If CANNOT LAST FOREVER. I've a word of comfort for you Who on life's rugged road Are toiling 'neath the burden Of a heavy, hopeless load; It will make your heart grow lighter, Whatever be your wrong, Aud give you strength to bear it, If you take these words along. And say when clouds of darkness Around your pathway hover, "The sun is shining just beyond, , It cannot last forever." Just try then when you're wearied By each petty care and strife, By each little aggravation Of yonr common daily life; When angry words are rising, That you can scarcely smother, And everything seems "twisted up,", And tied in knots to bother, You'll find these words are like a knife, Each twisted knot to sever; Then straighten out each tangle with ?Tt. winnftt lust forever." Or if some great disaster Like a cyclone sweep your sky. And stunned and helpless with the shock Beneath the wreck you-Jie, Remember that no storm comes But has a clearing day; The darkest night a morning, An end the longest way; Then take these words to cheer you, You'll find them like a lever To raise your sinking spirits up, "It cannot last forever."

"bixm" There were three or four unoccupied seats in the car, bathe stood for a moment, grip in hand, near the door, and then walked to a seat in which a young lady sat alone, and sat down beside her with an impudence that astonished all other passengers. The girl looked up at him and around the car, and evidently realized the situation, for she took pencil and tablet from reticule and made ready for him. After about five minutes the man turned i toner and observed: "Beg pardon if I am mistaken, but don't von live at Utica?" She looked up in a furtive way, and then wrote on the tablet and handed him: "I am deaf and dumb." "Ah! By George!" he sighed as he read it; "that's too, too bad! Deuced pretty girl to have such a misfortune. | Well, I'm left, after all ray smartness. Saw her at the window before I got on, and carried out the plan to'a dot. Deaf and dumb, eh ? First one I ever struck!" He nodded his head to her to signify that he understood, and he would have been glad to change seats if he could have done so without loss of dignity. As the train thundered on he perused the contents of a couple of newspapers, yawned awhile and then bought and finished a novel; and finally, after a ride of four mortal hours, the whistle blew, and he reached for his grip with the remark : /'I'll be hanged if I ain't glad this stupid ride has come to an end at last." "Ditto!" quietly replied the girl, as she turned on him. "You?you!" he gasped as he stood there looking down upon her with twelve kinds of emotion galloping over his countenace. "Good-bye" she said; and he backed out and dropped to the platform like a man retreating from a mule's hind legs.?[New York Sun. How. He Succeeded.?The dark ways of politicians are not always past finding out. An Indian agent, whose official character was not above reproach, determined to present his case favorably to the administration by sending a delegation of Indians to Washington to declare his praises. He dressed the aborigines in an extraordinary costume of war-paint and feathers, to their own great astonishment, and filling them fUIl of bad whisky and praise of himself, sent them on their way.

A gentleman traveling in Texas, met on the road a wagon drawn by four oxen driven by a countryman, who, in addition to the skillful crack of the whip, was vociferously encouraging his horned horses in this fashion: "Haw Presbyterian," "Gee Baptist,'" "Wboa Episcopalian," "Get up Methodist." The traveler stopped the dfriver, remarking to him that he had strange names for his oxen, and he would like to know why he thus called them. Said the driver: I call this ox Presbyterian, because he's a true blue and never fails, pulls through difficulties and holds to the end. I call this ox Baptist, because he is always after water and it seems as though he'd never drink enough, then again he won't eat with the rest.

The Blmp of Goodness.?It is not every day an artist finds a customer who is both rich and appreciative, who not only can pay handsomely for work done, but estimates it at its true artistic value. Such patrons are worth waiting for. A mourning husband came to see the bust of his dear deceased wife. "Pray study it well," said the sculptor. "It is only in clay, and I can alter it." The widower looked at it with the most tender interest. "It is her very self!" he exclaimed; "her large -nose?the sign of goodness!" Then bursting into tears, he exclaimed: "She was so good ! Make the nose a little larger !" A student said to a distinguished kwvermififkv *'T Minnnt iinrlpisitftnrl hnw circumstantial evidence can be stronger than positive testimony."

