FORGETFULNESS.
In the toils of the day, in the dreams
of the uight,
In the golden glow when the sun
goes down,
In the morning sunbeams shining
bright,
One thought like a phantom fol
lows me,
And over the face of the cold, gray
lea
The rustling leaflets, sere nnd brown
Wbisjier a story of sad regret,
And murmur softly, ‘’Forget, forget."
For lbe crosses that come in this work-
a-day world
Cast a shadow dark o’er the livos of
•II,
And wo sooner win that crown cmpcarl
ed,
When we bravely bid our sorrows
K«b
Clucking the hot tears’ ceaseless
flow
Cheering some heart that seems to
full
If those w ho smile should frown and
fret,
This heart of ours never forget.
And ’tis wrong in this life, which is
short at the best,
To lie grieving here, when there’s
work to do;
For til*, soul that lives in the land of
rest
Is happier there than hero in life,
And knows that for us in tllo
world’ sgreat strife
'Tis betlt r tar if the tears are few,
And we kuown each niglu, when the
sun is set,
There is one day less that wo need for-

ONE NIGHT’S DISSIPA
TION.
. A TUBE INCIDENT,
‘Oh, ye^ dear, I know Ihe band
wagon passed. I could not shut my^
ears to its music nor to the voices of
the rude crowd following, hut 1 al
moBt wished I was deal.’
‘VVhy do you ask ? It is loo sad u
story lor such ycung cars, and yet I
think I coujd bear to. tell it, dear, if
only I might hope it would iiiffueuce
you in ver, never to attend those plus
ce8 of low amusement; not only the
circus, but all of its class.’
It seems to me only yesterday that
just such another procession passed
through our little town, its gay mu
sic and display of animals attracting
all the boya within reach. Your un
cle Will was just twenty then, and
as good a boy as any you know', as
kind, us noble, and as generous; a
favorite 1 with i very One, u comYort to
us all. lie came in hastily at noon
that day saying, ‘Give me u lunch,
mot her, I’m off'to the circus.' ‘Oh,
Will, it is not worth going io,* I an
-w led, ‘W <y not lake vour gun and
ihig f >r a bunt instead ?’
‘No, no, in •ther,’ be replied,‘all the
boys are going and we’ll have a line
tune.’ He kissed me good bve a few
moments later aed I watched him
pass lightly down the walk whistling
merrily.
l’he afternoon wore away. I was
busy, but new and then paused to
catcli the faint sound of the circus
music .nid 'lie muffl'd . ppluuse of
the motley crowd. The hour came
lor tea, but Will had not returned;
your grandfather, too, was absent and
1 knew would not be with us until
the rn-xt morning when lhe euriv
train came in. So after waiting a
while, your mother and I sat dowr,
together, feeling a little lonesome
without \\ ill’s cheery face and voice
at’ the table Nine o’clock came,
ten, twelve, still lie did not c<>nie.
Almost sick with anxiety I waited
and watched ; there was no one to
send out to inquire for him, and I
could do nothing but wait. The
slow hours dragged away, sometimes
I though’ I must go myself, it was
such torture to sit idle. He bad
never before s'ayt’d from home u sin
gle niglu without, coming t0 t «M me
just where he wou’d be, und to gain
my c nisent. At lust the paie, un
certain glimmer of dawn stole
through the window. The blinds
were closed but I c • 111 d look through
into the yard, and suddenly thought
I saw acme movement of the gate.
Yea. it opened noiselessly, and very
slowly and cautiously two figures en
tered, I could have screamed in the
intensity of my dread and apprehen
sion, but sat motionless, straining
my eyes to see the persons approach
ing. I hey came nearer, were on
the dooi step by the window. I did
not rfcwjpiiz’* diem, hut directly' one
spoke: ‘Now Will, old fellow, you’ll
be all right after a little sleep; get
in ns quietly ns possible,’ What
could it mean? One of the men
turned and Went stealthily dr.wn the
walk, the oilier, with u si range fumb
ling about the door entered, und I
heard unfamiliar steps pass through
the hall, up the s'litis, and then en
ter your uncle Will's room. I was
almost wild with fright. Something
terrible -must have Inippem-d, und
tins man had c one mt some errand
for him. A I- w moments i eat wait,
ing and then crept into the ball and
up the stairs. ‘Tin y are trying to
keep it Irom me,’ 1 thought, but 1
must know, the suspense is uireudn
ruble.
Soon after lea 1 had lit die lamp
U) Will’s room and it was still burn
ing, the faint light showing through
the opening of die door. I drew near
er, scarce breathing, and grasped the
railing of the stair lor support 1
gazed into the loom, but SiW no one,
until looking towards the bed 1 dis
covered the figure of a man thrown
carelessly across, und listening 1
caught the sound of heavy, labored
breathing. 1 d d not see die lac
took his first drink and witli them ht
went for the first time to the saloon
und spent the night in drinking and
gambling. Returning home under
the iHluenoo of liquor he was only
half himself, but was sufficiently
conscious to feel tho terrible depres
sion resulting. Ami so, said to me,
to his mother, *1 im tired of living.’
Evil companions had worked his
ruin.
No, we have never told you of this
great sorrow before. 1 could not
have brought myself to doituow
save for the hope that you will prom
ise me not to go to-day. That you
will promise me to shun always these
platvs ot low amusement which inva
riable u tract the dissipated and vi
cious.

