A broken-hearted young thing
writes to q weekly paper as follows:
"About three years ago | became
acquainted with young gentleman;
and, although he never paid me
any particular attentions, he would
often accompany me TO and from
church, etc. But lately, | noticed
. great change in him. He avoids
me as much as possible, and starts
i'll address him. Can he have
ceased to love me? for | know he
did, though he never said 80. If !
thought lie had. il would break my
heart" Perhaps we ought not 10
interfere in this matter; but, ~ we
know exactly what should be done
with the young man, we feel as if
we ought to speak out. Do mot
attempt to reason with him or Ca
iole or pacify him. The next time
lie calls, take q monkey wrench,
fasten it well upon his nose, lead
him off to the dining-room and ask
him what he means. If he won't
answer, twist the wrench three Or
four times and butt his head up
against the stove or the mantel-
piece until his gloom is dispelled.
Ifhe says be has ceased to love
you let your fingers daily with his
riuglets lovingly for . few minutes,
and then suddenly lit out q couple
of hsndiills and have all lrishman
at hand to come in and sit on him
awhile and knock out his teeth
and jump up and down ON him and
be sociSble. Then let him go and
commence your arrangements to
rope in fresh man. You cannot
afford to waste your young lite
upon such q wretch ss thir; and
where heart viii not throb to heart
or toul respond TO soul, the best
thing to do iS to confuse the noSe
ut Oi0e.

idiot! Gull! 1t is quite useless
to call myself names. 1t is almost
superhuous to add that when /
called at . certain address at Eas.
ton square, to inquire for Miss Lucy
Hamilton, the lady was not to be
found. Probably the Pdear AL
fred" had required speedy change
of air; probably brother and sister
were even embracing in rapturous
gratitude over the precious relic OF
one lost to them so lately. Was
that dear one not lost, but trans
formed? Had the silver-haired
patriarch of the first visit changed
to the buck Of the thirdp And was
the virtuous teacher Of youth only
the tender sister in masquerade?
On my word believe so. | dare
say they are all enjoying the joke.
Possibly it is Q dodgd often repeated.
But what am | to say to Fred?

not complimentary to the lady in
question.
A tall, graceful figure,
draped in mourning, rises ut my

away her face. She hes cume to

carelessly lost, the parting gift Of

striving to be firm; "bNt it would

A FREAK OF NATURE.


woudrous Effects Of Indian Turnip-A Re-
markabie Bearded Boy Developed Like n
Man.
Washington cosnty, Ind, has wonderful
lusus nature In the person OF a boy not yet
three years of age. From a gentleman who
recently visited the house Of the father Of the
boy, and saw him with his own eyes, we learn
the following particulars: James Williams, q
well-to-do farmer, who resides twelve miles
east by south OF Salem, has boy who will be
three years old on the 18th of October next
The child is very healthy, and well formed In
every respect except his weight Is seventy
about one year of age this child began to de-
velop rapidly, and now presents the appear
ance of q man. Upon the face arc long black
whiskers and moustache Of remarkably thrifty
growth and fneness Of texture. The back and
breast of the child are covered with silken
black hair from two to three inches In length.
The child has good health and Is very in
telligent. The face wears as thoughtful an
| expression as that Of q man Of mature years,
and Is withal quite handsome, were it not
| that the cheeks puff out rather too much,
thereby deiracting from Its beauty. Our in
formant says he never saw such wonderful
sight In his life, and states that those who
live near Mr.. Williams and see the child
almost daily yet look upon the little one In
perfect amazement.
In making inquiry as to how this freak
| OF nature was accounted for, the mother
of the child stated that when he was
In his first year he got hold Of an Indian
turnip and cat It up. This vegetable Is a
very powerful astringent, and the physician
In attendance at the time Is said to have
worked q whole day to counterfeit its In
fuence. From this time the child com
suit above described. As we are not skilled
In materia medica, we do not give an opinion

Of the spine, Is one best adapted to girls with