Now, when I take the cover from the can, out leaps a bullfrog. Surely, the frog is stronger evidence than the man!" VST The car was crowded. A lady entered, and a male occupant, who had evidently been imbibing the ardent pretty freely, arose to give her his seat. Another specimen of the genus homo slipped into the vacant place. Indignant at the trick, the polite son of Bacchus turned to the interloper and scornfully remarked, "I am pretty full, I know, but I shall get over it in the morning. You are a hog, and will never get over it!" The shot went to the mark, and the victim sneaked out and off the car. man living in an outlying district of Concord, N.

When asked to settle, with great indignation he made this reply : "Didn't you give me all these checks, which are not half used? If I owe you anything, I will draw a check and pay you." tt^An airy young man pranced into a store, blew a puff off cigar smoke in the saleswoman's face, and demanded "a blue cravat to match my eyes."

Turkeys, to be valuable on the farm, require much care and attention when young and should be kept separate from other kinds of fowls. Young turkeys should be fed at least five times a day until they pre several weeks old. They are not voracious feeders; therefore they need to be fed often. Turkey hens, as a rule, commence laying about the 15th of March, and the number of eggs vary according to age and breed. Those of the common strain are greater egg-producers, hardier than -the fancy breeds, and mature earlier, although they do not attain to as great weight. Turkeys should never be set so early as to bring out the cHicks before the weather becomes warm and settled.* When tne little chicks come out it is well to remove the shells from the nest, for an unhatched egg will frequently get into a deserted shellln such a manner that the chick will die. The young chicks are apt to wander from the nest, and should be kept in until they peep from the hen and sit around her. A very good coop may be made of laths, four and a half or five feet long, nailed to two-by-two-inch scantling, two feet long. Two or three inches apart is wide enough for the interstices. One end should be cioseiy Doarueu in me uireenun ui siuima. If the ground is level,'one end should be made lower to turn water in rainy weather. The coop should be moved every few days. The best feed for young, turkeys and ducks is yolks of h^rd boiled eggs, and after they are several days old the white may be added. Continue this for two or three weeks, occasionally chopping onions fine, and sometimes sprinkling the boiled egga with black pepper; then give rice, a teacupful, with milk enough to just cover it, and boil slowly until the milk is evaporated. Put in enough more to cover the rice again, so that when boiled down the second time it will be soft if pressed between the fingers. Milk must not be used too freely, as It will get too soft and*the grains will adhere together. Stir frequently when boiling. Do not use water with the rice, as it forms a paste and the chicks cannotswallow it. In cold, damp weather, a half-teaspoonful of cayenne pepper in a pint of flour, worked with lard enough to make it stick together, will protect them from diarrhea. This amount of food is sufficient for two meals for seventy-five chicks. Give all food in shallow tin pans. Boiled milk and water, with a little lime water in each occasionally, is the best drink until the chicks are two or three months old, when loppered and buttermilk may take the place of the boiled milk. Turkeys like best to roost on trees, and in their absence artificial roosts may be made by planting long forked locust poles and laying others across the forks. They take t/* thin kind nf a roost readilv. as thev re quire plenty of room. The most critical period comes when the chicks are several w.^eks old, and the tufts of feathers which support the wings are growing. Two quarts of corn meal, one tablespoonful each of black pepper and soda, two of allspice and salt, baked not too brown, and milk, loppered, scalded hard and drained not less than ten or twelve hours, should be given after the discontinuance of eggs and rice. Four quarts of scalded bran and one and onehalf pints of nice fresh wood ashes, mixed, make a good preventive of cholera. This should be given early in the morning when their crops are empty. Dry ashes should be given them to dust themselves in when one week old until they are ready for the market. Corn should hot be given before September. Oats soaked in water for several minutes and drained for eight or ten hours are the best feed at night, after they become carunculated and get red heads. A gallon of thick slaked lime and a