1t was nearly midnight on Saturday night,
that a. passenger came to Col. -, request
ing him to 60 to the cabin of settler, some
three miles down the river, and see his
daughter, girl of fourteen, who was supposed
to be dying. Col. - awoke me, and asked
me to accompany him, and | consented, TAX
ing with me the small packages of medicines
which l always carried in the forest; but l
learned soon there was no need of these, for
her disease was past cure.
"She is strange child" said the Colonel,
and her father is as strange man. They
live together alone on the bank of the river.
They came here three years ago, and no one
knows whence or why. He has money, and
is keen shot. The child has been wasting
away for year past. l have seen her often,
and she seemed gifted with marvellous in
tellect. She speaks something as if inspired
and seems to be the only hope Of her father"
We reached the hut of the settler in less
than half an hour, and entered it reverently.
The scene was one that cannot easily be
forgotten. There were books, and evidences
Of luxury and taste, lying on the rude table
in the center. A guitar layed on the table
near small window, and the bed furniture,
on which the dying girl lay was as soft as the
couch of dying queen.
She was fair child, with masses of long
black hair lying over her pillow. Her eye
was dark and piercing, and as it met mine,
she started slightly, but smiled and looked
upward. Ispoke few words to her father
and turning to her, asked her if she knew
her condition.
81 know that my Redeemer liveth," said
she, in voice whose melody was like the
sweetest tones of an Kolan. You may i'm.
agine that the answer startled me, and with
few words of like import, l turned from
her. A half hour passed, and she spoke ir
the same deep, richly melodious voice.
dtuCl, am COiu iio uOWu Dcoluo Ile,
and the old man sat down on the bed beside
his dying child, and she twined her emacia
ted arms around his neck, and murmured ir
dreamy voice, "dear father, dear father"
any child, doth the flood seem deep tc
thee? 2"
"Nay, father for my soul is strong"
"Seest thou the thither shore 2"
Il see it, father, and its banks are greer
with immortal verdure."
"Hearest thou the voices of its inhabit
ants?"
"I hear them, father, as the voice of an
gels, calling from afar in the still and solemn
nighttime; and they call me. Her voice
too, father-oh, heard it them
"Doth she speak to thee?"
"She speaketh in tones most heavenlyp
Doth she smile?'
An angel smile! A calm, sweet smile
but am old-cold-cold! Father, there
a mist in the room. You'll be lonely, lonely
Is this death, father?"
And SO she passed away.-Mew Orlean
Picayune.

VERY AcooMoDATING.-In certain New
England parish difficulty arose about the
location of the new Westinghouse, and the
church was rent with the division.
The pastor at length preached melting
sermon on the Importance Of union, and the
congregation was moved to tears. The next
morning deacon Jones went over early to see
his opponent, deacon Shaw, to make an earn
est desire for peace, when the following dia-
logue ensued:
Deacon J.-"Deacon Shaw, / haven't
slept wink all night; and I've come over to
see if we can't have peace on the. subject OF
the eeting-house-we must settle this diff
fculty."
Deacon Swell, I'm very happy to
hear you talk SO, for to tell the truth, have
always thought you were little set in your
own way"
Deacon j." Not at all-and as proof
that am not, I've come this morning, on
purpose to see you. Now, deacon Shaw, we
must settle this unhappy difficulty, and
there's but one way to do it--you must give
it up, for yon't"

Too Quick in the Apphcation.-"It is a
matter of amazement to me that ministers don't
write better sermons" said lady in the presence
of a parson. 81 am sick of their dull and prosy
affairs"
"But it is no easy matter to write good SER
mons" suggested the minister
"Yes," said the lady, "but you are so long about
it, could write one in half the time, if only had
the text"
"Shall furnish you one?"

"Well, take this from Solomon,-'It 1t is better
to dwell in a corner of house-top, than with
brawlng woman in a wide house."
"Do you mean me, sir 2" inquired the lady,
quickly.
"Oh, my good woman" was the grave response
"you will never make good sermonizer, you are
too quick in your application !"
"A young lady in the millinery line, was
deserted by her adorer and to retaliate she broke
forth

of politeness, was once examining some flowers in
garden, when beautiful girl, who was of the

"Oh, Mr. Smith, this pea will never come to
perfection"
Permit me thcn," said Sidney, taking her hand
to the pea"
The husband of beautiful wife, upon
returning home one day, was met by one of his
offspring all smiles, clapping his little hands, and
saying
"Pa, Mr.. - has been here-he's such nice
mamie kissed us all around, and kissed mother

