Death Was Expected, But Hood's Sarsaparilla Cured. Tho testimonials published in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla are not purchased. They are written, voluntarily, gladly and gratefully. For instance, read this:

I think it a duty to send this statement of the benefit I have received from Hood's Sarsaparilla. I had a severe stroke cf paralysis and lay three weeks without eating or speakiug. The doctor oaid I would die. After three weeks a friend have me a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and when I had taken seven doses 1 began to set better. When I had taken eleven

,THE BROOK BENEATH THE SNOW.

For Tlio Rbview. Tlioro Is music in the winter Wtien tho north winils loudly blow, 8 or 1]ill unrl valo they scatter

The taal leaves to anil fro And the rythem of froaen rain drops, Dropping from the branches low, In tunoiwitli the muffled music i. Of the brook beneath the snow.

Thero is music in the spring time When the joyous notes of birds Aw.i'ie MM distant woodlands

With the "music without words And tho golden bees are humming O'er the flrst sweft flowois that blow, ... re'sjnothlug like the music beneath the snow.

Theie is milMn the summer. When the bleating of the lamb Is heard in sunny pastures

As it plays beside it-" dam. And the lr.wing herds of cattle Through ths crimson clover go. Hut there's nothing ilke the music

Of the brook beneath the snow.

There is music in tho autumn. When tho south wind sadly grieves That the roign will soon be over

Of tho rainbow tinted leavos, And the whirringoi the blackbirds' wings,^ The cawing of the crows, But there's nothing like the music _____

Of tho brook beneath the Bnow.

LONGFELLOW'S FIRST POETRY.

He Wan More Than Thirty When Hla First Volume Was Published. Toward the end of 1836 he took up his abode in Cambridge, where he waa to reside for the rest of his life—for 45 years. He was made to feel at home in the society of tho .scholars who clustered about Harvard, then almost the sole center of culture iu the country. His work for the college was not so exacting that bo had not time for literature. Tho impulse to write poetry returned, yet the next book he published was tb6 proso "Hyperion," which apppeared in '.8118. and which, though it has little naottmi, may bec i.'led a romance. The youthful and poetic hero, a passionate pilgrim in Europe, was, more or less, a reflection of Longfellow himself.

A few months later in the same year be published his first volume of poetry —"Voices of the Night"—in winch he r^priuted certain of his earlier verses, most of them written while he was at Bowdoin Some if those boyish verses show tho

Certainly no American author had yet written any poem of the kind so good as the best of those in Longfellow's volumo of "Ballads," printed two years later. Better than any other American poet Longfellow had mastered the difficulties of the story in song, and he knew how to combiue the swiftness and the picturesqueness the ballad requires. His ballads have more of the old time magic, more of the early simplicity, than those of any other modern English Author. Of its kind there is nothing better in the language than "The Skeleton In Armor," with its splendid lyric swing, and "The Village Blacksmith" and "The Wreck of the Hesperus" are almost as good in their humbler sphere. "Excelsior," in the same volume, voices tho noble aspirations of youth and has been taken to heart by thousands of boys and girls.— Professor Brander Matthews in St. Nicholas.

Preparing For a Caning I Kit Alexander had been warned «everal times for breaches of school discipline and was at length reported to tbe head master, who gave him a final warning. One night not long after Kit was again caught in mischief, and ha felt that this time'he was "in for it.'' A flogging by the doctor was no jokat and Kit determined to make what preparation he could that the wind might be tempered to the shorn lamb.

On rising the next morning he put on first his nndershirt, then a layer of stiff brown paper, then his jerseys, upon these a sweater and over all a clean white shirt, borrowed from his chum, whose olothing was two sizes larger, than his own. Lastly he put on bis coat and vest.

It was a very hot day in Jane, and at morning intermission Kit whispered to a friend: "I'm nearly stifled. I hop* he'll give it to me now." l&t the doctor said nothing, and Kit went on stewing until dinner time. He felt half inclined to dispense at least with the sweater before afternoon sohool, but fear of the doctor's cane deterred him.

All through the afternoon be suffered untold mi.-ery, mopping his face until his handkerchief would mop no more. But at length, just before dismissal, came a messenger. "The doctor would like to see Alexander in his study."

On entering the study the boy saw the supple, snakelike cane lying on the table. "Well, Alexander," said the doctor, "1 can go cn warning you no Jonger. You have brought this upon yourself. But as it is your first visit hero foT such a purpose 1 shall make your punishment Bomewhat milder. Hold out your hand four on each I"—Youth's Companion.

Day.

