80 GOES THE WOULD.
When I wear the cap and bells,
Many friends have I;
Unto careless, merry hearts,
Merry hearts reply,
Just as this earth of ours
Dimples in a hundred flowers,
When above, in summer's hours,
Laughs a summer sky.
When Grief bides with me, alas!
Not a friend have [;
Sad hearts meet on every side
With a cold "Good.hy,"
Just as this earth of ours
Parts with all the drooping flower.,
When above in autumn hours,
Glooms a sombre sky.
A MAdICIAN'S WAND.
"Whati" cried Mrs. Morwatt, in
shrill accents of dismay. "Marry Bess
Harding. Why Joshua, you ain't never
In earnest, be you?"
Joshua Morwatt's broad, good-humor
ed face brightened into a smile.
"Well, I rather think I am," said be.
"At any rate I am engaged to her, and
we have set the day for the 80th of May.
"Without asking me?"
"You are not 6ne of the contracting
parties," laughingly retorted Joshua:
"But seriously, mother dear, it was
only definitely settled last night, and I
was coming to tell you when you met
me half way, with the milk-pail in your
hand."
Mrs. Morwatt screwed up her lips
like a button; her little eyes sparkled
like electric fire.
"She shall never come into this
housel" said she venomously.
"Mother, don't," pleaded Joshua,
with a pained look in his honest face.
"Remember when you and father were
young."
"&But your father had a little common
sense," sharply retorted Mrs. Morwatt,
"and I was a hard working farmer's
daughter-not one of your dancing,
frolicking gypsies who spend their whole
time in candy pulls and apron parties,
and all that sort of nonsense."
"And you will find, mother," urged
the young man, "that Bess will be just
as good a wife as you were."
"Pshaw1" was Mrs. Morwatt's curt
rejoinder. "When you know perfectly
well that it was the dearest wish of my
heart to see you married to your cousin,
Nancy Simpson."
Joshua Simpson shook his head.
"Nancy never would suit me," he
said. "She is one of these cold, serpent
like women that go gliding about like
the ghost in the play. And I'm not
vain enough to suppose that I corrbspond
wit her ideas any more than she does
with mine."
"Well," said Mrs. Morwatt, severely,
"you've made you bed and you must lie
oil it, Joshua. That's all I've got to
say on the subject."
"But you will come and see her,
mother?"
"No, I won't!"
"You will welcome her to adaughter'
place in your heart? For my sake,
motherI" vehemently ;*aded Joshua.
"For nobody's sake," said Mrs. Mor
watt. "I don't lixe Bess Ilarding, and
I never liked her! And If you marry
her, you deliberately separate yourself
from all your home associations!"
Joshuai Morwatt turned away, deeply
pained and stung to the very heart.
"It must be as you say, mother," said
he "B~ut if there is an estrangement. it
shall be neither Bess' fault'nior mine."
Mrs Morwatt kept her word. She
niever looked upon Bess Harding,
although the girl, deeply wounded at
the Idea of thus being shut out from the
heart of Joshua's mother, came more
than once to beg admittance to the house.
She sent. no message of affection, no
bridal gift-sihe wvouldl not eveni lead the
grace of her presence to the simple
weddling. "They shall see what it
mneans to offend mnot" said she, with a
Qluet vindictivenets. But preitty Boss,
a girl of twenty, with soft, gazelle-like
brown eyo.', curly hair, and a genuine
"sun -rise pink"' complexion, was
innocently happy ini the little farm
hiouse which Joshua hired, where she
played housekeeping, with her china
which had once been her mother's,
gathered roses for vases, and cooked all
manner of dlelIcious dishes for h'er
hiusband 's delecation.
Bunt hard times camne, skeleton like
and~ ghostly, as they camne to all. The
succedhinug summer was unusually dry.
Crops were parched and shriveled In the
groiunid. TIhe cows ceasedl to give rich
streamns milk; the bees could find no
wild flowers to suck honey from. And,
to crown alil, Joshua fell from a beam in
the second story of the barn and broke
his leg.
"Send for my mother," said he, with
white lips which betokened his suppress
ed agony. "You are r.ot strong enough,
Bess, to endure this yourself."
Mr.Morwatt, however, refused to
"My on mrrie to uithimrelf,"
hesaid "now let his tIne lady wife
nurse him tip."
fYet all the while her heart yearned
tur one look at her son's face, one
sound of his voice. If it had not been
for BesS-if only it had not been for
hess--how gladly would she have
hastened to hisa side!
And now ensued real trouble. The
little money which the~ young couple
had saved was soon scattered. Every
tkhxrr went. at loose en. a., -n-s
began to count the very pennies At the
bottom of her purse.
"But, Joshua," she said, "I thought
Mrs. Morwatt was rich."
"My mother is well' off," Joshua
answered sadly, "but the property is aN
