Her home was but cottage home,
A simple home and small;
Yet sweetness and affection made
II seem fairy hall!
A little taste; little care,
Made humble things appear,
As though they were translated there,
From some superior sphere;
Her home was but cottage home,
simple home, and small,
Yet sweetness and affection made
hseem fairy hall.
Assweet the home, so sweet the maid,
As graceful and as good;
She seemed lily in the shade,
A vieiet in the bud!
She had no wealth, Int maiden worth,
wealth that's little fame;
Yet that's the truest gold Of earth
The others but name!
Her home was but a cottage home,
A simple home, and small,
Yet sweetness and affection made
seem fairy hall.
A cheerfnlness Of soul, that threw
A smile o'cr every task,
A Willingness, that ever Aew

A something We could wish our own,

To grace in its degree throne,
Or any rank adorn!

evident, was the cause, and it was apparent
that they were prepared for burst OF

canal the other day, and took it home to
melt into water for use. As she watched
its gradual transformation from solid fluid
form, she was startled to find portions OF
paper resembling bank bills beginning I"
develop themselves, and, when the thawing
was finished, she picked from the wnter
three bank bills, one for $1,000, one Tor Slo.

SCAN Man LIVE WITH BALL IN Ills
| BRAIN?"--We some time since published
a statement from tho Philadelphia Bulletin,
under this caption, to the effect that a
Young man Of that city had received ball
10 the frontal region, which appeared TO
have entered the brain and yet The Young
man recovered. TO this statement we ad-
ded that Ex-Governor Boccs, fBrmerly Of
this State, carried four balls, or slucs. in
the occiputal region fhis brain.
The Peoria Telegraph publishes thcse
accounts, and adds:
II this is an important question, testi-
mony like the following may he furnished
from this town. Last summer q lad in a
house was struck by ball from 4 hunts-
mans rife at distance. The bal! pussed
through the Uranium little above the tem-
pie and seemed to enter tho brain. TIE
boy fell upon the floor and part Of the brain
oozed out. The physicians probed to
some depth but could find nothing. They
trephined upon the other side, in the direct
lion Of the bsl!-the juramater was un-
touched, and no traces Of the ball found.
The boy was coon we'll and appears totally
unharmed.
That large portions Of the human brain
may be remOrcd without producing death,
or impairment Of the intellect, is fact we'll
known to the scientific world. EAn in
stance occurred in this vicinity some years
since. Dr.: AppIsoN PHILLIo renovkd ffom

KICKING THE WRoyG MAN.-The Prince
de Talleyrand, bishop as he was, never
had Christian charity enough 10 abstain
from sarcasm. He chsDced TO have to

without much education or refinement.

guests by their amusing breaches Of eti-

TO the bishops cook, resolved, like Oliver
Twist, to get more, and unconscious Of the
great error he committed, coolly dipped
his brend into the dish. The other frar,
better verscd in decorum, tried With
friendly kick under the table to warn his ia
delicate brother. ln 60 doing, he inflicted
severe blow upon the leg Of, the princely
host.
"Aiy friend" said the bishop, rubbing
his shins, '.you need not kick SO hard; II
