From the Conner-Journal. "IF WA1LLS HAD EARS." Oh, if thej- had, and then would speak, How blessed it would be! I would not any knowledge seek That was no: meant for me; < >nly to hear again the words ^ That I have heard before, The treasured utterance of one Who speaks on earth no more. These walls ha^c seen the dearest face That smiles have ever blest; These walls ha re heard the sweetest voice That sound has e'er carest. They've heard it call me o'er and o'er By many a te nder name: Oh, if they might repeat them now, With voice and tone the same! I silent sit for many an hour, And joy to be alone, I do not care for passing friends, Since I must ::niss mine own. The seat she chose, the lounge she prest. Are silent friends to me. I could not have a dearer guest Thr u her sweet memory. So many things within this room Her touch has rendered dear, They seem like precious charms to keep My darling always near. I press on them the loving kiss net warm, soft lips have met; No joy is left to me like this, Though mingled with regret. 1 listen for the welcome step That dear, familiar sound;. And every spot it ever touched To me is sacred ground. Ah, me! how long the wean* hours That prove my waiting vain ! The voice is stili; the ''vanished hand" Will ne'er clasp mine again. Oh. speak, ye walls ! Repeat the love She whispered long ago ! Grant me that comfort, lest my heart Break with its weight of woe. My empty anus?my barren life? My bitter, useless tears! Oh ! help me to forget them all, With tales of bvgone vears. NEMO. Fashionable Blood-Driukcrs. I have read occasional scraps in the press, and listened to conversations in private circles of remarkable cures hav? ing been effected by means of the trans? fusion of blood from the veins of heal? thy persons or animals to those of patients dying from consumption, or for the want or the life-giving fluid, but have never paid any attention to it, and left it for the doctors to cogitate upon. Yet with? in a few days the subject was presented to mc in such a form that I could no lon? ger ignore it. I was making an exami? nation of a number of the leading slaughter-houses of the city, with a view of learning how ucarly a million and a half of population are fed on animal food, when I observed private carriages draw up on Second avenue, in the neigh? borhood of East Forty-seventh stree, and from them ladies alight whose dress and manner too plainly assured me they were members of the bon ton. Some of them were accompanied by delicately formed children, and others had gentle? men escorts. "What can bring these la? dies into this district, filled with rough and uncouth butchers and fat-boilers ?" I naturally risked myself. I had not long to wonder, as I followed a bevy of beau? ties into the slaughter-house of Henry Eisner, corner of Second avenue and Forth-sevenr.h, and, halting at the door saw them extend little silver cups un? der the necks of the suspended animals, and, filling them with fresh warm blood, drink it with the avidity a hungry child shows when a glass of milk or cream is given to it. As the men cut the throats of the bellowing beeves these ladies, reared in the lap of luxury, would, with? out any outward sign of fear, either col? lect the blood themselves or stand by while the butchers did it for them. Some drank of it but sparingly, while others passed the cup for a second draught. These were the blood-drinkers of Gotham, of whom I had heard traditions, but who, until then, I had supposed existed only in the imagination of the city Bo? hemian who exercises his inventive genius to""earn a few dollars per week to pay his washer woman and keep soul and body together. One thing struck me as singular?that of some fifteen persons who entered the slaughter-houses in the half hour I was there only the females partook of the red draught. A few re? mained in their carriages and had the blood carried out in silver cups or glasses from which they partook. I ventured to ask one lady why she drank of the blood, when she replied: "On the recommendation of my physi? cian. I am suffering from a lung affec? tion that he reports is likely to result in consumption, and he says this is the only certainty of recover}-?that I must par? take of it freely." "And how long, madam, have you fol? lowed this singular treatment?" I asked. "For nearly four months. At first my stomach rebelled at the sight and taste of it, and I could only barely taste it; but I remembered that we ate blood iu our beefsteaks and roasts, and I grad? ually became resigned to it, until now I can drink a quart." "How often do you come here V was the next question. "Well, not at any regular time. I usually conic every Friday, which is the principal day for cattle-killing. Others do not drink the blood ot cattle, but pre? fer that of lambs." "And do you find that your health is improving t "0, yes, sir, rapidly. When I first be? gan the treatment I was very much re? duced ; was pale, weak and emaciated, so that it was with difficulty I could get out to the carriage. I weighed but nine? ty-six pounds." Now, as you will see, I have considerable color in my face. I feel quite strong, and I weigh one hun? dred and fourteen pounds?quite a gain, you will say, in four months. My phy? sician expresses the hope that, if I per? severe a month or two more, a complete cure will have been experienced. The difficulty about it is the annoyance of coming here where we arc exposed to the gaze of these rough men and children of the tenement-houses .around us, who crowd into the doors and look at us with as much astonishment as if we were cir jam J^r- In a street parade. It is not "" pleasant for ladies, but we must come here, as the blood must be drank fresh from the veins before coagulation takes place." This matter of a blood cure has natu? rally excited my curiosity, and having made diligent