What tender rmeiniscences come thront,Ting on the brain, When in dreams I hear the singing of the kettle on the crane— Hear it singing, singing, gingin;s, Loud and merry, fast and slow; Hear it murmur, 'murmur, murmur, Soft and low. There's the broad, wide-open chimney, with its roaring, crackling fire. Built up with logs of gen'rous size to make the flames leap higher ; And, near, the waiting table stands, spread boun- tiful and plain, 1\ hile cheerily the kettle -sings and sings upon the crane. tion brine. Grandmother in the corner sits, and softly to and fro She rocks and dreams of friends and scenes in days of long ago. Her face grows sweet and tender as the past comes up again, While listening to the singing of the kettle on• the crane. see the children caper, as .with gleeful laugh and call, They watch the dancing pictures of the shadows On the wall, And hear the baby cooing to the mother's low refrain, Then follows the soft music of the kettle on the Crane. And, ere the evening hour is done, with linger ing step and slow, A )outh and smiling maiden come, and in the embers' glow They read the future's story, ahd they see a wed- ding train, And bells chime with the singing of the kettle on the crane. These precious old-time Memories, they hold me - like a spe:t— The eloek upon. the mantle, where I learned the time to tell; The simple, homely furniture, the keepsakes few and plain,.-• And the murmuring of the kettle as it hung upon the crane. Oh! there's bliss supreme in home, when its joys are pure and sweet, And life's most sacred memories around the . - hearthstone meet,. And the tenderest thoughts and saddest ones malt borne upon the strain of the singing of the kettle as it hung upon the crane.. - Hear it singing, singing, singing, Loud and merry, fast and slow; Hear it Murmur, murmur, murmur, Soft and low. --Barbara Deane.

The congrega- tion met at the usual: hour, and the absconded minister was "cried" in the customary manner, but no sooner had the last wOrd been uttered than is most lugubrious voice came fOen the pulpit— "The Lord bless and pity us" (67th Psalm). A general titter burst from the congregation, and the blush ot the officiating minister was a genuine verdict of "not suiltiy." A schoolleacher says rid man living knows every one of the 73,000 words in Webster's dictioeaty., There is probably no period in a mite's life when he finds it necessary to know -them all; but there often comes times when he feels as if he could use about 73,000 words not found in Webster. At such a time he gener- ally invents a few emphatic words to fit the occasion. The Horrid brute Wouldn't *. Start. In the way most women manage horses there is something that causes the aver- age man to believe that providence does protect us. A lady stepped into her sleigh the other day, and, taking up the reins, talked to her horse something like this: "Get Up !" "Go on, Billy !" "Get up ! Get up !" "Billy, why don't you go'?" You horrid brute !" What a stupid !" The horse, despite all this, stood still. Then his mistress spoke to a gentleman who had been watching her: Can you make this animal start, air ? " He politely bowed, cause forward, Un-' hitehed the horse and patted him on .t he cheek. Thee the "horrid brute" 'and "Stupid animal" started. An Easy Cure' For Dread Diphtheria. TAR SMOKE A SURE REMEDY.: . Ruth Leek woad, the nine-year-old child of Thomas Lockwood, a boreposi- tor in the New York Times office, be- came violently ill with diphtherial on a Tuesday night. She was so weak that it was deemed dangerous to try tracheo tomy or cutting open the' windpipe.. On Thursday Dr. Niehols, of 117 West Washington place, who was attending her, received -a copy of the Paris Figaro, which contained a report made to the French Academy of Medicine by Dr. Delthil, who said that the ,Vapours ef liquid tar and turpentine would dissolve the fibr•inous exudationswhich choke up the throat in croup and diphtheria. Dr: prooess was described. .Ele pours equal parts' of turpentine and liquid tar into a tin pan or cup and sets fire to the mixture. A dense resinous smoke arises, which obscures the -air of the room. "The patient," -Dr. Delthil says, " immediately seems to experience relic -f; the choking and rattle stop; the patient falls into a slumber and seems to inhale the smoke with pleasure. The fibrinous membrane soon • becomes de- tached, and the patient coughs up micro- bicides. These, when caught in e, glass, may be seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the course of three days afterward the patient entirely recovers." Dr. Nichols tried this treatment with little Rose Lockwood. She Was lying gasping for breath when he visited her. First— pouyingaiabout two tablespoonfuls of liquified tar on an iron pan he poured as much turpentine over it and set it on fire. The ri2h, resinous smoke which rose to the ceiling. was by no means un- pleasant.. As it . filled the room the child's breathing becanle natural, and as. the smoke grew dense' she.. fell asleep, with the results as above. ' - An Amateur Emigrant in Castle Garden. An English newspaper' correspondent —following the example of his London associat.Is who