ONLY A LEAF.

II was only a little leaf
Tint hung for awhile on It's bough;
II danced and futter,d-but life is brief.
And It's place Is vacant now
II was only little leaf.
Did II pay TO live at all7
The sun smiled on II: the cold rains came,
And then IL doomed TO fall.
II was only n little leaf.
But on Il did shine tho sun,
The winds caressed II. the BIRDS did sing.
And It lived I'll It's work was done

But II took its glndsome part
In the great earth's life. and at tho last.

ANCIENT SUICIDES.

n HetnouB Crime, and IndiEnities
Were Heaped Upon the Bodies.
Among the early Greeks suicide was
uncommon until they became contain
mated by Roman influence, says a
writer in Lippincott's. Their religious
teaching, unlike that of their Asiatic
contemporaries, was strongly opposed
to self-destruction. While a pure and
manly nation, they regarded it as a
heinous crime, and laws existed which
heaped indignity upon the body of the
suicide. By an Athenian law the corpse
was not buried until after sunset, and
the hand which had done the decd
presumably the right hanb-was cut
off and buried separately, as having
been traitor to it's owner.
The only suicides ever spoken of with
respect, or anything approaching COM
mendation, by the early Greeks, were
those Of purely patriotic character.
like those of Themistocles and King
Codrus, both of whom were considered
patriots. The latter, when tie Her
aclidae invaded Attica, went down dis
guised among the enemy with the in
tention of getting slain, and, hav-
Ing PIcheu d Quarrel with some
soldiers, succeeded in his object. The
reason for this act was that the oracle
had pronounced that the leader of the
conquering army must fa!l; and the
king sacrificed his life in order that his
troops might be victorious and his
country saved Themistocles is. said
to have committed suicide rather than
lead the Persians against his own peo-
pie. -

Deafness Cannot be Cured


BY local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Efamed condition of the mucous

this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can DO taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; pine cases out Of ten are caused
