Strange Death.

Last Saturday night most sim
gular event transpired in this
county. An old and well-known
gentleman by the name of Joel
Sullivan, who resided about five.
miles northwest of Bolivar, died
in the following manner: Mr..
Sullivan, who had attained the
age of eighty years, as usual did
a good days work on Saturday,
At night he went to his home, a
double log house, ate a hearty
meal, and seemingly, in the best
OF health, retired to rest. About
midnight he rose from his bed,
crossed TIE wide hall that separa-
ted the two rooms, woke up the
members of the family and told
them that he was dying, at the
same time shaking hands with
each of its inmates and bidding
them final farewell; he then
went back to the room from whence
he came, woke up his grandson.
shook hands with him and told
him also that he was dying; after
so doing he seated himself in a
chair, his features quickly under
went a change, his limbs relaxed,
while a thick film gathered over
his eyes. He was taken from
the chair, and placed upon the
bed near by, but alas, the spirit
of the old man forever fed from
its casket of clay. His only re-
mark, after bidding the family
farewell, was that he seemed to be
choking. What a mystery is life,
how strange is death !-BOliuar

A Knotty Text.

There was once an itinerant
preacher in West Tennessee, who,
possessing considerable natural elo-
quence, had gradually become
possessed with the idea that he
was also an extraordinary biblical
scholar. Under this delusion he
would very frequently, at the close
of his sermon, ask any of his con-
gregation, who might have a
"knotty text to unravel, to speak
it out, and he would explain it
at once, however it might have
troubled less distinguished divines.
On this occasion, in a large audi
ence he was particularly pressing
for some one to PROFOUND text,
but no one presuming to do SO, lie
was about to sit down without any
opportunity for showing his learn
ing, when a chap by the door an
nounced that he had Biblical
matter of "great consarn." The
preacher quite animatedly pro-
tessed his willingness and ability,
and the congregation was In great
excitement.
"What Lwant to know" said the
outsider, sis, whether Jobs turkey
was a hen or a gobbler
The expounder looked confused,
and the congregation Uttered, as
the questioner capped the climax
by exclaiming 81 fotch him down

ALearnedCat.

The Lewiston { Mo- Journal tells
a story to establish the fact that
cats are intelligent, as we'll as dogs:
The owner of one in a place
taught Tom to trade mice for meat
receiving from his master piece
of meat for every mouse he pre-
sented. One day a mouse was
brought and laid before the clerk,
who did not happen to understand
the arrangement. Tom determine
ed not to be baulked of the reward,
carried the captive up stairs and
laid it before his mistress, who, not
liking such a present, scolded him
for bringing it into the house, and
threw it out of the window.
The cat ran down stairs, went
out and found his mouse and kept
it until night, till his master came
home, when once more the mouse
was brought in and kitty claimed
his reward and received it.

CONTENT.

Standing midway in my life
Looking towards its closing,
Would I go back to youth again,
Had but the choosing?
Would l be a child again,
Wsding in tho meadows. E
Treading perfume ont of flowers
In the orchard shadows?
Watching, in the far-off blue,
Cloud-ships slowly sailing,
Carrying all my childish dreams,
Far beyond my hailing.-
Feeling how long the years creep
Towards the blissful Alden,
Where the husks of childhood can
No longer hide the maiden?
No-my feet go boldly on,
Onward flows the river,
Joys of childhood are but dreams,
Mildewed buds forever.
Life is best when roses bloom
June of life, sweet summer,
April tears and May-day smiles
Fade! shall not murmur.
Life is sweet, and June is young,
Come what years disclose:
I can bear thorn two,
Since have the rose.