pint of sharp sand, dried and crumbled, is greatly relished by turkeys. A droopy appearance of the head, and dark colored evacuations, watery and yellowish green, are indications of cholera. Five to ten drops of laudanum in a tablespoonful of melted lard given two or three times within twenty-four or thirty-six hours, is the best remedy for this disease. FODDER CORN AND FODDER CANE. In a bulletin issued by tne Maryland Agricultural Experiment station, H. PL Alvord, director, gives the following conclusions in regard to the growth of fodder corn and fodder cane: For the greatest quantity of fodder, green or dry, corn or cane should be grown in drills far enough apart to permit easy and sufficient cultivation, the space between the rows to be governed somewhat by the size of varieties grown, and the plants to be thin enough in the drills to give ample air and light to assure maturity. For corn of the larger varieties, the nearest definite rule that can be safely given is to plant the rows 3 to 3* feet apart and single stalks 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. For best quality of fodder the same method should be followed as for greatest quantity. The chemical composition of fodder corn grown in different ways is found to be very similar, and the exceptions occurring do not justify any modification of the advice just given for getting best quality. The nutritive ratio and percentage of dry substance digestible are slightly in favor of the thicker seeding, but not enough so to compensate for loss in quantity of crop. Thick seeding appears to cause a decrease in the relative amount of nitrogen in the albuminoid form. This diminishes the value of the fodder, as the amide nitrogen is considered to have less nutritive value. To get the most food value on an acre of corn or cane it should not be cut till the plants begin to show signs of drying and withering and the seeds begin to glaze. The product of an acre of sowed corn, as ordinarily grown, has usually a food value little more than half as great as the product of the same acre in drills, as above artvicarl Tho lnhnr pvnpndpd.in t.hfl mil* tivation required by tfie drill system is profitably applied, as shown by the saving of seed and tne increased crop. A crop of fodder corn, grown in drills and well cultivated, serves to clean and improve the land. Sowed corn [broadcast] or thickly drilled fodder allows weeds and grass to grow and perfect their seeds, and '.'fouls" the land. To grow a large crop of fodder corn or fodder cane, rich land is needed; but heavy mauuring, good seed and good cultivation are profitable in securing a good crop; twenty to thirty tons freen weight is not an uncommon yield, eing an equivalent in food value of five to eight tons of good hay per acre. The variety of sorghum known as early amber cane, grown under conditions identical with Indian corn, as a forage plant, and in an unfavorable season, produced from one to four tons per acre of green fodder more than corn, at this station. As to quality for forage, the cane compared favorably with corn. Treatment of Acute Rheumatism.? For external applications in acute articular rheumatism, there are none more efficacious than mustard poultices. The use of these should be commenced at once, as soon as the joints become painful. If only a small number are affected, poultices can be applied to each simultaneously, or in succession until all are treated. When new joints become involved, renewed applications are demanded; in fact, the disease should be "chased" from one affected portion to another. The poultices may be applied twice daily, and after their use the inflamed joints should be wrapped in dry cotton wool, and then bandaged neatly and lightly with flannel. Some authors claim that these coverings are useless, but all who have suffered from the disease can testify that exposure of the joints, even to to the warm air of the sick room, aggravates the pain. A more expensive application, and to some more agreeable than the mustard, is the following: Oil of cajeput and spirits of camphor, of each one ounce; spirits of ammonia, six drachms ; alcohol and chloroform of each one ounce, To use this first fasten neatly over the inflamed joint flannel of sufficient size to cover the 'same; after saturating this with the mixture, which must be well shaken, quickly cover with another piece of flannel or oil silk. It should create an agreeable degree of heat, but if it burns severely, the outer covering must be at once removed to permit evaporation, which can be allowed for a moment and then again confined. The effect of the application will indicate how often to renew it.?[Boston Journal of Health.