in her own name, and she has never
offered me any of it. Can't you see,
Bess, darling, that I would rather die
than ask for it?"
Bess looked at him with troubled
eyes.
"What shall I do?" she asked herself.
"Can I sit here and see him suffer for
the very necessities of life?"
Just at that time came a letter to her
-a letter from a city friend who had
spent a summer in Blooming Vale.
"Darling Bess." wrote Mrs. Germyn,
"Don't be amazed at what I am going
to ask you. But I am to have a Christ
mas party for my little girls-and I do
so long for some of those cream candies,
and sugared nuts, delicious chocalate
caramels that you used to make when
we boarded with your aunt at Blooming
Vale. I enclose a ten dollar bil.
Please send the 'goodies' by express,
just as soon as you can possibly make
them, and oblige everlastingly.
Your friend.
"61A UnA."
The joyful tears came into Bess Mor
watt's tyes as she sat looking at the
crisp bil neatly folded into the letter.
it was not only a ten dollars greenback
-it represented health and ease for
Joshua -it seemed to open to her the
gates of escape from all the petty
tortures of this poverty-stricken lire."
"Why have I never thought of it
before?" she questioned herself.
She made baste to prepare the
caramels, the dainty cream bars, -the
walnuts enclosed in a crystal garment of
translucent sweetness, and with them
she enclosed the lettter, begging Mrs.
Dare to open an agency for her with one
of the prominent confectioners of New
York. And then she ordereded a barrel
of sugar, all manner of dainties and
flavors, and went up to the garret and
cracked all the butter nuts and hickory
nuts which were leftVfrom the' last
autumn's store.
"To be sure, it is only an experiment,"
she thought. . "But I hope-I behevi
it may succeed. The doctor says that
Joshua will not be strong enough to go
out doors until spring. Our expenses
are continually draining its, and there in
nothing coming in. Oh, it must suc
ceedl"
"It did succeed. Mrs. Morwatt's
delicate home confections, in yretty
hand painted boxes tied witi, colored
ibbons, became the fashi"- Every
body asked for thiem-evdybody bought
them.
Bess was obli;d to hire assistants
and transfer ier working quarters to
the old Ubtased wing of the house.
Money ;ame in with a promptness and
stoay flow which seemed to the young
wvife almost a Golconda. There was no
lack of good refreshing fruit, and
strengthening food for the invalid.
The farm-house was new, needful
machinery was ordered for farm
purposes, new furniture came in, and
Bess even Indulged in the--to her un
heard of--luxury of a black silk dress.
"Bess, you're a good fairy," said
Joshua exultantly, "a regular ehan
tress!"
But one (day B ss carre in with a
sober face.
"What's the matter?" asked Joshua.
"Has our new banK failed? Ia the
maple candy scorched? Or has the
kitten tumbled into tire kettle of boil
ing chocolate?"
"Oh, Joshua, dlon't jest," said Bess.
"It's your mother! She has invested
everything in the new rsilroad that was
to be cut thrrorugh Walton's Pass--anid
its a failure A gigantic swindler The
stockholders are men of straw, the
p~resident has gone to Japan, arid all
w~ho invested ini the concern are ruinied
totally!"
Joshua grew pale. "What are we to
do?" said lie.
"There is but one thing to do," Bess
answered; "we must go to her. We
must bring her here. Our homne must
henceforth be her home."
"Bess," cried Joshua, in a husky
voice, "you are anr angel."
"Shre Is your mother, Joshiua," said
Bess, gently, "and being yours she is
mine."
Mrs. Morwatt half stunned by thre
suddenness of tire blow which had
robbed her of her all, scarcely knew,
where she was when shre found hersel f
sitting in a big arm-chair by the fire in
tihe farmhouse parlor, with her hand in
Joshua's, while Boss tenderly removed.
her bonnet and shawl.
"But.[ have nio right to be here," she
said, piteously. "I refuLsed to recognize
your wife-i have withheld from you
your birthright, and squandered it
away. Why donr't you take me where I
belong-to the poorhouse?"
"Mother, don't talk so," pleaded
Joshua. "Here's where you belong
uow arid hnenrceforwvardil Here, by our
heartlistone."
"You are my mother now," sof~y
whispered Bess, and the touch of her
oft lips on the old woman's withered
oheek loosened tire floodgate of her tears
-the ,blessed tears that wash awaj all
bitterness and pain.
"And you," sbe sobbed, "are my
daughter!"
And therefore the three were bliss.
Llly happy togethe, e..n thugh the
new railway shares were so much wqato
paper. Joshua managed the farm, Bess
kept up the confectionery branch of
of the business, and Mrs. Morwatt did
the housework.
But she someties looks at Bess and
says, with tears in her eyes:
"What would have become of s,
darling, if it wasn't for you.

