GA.. SATURDAY, AUGUST 13.1887. Falling Leaves. Do you hear the sad, sweet music, W hich, like some Aeolian, strain Struck by warm winds’ unseen fingers, Comes and goes, and comes again! ’Tis the plaintive voice of Nature, Singing softly while she grieves. List! ’tis the funeral march of Summer ’Tis the dirge of falling leaves. We may catch the faltering accents If we list with bated breath: “Time’s tireless wheel in endless cycle Brings birth and life and death. Why aie the brightest joys the fleetest Why sing, if song must end in sigh? by sin'le, if smiles so soon are faded? Why live at all, if but to die?’’ Thus is the mournful, whispered cadence Borne through the air on falling leaves; Thus: nature, like a sorrowing mother, Sits by her dying child and grieves- And my heart has caught the echo, Beating time to the refrain, Dying, dying, thus around me! Is there ought Death cannot claim. Arouse, my heart, be brave and earnest: Throw off the chill chains of despond! Have you not heard the glorious promise Os a birth and life beyond? Though the leaves shall fall and wither, They will surely come again; Though Death claim you for a season, Li!e immortal waits you then. —[Miriam V. Crocker. A DISCOURAGED MAN. “It’s the last time lam going to try! Luck is against me, and I’ll just give up! There is no use in trying to do any thing, when the odds are against you.” It was John Harris who was doing the talking. His wife was sewing buttons on the children’s clothes after they had gone to bed. As she held the buttons in her mouth, to prevent them rolling off, she had no opportunity to answer her husband, even if she had the incli nation. Mr. Harris resumed; ‘Tin clean discouraged, that’s what I am ! Os course I don’t think of myself” —Mis. Harris’ lip curled a little, and one button escaped, and rolled under the table—“it’s you and the children I’m worried about”, —another button roiled away—“and if it wasn’t for leav ing you alone, Mary, I’d—” He did not finish what he was saying as just then Mrs. Harris coughed and all the buttons flew out of her mouth. “Is it such a bad failure?” she asked presently. She was darning the child ren’s stockings now, having sewed on all the fugitive buttons. “It couldn’t be worse. When a man’s partner takes all the money out of the business and skips to a foreign country, everybody hounds him to death as if he had been dishonest. All the creditors are clamoring for their money, not be cause they need it,but because I haven’t got it. It’s no use, Mary, I’m a ruined man and I’m going to find away out of it all.” “How?” asked Mrs, Harris calmly, although the lonu, slender needle she was using trembled and vibrated in her hand. “There arc more ways than one, ”he an swered significantly. “I shall not live to see you want, or to be a burden on you and the children. There is no dis honor attached to my name now. We have lived within our means and tried earnestly to succeed. It was rash, I sup pose, to embark all in one venture and lose it!” “You have not lost all,” suggested bis wife; “you have health, wife and ' children and an unblemished character.’ "Poor capital, these,” retorted her husband gloomily. ‘‘No, lam going to give up! I tell you, Mary, I’m a dis couraged man! You don’t know what it is to endure business worries; women are sheltered and protected from all those .annoyances.'' “Are they?” answered Mrs. Harris with dry lips. She had done the work of three women that day. She had been cook, and nurse, now’ wis seamstress. She had cut and contrive I, counted pennies and was engaged to give music lessons to the doctor’s daughter, to offset their last year's bilk Her whole frame quivered with the pain of jarred arid tangled nerves. But it never entered into her mind that she dared to com plain. “Doe the Next Thynge,” was the motto she bad framed and hung up where she could see it, many times a day. “As I say,” continued her husband after a spell of gloomy thought, “there’ away out of it, and many a man has been driven to it. I won’t live and be persecuted by a mob of circumstances. If I were out of the way you and the chil dren would have enough to live on comfortably the rest of your lives. It’s only anticipating our final fate by a few months or years.” Mrs. Harris folded the last pair of stockings and laid them neatly away. A little smile hovered about her lips. “John,” she said in a firm voice, “I have a last favor to ask of you.” “What is it, Mary?” “Don’t die in the bouse!” Before the astonished man could speak, she continued: “Because it would be so unpleasant for the children and for me. It is our home. I have the deed of it in my pos session, sent to me by my father yester day. And I should hate to have any un pleasant associations connected with it. I should very much dislike to have you buried at the four corners near here with a stake driven through you, though people would soon forget that we ever belonged to you. For I would not own to being the widow of a coward or let my children bear his name. And even if you were not held