THE BELLS OF LIBERTY.

Ring out, o bells OF liberty
Ring out with Joy and mirth.
And send the rapture OF your chimes
Around the listening earth;
Ring loud and clear that all may heor-
Tho fettered and the free
The voice that stirred our fathers souls.
The voice OF liberty.
Ring out, o bells ring once again,
A purer, holier chime,
And send tho echoes OF your strain
Far up the hills OF Time,
Ring, ring with clear, prophetic voice
The bliss that yet shall be-
Say to the earth, "Rejoice, rejoicol
For love is libertyw
Ring, tuneful bells, ring sweet nni clear
A hymn OF prayer and praise
That God will guide us year by year
Through His appointed ways.
Ring, ring harmonious to His will
For only those are free
Who In tho love OF God fulnll
His law of liberty.

The Dangerous Nutmeg.

Cases are not infrequently reported
in which children, and sometimes
grown persons, are poisoned by the
free use of nutmegs it not being gen.
orally known that this article of COM
mon household use is really deadly
poison. This is true, in fact, of most
common condiments. But when mis-.
used, these articles, such as pepper,
capsicum, ETC., are so obnoxious to tho
taste, excepting when taken In very
minute quantities, that the consumer
is warned in a very positive manner
before he has had an opportunity to
do himself serious injury. This is not
the case, however, with the nutmeg.
This nut, which contains poisonous
principle Of q very deadly character,
may be consumed without incon.
venience in quantities sufficient to
produce fatal consequences; and IL is
surprising not that death occasionally
occurs from its use, but that deaths
are not more frequent A fatal case
has been recently reported in which o
boy of eight years fell into q comatose
condition after eating two nutmegs
and died within twelve hours. ALBANY
