parents; Try the experiment of hav-

at the same time, be doing your child

of Geo. Puffer on Turkey mountain

by the officer in bed with John Well

was held for the grand jury in the

The many friends of lawyer Cud-

past few weeks have eagerly sought
for all news obtainable from the sick
will be pleased to learn that
there is no longer any doubt of his
ultimate recovery. Mr., Cudworth
was avery sick man. For days he
laid upon the very brink of the great
divide where, seemingly, the smallest
matter would have placed him upon
the other side. Under these cucum-
stances it is not strange that his COM
plete recovery is matter of time and
not Of haste. For the past few days
his Improvement has been much more
positive, and yesterday, for the first
time he put on his pants, and the
writer found him sitting up and eat
ing, and in good spirits, though una
BILE to speak loud word, his throat
being partially parolized. This paral
ysis will doubtless leave him in {
short time, aud then, if no new com
plcations occur, and this is not prob
able, he will soon be out
Mrs. Cudworth, with all her deel
sorrows and terrible anXieties, like ;
true heroine, has couragously tough

her health and strength. AS she il
rather frail and with usual health no
of the best this seems wonderful, ant

her husband and many friends.

Written FOR the SITTER.
POVERTY.
by j. 4. LANDMAN,
Time and again, take my pen,
To see what can do;
And every time, in prose or rhyme,
When | have wallowed through,
l find myself still minus pelf,
And feeling pretty plue.
Has fate decreed some souls to need
And left a few the whole?
Must constant greed on plenty feed,
To mock the honest soul?
envy not the miser's lot,
Nor ask his sordid gain;
Yet, fate's poor fry for bread must cry,
And thousands cry in vain.
The world may rage DER Gould and
Sage,
And laud them to the skies;
Agape they stand, to praise the man,
Whose greed has won the prize.
Whose God is gold, may turn to mold,
The same as other mortals,
Nor can unlock, with watered stock,
The aureat heavenly portals.
Poor, honest heart, act well your part,
Nor covet others gain;
If want and debt your gizzards fret,
Why, let them fret, in vain.
Try, if you can, some other plan
But never grind the poor,
Though grinding fate, quite indurate,
Is trottlng round your door.
And still you're balkedt
Your plans are Knocked?
The wolf has come to stay!
o, for rod from man or God,
To drive the wolf away.
Is there no hope of wider scope,
No hope of change, financial;
No castles, fair, not built in air,
A little more substantial?
Poor souls, you've not
Your wishes got,
But do not blame the Lord.
Though we may doubt, and go witt
out,
Abideth still the word.
