OVER THE HILL FBOII THE
POORHOUSE.
I, who was always counted, they say,
Bather a bad stink anyway,
Splintered all over with dodges and
tricks,
Known es 'the worst of the Deacon's six,'
I, the truanb, saucy and bold,
Teo one blank sheep in my father's fold,
"Once on a tithe," as the stories say,
Went over the hill on a Winter's clay—
Over the bill to the poorhouse.
Tom could save what twenty could earn ;
But givip' was somethin' he ue'er would
learn ;
Isaac could half o' the soriptur's speak—
Committed a hundred verses a week ;
Never forgot and never slipped ;
But "Honor thy father and mother" he
skippecl ;
So over the hill to the poorhouse.
As for Susan, her heart was kind
And good—what there was of it, mind,
Nothin' too big and nothin' too nine,
Nothin' she wouldn't sacrifice
For one elle loved ; and that 'ere one
Was herself, when all was said and done.
And Oharley and 'Baca meant well, no
doubt,
Bet any one could pull 'em about.
And all o' our folks ranked well, you see,
Save one poor fellow, and that wee me ;
Aum when, one dark and rainy night,
A neighbor's horse went out o' sight,
They hitched on me, as the gtnity chap
Who parried one and o' the halter -strap.
And 1 tbink,mysef, that view o' the 0000
wasn't altogether out o' plane ;
My mother denied it, as mothers do,
But I am inolined to believe 'twas true,
Though for me ono thing might be said—
Thet I, as well as the horse, was lead ;
And the woret of whiskey spurred mo on,
Or else the deed would have never been
done.
13111 the keenest grief I ever felt
Was when my mother beside me knelt,
And ariod and prayed, till I Incited clown,
Ae I woaldn't for half the horn's in town,
1 kissed her fondly, then and there,
And swore henceforth to bo honest and
square.
I served my sentenoe—tt bitter pill
Some fellows should take who never will ;
And then I decided to gu 'bub West,"
Couoludin"twould suit my health the
13001 ;
Where, how I prospered, I never oould
tell,
But Fortune seemed to like me well,
And somehow every vein I struck
Was always bubbliu' over with 1nak,
And better 1110,0 that I was steady and
true,
And put my good resolutions through,
But I wrote to a trusty old neighbor, and
said,
"You tell 'em, old follow, that I am dead,
And died like a Obriebian ; 'twill plsoeo
'em more
Than if I had lived the same as before."
But when this neighbor he wrote to me,
"Your mother's in the poor.houso," says
he,
I had a resut'reetiou sbraigbtway,
And abated for her that very day,
And when I arrived where 1 00110 grown,
I took good pare that I shouldn't be
known -
But I bought the old voltage, through

To fix it up as it was of old.

Then—over the hill to the poorhouse 1
Ono blowin', bla:Omrlu', Winter's day,
With a team and putter I started away ;
My fiery nage were to black as that,
(They thine at resembled the horse 1

I bitched and entered the poor house

A poor 0'11 w0m111 was a:rubble' the

She rose to her feet in groat surprise,
And looped, quite elartled, into my eyes ;

And maybe we didn't live happy for years,
In spite of my brothers' and 8ieiere'

Who often said, as I have heard,
That they wouldn't own a prison bird,

For all of '001 awe me mo a or loss)

generally, that nervous energy or
nervous impnlses which pass
along the nerve fibres, were only
other names for electricity.
This seemingly plausible state-
ment was accepted for a time,
brit has been completely aban-
doned since it has been proved
that the nerves are not good con-
ductors of electricity,and that the
velocity of a nervous impulse is
but 100 feet per second—which
is very much slower than that
of electricity. It is now gener-
ally agreed that nervous energy,
or what we are pleased to call
nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a
mysterious force, in which dwells
life itself.
A very eminent specialist, who
has studied profoundly the work-
ings of the nervous system for
the last twenty-five years, has
lately demonstrated that two-
thirds of all our ailments and
chronic diseases are due to cle-
rangecl nerve centres within or at
the base of the brain.
All know that, an injury to the
spinal cord will cause paralysis
to the body below the injured
point. The reason for this is,
that the nerve force is prevented
by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion.
When food is taken into the
stomach, it comes in contact
with numberless nerve fibres in
the wall of this organ which at
once send a nervous impulse to
the nerve centres which control
the stomach, notifying them of
the presence of food ; whereupon
the nerve centres send down a
supply of nerve force or nerve
fluid, to at once begin the opera-
tion of digestion. But let the
nerve centres which control the
stomach bo deranged and they
will not be able to respond with
a sufficient supply of nerve force
to properly digest the food, and,
as a result, indigestion and dys-
pepsia make their appearance.
So it is with the other organs of
the body, if the' nerve centres
which control them and supply
them with nerve force become
deranged, they are also derang-
ed.
The wonderful success of the
remedy known as the Great
South American Nervine Tonic
is duo to the fact that it is pre-
pared by one of the most
eminent physicians and special-
ists of the age, and is based on
the foregoing scientific discovery
It acts directly on the nerves,
and possesses marvellous powers
for the cure of Nervousness, Ner-
vous Prostration,Headaehe,Sleep-
lessness, Restlessness; St. Vitus's
Dance, Mental Despondency, Hy-
steria, Heart Disease, Nervous-
ness of Females, Hot Flashes,
