THE LAND OF NEVERWAS.
rs. w. FosS in Yankee Blade. |

Where are all those shifting valleys which
we used to sing and rhyme,
Purple with the clustered fruitage of the
harvest's fields of time?
Where are all those young ambitions,
framed in rainbows, aureoled
With halo mist of glory woven from the
sunsets gold?
Gone before their realiza ton, like effects
without a cause.
Vanished in the misty limbo of the Land
of NcvcrwaS!
Where are all those toprling castles, tur-
ret tipped with mOOnlit glowS,
Gay with Youths and laughing maidcns,
thro' their echoing porticoes?
Where are those aerial brownstones with
their gar9OyleS of red midst,
Touched with >ardonyn and topaz and with
gold and amethyst?
They have tioated on the summer clouds
that never wait nor pause,
Down below the dim horizon of the Land
of NeverwaS
Where are all those goldon galleons float
ing Oh the tidelesS seas,
With their Sendal sails distended, bound
for the lieSperides,
Sailing thro' the dancing dolphins, thro'
the archipelagOe>,
Where each waited breeze is heavy with
the cinnamon and rose?
Ah, their hulks have turned to shadows
and their sails have turned to gauze,
And, like dream ships, they have vanished
in the land of NevcrwaS
lis the purple land OF rainbows on an
island far away,
None but little folks and babies meath it's
fronaed branches stray;
Never does bird of passage land upon its
towering cliff,
But sometimes Il daring poet sees it from
his dream blown Skiff.
But when he trie, to sing OF it men neither
heed nor pause, -
For most men are diSbelieverS in the Land
of NevcrWaS!

zest a little story of his adventures
with the dignified and important clerk
CT the State Department. On his way

addressed stopped short, gazed at the

head OF the department and whose
fame is as broad as the two hemis-

was mixed with wounded pride. re-

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
HOW to Restore It According to the NJ
Pr0misjD1 Nethod

How to Restore It According to the Nj ost
Promising Method.
When the bodies of persons appar-
entity drowned are taken out of the
water. those who are near, and wish
to restore animation. are frequently at
a loss how to proceed. Some igno-
rant people think that the body should
be held up by the feet, in order to al
low the water to run out at the mouth.
This should never be done. The best
way to proceed is to lay the BODY
down, rub it with warm cloths, and
breathe into the nose or mouth, so as
to expel the water and set the lungs
working in a natural manner. Tho
following incident will furnish our
readers with bit of practical knowl-
edge which may be of great value to
them some time.
While some boys were bathing in q
river where the water deepens upwards
of fifty feet in the space of few yards,
one of them. in attempting to swim,
got into deep water inadvertently, and
went down. His companions immedi-
ately ran off to give the alarm, but a
considerable time elapsed before the
body was got out, when it appeared
that the ''vital spark" had fled, the
body having been some minutes in tho
water.
Without losing one moment. the
body was placed on its back. by some
gentlemen, on a sloping bank, tho
head being nearly eighteen inches high
or than the feet, and, in this position,
one of the gentlemen instantly put
one hand on the boys mouth, having
the other on the abdomen, and apply
ing his mouth to the nose. commenced
blowing with all his might. allowing
the water to escape between every
blast, which came in great quantities
from both mouth and nose, being forced
out by the injected air. and slight
pressure on the abdomen with the 9TH
err hand. The operation being repeat
ed for ten or fifteen minutes. with con-
tinual rubbing of the legs. arms abdo-
men, and chest, a draught of air APP
peared to be inhaled, and. in a little
while, respiration slowly and feeby
commenced. Warm water and flannels
were now got. and applied to the feet
and body, which appeared to cause ex-
circulating pain, the muscles of the
face becoming much distorted, fol-
lowed by the vomiting of water in con-
siderable quantities. writhing and cry

half elapsed before the boy became
sensible, and recovered the use of his
eyes, which were fixed during the
process of resuscitation.-N.Y Y. Ledger.

How to Reduce 1t by Regular Exercise
and q Correct Diet.
The woman who is plump at eight
cen. whose dimples are charming, and
who delights in her rounded arms and
the neck in which the bones do not
show, suddenly discovers. when she
gets near thirty. that she is inclined to
be what is politely known as .fleshy."
The flesh has got soft and flabby, and
she stands in front of her mirror and
gazes at her arms and neck with hor-
ror First of all, she might as well
make up her mind that she is not go-
ing to try killing herself by taking any
quack medicine with guarantees to
make her look like Sarah Bernhardt.
Instead. she will arrange her diet to
suit the state OF affairs, but that does
not mean that she must starve herself.
As certain as she attempts to live on a
glass of milk and bunch Of grapes,
just SO certainly will her flesh disap-
pear, and left in its place will be
wrinkles, and she will look ten years
older. even If she is ten pounds less in
weight. Now, to lose some OF the
extra flesh you want first of all to exer-

His candidacy is ridiculed because he

the country as the organizer of the

parent elements of weakness are in
reality elements of strength in a man
who aspires to leadership in his

therefore, that the Harrison Admins

suits of his Administration will be to
leave his party at the absolute mercy

THE SOUTH'S DEMOCRACY.
Harrison's Insulting Scheme for Debauch
ing Public Opinion.

HarrIson's Insulting Scheme for Debauch
ing Public Opinion.
The President's anxious desire is, i
appears, to build up white Repub
lican party in the South. He under
stands that any party depending al
most exclusively on the negroes fol
support can never succeed in that sec
ton. In this conclusion he is I'm.
doubtedly right. About three-fifths Of
the Southern people are white, and
the white man at the North who be.
lieves large white majority on the
other side of ''Mason and Dixon s
line" can be permanently subjected to
negro minority is a hopeless idiot.
But Mr.. Harrison is not we'll in.
formed if he supposes that the Demo
cratic majority in the Southern States
may be broken up by the dispensation
OF patronage. That method was as
slduously tried throughout the ad.
ministrations of Grant, Hayes and
Garfield and Arthur. There are sordid
wretches, no doubt, in Southern as
well as Northern communities, who
will sell their opinions for a mess OF
pottage or a petty Office, but the sale
can not be concealed, and the merce-
naries take no following with them.
The truth is that while the division
of parties at the North is now almost
wholly on the tariff line, the Republican
ism of the South represents spoliation
by protection and negro domination.
It is impossible that either of these
can command extended support among
the intelligent and self-respecting
farmers of the great Southern agri-
cultural States. just as it is impossible
that shrewd Northern farmers can APP
prove tariff system that substantially
doubles the price of every manufact-
ured article they consume.
The Presidents scheme for debauch-
ing public opinion at the South with
paltry official brides is an insult to the
Intelligence of the people. When he
has something better than tariff
rapacity, monopolistic greed and
negro domination to offer as a party
programme he may be able to win re-
cruits. Until then he can not reason
ably expect that the success achieved
last year by stupendous corruption
will be repeated. The great Demo-
cratic State of New York will not
again be sold to the tariffites by a