responsible I would be ashamed to think you had written your own epitaph, ‘Here lies a dis couraged man.’” John Harris was dumb with surprise. “I know,” continued his wife, “that it is a favorite thing for men to say that they will get out of it all, and that women do not realize how desperate the situation is, and a lot more rubbish that they ought to be ashamed of.” John tried to speak, but his wife had the floor. “It is only a coward who would take refuge in death and leave his wife and children to fight the life of battle alone. “And right here, John, I want that subject to end forever. It is hard enough to live with a man who is chronically discouraged, but when he hints at get ting out of it, I object!” John Harris never again made any vague and improbable threats, but took the dilemma of business by both horns and practically mastered it. Nor has his wife ever heard him declare since that evening that he was “a discouraged man.” —[Detroit Free Press. About Army Animals. Captain Archer, of the Fifth Infantry, was celebrated in “the old army” for his love of dogs and the number he pos sessed. At one time, while stationed in Albuquerque, N. M., his servant came rushing down to the sutler store to re port to him a great misfortune. A wild Texas steer had gotten into the corral where he kept his dogs and played sad havoc with thorn. “Kill any?” exclaimed the captain. “Yes, sir; all but 30,” re plied the servant. Major Joe G. Tilford, Seventh United States Cavalry, stationed in Fort Harker in 18G8, had an imported sky terrier, Gyp by name, who was the prettiest dog in the army, on account of its ugliness, and very intelligent. The major prided himself on his well trained dog, and spent no little time in educating him. The major had a charming wife, unfortu nately very rleaf, and his mother-in-law, a courtly lady of the old style, lived with him at the time who was deafer than her daughter. One morning, just after reveille, the major was standing on the back stoop of his quarters, when he ob’erved Gyp worrying some chickens He called to the dog, and shouted again and again, but the usually obedient brute paid no attention; and the major, in a vexed tone of voice yelled out: “You Gyp, stop; can’t you hear because you are deaf like the rest of the family?” General M ■«, when Colonel of the Fifth United Slates Infantry, command ing at Fort Harker, had a Gordon setter ■ named Jack, and which was given the ! surname that made his whole designa- : tion run among the soldiers as Jack Miles. He a wonderfully intelligent i dog. Illustrative; One day when show- | ers and sunshines varied the “indica tions,” Jack Allies was trotting along the sidewalk in front of Major Joe Til ford's quarters, when he was attracted by a fluttering hen, with abig brood of chickens, on the front porch, apparently is great distress. Jack Miles looked at the agitated mother and around, and finally perceiving a young chicken in a waterbutt under a spout leading down from the porch, lie reached over, took the chick tenderly in his mouth, lifted it out and deposited it on the sidewalk, and trotted off with a wag of his tail, as much usto say, “lam agood Samaritan.” The hen came down off the porch, gathered in the lately imperiled one of her brood and chuckled vehemently her “thanks.” [Omaha II 'raid. Striking Incident in Hawaii. The name which her Majesty the Queen of Hawaii bears recalls, it may be mentioned, one of the greatest acts of heroism recorded in the history of the rebellion of human intellect against fa naticism. There existed a horrible Goddess Pole, presiding over the great volcano Mauni Loa, who was the most cruel and dreadful of all the insular di vinities. Wherever upon the soil the huge crater of Kilauea had thrown out lava, stones, or scoria, there her blood thirsty temples were erected and human victims were daily sacrificed. It was in the name of Pele that the priests exer cised their worst oppression, and there fore it may be judged what splendid courage was shown when the heroine Kapiolani ascended the volcano to defy and publicly dethrone the hateful god dess. She was the wife of a great chief tain, who had become a Christian, ami she had determined to take on her own head the tremendous response ity of exposing the folly of idol-worship. As she drew near the great crater a violent eruption of fire and sin'ke took place, which looked like the anger of Pole, and was attributed to that cause, while furious attendants of the fiery goddess confronted K ipiolani upon its brink, declaring that she would be ' certainly killed, and all the islands de- | stroyed. Yet this noble woman fear lessly advanced over the quaking ground, , through the sulphurous air, and amid fire, noises and in >ke, and on the very summit of Mauna L >a defied the infernal deity, and declared her false, impotent, and abominable. Insultingly throwing stones into the seething lava lake below, she turned to the people and quietly said. ‘‘Peele is nothing! Jehovah is God, and made these fires. If I perish ' by the anger of