bosoms, and that the great gulf of twenty
three years that had divided their lives
was bridged by a process whose -apidity
and simplicity Roebling of lads, or any
other civil engineer, could not parallel.
In fine, at the first meeting they renewed
their twenty three years old troth>plight.
The next day they went to D. to
see bis relatives; the next day, he or
rather she, for he had no property, bought
a farm the next day they returned TO
Nj; the next day they were remar-
ried very quietly; and the next they de-
parted for the farm in D., where
they propose to pass the autumn Of their
lives in the calm happiness that attends,
or ought attend, ''two souls with but q
single thought-two hearts that beat as
one" The foregoing remarkable story is
true in every particular, and 1 am ac-
quainted with one of the returned couple.

LoCUsT Music. The musical organs of
the locust, by which they keep up the oe~
culiar and universal din, from sunrise to
sunset, are described by scientific writer,
and the fact stated that it is only the male
which ha~ the organs of sound. We quote
as follows:
"The musical organs are also very curi-
ous, and difficult to describe Directly
under the shoulder of the wing on each
side of the chest there is a beautiful mem
brane, somewhat triangular, convex, and
ribbed with fine bony ridges. This mem
brane resembles a small shell, and is
stretched over cavity in the chest, the
lower angle connected internally with a
strong muscle. On the breast there are
two large scales, one on each side, firmly
attached to the breast above, but free be-
low. On bending the body backwards
these scales are elevated and expose two
large cavities, also covered with extremely
fine and silk like membranes These
cavities arc connected with those under
the musical membranes under the wing
shoulders, and probably serve for lungs.
When these cavities are filled with air,
the musical organs or membranes first
described are made to produce the sound
by the large muscles the bony ridges of
the membranes being made to act upon
each other with such rapidity that the mo-
ton is scarcely perceptible.'

criticism upon the originator and executor

A "REMINISCENCES OF INDIAN SUPERsTI>
T1oN.-In his sermon last Sunday, in the
Methodist church in this village, the VEN
cradle divine, Rev. Mr. Parker, of Ro-
chester, who is now about seyenty>five
years of age, related an incident that will
be of interest to the majority of our read
ers. Sixty-one years ago last February,
a certain person started from Leicester to
cross the Gennesee Flats, bound for the
western shore of the Genessee river
When about half way across the fats, in
the early evening, he was startled by hear
ing a strange noise N the heavens above
him, which sounded TO him like the
screaming and wailing of person far up
in the clouds. He returned to his home
and related the circumstances to his neigh
bors, who went with him to the place the
next evening, and then and there were
witnesses to the same noise. People came
from distance TO hear the strange noise,
and for weeks large crowd was at tha
place every evening, at times to the num-
Der of two thousand. The native Indians
that were then dwelling on Squakie Hill
held q council and came to the conclusion
that it was The spirit Of one of their fathers
who died short time previous, and had
lost his way while on its journey to the
''happy hunting grounds" and in It's dis
tress was calling for help. To assist this
departed father on his journey, and open
a way for him, one hundred warriors were
selected and armed with rifles as heavily
loaded as they could bear. These war
riors were placed as nearly under the noise
as possible, and at given signal from one
of their number, they fired simultaneously
into the air. From that time and forever
after, the noise was heard no more. Mr..
John Scott. Of Leicester, and Dir. Scott,
of Scotsburg, aged men, were acquainted
with the facts at the time, and corrobora>
ted the version given above.-GeneSsee

ACooL CUsToMER. at Columbus,
in Ohio, lives little weazen, dried-up
shabby-looking politician, named Joe G..
He is the most insignificant
looking specimen of humanity one would
meet in a month, but smart as steel
trap, any one who takes him for fool
will find himself sadly deceived. He is
notorious for furnishing the finest specimen
of cool impudence of any man in Ohio.
The following anecdote, illustrative of thi.
trait of his character, is told of him:
Some years ago, being in Philadelphia,
he received an introduction to a prominent
divine of that city. The reverend gentle
man invited Joe to attend his church on
certain Sunday, which invitation was
accepted. They entered the sacred edifice
together. 1t was one of the first churches
of the city, and its members were fashion
able and aristocratic in the extreme. The
minister put Joe into an elaborately- fur
nished pew well to the front Joe nestled
comfortably down into one corner of the
same and looked about as interested and
contented as a toad under a cabbage leaf
After while the owner of the pew ar
rived, and at once gave signs of intense
disgust and Indignation at the presence of
the interloper. He looked at the pew,
scowled magnificently, and finally after
fumbling through his pocket for some time.
drew forth card and wrote on it with a
pencil: f'This is my seat, sir!" and with
an air of the loftiest contempt, tossed it
over to Joe.
The latter took il up and read it with a
lamb-like meekness peculiar to hims elf,
and then with the most delightful GOODNESS
wrote in reply: dts a devilish good seat!
What rent do you payr' and tossed the
| card back to its owner. The latter looked
at it with the most profound astonishment
minute or two, and broad grin over
spread his face. He evidently enjoyed the
sublime brass and GOODNESS of his new ac-
quaintance, and when service was over he
approached Joe, apologized for his rude
| ness, invited, him TO his house, gave him
the best he had, and treated him with the
utmost respect and consideration during
his sojourn in the city.

