NEGLECTED. DEAD.


lhe grave had received no care from the
hand of man. In days gone by, when the
memory of sorrow was fresh, tears may
have been she'd and the briny drops let fall
oh the cold clay; but as years passed on
those who loved the dead hal gone away,
or perhaps lay beneath the SOIL themselves.
and so loving care and religious attention
stopped not near this neglected spot. The
leaves, tossed before the winds of winter,
had covered in part the sinking mound.
Other graves, at first glance, might seem
equally neglected; but as the gaze became
more fixed, this one seemed more lonely
more dcsolate than any other. 1t was not
the sombre brown Of its leafy covering, not
the sickly yellow of the clay, not the crum.
bling remains of the head-board, nor vet
the cracks in the earth, which revealed the
decay below, but rather combination of
them all which gave to the grave its ap.
pearance of dcsolation and which brought
up in such ghastly and dreadful form the
view Of death.


No practical thoughts, no optimism could
dispel the gloomy thought that thus might
lie, before a cycle Of years had gone, the
spectator whonow stood over the remains
of one, but little while ago, bright and
beautiful in life.


Feelings of contempt for our race were
not TO be rcpressed; contempt for the self.
ishness that causes forgetfulncss of the
claims of the dead-the selfshness which
occupies all time with labors and cares for
the empty and vain things Of this life to
the exclusion Of those holy duties, those
sweet observances, that tender consideta-
tion which would keep green in our hearts
all that is most conducive to a noble life
Shame rest upon people who are so lost
as not to revere their dead.


But from the balmy South there comes
gentle breeze that whispers in low en-
chanting music Of coming spring. The
leaves Oh the mound flee before the mur-
muring air, and there il revealed the fact
that if mar has forgotten, God remembers
Whether planted there by loving hands or
by some mysterious moving Of nature, we
do not know, but the leaves when blown
away reveal tiny ilowcr-a hyacin.h of
purcst white-whose petals will receive,
before the coming morning, the dew drop
the sparkling tear symbolic of the earlier
grief And see, almost hidden beneath the
flowers pearly bell is the blue violet. All
the drearness is gone. Here in death there
is life. The Creator has crowned the desc
late mound with beautiful though earthly
stars. Blue is forget me not and white is
purity. He, the parent Of all, forgrts not
the pcanest of those he loves; but reserves
them at last for a crown of purity eternal
beyond the stars. The selishncss of men,,
their forgetfulness, obscures not His mem
ory. There is consolation in the thought
men may suffer their graves to become bare
aud desolatc, may cease even to remember
those who sleep there, but the Creator re-
minds us by delicate symbols that His
memory never sleeps.

MAKING GAME OF CAMP MEETINGS
There is class of people who pretend tC
belong to the small potato aristocracy
who constantly visit camp meetings, ant
not unfrequently make sport of those
who are laboring at the Lords work iT
such manner as experience teaches tC
have been the most successful. These
people themselves are not so offensive as


is the example they set, certain young
men and boys who have not profitted by
the instruction of parents and ape the
more assuming people. If we had a
county constable or two that was not
imbued with the spirit of evil these bad,
riotous scamps would soon find their
level. 1t is for their good that the plous
labors of the camp meeting people are
continued. We hope some day to have a
Levy Court that will remember that the
Church people have some claims upon
their attention, and that some regard will
be had to the character of the men APP
pointed. L. would be we'll to appoint
several active, able and fearless men con-
stables in the several Hundreds where
camp meetings are held to meet this very
contingency. Men who would not have
the office except for this purpose, and to
act only during the camp season, should
be selected.


