Over the hill the farmuboy goes.
His shadow lengthens along the land,
A giant stalls a giant hand;
In the poplar-tree, above the spring,
The katydid begins to sing:
The early dews are filling,—
lato tbs stone-heapdarts the mink:
The "shows skim the river’s brink:
And home to the woodland fly the crows,
When ever, the hill the farm-boy goes,
Ubecril calling.—
"Co’, bo-Ieo'. bossi co’i co'! co'!"
Farther, farther over the hill, '
Saintly calling, culling still,—
“Co', boss! co', boss! co’i co'i”
1qu the yard the farmer goes.
With grateful heart at the close of day:
Harness andrebain are hung away;
In the wagon-shed stand yoke and plough:
The sirsw’s in the stack. the bay in the mow,

While still the cow-boy, far away,
Goes seeking those that have gone astray,—
“Co’pbossi co', boss! 00', 00’!"
Now to her task the miikmsid goes.
The cattle come crowding through the gate,
lowing, pushing. little and great;
About the trough, by the farm-yard pump,
The fiolicsome yearling's kick and lamp,
While the pleasant dcws are billing;—
The new-milch heifer is quick and shy,
But the old cow walls with tranquil eye;
And the white stream into the bright PI“ ‘01.".

It is rather a strange and humiliating fact
that our body is the abode of thousands up-
on thousands of ugly, unclean worms that
live and propagate in every organ and tis-
sue of our flame, not only after death, but
While it is yet alive. That such is the fact
has long since been made known by the in-
vestigations and labors of Physiologists both
in this and other countries, and it is now a
well established truth—at least among men
of science—that “ our mortal frame” is in-
fested and profsned by hideous living para-
.sites, that crawl on our surface, burrow be-
neath our skin, nestle in our entrails, run ri-
ot and propagate in every corner of our or;
gauization, producing at times such distur-
bances and molestation as to require the in-
terference of medicines.
What think you, reader, of this strange
and interesting reshty ? Did you, young la-
dy, ever imagine as you stood before the
mirror gazing in admiration 'ht your pretty
face, that coiled up in the flesh beneath the
“ charming” surface, lay myriads of these
vile and disgusting parasites ? .
Did you, young man, in your exquisite-
a'ess, ever appreciate the fact that at each
and every step you take, countless stinking
worms lay wriggling and twisting in your
precious'bogyl And yet that it is so, abun-
dance of truth may be brought forward to
testify.
Being convinced, then, of our corrupt com-
position, let us examine the curious and in-
teresting subject. \ And, first, astonishing as
it may seem to th( se who are unacquainted
with this anatomical fact, there are upwards
of thirty-two diets“ ad separate species of
onloso'a or parasite, infect the human body.
Each of these species has also its favorite or
special domicil.
One species, known in scientific lan ge
by the somewhat enigmatical name of £21.-
alocym Mulhjfida, lies in its cyst or sack em.
bedded in the convolutions and substance of
the Rain. Another species inhabits the ar-
teria; and a third the kidneys as the sphere
oftheir operations. The Guinea worm and
Clique here through the skin and flourish in
the 'subjacent ‘ cellular tissue. Hydais'ds in-
fest various parts of the body, especially the
lungs and theliver. A little Fluke, in gen-
eral appearance not unlike a flounder, lies
steeped in' gall in the biliary vessels. If you
squeeze from the skin off your nose what is
vulgarly called a maggot—i. e.—the con-
tents of one of the hair follicles, it is ten to
one that you will find in that sebaceous cyl-
inder several animaiculae exhibiting under
the microscope, at very curious and compli-
cated structure. The eye, the heart, and the
nervous tissue, even, have their living in-
mates. But probably the most familiar of
all entozoa are the species infesting the in-
testinal canal. Of these there are nineteen
distinct sped“, the round, the thread and the
tapeworms being the most common. '
The latter often grow to an immense size,
having been known to attain twenty-eight
feet in length. The round and thread
worms are filmiliar to all, every grand-moth.
er possessing numerous remedies for their
expulsion.
Of late years the Tn'chma Spirak's has
created quite a sensation among our scienti-
fic men. Until the year 1860 their presence
'in the human body Was scarcely looked up-
on as other than a curiosity. At that time,
however, by a series of interesting experi-
ments and observations, it Was shown that
they are frequently the cause of a serious
and fatal disease—so fatal that whole fami-
lies have died from its effects amid great suf-
fering and pain. The chief epidemics have
occurred in Germany, but, we have not es-
caped in this country.
The parasite is always introduced into the
body by eating ham, sausages, &c., made
hem the flesh of hogs containing triehinse.
And it may be interesting to state at this
point, that by a recent report of the Chicago
Academy, dist about two out or every fifty
hogs have the parasites in their muscles.
.Our comparative immunity from the disease
in this country seems to be from the fact that
the pork is generally much more thorough-
ly cooked before it is eaten-prolonged ex-
posure to a high temperature killing the tri-
ehinae. It would be interesting did our
space permit, to enter more fully into this
subject, and explain the curious manner by
' which these parasitesgain access to the mus-
cles or the hog, their habits and appearance
under the .microscope,and¢ the symptoms
they occasion when taken into the human
stomach; but we will not tax further the
good humor of “ ye friendly editor,” or “ ye
fe110w what sets up the type.’,’ We will sim-
ply say in conclusion by way of advice unto
those who possess a weakness for the “ slip-

