A Tale of Horror.

About thirty years ago, Mr.. Joseph st.
Clair built cabin in Arkansas, far up toward
the head waters Of White River. 1t was then
wilderness country for many miles around,
and game was very abundant. There was no
lack of bear, catamounts, wolves and pam
theirs. In fact that country was, at the date,
perfect paradise for the practiced hunter.
Mr. st. Clair had no family other than a
young wife and one infant He was fond Of
hunting, but he cultivated few acres in corn
and vegetables. At first it was fully ten miles
to his nearest neighbors, but during the en-
suing Spring a man named Williams made a
settlement within half mile of St. Clair's and
the two families became neighbors and quite
intimate ..- n- sf..aea g.sr 7...1.a
Mr.. Williams was man in humble cir
cumstances and had large family, mostly of
grown daughters, and no small children. One
day in the month of July, 1929, (the first
summer that Mr.. St. Clair lived there,) his
wife was at home with the child, and Mr.. St.
Clair was off with his gun. . 49,.
About ten o'clock in the morning she left
her baby asleep in the cradle, and went to the
field to gather beans for dinner. On her re-
turn the child was gone. She, however, felt
| no alarm, because she supposed that her hus-
band had come home during her absence and
had hidden somewhere about the house with
the child merely for little fun; so she bust,
ed herself in preparing dinner In an hour
or two her husband returned from the woods
bearing his gun and young deer that he had
killed, and on inquiry declared that he knew
nothing of the child. ~ Hys-g -5aa.a.
They now supposed that one of Mr.. vii
liam's daughters had come in while Mrs. St
Clair was out, and finding the baby, of which
she was fond, she had carried it home. This
theory was to them quite satisfactory, fo1

Exceedingly Frcnchy.

The Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Er-
press writes:
A young clerk has been for the last four
years employed in the counting house of a
Paris merchant, in the Spanish trade. This
latter has niece, brought up in Spain, and
an orphan. She is not beautiful, but refined
and intelligent. At balls which she attended
here, the past winter, escorted by her uncle,
she danced but little the truth being that
she was seldom invited, except when the
young clerk CHANGED to be present and Of
fered the ciyility of requesting her to be his
partner in a quadrille. 1t was thus that their
acquaintance was made and ripened
A fortnight ago, the clerk obtained per-
mission from Mademoselle Fabrica to de-
mand her hand in marriage from her guar
dian, his employer. The latter seemed sur
prised and received the proposal with coolness.
However, after long consultation with his
niece, he gave his consent, and the marriage
took place as soon as the necessary formali-
ties could be accomplished.
Two days subsequently, at breakfast, the
young bride, observing the discomfort of her
husband at being obliged to return to bust
ness so early in the honey moon, said:
"Well, don't go to-day. Don't 20 any
more p
Mot 60 to the counting house, my love.
That is easy enough to say, but"
.It is easy to do, ALSO"
"Indeed! How SOP"
Nothing more simple in the world l
have a million and half of fortune In my
apparently modest position determined to
choose q husband with a good heart. Dc
you blame me?"
The gentleman's reply is not recorded.

The Retaliation,

So much has been said and sung about
hoops and crinOline; and the wags of the
newspapers, from Punch down to the weakest
echo, have printed so many killing things
about the ladies' fashions and costumes, that
it is no more than just that the sex should
retaliate Fair play for woman demands that
she should answer these wise wits according
to their wisdom That the male creatures are
open to animadversion is evident. The evi
dence is prima facie. If the circumference of
the ladies is conspicuous, the hirsute appear
ance of the men is no less so. 'By the beard
of Mahomet," is an oath of which our present
generation of exquisites must haye high ap-
probation; for each seems to hold his own
beard in the proudest estimation.
Gesticulation is now reduced to very sim
pie science, and the old oratorical canon, sac
tion,' Is changed to "pull, pull, pull" If a
man would impress upon the hearer his firm
determinaGon, as he speaks, the beard is
twitched with jerk which would be destruc-
tive to any sham. If patient consideration is
intended, the fingers move slowly over the
thicket. Ii subject is to be gone into in all
its bearings, the hand carefully clasps the
whole growth, and follows it down to the ex. @
treme end of the bunch, with careful tender
ness and thoughtful economy. Various other
are the expressive signs and symbols; too
many by far to particularize. Gentlemen
must mean something by it, or they certainly
would keep their hands off their faces.
1t would be a subject of inquiry worth
the genius of Thomas Moore himself t.
ascertain what an exquisite does with his
beard when he makes declaration; whether
he holds the lady's hand in his right, if shs
will suffer it, and pulls at his beard with his
left or vice versa. 1t cannot be supposed
that any one with crop Of such consequence
can forget to keep it under hand cultivation
even while he makes love- To ask suitol
to forget his own personal graces while h
proposes, would be to ask him to throw away

Bcecher on Coffee.

