CURTOSITIES or DEATH.


4 physician of nearly forty years eN-
Len>ivc practice in Massachusetts recent
lv stated. aS the result of his observation.
that. al The tine OF death, there was
never any uuwillingne>S to lie. This
remark being made in the presence of
Rev. Dr. Addison. OF Trinity church,
Washington Cily, called from him the
reioindti that he believed it u be true !;
and cited a.; au Illustration, the case of II
young man. in fall possession OF all his
powers, ply ,ical and mental, struck at
his hulel, but few hours before, with =
mortal disease. and informed that he
could not live ill night, who accepted
the inevitable. as it prepared for 1t 10y
some subtle process ol nature, with en-
tire calmness. Death is so dreadful to
those who look on, that il is natural to
transfer the feeling to the one dying. But
in all eases where acute pain is not wear
ING out life, a careful diagnosis will show
both the approach and presence OF death
to be positively pleaSant-aS pleasant as
the approach and presence OF sleep. Oi
course this does not incl@de violent death.
And yet capital punishment, wounds re-
ceivcd from Casualties or in battle, drown
ing, starving, freezing, or being torn by
wild beasts, cause, when productive OF
death, less pain than is usually supposed.
DIR. Adam Clarke, the commentator, was
recovering from drowning. He states,
"All nv views and ideas seemed instant
Iy changed, and had sensations of the
utmost felicity that il is possible, indie

to real. had no pain from the moment
/ was submerged; kind of green color

Capt. John Vaughan Graham, OF the
royal navy. who went down in the
George" and who was reSusctated al
ter three hours inanimation, states that
he had no sense whatever of suffocation.'
He saw the sun shining through the wa
ter, and had a dreamy feeling that he
should see II no more But he felt no
fear nor any desire for rescue. He had
delight in cropping at the bottom of the
water, and feeling OF anger towards
those who drew him out. There was no
pain, and the "reminiscences Of the events
of his life produced pleasurable sensa'
tions.
DIR, Livingstone, the African traveller,
gives the following account Of being
seized by lion, and of his sensations:

bills, advertisements, circulars, and
sought in every way to discover the girls

crazed with grief, the case gained notori-
ETY. throughout the whole State, and as a
last hope, the lawyers determined to mp.
peal 10 the Masonic fraternity throughout
the United States for assistance. This
was in May last, after seven months of
weary and fruitess search. A circular
containing close description of the girl,
and detailing the circumstances of the
case, was mailed to several hundred

Oh, went to play N TIA Tuileries With
her nurse. There s>e meet little boy
who gave her a gold ring. As the
children were strangers to each other,
end did not meet again, the owner of
the ring remained unknown, and so
the little N RI kept it for = plaything.
That ring was Josephine's, and the Ut
tie boy was Louis MAJ o:eon, who had
run away with the ring. The loss Of
the ring was bad omen to Josephine,
tor year afterwards she had to resign
10 favor OF another. Little Maria kept
the playthins till she grew up. At
sixteen years Of age she married, and
became tho mother Of Eugene, whose
birth took place May 5, 1926. Her
mother engraved this date on the ring
she had worn so long herself and when
Eugene was older, gave it to her.
When quite child, Eugene went to
London to pay visit. There she be.
came acquainted with Louis Napoleon,
Who saw the ring with the date and
Josephlno's name on it, and knew it
had belonged to her: From this c1r-
cumstance Louis looked upon the little
Montijo as attached to his house, and
twenty years afterward it became fact.
After time, Eugenie's mother came
to regard the token as Of great import
ance, and formed plan of bringing the
two families together. That was the
secret Of so lovely woman as Eugene
remaining single till the age Of twenty
six. A crown awaited her, which was
never lost sight of.

melon, cucumber, and squash vines
Dissolve tablespoonful Of saltpetre
IN pailful of water; put one pint Of
this liquid around each hill, shaping
the earth 50 that it will not spread
much, and the thing is done. Saltpetre
is good for vegetable, but death to ami
NAL life. The bugs burrow in the earth
at night aud fail to rise in morning.
It also good to kill the borer in the
peach trees; but one quart Of the liq'
uid should be used ito each tree. A

without dagger Of killing the tree OF

REPUBLICAN FINANCIAL MANAGE
NENT.
From the New York Tribune.

From the Neo York Tribune.
The review Of the mana cement Of the
National Finances which we publish to-
day, is admirably designed to in snira
with pride and qualification every p,-
triotic citizen cf the Republic. 1t is
noble cxemp!ifcation of the resources
OF the country, as we'll as an eloquent
testimonial to the general ability with
which the great financial system of the
nation has been handled. Friends Of the
Republican Administration of the Gov
ernm mt may we'll be proud of such an
exhibit, showing, as it does, great re-
duction in the National Debt, year by
year, as we'll as a gradual amelioratio1
in the burdens Of taxation which the
long and costly war of the Shareholders
Rebellion imposed upon the people.
During the two years and one month
ending April l, 1871, the public debt
has been reduced s2l5,765,663, an
amount which will surprise those cav
ilers who have contended that the Gov
crnment ofthe United States must even
tual]y become bankrupt. Then the
burden Of interest has, by wise leg,sla-
tion and prudent management, been
greatly reduced. In March, 1869, the
monthly charge was slO,532 ,462 so
in April, 1871, it was $9,527,2l2 67,
being decrease Of Sl,O05, ,249 81, or
round twelve millions tor tie yearly
interest charge; and this rel iet, it
should be borne in miad, is perma-
neut.
Meantime the credit of the Govern
ment has everywhere advanced, and
nice calculations show tha. -ur borrow
ing power isnow enhanced 16 per cent.
as compared with what i: was at tho close
of Johnson's Administration. Other re-
ductions appear in the financial manage
| ment of our excellent Postal service, in
which department an annual saving Of
at least 100000 has been effected.
| And the reduction of taxation is equal
to 1851, ,848,827 per annum. These
figures, and other telling points brought
out in the review, are full of encour-
agement to those who wish we'll of the
Republic. 1t is matter for songrat-
ulatlon with all members of the great
Republican party that its administra-
ton of tho foancial affairs Of the Ma
tion can safely challenge scrutiny.
What Republic anlsm does for the
Nation these figures show. What
Democracy does for New York the 6g-
uies Of the City Accounts as published
show those still concealed, apparent
ly because too bad for publication, BY
their very absence show still more elo.
quently.

THE PETkIFIED FERN.

In valley, centuries ago,
Grew little fern Leaf green and slender,
Vsining delicate and hbrcs tender, ia ',
Waving when the wind crept down 30 low;
Bushes tall and moss and grass grew round it
Playful sunbeams darted In and found it
But no foot Of man e'er came that way,
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
Uselessi Lost There came thoughtful man
Searching natures secrets far and dtsp-
From flssure In rocky .teep-
He Withdrew stone DER which there ran
Fairy pencilings, quaint design,
Leakage, veininf, fbres, clear and nne,
And the ferns life lay in every line
30 I think God hides some lives away,
sweetly to surprise US the last day.
THE LILY AND THE NOON.
The slender water lily
Peered up into the sky,
The moon flung kisses to her
And many lovers sigh.
she turned her face, all blushing,
Down the water, soon
Lo! At her feet she found him,
The poor, pale moon.
