A SYmpathizing Woman.

If we were called upon to describe Mrs.
Dobbs, we should, without hesitation call her
a sympathiziug woman Nobody was troubled
with any malady she hadn't suffered
" She knew all about it by experience, and
could sympathize with them from the bottom
of her heart.
Dob Turner was wag, and when one day
he saw Mrs Dobbs coming along the road to-
wards his house, he knew, that 10 the absence
of lis wife, he should be called upon to enter
tain her so he resolved to play little on the
good wOman'S abundant store Of sympathy
Hastily procuring large blanket, be wrap
ped himself up in it, and threw himself on d
sofa.
Why, good gracious Mr.. Turner, are
you sick asked Mrs. Dobbs as she saw his
position.
} "Ob, dreadfully," groaued the imaginary
invalid
' What's the matter 2"
" On, a great many things In the first
place I've got the congestion Of the BRAIN"
" That's dreadful" sighed Mrs Dobbs "

plant"
" Then, again. I'm much distressed by inaa.

"If you've got that l pity you," comment

" Yes, that's pretty likely to 60 along with
neuralgia. 1t did with me-"
" Toothache," suggested Bob.
There have been times Mr. Turner, when
thought | should have gone distracted with
the tOothache, said the sympathzing woman.
"'Then," said Bob, who having temporarily
run out of medical terms am very much
afraid that I've got the tethysaurus"
." | shouldn't be at all surprised" !" said the
ever ready Mrs. Dobbs Il had it when
was young"
Though it was with great difficulty that he
could resist laughing, but Bob continued

&" But that isn't the worst of it."

Dobbs, but the fact is"-here Bob groaned-
" am afraid, and my doctor agrees with me,
that my reason is atfected-that, in short, I'm
little crazy"
Bob took breath and wondered what Mrs.
Dobbs would say to that.
"Oh, Mr. Turner, is it possible ?" exclaim-
ed the lady. Its horrible, | koow it is.

FoTED IT UPSIDE DowN-We have heard of
q good story, told by a son of Erns Isle,
which is worth repeating;
Some two years ago there was quite strug-
gle between two certain prominent Democrats
OF Wea7erviIie, as to which should go delegate
to the State Convention. The evening prior
to holding the County Convention, which was
to nominate State delegates TO attend said
County Convention, Judge NJ, and Squire
s., each had ballots printed with the names
Of their friends upon them. The Judges dele
gates were beaten, and before retiring couSoled
himself by loading his hat with bricks. Next
morning, in good season. acting upon the prin-
ciple that " a hair of the dog is good for the
bite" he went in pursuit of a =" hair" just as
be was calling for the decoction, Billy McBlar-
ney stepped into the saloon and Saluted the
Judge, when the following dialogue ensued
The top o. the moFuin' to ye Judge. And
the murtherin tbaves bate us last night entire.
ly-the curse o. the world light on EN- z"
Good morning, Billy. Yes, the Squire was
rather heavy But say, Billy l understand
you voted against me. How is it p
Billy McBlarney vote against ye The
lyin' spalpeens ! By me sowl, Judge, I'd
rather have me whiskey stopped for year,
than do that same thing"
What ticket did yon vote, Billy ~
" And sure, voted the ticket wild yer hon
or's name on the top ay it."
:" But Blly my name was the last on the
list, the bottom"
This was rather puzzler TO Billy he
scratched bis head for an instant, when sud-
denly looking up, he exclaimed
Bad luck and what fool am looted
that ticket npside doron -
The Judge immediately ordered On. eye,
opener for Billy he fairly beat bin on tha.

the men, soon being lost to their view as they
retreated to the pot where they had crossed

still smouldering ruins of his house and out
buildings, where he instituted a search for the
remains of his wife and son, but in vain. He
was quite 10 despair and was mourning them
as only father can mourn his loved ones when
form was seen approaching cautiously
thruugh the gloom. Who is there ?'' the
unknown soon demanded.
William Boyd"
The man uttered a cry OF surprise and de-
light, aud drew near making himself known
He was an old friend and neighbor, and had
taken care of Mr.. Boyd's dead, bearing their
! bodies to his own house, where they now
were. The avenser listened to these an
uouncementS, and soon became calm.
Il can never be man again" he said, " but
it is some satisfaction to know that they are
avenged" And be recouuted the tragedy Of
the night to his listeners great Joy
Come" said the neighbOr at last, " we
had better bury our dead tonight, for you
must be away from here before daylight"
Mr.. Boyd accompanied the kind hearted
and sympathizDg neighbor TO his house. We
need not dwell upon the lonely burial that fol-
lowed. The mother aud son, each the pride of
! the other, and of their bereaved relative, were
buried in one grave, rudely made by those two
stern faced men, beneath the dim light of the
waning moon. AT last the sad Offices were
/ finished, aud the two men turned away.

families than niue from suffering these mis-,

And | will join you, said his companion,
quickly. "There is no safety here. | will re.

The next day these resolves were carried
out the Virginia patriot joining Mr.. Boyd at
Captain Hart's camp and the two brave men
are now rendering importan, service iu the col
umn of General Mcclellan.
