The sori-owing heart to cheer,
And turn to love the heart of guilc,
And check the falling tear?

Go Ahead.
Go ahead-and do not tarry,
Nought is gained by standing still;
What though you at times miscarry,
Let not fears your bosom flll.
. Search the causes of your errors,
Gather wisdom from the past,
To the wind give the terrors,
And you’ll get ahead at last.
Go abead—-in useful doings
Let your motto be “ I’ll try ;"
He who ever is despsring,
Bankrupt hearts and hopes are nigh.
What though you and wealth be strangers-
Onwsrd, upward be your aim,
And those real or fancied dangers,
Soon yon’ll put to flight or shame.
Go ahead—-the world reforming, ,
In civil, moral, freedom’s name,
All those forts andoutposts storming,
Which your enemies may claim.
Yield no bulwark, take no quarter,
Compromise no cherished right,
Freodomii treasure never barter,
But stand for them with all your might
. Go ahead. theu—do_u’t defer it,
Life’s short span soon flits away;
If you’d finish ought of merit,‘
You must ply your task to-day.
Set the ball in instant motion;
To keep it going strain each nerve,
Nor doubt that ultimate promotion
Will yield the lsurels you deserve.
The Home of the Poor.
sir MARTIN r. rurrsiz.
The hall of the rich have been famous in song.»
Ever since flattery fswned upon wealth :
Feigning, to palaces only belong, '
Honor and virtue, contentment and health;
But the glad tidings from Heaven to earth
Tell of true wealth in Humility’s store ; V
Jewels of purity, patience and worth,
Blest above gold in the homes of the poor.
Yes, the well f'avor’d in fortune and rank,
Wisely will cover such riches untold,
While the good giver they heartily thank
For the. talents of honor and gold ;
W°sely such jewels of price will they seek,
Cherishing good as the real Koh-i-noor,
And from the diligent, modest and meek,
Learn to be rich in the home of the poor.
Yet are those homes overclouded with night,
Poverty’s_ sisters are Core and Disease ; '
And the hard wrestler in life’s uphill fight
Fsints in the battle, and dies by degrees !
Then let his neighbor stand forth in his strength,
Like the Samaritan, swift to procure
Comfort and balm for his struggles at length,
Pouring in peace on the homes of the poor.
Cleanliness, hcalthiness, water and light,
Rent with reason, and temperate rules,
Work and fair wages, (Humanity’s right,)
Libraries, hospitals, churches, and schools-
Thus let us help the good brother in need,
Dropping a treasure at industry’s door,
Glad by God’s favor to lighten indeed
The burdens of life in the homes of the poor.
Oh! there is much to be done, and that soon ;
Classes are standing asunder, nloof ;
Hasten, Benevolence, with the free-born,
Falling as sunshine on Misery’s roof,
Hasten, good stewards of a bountiful Lord,
Greatly to imitate him ever more,
Binding together in blessed accord,
The halls of the rich in the homes oftlie poor.

The Wheat Growing States.-The
five North-western States, Ohio, Indi-

may be considered as our great grain-
growing territory. Independent of these
States, the United States would have no
surplus grain for export. Out of the
120,000,000 bushels of wheat raised in
the United States, these five States fur-
nish 55,000,000, and 1 90,000,000 bush-
els of corn out of 600,000,000 Ohio
alone, raises more wheat than twenty
other States combined, whose names
could be mentioned; and more ‘Indian
corn than thirteen States combined. In
1850, the plowed lands of Ohio amoun-

