A Serpent in a W0man's Stomach.

In the village of Lancaster, Erie
county, Pa, there is case that is of
peculiar interest, not only to medical
men, but to the general reader. There
resides there n Mrs. d., a German wo-
man, who formerly enjoyed good
health, but who has latterly been af-
flicted with singular and terrible symp-
toms. Her complaint manifests itself
III the form of paroxysms, which COM
mence in her inability to swallow food,
and which, after a day or two, are sue
ceeded by severe commissions, during
which she appears as if being choked,
her breath being at the same time sus-
pended, and her countenance assum-
ing livid color rs in ordinary stran-
gulations. Six years ago the patient
was of good ordinary figure and
healthy appearance; now she is bloat-
ed and shapless in form, her skin is of
tallowhke, cadayerous hue, and her
countenance wears a sunken, pinched,
and anxious expression. These NOR
bid symptoms have for the past few
months rapidly increased, each attack
growing more violent and distressing,
and threatening to terminate the wo-
mans miserable existence. She be-
ieves there is a snake in her stomach,
and that her terrible malady is entire
ly owing TO the presence and growth
of the reptile there. The movements
of this creature during the periods of
disturbance and when it is deprived of
food, Of her theory be the true one,
are plainly discrenible, even through
the patients clothing, and are often so
violent and prolonged as to produce
discoloration of the skin over the re-
gion of the stomach, as if from blows.
1t is also the opinion of her physician
that living creature of some sort,
most probably snake, has taken up
his residence in the stomache of his
patient lie had some experience in
that direction. He served two years
in the army, in the late war, as sur
geon IN New York regiment, and
while stationed in Southern State, he,
with another army surgeon, was called
by resident physician to assist in re-
lieying. man Of a snake that had got

Mays proud hcad dropped lightly
on her lovers shoulder. Never in all
her city life of triumph and excitement
had she been SO happy as now. All
strife and turmoil were forever at an
end; a long and happy career of useful
ness lay spread out before them

PART SECOND.

Picnics, boating parties, and excur-
sions after berries, fruit and flowers,
now became the order of the day, for
it was necessary to welcome the re-
turned Californian to his native village
with every demonstration of Joy. In
all these festivities Miss May, as a
matter of course, bore very active
part. But those who knew her best
noticed that at this time, great
change became manifest, not only in
her manner, but in her appearance.
She laughed less often, and far less
heartily; the sparkle i'll her eyes was
not quite so bright, nor was she so
frequently the leader and instigator
of every frohc she had once been.
Lucy, it may be, missed her gay, light
hearted companion more. than any one
else could do, and often complained
that since Eugene's return, her cousin
had become almost unbearable. 1t
was SO odd, too, she often remarked,
that Eugene and her cousin should
seem SO thoroughly to dislike each
other. Do all she could, she was I'M
able to draw them together. The
two best friends she had in all the
world seemed forever separated from
each other by wall Of pride and
GOODNESS, and with some dismay she
looked forward to the time when they
should both become inmates of hen
married home. How dreadful il
would be, and all how dull and lone
ly that home would seem if Ma,
should never come. Then Luc,

Fashion.

Any fashion is cruel which compels
vast expense. Any fashion is cruel
which encourages extravaganza. Any
fashion is cruel which debases society,
and everything which gives money the
reward of merit is degrading. The
wife of Prince Metternich, the Aus
trim ambassador in Paris, now die
tates the fashion. The Empress is
obsolete If t'anbdssaarice should wear
cowhide boots, they would be de riguer
in the choicest circles. If she should
drape her pretty person in cloth of
gold and throw hoops out of the win
dow, the streets of all the great cities
of the world would become impossible,
and the drawing-rooms everywhere
would glitter with splendor. What
power this lady has, For If she wore a
plain straw hat and plain dress, sim
plicity and economy would be the fash
ion. But, after all, what is her right
divine? If she chooses to wear net
of old Venetian sequins on her head,
why should the sylphs of Saratoga
take TO matching themselves with gold
dollars? If she chooses to draggle
satin train along gravel walk, why
should the danes Of Newport wipe
the sea-beach with silk Why does
not each dainty American dame show
her equality with Z -Aatrichieane by
following her own sweet will andregu-
lating it by the eternal fitness OF
things To be fashionable is not
necessarily to be womanly and lady
like. What if those who can effect 1t
should resolve that only what is wo-
manly and ladylike shall be fashiona-

a very roundabout way, and the young
merchant, only too glad of any excuse
to visit the home where Lucy dwelt,
had brought her safely back. Leaving
