IF WE KNEW.
If we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our neighbor’s way,
If we knew the little losses,
Surely grievous, day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For the lack of thrift and gain,
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on his heart a stain ?
If we knew the clouds above us,
Held by genie blessings there,
W'ouid we turn away, all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair? .
Would we shrink from little shadows
Lying on the dewy grass,
While ’zis only birds of Eden
Just in mercy flying past 1’
Let us reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love toward crring nature
Cherish good that still survives,
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar t-l realms of light agai n,
We may say, "Dear Father. judge us
As we judged our fellow men.”
A Mid-Winter 1mm...
BY L. K. BLACK.
Mrs. Grant-Ferguson was a woman of
ideas: a _
“She must be eccentric. this :lady," said
Professor Keller to Carl Gilson as the two
walked down the street together. And why
does she bear a double name? Who was
Grant Ferguson ?”
“Entirely a mythical personage, composed
of the memories of two deceased husbands,”
answered Carl lightly. “She keeps both
names because she wishes 'to behave with
strict impartiality.”
“Ah!” said the professor with his simple
seriousness. “Then she is indeed a singular
woman, to be so faithful. I should not my-
self objcct to bioming sixth husband to
such a marvel."
At which Caryl laughed. lie had introduc-
ed the professor at Mrs. Grant—Ferguson’s
house, which was well worth seeing, for a
like union of fashionable decorations thrown
together as if by accident could scarcely
have been found anywhere else in town. ’
Mrs. Grant—Ferguson he'i‘selfi was no unin-
teresting study. Of aromantic temperament,
the first stage of her life—«as wife of Richard
Grant, :1 vender of odds and ends—chad been
spent in two stuffy rooms over the store,
where in the intervals of work necessary to
carry on their small establishment she read
novels and dreamed dreams. Richard died
while she was still young; and when her
black curls and sparkling eyes attracted the
notice of John Ferguson, soap manufacturer,
like a woman of more, shrewdness and less
romance, she smiled and sighed and flattered -
until she triumphantly led him away captive
in matrimonial chains. '
Ferguson, much to his own surprise, made
an immense fortune by speculation, and in
his turn died and left it for the widow to
spend. Then it was that her nature expand-
cd in full lnxurianee. Instead of second
rate novels she read Swinburne and Rossetti,
and, as other hints of predominating literary
tastes, reached her, pronounced George Eliot
“full of divine philosophy,” and referred to
Maedonald as the “leading philanthropist of
the day.” She filled her house to overflow-
ing with all that money can buy, and, if
people made critical remarks, Carl Gilson
was ready to answer, “Say what you will,
everything is there,-—~pieturcs, statues,velvet,
and tapestry; and if the woman doesn’t un— '
derstand the art of combination, surely it.
isn’t her fault.” ‘
Whm all her preparations for embarking
on the stream of fashionable life were com-
plete, she sent to a far—away New England
town for Janet Ayres, her husband’s niece,
to act as companion, general assistant, and
pet to her lsdyship. The Ayres were poor,
and Janet’s life had been a tame one; so the
. family decided it would be tempting Provi—
dence to neglect a chance of giving their
little girl a sight of the world. She came,
and Mrs. Grant-Ferguson eyed her critically,
noted the plain alpaca dress, modest hat,and ,
well-fitting gloves, and said, “Why, my
child, how nice and prim you look l—a dear
little old maid.” Then her glance sought the
face with its brown eyes and hair, firm red
lips, and clear skin brown as a berry, and
she kissed her again, crying, “Almost pretty.
too! At least your peculiar looking, and that
is more than positive beauty. I am sure you
will suit me to a charm."
Mrs. Grant—Ferguson would not have
chosen to chapercn a beauty. It was far from
her purpose to set youthful charms beside
her mature ones,and Janet attracted little
attention except from * elderly gentlemen,
who liked her natural ways and quiet good
sense, or from an artist now and then, drawn
by professional zeal to study her face with
its dark, rich coloring. It never occurred
to her that it could be otherwise. She was
an unconscious little creature, and her head
. remained unturned by the fascinations of the
life into which she had fallen. ,
“Why,” said her aunt to Carl, “the child
reads her chapter and says her little prayer
as calmly after coming home from a ball as
if she were in her own sleepy home.”
