And Sweet tile cost, when hearts are lost,
Ii those we love have found them;
And sweet the mind that still can find

But nought can be so sweet to see, .-
As old friends met together
Those days Of old, when youth was bold,
And time stole wings to speed it, -.
And YOU ne'er knew how fast time few,

Though gray each brow that meets us now

With hearts that friendship blesses;

wasn't that enough to give him the
heart-ache for years? No, he had not
appreciated his wife, now lost to him
forever. She was neither brilliant
nor q handsome woman; but, true as
steel to duty. Love for her husband
was a passion that involved all the ele-
ments of her life. But the delicacy OF
her perceptions too soon revealed the
sad truth that for some cause she had
failed to win from her husband love
IN any degree answering to her own
This so shadowed her feelings that size
often appeared unamiable in his ewes.
when she was only i'll strife with lid
den anguish. Gradually he grew indif
ferent, and simply because he did not
understand her. He imagined her in
capable Of deep affection, when every
chord in her. soul was thrilling in too
painful sensibility. ~
And so the darkening wears went on.
and the fevered pulses began to take a
slower beat. Mr.. Newcomb grew more
and more indifferent to his nervous, and
at times fretful, but daily fading wife.
Others saw that her days were num-
bered; but he did not take the alarm.
Mrs. Newcomb looks very thin and
feeble" remarked a friend. s'She isn't
quite so strong as she was, but shes
tough" replied the husband. Tough
AT the very moment her over-stretched
heartzstrings were beginning to yield
And he was in robust health-ruddv-
faced, clear-eyed, round -limbed, and
with every muscle in full vigor. lie
6could not sympathize with the feeble
woman moving about his house like a
shadow, nor comprehend how he was
daily -extinguishing a life that looked
vainly to him for the food upon which
it could alone exist.
Tough" IF she did linger on for a
time, it was pitying love for her fabes
that kept her alive, gave strength to
her feeble limbs, and endurance to her
sinking heart. And rs she became
weaker, he seemed rather to recede,
than draw near-to grow cold towards
her, instead of tender and eompassion-
ate. And SO her day went down in
clouds and rain. ..--r...
No, she had not been Appreciated
Mr.. Newcomb was a good sort of a
man, taking the general acceptation OF
the words-a pleasant neighbor, an
agreeable friend, an honest citizen; but
he had not proved a good husband to
the woman he had taken TO be his wife,
simply because be had not rightly com
pretended her quality, nor reached her
consciousness. She was Of finer spirit
ual texture than he had imagined, and
died because she could not live in the
earth-laden atmosphere he compelled
her to breathe. -.-s
"Not appreciated" There are Mrs.
Newcombs all around us. Their pale
faces haunt us at every turn; their
mournful funerals shadow our streets
their orphaned babes sit weeping fol
love in many lonely dwelling. and
the uddy-faced Mr.. Newcolnbs-smil
ing, affable, 'such good company,'' "a "a
vorites at every feast--are around rs
also. We send a word of truth to their
hearts: may its PASSAGE be sure and

MosT EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-Rel--
ative to the case of the woman Mrs.
Hayes, of the town of Day, Warren
County, of whom it is said that she has
lived now nineteen months without eat
ing morsel of food, and whose death
was recently announced in one Of the
parers of Albany, the Sandy Hill Her.
ald has the following: A3
Mrs. Hayes is not dead, but remains
IN the condition in which she has been
for many months past. q
a lncredulous as it may seem, there is
little, If any doubt, but that this woman
has livedfor more than eighteen months
without eating or drinking. We have
not alluded to the case before, for the
reason of its apparent incredulity; but
scientific gentlemen together with hun
dreds Of others, after the closest scruti-
ny, have become convinced that there
is no deception practiced, and that the
woman actually subsists without food
or water. .ss urc1a tJr-5l
In order to test the matter, a gentle
man took the woman to his residence,
and parties watched her day and
night for one month who say that she
neither ate or drank during that time,
and that on food being introduced into
the room concealed in the pockets OF
disinterested persons the woman would
go into horrible convulsions. The
same effect was produced by persons
taking tobacco, or any kind Of ardent
spirits where she was. - T
w are aware there are instances
on record somewhat akin to this, which
turn out to be frauds, but if this is q
deception, it has been SO adroitly prac
tlsed that every one who has examinee
it, has been duped. Besides, there il
no motive for deception; and it is quite
ncredlble that any person would suffer
to the extent that this woman has, fal
the sole purpose playing upon th'
credulty OF the public.

worthy OF the attention of the scientific
