Wounded and
Para|yzed.
An Old Veteran of the War After
Years of Suffering has Shock
of Paralysis.
From the Press, Utica, N. Y.

MIR. David c. Talbot is a well-known
and respected citizen of Otsego County,
New York, residing at Edmeston, who
three years ago had stroke of paralysis,
which he attributes to the effects of a
wound received on the 10th of June, 1864,
before Petersburg, Va, while serving
with the New York Heavy Artillery.
The following is his own account of his
illness and convalescence, which will be
found interesting:
EDMEsToN, n. Y Aug. 81, 1896
son the fifth day of December, 1898,
was taken with paralytie shock, which
affected the whole of the left side, and |
could not speak for three weeks. l was
confined to my bed for a long time and
constantly attended by a physician,
though little relief was experienced. My
stomach and the muscles of my throat
were much affected. | was wounded in
June, 1854, at Petersburg Va, having
then lost three fingers of my left hand,
and that always affected me in a marked
degree, my arm often becoming numb.

the stroke, had two distinct shocks, the
first in the morning, which was so light
that the doctor was not at all alarmed,

WHAT will you have for des-
w sert9" asked my friend with
whom | was dining at cafe in the
old City of Mexico.
From where we sat | looked out
upon sea o. waving palms and trop-
ical plants. The great leaves of the
banana, with their rich green tints,
changing to darker hues, moved list
lessly in the evening breeze that
stirred and rustled the pointed cocoa
leaves in close imitation of falling
rain. Richly-colored lizards darted
about among the foliage, gorgeous
insects filled the air, while, far away,
a fitting background to the picture,
rose the deep blue outlines of the
distant mountains. The scene was
dessert enough for me, and said so.
"Ah! you want something light
and esthet tic" laughed my compan-
ion, and whispering something in
Spanish to the waiter, the latter
darted off; returning some minutes
later, he placed before me the strang
est dessert it was ever my good fort
une to see.
AT first | supposed it was dish of
white currants. The objects were
round, but of clear, amber hue, as if
drops or globules of this beautiful
substance had been moulded into
ornamental shlpes. Each globule
seemed to have stem, and, looking
to my friend inquiringly, found

Looking closer, l now discovered

Mexican delicacy, the honey.ant,

feited with sweets, the bottles are
naturally powerless; and that this is
appreciated by the others is evident
from an examination of their nests,
when it will be found that the honey
bearers are given separate room,
and there tended with the greatest
care. They are, perhaps, placed
there before being filed, or carried
in later; but, in any case, they are
found together in separate apart

which they cling with their limbs,

This, then, is the pantry, or store

ter store of other animals. When
the other ants are hungry they pro-
coed to this room and lick off the
drops of honey that by muscular
contraction are forced out by the
patient and never-hungry living
bottle.
These nests of the honey ants are
eagerly sought after by the native

Madge's bright curls floating about
her face.
Hello, Jake! Ho, Dan! let's go
fishing" said Tommy, using his stick
for fshing-rod.
"We've come to make you visit;
will you take us in out of the wet?"
asked Dave, not wishing to brighten
them.
But the water came swirling down,
and the cottage was low; so the boys
put their heads together with feel
ing of responsibility altogether new
to them.
"There is high perch where that
upturned pine is leaning against the
oak" said Jake.
"Good, and we'll shoulder the chill
dren if it comes to the worstp'
And it soon became evident that
it was coming to the worst, for the
water was trembling on the doorway
of the little cottage.
"Want a ride, Tommy, you and
Madge2 Jake and me will be the
horses" said Dave. "You might get
your feet wet," he added, laughing,
as little Madge's lips began to trem-
BILE.
So, mounted upon the shoulders
of the two stalwart youths, they
started for the fallen tree.
"Ge! Ho!" said Tommy from his
high perch.
He thought it was high fun, but
Madge buried her face in her hands
and her little form shook.
eff your horse don't go right, cut
him." said Dave, and the voice of the
big boy sounded SO much like her
mothers just then that the child
laughed.
1t was comfortable quarters there
for awhile, but the water rose and
was very cold, as Jake and Dave
knew to their cost, but Tommy and
Madge know nothing of it, for the
big coats of the boys were now
wrapped warmly about them, and,
perched upon their shoulders, they
were above the water.
I'VE must take care of the chill
dren," said Dave, as SILVER ran
through his stalwart frame.
"And God takes care of us, too,
doesn't hes" asked Madge.
YES" said Dave for the little
voice treasured him, and he felt then
that he and Jake could not have done
it all by themselves.
"Why, bless the boysl' said
CHEEKY voice, and the splash of pad
dies close by startled them.
"Why, squire, we're are most done
for" said Jake; but Tommy whistled
and clapped his little chubby hands,
exclaiming, sour horses carried us
through"
"The squire's strong arms were
firmly around them, and soon
"horses" and riders were in the boat
together.
They're as dry as powder horp,"
said Jake, as they handed the chill
dren over to their mother by the
squire's blazing fire.
"The Lord will reward you," said
kind Mrs. Garnet. The Widow Ri
ley had not found her voice.
"We said we'd take care of the
children" said Dave, as he steamed
his feet before the glowing fire.-The