A Physicinms Story.--Treating
a case actively.
I was sent for in great haste to attend
a gentleman of respectability, who had
been discovered in his room lying sense-
less on the floor. On arriving at the
house Ifonnd Mrs. H-——-— in great
distress of mind.
"‘Wbat is the matter with Mr. H-—-
I asked, on ‘meeting his lady, who was
in tears, and looking the picture of dis-
tress. “I'm afraid it is apoplexy,” she
replied, “ lfound him lying upon the
floor, where he had, to all appearances,
fallen suddenly from his chair. His face
is purple. and though he breathes, it is
with great difficulty.” '
I went up to see my patient. He had
been lifted from the floor, and was now
face was purple and breathing labored ;
but somehow the symptoms did not indi-
cate apoplexy. Every vein in his head
and face was turgid. and he lay perfect-
ly stupid; but still I saw no clear indi
cations of any actual or approaching
congestion of the brain.
" H:idn’t he better be bled, doctor?”
asked the nmiious wife. “ I don't know
that it’s necessary,” I replied. “ I think
if we let him alone it will pass off in the
course of a few hours.” " A few hours
—lie may die in half an hour.” “ I dont
think the case is so dangerous, madam.”
" Apoplexy not dangerous 9” “ I hard-
ly think it. is apoplexy.” “ Pray what.
do you think it is, doctor?”
Mrs. H looked anxiously in-
to my face. I delicately hinted that it
might possibly have been drinking too
much brandy; but to this she indignant-
ly objected. “Depend upon it the dis-
ease is more deeply seated. I am sure
be had better be bled. Won’; you bleed
him, doctor? A few ounces of blood
taken from his arm may give life to the
now stagnant circulation of the blood.”
Thus urged, I, after some reflection,
ordered a bowl and bandage, and open-
ing a vein relieved him of about eight
ounces of blood. But he lay as insen-
distrcss of
his poor wife. "Something else must
be done, doctor,” she urged, seeing that
the bleeding had accomplished nothino.
" If my husband is not relieved quickly
he must die.”
By this time several relatives, and
friends who had been sent for, arrived,
active means of restoring the sick man
to consciousness. One proposed mustard
plasters all over his body; another a
blister on the head, and a third, his ini-
mersion in hot water. I suggested that
it might be well to use a stomach pump.
-- Why, doctor,” asked one of his friends
"Perhaps helias taken some drug,” I
replied. “ Impossible, doctor," said the
wife, " he has not been from home to
day, and there is no drug in the house.”
I ventured this sugges-
tion again “No, doctor, no spirits of

I was not the regular family physician
and had been called in to meet the alar-
ming emergency, because my office ha p-
pened to be the nearest to the dwelling
of Mr. H Feeliiig my position
to be a difficult. one, I suggested that the
family physician had better be called.-
“ But the delay, doctor,” urged the
friends. “ No harm will result. from it,
be assured," I replied. But my words
did not assure them. However, as I
was firm in my resolution not to do any-
thing more for the patient until Dr. S.
came, they had to submit.
I wished to make a call of importance
in the neighborhood, and proposed going
to be back by the time Dr. S. arrived;
but the friends of the sick man would
not stiffer me to leave the room.
When Dr. S. came we’ converged

had done,'a'id why I had done it. We
then proceeded to the bedside of our pa-
‘-3903; there were still no signs of ap-
proaching consciousness. " Dun’: you
think his head must be shaved and blis-
tered '3” asked the wife niixiously. Dr.
S. thought a moment and then said.
“Yes, by all means; send for a barber,
and also for a fresh fly blister, four incli-
es by nine.”
I looked into the face of Dr. S with
surprise; it was perfectly grave and
earnest. I hinted to him my doubt of
the good that mode of treatment would
sult, and said that it would not only cure
the disease, but he believed take away
the predisposition thereto, with which
and urged upon me the adoption of some -
upon which the sick man lay ; but tho’
the blister began to draw, no signs of re-
turning consciousness showed them-
selves, f urtber than an occasional low
moan or an uneasy tossing of the arms.
For full two hours the burning plaster
parched the tender skin of H.’s shorn
head, and was then removed ; it had
done good service. Dressings were ap-
plied, repeated and repeated again, but
still the sick man lay in a stupor. “ It
has done no good ! hadn't we better send
for the doctor?" suggested the wife.
Just then the eyes of H Opened.
and he looked with half stupid surprise
from? face to face of the anxious -group
that surrounded the bed. "What in the
mischief is the matter?” he at length
said. At the same time, feeling a
strange sensation about his head, he
placed his hand ratherheavily thereon.
*‘ Heavens and earth !" (he was now ful-
ly in his senses.) . " Heavens and earth,
what ails my head 'l’’ ‘‘ For mercy’s
sake, keep quiet," said the wife, the glad
tears‘ gushing over her face. “You
have been very ill; there, there now!’
and she spoke soothingly, “ _don’t_ say a
word but lie very still." " But my head

quiet, my dear husband, and I'll explain
all. Oh, be very quiet, your life depends
upon it.”
Mr. H sank back upon the pillow
from which he had risen, and closed his
eyes to think. He put his hand to his
head and felt it tenderly all over, from
temple to temple, and from nape to fare-
head. “ Is it a blister '3” he at length
asked. “ Yes dear; you have been very
ill; we feared for your life,” said Mrs.
H , affectionately : " there have been
two physicians in attendance.” I_l