There was once a countryman who by
dint of hard labor and the exercise of great
prudence, had amassed a sufliciency of
means. Besides lots of wheat and a large
quantity of wine, he had no less than eight
oxen and four horses in his stables. Not-
withstanding his comforlabie position, how-
ever, he would not marry. His friends and
neighbors reproached him with his celibacy,
but he excused himself by saying that when
he came across the kind of a woman he
wanted, he would marry her. His friends,
to help him, resolved to search about for
such a woman. '
There lived a few miles off an old cheva-
lier, a widower, and very poor, who had a
beautiful and clever daughter. The girl was
old enough to be married, but as it happened
' that the father had nothing to give her, no-
body ever thought it worth his while to woo
her. The friends of the countryman having
presented themselves before the old cheva-
her, he speedily yielded compliance to their
wishes; and the girl who was good and
would not disobey her father, found herself
ferced to comply. - The countryman was
delighted at the prospect of such an alliance.
He determined to lose no time, and pressed
the marriage forward with all haste. Hard-
ly, however, were they married, than be
perceived that he had made a great mistake ;
in short, he could not have done anything
more foolish than to lake to himself such a
wife. When, for instance, he Was working
out in the fields, what would his wife do,
she was so accustomed to sit at home in idle
ness 1’ He knew, besides, that the priest, to
whom every day was Sunday, would not
scrapie to be with her as often as it suited
him. What, then, would become of the
stupid husband? And yet, what was the
stupid husband to do? '
“ If, in the morning,“ he thought to him-
self, “I pick a quarrel and strike her, she
will cry ailjhe day through. New, whilst
she is crying it is certain that she will not
gallanis. When I réturn I will be quits
with her by asking her pardon, and I know
how that is to be obtain .”
called for dinner. When the meal was con'
cluded, he approached his wife and struck
her cheek. Nor was this all. Fancying he
went out into the fields.
til his return. Then his first effort was to
conciliate her.
"‘ It was the devil who tempted me to
strike you,” he exclaimed. He swore never
tion again. On rising the following mom-
ing he once more picked a quarrel with his
wife, and repeated the performance of the;
preceding day. Then he went forth to his
work. The poor little woman felt now that
this treatment was to be her fate, and once
more began to cry piteousiy. ,
Whilst in this mournful condition, there
rode up to the door two king’s messengers,
each mounted on a white horse. They sa-
luted her in the name of the king, and asked
her for something to eat. They were dying
of hunger, they said. She set before them
all that she had in the house to odor, and
whilst they were eating, begged them to tell
her whither they were journeying.
' “ We are not journeying anywhere in par-
ticular,” said they. “ The truth is, we are
searching for a skilful doctor, and we mean
to travel into England should we not find
one here. Ads, the king’s daughter, is ill.
Eight days ago, whilst eating some fish, a
bone stuck into her throat, and left her in-
capable of swallowing.‘ Every remedy the.
can be suggested has been applied to her
but without avail. She can neither eat nor
sleep, and her sufferings are terrible. The
kgug, who ‘was in despair, ordered us to
search for one capable of curing the princess.
If he loses her he willdie.” .
“ You have no need to travel any farther,”
exclaimed the wife. “ I know the very man
you want. He is a great doctor.
“ Is it possible? You are not deceiving .
us i’
“ No, I am telling you the truth; but un-
fortunately, the doctor of whom I speak is
a very singular sort ofperson. He is slight-
ly touched in the head I fear. Although he
has an extraordinary genius for medicine
