DEAD AND ALIvE.-An old lady who re-
sides in Sandwich was taken i'll q few days
since, and to all appearances died. She had
been living alone for some time, and it was
thought she had 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 offices 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 ladies, in performing these duties, noticed
that the body was unusually Timber, and did
not exhibit the rigidity ofcorpses in general ,af
ter being dead for only half an hoar. For the
purpose Of obtaining some cleane linen, which
was known to be locked up in large trunk
in cornor 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
hinges, up popped the old woman in the bed
like the "rale ould Irish gentleman of the
song, and screeched out, "Let that trunk
alone :" TIE lid of the trunk was dropped
like hot potato, and with a universal cry of
surprise, the neighbors gazed upon the live
corpse " before them. The nervous witch
ing of the lips. and the angry flashes from
the little gray eyes, was sufficient evidence
that their services " ere not needed ionSer
and with merriment depicted rpon their
countenances they left Tie Undertaken was
reluctantly compelled to give up his job, and
the funeral vas postponed sine de The old
woinsn Is alive and well, and declares that
she was in trance; but it is the general
opinion of the neighbors that she was only
playing "possum.

ARSENIC EATERs.-French medical journal
has an article on the arsenic eaters of Europe
This poison, deadly in its effects when taken
in large Doses is eaten in minute quantities
by the peasants OF Austria, particularly
females, to increase their flesh aud give
roundness to their limbs. The practice Of eat
ing arsenic also has the effect of rendering
them more enduring, and facilitates respira-
ton in mounting steep assents. Arsenic is
often administered to horses in Vienna by the
grooms and coachmen OF the Austrian capital
They mix liberal pinch of the powder with
oats, or attach to the bride fragment of
arsenic as large as pea, wrapped in linen,
and when the horse is harnessed the saliva
iissolves the poison. The glossy, round. and
elegant appearance of the voluable horses in
Vienna, and especially the white foam about
the mouth, are generally due to arsenic, which
as is well known, increase salvation. 1t is
also given to cattle intended for fattening,
but it is said not to increase their weight,
though it adds to their size The ill effects
of this poison do not manifest themselves till
the practice Of using it is stopped, and then
emaciation follows, which no Eourishing food
can prevent.

An Angel of Mercy.

While at Elberfeld, year ago, awaiting
the arrival of friend from America, we
spent dGy In visiting KaserSworth, not far
from Dusseldorf on the Rhine. Here pastor
Fleidner began his benevolent labors, which
have grown upon his hands until they have
become among the most extensive and varied
in Germany, riyaling in interest those of
Francke His establishment mbraces hos
pital, insane ASYLUM, magdalen retreat, char
ity schools, and training establishment of
Protestant deaeonesses as nurses, teachers, etc.
some 200 Of whom have gone forth thence TO
the humane institutions of Europe and Amer
lea. We were accompanied through the in
stitution by a German baroness, young, beau
tiful and accomplished, who had turned away
her life to the sick and the sorrowing. A few
miles from Kaisersworth we found pastor
Fleidner, experimenting the completion of a
building to which the deaeonesses might re-
sort for rest and recovery, when worn down
with the fatigues of their self-denying tasks.
1t was in this animated and instructive in
terview that were made acquainted with
the history of Florence Nightingale, who had
been for months an inmate of the pastors
family, making herself familiar with all the
details Of the institution, and on her return
to England not only publishing the wonder
full story in a pamphlet kindly placed in our
hands by pastor Fleidner, with introductory
letters TO the authcress, but reproducing in
London the system of charities of which she
was the practical student at Kaisersworth.
Miss Nightingale is in the morning of life,
of high rank in English society, with extraor-
binary endowments and cultivation, and a.
bundant wealth. She has exchanged all for
the pleasures Of nursing the sick and minis
tering consultations to the dying Turning
away from the elegant paternal home in
Hampshire, and the Summer house in Der.
byshire, she gave her time, talents and money
to the hospital for sick governnessesin drea
ny street in London, And when the cry came
from the East that the poor sick and wound.
ed soldiery of England were inadequately sup
piled with nurses and medical attendance
this angel of mercy took wing with some for.
ty helpers, Drawing danger by sea and land
and is now engaged in her heaven blessed
ministrstions at Seutari on the Bosphorus, or-
posite Constantinople. When we count uE
the few among the sons and dughters of mel
like John Howard and Caroline Frey, and oul
own Miss Dix, who shame the ambition and
brutality and inhumanity which furnishes &C.
casion for their heroic benevolence, let us as
sociate with their honored names, coupled
with blessing or a prayer, that of Florence

washington am Anti-Know Nothing

As Know Nothngs profess great love and
veneration for Washington, the father of his
country, we publish for their benefit, and re-
comment his teachings to their better senses,
the following extracts from an address to the
Roman Catholics delivered in March, 1880:
"As mankind become more liberal, they
will be more apt to allow, that all those who
conduct themselves as worth members of the
community, are equally entitled to the pro-
lection of civil government, / hope ever to
see America among the foremost nations in
examples of justice and liberality. And i
presume that your fellow citizens will not for
get the patriotic part which you took in the
accomplishment of their government-or the
important assistance which they received
from nation in which the Roman Catholic
faiths professed."-[ Life of Washington, page
1877.
"The Irish volunteers merit the warmest
thanks of America for their patriotism and
| hope their cOuntrymen who have so long
struggled for liberty, will be Hospitality and
cordially received hsre."-[ Washington.
"The bosom Of America is open to receive
not only the opulent and respectable stranger,
but the oppressed and prosecuted Of all nations
and Of all religions, whom we shall welcome
to participation in all rights and privileges
Washington.
"The citizens of the United States of Amer
lea have a right to applaud themselves for
having given to mankind examples of an en-
larged and liberal polcy-a policy worthy OF
imitation: All possesses alike liberty ofcon-
science and immunites of citizenship. 1t is
now no more that liberation is spoken of as
If il were by the indulgence of one class of
people that another enjoyed the exercise of
their inherent natural rights for, happily the
government OF the United States which gives
to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no as
Stance, requires only IL at they who live un-
der its protection, should demean themselves
as good citizens in giving it on all occasions
their effectual support Washington.
Washington also, in 1890, signed natu-
ralzation law, which conferred upon foreign
ers the right of suffrage in two years.