Pole, then you may fear the power of Pele; but if I trust in Jehovah, and He should save me from ' the wrath of Pele, when I break through her tabus, then you must fear and servo the Lord Jehovah. AH the gods of Ha waii are vain! Great is Jehovah's good ness in sending teachers to turn us from ; these vanities to the living God and the ' way of righteous:: ss 1” Then they prayed, and sang a hymn, and as noth- , ing particular happenc 1 the revolution was achieved. The volcanic fires have since continued, but Pole’s evil light i was entirely put out by this heroic demonstration, and since then the beau tiful islands have become, if possible, only too much Europeanized. —[London Telegraph. Symmetry and Achievement. A small, well-made engine, with all parts adjusted, will do more work than a larger one with parts loosely connected and a great disproportion between the important members. So a small man, compactly built, with symmetrical pro portions and a well balanced organism, can accomplish more than a larger man less solidiy made with all parts wanting tn symmetry and shapeliness. This law of adaptation and harmonious adjust ment of parts prevails throughout the greater portion of the animal kingdom. Among the civilized portion of the 1 human race it is controverted by social laws that tend to foster an inharmonious > development.

Persons who suppose themselves to bo nearsighted and feel the need of glasses, nvver ought to depend on their own judgment in making a selection. They should consult a physician, and aspccial •st in diseases of the eye if possible. Young people especially should observe this rule, for if an unwise selection was made, r ot only will permanent injury of the eyes very often result, but general diseases of the system which often cause the defect in sight which appears to demand the use of glasses will be over looked.— [Boston Herald. WclkHlhk the llnby. Since the first year is by far the most critical period of life, and since weight gives the most reliable evidence whether a child is thriving or not, sanitarians now teach that the parents should, throughout tho first year, weigh their babies and record this result every week, as is now habitually done in the best hospitals and asylums for infants. During the first three days of life there is always a loss of weight which should be fully legained by the seventh day, by which date a baby ought to weigh fully as much ns at its birth. During tho next three weeks according to Chailie. there should be a gain of at least from two to four ounces every week. The greatest gain of weight throughout life is during the first five months, the maxi* mum being usually attained during the second mouth. The increase during this maximum month should be from four to seven ounces weekly, and the next three succeeding months about five ounces weekly. During the remaining seven months of the first year the gain should bo at least iron: two to four ounces weekly. The gain is less than indicated at times when the infant may suiter, whether from teething or other cause. Treatment In l.ivt-v Complaint*. According to Murchison, a careful regulation of the diet will do more for one who is afflicted with a liver trouble than all medicine. The foods to be avoided are the fatty, the saccharine, and the highly seasoned. Corn, oats, wheat, sago, rice and potatoes consist largely of starch, which, in the process of digestion, is converted into sugar. In severe cases, these an 1 kindred substances must be given up. As most people would find it exceel ingly difficult long to dispense with the use of wheat bread, gluten bread may be substituted for it; that is, bread made of wheat from which about two-thirds of the starch has been removed. The diet should absolutely exclude clear fat and sugar. The quantity of the food is a consid eration hardly secon 1 to the quality. Too much food, of whatever kind, must be strictly guarded against. The liver is injuriously affected’by al coholic liquors, generally. These bever ages are to be rigidly prohibited, es pecially malt liquors, port wine, and champagne. One would not have sup- • posed beer to be worse than brandy, but it is uidch worse. Next to regulating the diet is securing an abundance of fresh air—sea air is es pecially helpful in liver difficulties—and a sufficiency of vigorous exercise. The action of the skin should be kept up by frequently bathing the body with warm water and soap. It is also beneficial to drink h: If a pint of cold water, or water with a little soda in it, on going to bed, and while dressing in the morning.' Liver diseases are, however, so diffi cult and refractory that it is peculiarly necessary to call in the services of a good physician as soon as the complaint has declared itself. Too many persons are inclined at once to begin dos ng, supposing that they are •‘bilious.” The incautious and unwise use of medicine at such a time may fasten a chronic disease up >n one who might have been permanently cured in a few days, by proper treatment.— [Youth’s Companion.