''These rooms are our own" said
they, "and we do not recognize your
right to say that we must give them up.
The old gentleman got quite angry and
declared that if he did not have his own
way he would raise the devil-wiuding
up with his favorite remark:
''Let US have peace ~
80 the rooms were given up and things
went on quietly once more, until Uncle
Samuel Sampson and the sons who sided
with him got it into their heads that it
would be better for them if all the affairs
of the other sons were managed by the
colored people.
They then went to the ten and told
them they must give up everything to
the colored people but the ten objected
They said they had already done much
more than should have been asked of
them, and they would not give up every>
thing to their late servants.
''But you must we will make you"
said Uncle Samuel Sampson.
Whereupon he and his abettors went
to work and put the colored people in
possession Of everything by main force,
and when the ten others complained of
the injustice of it, Uncle Samuel Samp-
son said:
''Let US have peace -
And there was peace, for there wa,
nothing more to quarrel about.
Uncle Samuel Sampson is much pleased
with the result of his efforts to maintain
peace in his family, but 1 understand
that the ten sons who were forced to sub
NIT to everything he demanded intend to
test their rights in a court, and possibly
they may yet turn the tables on the old
gentleman. MR. BoFFIN.

RECOLLECTION OF FACES 1t is known

collection of faces. A curious incident
Of this wonderful power is told of his
visit to jackson, Miss, in the year 19-.

for few moments, when an eccentric but
strong g-mired man made his way up to

Mr.. Clay.

'Then turn the sound side of your
face to me, that 1 may get your profile. %
Mr.. Clay paused for moment, his
thoughts running back many years. ''I
have it!" said he. ''Did you not give
me a verdict as juror, at Frankfort,
Kentucky, in the great case of the U. S.

man.

said to his friends, ''that he knew me,

AN EcyprtAN HER,ur-A letter r.,

AN EGYPTIAN HERAnr.-A letter from
Egypt to. the Citizen. describing voyage
up the Nile, contains this item: The
next day we went ashore to see hermit
on the bank, who has sat there, perfectly
nude, for fifty years. He never washes
or smokes, or leaves his position. Let
them believe it who will, but his limbs
were altogether too supple to confirm the
Arabs story. Of course, he is old, and
fat and dirty. His thick, gray hair was
matted and sun burnt. He sat curled up
like bear, near a smouldering fire, with
a little kitten by his side, receiving the
admiring homage of our poor ignorant
boatmen, who consider him a very holy
man. They say he has power by simply
lifting his hand to prevent boats from pass
ing up or down the river until passengers
have come On shore to pay him reverence.
Crocodiles go up and play with him, and
the Nile knows him and never overflows
him. But the truth must be told that
ho was clever enough to choose for HIM
self seat on high bank quite above
its foundations.

An ASTOUNDING AND CoNFoUNpISa
DISCOVERY. We have an enchanted land
in Alaska. Here is what Russian guide
told Californian who asked about a
range of mountains near Sitka: "They
are mighty in size and cause much cold.
Wonderful things are told of them. It is
that IN some places there are deep pools
and lakes in which dwell monsters-ser>
pents as long as fir tree, which, when
they are in the open sea, would commit
mighty damage. One thing which ths
Indians tell US for certain-that yonder,
far away TO the north, in the heart of these
hills, there is a wonderful valley, so mar.
row that only at midday is the face of the
sun to be seen. That valley lay uudisl
covered and unknown for thousands of
years no persons dreamed of its exists
ence but at last, long time ago, two
Indian hunters entered it by chance, and
then what do you think they found
They found small tribe Of unknown
people, speaking an unknown tongue, who
had lived there since the creation of the
world, and without knowing that other
beings existed.