TOO LATE
The meeting of lour old stu
dents of Madison Univnvityut the
General Association ot Went Vir
ginia in November last, suggested
a singular and iustrnctivfl ease of
incurable iuteinpurauco. As ru-
Membere l by uh. H. W. was a am
of genius, and seemingly a cliilfl of
the devil. Tho rqpuplloction of
the writer is that on tho morning
of the commencement the eubjeot
of “The Ana-Baptist" was given
him for a speech, and tlmt he eloc-
111 l ■ . —
umiimtian of the three thotwond ca-

perforate tho brain, it is physically
impossible for drink to bo con
trolled by tho volition of the mind,
TI icso victims ol intomperance are
most anxious to be delivered from
their bondage, but it is too fate,
so fir as tho tfoxvor rff #1Tf goes.'
Nothing short of tho graco of God
can break the frightful servitude.

sudden horrible thought possessing
me. Softly I approached the bed
and passing to the oilier side, bent
over the sleeper. 1 knelt by his side
and hi id my hand upon his (lushed,
feverish face. I sank upon the-floor;
it was mv boy, my Will.
lie opened his eyes slowly. I must
have groaned, sun !y I did not speak,
but be answered in words which at
first 1 did not understand. 1 pressed
my cheek against Ids artd think Ili<-
hot tears raining upon his face nuts'
huvesobeied him, for directly 1 felt
him move and knew that Ids arm
was about me.
‘Don’t, don’t, mother, I can’t stand
it. Oil God! Oh God ! forgive me.’
‘What is it, Will, where have you
been?' I asked, when i could control
my -voice.
‘It is whisky and the gambling
hell,’ he said with a groan. The
hours dragged away and after awhile
wtjen he seemed sleeping I crept from
the toom knowing it was almst time
for il e train. Soon your grandfather
came. I knew it could not bo con
cealed from lii.n and together we sat
and spoke in whispers then went to
the room upstairs.
He lay almost as I had lelt him,
but a step into the room and my
heart almost stopped beating. The
blood was slowly oozing from his
throat, a knife lay near. 1 tinew'my
self by bis side. ‘Will! Will! my
buy!' He only whispered, •! could
not stand it, mother; I’m tired of
living ’
Your grandfather rushed from the
room and sent for our physician, then
returned and knelt by the bedside. I
nad bound a towel about ‘lie wound,
but the red drops came faster and
(aster.
‘Oh, my darling, look to Jesus, call
upon IIis name.’ I waited for an
uns v'er and caught the whispered
words, ‘It is too late, too late.’
They wer;* bin last, a hull hour and
he was gone. . . . -. And now
<lo you wonder why I turn uway
from the c rcus music—thut I shud
der when I hour it pass—that my
heart trembles when J. hear you
speak of going.
At the circus he met the wild,
reckless ho s who always gather at
such places. With them he watched
the degrading performance and laugh
ed at the rude jests. With them he
and ihe r*x . ' was t>>o dark even to
ght possessing U '* H know t!jat ,]i '*
occurred, which is mentioned
to indicate his moral character
IIis father, proud of liin wplendid
boy, qanjo to tho ooiymenocniont
and D. V. told him to wait in D.’s
room until ho caind for him.
W1 ion no called for his father the
commencement exorcise wero all
ovor! Sui li was the errutio career
of this youth of power and of sin
that an indignation meeting wan
hold in tho chapel to rebuke his