have in the last few years investigated the poor -houses, the lunatic asylums, the Loudon slums,. and the American western immigrant trains, as- sociating as equals in dress and pocket with their fellow -travelers or fellow. in- mates of the occasion—has lately relatiel in the " Pall Mall " his experience in the steerage. of an ocean steamer and at Castle Garden. His description of some of the scenes in the great receiving place of the new corners is decidedly pictur- esque. In -general he speaks highly of the reception of inunigraut by our authorities, though his self assumed poverty put him more than once to a sevete trial. He says "Inside a huge pen we kenged and squatted, while the cool, peremptory officers dealt with some 500 pilgrims who had landed before us. Lager -beer was on sale, and those who had money beguiled their time by swilling the washy stuff and devouring dubious sand wicheS. The fold where -our cattle sted was warm enough, but I though the pro- bation would never end. Ye there was much to interest the rbind Italian, German, ,French, Sceridinevian and Irish immigrants swarmed in _thick groups in the wide area, and e Try green , gave materials for a story. II was forced to admire the wonderful paid ewe of the exiles. They had nothing to amuse them, but they sat 'Atli dag'ged stillness gazing on the ground said waiting— waiting. The Germans Seem made for et durance. Under . circumstances that would drive a mercurial man Mad they sit in wooden contentureht — noticing nothing, complaining of nothing, and apparently dwelling apart from the world in some ettangecirele where brain and nerve and stomach are quieted under a friendly opiate. Would the hours nevergo ? My feet ached, my head was hot, amid I think the -thirst of Ishmael possessed me, while _the mazy lines of fellow sufferers wound round and round me with bewildering complexity. At last I was directed to join a queue that stood opposite a wicket. . A sharp, kindly clerk said ` Your • name ? Age? Where from? Where are you bound to? Can we help you ?' , Then he gave me a bright nod and smile (for which I now most gratefully return thanks) and sent me on my way. For some hours I walk- ed among my shipmates. They settled mostly in a resigned way to wait their trains for the might - \Vest, and I fancied I could see man' of them bracing themselves to endure the last -stroke of bitterness -until their r lease came." "I had a -pretty sha 'p experience of ' what may befall an insufficiently pro- vided traveler who th'isks to pick up immediate employmen in this cnuntry. After buyitig my retur ticket I left'rey- self just eh cc the aim which I fancied might be o ned by t e average Irish peasant, a . d, to my great concern, I found my utids dribbling away. Five cents- is the price of the pettiest article of food here, and no smaller suin is of very much avail. I eked out my pittance as well as possible, ate only one meal a -day, and loafed about in grimy quarters, studying the immigrents and waiting for the -departure of the steamer. When- ever I could, I had keg conversations with rowdies on the wharves, Irish roughs in the slums, and loungers in the German bars. For fi% ce cents one can get a glass of lager beerand leave to sit down for an home I used this privilege to great purpose. At length I came to my last dime, and I wanted a lodging. In a dreary quarter called Five Points II sought for some cellar to lay my limbs, 'for I did not want. to run into debt. Through one dripping passage. I crawled to a hole from which laughter and swear- ing sounded. The stench that burst out when the door Was opened hit me like the blow of a closed fist, but I pushed in. About twenty wretches sprawled on the floor like a welter of snakes'; a few mord sat on stone ledges smoking and' talking; and a repulsive hag sat by a •beerbarrel and presided over all. I was seized by clamorous Hibernians who demanded beer, butI escaped, and shoals the stench off in the purity of the chilly night. This was amateur emigration With a vengeance. I traveled wearily until morning; then I went to a great newspaper office, and as a last resort, presented a letter. A sleek young man, who iodised like a moral and intelligent tomcat, said, "Go and tell your story to some one else," and I suddenly realized the fact that I was alone. As I went -but I met a hearty young fellow who Wormed me that the feline youth was a presumptuous underling, and took me— homeless, dirty, vagrant—under his pro- tection. Henceforth all was e ell. I will not tell in full the story of the great English actor who picked me up, and finally rescued qe, as it tight bring the locusts around lafin in future, Suffice to say that he did see me through,' with graceful, unquestioning peliteness, and I got away once more to the steerage. "I have Shown _the repulsive side of out, life ; but, it is not all repulsive. We are very merry sometimes. This morn- ing broke very fine, and we all swarmed on deck very early. I take a few of Mr. James's books with me to read, but I soon grew dissatisfied. Those exquisite, faint, negative creations seemed poor amid the reeking tide of human life that eddied around me. Delicate