he seems to thoroughly detest the science.
My own impression is that unless you beat
him heartily you will not get him to act for
you.”
“ Oh,” they answered, “ if he only needs
.cudgeling, we’ll give it to him. He couldn’t
be in better hands. Only tell us where he
lives."
The wife indicated lb fields in which the
husband was working, and wishing them
farewell entreated them not to forget the
essential condition of their undertaking.
They thanked her, and arming themselves
each with a big stick, made towards the
countryman. Having saluted him, they in
formed him that they came from the king
and commanded him to follow them.
“ What for i" he asked.
“ To cure the Princess Ada. We have
heard of your skill, and we have come to
fetch you in the king’s name.”
The countryman replied that he was only
a laborer, and if the king wanted his ser-
vices in that capacity, he would be happy to
devote them to him. But as to medicine, he
swore on his honor that he knew nothing
at all about it.
“ I see, whispered one of the king’s mes-
sengers to the other, “ that civility will not
succeed here. He evidently wants to be
beaten.”
Saying this he slighted from his horse, the
other followed him, and grasping their-
sticks they commenced beating the country-
man with the hesrticst zest. The hopeless
laborer commenced by roaring at them for
their cowardice—two to one—and their cru-
elty; but finding they were too strong for
him, he threw himself upon his knees and.
swore to obey them. They thereupon mount-
ed him upon one of the white horses and
conducted him thus to the palace of the
king.
The illiiess of the princess had thrown
the king into a stale bordering'upon distrac-
tion. The return of the two messengers in-
spired him with hope, and he ordered them
to be conducted into his presence that he
might learn how successful they had been
in their inquiries. 'Having sounded the
praises of the wonderful but eccentric doc-
tor, they -iheu proceeded to narrate how they
played to capture him.
“I confess,” said the king, “ that I never
heard of a doctor like this before. But since?
here it is i"
had found and the method they had em- '1
fore he will cure the princess, let him be
beaten.” Having ordered the princess to
descend, he bade the countryman to ap-
proach him. “My friend,” he said,“ this is
.the lady whom'you are to cure.”
The wretched countryman threw himself
upon his knees and begged for mercy, swear-
ing by all that was holy, that he knew noth-
ing whatever of medicine. The only reply
of the king was to signal two tall sergeants
who were standing by armed with sticks.
They made a dart at the countryman, and
seizing him by the arms, rained upon him a
perfect shower of blows.
“ Mercy 1 mercy i” he yelled. “ I‘ll cure
her, sire; I’ll cure her.” '
The princess stood before him pale and
dying, indicating her sufferings by pointing
with her finger down her open mouth. The
countryman began to ponder within himself
how he should effect this cure. He plainly
saw there was no backing out of it, but that
he must either succeed or perish from lieg-
giug.
“ The bone,” said he to himself, “is in the
throat; If I could only succeed in making
her laugh, the chances are that I might dis-
lodge it.
Impressed with‘his notion, he requested
the king to order a large fire to be lighted
in the hall, and further desired to be left
alone with the princess. When the hall was
deserted be partially undressed her, told her
to seat herself near the fire, and commenced
tickling her, making all the time such grim-
aces that, in spite of her sufferings, the
princess suddenly burst out into a about of
laughter. At the same instant, the bone
flew out of her throat and fell upon the
floor. Picking it up, the countryman flew
to the door, crying “ Sire, sire, here it is i
“ I owe you my life i ’ cried the king, in'a
transport of joy. And he promised to give
him in reward 'for his services handsome
presents. of g0wns and cloaks. It was a

