An effort has been made by morning paper to

money wherewitn TO purchase them. 1t speaks by
name OF hospitals that really nave no existence In

sensational statements by the one that the am

Ten YEARS IN MANS CLOTHING
One of the most remarkable instances
Of woman's attachment to man and he
roism under adversely came to our no
tice to-day. To begin at the commence
ment, We will state that in 1860,
young lady in the city Of Auburn, New
York, the daughter Of wealthy parents,
eloped with young man named Niles.
a railroad engineer, and both proceeded
to Cleveland, Ohio, and afterwards TO
Toledo. They were pursued by an in
furiated brother of the young lady, and
in the latter place, to avoid detection,
after the marriage ceremony had been
performed, the young lady arrayed her
self in male attire In this disguise,
and while selling apples, she passed her
brother several times on the street with
out recognition on bis part. Shortly
afterward, early in the war, the two
went south To Nashville, Tennessee,
where Niles procured employment IA a
locomotive engineer, his wife engaging
as fireman, still keeping mp her Disguise.
Between Nashville and Chattanooga a
shot from . rebel inflicted a serious
wound upon the engineer, and he was
taken to the Government hospital at
MurfreesbOro, Tenn. His wife follow
ed, and to her careful nursing Niles
owes his life. When sufficiently re-
covered to endure the hardships Of
travelling, they returned TO Cleveland
a few months later the alleged gold
discoveries at Mandock, Canada, attract
ed them thither, and the wife accom-
panied her husband, still in masculine
garments The vicissitudes Of her ca
reer, exposed to hardsbips and acci-
dents, were too severe, boweyer, and a
few weeks since she died at Cleveland,
after brief illness Niles, who is now
in this city, is man about forty year
of age. and does not refer to the heroic
devotion of his wife but in terms Of the
warmest admiration.

The bloom Of the roses are seeking to rest
Ere she slumbers 10 wake no more
All our hearts grow sad, ss we sit to-day
Watching her fading forever away
As her sisters have done years before.
How blithesome she seemed in that merry
June day,
She first came among us-singiDg away
All our murmuring doubts, aud our fears ;
Full laden With sunbeams, and laden with
flowers,
She stepped in our lives; and in the con lrast,
The hours
Grew brighter, as seen through Spring tears.
Now she too is flding the lily's pure kiss
And the dlisy's are pressing her hp. down to
bliss,
Ere she sleeps in the grave Of The past;
Even The sunshine's forgotten 10 give

ARE Girls USmArPr!-A lady writer
in the New York H9H says: Ofall the
hundred or more Of nice little girls
whom know well tour mag be called
unhappy. One Of these has listened TO
much foolish talk on the so-c3lled Wo-
man Question. Her father and brother
are ultra-conseryatiye, her mother ultra
radical. They can afford 10 keep but
one servant, yet the whole family try to
live in the style Of the people who. arc
waited on by three servant, and TIC con-
sequence Is oyer-wosk and yexation OF
spirit
This girl wishes TO study medicine,
but a. her idher has no MONEY 20 spare
for lecture foe-, she viii probably 20
through life discontented woman.
Another unhappy girls one Of FIVE sis
ters, the daughters Of a wealthy rian;
she ha. nothing to do, aud no wish 10
do anything; will not even read novel;,
and can seldom be coaxed ont 10 any
entertainment; listless dawdlcr.
Another constantly complains be-
cause she is poor and obliged TO work
for her living; canno. be fine lady
and live at her ease, and he's no present
prospect Of marriage. The fourth,
whom sincerely pity, Is good loving
girl, but is constantly kept in melan-
choIy state by the fault-fnding Of par
ents, who love ber dearly, but are en-
tirely too exsctiDg.
