THE LUXURY OF WOE.

Oh you who dare to mourn where all may see,
Who have the luxury of grief expressed
Pity the fate of her whose aching breast
Holds sorrow locked within eternally;
Whose eyes may never weep whose lips must be
Forever dumb, or glad with laughter. lest
By one chance sigh her secret may be guesse q;
Who grows to hear no music in the sea,
To ind no beauty in the violet,
No perfume in the rose, no message sweet
In every flower that blooms, pale and wet;
" no often dare not let her sad eyes meet
Another's, lest quick tears should leap and
flow.

Goose Grease for Membranous Group.

Old-fashioned remedies are still the
hobby with many Connecticut people,
and they often cure where modern
therapeutics fail Last week, in Bridge
port, two-year old child was stricken
with membranous Group. A physician
was hastily summoned, and he prescribed.
The child grew rapidly worse, and the
attending physician called in two of his
brethren to consult with him. The three
decided that death would soon result
unless the operation of tracheotomy was
resorted to. This the parents positively
refused to allow, and the physicians de-
parted, saying the child would die before
morning. After they had retired several
women called, and, with the usual
feminine desire to do all they could to
help the afflicted parents, asked permits
sion to try their remedies. 1t was
granted, as the parents thought it would
do no harm, as the child would die in
few hours anyway. The patient was
thoroughly wrapped up in fannels, and
his head and throat were rubbed with
goose grease. A dose of the stuff, mixed
with vinegar, was with difficulty forced
down the child's throat. In short time
he vomited up large portion of mucous
and broke up the clogging matter in the
throat. Being placed in bed he soon
went to sleep, and the next day he was
playing about the house, and appeared
to be far from dying. -Nsio York Sun.

THOSE GOOD OLD FASHIONED
FOLKS.

THOSE GOOD OLD FASHIONED
FOLKS.
Somehow the people of to-day amt as they
used to be,
At any rate Pm pretty sure they're not the
same to me.
And while they're many just as good as those
/ used to know
There're scores and scores among them that
are only so and So
We used to always take man exactly as he
said
But now it's safe to take him just the other
way instead
1t does my heart just lots of good to meet
once in while
Some of those good old-fashioned folks so
nearly out of STYLE
wouldn't say the world in honesty is slipping
back,
wouldn't say that Christians hunting grace
have lost the track,
1 wouldn't say that men to-day are less the
friends of truth,
Because they seem to differ from the ones |
knew in youth
Those statements refuse to make, but this
freely say,
Those people please me quite as well as those
| meet to-day.
Their hearts and hands were honest and their
lives held little guile,
Did those old-fashioned people now so nearly
out of style.
We're wiser than they used to be, we m be
weaker, too,
And good old homespun honesty may less our
hearts Undue.
These later days we all are bent on getting
rich SO fast,
We haven't time to think of things they
thought of in the past
We're wildly striving after gold, we rush and
push and crowd
And after while we'll each be wanting peck
cts in his shroud
But none of us can e'er outrank within the
afterwhile
Those good old-fashioned people now so
nearly out of style.

A writer for the Boston Post learned
recently of new and very novel method
of making living. A prominent laun-
dryrnan took him into his confidence.
"These bundles" said he, (which
that young man took off with him were
what would be called leftover laundry,
That is, they have lam upon our shelves
for several months since they were washed
and have never been called for"
edo you have many such bundles2"
"Well, yes, we do. That young man
who Just went out calls here once
month, and he gets just about as many
bundles every time. You see there are
great many forgetful people in this
world, and many of them will take
bundle of clothes to some laundry Office,
and then, before it comes time to take
them out, will have forgotten where they
left them, and so the stuff is left on the
agents hands. Then again, many of the
bundles are left by drummers and other
travellers, who are called away from town
before their clothes are washed, and
either do not come back at all or have
forgotten the place when they do come.
"Then there is still another class:
Young men who have money one day and
are broke the next. These fellows will
often leave large bundles, and then will
not have money enough to spare to get
them out for some time, and when tooy
do get them the laundry has been in the
Office so long that they feel ashamed to
call for it. From these and some other
causes we have many bundles which
would never be called for if they laid on
our shelves for years. Until within few
months all of these bundles have been a
dead loss to us, as we are obliged to pay
the laundryman for washing the clothes,
and then get nothing for them.
GAS they are all second hand clothes,
we could not sell them until this young
man came along, and he takes all we have
off our hands. What does he do with
them7 Why, he sells them, of course.
He makes a business of it, and goes all
over the city and suburbs collecting this
unealled-for laundry. OF course, he has
to buy it blind, as he is not allowed to
examine the bundles before purchasing
them, aud so ne gets all sorts of things
in all sorts of conditions; but as, for in
stance, he only has to pay ten cents for a
shirt, and often gets one which is nearly
new and costs perhaps 50, he can afford
to get stuck on few of the things.
"He has made it his business to get ac-
quainted with poor young men and
women, to whom he sells articles for
about a quarter of what they would cost
in the stores, and still manage TO clear
from 800 to 500 per cent. on his sales.
Not bad profit, if the sales are big
enough, is it, And the business is an
easy and clean one to handle"
