a Human Curiosity.

In Lincoln County, Tennessee.
the Nashville papers say, there is
well developed white child, ten
years old, which has a third arm
growing from its back, between the
shoulders. In the center of plate
of bone, permanently uniting the
shoulder blades, is the socket or
first joint, permitting the limb to be
moved freely in all directions. From
the socket extends large triangu-
lar bone-or three small bones com
bined-perfectly straight, and about
eight inches long, terminating in
short flexible wrist, upon which
closely fits the hand. This band is
somewhat in the shape and about
the size of an ordinary funnel, with
four finger like projections at equal
distances from the rim. The fin
gers have ciaw-like nails, joints, &c,
and possess the power of opening
and closing as in the ordinary hand,
their gripe, however, being much
more powerful. With this singular
member the child is able to lift con-
siderable weigh s.

A number of Germans, recently
hired to go into Woodford county
Kentucky, to work, have already
grown weary of their undertaken and
are on there way back to America

are treated too much like negroes.
The experience of hine-tenths of
those who have tried the South is
unpleasant, and their advice is
against going there. Those who
will not listen to advice, must "feel
it, before they appreciate it." Gen
eral Sheridan mentioned Texas in
connection with very net country
from which no ''traverler returns" p"

preferred the latter. The last mes

are reconstructed and re-admitted,
it will not be agreeable nor safe, and
only in exceptional cases profitable
for Northern men to locate there.
This applies more to emigration than
to colonization. If Northern men

a Horrible Death.

Tho Danville, Va, Times says:
On one of the eoldest days of
last week, Isaiah Atkins, an old and
gentleman, living about
three miles from Ruffin's Depot. N.
c., went out into the woods for the
purpose of cutting fuel, and the day
was so very cold that it seems he
built up fire in path to warm by
while he was at work. It IS sup
posed that in warming himself some
part of his clothing must have ta-
ken fire, and on going back into
the woods he must have communi-
Gated it to the leaves, thus kindling
the flames that made his own funer-
al pile. When found the woods
were on fire around him, the hair
all burnt off his head, and his body
was burned to crisp, while every
vestige of his clothing was burnt
into ashes, saving his shoes end q
portion of his socks. Mr.. Atkins
was near eighty years of age.

been carried daily in his chair fro N
his residence, distance of one
square, to the Capitol, and though
physically failing, he retains the
same vigorous mind, the keen and
perceptive intellect, which charac-
terized his younger days. Fully
aware that he is hanging on the
verge Of the grave, he evinces no
desire to make any change or prep

sure to respond in a jocular manner,
or in that bitter, acrimonious style,
so full Of that bitter sarcasm for
which he is noted.
The correspondent says that in

of the letter of the Chief Justice to

Don't Leave the Farm.

Come, boys I have something to tell you,
Come near, would whisper it low
You are thinking OF leaving the homestead
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions,
But think Of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex OF fashion,
Z How soon the course. dow inward begins.
You talk of the mir es of Australia,
They're wealthy in gold, without doubt,
But ahl there is gold on the farm boys,
If only YOU. II shovel it out.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be in hurry to go!
The great busy West has inducements,
And SO has the busiest mart
But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Dent be in a hurry to startl
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take iD their thousands or SO,
All think of the frauds and deceptions,
Don't be in hurry to goI
The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You're free as the air of the mountains,
And monarch of all you survey.
Better stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come in rather slow,
Remember, you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in hurry to go!

WASHED ASHORE.
BYE. NJ. SPENCER.

There's a bend in the river,
Near where the rosy sunsets Law,
A beach of shells end pebbles white,
- Whence the ripples die away;
And early one June morning,
While the mists were hanging DER,
The body of an unknown man,
That morning washed ashore.
The summer " as in its glory. %
Full ieafed were all the trees,
The odors of the forest flowers,
We're borne upon the breeze;
The birds came from the branches,
which all their greenness wore,
rs That body washed ashore.
The sun came up in splendor
And clad the trees W 18th silver light,
And stole into the glen;
Made bright the breadth of waters,
Where all was dark before,
While the waves went fapping 1azily
'Gainst The body washed on shore.
At noon some neighbors came that way,
And gazed with awe and dread,
And up the hill and down the vale,
The story soon was spread;
And from their homes they wandering came
In number full a score,
To see upon that pebbled beach,
The body washed ashore.
A grave upon the plain.
Which the SHOWS win drift in winter,
And the summer drench with rain:
A kind hand hewed tombstone
Which this inscription bore, iii
In memory of the dead man,
An Unknown, washed ashore"
There's nook in the roadside,
. And a cottage meath the trees,
And tender flowers and trailing plants
Cast perfume on the breeze:
And an anxious wife and baby child,
Await the hour when,
Ihe husband and the father
Will come to them again,
He went away one morning,
just at the dawn of day;
His journey by the river,
He'd rot be long away.
He kissed then at the partinR.>
Bade them goodbye, and then
Assured them that a fortnight
Would find him home aSain.
And many an hour in waiting,
And many a week of fear;
And many month of doubling,
And many scalding tear.
Thus weeks and months have flown away
How long the time has been,
They've listened for the footstep
They'll never hear again!
There's drear and lonely cottage.
home " here all is gloom,
And far off, by the river side,
sad, neglected tomb.
Within the one the mother waits
For cne shell meet no more;
Within the grave the father rests,
