Found Dead.
BV AI.BKHt I. atom ton.
Found dead—dead and alone!
There wa-anobody near, nobody hear,
When the outcast died on bis pillow of stone,
No mother, no brother, no sister dear ;
Not a friendly voice to soothe or cheer,
Not a watching eye or a pitying tear 5
Found dead—dead and alone,
In the roofless street, on a pillow of stone.
Many a weary day went by, [bread,
While stretched and worn he begged for
Tired of life and longing to Me
Peacefully down with the silent dead,
Hunger and cold, and scorn and pain,
Had wasted his form and seared his brain,
Till at last on Hie bed of frozen ground,
With a pillow of stoifc, was the outcast found.
Found dead—dead and alone,
On a pillow of stone, in the roofless street,
Nobody heard his last faint moan,
Or knew when his sad heart ceased to beat;
No mourner lingered with tears er sighs,
But stats looked down with pitying eyes,
And tha chill winds passed with a wailing
sound,
O’er the lone spot where his form was found.
Found dead—yet not alone ;
There was somebody near, somebody near,
To claim the wanderer as His own,
And find a home for the homeless here ;
One, when every human door
Is closed to His children scorned and poor,
Who opens the Heavenly portals wide,
Ah 1 Gofl was near when the outcast died!

The Girl to Love.
She blossomed.iu the country, ,
Where sunny summer flings,
Her rosy arms around the earth,
And brightest blessings brings.
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dower;
I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet a flower.
Far distant from the city,
And inland from the sea,
My lassie bloomed in goodness,
As pure as pure could be;
She caught her dewy freshness*
From hill and mountain bower ;
I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet a flower.
The rainbow must have lent her
Some Of its airy grace ;
The wild rose parted with a blush.
That nestled on her face ;
The sunbeams got entangled in
The long waves of her hair,
Or she had never grown to be
So modest and so fair.
The early birds have taught her
The joyous matin song,
And some of their soft innocence,
She’s been with them so lung}
Aud for her now, if need be,
I’d part with wealth and power ;
1 never dreamed the wild wood,
Contained so sweet a (lower.
The Press and Dead Heads.
Railroads, steamboats and stage coaCh
«s complain of dead-heading—that is to
Say Preachers, Editors and brethren of the
craft riding so much without pay. The
news paper press endures more of this
dead-heading than all three of these modes
of conveyance combined. The Pulpit, the
Bar, Theatre, corporations, legislative as
sembles, society religious, benevolent, ag
ricultural, mercantile establishments, ven
ders of quack medicines, railroad compa
nies, steamboats, stage lines and every va
riety of individuals, including political par
ties and politicians, drawn largely upon
the liberalities of the press. The press is
expected to yield all these interests; it is
required to give strength to all weak in
stitutions and enterprises ; it is asked to
puff small preachers into overshadowing
pulpit orators ; to puff small politicians aud
unprincipled demagogues into great men
and patriots, and to magnify incompetent
railroad officers into railroad kings; it is
expected to herald abroad quacks of all
classes, bolster up dull authors; immortal
ize weak congressional speeches ; it is re
quired to give sight to the blind and
bread to the hungry, tuleuts to fools, and
honor to thieves and robbers; it is ask
ed to cover up the infirmities of the
weak, to hide the faults of guilty men aud
wink at the fraudulent schemes of scoun
drels ; it is expected to flatter the vain, ex
tol the merits ot those who deserve notii
iug hut the scorn and contempt of all good
citizens; it is required of a newspaper
press that it become all things to all men,
and if it look for pay or send out its bills
for advertising and subscription, it is de
nounced as mean and sordid, and its con
ductors as wanting liberality. There is
no interest on the face of the green earth
that is expected to give as much to society
without pay or thanks as the newspaper
press of the country. The little-souled
man who inserts in your columns a fifteen
shilling advertisement, expects you at least
to write him out five dollars worth of edi
torial notices, and the obscure and nig
gardly man you have written into a posi
tion of importance far beyond his merits,
considers that his name adorns your col
umns, and gives circulation to your jour
nal.
—.-♦♦*♦
Night Aik.—An extraordinary fallacy
is the dread of night air. What air can
we breathe at night but night air? The
cboise is between pure air from without
and foul night air from within. Most peo
pie preter the latter. An unaccountable
choice. What will they say il it is proved
to be true that fully one-half of all the dis
eases we suff er from is occasioned by peo
ple sleeping with their windows shut ? An
open window most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. This is not to say
that light is not necessary for recovery. In
great cities night air is often the best and
purest air to be had in the twenty-four
hours, I could better understand shutting
the windows in towns during the day than
during the night, for the sake of the sick.
The absence of smoke, the quiet, all
tend to make night the best time for airing.
One of our highest medical authorities on
consumption and climate, has told me that
the air in London is never so good as af
ter 10 o’clock at night. Always air your
room, then, from the outside air, if possi
ble. Windows are made to open, doors
are made to shut—a truth which seems
extremely difficult of apprehension. Every
room must be aired from without, every
pnssage from within. Hut the fewer pas
sages there are in the hospital the better.