THE WILD SCHOOL.

Once within the far-off jungle,
Sometime called Gazoozaland,
All the romping gang of children
OF the famous jungle band
Were one morning called together
BY very ancient rule,
For the time had come to send them
To the merry jungle school,
First the Lion and the Tiger,
Next the Bear and Monkeys came,
Then the Crocodile and Turtle
Waddled up to Join the game;
Then the Ostrich and the Parrot,
Pelican, Giraffe and Snake,
Hippopotamus and Camel
From the desert and the brake.
All these jolly jungle children
That had never heard the rule
Gathered eagerly together
Saving, Gwen have fun at school"
But the Elephant was teacher
Very stern and very grim,
And at first these jungle rompers
Were afraid to fool with him.
But at last truant Monkey,
Who had fingered near at hand,
Picked a cocoanut and threw it
Through the map of Zoozaland,
And the Tiger tried to catch it
AS he saw it whizzing by,
But he failed to gauge the distance,
And it struck him in the eye.
Then there was a sudden tumult,
And the teacher saw the fuss.
And not knowing what had caused it,
Spanked the Hippopotamus.
Then the school went all 10 pieces
States were flung and bottles flew,
And those children roared and beloved
Al the tumult louder grew.
lacks were placed beneath the teacher
While young Hippopot he scored,
And very wicked Monkey
Drew his picture on the board.
And when on the tacks he sat him
He sprang upward with roar,
Shouting go you wicked children!

care of Tommy and me?"
asked the little girl, hiding her curly
head moment in her mothers faded
gown.
"Yes, my darling;" but the voice
trembled a little, and Tommy held
her hand with the protecting air OF an
older brother. 1t was not in a me-
chanical, parrot like way that she
asked the Father to ''give us this day
our daily bread" for only day by day
had the bread come to that house
these years. She kept saying over
and over to herself: mot a sparrow
falleth to the ground without your
Father" and "The very hairs of your
head are numbered"-those dear old
texts that the heart can lean upon
till brighter look came into herface
as she left the door.
Jake Brown and David Corley were
saving logs down the road where the
storm of the week before had rough
ly passed.
"How is the river, Jake?" asked
the Widow Riley as she came down
the road.
"It's ugly, mum. Squire Garnet
said the rains above was awful"
"Don't talk 80 down hearted, Jake"
said David Corley, aside; women
folks is scared of water"
"The children" said the widow.
"Oh! the kids; that's the rub, said
Jake Brown in low tone.
Should she go back9 Might she
not be cut off from the children?
But they wanted bread. Should she
not help to answer her own prayer'
A fright look came into Dave Cor
ley's face. IF anything should hap
pen, mum, us will take care of the
children"
That's what two boys like US is
good for" said Jake, resting his huge
hands upon his AK moment.
The sun shone brightly and the
Widow Riley took heart and went on
her way; and as the hours wore on
and all was quiet, she went about
her work with one of those sweet old
hymns on her lips, that we have all
learned to love- But the hours were
long for little Tommy and Madge,
and as the day wore on they would
keep running down to the road to
watch, thinking it was almost time
for mamma to come home; but they
were used to that.
1t was pleasant sight to see Jake
Brown and David Corley swing logs.
"Hello!" called CHEEKY voice.
"How's the luck, squirrel Is the
water coming down."
Coming? 1t will be upon us be-
fore you can say Jack Robinson

squire put them on their mettle.

hats and turned their faces home
