the field; So to make the matter sure to my
self and evident to Others, / drew from her hand
a ring which she had often declared she would
only give to her betrothedloyer and transferred
it to my own fingers.
alt was my mothers engagement ring
said she, half in earnest, and half playfully,
and there is a superstition connected with it.
So long as you keep and wear it, we are en-
gagged but if you lose it or part with it in any
way, the engagement is broken. SO take good
care"
"Some weeks after, she went away on
visit, and then my great consolation was to
haunt that favorite spot on the bridge which
had been our trysting place. Once leaning
over the railing, and thinking of our betrothal,
took from my finger the treasured ring, and
gazed fondly on the initials-her's as well as
her mothers-engraven within. In attempt
ing to replace it the golden circle fell from my
grasp and disappeared in the waters below.
"Only lover under such circumstances can
imagine how felt. Day and night mourned
disconsolate, my lost treasure, and my great
dread was her returning and finding the ring
missing. Yet strange TO say, had singular
presentiment or intuition that should recover
it, though by what means had no idea.
"Not long after, fishing in the same stream
some distance below the bridge, fell to think
ing of my lost ring. If could fish itup-and
Just ther there was quiver, tug, pull, and
a struggle at my line, and after some play |
drew out large, fine trout. At the sight Of

flashed into my mind that the ring-my lost
ring-was to be found in his body. cannot

heightened into almost a conviction when, up

with trembling hand, ! ripped open his body
and explained the suspicious protuborance.--
Ny knife grated against something hard, and
yes, caught the glitter of some shining
substance. Imagine my feelings when, with
a beating heart and trembling hand, drew
forth"
"The ring, uncle ?" breathlcssly inquired
Nellie.
"No, my dear. Only piece Of green glass!'
The general CONSERVATION and indignation
may be imagined.

A Strange Story.

Strange stories have been from time to time
related of Jewels, rings and even watches, found
in fishes when bought and opened, and subse-
quently returned to their owners. Whether
or not these stories are true, we Of course can
not say, but we vouch for the entire truth OF
the following, related by clergyman, himself
the hero of the story, to wondering circle OF
listeners. Though expectant Of something
strange as finale, they were by no means pre-
pared for the dsnousment:
at was one summer twilight said ne,

Tom threw a glance over his shoulder as he
spoke, and observed the dying patient ceased
her groaning and began to rouse herself. An
sing quickly to sitting posture in the bed to
note every word of conversation, she stared at
them with eyes as big as small onions boiled.
"Twill be relief to her, continuedlTom for
she has always been an invalid. I too have
suffered as well as she but with you, the picture
of health, as my wife. happiness will be COM
plete."
The widow threw herself upon Toms shoul-
der, her arms about his neck, and began to
chew bis vest in mouthfuls to smother her
laughter.
Glow soon shall we get married after she
is dead" asked Tom, passing his arm around
the widows substantial waist.
"I suppose you will be willing to wait a
week or two?" simpered Mrs Hake, as she
leaned her head on his shoulder aad took anoth-
er mouth full Of vest.
The invalid uttered an exclamation and land
cd on the floor.
"You think that am going to die do you p
she exclaimed. "Tll live to spite you both
And for you"-she turned and grasped Mrs.
Hake by the hair" out Of my house you de-
signing vixen! I'll act as my own nurse here
after"
From that day to this Mrs. G.. has enjoyed
good health, and Tomhas enjoyed good spirits /;
because he has not had single doctors bill to
pay. He knew how to cure her; for she only
needed rousiug and Tom reused her.

Conquered at Last.

A soldier, whose regiment lay in garrison
town in England, was about to be brought be-
fore his commanding officer for some offence.
He was an old offender, and had been often
punished.
Here he is again" said the officer, on his
name being mentioned !" everything--hogging,
disgrace, mprisonment-has been tried with
him."
Whereupon the sergeant stepped forward,
and apologizing for liberty he took, said:
There is one thing that has never been
done with him yet, SIR
"What is that?"
He has never been forgiven, SIR
Forgiven p exclaimed the Colonel, sur
prised at the suggestion.
lie reflected for moment, ordered the cul-
prt to be brought in, and asked him what no
had to say to the charge.
Nothing, SIR was the reply, only am
sorry for what have done,"
Turning kind and plying look on the man,
who expected nothing else than that his pun
ishment would be increased with the repetition
of his offences, the Colonel addressed him say
ing:
"Well, we have decided 10 fsgiye you"
The soldier was struck dumb with astoDish-
ment; the tears came to bis eyes, and he wept
like child. He was humbled to the dust he
thanked his officer and retired-to the old re-
fractory, incorrigble man2 No; he was an
other man from that day forward. In him
kindness bent one whom harshness could not
break he was conquered by mercy, and for
given, ever afterwards feared TO offend.

a wild woman has been seen in the woods
near Liberty, Texas. A man on horseback got
sight ofthe strange creature, persued and over
took her when she halted, he found her to be
a medium-sized, middle-sged, well-forned wo-
man, with long, dark hair, and clear blue eyes.
She was in a state Of nudity, save girdle Of
moss around her loins. Her body and limbs
were covered with coat Of hair about four
inches in length She was much frightened,
and seemed unable TO talk. The SOLITARY
horsernan attempted to drive her towards the
settlement, when she became enraged, seized a
club, turned upon him with the fury Of de-
mon, and it was only by the speed impaired 10
his steed by liberal use Of the spurs that he
kept out Of her way. Other parties had pre-
viously reported seeing this homemade gorilla,
and an organized effort to capture her is to be
made.

Hereafter.

Not from the flowers Of earth,
Not from the stars,
Not from the voicing sea,
May we
The secret wrest which bars
Our knowledge here
OF all we hope and all that we may fear
Hereafter.
We watch beside our graves,
Yet meet no sign
OF where our dear ones dwell.
All well,
Even now your dead and mine
May long to speak
OF raptures il were wiser we should seek
Hereafter.
Oh. hearts we fondly love!
Oh, pallid lips
That bore our farewell kiss
From this
To Wonder worlds eclipse
Do We, safe home,
Smile at your earthly doubts OF what would com
Hereafter?
Grand birthright of the soul,
Naught may despoil
Oh, precious, healing balm,
To calm
Our lives in pain and toll!
Gods boon, that we
Or soon or late shall know what IS to be
Hereafter
