RAYMOND. a 'Twas a terrible storm. I remember it as if it were yesterday, and yet I was a mere fehild. I awoke in the morning to hear the Wind moaning through the tree-tops "• and whistling through every cranny. Here and there on the chamber floor were small drifts of snow, and one, larger than Hie rest, covered the foot of my bed." "A real snowdrift on your bed, cran- dum?" "Yes, dear, a real snowdrift. I lay there listening to the storm and wishing "I were Op and dressed, when mother came to the foot of the stairs and called out, Matilda?' " ' Yes'iu,', I drawled out, and then smug- Jled down nmonglhe worm bed-clothes for ist a minute. Those minutes are gen­ erally rather long. I lay th^re watching my breath turn into White mist, thinking ' how cold it rnuat be and how I hated to get ®P- " 'Matilda.' ' This time it was father's voice, and no one ever thought of disobeying him or even waiting a second, when he was told to do anything. " 'Yes, sir, I'm coming,' I replied, as I bounded out of bed and hurriedly dressed. I took my shoes and stockings in my hand and ran down to the fire to put them on. "The boys were just coming up from the stable. Tom was carrying a pail of milk in one hand and breathing ou the other to keep it wurm. George ran ahead, striking his breast vigorously with his hands. Bill, who prided hiniRelf -on his strength and endurance, with neither coat nor mittens, walked leisurely along seeing how near he could come to hitting a mark in an old ap­ ple tree. "Mother lifted the breakfast smoking hot to the table. Those breakfasts!. lean see the large platter of sausage, the great dish of baked potatoes, the warm biscuits, the •teaming coffee; see lis as we gathered round the white pine table; hear father reverently asking grace and mother quietly responding, 'Amen.' Yes, I can hear and see it all. Sixty long years ago. Sixty years, can it be possible? Yes, sixty years. And where is that group now--father, mother, brothers? At re6t; all at rest." The gentle grandam paused, wiped the mist from her spectacles, passed the wrinkled hand tenderly over the curly lead resting on her knee, and then con­ tinued: "After breakfast father said he would take as to school. The boys thought the laneB Were too badly drifted, but father said he would try. "Mother filled our basket with bread and butter, doughnuts, and oookies, pie, and pickles, and then added several large rosy- cheeked apples. We wrapped up well, drew old Btockings over our shoes, and Just as father drove to the door we were fc-ady to start. He tcld the boys to bring •long the ax and a shovel, as it was more than likely he'd have to drive through Itoung's field. We had only driven a short distance on the road,when the snow became io deep that the boys let down the fence and we took to the field. When we reached Voting's their children got in, and as we . turned the corner we overtook the Henry boys, so that by the time we reached the school-house there was a merry load. "The school-house was Bituated on an open prairie, with not a tree in sight. The wind had piled a huge bank of snow just in front of the door, but the boys shoveled a path for the girls tq get in. The wind •wept through the cracks in the door, and two broken windows let in a regular gale; but Bill Kane staffed the windows with shawls and comforters, and as the old stove grew red-hot we began to take off our Wraps. "There was good ventilation in those days, tione of your doable windows and impure - sir to save coal, and no children going ^-iome in the middle ef the forenoon with lleadaches. "Snsie Blake froze her face and Mark lloore rubbed it with snow. Fannie King's -Sands were both frozen, and Kittie Barns' feet ached so she cried. "Finally seh«f4< w eallsd* and tfe* '• York began. \ "The storm increased daring the fore­ noon, and the wind grew so furious that it shook Ihe old schoolhouse and came up through eveiy crack in the floor. The snow tilled the lane till the fence-posts disappeared. "Just as school was dismissed for noon, father drove up from one direction and Jim Blake from the other. Tbev both seemed to think that by night the roads would be impassable. AVhi e we were bnudling np. Jim cried out, *Wal, 'Squire Day, I low this here is what yon might call a regular come down. Bill says as how every lane in the country will be blockaded. Say. have you seen Si Smith since he was last in town?' " 'No. Why?' " 'By gosh! if he didn't sell them old crit­ ters of Lis'n for 5 and 6 cents; 5 cents for the fore-quarters and 6 cents for the hind, peddled 'em out. He says ns how it's more'n likely some people'will need new teeth aforelong. He moved hi* to­ bacco to the other side of his mouth and continued: " 'I hearn from BillKonkey hogs has riz. And I'd like to let go of them four sboats that I got of you in the spring. I 'low (hev'll go nit'll onto twenty hundred, bnt I fed a powerful lot of corn. I shouldn't wonder if I'd like Tom and Bill to help butcher* as Lidney Jane is calculatiu' On the lard.' "By this time all the scholars going Blake's way were piled in his sleigh, and with a 'gerir-up thar, Nance,' and a 'go lang. Bill,' he started down the lane. Then lather drove up and we got in. "The night closed in very early. After supper was over and the chores all done, we gathered round the tire. Mother and I got out our knitting, and George brought down a bundle of papers from the loft. Tom Henry had tant him a whole year of The Firentde, an<f%e was reading a contin­ ued story aloud in the evenings. "The story was about a white girl that the Indians had stolen, and, if I remember, the chief wnnled her for his squaw. Her brother and lover were hunting for her. and they too were taken captive. George rend on and on and the story grew more exciting every chapter. Finally mother {rat her work away and lay down on an old ounge in the corner of the room. By this time George had reached the most inter­ esting part of the story. The Indians were tying the two men to stakes and were just lighting the fires, when mother half lose, looked wildly about, and then cried out in great agony: 'Help, help!' "Father ran to the lounge and tried to quiet her. but she still continued to call for help and to insist the woman was dying. "Finally she succeeded in telling us that she had fallen asleep and dreamed that out by the old walnut tree a team was stuck in a drift. She saw a man, a woman, and a child. The woman seemed to be uncon­ scious, for the man was trying to awaken heir, and the child was crying. "At last she was persuaded that it was only a dream, probably prompted by the storm and the exciting narrative. . "She lay down again and George resumed the story. He had only read part of a chapter, when mother started up once more and cried wildly for help. This time all reasoning was in vain. She insisted on the team being hitched up aud' a search made. "The old'walnut tree stood in the middle of the road just two miles west of our place. The night was pitch dark and the wind blew the snow from every direction. It seemed impossible to go that distance such a night, but nothing could dissuade mother. She insisted someone was lost in the snow, and that she would go herself if no one else did. She muffled father and the boys well up, and after putting a lot of matches in father's pocket, for the wind blew the lantern out nearly as soon as it was lighted, she told them again just where she saw the suffering people, and let them start off. "After they were gone she brought po­ tatoes from the cellar and got them ready to cook, sliced some ham, and put the tea­ kettle on. Then she sat down and waited. An hour passed. The wind moaned and sobbed around the house. The enow drifted in through cracks in the window. The candle burned out. She lighted a fresh one and put in more wood. I tried to read, but somehow the story had lost all its interest. Mother walked up and down, and every now ami then went to the door to look out. Another hour passed. The kettle's song was the only th;ng to break the awful silence. The very furies seemed to spirt with the ele­ ments. At last three hours were gone. Mother went to look out, and this time voices could be heard. Soou they drove up in front of the door, and father and George entered, bearing a woman in their arms. They laid her on the lounge, aud mother began rubbing her hands aud feet aud applying restoratives. 1 No sooner was the man seated than he fainted, but he soon came to. The child, a little boy about my age, the^i cried a great deal, but Tom rubbed his hands and face and kept him from the fire. "After some time they all seemed quite easy, and then mother and I set the table and prepared a good warm supper. While we were at supper, father told ns how they found them. "He said: 'In the first place I bad no idea anyone was there, but somehow, Mary's dream impressed me strangely. The boys went ahead with the lantern and tramped down the snow, and in places shoveled a path. Where it was impossible to get through, we let down the fence and went throught the fields. At last the old walnut tree came in sight. We reached it and were just about giving np the search, when we heard a moan. Cutting our way through, we came across a team nearly buried in a huge drift. Mrs. Wyland. that was their name, had fallen into a stupor and Mr. Wyland was trying to awaken her by shaking hej vigorously, but his strength was nearly gone, and ltobin, the little boy, was crying piteously. We succeeded in digging the cutter loose and--well--here they all are now safe and sound. "Then they had to hear mother's dream, and Mrs. Wyland told how once she. fouud a pocket-book by seeing where it was hidden in her sleep. Mr. Wyland said his mother saw her only sister once in a dream, suffer­ ing great agony, and the next day they heard she came very nearly dying at the exact time. And BO the night passed till a new day began. "The next day the storm continued, so it was impossible for the travelers to start. Mother and Mrs. Wyland spent the day chatting, Mr. Wyland and father discussed the condition of the country, and Robin and I popped corn and made molasses candy. "On the following morning the storm had cleared, but the roads were terribly drifted. The Wylands were persuaded to remain till the roads were partially opened." "Wyland! Why, grandma, that's your name." "Yes, dear, and Robin Wyland was your grandfather." Well Invested Money. In 1850 a duel with pistols waa fought by two French editors--Charles Blane and Fratfcis Lacombe. At the first fire Lacombe fell on the ground, the ball of his adversary having strck him on his belt. Happily, he had in his watch pocket a five franc piece, on which the ball ended its travel, and so his life was saved. He got up, laughing, and the doctors had only to declare a simple ecchvmosis as the result of the shock. Mery, one of his seconds, knotfh all over for his wit, could not let such an occassion pasa without having his say. "Lacombe, that was the best-placed money you ever had!" "And Choqttard, another second, an elegant writer, but a spendthrift, could neither refrain from saying something." "Lacombe," said he, "if I had been in your plvce, I should have been adead man!"