"I found you lviiig insensible upon the
floor, on happening to come into your
room. It was most providential that I
discovered you when I did, or you cer-
tainly would have died."
H shut his eyes and muttered
something with an air of impatience;
but its meaning was not understood,-'-
Finding him out of danger, friends and
rezatives retired, and the sick man was
left alone with his family. _
“ Sarah,” he‘ said, “ why in the name
of goodness did you permit the doctors
to butcher me up in this way? I’m laid
up for a week or two, and all for noth-
ing.”
“It was to save your life, dear.”
" Save the devil.”
“ H-u-s-h ! there, do for mercy’s sake
be quiet ; everything depends on it.”
\Vith a gesture of impatience, H
shut his eyes, teeth and hands, and lay
perfectly still for some minutes. Then
turned his face tothe wall, mutteringin
a low petulant voice, “ too bad ! too

were grieved and mortified at this: and
they, by admonition, and he, by good
resolutions, tried to bring about a reform
but to see was to taste. and to taste was
to fall. At last his friends urged him to
shut himself at home for a certain time,
and see if total abstinence would not
give him strength. He got on pretty
well for a few days, particularly so, as
his coacbman kept a well filled bottle
for him in the carriage house, to which
he not unfrequently resorted; but a too
ardent devotion to this bottle brought on
the supposed apoplexy. Dr. S. was
right in his mode of treating the disease
after all, and did not err in supposing
that it would reach the I pre-disposition.

Many years ago, having occasion to
visit the State of Arkansas—then much
more of a Wilderness than it is at pre.-ent
for the purpose of inspecting and survey-
ing some waste land that had fallen -.0
me through the death of a relative who
had bestowed it upon him as a mark of
favor for services rendered to the govern-
ment, during the war of 1812-'14, I put
up at a way side house kept by a man
who united the occupations of tavern-
keeper and plamei'—tbat is to say, who
gave lodging, such as it was, and food,
such as could be obtained, to the wayfa-
ring travelers in this remote district, for a
remuneration that should--had it been
measured by that usually paid in more
cultivated States—have supplied both
lodging and food of much better condi-
tion and quality. , , I

" Have you any other lodging: in the
house at present?” I asked, after hav-
ing listened patiently to the landlord’: ex-
planation of the state of his affairs and his
future prospects.
" There's a man and woman up stairs
sleeping, in the next room that you will
occupy," said he, -‘ and tbey’ve got a
child with them, who’s sick, and as I take
it, aint long for this world. They’ve
been a stoppinf here since yesterday, and
when the weather clears up, they are
going West—to settle on some land they
have bought out there; but they take on
sadly about the child,” and seldom leave
their room. Going VVest'.”’ I men-
tally ejaculated. Good heavens! are
they not sufficiently far to the westward
at present. However, further conversa-
tion was iuterrupted in a very pleasant
manner to me, by the entrance of the
daughter of the house, with the promis-
ed provender which had taken as long to
cock as an elaborate dinner ought to have
done.
" Hunger needs no" sauce," says the
old proverb, and rude as was the food set
before me, Idid it amplejustice, and hav-
ing dispatched my meal, I asked to be
shown to my sleeping apartment. It was
a rude chamber, which had to be reached
by a ladder, and the furniture of which
consisted only of a bedstead made of a
roughly hewii logs and a couple of chairs
and a tableof the same materials. There
was but oi:e narrow window to the
apartment, but the light and air came; in
freely— rather too freely for the comfort.
and convenience of its occupants, I tho’t,
through the many crevices and chinks
that were open to the wind and rain.-
However, I was weary enough, and
therefore speedily divested myself of my
clothing, I threw myself on the rude bed
and in a few moments sunk into a pro-
found slumber from which I was awa-
kened towards dayligbt by voices in the
adjoining apartment, which I had been
informed were occupied by the travellers.
The first sound that reached me was
like the wail of a woi'nan—low and shrill
as though the expression of grief were
bursting from a heart overflowing with
mental agony. 'l‘he sound wassingular-
ly at variance with the soothing sound of
the rain, which still fell heavily, and the
dreary sigh of the wind, which had ris.
en during the night, and now moaned
without and whistled and shrieked
through every cranny of the rude, ill con'
structed dwelling.
‘For some time, I lay half unconscious
whether the sounds that I ha?! heard had
not been suggested to my dreaming fan-
cy by the combined noises of the storm ;
but while I was turning myself over to
finish my yet unsatisfied slumber, I heard
distinctly the words, in tones of such
acute anguish that I shall never forget
them !
“Oh! Edward! is not this dreadful!
I cannot endure the light; my poor dear
suffering boy. Why did we come hith-
ei'—no help at hand, no doctor near, my
darling little child must die, and I shall
feel as though 1 had a band in his death.
Edward, we should not have come here.”
“ Hush! dear Mary, hush !” said an-
other voice—the husky voice of a man
who was eudeavoring to suppress emo-
tions which almost choked his utterance;
“ The child has been dying, gradually and
slowly, but none the less surely dying,
for many days past; ever since he had
the fever at Cincinnati. The doctor cur-
ed the fever then, but he could not re_
store the constitution of the child. I
doubt if auglit of human skill could save
him, Mary! He has been a feeble infant
from his birth, and consumption would
at all events, before many years, have ta.
ken him from us, even had \ve remained
at home.”
*‘ Feeble indeed, poor boy replied
the female, " but only so much the dear-
er to the lieart of his mother. Oh Ed.
ward! if a doctor could only see him, ev.
en now, though he died, I should feel bet-
ter satisfied—I should have a load of
grief taken off my mind.”

