THE RHEUMATIC.
[BYO. NJ. Steward. ]

by ". M. OtcWdKu.I
A man when sick and all run down,
And rheumatic from heel to crown;
And the wind blows in through every
crack,
And chills are creeping up his back,
Feels quite as IL he'd like TO go,
And leave all such things here below.
Just as the inmates of house,
Feel when the rain gives them a douse
AdOwn through unprotected roof,
As many a shiverer can give proof
They want to stay, they want to go,
Gould they conveniently do so.
The doctor says repair your body,
With physic, tOnics, wines and teddy
Don't eat or drink too much, he'll say,
Not more than once or twice day.
Retire early unto thy bed,
Sleep well and thou hast naught TO
dread.
Good preaching. dear, good. doctor this,
But an ! this stitching rheumstis
Spells all your theories, that it does,
For oh, dear how my ears do buzz
With vertigol
By, here they gol
These pains they grow
From head to toe.
My back aches So
1t seems as though
I'd rather die-ohl
Hold onl By Joe
1t does hold on with deadly grip,
That cutting pain that will not slip
Nor break it's hold though loud pray
That twill not take my breath away.

Dear Friends:
We know that there we're
two presidents. Abraham Lincoln and
Jefferson Davis Abraham Lincoln
was the republican president and JET
fsrson Davis was the southern pre-i-
dent. and the states could not agree
toyethar 50 the southern states seced
ed. After this came we were between
two parties and could not get any
strength until the states were reguiat-
ed into union. The republicans put
us on loot, and that is how we got our
freedom.
Now, we have gone again and chos-
en- two presidents for the states
North and South We are IN the act
TO be seeded again. because one IS
for gold and the other is for silver. j
am thinking every citizen ought to
vote himself in a good cause. We
learn that this silver dollar on the
market is worth 80 cents and some
saw SO cents. We want the one hun
bred cent dollar. We have never
heard that gold is not good. Gold Is
esteemed very highly
Some one has fell out with England
we don't know for what cause. We
all ought to be glad to see England
and our states live in union.
Brethren and friends, we don't know
the difficulty between the two coun-
tries We ought to be careful. Some
body has looked on the silver money
and say it is not pure. And, don
care what President sits in the chair
he is got the pure money to pay OF
if ne borrOws It. hope that all may
take this in mind and at heart and see
If it is not fruitful My ideas is this
if it be right, to publish this work
God formed in me about a month ago
and the fame of this work has never
left me.
/ would like TO have a chance to ex-
press myself among the colored race
concerning this work. If we ever lid
need Moses and Aaron, we need them
now. They will have to go down in
Egyp to talk with king Pharoah.
Brethren, l hope you will unite
yourselves together concerning this
work. ! think il should be looked up
on and carried before the people. Any
one that will take it on himself to call
a meeting. l am ready.

Street Railways In Phnaa.Inh,a

By the street railway statement it
appears that there are within the city
limits 8168 miles of streets now cccu-
pied by passenger railways and 116Z
miles on which street car privileges
have been granted, but not yet used.
The latter item is somewhat surprising
information for people who have been
under the impression that the city al
ready had about all the street car lines
it had use for. There are, however,
some long lines, especially in the sub
urbs, for which councils granted privi-
leges many months ago, some Of them
under the representation that the pro-
jectors were in great haste to build. but
on which not stroke of work has yet
been,done. Philadelphia Ledger.

In weak persons bleeding at the nose
IS frequently hurtful and should be
stopped without delay, as continued
hemorrhage may prove fatal if neglected.
Those who suffer from poorness Of
blood, or an@mia, and are sometimes
seized with violent nose bleeding,
should avoid, as far as possible, any
thing which may tend to bring it on.
Gentle exercise only should be taken, as
violent bodily movements may provoke
a repetition of the 'hemorrhage. Even
running down stairs hastily should be
avoided.
Bleeding at the nose is usually sign
that something is wrong with the sys-
tenn. The cause should. if possible, be
discovered and steps taken to remove it