By a mistake of the compositor, or illegi ible chirography on my part, 1 am made to say thatMf. Robin Manning was drowned in 18G5 or 'GO, instead of 1855 or '50. The last mentioned date is the one I intended, and I hope ray readers will note this correction. I would be glad for any reader of these reminiscences to call my attention to any material point or points in which I am mistaken, either in the dates or otherwise, and at the same time give such information, as will give my readers a more correct and intelligent idea of what I wish to impress upon. them. The object of these reminiscences is to carry the reader back to the days and times to which the sketches refer, to the accomplishment of which my efforts will be hereafter as heretofore directed. I have attempted to give these matters in detail as my recollection furnishes them, and I hope an indulgent public will excuse any disconnected statements that may be made. The late J. M. Srnarr, of Hopewell, deserves a place in these writings and this I intend hereafter to give. Intellectually any physically, Western York never pro- j duced a better specimen of manhood tnan Matt. Smarr. Although he never prosecuted his collegiate course to graduation, yet Western York had but few such scholars within its borders as he was. He was always stocked with answers for any question that might ho propounded. His ready wit was one boundless store of humor. He was always true to his friends and decided with his enemies. He was ready to forgive and forget the faults of the weak, and lend a helping hand to aid them in their troubles. His demeanor was such as to elicit the universal esteem of his fellowmen. Just at close of the war, while" the State was yet under military rule, he unfortunately became involved in a trouble that to him was a serious matter. In defending the property of an old and invalid|aunthe, with A.Sylvanus Wallace, killed two ex-slaves, Henry Wright and ...... Thomson, who were stealing the property of this poor old defenceless woman. Though the act was perhaps rash, yet we must remember that it was committed at a time and under circumstances different from any it has been the lot 01 tne present generation to experience. In this trying moment he found a friend and able, legal counsel in the person of ex-Judge Samuel W. Melton, of Columbia, who with that skill, energy and learning that has placed him among the brighest luminaries of his profession, took his case through the labyrinthian mazes of a military court and finally won it, though at a frightful cost of treasure to his client. No event in the life of Judge Melton has done more to elevate him to the exalted position he occupies to-day than that to which I have just called the reader's attention. Think of a man who stood high in the councils of the Confederate States, whose suggestions were almost the law of the land, after our armies were disbanded or surrendered, donning the role of his profession?the law, and going before a military tribunal, the members of which had, perhaps, not yet recovered from the animosities engendered by four years of bloody warfare, as well as the expenditure of millions upon millions of dollars, and there pleading the cause of his unfortunate countryman, and you have Saraael W. Melton as he appears in this connection. Every inch of ground he stubbornly defended, and his eloquent appeals for mercy for his fellow man at the hands of the military tribunal was the crowning point in the case. When the epoch of reconstruction passes under the reyiew of the historian, this incident will take its place in the record. The abnormal condition of the body politic. a few years afterwards, brought about an unfortunate state of affairs in which Mr. Smarr found himself again confronted by Federal laws. This he outlived and mirvia out luiHinnf fhn ampll r>f f-rprmnn nnnn his garments. He honorably adjusted himself to the situation, and until the day of his death no imputation could be cast upon his loyalty. In friendship he was true; in enmity he was honest. In athlete manhood he had but few equals and no superiors. He could stand on one bank of IBroad river, almost anywhere, and throw a stone across it. Full of wit, sarcasm and repartee, he enjoyed the confidence as well as the friendship of his countrymen. His first marriage was to Miss Martha Leech, daughter of Mr. Joseph Leech, whose name has been mentioned in these reminiscences. His second marriage was to Miss Martha E. Moss, who is at present the efficient postmistress of Hopewell. For a long time Mr. Smarr was postmaster and trial justice at Hopewell, and all his official acts, so far as I know, give evidence of his more than ordinary intellectual attainments. j. l. s. INVENTOR OF THE COWCATCHER. If you shouldevergo to Columbus, Ohio, ' said a railroad man, and should happen to drop into the model littered little office of the Novelty Iron works there, you will see a sharp eyed old gentleman who will more than likely be poring over some works on mechanics, or sketching the design for a pattern for some piece of ornamental iron work. The old gentleman is L. B. Laviefc, a native of Kennebec county, Me., who was the first locomotive engineer in actual service on the first railway built in Ohio, and the inventor of the attachment to the locomotive familiarly known as the cowcatcher, which is in use on every passenger and freight engine in the world to-day, but for which, invaluable as it is to railroad companies, he never received one penny. When Davies was 19 years old he was t.hp pntrineer on Commodore Vanderbilt's famous old steamboat the Cleopatra. He ran there one season and then drifted out west. The little Miami railroad was then building between Xenia and Springfield, in