A Singular Case.

In January, 1864, ,!Abraham DeBond,
of Washington county, Kentucky, was
shot in the forehead with a minnie
ball in q skirmish at Fair Garden, i'll
East Tennessee, and was taken from
the battlefield to the hospital. The
ball entered the forehead just above the
right eye, and, as there was an open
ing in the temple, just in front and
slightly above the right ear, it was sup
posed that the ball had passed entirely
through.
The man did not die, and he soon so
far recovered as to be sent home. The
wound did not heal up, and there had
been continual discharge from it ever
since its infiictiOn. Recently his suffer
ings have been so intense that he con-
suited a physician, who said that the
pain arose from the dead bone, and
that it would have to be removed be-
fore he could obtain relief. BeBOnd
went to Cincincinnati and placed him
self under the care of physicians, who
decided that it was necessary to per-
form the operation of trephining, and
a day or two since undertook the Ope-
ration. During the progress of this Op-
Grafton they detected the presence of
lead, and with the fOrceps extracted
minnie ball, flattened into the shape of
a chestnut, from the mans. skull. 1t
had entered the lateral sinus and frac-
tural table, and was resting upon the
brain. It is supposed that a fragment
of the ball had been Clipped off the
ball and passed out through the tenn
pie, leading to the belief that the ball
had passed entirely through the skull
The removal of the ball gave great aD
immediate relief, and DeBond is n
at st. Johns Infirmary, on Fourth
with every prospect of a speedy
perfect recovery.

may never be a titbe of the anguish OF
that horrible moment.
Strangely enough, in all the mystery
surrounding my mission, the truth had
never dawned upon my mind until
then.
The first boat had already reached
the shore, and the men stood in a
group gazing at the Inflated vessel,
which was now one mass of flames.
Just then the side of the bark burst out
near the mainmast, and I saw, in the
roaring fire, a confused moving mass
of human beings, writhing about in ag-
Ony, while their fearful shrek made
the scene so utterly beyond anything
the most terrible that could conceive
that I turued away and wept scaIding
tears of agony at the sight.
Suddenly there was a thunderous
crash, and, turning quickly around, I
saw the whole mass dashed into the
air, and bursting into fragments of
spars, beams, human bodies and limbs
in horrible confusion; and then, as the
shattered whole was plunged into the
sea again, all was dark, except where a
burning mast or other portion of the
wreck made the gloom more paIpabIe-
everything was silent as the grave,
save the kissing of the waters as they
closed over that merciless holocaust of
the slain.
The first sound I heard was tl8 voice
of the half-drunken captain who had
just joined us, as he Shouted O. tsThere
goes twenty-five thoussAd dollars, and
as good a ship as ever sailed; and
guess old Byles will have to whistle Tor
his insurance"
/ turned away with Hernandez, who
never spoke, and walked slowly up to
the shanty, whittier the rest followed
us.
There we learned that the Captain,
who had gone on board intoxicated,
had by some means set fire to the cab~
in, narrowly escaping himself The
fiame1had Spread so rapidly that it
was utterly impossible to save the poor
Wretches who were chained between |
decks, and the final arrival of the fire |
at the store of powder in the hold had |
caused the explosion.

An AstOnished Court.

A few days ago, says the New Or
leans PcGyILlle, an old lady and a
Young one found themselves in Court,
charged with disturbing the peace
The officers statement was clearly Civ
en-, and certainly disclosed an equal
cuipability in both. 1t was evident,
however, that the Court inclined a IA
vorable judgment to the youngest, and
the scales of justice were rapidly tip
ping in her favor.
"Why did you abuse this young Ia
dy?n the magistrate demanded of the
old one.
al had right to-" was the calm
t'What was she doing?"
"Keeping company with very i'm
proper character"
"And what is that to you ?'
"She's my daughter"
"Oh, indeed and you think the
person was an improper character?'
Il do, sir" -0 -
"Do you know who he was ?"
"I don't know his name. I'Ve seen
him frequently prowling around after
night"
And then, as if actuated by a sudden
impulse, the old lady adjusted her
spectacles, peered cautiously at the
Court from under her great sun-bOn-
net, and then exclaimed:
"Good lack good lack Why, you
are the man ~
"Me! me ~ exclaimed the astOnish-
ed Court. Me woman, did you say
me?"
Again the spectacles were adjusted,
and the curious gaze prolonged, while
the old lady nodded her head at inter-
walls.
"Yes, yes, it's the same ugly face
Pm sure of it but I'll forgive you this
time; I'll forgive you" And the old
lady hObbled away, leaving the Court
Die to interpose all objection to her de-
partuTe.

ENDYMIOE
BY HENRY W. LoNGFEL1ow.


BY HENRY W. LONGFELLOW.
The rising moon has hid the stars;
Her level rays, like golden bars,
Lie on the landscape green,
With shadows brown between.
And silver white the river CLEANS,
AS if Diana, in her dreams,
Had dropped her silver bow
Upon the meadows low.
On such tranquil night as this,
She woke EndymiOn with kiss.
When, sleeping in the grave,
He dreamed not OF her love.
Like Dian's kiss, unaSked, unsought,
Love gives itself, but is not bought;
Nor voice, nor sound betFayS
Its deep, impassiOned gaze.
It comes,-the beautiful, the free,
The crown OF all humanity
In silence and alone
To seek the elected one.
It lifts the boughs, whose shadows deep,
Are LIES, the souls sleep,
And kisses the closed eyes
OF him, who slumbering lies.
o, weary hearts! o, slumbering eyes!
D, dropping souls, whose deStfnieS
Are fraught with fear and pain,
Ye shall be loved again
No one is so accHFsed by fate,
No one so utterly desOfate,
But some heart, though unknown,
Responds unto his own.
Responds,-as If with unseen wings,
An angel touched its quivering strings;
And whispers, in its song,
g ''Where hast thou stayed so long? p

release their prisoner.

