The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanc1 he stands;
And the little Toy soldier Is red with rust,
And his musket mOlds In his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was The time when our Little

And don't YOU make any noiseH,
So toddling OF to his trundle-bed,
lie dreamt o. pretty toys;
And, as he was dreaming an angel song
Oh. DO years are many. the years are
But The little toy friends are true!
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
Each in the same old place
Awaiting the touch OF little hand,
The smile of a little face;
And they wonder. as waiting the long
In the dust of that little chair.
What has become of our Little Boy Blue,
Since hc kissed them and put them there.
WyNKEN. BLYNKEN. AND NOD.
Wynken Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in "a wooden shoe
Sailed on river of crystal light,
Into sea of dew.
Where are you going. and what do You
The old moon asked the three.

That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets OF silver and goid have WEI
said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song.
As they rocked in the wooden shoe.
And the wind that sped them all night
Rudied the waves of dew.
The littic stars with the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea-
"NOW east your nets wherever YOU wish
Never afraid are We"
So cried the stars to the fishermen
Wynken,
Blynken.
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the tWinkling foam
Then down from the skies come the wood

Bringing the fishermen home;

As II II could not be,
And some folks thought twas a dream

OF sailing that beautiful sea-
But l shall name you the fishermen

And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoes that sailed the skies

So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked fishermen

USE OF LATIN BY DOCTORS,
some Reasons Why Prescriptions
Are Written in the Dead Language,
From the New York Herald


From the New York Herald.
don't see," said the man who was
leaning against the drug store counter,
why doctor can't write his prescrip-
tions in English, instead of Latin. Sup
pose l need some whisky on one Of those
Roosevelt Sundays. Suppose my system
absolutely required whisky; that my
health and future usefulness to society
depend upon it. Well, 1 go to my doc
tor and get a prescription 1t calls for
Spiritus furmenti Now, that amt what
1 want; l want whisky. Why cant he
come out fiat-footed and say so? But
l Us SUPPOSE ~ he thinks that would be giving
en- I'd take his wisdom with a grain Of
cmoride of sodium than with a grain OF
salt. Isn't that it?'
Inc druggist smiled and said: You've
Sot the same idea most people have. You
tnlnk, suppose, that the doctor writes
ms prescription in Latin so it cant be
read so easily-so the layrnan can't steal
his trade and learn what he is giving
MIN. But that's all wrong. In the frst
place, Latin is a more exact and concise
language than English, and, being dead
language, does not change, as all living
languages do.
Then, again. since a very large part
OF the drugs in use are botanical, they
nave IN the pharmacopoeia the same
names that they have in botany-the sci
entiiic names Two-thirds of such drugs
haven't any English names and SO
couldn be written in English.
But suppose doctor did write a pre-.
scrlptlon IN English for an uneducated
pauent, The patient reads it, thinks ne
remembers 1t, and so tries to get it filed
from memory the second time. Suppose,
Ior instance, II called for iodide OF po-
o oScs,i,1I and he got it confused with
cyanide OF potassium He could safely
take ten grains of the first, but one
grain of the second would kill him as
9 atad as mackerel; That's an exaggger-
ated case, but it will serve for an illus
iratlon- Don't you see how the Latin
Is protection and a safeguard to the
patent! Prescriptions in Latin he can
read and consequently does not try 10
remember.
Now. for a final reason. Latin is a
language that is used by scientific men
the world over, and no other language
Is; GU can get Latin prescription MI

Conduct of Deer That More Than
AstOnished "a Hunter

From the Forest and Stream.
Some years since. in company with five
besides myself 1 was still-hunting deer in
Arkansas On the morning we were to
break camp l shouldered my Winchester
to take farewell tramp over the grounds
we had hunted for two weeks. 1 had
walked about one and a half miles, and
was standing near the end of prairie.
Behind me was a very briery slough. I
had been standing several minutes when
1 heard three successive sounds of noises
that were much louder and coarser than
the whistle or snort of any deer I had
previously heard. At first I thought it
some other animal but presently he was
in sight, and when within about 200
yards of me ran into a flock of turkeys
He would single out one and chase it
away, then another, until he had chased
of nine or ten, likely all of the flock
when he returned to the line or track he
was following and came on, part of the
time trOtting and part of the time walk
ing, but all the time travelling as if he
were tracking something. When within
eighty yards of me he came on my track
ana stopped, turning half around, giving
me fine shot He was only three-point
buck. and rather small for three-pOint-
er, but he seemed TO be on the warpath
judging by the way he chased the tur-
keys, ana he seemed TO care very little
for me. Now, l have frequently heard
ueef WilSIe Wnen frightened and have
heard them snort from the same cause
but this deer made altogether a louder
and different noise from either.

GODS ACRE.

(Sung a. his funeraL)
Out yonder in the moonlight, wherein
Gods acre lies,
Go angels walking to and fro. singing
Their radiant wings are folded and tbeir
eyes Blended low,
As they sing among the beds, wherein the
flowers delight TO grow.
Sleep. oh. sleep! The shepherd guardeth
his sheep.
Fast speedeth the night away: soon COM
eth the glorious day.
Sleep, weary ones, while We may; sleep.
oh, sleep.
The flowers within Gods acre see that
fair and wondrous sight,
And hear the angels singing to the sleep-
ers thrO' the night.
And, To- throughout the hours of dav these
gentle flowers prolong.
The music of the angels in that tender
slumber song.
Sleep. oh, sleep! The shepherd loveth his
He that guardeth His flock the best
Foldeth them unto His loving breast
SO sleep ye now and take your rest
Sleep, oh, sleep!
From angels and from flowers the wears
have learned the soothing song.
And with the heavenly music speed the
days and nights along;
So thrO all time whose flight the sban-
herds vigils glorify,
God acre slumbereth in the peace of that
sweet lullaby.

The Dakota Jack Rabbit.

From an Exchange.
The jack rabbit is a prairie institution
that givessthe settlers dog plenty of ex-
ercise. When a settler sees a jack rab-
Bit for the first time starts him up sud
denly on the prailie-he imagines that by
quick movement he can lay his hands
on him. The rabbit is awkward, appears
to be lame in every joint, holds up one
foot as though it panied him, and alto
gether creates the belief that he is
delapidated wreck Of an ungalnly, ami
mate thing. The settler is surprised that
he cannot "grab" him, The settlers
dog. also, is confident that he can quick~
" make an end of the rabbit. He bristles,
run leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed, doubles it again, triples that,
ouadruples the whole, when, 10! the rab
bit disappears. There is some flying
grass, vanishing streak of light, a
twinkling of two prodded feet extending
rearward, and he is gone. The dog sits
on his launches and concludes that it
was a dream, and that he did dot see
rabbit at all.

In fact, it is right upon us, so set your
sails for hard winds.
We are told by the clerks of the signal
service bureaus throughout the country
that we are going to have quite a severe
experience with the winds, accompanied
by considerable rain, the commencement
Of which is looked for tonight or tomor-
row. The time of the year when the
days and nights are of equal duration

nual warning of the elements which is
fraught with so many dangers to com
merce on the high seas and cities along
The coast.
Many weather prophets have declared
that the equinox of 1856 will be the
seyerest known in years, and a terrific
storm, they tell us, will sweep up the
coast from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Dominion of Canada, carrying destruction
before it. The frightful experience of
last year is still fresh in the minds Of
The public, who pray that it may not be
repeated. The more optimistic Of man
kind say there's no cause of alarm, as
predicated disasters of this character are

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iuflmed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is
lnfamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and When it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case cf Deafness (caused by catarrh)