“ Oh, Edward,” answered the female,
"do not speak thus. I am your wife, and’
love and duty would both bid me, had I
again to choose, to share your weal or
xvoe; but your well meant sophistry can
never bring comfort to the heart of a
mother. She cannot be led to believe
that God is just in tearing her first born
from her.
" Silence, M: ry,” said the man, in a
tone of mingle-". tenderness and severe
reproval-—" this is blasphemy -What.
God has given no has the right to take

“ Why, then, lid he give’! Oh, this
is dreadful. Se ; those convulsions-—my
poor, poor darlii g.”.
I had heard e iough to warrant my in-
trusion, and I ha stily sprung from my bed.
and dressing in yself, I knocked at the
door of the room occupied by the sorrow-
iiig parents, and us I suspected—the dy.
iug child. ,
“ Come in!” said thedeep toned voice
of the man, and I entered.
Upon a rude couch was stretched a
beautiful boyof perhaps five years of age
but his handsome, regular features were
distorted by violent convulsions, and his
fragile form was attenuated to a frightful
degree. _
“I am a fellow lodger,”.I said,apologet-
ically, “and by chance I have heard. for
I slept in an a-ljoining room, your lamen-
tzitions over your child. I am a physi-
c’zin, and what aid I can give you is at
y-illl.‘ service. I trust thstthis explana-
tion will 8XC1‘S8 my intrusion.”
"Can you save my child? my, little
Charley? Oh ! sir, ‘if. you can gave my
child, a mother’s blessing will forever at-
tend you,” almost shrieked the mother,
as I gave my cxplanation.__ ,~
The father too, looked at me appeal-
ingly, but shook his head mournfully and
spoke not. .1e wished, but did not dare
to hope. at a glance saw that the boy
w is in the last stagcof consumption, and
thit the con‘ .llSl0n8 under which he was
su fering were the prelude of death.
It were cruelly, I thought, to hold out
he oes which could not be realized, and I
to.d the sorrowing father and mother
th-.1: indeed all earthly skill were vain;
that soon the object of their earthly idol-
atry would be an angel in heaven. Ev-
en as I spoke, the infant was seizedwith
stronger convulsions, and with one pow-
erful spasmodic throb which thrilled
through every nerve, he half-raised his
feeble frame from the bed, fell back with
a gurgling sound in his throat, stretched
his little limbs to their full length and ex-
pired. '
The screams of the mother were dread-
ful to listen to, .lS she pressed the now
inanimate form to her bosom, as though
she would warn. it with fresh life. She
smothered the 1 xle lips and brow of the
dead infant witl kisses, and then. .wept
tears of agony 1 ,-ion his face.’
Scarcely less painful to witness was
the silent grief of the father; but he
roused himself f om the stupor into which
he had inomcrtarily been thrown and
sought with gentle words to soothe and
calm his wife, -initially succeeded. He
then approached the bed where the dead
body of the child lay, and stooping and
gently kissing his brow and lids,, he laid
the sheet over the body and exclaimed,
“ Not my will but Thine be done.”
For my part, I tlioughtlwas inn man-_
nei committing sacarilege by intruding
upon such grief, and I left the room.
Towards noon the rain clouds swept
away by the wind, had entirely disap-
peared, and Nature resumed her Spring
loveliness even in this desolate wilder-

There was nothing to invite one to re-
nvain in this hotel, and I and _ the other
guests of the inhospitable inn left the.
house. The grief of the mother was now

pi-rsuaded his wife to accompany him to

which in more prosperous days, they
had little heeded, and which, indeed, had
never been visited by him, and still re-
mained a perfect wilderness. He hoped
that here, in a new way of life, better
