how Aqua-fortis operated On Cid Joe

dNA Aoi itiS operated On CId Joe
In The pretty village of Haddonheld.
New Jersey, rome years ago, there resi-
ded an old fellow who was familiarlv
known IN the town and country round as
Old Joe" He had no particular occu.
patton except doing chores or errapds.
nor any particular location. He ate
where he could get a bite, and slept
wherever he could find a lodging place.
Joe was regular old topper, and JERSEY
lightning had no more effect on his insides
'han so much water He generally mada
ms head quarters at the lower tavern.
Tor there were two in the town. He
would sleep and doze away the afternoon
on an old bench in one corner of the b,r-
room, but was always awake when tbara
was any drinking going on. When he
was not asked to drink he would sin 70
the bar, and drain The glasses of The few
drops left IN them. One afternoon. DIR
boius' the village physician, was in the
tavern, mixing up preparation. He
placed a tumbler half full of aqua fortis
on the bar, and turned round to mix some
other ingredients. \ few moments af-
ter he had occasion to use the poisonous
drug, when he found to his dIsnav thar
the tumbier had been drained to tho Ias,
drop.
Mr.. NIggins," exclaimed the Doc
tor IN alright TO the landlord, :" what has
become of the aqua fortis | put on the
bar few moments ago? 2"
81 don't know" replied the landlord.
: unless old Joe slipped in and drank it,,
In this suspicion they were both soon
confirmed, for the hostlar said he had
seen Old Joe swallow the fatal draugbt.
The doctor knowing that he must GER
talnly die after such dose. Instituted y
search al once. After some hours spent
IN looking through the barns, out houses
and woods, for tLree or four miles about
the village, he was abandoned to his fate
1t was a cold night, and as. the village
topers assembled around the biazino hicl,-
ory fire in the bar-room, nothinr was
thought of or talked of but the unfortu-
na'e end Of poor Old Joe. Some four
days had elapsed, and nothing having
been heard from Old Joe, they all came
to the conclusion that he was gooer.r
The Doctor, about this time had occasion
TO VISIT patient some eight miles distant;
what was his surprise, when about five
miles from the village to see Old Joe in
front Of farmers house splitting wood.
Why, Joe" said the Doctor, riding
up TO the fence, Il thought you were dead
and buried before this"
" Why, what made you think that. Doc
'orE SAID Joe, leaning on his ak han
die.
" Didn't yon drink that dose that I left
on old Wiggin's bar, few days sincea"
" Yes" replied Joe, half ashamed to
own it.
Do you know what i. was 2" asked
the Doctor
NoE returned Joe.
Why, it was aqua fortis-enoueh to
kill a dozen men,
Well, now, Doctor, do you know that
| thought there was something queer
about that darned stuff for after drank

CHEAP AND EXCELLENT CANDL

CHEAP AND ExcELLENr CASDLEs.-I
kept both tallow and lard candles through
last Summer the lard candles standing
the heat bes., and burnt, q quite as well,
and giving as good light as tailow ones.
Directions for making good candles from
lard: For II ID. of lard, take one lb. of
saItpere, and ID. of alum: mix them,
and pulverize them, dissolve the saltpetre
and alum In a gill of boiling water; pour
the compound into the lard before it IS
quite melted; stir the whole Ui.til it boils;
skim of what rises; let il simmer till the
water is all boiled out, or till it ceases 10
throw off steam; pour off the lard as soon
as it is done, and clean the boiler while
1t is hot If the candies are TO be run.
YOU may commence Immediately; if to be
dipped, let the lard cool first to a cake.
and then treat as yon would tallow-Cor.

/ Indiana turned TO look. Beca sat there
sui looking on the glowing coal, and
weaving a web of thought that left its
trace in sadness on her face.
g IL Penserosa. A sweet face" JefIer-

He passes to Beca's side. She does
not heed HIM

She is recalled TO self, and laughs
quietly.
" 1t is an open book from which all

Tlmberwilk is somewhat mistifed with
this answer, and he shows it plainly.

Jefferson is sill mistifed. There is a
low whirring and whizzing near, and
looking up over the fireplace he sees on
the face of a small German clock, over
the dial plate, band of wooden soldiers
march galIantiy forth from folding doors;
they present arms while the clock strikes
three, and then as suddenly disappear be-
hind the doors, with the same whirring
and whizzing as before
Three! how time flies The Gener-

night, and merry Christmas to all

A happy Christmas to you, sir. You
will excuse my rising. My friends here
are tardy in their support"
Her face crimsoned IN the glare of the
fire light as she drew the crutches to her
side

involuntary abruptness, and then apollo
gizingly-'' an invalid perceive"
The dancing girls arms were round
her friends neck, and as Beca said sweet
ly yes" her face lighted up in a glow
of holy resignation.

his footsteps down the stairway.

Timberwilk, as he swung open one of the
jaws of the cavern. The stranger was
asleep in his chair against the wall. The
goblin. Cheep, was manufacturing small
thunder ia the subterranean bin; the dis
turbed district was somnolent, and the pro-
prietor of the den, as he slipped between
his bachelor cortens, was meditative.
He had sat beside his bulbul; she had
swept over his susceptible heart the sweet
minstrelsy of her voice. But Beca The
young girl came up ever between him
and the danseus, and, singular to say,
Timberwilk did not seek TO drive the IN
truding image back. Beca was puzzle.

By cool Siloams shady rill,
How sweet the lily grows;
How sweet the breath beneath the hill
OF sharons dewy rose
Lo, such the child whose early feet
The paths Of peace have trod
Whose secret heart with influence sweet

The lily must decay
The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away
And soon TOO soon, the wintry hour

And stormy passions rage

Within thy Fathers shfinei

Were all alike divine.

In childhood, manhood, age and death.
To keep rs stiu thine own.

1t is thought, in view of the menacing Nor

than to run the risk of the dangers which repub

state of sectional feeling, increase of this kind
of force is especially TO be deprecated. 1t ough,
not to be desired by either section for it cannot b.