hot -house -flowers like Isabel Archer and the Lady Barberina seemed useless and scentless beside the rank undergrowth that push- ed up from the foul soil of the steerage. Even my dear Daisy Miller, sweetest and saddest of dainty dream -lovers, was of less interest to n.e than was blowsy Bridget with her grubby face and hands. The accordions and fiddles were very busy, and we gathered in groups for dancing. Andy, the rosy Irishman, braced himself up in the ring, and poised with that deliberate buoyancy, which bespeaks the perfect. dance. A light - built Galway girl faced him, and they danced a jig which was. a model of grace and dexterity. The tattle of Andy's heel and toe as he set to his- partner, the flying spring of the tawdry girl, the sonorous thump that marked the bars, were all exhilarating. Then Andy danced a hornpipe, and finished with a masterly and complicated kick, which seemed destined to wipe my cap off. Then we saw the Swedes dance. A stout, blue eyed woman put off her goloshes, laid down hoe shawl, and stood forth arrayed in tight bodice and. neat brodakins. Nilso, the- tall farmer, 'bowed, offered his arm, 'and the couple swung round to a wild, gallopping waltz measure. They had to reverse very often, but they never jostled or faltered, and they were much applauded. Then the great soul of Andy was fired, and he stood forth for his country's honor. Ah thin, bhoys, we won't be after bein' bate by the Dutchmen. Ilay " Paddy O'Raffsrty," Riegel), my sonny, and. hhow them.' So Iscland was pi tted against the North, and I am bound to say Ireland won handsomely. Then we had polkas, schottisches, and mazurkas ; and- a Norwogian of the crew performed a pas seul in a style • which, for breath and freedom was quite without parallel in thy experience. Then a company of Germans. sang glees in very pleasant fashion ; time and harmony were alike correct, yet the choir were only a --scratch lot who ga.thered at random, and chose their parts at haphazard. The afternoon was full of light and -quick with cool airs blown from afar over the blossoms of foam, and we smug, and gambled, and laughed, and danced with much con- tentment. "The sunset was thrilling. Lucent waves of amber and yellow rolled -on the blinding horizon, and the upper spaces -of the bending vault were -full of rose and mystic blue. The waves lapped lazily on the surging hull, and the sense of the supreme hour stole on the heart ; splendor of ended day floating me, and tilling me. Little Cissy comes to kiss me good -night, and she snuggles her face on my shoulder and makes believe to pull my beard. Night exhales from the water, the boatswain's call shrills high, and the sailors move aft. Rest is here." The Experience of Mrs. Peters. Mrs. Peters had ills, Mrs. Peters had chills,, Mrs. Peters was sure she was going to die; They dosed her with pills, With powders and squills, With remedies wet, and with remedies dry. Many medicines hired her, But none of them cured:her, Their- names and their number nobody Could tell; ' And she soon might have died, But some " Pellets" were tried, That adted like magic, and then she got well. The magic "Pellets" were Dr. Pierce's pleasant Purgative Pellets (the original Little Liver Pills). They cured Mrs. Peters, and now she wouldn't be without them. • Emerson's Truth. Some years ago a certain American town treated itself to a set of lectures by eminent persons. A rich old -mer- chant, who was a tireless talker, some- times entertained the speaker of the evening, and usually found in him a patient listener to endless monologues on all conceivable topics. Mr: Giles, the essayist, was once his guest, and the good man who so dearly loved the sound of his own voice kept him, a weary listener, awake -until sun rise, having begun the one-sided conver- sation the eveninebbefore. - As they parted for the few winks of sleep that were left them, the gratified host said, with enthuidasm : "I like you, Mr. Cues; you are willing to hear what I have to say. Mr. Emerson -was here the other night after he had lectured and he said he did not wish to hear me talk—that he'd rather go to bed." • 1Yet Mr. Emerson had not been dis- courteous, but, as his biographer states, had mentioned his preference with the simplicity and directness of the ancient Greek philosopher.

Several years ago, James Birchard, of Darien, Conn., was severely ill. The doctors said he was in Consumption, and that they could do nothing for him, but advised him, as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry Peeteral. After taking this 'medicine, two or three months, ho" was pronounced a well man. His health remains good to the present day. J. S. Bradley, Malden, Mass., writes: " Three winters ago I took av4,-,re cold, which rapidly developed into Bronchitis and Consumption. I was so weak that I could not sit up, was much emaciated, and coughed incessantly. I consulted several doctors, but they AITTO Rower - less, and ,all agreed that I was in Con- sumption. At last, a friend brought me a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. From the first dose, I found relief. Two bottles cured me, and my health has since been perfect."