Carl was a handsome, indolent fellow, an
amateur in half the populararts and sciences,
which is the polite equivalent for the old
"Jackof—all-trades.” Indifferent, half cyni-
cal, and chivalrous to the backbone, he spent
his days in wandering from pictures to music
and books, occasionally dropping down into
the midst of society, where, he wassought
and admired in the same 'ratio in which he
sneercd at the vagaries os fashionable life.
When Mrs. Grant—Ferguson’s star was in the
ascendant, and all the small world ‘was talk-
ing of her fabulous wealth andeccentricities,
he met her, and, amused by her peculiarities,
but attracted also by her thorough good
nature, he attached himself to her as escort
and privileged frequentcr of her house.
Everybody wondered, but no one knew just
how he regarded her. To a witty acquaint.~
ance who joked at her expense after a party
at which she had committed some slight
offence against polite usage, he replied
grandly. “We have eaten her salt’; excuse
me if Ido not join you in dissecting her
character,” and bade the overawcd willing a
ccremonious “Good morning.” ,
“I have a new idea, Mr. Gilsou,” said Mrs.
Grant'Ferguson. one day. . She sat negli-
gently before the fire playing with the
crimson tassels of her gown, for she had
discarded all outward reminders of the late
Ferguson, and just now alIected an Oriental
magnificence of costume. “Balls are com-
men, and parties stupid, 'and‘ I’ve been
racking my brains for a novel and unheard—of
entertainment.”
_ “And you have found—what ?” asked the
young man,,lifting the golden ,’ line of his
' straight brows inquiringly.
“Well, Janet has been reading the Pick-
wick Papers to me, and the description of
that visit to the country house, wherever it
was, struck me as being altOgethP-r delight-
ful. New, this is my plan. The colonel"
(she always alluded to the late Ferguson by
this title,——a pleasant little fiction which by
constant repetition she had almost come to
believe, though the mild Ferguson had never
warred against anything more formidable
than the opposing powers of trade)——“thc
colonel had alargc country house at Del-
mount which has been left for years in charge
of an old couple there. Now, suppose a
party of its—eighteen or twenty—go down.
there and spend a week just after Christmas.
Wouldn’t it be odd and delightful ?" ‘
“A capital idea,” said Carl approvingly.‘
“I think the people would be immensely
pleased". ” '
“Do you, really ? Then the only thing ist
go aheadand carry it out. I dare say the
house is a tumble-down old pile by this
time, and bare as a burn; but great fires
in every room will light it up. If there are
stoves they must be taken alwa . We’ll try
' and do it all up inEnglish style,—-have great
suppers with joints of meat, and pig roasted
whole, and foaming tankards of ale. Do
give me some ideas. Can’t you and Janet
arrange something new and bright? Janetis
extremely good for planning."
Carl glanced at the quiet young girl on‘the
other side of the fire, who scarcely ever
opened her lips when he was in the room,and
whom he let alone accordingly. “The girl
doesn’t want to talk, or she can’t,” he said
after his first meeting with her. _ “In either
case, I will not make a martyr of her.” .
“Perhaps it would be well to let loose a
flock of sheep in the woods, in default of any
other game, and have a hunting party,” she
said with a quiet sarcasm which made Carl
look at her in surprise.
Mrs. Grant—Ferguson received the propo -
sal in simple good faith. “I am afraid we
can’t do that,” she said thoughtfully. .“If
it were only foxes, it might do; but any-
thing else—_ No,'Janet; we must give that.
up.” _
Janet repented when she saw a.gleam of
mischief in Carl‘s eyes,and would not answer
it. She was always loyal to her aunt, how-
ever mnch the letter’s vagaries offended her
own good sense._ “I didn’t mean that,auntie;
but I never have much sympathy with luping
foreign people and old times. If we are as
patriotic as we pretend, why shouldn’t we be
content as Americans, and live in to-day."
“You agree with Emerson ?” said Carl,
looking at her with still more interest.
“Only so far as Emerson agrees with me,”
answered Janet.
