teen hundred dollars. The latter told
the former, that as he was going to trav-
ell, he wished for his own convenience
that he could get his share in bank
notes, telling him he had better keep
the new dollars lying by for while
The unsuspecting German immediate
ly went and borrowed among his neigh
bors fifteen hundred dollars in notes,
which he gave in exchange for the spe-
Gle and with which the Yankee imme>
diately decamped. Some time after
the German presented a part of his
treasure at one of the Philadelphia
banks as deposite, when, to his utter
astc nishment, he was told that they
were all counterfeits.

Breathe not a sigh when we are
parting.
Breathe not a sigh when we are parting
'Tis vain to sigh:
Nor let single tear be starting
In thy soft eye.
l know tits sad fer hearts like ours,
So warm and true,
To pine for loving smiles, as flowers
Languish for dew.
Yet shall have sweet thoughts to cheer me
When thou art gone.
For, in my dreams, will finger near me
The absent one.
And, as those dreams at pensive even
Steal over me,
I'll lift my melting heart to heaven
In prayer for thee.
ThrO' the deep gloom, that dark ms o'erthee
Tie star of fame
Shines like beacon light before thee
Go! win a name.
And then, if thou should'st WOO another
To be thy bride,
Although my thoughts cannot smother,
/ will not chide.
But, should'St thou hear that grief is paling
My young cheeks bloom.
That death my slender form is yelling
Foe the dark tomb
Then let thy lip be softly signing
Like low lutte,
Breathing its music Ger the dying
For sweet lips mute.
And when these hands thou'st Clasp'd 81
often
Are cold and chill,
And this warm heart no tone can soften
To loves sweet thrill
Then, tho light airy forms assemble
Where thine will be,
l know thy mournful heart will tremble
Still true to me.

From l. ckhart's life 0 Scott.

An Incident In SCOTS Life
i have t. open the year 1914 with
melancholy story. Mention has been
made, more than once, of Henry Web
er, poor German scholar, who, esca>
ping to this country in 1904, from mis-
fortunes in his own, excited Scots
compassion, & was the forth furnish
ed,through his means,with lite airy en-
ployment cfvarious sorts. Weber was
man of considerable learning; but
Scott, as was his custom, appears to
have formed an exaggerated notion Of
his capacity, and certainly countenan-
ced him, to his own severe cost, in sew
erdl most unfortunate undertakings
When not engaged on things of a more
ambitious Character, he had acted for
ten years as his protectors amanuensis,
and when the family were at Edinburg,
he often dined with them. There was
someth ng very interesting IN his APP
pearance and manners; he had a far,
open countenance, IN which the homes
ty and enthusiasm of his nation were
alike visible; his demeanur was gentle
and modest; and he had not only q
stock of curious antiquarian knowledge,
but the "reminiscences which he detailed
with amusing simplicity, of an early
life, checkered with many strange
enough adventures. He was, in short,
much a favorite with Scott and all his
household; and was invited to dine with
them so frequently chiefly because his
friend was aware that he had an I'M
happy propensity to drinking, and he
was anxious to keep him away from
places where he might have been more
likely to indulge in It. This vice, hows
ever, had been growing upon him; and
oflate Scott had found il necessary to
make some rather severe ren1onstran-
ces about habits which were at once
iniuring his health, and interTupting his
literary industry.
They had, however, parted kindly
when Scott left Edinburgh, at Christ
mas, 1918; and the day after his return
Weber attended him as usual IN his li-
brary; being employed in transcribing
extracts during several hours, while his
friend, seated over against him, contin-
ued working at the life of Swift. The
| light beginning to fail, Scott threw hiui-
selfba in his chair, and was about 10
ring for candles, when he observed the
Germans eyes fixed upon him with ali
unusual solemnity of expression.

GALvANIsM.-The fact that many
who have been hung, have been re
vived by galvanIsm, was for long time
regarded as one of the wonders of sci
ence; but no one ever imagined, that
life and organization could be produced
by the same wonderful ageut. We
said that no one had ever imagined
this, but we beg the LADY, pardon, Mrs.
Shelly is an exception-she actually
wrote book founded on the fiction
that her hero had made man, as the
boys say, tout of his own head" But
it seems that the ideal Frankenstein
has been equalled, by a real Mr.. Stuck
berry Of Bristol, England, who, in con-
Quoting process for the purpose oil
procuring crystals of slick, actually
made about forty perfect insects
with legs, tail head, and all other ct
ceteras of animal life, and possessing
the power of motion at will, and the
will to move. We subioin an account
Of his second experiment, not having
room for the first. The fact that ami,
NAL life has been produced in this man
ner, will give rise to some questions for
grave discussion among philosophers.

A farmer once hired a Vermonter
to assist him in drawing logs. The
Yankee, when there was a log to lift,
generally contrived to secure the small

him and told him always to take the

gar loaf Indian pudding. Jonathan
sliced off generous portion of the lar

A YANKEE TRICK.-A short time ago
a Yankee took up his residence at a
public house in Philadelphia, kept by a
credulous German. The morning fol-
lowing, while at breakfast, he told them
he had dreamed curious dream, that
there was a conside rable sum of money
buried on a certain spot on the other
side of the Scuylkill, but at the same
time said he could place no confidence
in visions of that kind. 81 hap bert

host, "dat if dey tream de same tream

The Yankee two successive morn-
ings following told his host he had
dreamed the same dream over again.
After repeated arguments. the German
persuaded the Yankee to accompany
him; they accordingly prepared them-
selves, and HE'D to the place shown BY
the dreamer. They dug, and lol they
beheld box, which, upon examination
was found to contain two thousand dol