Camp meetings and other extra efforts

that church has risen to the very first rank
in the country. Its ministers excel all
others in education, in force of logic and
in oratorical success. 1t is too late for the
church organizations which
the Methodists have so far outstripped to
attempt to ridicule them. Her Neumans,
her Todds and her Hills, are giants in

The absurd practice of locking the
fast in compartments on rail
way cars has minor inconvenience as
well as serious dangers. A part of the
system consists of having no handles to
the doors on the inside. A writer to the
English Mechanic pleads earnestly for
inside handles, chiefly because if they
were provided the windows would not be
so frequently opened as they have to be
now, to reach the outside handles and,
consequently, there would be less chance
of the cushions being wet by rain when
the windows are carelessly left open.
He thinks that there would be little
danger that children might turn the in
side handles and fall out of the cars,
and he hopes that ladies' dresses would
not be frequently caught in entering or
leaving. The American public has often
been reproached with too easy conces-
sion to inconvenience, but there would
be something near akin to riot on a
railway train carrying human beings in
this country, if there were no inside
handles to the doors of a single passen-
ger car. Our Improvements in cars are
constantly gaining wider recognition.
One of the latest is method of heating
a whole train through pipes from stove
in the baggage car; the pipes being con-
trived SO as to connect or disconnect
without especial attention when the
cars are coupled or uncoupled; while
a universal joint gives the requisite free
dom of motion at the point where the
pipes unite. The danger from fire from
stoves in the cars may thus be reduced
to a minimum. Perhaps the ingenious


inventor will divise an equally effective


mode of warming street cars by pipes


under the seats.

Last spring Mr.. William Sinclair, of
Cambray, Ont, caught young crow
before it could fly and broug int it home,
and it soon became quite tame. 1t
struck up a warm friendship with
young hound belonging to Mr.. Sinclair.
The crow always was around with the
hound, shared his meals and slept in his
box at night, on the bottom, not seeking
to perch unless they were disturbed
during the night, when he would come
out and fly up into one of the trees near
by and remain there until morning
When given food it would invariably
take a portion to the hound. 1t would
not give it to him at once, but would fly
around Just above his head with piece
of meat or crust of bread in his bill, and
keep teasing him for quite while with
it, and then would finally let him have
it. But last week instinct began to be
too powerful and he concluded that he
must go to other quarters for the winter,
and it was amusing to see how he tried
to coax the hound away with him. He
would fly away little piece and then
light and cav to the dog; then he would
fly back, and seemed in great distress
because he could not induce his four.
footed friend to 60 to warmer quarters
for the winter; but, finding he would


not leave, he at length flew off and .ha.

There is a growing belief that the
habit of cigarette smoking has had a
bad effect upon the health of those ad-
dicted to it.


Several of the prominent physicians
of this city unite in declaring that
cigarette smoking is much more in
furious than cigar smoking, because the
smoke is generally inhaled, and often
elected through the nose. 1t has par
ticularly harmful local effect on the
mucous membrane of the nasal passage.
People who use cigarettes are more liza
BILE than others to be afflicted with local
irritations that produce catarrh. In
persons of nervous temperaments the
doctors say cigarette smoking always
produces constitutional effects. The
pulse is increased in frequency, becomes
smaller than is natural, and is irregular.
Such persons are said by physicians to
have tobacco pulse" and "tobacco
heart" The action of the pulse in this
respect is not to be mistaken. Persons
who constantly smoke cigarettes are said
by physicians to be easily excited, and
to have tendency to vertigo and dim
ness of vision, besides being troubled by
dyspepsia. Bronchial and throat dis
eases are much more readily caused by
cigarette-smoking than by cigar-smok-
ing, and during the first six or seven
years large increase in diseases of the
air passages, due alone to this habit, has
been observed. Physicians state that
there is not one. fftieth as much of the
mucous surface covered by cigar smoke
as by the inhaled smoke of cigarette.
Excessive indulgence in any form of to-
bacco smoking may produce general
paralysis, while by enfeebling the circu-
lation, lowering the vitality of the sys-
tenn, and interfering with assimilation
of food, it tends to produce anemia,
which is one of the first steps towards
softening of the brain. Vertigo, when
resulting from smoking strong cigars, or
from the inhaling of cigarette smoke, is
due to an9mia, or in ether words, to q
diminished supply of blood to the brain.


By some it is claimed that the paper
wrapping of cigarettes is as hurtful as
the tobacco. This claim is grounded
upon the belief that the products of the
imperfect combustion of the paper or
other vegetable fiber are pyrogallic and
pyroligneous acids, which make theil
presence unpleasantly felt in the mucous
membrane. <