inquiry among my medical acquaintances, I have discovered some well verified cases where animal blood has been used to sustain and restore life, which will not only interest your medical readers, but all persons interested in scien? tific subjects. A Lively Experiment.?A Cincin? nati gentleman has recently proved his devotion to science by allowing himself to be stung by twenty-one consecutive bees. He took his sting at the rate of one dose per day, and after the tenth sting he felt no "pain whatever from the remaining eleven in which he subse? quently indulged. We therefore learn from his self-sacrificing labors the touch? ing lesson that to be stung by a bee once a day for ten consecutive days renders one proof against additional stinging.? Anybody can try it. ? A man in an American settlement, who has been an inveterate smoker for twenty years, has suddenly and perma itly given up the practice. He " jd the ashes out of his pipe into a jting powder. occasionally kiss the mistake. But when he the right woman what bothers A Suicidal Epidemic. A recent number of Chambers' Jon. :al gives an entertaining article, on suicides, front which we copy: "Sometimes," says the writer, "a person determined to destroy himself will wait months and years for an opportunity of executing the deed in the particular man? ner he has marked out for himself, and the very inclination to suicide may be removeel by withdrawing the particular objects that would awaken the idea.? Thus a man who has tried to drown him? self will be under no temptation to cut his throa:. Example, it is well known, is a powei ful cause of excitement to the suicidal act. We were once told by a physician that a hypochondriacal patient used to visit him invariably the day after reading the report of a suicide in the daily papers, possessed by a morbid fear [ of imitating the act of which he read.? Sir Charles Bell, surgeon of Middlesex Hospital,, was one day describing, to a barber who was shaving him, a patient's unsuccessful attempt to cut his own throat, and, on the barber's request, pointed out the anatomy of the neck, showing how easily the deed might be accomplished. Before shaving operations were completed, the barber had left his shop and cut his own throat according to Sir Charles Bell's exact instructions.? Sometimes there is an epidemic of sui? cides, as at Versailles, in 1793, when out of a small population 1,300 persons de? stroyed themselves in one year; or as in the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, when six of the inmates hanged themselves on a certain crossbar within a month. Very often the disease is hereditary, and at a certain age the members of one family will all in turn evince the suicidal tenden? cy, while even children of very tender years have been known to end their own short lives by their own act, from force of example. * Curious, too, are the meth? ods of self-destruction, but they arc too painful to bear description. A French? man once attempted to ring his own death knell, by tying himself to the clap? per of the church bell, which thereupon began to swing, and alarmed the villagers by its unwonted tones. All cases of de? termined suicides are characteristic of confirmed insanity; whereas, in a case of impulsive insanty, the perpetrator will often regret tlj? act before it is completed and endeavor to save his life, as did Sir Samuel Romilly, thus demonstrating that the very attempt may effect the cure of the disordered brain. The months of March, June, and July are the favorites with men, September, November, and January for women, in which they vol-. untarily end their lives. In youth men hang themselves, in the prime of life use firearms, and, when old revert to hanging: Women usually prefer Ophelia's 'muddy death.' Poisoning is a method adopted by the very young of both sexes. We have the consoling reflection that, prevalent as brain disorder is in our country, at least eighty per cent of cases of insanity are curable if treated at an early stage; while it is to be noted that it is not pleas? urable, productive brain work that does the mischief, but ratiicr the mental strain which results from the high pressure of our artificial life. Better Thax Nothing.?A good old Methodist lady, very particular and very pious, once kept a boarding-house in Boston. Staunch to her principles, she would take no one to board who did not hold to the eternal punishment of a large portion of the race. But the peo? ple were more intent on carnal comforts than spiritual health, so that in time her house became empty, much to her grief and alarm. After some time a bluff old sea captain knocked at the door, and the old lady an? swered the call. "Servant, ma'am. Can you give me board for two or three days ? Got my ship here, and shall be off soon as I load." "Wa-al, I don't know," said the old ladv. "Oh, house full, eh?" "No, but?" "But what, ma'am ?" "I don't lake any unclean or carnal people in my house. What do von be? lieve?" "About what?" "Whv, do you believe that any one will be condemned ?" "Oh, thunder! yes." "Do you?" said the good woman, brightening up. "Well, how many souls do you think will be in fire eternally?" "Don't know, ma'am, really?never calculated that." "Can't you guess ?" "Can't say?perhaps fifty thousand." "Wa'al, hem!" mused the good wo? man : "I guess I'll take you; filly thou? sand is bettor than nothing." ? A whimsical comparison being made between a clock and a woman, Charles Fox observed that he thought the simile bad; "for," said he, "a clock serves to point out the hours, and a wo? man to make us forget them." ? "Will you please insert this obitua? ry notice ?" asked an old gentleman of a countryediior. "intakehold to ask it, because I know the deceased had a great many friends about here who'd be glad to hear of his death." LOWER TPIAN EVEB! AND STILL LOWES FOR CASH!
