a home In st. Louis. Here he became
enameled" of young girl-a sweet and
beautiful being who would not lend her
affections to Mr. Lent, because they were
lent to another man. Thereupon George
placed keg of blasting powder in wash
tub under the house wherein resided the
aforesaid girl, attached slow match to
the concern, and I" lit out"
But the match did not kindle the powder
any more than did George the heart Of the
girl. < The powder emulated the example
OF the girl, and refused to 60 off, so he fail
ed to blow her up, and powder her in this
unchrlstian manner, although, if married,
she might have blown him up, providing
her tongue had been lent to such amnse.

rs gone 't"r goo'tand ALL" Before
daylight tho ioII"wing morning
the lady was surprised by tho
calls Of her nurse, Il small negro
girl. On being admitted to her
mistress, the girl, who had not
heard Of The ring being lost, said
she had just had Il drcum, il, which
sho WAS appraised when. where and
how ho jewel had been lost, and
that if allowed she felt snro sho
could find it. She then described
the place and manner in which
tho ring disappeared, and Begged
her mistress to 50 with hcr and
test tho dream. This strange
circumstance was made known to-
the household, But d1l treated it
with the utmost incrcdulity. 1t
was aiicrwarl concluded TO humor'

ring, and IT would roll ns n guido
to the missing one. A plain gold
ring WAS handed The girl; she let it
fall, and sure enough it rolled, and
stopped within two inches Of tho
