Let that Trunk Alone.

An old lady who resides in Sandwich,
was taken i'll a few days since, and to all
appearances died. She had been living
alone for sometime, and it was thought
she had a good deal of money slowed
away in some secret corner, as she had
always been well to do in the world. The
neighbors attended her during her illness,
and when she had ceased to breathe, made
preparations to perform the last Office to
the dead. The body was measured for
the coffin by the undertaken, who went
about his work. The corpse was washed,
and made ready for the burial; yet, the la
dies, in performing these duties, noticed
that the body was unusually timber, and
did not exhibit the rigidity Of corpses in
general after being dead for only half an
hour. For the purpose of obtaining some
clean linen, which was known to be lock
ed up in large trunk in a corner Of the
room, one of the women got the key and
went to open it. The instant the lid of
the trunk was heard to crate on its hin
ges, up popped the old woman in bed, like
the "rale ould Irich gintleman" of the
song, and screeehed out, "Let that trunk
alone The lid Of the trunk was dropped
like hot potato, and with a universal
cry of surprise, the neighbors gazed upon
the olive corpse" before them. The ner-
vous twitching Of the lips, and the angry
flashes from the little grey eyes, was suf-
fcient evidence that their services were
not needed longer, and with merriment
depicted upon their countenances they
left The undertaken was reluctantly
compelled to give up his job, and and the
funeral was postponed sine die. The old
woman is alive and well, and declares
that she was in a trance but it is the
general opinion of the neighbors that she
was only playing "possumN

Death from Fear Of Cholera.

Mr.. Wilson, one of tie editors of the
Reform Banner, at Hamilton, Canada
West, died few days ago. 1t appears
he had a great fear of the cholera, and 1t
is said that since the appearance of the
disease there he would never 60 out Of
his house except with bottle of cholera
mixture in his hand and parcel Of chic
ride of lime in his pocket, and he regulat-
ed his diet and the economy Of bis family
in strict conformity to the rules laid down
by the Board Of Health; but unfortunate
ly his children, three beautiful boys,
could not be restricted when they got
out Of sight, and they were seized with
cholera from eating green fruit. Soon
after his wife was taken and died. Seeing
the approaching dissolution of bis wife
poor Wilson became quite frantic. He
rushed out of the house, leaving all his
sick children behind him, and went to q
clearinghouse up town, where he also
died next day from nothing else but
downright fear The poor man was pam
ic-sticken, and if it had not been for the.
attention of a friend the family might,
have been left altogether to themselves.
One of the children has since died.

Total,
hnreaI 10 Christian Women.

FREDERIKA BREMER publishes, in tire
National Intellgencer long appeal to
the Christian women Of this and other
countries, which she says will appear sim
ultaneousIy in Europe, to form associa-
tons mutually connected by international
ties, having for its object the following;
Caring for children, by means of a
Christian education for families, by ex-
ercising christian influence by the distri-
button of work and It's just reward, for
the sick and the aged, by affording them
protection and help; for prisoners and
other fallen fellow creatures, by compass
sionate exertions to raise them from their
sunkcn condition and finally, by encour-
aging all institutions and means aiming
to promote such purposes.
The plan she stated thus;
First. That there should be com
mittee in the capital of each country,
which should enter into communication
with all the different female societies Ot
that land, gather all particulars relating
to them and their work, and thus be able
to take a survey of the whole.
Second That each central committee
being the organ of circulation for all 9th
er societies in that land, should, through
its secretary, or come other correspond
ing member, communicate to the central
committee Of other countries, the princi-
pal details of the work Of female societies
in it's own together with accounts of such
industrial efforts or good Instructions
standing in connection with the aim Of
the society that have arisen in their coun-
try.
Third. That printed circular, con-
tanning these details may be sent, free OF
postage, at the end Of every year, from
every central committee to all those Of
other countries with whom they stand in
communication.

fact, however, is worth recording. When
Father Donovan concluded the ceremony,
before the bridal kiss had passed, farmer
Clary, without any reason that his wife
could discover, most indecorously sprung
up, seized shillelah of stout oak, and
whirling it rapidly over his head, and
shouted-'Carry NE out! by the power
she's beat we've won the day--ould Ire
land forcver!' Success boys !-she's
beat She S beat" The priest too seemed
vastly to enjoy this extemporaneous eff
fusion, and even the bride laughed out
right. Whether the good wife discover.
ed the plot or not, | never heard; but of
this | am certain, that the joyous Norah
never had reason to repent the wise
thought.

