Cure for Seasickness.

A correspondent says that the drink
ing of salt water is perfect cure for
seasickness, though it makes the drinker
very miserable for few minutes after
he takes the cure. The sailor who rec
commended it to the sufferer in question
accounted for it by saying the stomach
on board ship is in very sensitive state.
and that the salt water pickles it SO
that it gets hardened to conditions which
had previously revolted it.
If that were the explanation, it must
be very rapid and miraculous kind of
picking process that is effected by pint
of salt water, not, in all probability,
long retained, But whatever the ration
ale of the supposed sailors remedy
may be, any quick remedy for so fright
full a distress is worth trying, and the
assertion of the sailors is said to be that
it never fails.-St, James Gazette.

known to the ancient Sraniards as the
Love Apple. By the name of Love Apple
it is still known in many. English speak

THE Old Swiftly.
Long ago, when life was new,
Z 4 IL E--l J

Long ago, when life was new,
In the old, delightful days,
We would wander two and two
Where the smithy's fitting blaze,
Backed by shadows of the night,
Used to tighten up the hills,
Beckon US with fingers bright.
Twas a cure for childish ills
For the door was ever wide,
There was freedom everywhere
Near the forge and close beside
The old anvil, always there
Could be found the mighty man
With the sweat upon his brow.
Giant of all mighty clan
Long gone, not forgotten now.
All, he told US fairy lore
While he pumped his bellows grim,
For we loved the mystic store
Pent up in the smithy dim.
But the sturdy smith is dead,
And the smithy s in decay;
And the ivies climb instead
O'er the bellows torn and gray.
All! the ghosts of long ago
Only come to spell the night,
Where the smith we used to know
On the anvil used to smite
With betimes lighter stroke,
When he'd ease his toll to tell
In his way a fact or joke
Which he told, oh, me! so well.
