FEVER AND AsuE VERSUS Dryoecr-

FEVER AND AGuE VERSUS DIvoRcE-A Gin
cinnatsaa Goes 30 Indiana for the One and Comes
Bock srtth the Othsr.-A few weeks ago one of our
citizens informed his astounded family one
morning that business required his presence at
the South, and he should probably be absent for
a year. VI course the announcement plunged
them in deep despair. The weeping wife hung
upon his neck and the sobbing children clung
TO his coat-tails, while the husband and father
mingled his tears with theirs. Atlength he tore
himself away, and departed upon his journey.
But instead of going TO the South he stopped At
New Albany, Indiana, where he took steps to
procure a divorce, younger and a fairer form
having usurped the place in his heart which his
faithful wife had 20 long held. But while he
tarried he was stricken with the fever and ague
in its most violent form, and while he lay upon
his lonely couch, alternately shaking with chills
and consumed with the burning fever, his
thoughts reverted 20 the wife he had left, W ho
had 30 often stood by him, when he lay upon q
bed Of languishing and pain in the days gone by.
And he thought how pleasant II would be IL she
were by TO draw the clothes more closely around
him when the s.shivers" came on, TO lay her
soft, coolhand upon HIS burning brow when the
fever was on. And az he thought, he saw how
base his conduct was in seeking divorce from
one who had ministered 50 faithfully TO his ne
cessities for so many years So one day when
the fever left him, he arose and returned 90 his
deserted home, where his sins were all forgiven.
and he was received again TO the heart OF his
injured spouse, whom We venture to predict
he will never desert again--Cincinnati Gasette.

A PETRIFIED SEA-SER RPENT.-The Sullivan
(lndiana) Unson is responsible for the following
tale OF a fossil sea-serpent. According % the
Union, in the Currysyile coal mines a few days
ago, at depth of one hundred and eighty feet,
while the miners were cutting through a slate
stone, they discovered the petrified body OF n
sea-serpent. "We examined this petrihcation," ;"
says the writer; land can say, with truth, that
IL rs the finest specimen we ever saw. Unfortu-
nately it was broken into three pieces, and a
piece from near the centre il missing-perhaps
thrown out in a silver of stone. A limb has
evidently fallen across the serpent, about eight
or ten inches from the head, and mashed the
part underneath fiat, and strange to saw, even
this thin part was formed into solid stone and
was taken out perfect The wrinkles in the
body Of the serpent, in its writhing as IL 20
extricate itself from the stick that fell across IT,
were As perfect and natural as the day the affair
took place. The head is shaped like that of an
eel, and the tail, from indications, must have
been supplied with a broad TN. or a fat feshy
substance, as propeller. The eve and mouth
can be distinctly traced, while the body is
covered with small sunken spots, similar 20
those on a hog skin, though not 30 small or
numerous This specimen is five feet three
inches long, and near ten inches around the
largest part OF the body. In addition TO this
most singular curiosity, perfect impressions of
leaves, limbs. brush and other samples of yege-
tstion were taken out at tins enormous depth.
Among these was a beautiful impression of
what Is famiiarly called snake weed, or fern,
which grows I'm almost every valley throughout
the western country"
