A Strange rlessage.

From the Gentleman
 Some years ago the cashier of Liv- erpool merchant received a small Bank of England note, which he held up to the light to make sure it was genu- inc. Tn doing so he noticed some in distinct brownish marks as if words had been traced on the front of the note and on the margin Out of curi- osity he tried to decipher them. In a weak solution of acid the words came ont much more -iegibly. and he was able to read the following sen tence:
 If this note should fall into the hand of John Dean of Longhillmar, he will learn thereby that his brother is languishing prisoner in Algiers.
 Mr. Dean, when the note was shown to him, lost DO time ia asking the gov ernment for assistance, and finally se- cured the freedom of his brother on payment of a ransom to the dey. The unfortunate man had been prisoner for eleven years, and had traced with a piece of wood for pen and his own blood for ink, the message on the banknote, in the hope of it's being seen sooner or later.

Generates Poison.

Open can of peaches. apricots, cherries or other frut-for all fruit is acidulous--let it stand for some time and the fruit acid and the tin are ready to do the work of poisoning. A chemical knowledge that tells just how the dangerous compound is creat- ed is unnecessary to an avoidance of the peril The rule to follow is never to make lemonade or other calculated drinks in tin cau or bucket, nor all low them to stand in 8 vessel of tin; and in the case of canned fruits or fish immediately upon opening the can, turn the contents out upon an earthen- ware plate, or into a dish that is made of earthenware or glass Fruits Tn dramatically sealed cans. if properly prepared, generate no poison. As soon as opened the action Of the acid in the tin, with the aid of the atmos- phere begins, and in short time the result is deadly poison.

HIS NORTHERN nRoruER

Just make f. two old fellow;
 want to stand once more Beneath the old flag with you
 As in the days nf yore Our fathers stood together
 And fought an land and sea The battles fierce that made us
 Anatlon of the free. I whinDrd you down at Vickesburg, You licked me at Bull Run, on many field we struggled,
 When neither victory won. You wore the gray of Southland, wore the Northerd hlue; Like ..1e- gTc itSa : CUT CUT duty When screaming bullets flew. Four years we fought like devils. But when the war was done. Your hand met mine in friendly clasp, Our two hearts beat as one. And now when danger threatens. No North. ro south we know, Once more we stand together To fight the common foe. My head. like yours, is frosty- Old age is creeping on: Life's sun is lower sinking, My day will soon be gone. But if our country's honor Needs once a.sain her son I'm ready, too, old fellow So get another gun.