D«V WsCot Along for Several Yeats Wltfc- 8 oul it President. ' When ihe revolutionary war ended, in 1783, Washington retired to his country residence at Mount Vernon, and took no part officially in pr.Mi- affairs until he was chosen by his na+iv State (Virginia) as a delegate to t!u convention that formulated and pro­ posed for adoption the Constitution of the United States, which assembled in Philadelphia in 1787, when Washington was elected presiding officer of the con­ vention. That Constitution was op­ posed by some of the ablest men in the Nation, but it was finally adopted. It provided for the election of a President and Vice President, and defined their duties. In the convention the commit­ tee had reported that the President should be called "His Excellency," but that did not suit the plain notions of plain old Ben Franklin, and he squelched it in a bit of sarcasm by im­ mediately proposing as an amendment: "And the Vice President shall be styled 'His Most Superfluous Higline&s.'" And so it was decided that the Presi­ dent should have no other title than "The President." t The Constitution did not provide for the election of the Electoral College-- "presidential electors "as now called--by by a direct vote of the people; it left the various Legislatures of the States to pro­ vide a method of electing them; and the Legislature f procaeded to elect them by a vote in the Legislature, without any popular election. There were no political conventions or nomi­ nations made. The theory of the Elec­ toral College was modeled after the republics of Venice, in the middle ag«?s, that were governed bv an oligarchy, the best and foremost citizens selecting the ruler. So, as manV of the foremost cit­ izens of the American Republic as there were Congressmen and Senators were chosen by the various State Legisla tures as members of the Electoral Col lege, who, in their wisdom and without being instructed by political conven­ tions, voted for a candidate for Presi­ dent of the United States; but did not vote for a Vice President--the one hav­ ing the largest vote, if a majority, was to be the President, and the one having the next largest was to be the Vice Pres­ ident. Everyone knows that "George Washington, Esq.," was chosen Presi­ dent, and almost everyone supposes by the unanimous vote of the people; but the people did not vote at all, and his support was not by any means unani­ mous in the Electoral College, there being no less than twelve distinguished gentlemen with "Esq."attached to their names who received one or more elec­ toral votes for the honorable office of President of the United States. The first Congress under the Constitution assembled in New York City, Wednes­ day, March 4, 1789, and, there being no quorum present, adjourned from day to day, until Monday, April (», 1789, when the Senate elected John Langdon president, "for the sole purpose of open­ ing and counting the vote for President of the United States." In joint session on the same day the vote was an­ nounced as follows: New Hampshire., Massachusetts.. Connecticut... New Jersey Pennsylvania..... Delaware Mary laud Virginia South Carolina....