conduct. He walked down Ihe
uiido and took a seat lacing the
whole audienoo of students, und
after their tirades, ho arose, and in
five minutes lie threw tho whole af
fair into Much ridicule that iho
meeting broke up in confusion, and
with uo vote ol consuro.
To stimulate his groat efforts D.
\V. drank whiskey, lie became its
slave.. He threatened to prosecute
the bar-keepers if they gav* him
lqtuor; and yet ho implored it on
hm knees. lie became a sot and a
suicide . and now lies in a Potter’s
field. What is the explanation?
Let us got first a fact or two more:
Wo plead with an eminent physi
cian once to desist from the de
structive courso of drinking intoxi
cating liquors. On a Saturday
night he wrote ns that if it cost his
life ho would never toueli again
the accursed thing. On Monday
morning wo wero sent for to
witness our lrieud in a state of co
ma. He must have been drinking
all of Sunday. What wst the ex
planation? Let us see ono more
case: Another professional man,
than whom there was no superior
in his State, declared in puulic,
and in our presence, tlmt he would
never touch again a drop of alcho-
holic drink, lie drank to shame
find died crying for brandy. His
father died the same way; and his
son, the most scholarly young man
we ever Knew, is following the foot
steps of his father and grand-sire.
What is tho explanation? It is
simply this: They could not stop
drinking. Dr. Day. formerly of
tho Bighampton Inebriate Asy
lum, Jins demonstrated, on the ex-
The Homestead «uys that Mr. l, t
F. Norris, of Keokuk, Iowa, in very
cofidont that ho has discovered a
| simple nnd effectual rofnedy lor
for hog cholera. It is ffateedd
boiled in water and mixed 1?Mi the
food of annuals, lie fcoil* } n
plenty of wntor fbr two hours’hiid
grre* each hog ntWelHed «bout a-
teaspoonlul ot seed mixed with the
swill. Make a note of this! nnd
try it if you have any troub
le with the cholera among tho
swiue.
To remove frecklefl irom your
faco, take one ounce ot bitter aim-
ouds, one ounco of buriey Hour,
nmf a sufficient quantity of honey;
beat tho whole into a smooth paste,
spread it thinly on tho skin at
night, and wash it oil in the morn
ing. It is froqnontly possible to re
move freckles without decompos
ing them,by merely stimulating the
absorbent vessel* of the skin.
1< A T JENIN G A NJMALS.
Excessive drinking of water by
farm animals is said to consider the
consumption of fat in the body. Too
watery fodder und to much drink

especially in fattening, it wo wish

FLOWING FOR GRASS SEED.
Tho prevalent idea that shallow
plowing is sufficient for grass *eed
is an erroneous one. Unlike corn
tho roots of which keep near tho
surface and require heat, the roots
of grass require depth, moisture and
cokler soil.
A Farmer says :—“Four years
ago my barn was fearfully infested
with rats. They were so numer
ous that 1 had great fear of my
whole crop being destroyed by
them after it was housed; hut,
having two acres of wild peppej*
xnilit in a field of wheat, cut and
bound with the wheat, it drove the
rate from my premises. 1 have not
been troubled with them since
while my neighbors' have any
quantity of them. I feel convinc
ed that any person who is troubled
with these pests could easily get
rid of thembv gathering a good
supply of mint and placing it
uround iho walls or base of their
barns.