. TIM select few to. whom Mrs. Grant-Fer-
guson gave her invitations were in ruptures
over the plan, and preparations were carried
forward in hot haste. A small regiment of
servants were fit once despatched to make
investigations and repairs, and Janet carried
on a one-sided correspondence, full of com-.
mands and countermands, with the chief of
them, until the house at Belmount must have
resounded with the cxecrations of bewilder-
ed Jceineses, Bettys and Bridgets. Carl
showed more interest in the scheme than he
usually did in nierry’making, and held fre—
quent consultations with Janet.
"Do whatever you like, but don’t come to
me,” said the widow, waving them away.
“I claim credit for the original idea, but I
never could go into details.”
So the two fell into the habit of talking
together in Carl’s almost daily calls. Once
they made a plan of each day’s doings, from
skating to’ dances, and Janet grew merry
over it, while her aunt listened with pleased
indulgence, congratulating herself on her
own wisdom in introducing the girl to a kind
of life so well calculated to bring out. her
most attractive qualities.
“She has a delicious laugh, this ‘nut-
brown mayde,” said Carl to himself ashe
went home.
Mrs. Grant—Ferguson and Janet went down
to Belmount before the day set for the guests
to arrive, rejecting Carl’s offer to accompany
them as general assistant. “1%; you will be
more useful if you will take charge of the
party on the way,” said the widow. “We
will be there to receive you.”
N aturc was propitious, for when the pleas-
ure seekers left the cars the night was clear,
the sky flooded with moonlight. and the
lonely roads beaten into crisp, hard snow
tracks. Every one was hilarious, and their
spirits rose until the staid officials of the
little country station stared at‘them in sur-
prise. Twenty minutes of hunting for bug-
gage and settling feminine flounces and
wrappin gs in the great sleighs,an hour’s ride,
and they drove up to the old house,—a som-
bre pile shut in by dismal firs and cypresses,
but now ablaze with lights. The great hall
door swung open and disclosed Mrs. Grant—
Ferguson majestic in black, velvet and dia-
monds and radiant with hospitality, while
Janet stood in the background, a bright spot
of color in the old-fashioned room. No
matter in what gala array she was always a
domestic picture, and so quiet in a way
peculiar to herself that one would have
been at a loss to know Whether to call her
timid or self-possessed.
“It is going to be a success,” thought the
hostess, drawing a sigh of relief as the gully
attired troop poured down to dinner, and
again. more emphatically, when they sat at
the long table glittering with its modern
wealth, in high contrast with the bare walls
of the room. “It is a success,” she pronoun-
ced two hours after, when from her chair of
state she watched them dancing in the old
kitchen, while the music came mysteriously
from an unused bedroom where the players
had been stationed. _
“I am inclined to think your ladyship a
genius ,” said Carl, snuntering up and giving
himself as nearly his usual lounging posture
as it was possible to do in a straight-backed,
old—fashioned chair. "‘It makes a picture
worthy the hand of a real artist. See how
the bright dresses and faces light up the bare
boards and rafters. Look at Keller; isn’t.he
like an old Norse god with his deep blue
eyesiand lion’s mane of hair? Leonora Hum-
boldt, too, is simply magnificent. Did you
ever before see such purple-black hair or a
turn of neck and shoulders like hers P”
“She is very handsome," returned the lady
prudently. “But don’t admire her too much;
I have views for her which must not be
interfered with by compliments from you
non-marrying men.” -
Carl’s lip curled an imperceptible bit under
his moustache before he said coolly, “Ahl
do explain. I should be sorry to frustrate
any deep design of yours.”
"Well, I’ll tell you,” said the widow with a
sudden gush of confidence ; “I am so much
of a woman that I must have my match—
making plans, and 'I have thought of two
romances which I am determined shall be
well under way before we leave here,because
it isn’t once in a hundred times that such an
opportunity presents itself. In the first
I want Tom Cheney to fall in love with
Leonora; and then there are two others who
must be mated. Of all the man here, it
seems to me Professor Keller needs a wife
most. These Germans are domestic, you
know, and I think he would be very happy
in a home of his own. New, whom do you
think I mean to give him ‘3”
“Well, to tell the truth, 1 know of no one
over whom you have such power of life and
death as to lead her blindfold into matrimony -
except your fair self,” said the young man
with cool impudence. -
“Nonsense! I don’t men] to assume. con-.
trol of the affair; I shall only make it easy
for them to come to their own conclusions.
You can’t guess? 'Why, my Janet, to be
sure! You are surprised?” ’
“Yes, I must confess I am.”