Ohio. He went to work on the road as engineer of a construction train, and when the road was completed, three years afterward, he ran the first passenger train. Some years later he entered the service of the Columbus and Xenia railroad. It was while he was running a locomotive on that road that he conceived the idea of a cowcatcher. The locomotives of that day had no cabs, and a row of iron spikes, four feet long and driven into the bumper of the engine a /oot apart and a foot above the track, was the locomotive builder's idea of the proper thing for a pilot or cowcatcher. And it was a cowcatcher, and no mistake. There was no headlights on the locomotives in those days, and as the railroads were not fenced in, and as cattle and live stock had free run of the country, scarcely a night passed but some cow or horse or hog was impaled on these spikes, much to the peril of the train and its passengers. The dangerous character of this rude and cruel pilot was a source of constant thought to Havies, and he studied daily how he might improve that attachment, and not only remove it as a menace to life aud property, but make it a safety feature of the locomotive. One day, while he was running his engine, and thinking on the subject of improving the pilot, he noticed a farmer plowing in a field near the railroad, and the manner in which the mold board of the plow threw the earth to a furrow on one side at once gave him the idea that developed the plan of the modern locomotive cow-catcher. The action of the mold board on the soil was just the action that was necessary to make a pilot a useful attachment instead of a dangerous one, but it was one sided. It did not take Davies long, however to see that by putting together a device that waB virtually a plow with two mold boards he would aommnlish the rlesired result. He con structed such a device and attached it to the locomotive "Patterson," of the Columbus and Xenia railroad, and the very first trip made with it its success was manifested. On the trip he ran into a drove of cattle that were crossing1 the track. The new pilot cut its way through them as if it were a plow turning the soil, and threw them right and left, clearing the track without any perceptible effect on the engine. All the locomotives on the road were at once .fitted with the cowcatcher, and it was not long before the idea spread to other roads, and from that time no locomotive has ever been built for passenger or freight service without Davies' cowcatcher. Davies did not patent his device, and although it has saved the railroads of this and other countries millions of dollars and hundreds of lives, he never received a penny's benefit from it.?[New York Mail and Express. Five Poisons in the Cigarette.?'Tobe healthy, the cigarette must be thrown away, says Prof. Laflin. It is very injurious, and sure death to the person who smokes it habitually. Why?

In a cigarette there is the oil in the paper, the oil of nicotine, s^ltpetrp to preserve the tobacco, opium to make it i mild, and the oil in the flavoring* The | trouble with the cigarette is the inhaling i of the smoke. If you blow a mouth full of smoke through a handkerchief it will leave a brown stain. Inhale the smoke, and blow it through the nostril, and no stain will appear. The oil and poisons remain in the head or body. Cigarettes create a thirst for strong drink ; and there should be anti-cigarette societies, as there are temperance societies. Teachers ought to watch and see that their pupils do not smoke. In 187!) there were !?00,000 cigarettes manufactured. Last year there were 1,200,000,000. lNTEN'sivE~UARI)ENIN(J. Man naturally wants the earth, or at i least that particular part of it which adjoins his particular estate, but he makes a great mistake when he engages in farming on an extensive scale. Prince Krapotkino, who lias in ado a careful study of the subject in Prance, gives a number of instances in the country districts around Paris, where comparatively ignorant farmers have made small market gardens enormously productive. One farm is mentioned by him of two and seven-tenths acres which produced annually r\w\r\ Uniwlt?n/1 un/1 fwnntv.fltm fnna nf mat*. I UUU UUIIUiUU UIIM hTVVIBVJ-UTV VVKO VI UlUi | ket vegetables of all kinds. The owner of this farm, by building a wall to protect his ! lands from cold winds, by whitening the walls to Hecuro all the possible radiated heat, and by the constant and judicious use of fertilizers, has his little farm in a productive condition from the last of January to the last of December. By simple and inexpensive means he has practically located his farm in the tropics. A French gardener does not care what kind of soil he starts with. He would he satisfied with an asphalt pavement, because he makes his soil, and so much of it that he has to sell it to keep his place from being gradually raised above the level of the surrounding country. When a farmer once understands the lawsof ohemistry he has no difficulty in making soil that contains all the materials needed for plant life. Price Krapotkine speaks of one gardener who has covered half an acre with a glass roof, and run steam pipes, supplied by a small boiler under I he ground sheltered by this covering. The result has been that he he has cut every day for ten months from 1,000 to 1,200 large bunches of asparagus, a product which under ordinary conditions would require sixty acres of land. But this result has been surpassed by an English farmer, who has a one acre mushroom farm which yields him an annual income of $f),000. Under the French method of culture it would be possible to make one square mile support one thousand human beings. On such a scale of productive capacity this country would support a population of 3, 000,000,000. Even when we kdock on a fair per centage for mistakes, exaggerations and unfavorable conditions, it will be seen that we are in no danger of having an over-population for many centuries to come.?