The Hot SPRINGS OF ARKANsAs.-The
New Orleans Picayune gives the following
graphic description of these springs:
They are situated in steep, rocky glen,
between almost perpendicular, thinly-wooded
mountains, having for accessories a pretty
stream, considerable village being on one
side of the stream, and one little mill busily
at work.
The main hot springs gush out Of the face
of the mountain, about eighty or hundred
feet above the base. The water is pure and
limpid, and its entire body would fill pipe
of sixteen or eighteen inches in diameter, if it
all issued at one spot. The temperature va
ries from 1O5 to l53 deg. of Fahrenheit.
The water, although apparently pure to the
eye and taste, deposites mixture of slick
and carbonate of lime, forming lava-like
stone. Baths are arranged where hot water
issues from the foot of the mountain, to which
the water is carried from the springs above,
so that the bather may have either vapor
or hot-water bath.

SHARP PRAoT1cE.-An elderly gentleman
living three or four miles from town was
slightly taken in" last week by buxom
widow. The old gentleman held a mortgage
for small amount upon a piece Of land own
ed by the widow, who also owed him fifteen
dollars on book account The old gentleman
feeling matrimonially inclined, made a pro-
posal to the lady, who agreed to accept him
if he would cancel the mortgage held by him
and forgive her the other debt. He accord
ingly came to town cancelled the mortgage
on the record, and destroyed all evidence of
his pecuniary claims upon her. When he re-
turned home, she refused to marry him, de-
nying any agreement to that effect between
them, and declared that she had paid him,
in cash, all claims against her. The last we
heard of the matter, the disappointed man
was in town, in search of legal advice as to
whether he could sue out writ of attach
ment, and take her nolens volens.- Wape1o

THE SCENES OF LONG AGO.

BY j. DAY.
'Tis a summers evening twilight,
And the zephyr soft and still,
Lulls to sleep each rising passion,
Soothes to peace each wayward will;
And the shadows, slowly lengthening,
Seem to bring me as they grow,
Mem'ries of the ne'er forgotten,
Times of long, all long ago,
Gazing on scene in rapture,
Dimly rising from the past,
While it brightens DER my senses
Others come and this is lost,
Now see youthful playmate,
Now a streamlets lucid glow,
Here sprightly, happy maiden,
Whom loved in long ago.
Blasted hopes, and ruined prospects,
Crowd upon my dimming sight;
Youthful playmates in the churchyard,
Buried by affiiction's blight;
Scenes Of happiness and sorrow,
Pleasure ntermixed with woe,
Traced tnrOugn n1etlme, as checker,
In the scenes of long ago.
1t is as well and kindly nature
Saw that if she banished woe,
Pleasure would as sure be wanting
Summer lose its wonted glow.
TIME glides on, mighty river,
And beneath q silent flow,
Soon will / be lost and numbered,
With the things ofLoNG AGO.

BLUE LAWS OF VIRGINIA..

The following is taken from an old collec-
ton of the laws of Va, and was enacted in
1862, and in force as late as 1878:
"CHAPrER III. An act against persons that
refuse to haze their children baptized:
"Whereas, many chismatical persons, either
out of averseness to the orthodox established
religion, or out Of the new tangled conceits Of
their own heretical invention, refuse to have
their children baptized:
general assembly, and the authority thereof:
That all and every person or persons, that in
contempt of the divine sacrament of baptism,
shall refuse, when he or they may carry his
or their child or children to lawful minister
in that county where he or they dwell, to have
them baptized, shall be amerced two thousand
pounds of tobacco; half to the parish, half to
the informer.
CHAPTER V. An act for the punishment Of
scandalous persons:
l. Whereas, many babbling women SANDER
and scandalize their neighbors, for which their
poor husbands are often involved in chargea-
bic and vexatious lawsuits, and cast up great
damages:
2. Be 1t therefore enacted By the authority
aforesaid: That in actions for SANDER, occa-
stoned by the wife, after judgment passed for
the damages, the woman shall be punished
by ducking; and if the SANDER shall be so
enormous as to be adjudged at greater DAM
ages than five hundred pounds of tobacco,
then the woman to suffer ducking for each
five hundred pounds of tobacco adjudged
against the husband, if he refuse to pay the
tobacco"