before. Being left alone with the sick, he
ranged them all round the fireplace, in
which he made a tremendous fire.

with great solemnity, “ it is no trifling favor s
to accord, that of giving health to so many
people in so short a time. There. is only s

Saying this, he sternly contemplated the
surrounding crowd, as if examining their
condition. But amongst them all therewas
not one who for the. whole of Normandy
would have allowed that his malady was
serious. The doctor addressing one of them
exclaimed, “ Yoh’re looking pale and ill;
you seem to have the most serious disorder
of them all.”
“ I, sire? On my word, I never felt bet-
ter in my life than I do at this moment.” ,
“ Then what do you here, you villain i”;
exclaimed the dector. A
Without answering, the sick man opened
the door and took to his heels. The king,
who was outside, perceived the sick man
leave the hall. “ Are you cured i" he asked.’
“ Yes, sire." A moment after another sick
man appeared. “' And you i” “ I am also

What was the result of this maneuver?
There was not a single soul, old or young,
male or female, who would consent to being
reduced to ashes. All left, swearing they
were all cured.
The delighted king returned to the hall to
congratulate the doctor. He was amazed
and filled with admiration at the skill that
in ad short a time could work so many mir-
acles.
“ Sire,” exclaimed the doctor, ,“ I have an
amulet possessed of awondrous virtue, with
which I work my cures.”

permitted him to return to his wife, on con-

bade adieu to the king. He had no longer
any occasion to be a laborer ;‘ and no longer,
therefore, cared to beat his wife. To his dy-

had been made a doctor.

A Good Word for Winter.

BY'JAHES nussnLL LOWELL.
n
I'tllink the old fellow has hitherto had
scant justice done him in the main. We
make him the symbol 0f old age or death,
and think we have settled the matter. As
if old age were never frosty, but kindly tool
as if it had no reverend graces of its own as
good in their way as the noisy impertinence
.of' childhood, the elbowing self-conceit of
youth, or the pompous mediocrity of middle
life! As if there were anything discredits.
ble in death, or nobody had ever longed for
it! ‘Suppose we grant that Winter is the
sleep of the year, what then ? I take it up-
on me to say that his dreams are finer than
the best reality of his waking rivals.
“ Sleep, Silence’ child, the father of soft Rest,"
is a very agreeable acquaintance, and most
of us are better employed in his company
than anywhere else. For my own part, I
think Winter a pretty wide aWake old boy,
and his blufl' sincerity and hearty Ways are
more congenial to my mood, and more
wholesome for me, than any charms of
which his rivals. are capable. Spring is a
fickle mistress, who either does not know
her own mind, or is so long of making itup,
whether you shall have her or not have her,
that one gets tired at last of her pretty miii‘s
and reconciliations. You go to her to be
cheered up a bit, and ten to one catch her in
the sulks, expecting you to find enough
good-humor for both. After she has become
Mrs. Summer she grown-l a little more staid
in herIdcmeanor; and her abundant table,
where you are sure to get the earliest fruits
and vegetables of the season, is a good foun-
dation for steady friendship; but she has
lost that delicious aroma of maidenhood,
and what was delicately rounded grace in
the girl gives more than hints of something
like rcdundance in the matron. Autumn is
the poet of the family. He gets you up a
splendor that you would say was made out
of real sunset; but it is nothing more than a
few hectic leaves, when all is done. He is
but a sentimentalist after all ; a kind of Lam-
artine whining along the ancestral avenues
he has made luu'e timber of, and beggmg‘ a
contribution of spirits from your own
savings to keep him in countenance. But
Winter has his delicate sensibilities too, on-
ly he does not make them as good as indeli-
cate by thrusting them forever in your face.
He is a better poet than Autumn, when he
has a mind, but, like a truly great one as he
is, he brings you down to your bare man-
hood, and bids you understand him out of
that, with no adventitious helps 01’ associa-
tion, or he will none of you. He does not
touch those melancholy chords on which
Autumn is as great a master as Heine. Well,
is there no such thing as .thrumming anthem
and" maundering over them till they get out
of tune, and you .wish some manly band
would crash through them and leave them
dangling brokenly forever? Take Winter
as you find him, and he turns out to be a
thoroughly honest fellow, with no nonsense
in him, and tolerating none in you, which is
a great comfort in the long run. He is not
what they call a genial critic; but bring a
real man along with you, and you will find
there is a crabbed generosity about the old
cynic that you .would not exchange for all
the creamy concessions of Autums. “Sea-
sons of mists and mellow fi'uitiblness,” quo-
tho? That’s just it; Winter soon blows
your head clear of fog and makes you see
things as they are; I thank him for it!
The truth is, between ourselves, I have a
very good opinion ofthe whole filmily, who
always welcome me without making me feel
as if I were too-much of a poor relation.
There ought to be some kind of distance,
never so little, you know, to give the true
relish. They are a good company, the worst
of them, as any I know, and I am not a lit—
tle flattered by a condescension from any
one of them; but I happen to hold Winter’s-
retainer, this time, and, like an honest advoo
cats, am bound to make as good a showing
I can for him, even if it cost a few slurs
upon the rest of the household. Moreover,
Winter is coming, and one would like to get

