m-A man who had never seen the
inside of Courthouse until he was in
troduced as a witness in case pending
in one of our District Courts sitting last
fall in the Northern part of the State,
being sworn, took a position with his
back to the jury, and began telling his
story to the Judge. Judge R-n,
in his bland and courteous manner, SAID,
"Address yourself to the jury, sir. -
The man made short pause; but not
comprehending what was said to him,
continued his narrative. His Honor
was then more explicit, and said to him,
"speak to the jury, sir-the men sitting
behind you on the benches" The wit
ness then turned around, and making
an awkward bow, said, with great gray
ity of manner, "Good morning, gentle
men"

A Man whose Heart Cam be Seen.

Vienna has lately been visited by a
phenomenon in human nature. There
is a man who has his heart laid bare for
the inspection of his fellow-men. The
breast-bone and ribs, owing to strange
malformation, not arching over, as usual,
the central organ of the body, the thin
covering of the skin allows the heart to
be easily discerned in its contiguous
stages of action. So slight is the text
ure of the skin that the ebb and flow
of the blood, and the regular. contrac-
ton of the two chambers, are palpable
to the sense both of sight and touch
Herr Eugene Grouz, from Hamburg,
for this is the name of the individual,
has increased the experimental signif-
canoe of his own corpus by the applica-
ton to it of an electric apparatus, show
ing the time taken up in the several ac
tions of the member in question. Each
time the heart pumps up the life fluid a
bell rings. This lusus nature has been
the object of great curiosity, not only to
the members of the medical profession,
but to the public in general. He has
been paraded in all the hospitals and
colleges.

How to Retain a Good Face.

A correspondent of the Home Journal
has some good ideas on the Importance
of mental activity in retaining good
face. He says:
We were speaking of handsome men
the other evening, and [ was wondering
why K. had so lost the beauty for which
five years ago he was so famous. ooh,
it's because he never did anything" " said
B.; she never worked, thought, or suf-
fered. You must have the mind chisel-
ing away at the features if you want
handsome middle-aged men" Since
hearing that remark [ have been on the
watch to see whether it is generally
true, and it is A handsome man who
does nothing but eat and drink grows
fabby, and the fine lines of his features
are lost; but the hard thinker has an
admirable sculptor at work, keeping his
fine lines in repair, and constantly going
over his face to improve the original de,
sign.

poetrg.
A w I F z =.

The wife sat thoughtfully turning over
A book inscribed with the schoolgirls name;
A tear--one tear-fell hot ON the cover,
She quickly closed when her husband came
He came, and went away-it was nothing
With cold, calm words upon either side;
But, just as the sound of the room door shutting
A dreadful door in her soul stood wide.
Love, she had read of it in sweet romances--
Love that could sorrow, but never fail,
Built her own palace of noble fancies,
All the wide world fairy tale.
Bleak and bitter, and utterly doleful,
Spreads to the woman her map of life;
Hour after hour she looks in her soul, full
s3Of deep dismay and turbulent strife.
Face in both hands she knelt on the carpet;
The black cloud loosened, the storm rain fell
Oh! life has so much to wither and warp it
One poor hearts day, what poet can tell?

aea One meets occasionally with men

REAOne meets occasionally with men
and women who seem to have come into
the world to groan. Nothing pleases,
satisfies or consoles them. No moral
sunshine checkers with cheerful light
the abysmal gloom of their souls. Take
them into the fields on bright sunny
day, when the sweet breath of the tender
herbage makes the air perfume; take
them to the brimming brooks, gushing
down the upland meadows, and dancing
in the eddies to their own jocund music;
bid them listen to the feathered philos-
ophcrs hymning the golden day that is,
and taking no thought of the cloudy
morrow that may be; descant to them
with pleasant voice, on the beauty and
harmony of the fair world that God has
given to them to dwell in-and up from
the depths of their unsympathizing
spirits come such response as you
might expect from yawning grave.

A balloonist states that he ha

made the following discovery:
II take bar of brass, which, when
weighed on the earth's surface, actually
weighed Is pounds. When ascend
up three miles in the atmosphere and
weigh the brass bar, it actually weighs,
by spring balance, only seven and a
half pounds. Five miles up, it only
weighs three pounds and a quarter
What is the cause of this? The want
of atmospheric pressure on it, and the
suns attraction, which becomes more
apparent the nearer we approach his
orbit"

An Ancient People.

There is remnant of race of lndi-
ans in New Mexico, who are entirely diff
ferent from any other tribe on the Com
tinent, and are supposed to be descended
from the ancient Toltecs, who preceded
the Aztecs. They are small, have pc
culiar conformation of skull and face, are
of peaceful habits, and live by aSricul-
ture. They weave cloth, build with tools
made of stone, and build towns of stone
and mortar with walls. They have now
seven small towns; but the ruins of their
ancient cities show that they were once
inhabited by millions.

Bloody Tragedy at GRANVILLE, III.

At the edge of town, near the Eagle
Mills, on the goth ult., Mr.. Isaac Will
liams and his son Daniel j., residents
of Indiana, assaulted Mr. James Hahee of
GRANVILLE within few yards of his house,
and knocked him down once or twice
with maui. Mr. Hahee, as he arose
from the ground, made stroke at the
elder Williams with an ak which he had
in his hands, completely severing his
right arm from his body. The son in
the mean time, using his club. on Hahee,
the latter turned and cut him nearly in
two, striking him on each side. The
father walked but few yards, when he
fell and bled to death in a short time
The son was removed to the residence
of his brother, half mile below the
scene of the horrible occurrence, where
he died the same night The Indepen-
dent, from which paper we gather these
particulars, states that an old grudge
existing between the parties brought
about the deplorable result recorded
above. A verdict of justiGable homi-
eide was rendered by the jury at the in
quest.

Twelve years had passed. The hazel
eyed girl had grown into a tall, grace
full woman. One bright June afternoon
she walked with her husband through
the garden, for she was on visit to her
parents. The place was very little
changed, and the tulips had opened
their lips Of crimson and gold to the
sunshine, just as they had twelve years
before. Suddenly they observed a
young man in workmans blue overalls,
leaning over the fence, his eyes wander
ing from the flowers to herself. He had
frank, pleasant countenance, and there
was something in his manner that inter-
ested the gentleman and lady.
"Look here, Edward" she "said, I'll
pluck some of the flowers. 1t always
does me good to see the people admiring
them, " and then releasing her husband s
arm, she approached the pailing, saying
and the smile around her lips was
very like the child one-"are you fond
of flowers, sir? 1t will give me great
pleasure to gather you some.''
"Twelve years ago this very month
he said, in deep tones, tremuious with
feeling, 81 stood leaning on this railing
ragged little beggar boy, and you asked
me the same question. Twelve years
ago you placed the bright flowers in my
hand and they made me new boy
aye, they made man of me, too. You
face has been light, Ma'am, all alons
the dark hours of my life, and this da,
the little beggar boy can stand on tn
old place and say, though he's humbl
and hard working man, yet, than
God, he's an honest one.

dew on the shining lashes of the lids, a
