INFANTILE PAItALYSIS.
This is an acute disca-e of childhooI
co early adult life, the cause of which
remiene as great a mystery tc-day as it
was when Ilio affecti•in was first clear-
ly described by a French physician.

it part m clukiren rarely in those
j' ' bix or eight years of age, al-

ht summer, and sometimes coeurs at
that lime in small epidemics. An epi-
ttcmle of this kind erevuikd In New
j'ork City, and to other parts of the
country, during the late sump, i and
autumn of the last year.
The symptoms, which resemble In
their general character those of an in-
fectious disease, arti the fact of its oc-
castonal occurrence in epidemics, have
led the physicians to believe that it LS
due to the action of some microorgan-
tsrn; but the most diligent search has
as yet failed to discover any such cause.
The disease begins suddenly with fe-
ver, headache. tenderness on pressure,
or actual pain in the muscles; vomit-
ing, peevishness, and sometimes( al
though rarely, convulsions. There is
frothing definite in these symptoms to
lend the physician to suspect the real
stare of the melody, except in tune
of an epidermic, when any sudden fever
(excites suspicion.
The fever lash, as a rule, only two
or throe days, and on its sue fdence--
less often before it has disappeared—
the chill is seen to be paralyzed.
The course of the paralysis is pecu-
BOYHOOD'S DAYS.
This poem t ns composed and written
by the late Joseph Laughlin, Sr., Row•
manville, about the year 1862.
Dear boyhood duys when 1 loved to
stray
By the plccsant rifts that did gently
play,
Down by the meadows green;
Where the lark poured forth its tune-
ful lay
Through't the long, long summer day.
When 1 caught the trout in the mur-
muring stream.
These were the days of happiness,
That passed away in innocence,
And few were the caress of the morrow.
When youth and boyhood were in their
prince,
from the blighting hand of time,
life's perplexing sorrow.
boyhood days, how you've passed
away,
ace fur in the eve of manhood's
day;
Your fleeting breath to mourn.
I. sorrows 1 oft mourn my fate,
But, ah, alas, alas, too late—
Yeu 11 never on Earth return.
The verdant groves where oft I've Leen,
My strolls along the haunted stream,
Tho hills oft wandered o'er,
My boyish footprints in the snow—
All these bright visions haunt me so,
They oppress my heart full sore.
The hawthorns robed in richest bloom
Where the linnet sang its love -strained
tune,
Where oft I've l nger'ed near;
The primrose and the daisy gay,
Where 1 and brother oft did play;
Ah, ain't these memories dear?
liar. At first it is extensive, involving,
lperhaps, both legs, or an ern► and a
eg, and increases a tittle for three or
lour days. After that a turn for the
better occurs. The paralysis slowly re -
freaks, and strength returns in one
limb or one group of muscles at a
time.
At first the return of power is pro-
gressive and quite rapid, arousing hope
Of a perfect restoration; but that happy
termination Ls seldom reached. Usually
cne limb, more often a leg, remains
paralyzed, and the child is permanent-

although seldom entirely useless; the
IIAffected muscles waste away, extol if
the opposing muscles are not paralyz-
ed, they pull the part. often the foot,
to one side, and thus produce deform-
ity—in the case of the foot, a clubfoot.
The growth in the affected limb is also
retarded, so that the member lags be -
plot and is permanently shorter than
its fellow.
The disease is an inflammation of a
jimited portion of the spinal cord, and

My parents, whom 1 loved most dear,
Their voices 1 no longer hear;
All these have passed away.
The brother and sister group so dear,

This long and many a day.
The old door -stone where at evening
late,
Mother listened to the childish prate
Of the little group going on;
The room where stood my little bed,
Where mother pillowed oft my head—
All these loved scenes are gone.
Ah, can these memories pass away,
Or from my memory e'er decay?
Ah, never, never, never,
Till depth shall end my very last day
And lake me from this life away --
Then I'll remember ever.
But why nese 1 lament my fate,
0! mourn now when it is too laic?
Mankind have shored the same.

\Vhcre boyhood's days again shall

Never, never, to pass again.

A FISCAL CRASiI.
From time to Brno during the last
century the financial world of Europe
and America was shaken to its founda-
tional, many families formerly in af-
fluence Leung reduced to penury, and
many firsts of repute and standing be-
ing swept away. In less than fifty
years, from 1825 to 1870, no Icss than
six severe panics occurred in London,
that of 'tiff, Black Friday, having been,
perhaps, the severest of them all,
though not attended with such grim
desolation and universal havoc as the
crash which ensued at the bursting el
the South Sea Bubble.
And what a pitiable spectacle is pre-
sented when the announcement k
made of the stoppage of an important
financial institution, such as the great
Trust Company of New York, which
recently closed its doers. The street is
fitted with a surging snob of men and
woolen, some cursing, sonic weeping,
some, half distraught; with a stony
glare looking blankly into space. Ilere
is a strong roan, furious ani exaspee
sled, his fists clenche l in a lowering
rage pouring out the vials of his wrath
upon the unfortunate officials within;
here a widow, pale as death, and
trembling like an aspen leaf, as she
realizes that her all is engorged in the
insatiable maw of the palatial building,
Farewell my boyhood's days on earth;
Farewell sweet days of manhood's
mirth;
You've all pnssed like a dream.
Faith's anchored now beyond the skies,
Or endless rills and fadeless joys,
Where I'll be a boy again.
