A SoMNAMBULIsT T.-Belshazzar Smith had a very
bad and very dangerous habit of walking in his
sleep. His family feared that during some one
of his somnambulstic saunterings he would
charge out of the window and kill himself; so
William and to tie one end of a rope round his
body and the other end round the waist of little
William. The first night after this arrangement
was made, Belshazzar dreamed that burglar
was pursuing him with a dagger. So he crept
over to Williams side of the bed, stepped over
Williams slumbering form, jumped out on the
floor and slid under the bed. He stayed there
awhile fast asleep; and then, his nightmare hav-
ing changed, he emerged upon the other side of
the bed, and got under the cover in his old place.
The rope it will be observed, was beneath the
bed, and it was pulled taut, too. Early in the
morning, Belshazzar, about half awake, scrouged
over against William. To his surprise the move
ment jerked William clear out of bed. BelshaZ-
zar leaped out to ascertain the cause of the phe
uomenon, and at the same time his brother dis
appeared under the bed. BelshazZar, hardly yet
awake, was scared, and he dived beneath the bed
stead as he did so he heard William skirmishing
across the blankets over his head. Once more he
rushed out just in time to perceive William glide
over the other side. Belshazzar then became
sufficiently conscious to feel the rope pulling him.
He comprehended the situation at once, and dis
engaged himself. And perhaps little William
was not mad He was in the hospital undergoing
repairs for about three weeks, and when he came
out he had strange desire to sleep alone. Bels-
shazzar anchors himself now to an anvil.-MaI

truth transmit the hearts real feelings pure and

a higher place in the worlds code of honor; but

gS-This story comes from Maine: A man
in Portland married widow. She had a fash
ion, which is too common among ladies who've
buried man, of giving glowing accounts of
the angelic virtues of the dear departed. AS
the prohibition law is in force in Maine, he
could not drown his sorrows in liquor, so he
nerved his soul to take a terrible revenge. One
night when his wife was sleeping soundly, per-
haps dreaming of the "frst" victim of her
charms, he arose from his bed, took a sledge-
hammer, and deliberately raising it to his
shoulder, he marched to the graveyard and
smashed the tombstone of his dead rival in lit
tie bits. Now, when his wife says anything
about the virtues of the dead man, he replies :
at may be all very true, but he can't mash my
tombstone; there's whore I'm ahead"

Palmer, Trustees. This mortgage consolidates
the New Jersey Southern, the Delaware, the

GONE LOVING HEART."

One loving heart is more to me
Than aught that fortune can bestow;
The treasures from the distant sea,
That with such radiant lustre glow,
The glory of monarch's throne
Not half the pleasures could impart;
OF all earth's treasures l would own
One loving heart.
How sweet the spell it throws around
Our homes, though humble they may be,
And where one loving heart is found
'Tis always paradise to me.
Oh, Fate, my hopes thou may'st bereave,
And bid my cherished dreams depart;
Take all things else prize, but leave
One loving heart.
