Love for the Dead,


The love that survives the tomb,
says Irving, is one Of the noblest at
tributes OF the soul. 1t has its W woes,
it has likewise its delights; and when
tho overwhelming burst of grief is
calmed into the gentle tear Of recol-
lection, thon the sudden anguish and
eonvulsed agony is over, the present
ruins Of those we most loved are sof-
tened away into pepsive meditation
on all that was in the day Of its low
illness. WHO would ROOT sorrow from
the heart, though it may sometimes
throw o passing cloud over the hour
Of gayety, or spread deep sadness
over the hour Of gloom T? Yet who
would exchange it even for the song
Of pleasure or the burst of revelry
No, there is,a veice from the tomb
Of sweeter than tho song; there is a
remembrance Of the dead to which we
turn even from the charm ofthe living
Freeman's champion., 1858-08-12
Where the Plaster Was.

A certain doctor (rather modest
young man by the way) was recent
ly called in to see lady who had
been taken suddenly i'll. The doctor
found the application of a mustard
plaster necessary, and accordingly
went to work and made one, and laid
it carefully by to prepare the lady for
its application. Everything being
ready, the doctor sought the plaster,
but strange to say, it had disappeared.
The doctor and the negro nurse
searched high and low, in every prob
able place for the missing plaster,
but in vain; it was gone, no one
could tell where, The nurse had not
seen it since the doctor laid it on the
chair, There was no other alterna-
tive but to go to work and make an
other, which was accordingly done.
But still the question would present
itself to all-what had become of that
plaster The circumstances of its
having been spirited away began to
tell unfavorably upon the sick lady's
nervous Sensibility; but the doctor
could not help it; he could not ex-
plain the mystery. The doctor in a
deep brown study prepared to leave,
and stood up before the warm fire to
warm himself before encountering
the cold without. Through the force
of vulgar habit, he parted his coat
tails behind, when the nurse, display
ing about four inches of ivory, said /;
81 found de plaster, maSsa doctor"
Where ?" eagerly asked the doc
tor, "where is it?"
+" You got it ahind," said the nurse,
grinning.
The doctor clapped his hands be-
hind, and there it was sticking fast
to the seat of his breeches, where he
had sat down ON it when it was lying
on the chair. This was too much for
the modest doctor. He seized his
hat and bolted nor could he be pre-
vailed on to visit the lady during her
sickness.