[Picayune. No Removals Except for Cause.? A Washington dispatch says: Presidential postmasters will be allowed to serve out their four-year terms from the date of confirmation by the Senate. Postmaster General Wanamaker makes this plain by stating that "the President is not making removals except for cause." He added that tu displace a postmaster before his term expired would be a removal. This is the first authoritative declaration that has been made on this subject. It means that there will be no more postmasters appointed at Presidential offices until January, except to fill vacancies caused by death or resignation or removal for a flagrant cause. The postmaster general says that he will promptly make a removal where a postmaster is shown to be inefficient, but he will not remove a man merely to make a place for a Republican. This is the position of the president, and he has sent back to the department to go on file the papers in several cases where he has been asked to remove postmasters whose commissions do not expire until next spring. If the position of the president and postmaster general can be made plain to officeseekers, it ought to diminish somewhat the pressure which still keeps them from giving needed attention to other matters. The Democrats who were appointed to presidential post offices during the summer of 1885 were not confirmed by the senate until January or later, some not until July, so that their four-years' terms run well into 1890, and under the rule established by the president their successors will not be nominated until near the expiration of their terms. xfusir and Industry.?The cheerinir effect of brisk music is well known in the military service, where the fife and drum, playing lively airs, have often kept men on the march after they had grown too much exausted to go on without it. Acting upon the same idea, a largo employer of labor in one of our great cities has lately engaged a band of musicians to play almost constantly in his establishment, and keeps them performing nothing but lively music. A boss carpenter in Maine had one question which he always asked of journeymen who applied to be taken into his employ. If the applicant was found to possess all the other necessary qualifications, the "boss" would ask him j "What are your favorito tubes ?" "Why what do you want to know for?" "You whistle and sing some at your work, don't you?" "Oh yes." "Well, what tunes do you generally whistle or sing?" "Oh, ther's 'Old Hundred' and 'Auld Lang Syne' and 'Down by the Weeping Willow' and" "That's enough?" the boss would exclaim. "You won't do for me. Too slow, them tunes be. Good day!" On the contrary, if- the applicant answered, "Oh, I generally whistle 'Yankee Doodle,' or 'Money Musk,' or 'The Fisher's Hornpipe,' or something of that sort," the carpenter would say at once : "I think you'll do! Take off your coat if you want to, and go to worK." A Bone Missing.?A gentleman some years ago buried his father in a temporary grave while the tomb in course of construction for his remains was being finished. When completed the removal from one spot to the other took place, but on the temporary grave beingopened it was found filled with water and the coffin was decayed. This being the state of things the undertaker hastily packed up the bones, placed them in an urn and reinterred them. The same night the son dreatned that he saw his father in great displeasure, and, awakening from his dream, he fell asleep again to have it repeated. This happened for several successive nights until at length he mentioned the circumstances to his friends, for though no believer in dreams, his mind was troubled. One of his acquaintances suggested that perhaps his father's spirit objected to being removed; another hinted that more likely all the bones had not been collected, and this last hint led to a search and to the finding of a bone which had escaped notice. It was at once interred with the rest in the urn and since that night the son's slumbers have been undisturbed, the ghost, his grievance settled, appearing no more. ?[London Telegraph. Franklin's Famous Toast.?Ben Franklin was dining with a small party of distinguished gentlemen, when one of them said: "Here aro three nationalities represented ; 1 am French, and my friend there is English, and Mr. Franklin is an American. Let us each propose a toast. It was agreed to, and the Englishman's turn came first. He arose, and in the tone of a Briton bold, said : "Here goes to (freat Britain, thesun that gives light to all nations of the earth." The French mau was rather taken back at this, but he proposed j "Here's to Franoe, the moon, whose magnetic rays move the tides of the ! world." Our Ben then arose with his air of quaint modesty and said : "Here's to George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and moon to stand still?and they stood still." ftaT' An old miner who was hanged by i robbers in Idaho till he lost consciousness and was nearly dead, says it is a painless operation. When the rope is first drawn about the neck it hurts the skin, but as soon as the pressure on the brain begins the victim goes to sleep and knows no more. This is in accordance with the conclusions drawn from observation in the great abattoirs where beef cattle are slaughtered. The animal is drawn up by a pulley, head downward. A great congestion of blood to the head follows immediately. The animal becomes apparently dazed and unconscious, and in this stato 1 its throat is cut without a struggle.
