thought him dead. Having OBJ.
tanned leave to examine',the body,
he had scarcely opened the chest
when he perceived the heart pal
pitated. The relatives Of the
deceased prosecuted him as guilty
OF murder-the Inquisitor as guilty
of profaneness. Through theinter-
cession Of the King he was sent
on a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land and thus escaped death.
In the sitting of the Royal
Academy Of Medicine in France,
1897, a paper was read by Mr..
Chauncey Chantournelle ON the
danger of hasty inhumations.-
This led to a discussion, in which
Mr.. Desgenelle said that be had
heard from Mr.. Thourot, who had
superintended the human remains
of the cemetery and the charnel-
house Des Innocens, that many
were found in positions
showing that the individuals had
moved in their cofins. Mr.
Thourot was so much struck
with the revelation that he caused
a clause to be inserted in his will
respecting his own interment.
These facts are sufficient to i'm
press on our physicians the neces-
sity of caution in supplying GER
tiicates Of death without exam
nation. The doctor should have
more faith in his skill than to
presume the demise of his patient

Served Him Right.

A few days ago a Captain Har.
rison, the agent of the Freedmen's
Bureau at ScottSvilIe, Virginia,
called to Charlottesville by busi-
ness, was dining at one of the
hotels in that town. A young Ia
dy, one of the heroines of the war,
whose name we omit, having scru-
tinized the Captain for a moment,
arose from her seat deliberately
and approached him with the tread
of a woman who was not afraid
who knew her honest rights and
dared maintain them"
Said the lady, with stamp of
her beautiful foot, which subdued
the Yankee Captain at once:
"Is this Captain Harrison, of
the Yankee army?"
The Captain stammered out
that it was-"Yes.'
"Weli, sir, you have a watch
and chain on your person that
belongs to me. You took it from
me during the war by force, threats
and violence, Now l want it
back again"
With these bold remarks she
the same with a dex-
ferrous movement of her hands,
and the gold watch and chain,
valued at two hundred dollars,
were removed from the bosom of,
the Captain, and transferred to
the righful female owner.
The vanquished Captain bowed,
retired from the table and left
the hotel and the city of Char
Iottesviile.

! This is a simple song, It's true,
| And songs like these are never nice;
| And yet we'll try and scatter through
A pinch or two of good advice.
Then listen, pompous friend, and learn
Never to boast of much renown,
For Fortunes wheel is on the turn,
And some go up, and some come down,
We know vast amount of stocks
A vast amount of pride insures;
But Fate has picked SO many locks,
We wouldn't like to warrant yours
Remember then, and never spurn
The one whose hand is hard and brown,
For he is likely to go up,
And you are likely 10 come down.
Another thing you will agree,
(The truth may be as well confessed,)
The ''codfsh aristocracy'
Is but scaly thing at best
And though the fishes large and strong
May seek the little ones to drown,
Yet fishes all, both great and small,
Are going up, and coming down.
Our lives are full of chance and change,
And chance you know, is never sure;
And 'twere e doctrine new and strange.
That places high are most secure.
And though the tickle god may smile,
And WELD the sceptre and the crown,
'Tis only for little while
Then B. goes up and A. comes down.
The word for you and me, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and pence,
Then let me humbly recommend
a little use Of common-sense.
Thus lay all pride of place aside,
And have a care on whom you frown,
For fear you'll sec him going up
When you are only coming down.

A Young Girl Says Il
Won't" at the Altar.

A peculiar incident occurred q
short time since in the vicinity of
Hackney, England, worth record
ing, from the fact Of Its being one
of the rarest escapades in matrimc-
nial history. An aged gentleman,
of not very preposseSsing appear
ance, but, nevertheless, q perfect
CIosus, was leading his bride, a.
girl of sweet sixteen, to the hy-
menial altar, under the cireunl-
stances Of having purchased her
hand (but not her heart by assist
ing her father when in pecuniary
difficulties. Six finely dressed
bridesmaids and a host of friends
attended the couple to church
The bride was decked out in nup-
tial splendor, the roadway was
lined with carriages and grays, and
the whole scene presented an i'm
posing effect; the venerable gen
tleman led his bride up the aisle,
and the ceremony Of coupling
them began. All went quietly
enough til the clergyman came to
the sentence, "Will you take this
man for your husband?" When.
she in a loud and solemn manner
exclaimed, 81 won't. She rose in
an excited manner, darted out of
the church, jumped into a carriage.
awaiting her outside, in which
was seated the idol Of her choice;
off they went to another church,
not thousand miles away, were
there and then, and are
now living in happy wedlock--
The event created quite a sensa-
tion in the neighborhood.

A French Story.

