Shai p's the Word.

Old Judge D was an eccentric
man Of prompt action, and, moreover, q
bachelor. Being very rich, mamma and
blooming girls OF the period tried TO en-
slave his affections in hymen's letters,
though without success. Cupid's arrows
had not reached the Judges heart with
any particular love for them, One day
he entered a restaurant In Philadelphia
and was waited on by n very pretty girl,
at whom he looked So hard that she no
ticed 1t and blushed deeply. He imme-
dlatcly desired her to SIT down a minute,
informed her who he was, and asked her
point blank 10 marry him, and told her he
would give her TIL he had finished his
dinner to decide what answer she would
make. lie then commenced his meal,
the young woman waiting on him all The
while. He never took 80 long 10 eat his
dinner before or after, nor was he ever
known 10 dispose OF 80 much pr0vender
at one sitting. At length he could hold
no more, so getting up he called the young
lady, and 10 his usual short way, said
Times up. Yes, or no, my dear"
Yes, sir" blushed the maiden.
Without another word he slipped her
arm through his, and walking up to the
estonished proprietor, informed him that
the young lady was to be married to him
right away, and begged his company To
witness the ceremony.
They were speedily Joined together in
wodlock, and what is most singular, they
fell deeply in love with each other af.er
marriage and made the best model couple
to bo found in the country. The Judge
always held that at best marriage was but
a lottery, and he had drawn u prize.

A Heroic Act.

HOWEVER mWh the world may have
degeneratet in late years, every now and
then we are called upon to chronicle an
act of heroism that sends a proud thrill
of admiration to the heart. at the chivalric
selt.denial which Ia exhibited, r~ivaling
even the widest traditions that are handed
down of heroism displayed in a heroic
age. Of such Is the instance now brought
to notice.
AT a little station called Shunpike, on
the Duchess and Columbia Railroad, a few
days since, occurred the scene we are
about to relate: As the $50 train was
nearly due on Thursday morning, Mr..
Frederick Case, station agent at Shun.
pike, and living at a short distance from
the track, left his home for the purpose
of opening the ticket tfice. He had not
been gone long, when his little son, two
years old, found his way through the
open gate TO the track, where he was at
tracted, no doubt, with the childish curl
osity of his age. His sister, eleven years
of age, busyiDg herself about household
duties, did not at first notice his absence.
Suddenly, hearing the shrek of the ap
proaching train, she looked for her little
brother, and, glancing through the open
door, was for a moment paralyzed at
behOlding him standing In the path of the
approaching train, clapping his hands in
childish glee at It's unusual appearance.
Recovering herself in a second, with a
ely of agony she sprang through the open
door ana down the garden path with the
spell Of the wind, thinking and caring
for rothing but her brothers. danger.
The engineer, noticing the flying form,
whistled down brakes; but too late, for
just as the heroic girl was lifting her
brother from the track, the remorseless
crushed them both down under
the terrible wheels. The train wa, final.
ly stopped, however, when they we're
up. The boy, beyond q few slight
bruises, was uninjured but the brave girl
was terribly mangled, one leg and one
foot being literally torn in pieces, and be-
ing otherwise badly bruised about the
limbs and body. She was taken back TO
house and physicians summoned, who
are making every effort TO gave her life,
and, from late accounts, they are likely TO
ucceed.-Albany Journal.

The v of the N. Y. American
Institute Farmers Club, have discussed
the king. bird, and come to the conclusion
that he does not destroy bees. A cores
pondent Of the Ne@ England Farmer says
that he doubts this decision, and recently
watched a king bird flying about a swarm
of bees. His observations convinced him
that the bird was there for the very pur.
pose of catching the workers as they re.
turned to the hive, loaded with honey,
and also that he was succeeding at the
business very finely. A few days since a
neighbor shot q king-bird which was fit
ting about among his swarms, and upon
dissecting him, found ten Of the bees in
his stomach. Now, if king. birds don't
cat bees. how came bees there?
