BRoDEmcKs GRAvE-Broderick grave is
marked by little mound of sand on the

Cemetery inclosure. The spot may be known
at distance by the Surveyors mast planted
at the very foot of the grave. A wreath of
withered roses and geraniums, and fresh
calla blossom, broken from the roots and
thrust into the sand, testified that the late

SINGULAR CraYingS.

Standard medical publications give we'll
authenticated facts, showing that, following
the cravings of the appetite, the animal in
stinct has accomplished far more than the
physicians skill was able to do--has saved
life in multitude of cases, when science
had done its best, but in vain.
About three years ago, the little daugh-
Ter Of a farmer on Hudson river had fall,
which induced long, painful and danger
Gus illness, ending in blindness. Medica-
ton avails nothing. By accident, a switch
containing maple buds was placed in her
hands, when she began TO eat them, and
called earnestly for more, and continued to
eat them with ayidity, improving mean
while in her general health for some fifteen
days or more, when this particular relish
left her, and she called for candy, and, as
in case of the buds, ate nothing else for two
weeks, when this also was dropped, more
natural taste returning with returning eye
sight and usual health. This was instinct
calling for those articles Of food which con-
tanned the elements, the want of which lay
between disease and recovery.
A gentleman, aged thirty-six, seemed to
be in the last stage of consumptive disease,
when he was seized with an uncomfortable
desire for common table salt. He spread it
in thick layers over his meat, and over his
bread and butter; he carried a in his vest
pocket, which was daily emptied by eating
pinch at a time. He regained his health,
and remained well for years afterwards.
There are many persons who can record,
I from their own personal experience, the
beginning of return to health, from graft
! flying some insatiate desire. The celebrated
Professor Charles Caldwell was fond of re-
lating 10 his lectures, that a young lady,
abandoned to die, called for some pound
cake, which "scienee" would have pro-
nounced deadly dose; but as her case
was considered hopeless, she was gratifed,
and recovered, living in good health after
ward. But in some forms of dyspepsia, to
follow the cravings is to aggavate disease
life is made more intolerable, and suicide
closes the scene, In low feyers, typhoid,
yielding to the cravings is certain death.
To know when and how 10 follow the in
stinct of appetite, to crafty the cravings of
nature, is Of inestimable value. There is
rule which is always safe, and viii save
life in multitudes of cases, where the most
skillfully exhibited" drugs have been en-
tirely uuavailing. Partake at first of what
nature seems to crave, in very small guam
ties; if no uncomfortable feeling follows,
gradually increase the amount, till no more
is called for.-iSriientife AmeTicG.

AN ARKANSAS GrRL's RESENTMENT

AN ARKANSAS GIRL's RESENTMENT
Giving q Ffllow the Sack Literaly.-A
green awkward girl, the daughter of veal
thy parents in Arkansas, having come TO
--, in Massachusetts. to be educated,
a young dentist, named Brown, conceived
a notion that his shortest road to fortune
would be to marry her. But than she was
the laughing stock Of the seminary, because
she was so gaunt, masculine and ungenteel
in her dress and Brown felt that it would
require all his nerve TO stand the ridicule
of several of the young pupils with whom
he had firted until he was satisfied that
they had no money or expectations of any.
However, he consoled himslf with the refec-
tior that he should speedily obtain infu-
encc enough over her to enable him to be-
come, in measure, her adviser in the
matter of costume, manner &c. The fore
most thought was TO amend her long, lank
form, by the aid of crinoline, which she
had never worn, and his fattery had no
sooner secured him a confidential place in
her good graces before he ventured to make
her present of patent skirt or sack, to-
gether with hint to fix up pretty hand
somely for a ball, to which he had invited
her.
The night arrived, the party were as
sembled, and the Arkansas damsel made
her grand entree form the ladies' dressing
room amid the litter Of laughter from the
school girls and village bellies. The hoop

execuiioner, the girl we have mentioned
suddenly appeared among the crowd of no.
bles, dressed as she had been at the camp
of the workmen and rashing into the cen
tre OF the hall exclaimed
Stay, Inca Arrest the hand of justice
for moment, wl4ile put single question
to the unfortunate culprit 1t shah be such
as the Inca will not aisapprove,"
From the moment Of this strange appa-
rition, until the demand of the girl, there
was not scund heaad. The whole of the
aobies remained @otionless and silent. But
had no embarrassment overwhelmed them,
the presence Of their sovereign would have
restrained equally their words and their
actions. Iuasca, who alone was uamovsd,
nodded assent to the demand of the girl,
who walked up to the youth, aud laying
her right hand upon his left shoulder, and
standing little on one side that his coun.
tenance might be seen by the Inca, said
"Young man of the hills where Huasca
is ever known, hast thou chosen the child
of the wales in preference to the daughter
Of thy sovereign"
To which the youth after steadfastly ne
gardng the adored creature beside him,
turned to Huasca and said:
"4he will of the Great Source of Light
be done The sentence of the Inca is just.
Then again turning to the girl, added:
Farewell, loved and lost onei My sac
rifce sttests my devotion / go now to
await thy coming in land where work
without hope is not demanded.
"But wherefore didst thou not" then
said the maiden, finish the work thou
ha6st undertaken? Was not the hope of
possessing the Inca's daughter and favor a
sufficient recompense?"
1t had been done," said the youth, ''had
the labor been accompanied with the hope
OF possessing thee!
AT this candid reply, the young girls sud-
denly throwing off her upper garments
which had hidden those which would have
betrayed her true character, and taking the
entranced youth by the hand, advanced up
to the foot of the throne of the Inca, and
exclaimed
Great father Of the sun, whom thou
lowest as thyself, demand the remission Of
the sentence against the youth now bowed
down before thee, until it be known wheth-
er the great work he has undertaken car
be accomplished or not"
| Huasea whose affection for his daughter
was beyond all other faelings,. and electri
fled by the occurrence, gladly assented tc
the proposal. A few months after this the
acqueduct was completed, and the engineer
married his first and only love, the prin.
cess.

The SPIDERS THgEAp.-Tbat crea
ture could be found TO fabricafe a net, not
less ingenius than that Of the fisherman,
for the capture of its prey; that it should
fix it in the right place, and then patiently
await the result, is a proceeding so strange
that, if we did not see it done daily before
our eyes by the common house-spider and
garden-spider, it would seem wonderful.
But how much is our wonder increased
when we think of the complex fabric OF
each thread, and then of the mathematical
precision and rapidity with which, in GER
tain cases, the net itself is constructed
and to add to this, as an example of the
wonders which the most common things
exhibit when carefully examined, the net
of the garden-spider consists of two dis
tinet kinds of silk. The threads forming
the concentric circles are composed Of a
silk much more elastic than the rays, and
are studded over with minute globules Of a
viscid gum, sufficiently adhesive to retain
unwary flies which comes in contact with it.
4 net Of average dimensions is estimated
by Mr.. Blackwell TO contain $3.50 of
these, and large net of IL or l6 inches
in diameter, 10000; and yet such a net
will be completed by one sPecies-Epe,ia
apoclica-in about forty minutes, on an
average, il no interruption occurs.-LrtrO-