Stolen Child Recovered.

Some two years since q little girl about
eight years of age was stolen from her
parents in New York, and so efectually
concealed we're the arrangements of the
abductors that all efforts to reclaim the
missing child proved abOrtive. Recently,
however, suspicion was excited that the
girl had been stolen by parties in this city,
who we're bringing her up as their own;
and accordingly, in company with friend,
the mother yesterday came hither, and
commenced a search for the lost one, hav-
ins first obtained the aid Of a male friend,
we'll acquainted with the circumstances.
The first thing to be discovered was
the residence of the kidnappers, and this
after patient and protracted search and IN
uuirv, being found out, the mother at
once proceeded to the premises, and knock
ing at the door it was opened by her own
daughter, between whom and the mother
there was amutual recognition. The
woman of the house, however, persisted
in claiming the child as hers, and threat
ened summary vengeance upon any one
who should attempt to remove her But
the mother strong in right, was not to be
intimidated by threats, and accordingly,
taking her daughter to the Market street
depot, jumped in the cars, and moment
after was beyond pursuit.
The man and woman with whom the
girl had been living reside in Prospect
street. and the former has hitherto born
fair reputation, being foreman in one
of the largest manufacturing establish
ments in the city. Both are said to have
been furious at the discovery Of their
villainy the girl however, was overjoyed
at their discontinue, and accompanied
her mother with eager pleasure

Of his powder flask was lost, and he had
no further means of defending himself,

attempted its ascent. But the small size
of the tree and the smoothness of the bark
prevented this. At this time Mr.. L. com

Strong limiting.

Mrs. Hogan and her husband were
neither of them over fond of work They
were perfectly willing to live upon the
generosity of their neighbors, which they
were by no means backward in soliciting.
One day Mrs. Hogan dropped into Mrs.
FarDham's, her next door neighbor, just
as the family were sitting down to supper.
OF course she was invited to sit down.
Your teas very good, said she; 4 wish
Mr.. Hogan was here. He's very fond Of
tea, but we're very poor and can't afford
to get tits so expensive
This hint was considered rather strong
ore, so Mrs. Farnham handed Mrs. Ho-
gan, just as she was going, pound par
eel.
THANK you,' said Mrs. Hogan, I'm
glad to get the tea, but 'taint Of much use
without the milk
A quart of milk was consigned to her
charge.
well, says she, now if we had some
sugar, we should be provided
Mrs. Farnham procured a pound and
gave it to her.
Now said Mrs. Hogan, 'we shall stand
chance to have good cup Of tea
There's nothing relshed with tea like ap-
pie pie, as Mr.. Hogan often says
This hint was strong enough to draw
out the article desired.
after all, said Mrs Hogan, as she took
the pie into her hands, pie ain pie unless
body has cheese to eat with it. If there S
anything / love, it's cheese.
1t was impossible to resist such an ap-
peal as this. An ample slice having been
placed in her possession, she paused for
a moment as if considering whether there
was not something else she might call for
Failing to think of anything, she was a
bout to move off, when thought struck
! her
'These things are rather heavy, and l
amt SO strong as | used to be, | don't
know as | shall be able to get home.
Mrs. Farnham volunteered to send her
son John to carry part of the articles
an offer which Mrs. Hogan accepted with
out the least hesitation. When John had
landed his load, Mrs, Hogan hinted that
she had got some wood she should like
to have cut, but John didn't believe in
hints, and left without taking it.