“Well, I own I am generous, to be willing
to give Janet up, but everything must yield
to my love of a love-story. I know he likes
her, she is such a quiet dear and makes such
a pretty picture by the fire sewing. , He has
been in two or three times to read German
' poetry, and really seems to admire her. Of
course you won‘t say anything ? And would
you be so good as to find Janet for me? I
want to ask her about breakfast." ' .
Carl found her in the.dining room unpack-
ing an extra supply of silver.
“Does Auntie want me r" she" asked as he
came in. “Thank you; and don’t wait for
me,»please. I’ll come in a moment.”
He did waituuul when she was ready drew-

her hand through his arm. “Your fingers
are like ice,”.‘he said so impetuously and
unlike his usual self that she looked up in
surprise. “You will get your death in this
breezy old house.”
“Why, it is perfectly-warm,” exclaimed
Janet. There is a fire in every room.”
"Never mind; you'must not take cold,”
he insisted again; and Janet.was in a glow
all the evening from his tones more than the
fires, and forgot what an unnecessary caution
it was. There are times when we like un-
reason. ,
Professor Keller had been dancing with
Miss Humboldt, and when he resigned her
to an artist in a velveteen coat (“Which we
tolerate because he is undoubtedly a genius,”
said Mrs. Grundy)~stopped for a moment; by
Carl. “Isn't she a Brunhilda ?" he said,
tossing back his tawny hair. “Ah I‘ such
women as she inspire the poets. No wonder
they named her Lebnora Lshe would be royal
throned~ona pile of lien skins. But how
unlike are women! Now, there is a dove,”
turning to look at Janet, who stood watching
'the dancers, gently keeping time with the
quiet movements of her fan.
Carl made no answer to the professor, but
went over to Janet and asked her to give him
the waltz that was just beginning. '
“Thank you,hut I seldom dance round
dances,” she said with a little hesitation, a
flush creeping into her cheeks.
“You will make an exception to-night for
me 2" he pleaded. .
“I would rather not make exceptions for
any one," she answered with a quaint dignity;
and Carl liked her the better for being in a
way unapproachable, while he found a satis-
faction in the thought that if she did not
waltz with him she would with no one else.
So the‘days went on. and each one was a
triumph to Mrs. Grant-Ferguson. Her plans
prospered famously. The Morleys flirted
with the Howards,Miss Duncan made ex-
quisite'sketches of winter scenery, and any.
one who prided himself or herself on a spe-
cial talent had ample opportunity for dis-
playing it. They played “Crambo” some-
times of an evening, in which Harry Ritter
—a poet in a small way—distinguished him-
self. Half a, dozen young ladies who had
brought their music played it to their heart’s
content; Leonora sang divinely, and Tom
Cheny was as devoted to hér as even Mrs.
Grant—FergusOn could wish. It was whis-.
pered that she intended to go on the stage
and give her voice and beauty to the public; ,
but this she did not confess.
Finally the company became aware of a
small domestic drama going on in their
midst, and watched its progress furtively,but
without in the least understanding its mean-
ing. The two most prominent men of the
party, Professor Keller and .Carl Gilson, had
apparently devoted themselves to the most
insignificant woman, Janet Ayres. In nei-
ther case did it seem to imply positive love—
making. The professor was certainly cool
about it, and Carl had attached himself to
her in such a matter-of-fact style that Janet
could not decide within herself whether it
was a more exclusive attention than he gave
to other women or simply because, being her
aunt’s friend, he felt a proprietary interest
in all. that belonged to her; Mrs. Grant-
Ferguson herself was not shrewd. She
accepted all incense as burned for her own
nose, though it may be at the shrine of
another.
Gradually the professor grew pale and
distraught. He did not join heartily in
amusements, but sat usually by Janet, some-
times talking, but oftener watching her
hands, which were seldom without some
pretty, feminine work.
“Did you ever see a man so changed?”
whispered the widow to Carl triumphantly.
“If he isn’t in love, then I’m mistaken in the
symptoms. I’d give—oh, I’d give a fortune
to know if Janet likes him. Quiet little
mouse! she is too deep for me to fathom.
You are a student of human nature; watch
her and tell me what you think." ' ‘
“Madam,” said Carl with an emphasis that
made her start, “I ,must decline taking part
in the affair in any capacity.”
