Don't lose patience, come what will; Patience oft times ontruns skill.
A Woman's Energy.

Soon after Mrs Swisshelm had begun her work among the wounded soldiers in the civil war, she entered Washington hospital, one morning and went at once to see patient in whom she was greatly interested. and whom she had left but a short time before. He was sleeping, and she sat down at the bedside. He could not live long, and might have some further messages to send to his wife. Presently Mrs Swisshelm noticed green shade on his face. It darkened, and his breathing grew labored-then ceased. She called the nurse, and he brought 8 large man who proved to be surgeon The rest of the, story is told in her own words: By the sudden shadow on his face when he saw the cropse, l knew that he was alarmed and when he had given minute directions for the removal of the bed and it's contents, the washing of the floor and sprinkling with chloride of lime, went close to his side and said, in low voice "Doctor, is not this hos pital gangrene?" He looked down at ma, seemed to take my measure, and answered:
 II am very sorry to say, madam, that it is.''
 ''Then you want lemons"
 i've should be glad to have them"
 ''Glad to have them?"I repeated, in pro- found astonishment. "Why, you must have them!'
 He seemed surprised at my earnestness, and set about explaining.
 s'We sent to the Sanitary Commission, last week, and got half box"
 Sanitary Commission and half box of lemons! How many wounded have you?" s'Seven hundred and fifty"
 ''Seven hundred and fifty wounded Hospital gangrene, and half box of lemons!''
 sWen, that was all we could get. Gov ernment provides none; but our chaplain is from Boston. His wife has written to friends there and expects box, next week"
 ''To Boston for box of lemons!"
 I went to the head nurse, who gave me writing materials and I wrote short note to the New York Tribune:
 Hospital gangrene has broken out in Washington, and we want lemons ! lemons LEMONS LEMONS! No man or woman in health has a right to glass of lemonade till these men have all they need. Send us lemons!''
 I signed my name and mailed the note immediately and it appeared, the next morning. That day, Schuyler Colfax sent box of lemons to my lodgings, and So in a note, bidding me send to him if more were wanting; but that day lem ons began to pour into Washington, and soon, I think, into every hospital in the land.
 Gov Andrew sent 200 boxes to the sur geon general. received so many that at one time there were 20 ladies, several with ambulances,. distributing those which came to my address and, if there was any more hospital gangrene that season, neither saw nor heard of it.

 Friday, the house of George Freeborn caught fire from the chimney of the lean- to and portion of the roof was burned. By great exertion, the flames were sub- dued and the main building saved. As soon as notified, the agent of the Will liamsburgh City Insurance Co. repaired to the scene and adjusted the loss to the satisfaction of Mir Freeborn. Consider ing the isolated situation of the house, it's escape from destruction was almost incredible.

 MT Box says that the bucolic reading public is underrated. ssThe average man or woman living in this country has a pretty accurate idea of good paper, magazine or book and to pick up a bucol- ic reader as literary ignoramus means to drop him quicker than hot poker. Literary intelligence of the reader away from the book centers is not at one tenth of the low ebb that some writers and publishers think it is. 1 have seen score of men interested in writing and making books find this out to their dis advantage. The advance in railroad com munication has brought tue country very close to the city in literature, just as well as in other things

"From the present indications, ,
says the Bradford Era, "prospect
is that hemlock will be much lower
than last year. Some dealers are ol
the opinion that it will be at least q
dollar lower. Last years bark was
sold at $6 cord, the highest figure
ever reached in this section. The
cause Of the decline is attributed to
a falling off in consumption in the
eastern market. Peabody Mass,
is the largest eastern bark centre,
and the consumption last year is
said to have declined one-fourth.
which accounts for the stagnation
this year.

"Every Christian girl may and
should require total abstinence as
one of essentials to the winning of
her love.
If this were the rule, what reform
should we witness in American so
ciety,and what heavenly brightness
there would be in the sky of many a
family where now the dull clouds of
anxiety over hang, and even the
swift tornado fills with mortal ter
ror.
Oh, the pity that every generation
of young women has to learn for it.
self and often through bitter expers
fence, the fact that a man who
will not give up bad habit before
marriage for the sake of her he loves
seldom does so afterwards to please
his wife or even to save his children.
Oh, that our American girls had
alw: Us the courage to show their
uncomfortable aversion to this and
other evil habits Of young men, By
declining an intimate friendship with
those who refuse to be worthy of it
believe that W. G. Il. U. of ou,
girls with this as fundamental prin-
ciple would work more of reform
among our young men than is well
realized
And you young men strong and
brave, who glory in your strength
and feel confident that you have the
power to control the dangerous habit
who detest the weakness fthose who
yeild their wills to the seductions Of
drink, oh, young men are you strong
er and more gifted than those great
and noble souls, the Coughs, the
Wirts, the Woolleys, who in the pride
OF thier youth went down before this
insidious destroyer until their pride
was in the dust and their manhood
reduced to the leyel of the brute.
1t is true, in weary middle life they
struggle back again to decency and
final usefulness, all black and
blasted with scenes too dreadful to
remember. Are you stronger than
they to resist. if some unforeseen
temptation or discouragement adds
its unexpected influence to the so,
cial glass? Or if you fall, dare you
hope like them, TO rise again? Have
you not known many man of
stronger will and brighter intellect
than yours, who has failed? Oh.
the anguish, the despair Of that word
for those who have wrecked their
lives. Young man the danger you
are courting is like the deadly quick
sand innocent to look at, but subtle,
cruel and implacable.
If you would know the meaning
OF this struggle, read the life of any
man who, by the grace of God,
has come out of it in his right mind.
Boys were never seen in drinking