Journal. CocaiMh - Cocaine is an alkaloid extracted from the leaves of the erytlioxylon coca, a shrnb that resembles the tea-plant, and grows wild in South America. The value of the coca leaves as a nerve stim­ ulant has long been known to the na­ tives of the mountainous regions of Peru and Bolivia, where the plant grows most abundantly. Travelers assert that the powers of endurance given by it are simply wonderful; that with its help the Peruvian Indians can perform the most wearisome journeys or the most difficult tasks without apparent weari­ ness, though eating but little food and often going for thirty hours without sleep. Extracts and tinctures made from this plant have been used to a con­ siderable extent during the past ten years by physicians in Europe and this country, who find its tonic effect useful, but not as noticeable as that manifested in the native home of the plant. The uses of the alkaloid, however, are likely to prove far more important to medi­ cine than the tonic applications of the tincture. This is obtained in the form of colorless, transparent prisms without odor, and bitter. About two years ago a German physician called attention to the fact that a solution of eocaine in hy­ drochloric acid possesses remarkable properties as a local anesthetic. It was first tried for this purpose in ophthal­ mic surgery, and found most successful. If a few drops of the solution are in­ stilled into the eye the delicate nerves of sensation become in a few moments quite paralyzed, so that the most deli­ cate operations may be performed with­ out discomfiture to the ]>atient. Its use since this discovery has become quite widely extended, and it is applied in diseases of the ear and throat, and also in the removal of tumors, and sim­ ilar surgical cases. As there are often cases where the administration of chlo­ roformed ether is attended with seri­ ous peril to the life of the patient, the discovery of this thoroughly safe anes­ thetic is of great value to medicine, the only drawback to its general use being the fact that it is very expensive, and is therefore frequently adulterated. Though this is the most important ap­ plication of this alkaloid, it has also of late been found valualJe for other uses. It has been found to have much lieal- ing property when applied to ulcers and diseased membranes, as those of the nasal passages in catarrh. It has also been used, in diluted form, as an in­ ternal remedy in cases attended with se­ vere pain, as acute neuralgia. But though it is a powerful sedative, its use in this manner is to be deprecated, be­ cause attended with serious danger un­ less administered with the utmost cau­ tion, under the direction of a compe­ tent phytricia&. --fnt*r- Ocean, v EXCTTEMEFT UNABATED.