Mrs.Grant-Ferguson shrunk within herself
quite humbly. and did not, allude to the mat-
ter again.
Carl walked away anathematizing himself
for having shown mere personal feeling in
what she had taken for a delicate sense of
honor. “What business has a man to prowl
round a girl quoting poetry and talking
sentiment i" he said to himself. Then, still
more ashamed for being ungenerous, he
ordered. a horse and rode to the village in
the face of a stinging blast, but came back
with the evil'demon still unexOrcised.
“Will you join our skating party, Mr.
Gilson ?" asked his hostess graciously from
the head of the table that evening. “We
can‘t allow you to refuse, though you were
absent when the arrangements were made.”
“I shall be delighted, of course," answered
Carl mechanically, casting a quick glance at
the side of the table where he overheard the
professor saying in a low tone to Janet,
“Skates? Allow me to sharpen them ;" and,
do what he would, he could not help feeling
half disgusted. “If the man is in love with
her, why can’t he behave like a sensible
being ?" he thought. “Why need he look so
pale and woe-begone? She can’t be what I
believed her, or she would laugh at him.”
“Of course _I couldn’t trust myself on
skates,” the widow continued. “It would
furnish excellent fun for you, I’ve no doubt,
but I am not quite generous enough to give
you that entertainment. Professor Keller
.has cxtemporized a chair on runners, and
two benevolent gentlemen have agreed to
push me. If I get chilled and come home
.early, that must not break up the party.
Stay ‘as long as you like, and. then come
back to a hot supper.” _ '
When they started, Carl took the widow
in charge, and at. the river placed her in the
chair which‘Dwight and Mitchell, her devo
ted satellites, were eager to push. Then he
buckled on his own skates and started off
leisurely; for, by the kind of accident which
in such cases passes for fatality, Janet and
the professor were just in front of him. He
admired her trim, compact figure and clean,
graceful strokes, and then lost sight of them
among- the otlfers. . ‘
Half an hour after, skating into a cove, he.
heard his own name shouted breathlessly,
and/turning, saw Keller in hot pursuit. “I
wanted to see you!’ he panted as Carl paused.
“I've been making up my mind to ask for
advice for some days past. You are a man
of honor and a man of the ‘ world; yon‘can
tell me what I ought to do." , .
“Well, suppose we skate along together,”
said Carl surprised at such a headlong ad-
dress. “But what have you done with Miss
Ayrcs ?"
“0h, she is with her aunt. Tell me, Gil.
son; I must speak or die." ~ Carl began to
look with amazement at the excited German.
"Suppose you loved a woman, the most beau-'
tifnl in the world, and you heard she was
engaged to Inother man, but, felt all the time
you could not give her up, what would you
do ?” , '
Carl Was'silent. “Now is your time,'old
fellow,” he thought, “to prove yourself a
man of honor and let him win her if he can.”
Then in a husky voice, “Do you know she
cares for some one else ?"
“Her Gott, no 1' If I did, I shouldvbe mad,
-—-crazy. They only say so, and she seems—
ahl she seems to prefer him; and then how
can I intrude myself ?_I resolve again and
again that I will not trouble her, and then I
blame myself that I did not.”
“Well,” said Carl slowly, “I should think
the one thing to do .would be toast: her
whether the report is true or not. If it is,
you have no more to say; if not—"
A look of relief visible in the moonlight
came over the professor’s face. “Ahl that
is reason, and so simplel- Thank you, my
friend! I go at once;” and he darted away.
“Well," said Carl again, “I should call that
lunacy on skates: and here,” as he took his
own way down the river rather fecbly,—-
"here is idiocy.” _
Not far beyond the next corner he saw a
woman quietly seated on a log that came
through the ice; it was Janet.
Hc'went up to her. “You must get up at
once. You will take cold,” he said almost
roughly. “Why are you here?”
"I was only resting. Auntie went home and
insisted on my staying; but I think I shall
disobey orders and go back now if you will
take off my skates.” '
A quick, unreasoning desire came over him
to take her away before the professor found
her. ‘Before many seconds had elapsed the
skates were in his hand and he was by her
side on the road home. .
"Did you see the. professor, and did he
ask your advice ?” she questioned innocently.
