STRANGE SCENE IN a House OF

cured, and the colored corpse, after he
ing washed, shaved and dressed in bu-
rial clothes, was laid out in the coffin.
While his bercayed WAS wringing her
tears out of bandanna handkerchief,
and numerous friends, "Dutu with
grief" were sitting around the dead
body, talking about what a good man
he was, Mr.. Redman suddenly raised
himself bolt upright in his coffin, with
the majesty Of death in his cold face.
Moving his not entirely s!ghtieas orbs
around upon the company of mournere
his clay lips began TO chatter some I'M

was to upset the whole assemblage with

The PHILOSOPHY OF IOye.

The sentimental editor of the Tolum-
&C Courier, relates his melancholy ex-
perience with q swamp angel:
A man loves n girl---bc she lovely or
hideous as u craw fish, without inteIli-
gence enough to set rat trap--simply
because he can't help it. He can no
more control his feelings in that respect
than hen can roost on sunbeam .--
We know it--we'vc been there. We
were smitten with n qucenly creature
once, and have since striven to foster u
big disgust for her; but it is like preach
ing the gospel 70 "A ssilor-futiic.
.-s "oft swore to love her never,
Yet love her more than ever"
Such girl she was too---none of your
short, dumpy, yellowish kind, foot
and q half between the eyes, aud built
like scuttle but-.pary. Her form was
the incarnation of symmetry, and every
movement syiphlike and graceful--.but
nature didn't break the dies y she was
moulded in, as there were nine more in
the fnmily her complexion was that OF
the dazzling fairness, which all women
sigh fOr--like snowy white rose blush-
ing beside popy her eyes, of lieav-
enly enchanting cerulian, such as are
seen but once in a creation; into which
8 fellow coG!d gaze enrapturcd, and fan
cy he had discovered the only avenue
by which his soul might enter heaven
and then melt away to grease spot !;
but some times when he "got her vine-
gar up" or a bunion hurt her foot lit
tie, those pretty eyes of blue would snap
like patent gopher catcher, and fash
like n flint lock. And then her mouth
--oh ! the mouth of her um-m-m the
sweetest, piumpest pair of ravishing ru-
by lips that ever mortal slipped loves
nectar from, to which our own have
clung in helplessness Of eXtacy, while
all the angels seemed eonspiring to
stupify US with bliss! But we were not
/" struck after" her because she was of
such queenly figure and SO personally
IL was her internal stub
bofness that corIaled our sympathy.--
She was possessed OF u wonderfully de-
velOped spirit Of contrrriety--contrary

Weight Of PeODle.

The average returns show that citi-
zen OF the world, Oh the first day of his
appearance in public, weighs about SIX
pounds and a half; boy baby II little
more, IL girl baby little less. Some
very modest babies hardly turn the
scale with two pounds and hnlf, while
other pretentious youngsters boast OF
ten aud eleven pounds. When ,Shytock
asked ior his pound of flesh, I" he ask
cd for an equivalent to Q little less than
oue-sixth of baby. How the tiny
ones grow during childhood we need
not trace here; but ii may be interest
ing to know that boys and girls of
twelve years Of age are nearly equal in
weight, after which limit, males are
heavier than females Of the same age.
Young men of twenty average q hund-
red and forty-three pounds each, while
young women of twenty average u
hundred and twenty pounds. Men
reach their heaviest bulk at about thir-
ty-five, when their average weight is
about 81 hundred and fiftytwo pounds !;
but women slowly tatten until fifty,
when their average is n hundred and

A MiSslxs,ppi LOynlist's Speech.


One sturdy loyal man in the slississ-

County of Jones did, in their sovereign
capacity, did secedc, and did become

LIFT and foRcE PuMr.
From the Scientific American, May 2, 1866
The Ohio Pump.
Herewith we illustrs tc pump OF novel con-
struction and design. The inventor styles it "The
| Ohio Pump"
The principal features of this invention are here
| with explained. The pump a, Is immersed in the
well, AMI secured there bv bolts to tie timber h.
On the up stroke the water rises into the chamber
through the valve &. aud the contents of the
cylinder above compelled to escape through the
channel, ii, into the hollow rod, in the manner
! shown by the arrows. As the piston returns, the
valve In the bottom Of 1t seats ITSELF and closes the
aperture, J the valve G, closing, and the valve
| q, opening, water from the well enters by the
channel way, X. while the water in the bottom Of
the piston escapes up the rod through the pipe to
| the vessel placed there to receive t.
The patent for this invention was procured on
March 3, 1863. by Andrew J. Reynolds, of DAYTON,
| Ohio; persona desiring further information can
| address him at that place.
These pumps are desirable in many places, ms
they will force water to considerable distance.
The position Of the apparatus beneath the surface
OF the well renders 1t impossible that 1t should
freeze except under extraordinary circumstances
and all the working parts seem to he put togcthor
in substantial manner. There are no pipes to
burst in winter, and as the pump is always tul of
water, it Is unnecessary to work the breaks hall
an hour before producing any results.
TIE DNANTAGES OF THE ONO PUMPS ARE:
First-lts cheapness and durability. Second
Its certainty of action at all times, the Pump
working entirely UNDER WATER preserves It
from rilsting and requires no packing Or printing.
1hird-Ihc most important point to which We
wish to call attention, is the fact that No WATER
CAN STAND IL THE FIFE, When the pump is not in
motion, to become stale in summer and heeze in
winter, thus making perfect protection against
frost Fourth--lIy attaching hose il is great
protection against fire, and very useful in watering

Nearly all diseases originate with

This impure bile passes into

And produces had taste in the mouth. The