Henry Ward Beecher has realizing
sense" of what good coffee is He writes
thus :-"Breakfast is ready. A most useful
and salutary custom is that Of breakfast One
may work with the hand without breakfast,
but not with the head-the machine must be
wound up. The blue must be taken out of
your spirits and the grey out of your eyes,
A cup of coffee-real coffee-home- Drowned,
home-ground, homemade, that comes to you
as hazel eye, but changes to golden bronze
as you temper it with cream, from its birth,
thick, tenderly yellow, perfectly sweet, nei-
ther lumpy nor frothing on the Java; such q
cup Of coffee is match for twenty blue devils,
and will exercise them all. Involuntarily one
draws in his breath by the nostrils. The fra
GRANGE fills his senses with pleasure, for no
coffee can be good in the mouth that does not
first send sweet offering of odor to the nos
trils." ...,,.

A Young Lady In a Trance-..NarrOW
Escape from Burial.

The Peoria Union of the 9th inst, learns
from Mr.. R. d. Story, of Medina township, in
that county, that his daughter Elizabeth, a girl
about nineteen, had a yeritable trance few
days ago. The only premonitory symptoms
seems to have been that on the previous morn
ing she felt she had not slept all night, and
yet was not conscious of having been awake"
She was in good health and spirits through
the day, (3lst ultimo,) but retired early and
seemed so soundly asleep when her sister came
to bed, that the latter could not wake her.
In the morning she was found apparently dead.
The Union continues: In few hours pre-
parations were in progress for the burial of the
body, and Thursday set for the funeral. The
neighbors were called in, and after consulta-
ton all decided that it was best to bury her
at the time suggested, no one considering it
necessary to call a physician.
On Wednesday evening, however, before
the coffin had been brought, while the younger
brother was looking on the face of his dead
sister he thought he saw the lips move, and
livid with fear ran to communicate his suspi-
cions to his mother. She was just entering
the front door, receiving some friends from
Henry county, and at the announcement ut
tered most agonizing Shrek Of surprise
This was instantly followed by one from the
chamber where Elizabeth was lying, and when
the mother and friends entered the room she
was sitting on the cooling board, as much sur
prised at the alarm of her friends as they were
at her sudden recovery from what they
thought the grave. The joy of her friends at
her recovery can be better imagined than de-
scribed. Mr.. Story is lately from Henry
county, and his statement stands endorsed by
four families residing near him. On Saturday
morning Miss Story was in perfect health, but
from dread superstition will not explain her
feeling while in the state of trance. She
avoids speaking Of it.

Among the Farmers,

A short trip into the farming districts of
this county few days since, enabled us to
realize from observation that notwithstanding
all that has been said concerning the promis-
ing condition of the crops in this State, mot
half has been told" The wealth of grain
now waving like miniature seas over the thou
sand fields everywhere to be seen in Southern
Minnesota, is really astonishing, and surpass-
es all that we have ever before seen. This,
too, appears to be the conclusion of veteran
farmers, who aver that during many years of
agricultural experience they have never had
better prospect before them for an abundant
harvest than at this time. Wheat, oats, rye,
and potatoes, all partakc of this condition of
thrift. Corn, however, appears to be an ex-
ception. Until last week, it had apparently to
struggle through many difficulties to make its
appearance above ground but within the past
few days change has taken place for the
better, and the plant, though small, wears
healthy and promising appearance. We do
not despair of an average crop of corn this
year. .. ..-.. 80 i... I'd. .r
The farmers, generally, are in an. exu]tant
state of mind over the prospects for the fu-
ture. We trust they may realize their most
successful anticipations, for upon their success
depends, in great measure. that of the coun-
try WiaOnG Republican. r..

If gentlemen could only wear this graceful
ornament and not seem to be SO ronstantly
aware of it, the fashion would be less OBJ
trusive. There is no objection to boards, GER
tainly, but the troublesome consciousness
that there is something on their faces which
oppresses so many persons, is decidedly a
drawback from the elegance of the append
age. If ever man appears to disadvantage
in the ladies' eyes, (at least so they tell us)
it is when he is occupied with his own person
al appearance. And the long beard appears
to have many of those who wear it in this
unfavorable predicament. 1t is quite as no
torious as the crinoline, and not half SO grace.
full. And then, again, who can tell how old
the beard may be, that shines in luxurious
jettiness, or in beautiful auburn, "brown in
the shadow, and gold in the sun ?" Inscrip-
tons stare at you in the bars windows, "Pri-
vate apartments for dyeing boards ?" Ehu!
Don't be taken in ladies, by appearances, but
demand a chemical test. Look out for Tit
mice in these bearded gentry. Beware ofTit-
tlebats. They will forget to dye as soon as
they are married, and live on in grey to
tease you.