In that article Dr. Henion recounted a wonderful experience which befell him, and the next day we pub­ lished from the same paper a second article, giving an account of the excitement in Roch­ ester, and elsewhere, caused by Dr. Henion's statement It is doubtful if any two articles were ever published which caused greater commotion both amoug professionals and lay­ men. Since the publication of these two articles, having been besieged with letters of inquiry, we sent a oommunication to Dr. Henion and also to H. H.

Every laborer in America ought to be a capitalist; at least, to some slight extent, and almost every healthy American labor might be a capitalist, but he must become wiser than he is to-day. He must learn to be indus­ trious, get rid of his vices, and must not waste his wages. He must come to suvh control of his own individuality that he will be a free partner in a free contract, able, on his own account, to accept or refuse the terms offered him. In some way, labor must be organized on one hand and capital on the other, so that they can stand facing each other as free, friendly, self-controlling, inde­ pendent powers. Then they ean peace­ fully settle the problems that threaten their peace and their prosperity. The outcome, 'it seems to me, of human his­ tory, so far as the problems of labor, as well ns all departments of life, are concerned, is to be this rise of indi­ vidual into free, personal self-control.

That is to say, they have seldom, if ever, any appetite, are ner­ vous. weak, fidgety and troubled by numberless small pains and aches.

Were they to snek it from tin unfailing source of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, how different would lie their case. Then vigor would return to their debilitated frames, the glow of health to their wan cheeks, their trembling, uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that grandest of all sauces, would give a relish for the daily food, were it never so coarse, aad re­ freshing sleep would crown the tasks of the day.

An old lady, who was a slave-holder, dying, be ineathed her colored man John and her dusky maid Jane, who sustained to each other the relation of husband and wife, to the trustees of her church, "to be used as far as possible for the glory of God.' I was curious to knew what course was taken, and upon investigation found that after meditation and prayer the pious trustees sold their living legacy at auction, and with the proceeds sent a missionary to China."
