waiting for him the table fairly groaned,
not with plated silver, but the solid mate

the family were seated round in pleasant

mans favorite dish was not there. Closer
he came to the table, and with the inquiry,
"Did you not know that | wanted a shad
for breakfast % He raised his foot and
overturned the whole table on the hoor.
''It was at the fire being kept warm for
you," replied his noble wife IN her quiet,
lady-like and conquering way. In an in

the situation The next lie was on his

great while after that he died. His will

left her all he had-S2, 100000 The
above touching story is from Halls Jour

it without dy ing and leaving his wife g.

can read il without forthwith buying n

story appeared in New York, some fifty
thousand more shad were sold than on
any proceeding day since the trade in that
fish was first inaugurated. Broadway,
Fifth avenue, and other Of the prominent
highways were one mass of women and

NEWSPAPER Projection -Doubtless
nearly all railway passengers in cold

This is especially the case with those who
sit near the windows. To obviate this

tect you from the cold. .as effetually as
would a heavy blanket. Thrown over

THE first manufacturer of buttons in
this country was Samuel Williston-
While lie was dragging along as a country
store keeper-his eyes having failed him
while studying for the ministry-his good
wife bethought her that she could cover by
hand the wooden buttons Of the time. and
thus earn an honest penny. From this
time the couple advance1in their ambition
until they had perfected machinery for
covering buttons; the first employed for
the purpose in this country. From this
sprang an immense factory, and then
others, until Samuel Williston made half
the buttons in the world. His factories
are still running in Easthampton, and
known to every dealer in buttons the
world over. He is now between seventy
and eighty years of age, is worth FIVE or
six millions, and has given 100000 to
Easthampton for seminary and for
churches, and 100000 to Amherst Col
lege, besides lesser gifts.

BUn1AL OF THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT

BURIAL OF THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT
This is the way they did it in Delaware
according to the Wilmington Gazette The
author need not be afraid that the .'shade'
of Sir John Moore viii haunt him:
Not a drum was heard, not q funeral note,
As his corpse to oblivion we hurried;
Not groan escaped from a hite mans throat
hen the Fifteenth A mendmert was buried.
We buried him deep ir DelawGres soil
SO deep th4t they ne'er win uncover him,
Unless some Radicals boring for oil.
BY the dearlv-loved scent should discover him
His coffin was N lde of bIllot-box,
With white mems ballots we bound him,
And he looked like a baboon taking his res:
With COMMERCIALS and TRIBUYEs around him
Few and short were the speeches we made,
We dr9pped not a tear or a moan,
But his body and spirit together we laid,
Just out of the white mans home
And as we were hastily tramping him down,
Twas said If the d don't take him.
He'll quietly sleep in that grave so deep,
Til the trumpet Of Gabriel shall wake him

FAR away among the Allcghanies, there

A FREAK OF NATURE.-A corresp ondent
of the Mobile Register, of November 3, gives
the following story
''Having heard that it was reported that
it had been raining for several DAYS on the
enclosed ground which forms my family
burying ground in the Catholic burying
ground on Stone street, above Three Mile
creek, drove out there last evening 10 salts
fy myself, and to my intense astonishment.
| saw that column Of rain was coming
down without ceasing, which, altogether,
hardly powerful enough to lay the dust, was
enough to wet the hands or any article, and
at times it rained quite hard. The volume
of rain fell inside the enclosure, and nowhere
else, as the weather was and has been bright
and clear all the time during the five Gays
the rain had been falling on these graves.
There are thirteen of my family buried in
the lot of ground upon which it has been
raining. My mother. brother, and sisters
visited the spot yesterday and the day he
fore to satisfy themselves about the truth of
this matter, and they declare that they too
saw this wonderful phenomenon. 1t has
also been seen by over two hundred persons.
/ took friend with me when visited the
spot. who also saw the rain falling as de-
scribed. Mr.. John Rosset, the keeper of the
cemetery, told me that the rain had com
menced falling in heavy drops about FIVE
days ago. am willing ia take my oath as
TO the truth Of this statement"
So incredible did this extraordinary affair
seem, that those who saw it several davs
ago refrained from stating OF asserting what
they had seeL. for fear that not only their
veracity, but their sanity would be ques-
toned. and it was not until number Of
gentlemen of the first respectfully had seen
and reported the result of their personal ob,
servations, any credence was attached to the
truth of the matter. Take it all together. it
Is certainly the most astounding atmosphere
cal wonder in this part of the world. and
will doubtless afford abundant food for
thought, research, and observation not only
among scientific men. but all classes.
