Papa, Don't Bury Ne Deep

In the Spring of 1869, a little gill
died of consumption in Frederick city
aged eight years and three months.
"A few days before she died she called
her father to her bedside and said.
Papa, when | die, don't bury me
deep-not more than so Deep holding
up her slender and emaciated arm and
measuring from her shoulder out. 90!
it is 50 hard to be put down so deep in
the cold, damp ground and please
don't place any marble slab on my
grave, it will be so dark under it, and
it will press so heavy upon my little
breast. Sod my grave nicely, and plant
a tree at its head so that the wild birds
can gather in its branches and sing for
me- After a pause she continued,
'But it seems to me I would rather
have our birds sing for me than the
wild birds. Couldn't you let brother
Willie and sister Emma bring our cage
of little birds out to the cemetery eve
ny Sunday morning and leave them
sing for me all day. Then when you
are all at church in town it won't seem
so lonesome out there by myself" :
few days after this, Annie died, and her.
atfectionate parent did everything as
she requested. She was buried shallow
the grave nicely sodded and a tree
planted at its head. And still yet eve
ry Sabbath morning, Willie and Emma
can be see going out to the cemetery
with their cage Of little birds to Armies
grave.

CREDIT MoBILIER The following
anecodote has been reproduced to illus.
trate why the majority in Congress
took no action against the corruption
exhibited by the Credit Mobilier inves-
tigation:
Mr.. Lincoln had been retained AZ;
counsel for fellow accused of STEALING
SIX fine hogs. The trial came on. and,
the witnesses for the State proved the
theft beyond all question, and Identified
MIR. Llncoln's client as the thief. When;
the testimony had closed, Mr.. Lincoln
turned to the thief and said:
4 see no ground for any defence in
the case, sir. If the witnesses are to
believed, you are guilty, and l cannot
make anything else ofit.'
Never mind my guilt said the con-
hding client. Jest set up and abuse
them witnesses like the deuce, and
spread yourself on general principles.
Mr. Lincoln did as he was told. The
jury retired, in less than half hour.
much to the surprise of court and
counsel, returned a verdict of Not

A bachelor friend is in deep trouble.
He has a pet calf which entered his
room the ether day during his absence
ate dozen cakes Of perfumed soap,
chewed into tatters all his Sunday
shirts, swallowed his pair of socks,
knocked down all the furniture in the
room, and then quietly took nap on
the floor until his return. He thinks
the cool impudence Of that calf is in

LOOK WrrEIN. An English medica
man has invented machine by which
he throws such q powerful light upon
the human body that the flesh and
blood are made transparent, and in this
manner any arrangement of the inter
nal organs may be readily detected.
We welcome this invention with a feel
ing of intense delight. We have long
desired to see en- energetic stomach
ache in active operation, and now the
wish can be gratihed. A thing of this
kind will be very convenient in many
respects. After hearty supper a
man will be able to look in and see
whether it is the lobster salad or the
clans that disagree with him when he
has pain in his leg he can examine it
and see whether one of his ribs has slip
ped down into his calf; he can hunt
around in his brain for ideas without
the trouble OF thinking about them; he
can examine his rheumatism at leisure
and see how it works and he can tell
with accuracy when his liver gets out
of repair and he needs new one. We
shall buy one of these machines and il
Illuminate our friends. 1t will kill the
medical profession When man can
detect a whooping cough the very min
ute it is organizing inside for work,
and can go for it at once, the doctors
and undertakers will have to quit the

How THE APAcuEs POP THE QUEs-
TloN.-Even those copper colored cut
Threats, the Apache Indians, have a
touch of delicacy and romance in them.
From lecture delivered in San Fran
cisco by Colonel John c. Germany, we
take the following account of their
counting customs: Every young girl is
at liberty to refuse suit for her hand.
The father, mother and brother are pro-
hiblted from interfering in her choice.
Her person is at her own disposal.
After brief courtship, the lover makes
a formal proposal by offering SO many
horses. Horses are o standared of val
ue among the Indians. As the squaw
does all the work, horses are accepted
as all equivalent for her labor When
a young warrior becomes enamored, he
fastens his horse near the wigwam OF
the squaw whose hand he seeks, where
he is left four days. If she fails to
feed and water the horse during that
time, the master is rejected; but if she
accepts his offer, she grooms and kindly
cares for the horse, and then ties him tc
thewigwam of her lover, as much as to
say, q am willing to be your slave and
do your work" At the marriage the
sages and sachems meet together, ano
the bride is not unfrequently loaded
with forty to fifty pounds of silver and
copper trinkets.

Es Caught It.

MI. IWeeZer was on the bluff, last
evening, calling on q lady friend, and
they were out on the porch, discussing
the works of the great authors when
the young ladys pet white rabbit, which
had escaped from its cage, came rush
ing around the house with big yellow
dog after it. The young lady screamed.
and Mr.. Tweezer threw rocking chair
at the dog, frightening him away, but
knocking over eight flower pots and
telescoping the chair. Then the young
lady implored Mr. Tweezer to catch the
rabbit and save it from the horrid
dogs.
And Mr.. Tweezer commenced to
catch rabbit. He employed stratagem
at first, following it around the back of
the house and whistling gently, in true
hunters style, to arrest its attention
and cause it to stop. Then he
made grab at it when it paused to
reflect under the gooseberry bushes
MIR. Tweezer grabbed not wisely but
too well, for the rabbit took advantage
of his plunging and snatching around
smeng the bushes to scurry over into a
neighoring yard.
Tweezer didn't like that much. and
he took occasion to say something de
rogatory to the character of the rabbit
as he extricated himself from the thick
ct. But seeing the young lady near,
he smiled dim sort of a smile
and got off dismal sort of a Joke
about forty thorns in the hand being
worth a rabbit in a bush Then he
girded up his loins and resumed the
catching of the rabbit Ife had left his
hat among the fruitful shrubs, and
and as he vaulted over the fence
portion Of his coat tail remained
on protruding nail But Mr.. Tweezer
meant business, and so did the rabbit.
They coursed across the yard, then out
in the street, then down two blocks,
then into potato field, then into an
other yard, and here man came out
and asked Tweezer what in all sixty
six he was trying to do. Tweezer
asked him if he didn't have sense
enough to see for himself And the
man smiled sad plying smile.
Ere this interview took place, it
might be stated that the rabbit had
gone under the COW stable. Tweezer
cra w!ed under and chased it out Any
b 'dy might know that by the look Of
his white duck clothes When he
came out the chase began anew. The
rabbit was fair, and waited for him
just on the other side of the fence.
This time the pursuit led down the
middle Of the street.. and spectators
locked on and ciapped their hands with
enthusiasm. Tweezer's blood was up,
and he resolved to catch the rabbit or
die in the attempt. He looked very
much as though he would have a
chance to die in the attempt So it APP
peared until a dog darted out and
caught the rabbit. When Mr.. Tweezer
came up and received the prey from the
jaws Of its captor, he found to his mex
pressible sorrow that the poor little ami
NAL had not been killed. So he bore
it back and restored it, unframed, to
the loving arms which awaited it at
home, and in tie midst of caresses
which were lavished on the return of
the beautiful pet, poor Tweezer was
forgotten.
