stair to my uncle's room. The blinds

instead of the wretchedness of heart
and soul which had expected to follow
the loss of my uncle, something deeper
than any will Of my own asserted itself,
and as it were took the matter from me.
It was as if my soul avoided the sorrow
of separation by breaking with the world
of material things, asserting the shadowy
nature of all the visible, and choosing
its part with the something which
had passed away. 1t was as if
my deeper self said to my outer
consciousness: too, am Of the

A story of Adventure.

One of the most thrilling tales of ship
wreck and suffering of which we have
any record is reported by Mrs. s. A.
Wheelwright, of Brooklyp, wife of the
United States Consul to the Argentine
Republic, and her brother, A. S. Doane,
who, with Miss A. E Wheelwright,
cousin, and Mrs. Wheelwrights two chill
dren, were passengers on the ship Helles-
pont, which stranded on some rocks off
the coast of Brazil, about the Goth of
February. AT that time the captain was
sick, and the mate unable to take the
bearings Of the vessel by solar observa-
tions, was resorting to dead reckonings,
when, about two clock in the morning,
the ladies were awakened by the cry of
"breakers ahead, succeeded almost i'm
mediately by swell driving the vessel
upon the rocks with such force that they
were thrown from their berths to the
state-room floor. Immediately upon re-
alizing their situation, the sailors lost
every spark of courage, and raised the
most despairing cries, which were little
calculated to inspire with hope the help
less women and children, and they aban-
doned themselves to death, when the
captain said that long reef of sand
was discernible, and by the use of a
boat and line they might break through
the surf and reach it.
All were aroused to new and vigorous
effort by this faint encouragement, and
the voyage was successfully made, both
the ladies and all the crew being landed
in safety on what at first seemed bar
ren island, but was found, on going fur
ther back, to be made up of rolling land
covered with beautiful tropical vegeta-
ton, over which horsemen were seen APP
preaching with female forms among
them. They proved to be Portuguese,
who treated them kindly, and undertook
to get word to the American Consul, one
hundred miles south on the coast Of
Brazil A tent was made of the saved
sails of the ship, and all were huddled
together in little space, the sailors in
dulging in drunken reel caused by the
contents of the passengers wine bas-
kets. The next day they turned their
faces toward the far away Rio Grande,
travelling in carts drawn by oxen under
tropical sun, over wretched road,
and continuously exposed to the pitiless
storms of that country, and preferring to
sleep at night by the wayside rather than
patronize the miserable hostelries. After
ten days of this hardship they reached
the Rio GraNde de Sui, where they were
shown every attention, and started for
Buenos Ayres by easy conveyances. Ar
irving there o new and unlocked for dan
ger confronted them, for yellow fever was
taking off FIVE hundred persons day,
whose bodies, having no one to take care
of them, were thrown.to the sharks. EN-
barking at once in the clipper Serene,
they reached New York lower bay few
days since, and are still in quarantine,
though no sign of fever has made its ap-
pearance in the ship.

Music of ChOirs.

Last evening we were walking leisurely
along, as the music of the choirs in three
churches came noating out in the dark
ness around us, and they were all new
and strange tunes but one. And that
one-it was not sung as we have heard
it, but it awakened train of long buried
memories that rose to us even as they
we're before the cemetery of the soul had
tomb in It,
1t was sweet old Corinth" they were
singing-strains we have seldom heard
since the rose color of life was blanched,
and we we're in moment back again to
the old village church, and it was n sum-
mer afternoon, and the yellow sunbeams
were streaming through the west win
dows, and the silver hair of the old
deacon who sat in the pulpit was turned
to gold in its light; and the minister
who we used to think could never die, so
rood was he, had concluded "applica-
tion," exhortation," and the village
choir was singing the last hymn, and the
time was" Cofinth. "
II is years-we dare not think how
many--since then, and the prayers of
David, the son Of Jessie, are ended,

The girl with the blue eyes that sang
alto and the girl with black that sang
air-the eyes of the one were like
clear June heaven at night, and those of
the other like the same heaven at noon
They both became wives, and both
mothers, and they both died. Who
shall say they are not singing Corinth
still, where Sabbaths never wane, and
congregations never break upY There
they sat Sabbath after Sabbath, by the
square column at the right of the
leader" and to our young eyes they
were passing beautiful, and to our young
ears their tones were the very soul of
music" That column bears still their
n, anciled names, as they wrote them in
III, ,se DAYS in life's June, l83-, before
Dire, ,ms of change had overcome their
sniri,s, like a summers cloud.
Alasl that with the old singers most
of the sweet old tunes have died upon
the air; but they linger in memory, and
thew shall yet be sung again in the sweet
reunion of song that shall take place by
and by in a hall whose columns are
beams of morning light, whose ceiling is
nure pearl. whose floors are all gold, and
where hair never turns silvery, and where

~
From the Sedalia (Mo.) Times.l
The case Of George Gardner, of this
city, who as our readers may remember,
had his foot crushed on the III. X. and
4. II. r., sometime since, has given rise
to an experiment and n result in sur
gerry of great interest to the profession
and destined to command the attention
of scientific readers everywhere. A
report of the case will doubtless find its
way to the medical journals, but we may,
without impropriety, give an outline of
the experiment.
1t has always been difficult to cause
the healing Of wounds where any large
surface of the skin was gone, as nothing
but skin will produce new skin, and this
only for short distance (less than an
inch) around the margin. Hence, in
making amputations, it has always been
considered necessary to preserve flap
of skin to fold over the exposed end of
the limb in order to form q covering of
skin and good stump" But in Gard
ner's case the patient was too weak
to admit of amputation, and it was
question of life or death to save
the ankle joint and to form a skin cover
ing for the crushed and mangled stump.
This was done by wonderful process,
viz: by transplanting or grating on the
wounded part from time to time a small
portion of skin from another part of the
body. Pieces of skin, not so large as a
grain of wheat, we're taken from the pa
tents arm and grated on the lacerated
stump, where they took root, as it were,
formed nucleus for growth, and gradu-
ally spread till the whole surface was
completely covered with a sound and
new integument of skin, and the young
man has a good ankle joint and beau
tiful stump. The surgeon in charge
Whose name we are not at liberty to use)
does not claim to be the discoverer Of
this treatment, the credit of which is due
to celebrated surgeon of Paris-M.
Reverdin, we believe. But the present
case is believed to be the most clearly
defined and eminently successful one
vet treated in the United States, and as
such will undoubtedly excite much in
terest in scientific circles.