TRUE MABRIAGE.—-“Wherevel',’.’ says Gail
Hamilton, “man pays reverence to woman—
wherever man feels the influence of any we-
man, pnrifying, chastening, abashing,
trengtllcning him against temptation,
shielding him from evil, ministering to his
elf respect, medicining his we‘ariness, peo-
pling his solitude, winning him from sordid
prizes, eulivening his monotonous days with
mirth, or fancy, or wit, flashing heaven up‘
on his earth, and mellowing it all for spirit.
and fertility—there is the element of mar-
riage. Wherever woman pays reverence to
man—wherever any woman rejoices in the
strength of any man, feels it to be God’s
agent, upholding her weakness, confirming
her purpose, and crowning her power;
wherever he reveals himself to her, just, up
right, inflexible, yet tolerant, merciful, be
nignant, not unruflied, perhaps, but not
overcome by the world’s turbulence, and re-
sponding to all her gentleness—his feet on
the earth, his head among the stars—help-
ing her to hold her soul steadfast in right,
to stand firm against the encroachments of
frivolity, vanity, impatience, fatigue and dis-
couragement, helping to pressrve her good
nature, to develop he‘r energy, to consoli-
date her thoughl, to utilize her benevolence,
to exalt and illumine her life—there is the
essence of marriage. Its love is founded on
respect, and increases self-respect at the very
moment of merging self in another. Its love
is mutual; equally giving and receiving at
every'instaut of its action. . There is neither
dependence nor independence, but interde-
pendence. Years cannot weaken its bonds,
distance cannot sunder them. It is a love
which vanquishes the grave, and transfig-
ares death itself into life.
Dm ANr our AWAY i—The Indianapolis
Sentinel tells a rich joke on a railroad con-
ductor who residesin that city. In his ab-
sence his wife presented him with a fine
boy. SOme ofhis wife’s fi-iends, who are of
a waggish turn of mind, suggested that they
borrow two other babies in theneighbor-
hood, and present the three youngsters to”
the happy father on his return. The plan
was carried out, and upon the arrival of the
train in the evening, the young husband,
who had heard that all was well, hurried
home. .After fondly kissing his wife, he
asked to see the little stranger. Imagine his
surprise on beholding three babies when the
coverlet was turned down. After gazing at
them in profound astonishment for several
minutes, he turned to his wife and coolly
asked, “ Did any get away?” '
