a child, having dark eyes, hair, &C., much resem-
bling, but still not entirely, her own child which
she had with her in the bed. Somewhat startled
by the sight, she awoke her husband, and he, too,
saw the same picture in the glass. They then
took up the child which was with them, and COM
pared it with the one they saw in the glass, and,
satisfying themselves that it was not the picture
of their child, saw it, after some minutes, fade
away. The next child which was born to them
proved to be the very image of the one they saw
in the glass. They had premonition that it
would fade away and die, which it did, on the
Odd of September, which was the very day and
month that the picture appeared in the glass. 1t
lived but ten months. ss

nestle heaven, she who is busted, so .unwearied

You stan! beside her coffin and think Of the past.
1t seems an cn5ef co!ored pathway, where the
sun shone upon beautiful flowers, vi the stars
glittcred overhead. Fan would the soul lingar
there. No thorns are remembered above that
sweet clay, save those your hand may have un-
willingly planted. Her noble, tender heart lies
open to your inmost sight. You think of her now
as all gentencss, all beauty and purity. But she is
dead The dear head that laid upon your bosom,
rests in the still darkness upon pillow of clay.
Inc nanuS tin't have mm1srtrcu So NntIfnSIy are
folded, white and cold, beneath the gloomy por-
tails. The heart whose every beat measured an
eternity Of love, lies under your feet. The flow
ers she bent over with smiles, bend now above her
with tears, shaking the dew from their petals that

Fan. Now he knows Pm terrible coward, not
bit like country girs-afraid of the cows, afraid

50, between wanting me to see that he was a skill

Harry whipped up old Fan into regular rum

and almost cried, but Harry only looked at me

He did not say anything, but there was a look
came over his face, which made me very sorry for

both hurried away just as fast as we could.
Now am back again to the great city, with the
stars looking down on me between two rows of

DoS'T EAT HoRsE-RADIsH TOO FREELY.-It is
almost hazardous to say anything against con-
diment SO universally used and rclishcd as that,
but word of caution is needed. IIOrsc-radish
is highly stimulating and exploring to the stom-

lassitude and weakness. We have met with sew

this root SO freely to be scarcely able to labor

Where it is needed as a medicine, a small
quantity of horsc-radislI is doubtless beneficial.
But we are quite sure, from considerable obser-
walton of its effects upon ourselves and others,
that any person using spoonful or more at a
meal, will suffer in consequence, although the
of this suffering may not be perceived, since
it produces a stimulating effect for the first hour
or two after eating it.-Am. Apicultuyia.

A FEARFUL AcciDENr.-A terrible tragedy oc-
CURED recently at the town of Bury, England
a pleasure party from Cambridge went few miles
down the river to dine at nn by the side of the
water. Among the party was Il youth of l6,
named VIM, seeing gun in the corner of the
room, took it up, and seeing no cap upon it, i'm
agined that it was not loaded, and having some
percussion caps in his pocket, fixed ono upon the
gun, and pointing the weapon at Thompson, pull
ed the trigger, but no explosion followed. lie
then put the gun down, and Thompson took it up,
and he too having caps in his pocket, put one on,
pointed the gun at Winn, and literally blew his
brains out, scattering them on the wall. The
CONSERVATION thus produced was indescribablc,
and Thompson is represented to have suffered the
sevcrcst paroxysms of agony. How wonderful it
is that the repeated publication of occurrences of
this kind should not suffice to prevent the childish
practice of pulling trigger at another, where the
remotest possibility exists of the gun being load
cd. The inquest found verdict of ''Accidcntal
Death.''
