I P’OW THY HEART re
MEMBERS ME*
BY JAMES G. CLARK.
I know the heart remembers fiae
In all its pain and pleasure —
And oft my own goes back to thee,
Its last and dearest treasure ;
’Tis time to gaze on stormy seas.
And view its wreck of glory there,
And thine to feel life's morning breeze
Udmixed with all chill despair.
[ sometimes call tihe world my home,
The world which has bereft me ;
Atd dream awiiile th&t joys will come
As bright as those that left me !
And then some wounded bird will stray
jFrom memory 's track of withered flowers
To flutter o'er my future way,
And sing the disge of holier hours.
The day that died on yonder height
Shalllive again to-morrow — v
Biit.when the heart goes down in night,
It finds no morn frpm sorrow; H .
The frown of night, the smile of dawn,
Will vainly bloom to gild the sky—
’Tis always night when thou art gone,
’Tis ever day when thou art nigh.
Thou may's* net feel that I Lave loved
As man no more may love ibee —
Until the vows of men have proved,
Vain as the clouds above thee;
But down the burial vale of years
My words will rise with mem ries rife.
Like grave-stones wet with useless tears,
Wnich cannot call the dead to Life.
A boy thirteen years old a few days ago
put a false head into a flour barrel, procur
ed four quarts of peanuts and poured them
over the head so as to make one think he
had a barrel!nl, and then took his station
on woodland avenue, and cried out, All
these pearthWfor ten shillings.” A g roeer
passing by whipped out, the money like a
streak of lightning, and the boy got away
before the trick was discoved.

FOR THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL :
BAIXBRIDGE &A-, JULY 19th, 1873;
i Terrible Fall and Heath o t an
Aeronaut. ,
j Special Di%atch to the Chicago Tribune."
Dxtsoix, July 9. 1873.
Mail reports give some interesting
of the fatal accident to the
seronant LaMountaiu at lonia, last
Friday. His balloon is what as
known as a hot - »ir one, &hc( was
simply filled with ratified air, and
hot gas. The canvas had somewhat
of a worn '‘appearance, as if the
worse for being filled with lieated
air too often. At the summit, where
the canvas was sewn together, a
block some ten or twelve inches in
diameter was fastened, and through
a holp in this six guy ropes were se
cured, hanging down over the sides
of the balloon, being at the bottom
some seventeen 1 feet apart, and these
were tied to the basket by the Pro
fessor himself. There tfbre po ropes
running around the room horizon
tally to keep the guy ropes fiom
slipping or to prevent the whole
‘thing from sliding out between the
ropes with a gust of wind.
At 3:3f> p. m., the professor step
ped into the basket, and the balloon
took a shoot up almost perpendicu
lar, with the Professor swinging
his hat to the crowd, all apparently
enjoying the sight. In a few mo
ments more, however, the medth of
the balloon was observed to wave
about two or three times, then to
pass between the ropes, careening
over oh the side, when the ropes
broke out from their fastenings at
the and the fall 6ornmehced.—
La Mouutain was noticed to be ap
parently making some effort to get
the basket above him, aud if possi
ble to break the fail, but after toe
first struggle h * feM so rapidly that
n itliing could be di-tiftguished b it
the falimu body, Lis hat Qom.no
after him about on.: h imired feet or
more behind, the old canvas, nearly
colapsed, falling down gradually.—
The body struck the' ground half a
dozen feet from the northwest cor
ner of the jail building.. It struck
witli such a terrible tlmd that it jar
red the ground sot fifty rods around
and made ah indention in tha sou l
ground eight inches in depfli. There
• was senreeley a rone in the whole
body not broken into fragments. It
was as limp as a rag. There were
very few fractures in the skin, except
the right foot, the bone of thq right
leg driven thiough the bottom
of the foot. ...
The body, was laid out on a
couch, a circle formed, and a pro
cession of all who wished to view
the remains passed around, Tfie
Professor is a brother of the cele
brated aeronaut who died two or
tbx-pe years ago. This one s name
was Edward LaMountain. He was
a jeweler by trade, and lived at
Brooklyn in this .''tate. He had
said just bes re lie went up that he
wished to take th©; train for home
as soon as possible after coming
down, as his wife was very sick. He
himself bad not had his clothes off
for ten days.
There were from ten to twelve
thousand people who witnessed this
horrible tragedy. He was seen by
people four miles from the city at an
an 6 le of thirty five degrtts. The
best estimates* make the height from
wh ch he fed from one' tLousand to
fifteen hundred feet. Those who
were on the hill back of the town
said the strangest sight was to wit
ness the people swaying back and
forward like a field of wheat moved
by the wind* ....
Just as life instance canvassers
were beginning to get tired after
their winter tours aud the rustic
population hoped % peace
and quiet,' the season of thunder
showers set in, and the rural districts
swarm with lightning-rod agents,
who won't take no for an answer.

Warm bread “packs” the stomach
—Don’t eat it.
f.tie best and safest tooth Wash is
tepid water.
Never sit or sleep with cold feet.
A mixed diet of animal aud vege

Yfater standing for some time in
a room becomes impure, by absorb

All sleeping rooms should be tho
roughly ventilated. The bedding
should be often changed and kept
well aired.
‘Hay Fever’ may be instantly re
lieved by bathing the nostrils and
clp-ed'eyelids with spirits of 6am

W hoever eats “heavy” piecrust* or

against his physicial well-being and
must pay the penalty.
Thoroughly cleanse the cellar.—
Ventilate it from without, summer
aud winter! Suffer no decayed veg
etables to remain in it.
Colds are often caught by stand
ing in aft open hall or doorway du

of the cold and warih currents cau
ses the trouble.

A farmer and his wife called at a
Detroit photograph gallery, last
week, to order some photographs of
her, and, while the operator was
getting ready, the husband gave the
wife a little advice as to how she
must act: “Fasten your mind on
something,” he said, “or else you
writ laugh and spile the job. Think
about early days, how your father
got in jail, and your mother was an,
old scoMder, and what you’d have
been if I hadn’t pitied you, Jest
fasten your mind on thatl” She
didn,t have any photograpW taken.
■ Recent Fbench Discovebies. —The
following is a translation from
La Bien Public An. agriculturist
has (discovered, it is said, the means
of preserving the grape vine from its
most dangerous enemy, the phylloxe
ra, a sort of vine fretter or vine grub.
It seems by mixing soot with the
earth around the. roots of the vine
the insect is paralyzed and is killed.
Secondly, a discovery curious
enough has been made recently.
An agriculturist has observed that
by watering vegetables and fruit
trees with a s drition off sulphate of
iron, the most astonishing results are
obtained.
Beans have gained sixty per. cent
on their ordinanr size, and, what is
better, their taste is much more
Savory. Among fruit trees, the pear
tree is most bc-nefitted by'this pro
cess of watering.

, A Rare Curiosity. -A remarkable
boy was to be seen atilije Nashville
depot yesterday; in fact one of the
greatest curiosities of the age. He is
half white and haif black, not fn the
mulatto arid'miscegenation sense, but
tile lower iralf of his body is whiter
than white folks usually are, while
the upper portion is as black as
midnight. H:s motfier a <jold black
negress, was with him, und they left
on th*. Nashville train at seven
o’clock last evening. He is bijt three
years old, and has already made
money out of his peculiarities. Re

year or tWcj it has been stated in the
