NOTHING IS LOST.
■Billing is lost! the drop of dew,
HThat trembles on t|ie teat pr flower
Mh’it et halva, tolalTanew
■fn summer's thundershower:
WBrchance to shine within the bow
ITiiat. fronts the sun at. fall of day—
trchancWy sparklfein the flow,
JPI
iHfeught le>t. fpr even the tiniest seed,
Sly wihTTnrds borne, on breezes blown,
(Is something suited to its need,
Wherein ’tis sown and grown ;
Perchance finds FUsfOWnnce and soil
In some remote and desert place,
Or 'mid the crowded home of toil,
’ Sheds usefulness and grace.
The tattle drift of .common dust,
By the March winds disturbed and tossed,
Tnough .scattered by the fitful gust,
Is changed, but neyer lost ;
It may yet bear sonic sturdy stem,
/tome - proud oak battling with the blast,
Or drown with verduous diadem
Some ruin of the past.
Ml I ■
The furnace quenched. the flames put out,
Still cling to earth or soar in air,
Transformed, diffused and blown about,
To turn again elsewhere ;
Haply to make the beacon blaze,
That gleams athwart the living waste,
Or lh>Ul the social lamp, whose raj s •
Illume the home of taste.
The touching tones of minstrel dirt.
The breathing of some mournful flute,
Which, we have.heard with listening heart,
Are not extinct tvhen mute;
The hflgntW’of some household song,
The perfumes of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To memory’s after hour.
Sp yvith our jvords, or harsh or kind,
Uttered they are n'd all forgot,
But leave some trace upon the-mind,-
Pass on, but perish not;
A a they are spoken, so they.fall
VpoiT the spirit spoken to,
Scorch it like drops of burning gall,
Or soothe like honey dew.
So with our deeds, for good or ill,
They have their power,scarce understood,
Then let sis tfte our better will'
To make them rife with good ;
Like circles on a lake they go.
King within ring, and never stay,
Oh ! that our deeds were fashioned so
U»cy. ifig ht bless away !
Then, since these lesser things ne’er die,
But work beyond our poor control,
Bav, shall .tj,i?t suppliant for the sky
greater human soul ?
Ah, no iSitiir’Ann spurn the past,
sjU'ch tlie futiiie for .its rest,

Swret Oh. as a Remedy fok Poison.
—A plain.farmer writes: “It is now over
twenty years since I heard that sweet-oil
would cure the bite of it rattlesnake not,
knowing that it would cure other kinds of
poison. Practice and experience have taught
me that it will cure poison of any kind,
both on man and beast The patient must
take a"spoonful ol it internally, and bathe
the wound for a cure. To cure a horse it
takes eight limes as much as for a man.
One of the most extreme cases of snakebite
occurred eleven years ago. It had been
thirty days’ standing and the patient had
been given up by his physician. I gave
him a spoonful of the oil, ywhich effected a
' cure. It will cure bloat in cattle caused by
' fresh Clover. It will cure the stings of bees,
I spiders or other insects, and persons who
‘ have been poisoned by a low, running vine
called ivy.” - ’ ’
It you in lager find no bliss; 'and loathe
cigars—no child to kiss—mi wife to love—
no gal to hug—don’t seek- oblivion in the
i jug, and if you haven’t any sister, just ask
some chap to lend you his 2 to spark for a
’ little while—then “splice,” nnd all the rest
will dome in nice.
“I expect,’’ said a worthy Quaker, “to
< pass through the world but once. It, there
fore, there Ik* any kindness I can show, or
anything I can do for my felloW-inen,- lid
me do it now. Let me not' pass this . way
again.”
Smith, who ju4 recovered from a
spell of illness and paid a doctor's bill, says
he knows now what is meant by “physician
heel thyself.”
“Did my moustache trouble you?” said
i he to h< r. “No,” she sighed, “I only felt a
liylefidown in the mouth.”