PROFESSOR MORTON.
BY CONSTANCE CARLETON.

CHAP. XII
The year rolled rapidly around. Sid
ney Morton saw his betrothed often,
and both were happy. The brides
trosseau looked none the worse that her
own fingers had helped to make it, and
many beautiful day dreams were stitched
in with the thread, as she sewed.
There was quiet wedding at the
farm house, but the young couple could
not have beep happier had they been
surrounded by all the pomp ofroyalty.
On their bridal tour they stayed for a
few days at one Of our western cities.
A new prin,a donna had appeared in the
operate world, the papers teemed with
her praise-they went one night to see
her. The play was "The Bohemian
Girl" The prima donna appeared in
the second act She had the part of
"Arline," the gypsy girl. When the
curtain arose she was discovered asleep
in tent. 1t was little while before
she appeared. Violet turned to say
something to her husband, when thun-
der of applause made her again look at
the stage. There before the footlights,
dressed in a picturesque costume, her
long black hair unbound and hanging
over ber shoulders, was India Lester.
"Sidney, it is India !" exclaimed vi
olet.
@The resemblance is striking, certain
ly, but surely it cannot be Miss Lester"
Turning to the man at her side, the
gipsy girl sang, 81 dreamed dwelt in
marble halls" Violet had olteH heard
India sing that song. The voice was
hers, though more cultivated.
'It is India Lester" she said emphat-
ically, and Sidney Morton looked
through his opera glass and agreed with
his wife. They occupied private box
near the stage, but she did not see them
until near the close of the last act. Then
she began in her rich voice: t
"Thrown thus across thy path
Let me abide"----
The sound died away in her throat,
herlips turned white, she staggered, aud
would have fallen had not the man who
played the part Of the Count, her father,
caught her. It was only by accident
that she had raised her eyes to the box
where they sat. She saw the two she
had vainly tried to separate, and she
knew that they we're married. Athous-

MethOught i saw the chosen three
Who walked so Oft with Christ below,
Who saw In sad Gethsemane
Those crimson drops OF woe;
That from their lips heard
The story of our risen Lord.
They talked to me Of Taijor's steep,
How tenderly he led them there;
When weary, faint, they sank TO sleep,
He knelt alone in prayer;
That while they slept strange visions came,
They thought the mountains all afame.
They walked, and saw, with wondering eyes,
What ne'er to other sight was gven
lie held communion with the skies,
Bathed in the light of heaven;
'HlS lace ShOne as the sun" and 10
His ralment glistened white as snow"
They told me of the two who came
On swiftcst wing, at heavens behest-
Elijah, who, on cloud of flame,
Ascended'tO his rest
And Moses, who on HOreb trod,
And "face to face cOmmuned with God.
They told me of their wondering fear,
When, pealing through the silent night,
Came sounds so strange TO moral ear
From yonder world of light:
When Gods own voice proclaimed his Son
His Well Beloved-the Glorious One.
And then they ceased. Obi stay, cried,
Oh llnger yet, We favored three,
anu tell ne more OF Elln VINO uleu
On that dear cross for me! ..
Tell me, what wOndrOus theme had they
Who came on such high embassy?
We knew they spake of His decease,
The woe, the pain of Calvary;
Yet on His brow the light of peace,
Still radiant, we could sec
That brow which sharpest thorns would bear
That man q crown Of life might wear!
They spake of love too great and high,
Too deep and vast for us to know
But, ah we knew that He must die,
And this was greatest woe:
We looked, and 10! the vision gone,
Our Jesus stood with us alone
And did ye still In Him behold
The sunshine of the Fathers love?
Was all that seemed of earthly mould
Still radiant from above?
And was 1t precious thus to be
Alone with such friend as He?
questioned, but no voice replied
Theanswer to my heart was given; .
My path of life was glOrified
BY this one glimpse of heaven
A light celestial round me shone,
While with Jesus stood alone.

!. A mau by the name of Bowers, liv-
ing 10 Madison Township, few miles
from the city, has among his ''pets'' 3
bear, which has for some weeks been
kept chained in the yard. On Thurs
day last, the bear broke loose and at
tackled a son of Mr.. Bowers, some five
or six years old. The child's cries at
tracted the attention of the mother who
rushed to Che rescue She tore the boy
away once, but was attacked in turns
and the bear again seized the child.
The father came up, and after a strug-
ole, forced his hand down the throat Of
the now thoroughly infuriated bear,
and threw the mangled child away from
him. The rescue came too late. Fhe
child was so injured that ltexpifed il in
a few minutes. The bear was secured
at last, but not until both the father
and mother Of tho child bore marks Of
serious injury. The neighbors are much
excited on the subject, and make O de-
mand that the bear shallbe killed. -
