Romance of a Silk-Stocking.

A few DAYS since, two ladies and gentle
men we'll known in the Fifth avenue and
fashionable circles up town, being out to-
gether on an excursion in Broadway, dropped
in at Percelrs and ordered dinner 1t was
served in the most exquisite style, with the
rarest game, wines, &c, at a cost OF hfty-two
dollars The company converted the enter
tainment in to a revelry which was prolonged
to very late hour. At length as the tes-
tval closed the parties repaired to their
respective homes, somewhat oblivlous OF the
mode in which the adventure had terminated,
The next day, as the sun was up in the sky,
one of the ladies awoke from her trance, and
found herself quietly reposing in her own
elegant apartments Recalling her senses,
she arose and proceeded to perform her tot
lette Having completed the attiring Of her
elegant person. she next attempted to adorn
herself with jewels, when, to her extreme
disappointment they were not to be found.
Somebody must have stolen them was her
first thought. 4 diamond cross, earrings,
pins, etc, worth about q thousand dollars
had all been taken 1t was perplexing to
decide who was the robber. Her friends,
with whom she had spent so many pleasant
hours, were above susplcloni and yet she
could imagine no one else who could have
been near enough to perpetrate the crime.
| In this dilemma she sought the assistance
| OF the police, obstinately refusing, however,
| to reveal the names of the parties with whom
| she had dined She offered a large reward
| for the recovery OF the missing articles. The
detectives myloyed their utmost skill to fer.
ret out the purloiners, but in vain. Her
| friends, learning her misfortune, offered to
make up her loss, but to this she would not
consent Not a little excitement prevailed
in the circles in which the parties moved
| which was heightened by the mystery which
| hung around the matter
| But the saotion came at last, in manner
most unexpected. Two or three days ago
| the lady in question was dressing for a
| walk and attempting to put on pair of
silk hose which had not been worn for some
time, when, to her astonishment, in the foot
of one of her stockings she discovered her
missing icwelry. She had on the evening
of the dinner, placed the articles there for
safe keeping, AID had not been conscious at.
forwards of the circumstance The first
glad excitement over. she hastened to inform
her friends Of the occurrence. 1t was re-
solved to keep the mattera profound secret,
but it had been placed in to many hands,
and it soon came to the knowledge Of out
siders.-[N. Y. Post.

Terrible Insanity.

At Ranville-la-P Place, French soldier
on furlough, named Risbey, when visiting
his family, was suddenly seized with an in
voluntary phrenzy A physician who saw
him ordered that he should be closely watch
ed, but he contrived to possess himself of a
Ratchet with which he Immediately knoched
out the brains of an invalid brother, lying. in
his bed He then set fire to the house, and
with his Ratchet MANAGED the people who
came to extinguish the flame lie next
rushed across the fields, and meeting three
peasants Fastening to the scene of the con
flagration, he instantly seized and killed
two of them, and would have done as much
for the third had he not made the best use
of his heels. He then went to the church,
the aged sexton of which he laid dead at his
feet with two blows of his hatchet after
which, entering the body OF the church, and
laying aside his fearful weapon, he went
to the alter, took UP the sacred vessels, the
wine and consecrated waters, and began to
initiate the priestly functions at bigh mass
He was thus engaged when the cure and
and some gens-d armes arrived. The cure
with voice of authority, desiredAim to de-
scend from Il g alter The man obeyed, and
was then secured The amount Of damage
caused by the fire was assessed at 1000
francs.

Silent and cold-ah, me!
The Pretty girl of Bsllickmoylsr.