By this time Abraham hn 1 becomo au, important*member of the family. He was remarkably strong for his years, and tho work he could do iu a day was a decided advantage to Thomas Lincoln. The ax which had been put into his hand to help in making the first clearing had never been allowed to drop indeed, as he says himself, "from that till within his twenty-third year ho was almost constantly ban' ,? tlu.t most useful instrument." licsidcs. •1 drove the team, cut down the elm an.i linden brush 'with which tho stock was often fed, ieoncod to handle the old shovel plow, to wiold tho sickle, to thrash the wheat with a flail, to fan and clean it with a sheet, to go to mill and turn tho hard earned grist into flour in short, be learned all the trades the settler's boy must know, and well enough so that when his father did not need him he could hire him to the neighbors. Thomas Lincoln also taugl.t him the rudiments of carpentry and cabinet making, and kept him busy some of the time as his assistant in his trade. There, are houses still standing in and near Gentryvillo on which it is said he worked. The families of Lamar, Jones, Crawford, Gentry, Turnham and .Richardson all claim the honor of having employed him upon their cabins. As he grew older he became one of the strongest and most popular "hands'' in the vicinity, and much of his time was spent as a "hired boy" on some neighbor's farm. For 25 cents a day—paid to his father—ho was hostler, plowman, woodchopper and carpenter, besides helping the women with the "chores.'1 For them, so say the legends, he was ready to carry water, make the fire, even tend the baby. No wonder that a laborer who never refused to do anything asked of him, who could "strike with a mallet heavier blows" aud "sink an ax deeper into the wood" than anybody else in tho community, and who at the same time was general help the women, never lacked a job iu Gentry ville.—Ida M. Tarbell iu McClure's Magazine.

The Milky Sea.

In 1610 the expedition to tho East Iudies under Martin Pring, when in the tropical Pacific, had one night what was to the members of that expedition a very mystifying spectacle. They beheld tho sea all about them palo and white, resembling a vast cheese vat, so that one might have imagined "the Ship to have been sailing in Whey instead of Salt Water, it carried such a milky appearance along with it. The Air and Skie at the same time look'd White aud hazy, without doubt the effect of the reflections from the Surface of the Water so dispos'd aud colour'd."

In February, 18S1, Mr. Daniel Pidgeon, a very acute observer, witnessed the phenomenon of this "milky sea" of the Pacific, when, he says, "the whole ocean from tho .--hip to the visible horizon looked exactly as if it were covered with snow. "The snowy surface evidently reflected the light of tho sky, for Venus, being very bright, threw a distinguishable line of radiance across it, while the phosphorescent crests of waves were now and then seen breaking above the layer of shining matter which overlaid the water. He convinced himself that the appearance was due to a thin layer' of mist, produced when the sea surface happens to be considerably cooler than the moist atmcsphere above it, so that the air in immediate contact with the water is chilled below the dew point and becomc.) jr.is'.-. while tl:»3 air above remains transparent,

It would he interesting to know whether the s.sme. explanation will apply to all displays of the "milky sea," or whether ihc effect should sometimes be attribn'cd solely to phosphorescent animals :d plr.nts, and if not whether in any r:rr there F-nrces of light co-)-tribute to illnivn:- 'o the sra from below.—Blackwood': Magazine.

He says: "Some time ago a large policy holder iu my company was run over by a trolley car aud his right leg painfully crushed. He remained conscious after the shock for three minutes, during which time ho pulled out his watch aud called the attention of the crowd to the fact that it was just 15 tninutes to 12 o'clock.

How tfce Entrance to New York Bay Tft Illuminated. The entrance to New Ydrk harbor is illuminated at night like a city street, as each of the spar buoys along the Gedney channel carries an elfectrio light. Tho current for these lights, as well as for some others farther up the harbor, is furnished from a generating station at Sandy Hook. Part of the lights are supplied with a continuous current at loO volts by means of nearly two miles of cable, consisting of a single conductor of seven stranded copper wires of No. 1S gauge, covered with an insulator aud protected py a double armor of steel wire. The buoys along the Qedney channel arc furnished with an alternating curreut at 1,000 volts, probably the first instance in which such a current has been used lur this purppse.

In the manufacture of the six miles of cable for ihe.-i' lights tho use of iron as an armor had to discarded, as with it the effects of self induction were too pronounced. Accordingly tho armor employed is No. IS gauge hard drawn copper wiro, tho conductor consisting of seven stranded copper wires of similar gauge. Gutta percha is the insulator. The conversion of (he alternating current from 1,000 volts in the primary current to 100 volts for the iainp circuit is effected in a smell transformer of 000 watts capacity fitted irsiide t'ie head of the wooden buoy Each is 'uuted in a strong water light case, whijh is filled with heavy oil as an additional insulation. The lumps are of 100 caudle power each, lino are stt at tho top of the buoy. They are protected by heavy bell glass globes, aud are about five inches in diameter. Tho buoys to which these lamps are fixed are large spars from GO to 70 feet long, each anchored to tho bottom by a hollow cast iron block shaped like a mushroom and weighing about fc.000 pounds.

COSTLY THEATRICALS.

The Extravagant Priccfi Clint-Red at a PliltiMlclphlu Theater In 1780. Playgoers growl at the price of seats in the theater today, but let them read what was charged iu Philadelphia at one time, as told in "Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage," and then rest content. The story is told in these words bios in in the book: "In 1769, at Annapolis, 'The Merchant of Venico' was produced by the New American company, with Mrs. Osborne, the heavy tragedy actress, as the heroine. The curtain rang up at 6 p. m. in tho 'new' playhouse. Gentlemen who desired to pay but 5s. sat perforce in the pit or upper boxes those who could afford 7s. 6d. chose the more fashionable lower boxes.
