Frailest things have frailty’s shield: Here a fly in amber sealed; There a bauble tossed aside Under ancient lava-tide, Meets the musing delver’s gaze. Time the king's memorial lays, Touching it with sportive stall’, But spares Erotion’s epitaph. Frailest things have frailty’s shield, Guarded by a charm concealed; So the gaunt and ravening wild Softens towards the weanling child, And along the giddy steep Safe one glideth, blind with sleep. Art thou mighty?—Challenged Fata Chooseth thee for wrestling mate! Art thou feeble?—Fate disarmed, Turning, leaveth thee unharmed. Thou that bendest shalt not break; Smiling in the tempest’s wake, Thou shalt rise, and see around How the strong ones strew the ground; Saving lightness thou didst wield, — Frailest things have frailty’s shield! DAVE’S SACRIFICE. “Ye’ll get it, Dave. Ye kin make sure of thet. Thar ain’t nobody round I hyar kin beat ye ridin’.” “Dave knows that ’thout ye tollin’ him, Mandy. He ain’t no fool, ’n’ that twenty-five dollars is cornin’ ter him, sure. I seed him givin’ Judy an extra rub-down this mownin’, 'fore sun-up. What ye goin’ ter do with the money, Dave?” “Wait till I get it,” answered a tall, athletic young fellow of about twenty years of age, who stood in the doorway of the little mountain cabin. “I ain’t makin’ no plans.” “Ye jest say that, Dave, not likin' to set yerself up none,” said his sister, rak ing out the fire on the broad hearth, and setting a big black kettle of water in the middle of the ashes. “But I’m countin’ on that new dress, ’n’ I’ll look fo’ it when yo’ uns comes up the mounting this evenin’.” Dave laughed and walked across the little yard to the rough shed where Judy was stamping and pawing impatiently. She whinnied as her sharp ears caught the sound of her master’s tread, and when he opened the shed door and held out his hand she came to him at once and put her head on his shoulder, showing as well as she was able how deep was her affection for him. Dave patted her gently, his arm around her neck. lie had raised her from a colt, and alwrnys talked to her as if she were capable of understanding everything he said to her. “We uns will show ’em some pretty ridin’ ter day, I reckon, Judy,” he half whispered, “I ain't afeared none ’bout gettin' thet twenty-five dollars.” He put a saddle and bridle on the mare and led her out. Her whinny of delight on leavingthe close shed, brought ‘Mandy and her husband to the cabin door. “Ye goin’ now, Dave?” asked his brother-in-law. “Yes; I reckon I better be off. I’ll take it slow goin’ down the mounting. ” “Weil, I’ll be ’long ’fore the toona ment sets in. I reckon there’ll be right smart o’ a crowd ter Erwin.” Dave assented with a nod, and rode awav, curbing with a steady hand Judy's desire to break into a wild gallop. He wanted to save her strength for the con test into which he was to enter that afternoon, and he felt as sure of the prize as if it were already within his grasp. The tournament was the bright idea of a young man from one of the Northern cities who was spen ling several months in the North Carolina mountains for the i benefit of his health, and who hail wan i dered by accident to Erwin, a little ham let at the foot of the mountain range, | miles from a railroad, where the great i event of each wick wa» the mail on Sat -1 urday. The houses arc decrepit frame build ings and rough log cabins, standing around a weedy square shaded by great oaks, beneath which the dozen or more eows of the place gathered oh warm days to chew the cud and wait for milking rime, while lean, lank, black hogs roamed at will through the stony, hilly street running around the square. There were no pavements, nor even a board walk, and on the low, sagging porch of the principal store, the men of the village regularly assembled every day, to smoke, to tell long stories of bear and wolf hunts, and discuss the news in the weekly papers. They seemed to young Howard Hilton —who was all spirit; and energy— utterly without enterprise or ambition, and he resolved to wake them up a little. To this end he proposed a tournament, offering a prize of dollars to the successful competitor; and was pleased with the excitement which at once took possession of the whole vil lage. On every side he heard the name of young Dave Fielder, and it seemed to be conceded that he would be the one to carry off the prize. The only horse that could compare with Judy in speed, and be relied upon not to swerve in a straight course, was a big black animal belong ing to Sam Breen, an old man who had been a famous hunter in bis day, but had recently been lamed by a severe fall. Riding was out of the question for him, and he had never allowed anyone else to mount Black Eagle. But there were six besides Dave who had entered their names as competitors, and among them was Rob Hartley, who lived with his old mother way up on the mountain side, and whose only steed was a decrepit white mule, which could be goaded into a pace faster than a walk only at the cost of unceasing labor with a stout cudgel. Dave, walking Judy slowly down the mountain path, laughed as he thought of the ridiculous figure Rob would cut on old Obed, and wondered what the boy could be thinking of, and if he under stood what a tournament was. But his laugh died abruptly away as a sudden turn in the path brought him al most upon a little clearing in the vast stretch of dark, uninhabited forest, in the middle of which stood a little log cabin of two rooms, divided by a wide entry. It was Rob’s home, and his mother—a forlorn figure in her coarse, homespun dress, slat sun-bonnet, and cowhide shoes leaned over the rail fence, a bucket in her hand. It seemed to Dave that a shadow fell across her face as she saw him, and her voice quivered as she asked if he were going to the tournament. “Rob beared yisterday as how ye’d give it up,” she said. “I ain’t hed no thought o’ scch a thing,” answered Dave. “I want ter know how it feels to have twenty-five dollars in my pocket.” The woman drew a long, deep breath. “It’s all up with Rob, then,” she said, in a low, despairing tone. “When he beared you’d pulled out he got the