Life.

Life Is similar 10 a roadway--we are warn
ed at the first step we take that 10 leads %
deadly precipice which win appear az an IN
looked for moment, and which We inuEt fGN,
for the law Of this life IS ''ever onward
"That could retrace my steps, we cry
as we advance in years.
"Onwardl onwardw an invisible power
and invisible force drags US, as IL were, ever
onward; without hesitation or pause We
must onward to the fatal precipice.
Thousands Of Affections and GuxictiCa,
palms. cares and priyations fatigue and tor
ture us on tho way.
''Could avoid that falli" We cry In hor-
ror-and again that mysterious voice and
power
"Onward! onwardh one must push for
ward ia a Wandering Jew fashion, hasten
madly rashly, such is the velocity Of years
At times we come across objects which ds-
light us, which help US TO forget, flowing
waters, flowers that lose their perfume aai
fade. One would stop, u little rest--a minute,
an instant, "onwardn and ia the meantime
we see disappear behind US all that we hayo
passed Frightful crash inevitable ruinl
We console ourselves as we return home
with flowers gathered on the way--which we
see fade at nightfall- fruit, which We
lose on partaking.
Will-o'-the-wisp, with your lantern bright,
you attract us, you Iced us onward with your
dazzling light until the abyss is reached.
Already all good things begin to disappear
and blot themselves from our sight. The
vegetation grows In less abundance and rich
ness, flowers seem less brilliant and fragrant;
prairies lose their enchantment for us; the
waters run less clear, all grows dull, all fades.
The shadow of death hovers about us; one
has the presentiment Of having reached the
fatal abyss-we are on its edgc-one more
stepl Already the horror bewilders the
senses, the brain whirls, the eyes grow wild.
'Onwardi' One turns buck Alas all has
fallen, all has vanished, all dropped away

The Rattlar,s Mistake

When Justice Of the Peace Kehoe returned
from a months sojourn at Rubicon Springs
he related the following amusing incident,
which for time relieved the monotony of
life at that secluded mountain resort:
While wandering about IN the vicinity of
Rockbound lake, accompanied by boy, the
judge was struck on the leg by the fangs Of a
large rattlesnake. Tho boy witnessed the
snake strike the judges leg and ran back to
the hotel at Rubicon and gave the alarm
A rescue party was hurriedly organized by
the guests. The party, armed with at least a
barrel of whisky III TASKS, decanters and bot
ties, hastened in the direction of the spot
where the Judge had been bitten BY the ven
omous reptile The members of tho rescue
party had not proceeded far on their humane
mission when they observed the Judge ap-
proaching-his usual limp in walking seemed
greatly intensified to their alarmed imagina-
tons
A grand rush was made for the Judge aud
hundred hasks were instantly uncorked, the
odor of whisky supplanting that of fragrant
pines, frs and wila flowers each owner of a
flask being eager to have the judge first par
take of the contents, and others endeavoring
TO strip his trousers Off TO apply healing ONT
ments TO the wound
The judge finally was able to explain that
he had been struck on the leg by zattler,
and while indicating with his finger the spot
where the reptiles poisonous fangs struck,
remarked that It was his wooden lax that
had been bitten, and therefore the wound
would not prove serious Tho judge after
ward killed the snake and exhibited the emu
~ the tail "a . trophy, which is ornamented
with seven rattles. Chronicle

Seaslckness.

Mr.. Wmttingdale states that while acting
as surgeon 10 the PeninSular and Oriental
Steam Navigation company, he tried at
different times most of the remedies recon-
mended for seasicAness, such as bromide Of
sodium, cocaine, nitrate OF amy, etc. Will
very unsatisfactory results. The following
method, based on the treatment Of chloro-
form sickness, however, proved most success
ful. \ lumber Of tepid water is first admin
istered TO the patient. This, OF course. is
generally quickly returned, but soothes the
stomach. Then a warm mustard and linseed
poutiee, in the proportion of one part Of
mustard to two Of linseed, is applied to the
epigastric region, and the following draught
given a quarter of an hour after the tepid
water; Chloral hydrate. 20 grains; simple
strip, l drachm; water, TO an ounce
Ii this be rejected, our correspondent be-
gins de noyo with the tepid water and repeats
the draught. After the draught has been
taken and retained, the patient Is ordered TO
lie in his berth, and sleep usually follows.
On waking the swimming in the head and
nausea have disappeared, and he Is able 10 90
on deck. Mr.. Il. Wakefield considers that
any one who mas seen much of this malady
can hardly doubt that its origin is mental,
aud Ia a large majority of cases the imaaln-
alton Is the source OF trouble-for instance,
he has seen on several occasions ladies suffer
ing from seasickness before the ship had left
its moorings III the dock, where there is not
tho least sign Of motion Iced stimulants
anj the r9cumbeat posture are remedies
which he now employs, after careful trial
of all the 50 called specifics extending over Is
period of six years London Lancet.

The westmeath Seizure.

The San Francisco Country Merchant
concludes an article on the seizure of the
steamer Westmeath's cargo OF sugar with
the following remarks:
The unfortunate feature Of the whole
mater is that Mr.. Spreckels should have
thought it necessary, in the protection of
his own interest, to file the information
which led to the seizure. II the final re-
suit proves that the sugar was artificially
colOred or undervalued he will consider
his course justified. If on the contrary
the claim of the importers is sustained,
it may be difficult for him to convince
the public that he acted in good faith.
Every man is justified in using all hon
orable endeavor to protect himself
against unfair competition. Mr.. Spreck-
els is presumed to be an expert in the
sugar business If he has made mis-
take, he runs the risk OF having his mo-
tives questioned. Added importance is
given to the matter by reason of the high
position Of both importers and informer
and the public will therefore feel inter
ested in the result.