" said the old physiian,'
was In an iane asylum for many
years.",
"As a patient?"
"Welt, hardty, though I confess con
stant association with insane people
nearly set me crazy. I really believe' I
should have lost my balance if I had
remained there. I should eithlir
have become insane or turned out a
poet."
"I have a patient now who was just on
the verge of 'tobacco insanity,' as it is
sometimes called, a few weeks ago.
lie came to me about the middle of Oc

Ing insane; that he had some of the
most horrible and frightful thoughtb

sometime do something terrible -if 'he
were not cured of them. lie was a
pale, nervous man with large round
eyes, and altogether a very intellectual
looking face. He looked like a close
student. I asked him if he had not
been studying too hard, and he said he
had once thought so and had quit all
study for several weeks, but fonnd him
self growing worse each day. He 4aid
lie could not get rid of an awful feeling
that something terrible was going to

said lie, 'My room is on the fourth
floor, and I dare not ait by the window
nor look out at it, for fear that I will
yield to the awful impulse to jump out.
And the horrible things thatome to my
mind-oh, they will surely drive me
crazy and I shall do some awful thing
ove of these daysi'
"Then he told me how he saw things
double, and sometimes saw himself
coining toward himself with a big
knife. 'Why,' said he, I was walking
home the other night, and, although I
could see no one, I - felt a man
coming toward me. I thought him
away off, several miles, but that he wus
coming toward me rapidly. - Ai this
time I knew nobody was comng, yet I
cou'd feel him, and was ov sure in my
imagination that I soou should see him,
as L wias in my rpsvn that I should
uot. The feeo-Ag -grew in spite of
me. I trio o fght it off with my
rcason. but the imagination was . the
stronger, and with the nevek-ceas
ir. impression that something ter
rbie was about to happen, I stopped
under a street lamp, and sure enough
right there before me stood an exact
counterpart of myself. I knew I
couldn't run away from it. Indeed, I
know there was nothing there to run
away from, yet I could see it, and feel
its presence. Finally I shut my eyes a
moment, and when I opened them again
the apparition was gone, and I waLked
on home.'
"Oh, he told me a long rigmarole of
this sort; said he often waked in the
night and saw himself lying dead in bed
beside himself; that lie had, not less
than a hundred times, been almost
tempted to kill his little sister just for
the sake of seeing how she would look,
that lie had wondered how it would
feel to be stabbed through tio heart
and had, one night, gotten out of bed
and threw his pocket-knife out of the
wvindow for fear he could not resist the
temptationi to use it."
"What did you do for him, doctor?"
"Well, to tell the truth, 1 never
thought of tobacco until lie Look out a
cigar and lit it. He seemed very ner
vous before that, but the cigar seemed
to calm him, and he was qiuite jolly for
a time. Then I thought of tobacco in
sanity, andl made up my mind that lie
was about to have delerium tremens.
Carefully I questioned him and found
that lie smoked from a dozen to twenty
cigars a day, and, as he put it, "They're
about the only thing that do me any
good'
"'ihe cure was yery simple. I shut.
limi up and took tobacco izway from
himn gradually until lhe got through a
day with three cigars and felt so much
better that he was convinced his whole
trouble wvas all due to smoking, and, of
his own accord, hie resolved to quit It
entirely. Of course I gave him some
nerve tonic and built lip his.genierai
health, which. helped him in his good
resolution."

No branch of science has been more
thoroughly .mastered than optics. 'T'he
principle of vision must be essentially
the same in all eyes, but they differ
remarkably acdordmg, to the habits of
the animal. Birds ot lofty flight, as
the cohdor, eagle, vultures, and carrion
seeking prowlers of thle feathered race,
have telescopic visions, and thus they
are eniabled to look down and discover
their lunsuspecting victims. As they
approach noiselessly from above, the
axis of vision chianges-shorteninug, so
that they can see ditinctly within one
foot of the ground as when at an eleva

Hot. Water.
0
Bathing as a remedial agent is no c
new thing. Hippocrates, who lived t
300 years before Christ, understood the
value of the bath both in health and
sichkness; Caesar Augustus had his
Lydropathtc physician, and Galen, whot
lourished~in the second century 'after j
Dh rist, was well acquainted with the
worth of water as an external means
of removing disease and promoting
liealth. But internal bathing is some.
thing new; and for the benefit of some s
of ouri readers who ask about the "hot a
water cure," we condense an article e
which recently appeared in the Lances, a,
and which is from the pen of a physic' t
an of this city.]
In 1858 Dr. Salisbury cenludedl e
a series of experiments on feeding main la
and anima's to ascertain the relations of
rood as a cause and cure of disease,
Hie found that the fermentations of
Iood, and tne products of thesa far
mentations, were the chief primfiry -h
factors in producing the diseases which i.
ar' e; rosa ,uilheithy , alimepation. C
&fdoh' the disads he -lheludes~ con- a
mumption, Bright's disease, diabetes, s
With the idea of removmng these dis- p
eases by i emoving the causes, he em- y
ployed at first cold and afterwa'rds hot t
water to wash out the various acids and t1
fermentations from the stomach and 11
bowels. Cold wateor cAused distress, a
pain and~ colio, lukewarm water caused si
iiekner. of the stomach and peristals ai
upward. Thie temperatur e was increased. c
110 deg, and. 150 deg, with thehappiest a
effects. The hot waler excites normah I
rlownward porirtalsis of tlie alimentary t
manal, washes out the liver and kidtieys, t
and the bile Is eliminated through the a
bowels, and not through the blood via
the kidneys.
The daily use of the urinemotor dhe. r
termins the quantity of hot water need- t
id. The specific gravity of healthy t
urine varies from 1.015 to 1.025. The d
falitog below this number would indi- r;