promise o’Sam Breen’s horse, ’n’ he made sure o’ the prize. Mercy knows we need it bad enough. But Rob, he ain’t the rider you be. He won’t stand no chance now.” She turned abruptly and went into the cabin, closing the door of the kitchen behind her. And Dave, no longer in a I cheery mood, rode on again, a per- I plexed look on his honest, sunburned i face. “I ain’t called on ter give it up -it’s too much to ask. Wo uns need the money, too,” he muttered. Then he remembered that when he run a rake prong into his foot, Rob’s mother had toiled up to Mandy’s cabin every day to dress the wound, and had torn up the only piece of fine muslin she possessed to make bandages, -And years ago when he had been left motherless, with no one to care for him save a sister, onlv a few years older than himself, Mrs. Hartley had given him food and shelter for months at a time. “I ain’t ever done nothin’ ter square accounts with her; that’s a fact" he mut tered, as he recalled these tilings. “I reckon I’d be a mean hound to run agin Rob now. I-I won’t do it,” and the heavy sigh which accompanied the words showed what it cost to utter them. There was a great crowd at the scene of the tournament, and the excitement was intense. Dave stood a little apart, but in good view of the track, his arm about Judy’s neck. lie had 'briefly announced that he did not intend to ride, and had refused any explanation, even to How ard Hilton, who was much disappointed at his decision. As the horses dashed up (he track amid cheers and cries from the crowd, Judy pawed (he ground impatiently and turned her large, soft eyes again and again upon her master’s face, as if seek ing to read there why she, too, was not allowed to show her pact’s. But Dave stood in silence by her, his eyes ever upon the lank, awkward figure of Rob Hartley, seated on Black Eagle. Not far away leaning against a tree, he saw the boy's mother with a faded red shawl about her thin shoulders. The contest was a spirited one; every competitor did Ins best, the face of Dave’s withdrawn! having allowed hope to creep into the hearts of even the poor est riders; but Bob Hartley came off vic tor, and Dave, with a strange pang, saw the prize awarded to him. “I can’t make out why ye changed yer min’, "bout ridin’, Dave,” said his broth er-in-law, as they rode home together at sun-down. “I got out o’ the notion o’ it,” ans wered Dave laconically. And no one except the Heavenly Father, to whom the secrets of all hearts are open, ever knew how great was the sacrifice he had made that day. —[New York Examiner. Robbing a Gohl Mine. At Nevada City, 1800 pounds of orc were sold a short time ago for SBOOO. It was identified as the product of the Eberhard mine, near White Pines, and there was a great deal of curiosity to learn how it had been carried out of the mine. The story was obtained in some way, and this is it: A Cornish miner employed in the Eberhard had his din ner-bucket made with a false bottom, into which he put a specimen every day, carrying it away safely to a cabin which he shared with another Cornishrnan, who worked on the night shift. As his partner was absent when he was present, he had no trouble in se creting the ore, placing it each night under the floor of the cabin and keeping its presence and w hereabouts a secret. One morning he informed his partner that he was going to quit the Eberhard and leave the country. The partner must have been suspicious, for he only waited for the ore thief to get out of sight, when he tore up the cabin floor, ami, borrowing a horse and wagon, loaded up the 1800 pounds of stuff, and driving to Nevada' City sold it. He then disap peared, and the original thief never got a cent for his share of the plunder,—• [St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Imperial Tips.

A child with measles should be put to , bed in a well-ventilated room with a temperature of about 70 deg. Fahr. While warmth is essential, it is a mistake to wrap up patients in numberless blankets, and thus induce debilitating perspiration. A very mild case will re quire no medicine at all, except, perhaps a slight sedative if the cough is trouble some. All medical treatment that may be necessary had better be left to the doctor; if this were done complications would be less frequent. A simple milk diet is the best, with toast and some farinaceous food if desired. The patient should be kept in the sick room for a week after the cessation of fever, and not allowed to go out of doors for fully three > weeks or a month. In this way the com plications due to cold may be avoided. Finally, a child after recovery from measles should be guarded to see that its constitution has not suffered. Tonic treatment or change of air may stop such a change at the start.—[Health and Home. Fit* oi'Kneezing. i >. The nasal cavities are everywhere lined with mucous membrane, in which termin ate various nerves. To increase the sur- * . face of sensitive membrane, the walls of the cavities are not regular, but twu this bones, covered with membrane and nerves, swell out from the side, almost filling the cavities. These are called the “turbinated bones,’’from their top-like I shape. The nerves of smell are mainly in the upper part of the nasal cavities, where they directly connect with the “olfactory tract” of the brain. The nerves over the lower turbinated L, bone are wholly devoid of the sense of smell, but when unduly sensitive, give A rise to various troublesome ailments— hay fever, fits of sneezing, asthma.

The ‘ blood-supply to the nerves is excessive*'' In some persons the sneezing is violent, frequent, and continuous for many months. Sometimes the fits of sneezing give place to attacks of asthma. Hack, of Germany, is a strong advocate ■ for the use of the galvano-cautery in all ; ! such, and many allied, cases. Dr. De Haviland Hall of England, , . while thinking that too much is claimed *: for this remedy, says “That there are,, certain neurotic affections, the starting point of which is the nasal mucous mem- ' brane, cannot, I think, lie denied, and in these eases cure can be most readily effected by treatment directed to this ■ part.