In 1859 a gentleman was pass.
ing, late at night, over Point Neuf,
Paris, with lantern. A man
came up to binn and said: "Read
this paper" He held his lantern
and read as follows:
Speak not word when this you read.
Or in an instant youll be dead
Give up your money, watch and rings,
With other valuable things
Then quick. in silence youdepart,
Or with knilo viii cleaye your heart.
Not being 4 man of much pluck,
the alfrig ghted gentleman gave up
his watch and money and ran oft.
He soon gave the alarm, and the
higbwayman was arrested.
"What have you to say for
YOURSELF" inquired the magis-
trate before whom the robber. was
arraigned.
THAT l an not guilty Of rob-
berry, though l took the watch and
money"
"Wby not guilty?" asked the
magistrate.
Simply because | can neither
read nor write. / picked up that
paper just at the moment | met
this gentleman with a Lantern. -
thinking it might be something
valuable, l politely asked him TO
read it to me. He complied with
my request, and persistently
handed me his watch and purse
and ran. | supposed the paper
TO be OF great value to him, and
had thus literally rewarded me
for finding it. Iie gave me no
time to thank him, which act OF
politeness | was ready to perform"
The gentleman accepted the
plea OF the robber, aud withdrew
his complaint.

Gentle Hint.

Old Deacon Hopkins was {
worthy soul and very generally
respected for his outward show of
piety and religious zeal; and
have no doubt that he felt al
heart most of that which he pro
tessed. In a certain direction he
| was troubled with a morbid desire
to steal. His chief employment
was the making Of soap from ash
es which he gathered in the neigh,
borhood; and making his soap,
he was obliged to keep two or three
big kettles Of ley boiling, to which
end abundance of fuel was neces-
sary.
Now it SO happened that the
deacon's nearest neighbor was
Captain Jack Payson, whose call
ing kept him upon the salt water
the greater part of the time
Captain Jack was great hand at
keeping his family supplied with
well seasoned wood, as he owned
an extensive wood lot; he often
had vast pile oft cut and hauled
to his house and there worked up
and stacked. It furthermore
chanced that the rear door of the
good deacon's soap-house opened
directly upon the rear of Captain
Jacks huge wood pile The temp
tation was strong. Surely there
could be no harm in taking a few
scattering sticks; the captain
would never miss them. But the
disease grew with the necessity of
feeding the fires, and he fancied,
kind soul, that the captain would
never miss the distracted fuel
But he was destined to rather an
unlocked for and unpleasant en-
as we shall see.
The question was up before the
church, on introducing instru-
mental music into the choir. One
of the singers had a bass viol
which he was willing to play, if
brethren would permit; and both
he and the chorister declared that
it would help the singing wonder
fully. But this was before the
days when fiddles were tolerated |
in sacred places, and several Of
the brethren objected. Deacon
Hopkins was emphatic and bitter
IN opposition. At a very tuli
meeting of the church he ex-
pressed himself decidedly. Cap |
.ain Jack, who chanced to be on
shore, was present, and favored |
.he introduction of the viol.
"Bring it in,'' cried the deacon
'and III go OUT won't be seen
where that big fiddle is tolerated"
"Will you stick to your pledge,
leacon?" asked the captain.
Eyes, sir!" replied the irate
unctionary.
"Then," !" said Captain Jack,
With a curious twinkle of the eye,
you shan't be troubled with the
iddle in the church. I'll buy it
md hang it up on my wood pileP
The poor deacon shrank away
,ehind his enormous shirt collar,
While the friends of the ''big fd-
lie" carried their point.

A Touching Incident.

Some days after one of the Eng
liSh steamers had left Liverpool,
says the Boston Post, a bright
looking boy, about eight years old,
was found aboard, who had been
concealed in the vessel since she
left port (which, by the way, is a
common occurrence He was
questioned by the officers as to
how he came there. He stated
that he was an orphan, and had
an aunt living in Halifax, and that
his uncle in Liverpool being poor
and unable to support him, had
hid him, in the vessel just before
sailing SO that he might go to Hal
ifax and live with his aunt. 1t
seemed like the old story to the
officers of the vessel, and they
accusedshim of being helped by
the crew, and tried their utmost
by coaxing and threatening to
have him divulge that some of
the sailors had taken him aboard
and gave him food. But they
availed nothing-the little fellow
would tell no other story. At
last one of the officers, feeling
sure that the boy was deceivipg,
took him by the arm, and said,
81 am going to make you tell the
truth"-and taking him to what
is called the bridge says, "In one
half hour | shall hang you unless
you tell me which one of the
sailors has been feeding you. =
1t was of no use--the boy would
not lie; and when the officer told |
him sternly that he had only |
two minutes to live, the little fel-
low said, "Sir, may | pray?"-and |
Immediately sunk on his knees,
and lifted his little hands in all
Of prayer, slowly repeated |
the "Lord's Prayer" amid the up
turned faces Of the passengers
and crew of the vessel who had |
been anxiously watching the re-
suit of the officers experiment;
but on seeing the brave boy whose
love Of truth was stronger than
that of life, and hearing him SO
warmly repeat his prayer, it. was
too much for their doubts, and
caused a very affecting scene, and
the apparently rough officer burst
into tears and caught the little
fellow in his arms and hugged him
as though ii reality he had just
escaped death. After this event
the boy was young hero in the
ship. he was praised and treated
with dainties, each one anxious
to do.something for such a noble
boy; and when he arrived In Hal
fax he was taken by the same
officer who had doubted him, and
fitted with a nice suit of clothes
and carried to his aunt, with
hearty Gods blessing for his fu-
.ure career.
