4 SMART FOGTMAN.

\ lady had issued invitations for a
party OF IL, and on the morning of
the appointed day, when confer
ring with the foOtman, she discover
ed that of the u silver shells in
which scalloped oysters were to be
served had been misplaced. Rigid
search for the missing article having
proved unavailing, the lady decided
that sooner than give up that parti-
cular course she would simply decline
oysters when they were handed her,
and so the II shells would be suffi-
cient
1t happened that when the oyster
were served at dinner the hostess was
engaged in very animated cOnVer sa-
ton with one or two Of her neigh be rs,
and forgetting her determinat on
took one Of the shells of oysters and
set it before herself.
If the servants heart fell in consi er-
nation at this, he gave no extern al
sign of it, but, speaking in tones
distinct though low, said respectful y:
Excuse me, madam, but you sud

TIE OLD WAYS IND THE NEU
BY JOHN II. YATES.

NJ ''iiN H. 1 \ 1 i-'N-
I've lust come in from the meadow wife, where
the grass is tall ana green;
| hobbled out upon my cane 10 see johns new
machine:
1t made my old eyes snap az IN TO see that
mower NOW,
And | heaved sigh for the scythe l swung
some twenty years ago.
Many and mauy's the day Eve moved meath
th- rays of q scOrchiI@ sun.
| Till thought my poor old bUc> would break
ere iay task !Cc tIe day WAS done;
often IhIHN ct the day OF ioii IL ths He.ds all
over the farm,
Till l feel the sweat on my wIinkIcd brow, and
the Old pain come il my arIn.
II was hard work, it was slow wor& a=swig2tn'
Unlike the mower th;lt went through the grass
like dculE through the ranils ut men:
1 stood ana looked TIL my old eyes ;cEcG,
amaHJ Il #, IL speed and power:
The work tnat n tuuIl me = day ~ do, il done
III one Shur; Euur.
John said that l hadn't seen the half; when he
puts il into his wheat,
| shall see it reap and rake it, and put it III
bundles neat:
Then soon Yankee will come along, and set
TO work and larn
To reap it, and thrcSh il, and bag it up, ard
send it into the barn.
John kinder laughed wine u he said it but l said
to the hired men,
Il have seen so much on my pilgrimage
through my thrce-scOre years and ten,
That Wouidn I be surprised to see Il railroad i'll
the air,
Or Il Yankee in Il tyin' ship a-gon' most any
where
There's a difference i'll the rk done, and the
work my boys now do;
Steady and slow in the good old way, worry
and trct III the new;
But somehow | think there was happiness
crowded into those toi!ing days,
That the fast young men Gl the present Will
not see till they change their ways.
To think that ever should live to see work
done in this wUnderuI way.
Old tools are ui little service now, and farmin'
The women Ia, got their sewin'. machines,
their wriugerS, and every sich thing,
and now play croIurt in The dooryard, Orsit in
the parloI and siag.
'Twasn't you that had it so easy, wife, ip the
days so long zone by;
lOu Tiz up cal Iy, and sat up late, a-tOilin for
you and :
There were cows to milk there was butter to
make; and many II day did You stand
A-waSlin my tuii-Staned garments, and wiring
in en- out by hand.
| All , wife, our children will never see the hard
WORK we have seen.
For the heavy task ana the long task is now
done with machine:
| NO longer the noise ol the scythe is heard, the
mower tn re hear it afar!
A-rattiln along through tie tall, stout grass
with the noise of Il ruIlTCad car
We'll the Old tools now are showed away: they
stand L-.ntherlp' rust,
! Ii ike many an old man / have seen put aside
with only crust;
When the ey CS grow din. when the step is weak.
whc the strength goes ont of his arm,
The best thin II poor old man can do is to hold

There is one old way that they can't improve.

POISONS IN EIIR BLOSSOMS

One by one illusions are dispelled,
and the case of the young woman who
was overcome by the perfume OF a
1uaSS of viOlets sent her by a friend
adds another wreck TO the list of brOk.
Ell idols. 1t has always been couaid-
cred the most beautiful compliment
one could pay friend to send flowers,
roses or violets especially, as a token
of affection. But that it is know wn
that deadly poisons lurk among these
charming little blossoms which may
bring harm to offset the pleasure given
to dear ones the charm must certainly
be lessened.
The story of this young woman's
narrow escape, as told, was a surp se
to many who had never realized tIat
there was any danger in flowers. The
hundreds of beautiful YiOlets which
had been sent her by II FRIEND in
California, and which she priced SO
highly as not to wish to bc pared
from them even during the MI ut,
came near being the cause of uer
death, for she was found in Il unc IN
scIOus condition in the morning md
was with difficulty aroused.
How dangerous the poisonous &; ,es
which the flowers eXhale can beco ne,
when in badly ventilated TO Ill,
would be a good subject for study by
the bellies of society or the sti re,
who receive so many similar tribI les
to their charms.
DIR. Fowler, who was asked ais
opinion on the subject, said that III ny
cases Of dangerous illness and evel OF
death from such causes were ' ell
kno wn ard authenticated. ---
The plants, especially fioweI ng
ones" DIR. Fowler said, during he
day are not harmful, because [ ey
are breathing in just the part of ne
air which our lungs throw off, but at
night the process is reversed, and ey
throw Off the carbonic acid rs,
which is a poison to our lungs i lis
causes weakness OF the heart, ia at
ness and hySteria with some peoi lie,
and even death.
"A case is known which happe ed
not very long ago in Germany III ne
OF the HesscS, where the friends Of
bride and groom, in their desire to
start them on their career on u I sy
pathway, adorned their room V th
quantities of flowers. 1t was in c id
weather, and the windows were clio ed
leaving the air heavy with perfur es,
The happy couple retired TO their Jse
decked room and were found in he
morning dead, heart failure hav ng
resulted from the poisonous perfu he.
There is poison III the perfume of
many flowers, not in vIolets Ill re
than any others, but it is in S, cn
small quantities as to be harm sss
unless massed and confined. Prussic
acid is found in mild degree in most
perfumes, and it is used by many per-
tuners. in fact, TO intensity odurs.
Other we'll known medical poisons
come from flowers. 1t is never safe