“What do you mean ?” said Carl almost
stopping short. ' . , '
“Oh, you think I know nothing aboutit,”
shcwent on With a little arch laugh. “Well,
he came to me first, and I gave him my
humble opinion, which'he received with the
frank remark that a man would know what
a man ought to do, and he should ask you.
I can guess what you told him, and now I
suppose he has gone to Leonora.”
“Leonora! Is it she he is raving about?”
said Carl in rather a dazed way.
“Certainly. Who did you think it was?”
“You l” ‘ . '
“0h!”
Two monosyllables, hilt they expressed so
much that as a. result Carl instantly put his
hand over hers and held it there. and Janet
did not object, while ' both hearts beat
tumultuously. _
When he came into the avenue of firs and
cypresses he paused and said, “You advised
the professor; advise me on the same subject.
If I love a woman, ‘the most beautiful on
earth,’ to quote the professor's words,’ shall I
tell her so P" V
“I think I would,” answered Janet hardly
above a whisper ; and—he did.
The skaters came in before midnight, and
at the supper table everybody was radiant.
The professor drank the health of the uni-
verse in the bitter ale it was Mrs. Grant—
'Ferguson’s whim to have, and Leonora's face
was so alight that Miss Duncan could not
eat, but only look at her and think what a
study she would makc,——a Helen alive with
divine beauty, 3 glad, love-thrilled Venus.
There were two confidences that night,—
one when the professor took Carl aside and
whispered with emphasis, “I am your friend
for life! You were right, and without your'
advice and the counsel of that good little
.Miss Ayrcs, who has stood my friend through
it all, I could not have done it. She loved
only me; she thought I did not care for her,
and so smiled, on. him while her heart was
aching. Ah! to think I was such a stupid
brute as not to know !”
Carl waited until Mrs. GrantLFerguson was
alone, and then said, “I want five minutes
talk with you, my friend.”
“Only five, then,” she answered good-na-
turcdly,‘ holding up her watch. “See, it is
half—past one.”
“It can be said in three minutes if you
like; I love Janet, and she has promised to
marry me.” '
There was never a more entire collapse
than Mrs. Grant Ferguson’s. She sat down
and looked at him with ludicrous amazement,
saying only, “Well, I never l”—-a colloquial—
ism that had been scrupulously. denied her
lips since Richard Grant’s time.
Carl laughe ' “I am sorry you are sur-
prised. I wou have asked permission in
due form, and you could have had the satis
faction of giving your blessing. beforehand,
but, to tell the truth, Fate got ahead of me.”
“But the professor?” .
“The professor is engaged to Leonora
Humboldt.”
Mrs. Grant—Ferguson only gasped; then
she rallied, and said with resignatidn, “Well.
it is more romantic so than it could have
been any other way. Yes, I believe I am,
glad, and I do hope you’ll be happy.”—Lz'p-

A Cow IN THE HEAD can usually be’cured
in a few hours. if, as soon as it is discovered
the person will suifi the fumes of ammonia
or spirits of camphor every few minutes as
strong as they can be borne. When a severe
cold attacks the throat and lungs, there is no
safety in neglecting it for an hour, for there
is more or less inflammation of the lungs,
which interferes with their action, rendering
them liable at anymoment to take on serious.
and, possibly, uricontrollable disease. Go
home'nnd remain there. In the evening take
a warm foot-batb,'nnd at bedtime take three
or four liver pills. These will stimulate the
liver to healthy action,.and promptly relieve
the lung trouble; but it: renders the system
sensitive to renewed attacks, and. therefore
the greatest care should be observed for .
several days not to take fresh colds.
Ordinarily, no other treatment is necessary;
but, should the cough continue, have your
druggist make the following mixture, and
take one or two teaspoonfuls every hour till
cured : Clyce‘riucfiour outgzes ;~whiskey, four
ounces; morphine, one grain. Sore throat
can be promptly relieved by applying a
mustard plaster, or “mustard leaves,” on the
the front of the neck, over the sore spot.
in addition the throat and mouth may be
frequently gargled with the following mix-
ture: Atcaspoonful of salt, a pinch of red
pepper and a tablespooufnl of vinegar. If
found too strong, add‘ a little water. A
portion of the gargle may be swallowed, or
sipped, little at a time. Sweating has been
quite generally recommended in the cure of
colds. Ithinlg, however, that the risk of
taking cold afterward will more than coun—
terbalance the good that may be expected,
and, except in cases of unusual severity, I
would not recommend it. The “Turkish
bath" has been highly recommended as a
cure for cOlds. With proper care afterward,
there is no better or more effectual plan of
cutting short a severe cold. It is not, how—
ever, necessary to go to a regular establish—
ment to take such a bath. Any small,
comfortable room, where a good fire can be
quickly made, will name: the‘ purpose. In
the early evening make a good fire in the
stove and close the doors and windows,
leaving only small openihgs for ventilation.
