off
the Pacific Coast.

SEATTLE, w. T., Dec 25.-The steamer
Lief Ericsson was burned to the waters
edge at five o'clock yesterday evening off
Alaska Point. Five lives were lost. per-
haps seyen. The Ericsson was a propeller,
2,400 tons burden, and was ep route to
Maiden when the accident occurred. The
fire broke out in the hold. One theory is
that demijohn in the pilot house vas
broken and that the whisky ran through
and was ignited- There were fifty people
on board. The fire spread instantly through
the entire cabin. The boat was about
two miles from the shore. Capt. John II.
Nibble the owner OF the boat, was in COM
mand. He left the wheel house for the
purpose of launching life raft but found
the passengers trying to put the raft over
board. Ia the struggle TO rescue the raft
from the passengers, Captain Nibble fell
overheard with the raft. In the meantime.
the passengers were putting on life pre-
servers and Selling firewood or anything
else that would float and jumping over
board Capt. Nibble saw his niece, Miss
Anna Tallmer, struggling in the water
about $50 feet from him, and he did his
utmost to push the raft toward her but
she drowned in less than ten feet
with gum boots and almost helpless. The
steamer Skagit Chief, en- route to Tacoma,
saw the fire, and the vessel crowded on
steam to give assistance. She rescued
seven people The steamer Mountaineer,
four miles away, saw the burning vessel,
and headed straight for her When within
half a mile of the Ericsson they found
people struggling in the water, lowered
small boats and succeeded in saving nine
teen persons One man was taken from
the water and died in few minutes after.
His name is not known. He said
Just before he died that his wife was lost
from the steamer.
The list of those lost is as follows: Miss
Anna Tollner, Sidney: J. H. Norris. of the
firm of Norris Brickyard company, Sidney
Jack Simmons, Halifax, fisherman; I.
Smith, of Smith, Taylor & CO., Colley,
and a man and his wife whose names
could not be aScertained. The survivors
also report another woman as being lost
The steamer was burned to the waters
edge and has no doubt sunk Neither the
Skagit Chief nor the Mountaineer went to
the burning steamer as all hands deserted
her and she was enveloped in flames. Both
made efforts TO save life from the water
The Ericsson was valued at $50, 600 and was
not insured.

FIRE AT CINCINNATI.
a 100000 Blaze-1hree Acres Of Build
ings Destroyed

CINCINNATI. O.. Dec. 25.-There was a
great fire in Cincinnati today. 1t began at
$50 this morning and burned factories and
dwellings covering three acres of ground
corner Budd and Harriet streets. The FIRE
started in the rope walks of Chas. c.
Jacobs Cordage company, and spread
rapidly in buildings, in which tar and
other material fed the flames and it has
extended to the large stable, works and
platform of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton railroad, whose tracks was along
side the rope walk for over 800 feet. Soon
eight buss and four fiat cars on the rail-
road were burning and the fire had
extended over great area. Though
the weather was calm the intense heat
from the wooden buildings sent the flames
bounding into the lumber yard of the
Belts Street Furniture company, where
SIC, 600 worth of furniture was burned to
ashes. BY this time the heattwas almost
unbearable. Soon the factory OF The Cen
with its contents, $4,000, was
blaze and doomed to destruc-
ton, and the Queen Irvine company's
factory worth with its contents, SS0,G0O
was in minute later in the merciless en-
brace of the flames From these the
fire spread to adjacent dwellings. Two
brick dwellings on Budd street, the prop
were destroyed. A three-story brick on
Budd street belonging TO Harry
Mayberry, worth 5000. was
burned to the ground. Two frame
dwellings on Budd street were also
burned. The loss of the rope walks, a
long wooden building, was about $1,000;
that of the G. H. & D. railway, including
its eighteen cars, all of which were burned,
with their contents, is about $50, 900. In
addition to the houses DESTROYED there
were a score or more of dwellings in
the neighborhood more or less scorched.
a large part of the fire department is kept
busy extinguishing and re-extinguishing
fires in dwellings. In fact, the depart
ment had it's hands full to keep the fire
from becominga spreading confagration,
and in this calmness was a great help.
The total loss, estimated, is rather over
than under S500,000. The property was all
fairly we'll insured Three fremen We're
knocked out of service by injuries, but
none Of them are seriously hurt.