The sun had shone behind the hills,
The sheep were mid the trees reposng,
The evening shades fell Ger the glades,
= And natures eyes were softly closing.
We passed the quiet graves of Aries,
While weary birds were horneward flying
The new-mown hay perfumed the way,
Fen where the village dead was lying
No more | sought than passing thought,
To cheer and sooth the way-worn toiler,
Till, luckless sight, saw that night
The pretty girl of Ballickmoyler.
The winsome girl
The witching girl
The rarest girl in Ballickmoylcr.
Her winning ways-her roguish gaze
Her form SO slisht-her smile 30 cheer
ing
Her silken hair, and face so fair
Was ever damsel so endearing?
Her love-like breast-sweet bower OF rest
A balm to heal life S worst vexations!
What Irish boy could shun such joy,
Yet would of fame and peace bespoil her
Blow, blossoms blow-grow, roses grow
Safe mid the braes of Ballickmoyler
The village rose
The fair young rose
That sweetly blooms in BalIiekmoyier

'Tis dream or SO Of years ago,
Somewhere in the west countree,
That q nice girl liyed-as the Hoosiers

By the name Of Deborah Lee;
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe,
But Deborah by mel
Now was green and she was green
As q summer squash might be;
But we loved as warmly as others loved,

With love that the lassies Of Ho0sierdom
Coveted her and me.
But somehow it happened long ago,

To my beautiful Deborah Lee;
And the grim Steam Doctor Course him y
came
And bore her away from me,
The Doctor and Death-old partners they

The angels wanted her up in Heaven,
(But they never asked for me,)
And that is the reason, rather guess,
In the aguish west countree,
That the cold March wind and the Doctor
and Death,
Took off my Deborah Lee,
My beautiful Deborah Lee;
From the warm sunshine and the opening
flowers,
And hid her away from me.
Our love was strong as six-horse team
Or the love Of the folks older than we,
And possibly wiser than we.
But Death with the aid of the Doctor and

SO he closed the peppers and stopped thu
breath
OF my sweetheart, Deborah Lee;
And her form lies cold in the prairie

Cause of Sickness and Death

Rev, Theodore Parker recently delivered
sermon in Boston on this topic, based on the
exhortatiou Of Paul to the jailor, "Do myself
no harm" The substance of the discourse
was as fallows:
'Most of the sickness and pain of the hui
mum race is useless. Old age is the only le-
gitimate cause Of DEATH The farmer would
be astonished totind his orchard grounds Gov
cred with green halfgrown apples IN June
Or July, but welcomes the Handsome" sight
Of the ripe mellow fruit in October and No
yember
The principal, abstract cause of his sick.
ness and premature death the speaker be.
leved to be in the saying Of the great Apos
tie, For ! know that in me Chat is in my
ilesh) dweileth no good thing" For this
confession he severely criticized the great
brave, though mistaken Paul, saying tina:
he was an unsafe guide, and stoutly asserting
that from the apex of the head to the last
phalanx Of the foot, the Good God" he'd
made every bone, sand muscle and nerve
good.
The ideal man of the Church, instead of a
great strong, burlv, six foot, full chested,
red-faced handsome man, with beard upon
his chin and an appetite Tor his dinner, was
a sleak, lean, weak creature, living upon wa
ter-cresses, and only eating because he must,
not because he wished.
lntemperance gluttony and RIGHTEOUSNESS
were enumerated as among the concrete
causes of sickness and early death. These
are male vices, though often involving inno-
cent wives and children in the fire that con
sumes the licentieus and guilty husband and
| father.
| Idleness was another of the concrate caues
| of these evils, and was characterized as a
| female view Woman is, naturally, more
! Industrious than man. yet, from false con
struction Of society, and the force of public
| opinion, she is made idle and then is often
sick because she has nothing else to do. :
But the worst phase Of this evil is that it
! glories in its own shame. The idle woman
| often boasts that she is unable to lift her own
| baby, while to the true woman, there is no
higher pride than to bear and care for her
! offspring.
Formerly, wild beasts. cold, and hunger
| were the great enemies OF man. The higher
races have now, nearly overcome these oppos-
| ing forces: still the food, clothing, and shell
| ter of the most enlightened nations are far
| IRON perfect.
| upwards Of 5000 children born yearly
intEdinburgh, more than 1000 died before
| fifteen days old--a slaughter of the innocents
at which evcnIIerod would have stood aghast
Two years after, the doctors ventilated the
| houses, and the mortality was reduced to a
few hundred
The present sty Of female attire, support
tedt he waist instead Of from the shoulders,
as our mothers held up their garments, came
| in for share of these great evils.