Then let the patient put on his night clothes
and lie‘ down on a bed or sofa, or sit in an
easy-chair for an hour or more, with the
temperature of the room from 90 deg. to 100
deg. F. Afterward the room should be
gradually cooled topabout 70 deg. and the
patient should go to bed‘and remain there till

All the dreams of hope.
Have they told you I am basting
To a fairer home ?
. Yes; but. here are roses Wasting.
Blossoms white as foam ;
Here are‘sun-gilt vine—leaves wreathing
Round our cottage door; '
Here are solemn fir-trees breathing
Fragrance ever-more.
ldave they told you that I am setting
All my thoughts on high ?
Yes; but can I learn forgetting
While old haunts are nigh ?
When the bracken plumes are swaying
On our pine-crown’d bill,
I can almost hear you saying
That you love me still.
Hush! I hear a footstep falling
On the garden plot,
And'a voice speaks, softly, calling,
Yet I answer not.
Till I feel your arms around me.
On my face your breath.
Love and faith have sought and found no ;
This is life—not death.

0, my I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live min
In millids made better by their. pm ;
no
In pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude, in mm
For miserable aims‘ that end with loll,
In thoughts sublimc‘ that pierce thb night
like stars,
And With their 'mild persistence urge unn’l
search
To vuter issues.
So to live in Heaven :
To make undying music in the world,
Breathing as beauteous'ordor that control-
With growing away the growinglifo of man.
So we inherit that sweet purity
Fer which we struggled, failed and agonimd
With widening retrospect that bred dun-ix.
Reballious flesh that would not be subdued,
A vicious parent shaming still its child.
Poor anxious penitence is quick dimlvod 3'
Its discards, quenched by melting bunnonld,
Die in the large and charitable air.
And all our rarer, truer self,
That robbed religiously in yearning song.
That watched to case the bur-then of the
world,
Laboriously tracing what must be.
And what may yet be better—saw within
A worthier image for the sanctuary.
And shaped it forth before the multitude
Divinaly human, raising worthip so
To higher reverence more mixed with love-,-
That better self shall live till human Tim.
Shall fold its eye-lids. and the human sky '
Be gathered like a. scroll within the tomb
Unread forever.
This il life to come,
Which martyred men have made more glori-
Oil!
For us who‘ strive to follow. May I reach
That purest Heaven, be to other souls '
The cup Of strength in some great agony
Enkiudle generous ardor, feed pure love.’
Beget the smile: that have no cruelty—
Be the sweet presence of a good diffused.
And in diffusion ever more intense.
So shall I join the choir invisible
Whose music is the gladness of the world.

Turned to her cupboard, cornered angle-
wrse, '
Betwixt this wall and that, in quest of ought
To satisfy the craving of Sir Tray.
Prickcured companion of her solitude,
Red spotted, dirty-white and bare of rib,
Who followed at her high and paneling been.
Prayer ,in his eye, prayer in his dining
Bait.
Prayer in his pendnlons, pulsating tail.
Wide on its creaking jaws revolved tho

The cupboard yawned, deepAhronted, thinly

For' teeth, with bottles, ancient conform.
And plates of varios uptfltemfiflne and white
Deep in the void she thrust her hooked
nose,
Peeping, near-sighted, for the wished for
bone, —
,While her white robe of ‘sumite, tilted high,
The thrifty darning of her hose displayed
The pointed feature traveled o’er the delf,
Greening its tips, but bone or bread round;
none, ' , ' ‘ ' .'
Wherefore Sir Tray abode still dinner-lets.
Licking his paws beneath the spinning
wheel, ‘ I ’
And meditating much on savory meats.
