THE WIDOW TO HER SON.


Remember, Denis. all bade you say:
Tell him WEI 9 well and happy. thank the Lord ;
But Of our troubles since he went away
You'll mind avick. and never say word.
Of cares and troubles, sure. I've all our share,
The finest summer isn't always fair.
Tell him the spotted heifer calved in May;
She died poor thing but that yoSa NEEDN'T nee @ mind
But tell him God TO us was very kind,
And when the fever spread the country Ger
His mercy kept the sickness IRON our door,
Be sure to tell him how the neighbors came
And cut the and stored il in the barn;
'Twould be as well to mention them by name
Pat Murphy. Ned McCabe and shamus earn,
And big Tim DAILY from behind the hill;
And say. agra!-oh, say, miss him still.
They came with ready hands our toll to share;
Twas then l missed him most-my own right
hand;
/ felt, although kind hearts were round me there.
The kindest heart beat in foreign land.
Strong hand brave heartl-one severed FAR
By many a weary league of shore and sea.
And tell him she was with us-hell know who;
Mavourneen. hasn't she the winsome eyes?
The darkest. deepest, brightest bonniest blue
L ever saw, except in summer skies;
And such black hair lit is the black hair
That ever rippled over neck so fair.
Tell him old Pincher fretted many day,
And moped, poor dog twas well he didn't die
Crouched by the roadside. how he watched the way.
And shifted the travellers as they passed him by
Hail, rain, or sunshine, sure twas all the same
lie listened for the food that never came.
Tell him the house is lonesome-like and cold,
The fire itself seems robbed of half its light;
But may be tbs my eyes are growing old.
And things look dim before my failing sight
For all that tell him twas myself that spun
The shirts you bring and stitched them every
ohe'
Tell him my prayers are offered for his good.
That he may keep his Maker still in sight
And firmly stand as his brave father stood
True to his name. his country and his God
Faithful to home, and steadfast still abroad

Hopkins Stop.

When Hopkins was organist at st.
Abednego's church, he gave concert
for the benefit of the Sunday School.
Hopkins would fb sometimes and lie
had told some of his brother organists
that he had a "yox humana stop in his
organ. As several of them were COM
ing around to the concert, Hopkins de-
termined to prevent them from detect
ing the deception. So he engaged
friend of his who sang tenor down at
the negro Tinsirels to come up and get
into the organ case and sirg. 1t was
arranged that Hopkins was to give
certain signal and that the minstrel was
to tune up and warble an air. When
the concert came off the scheme worked
splendidly. Every body exclaimed,
:" How beautiful Elegant isn't it ?"
Sounds exactly like a human voice"
Then there was an encore, and another
air was sung. Right in the middle of it
the vox hUmana stopped suddenly. Then
it was heard swearing and using the
most dreadful language inside the or
gan. Then it yelled for help, and Hop
kins dashed around to the rear to ascer-
tain what was the matter He found
that his man had been standing on the
bellows, and that the blower objected to
the extra weight, and finally began a
combat with Hopkins friend, and now
the bellows blower had the "vox huma-
ma stop down on the floor inside the or
gan, and he was nibbling at the "vox
hnmana's" nose and rolling him around

cry in manner that thaeatened gener-
al generalization to the machine. And
the more the combat deepened the loud
er the "vox humana howled. They
were separated by the wardens, and the
concert continued in minor and mel.
ancholy key. But the next day they
discharged Hopkins from the St. Abed-
nego's, and now he wishes the bellows
man had murdered the minstrel on the
spot Mar Alder.

A SHOWER OF PEBBLEs.-The steam
er New York, Capt Winchester, when
eight miles from land, thirty-three miles
east of Portland, on her trip from Bos-
ton, July 10th, between Z and s o'clock
was visited by shower of pebbles that
fell like hail-stones. The watch on deck
who was trimming his light at the time,
supposed that some of the crew were
pelting him. The whole of them fell
abaft the paddle-boxes. In the morning
be swept them up and threw all but one
handful overheard, much to the regret
of all on board as some were very hand
some. In the opinion of an eminent ge
ologist the stones were taken by a whirl
wind from some brook. /. Will be re
membered that the sky presented verJ
singular appearance that evening. The
wind at the time, to use queer expires
sion, blew from all quarters. The stones
saved were about one size, and presen
the worn appearance of pebbles on tn,
bottom of fresh-water brook, and viii
weigh about half an ounce each.

A Turkish State Funeral
the funeral Of the Ia

hepOftiuB tue luneral OF Tue ihtc Lar
II Pasha. the Levant Times says
The interment of the late grand mas
ter OF artillery did not take place at the
early hour which had been fixed by the
family. Oa receiving tidings OF the
shocking event, the Sultan. who had a
high personal regard for the deceased,
directed that the funeral should be post
poned, in order that it should be per-
formed with all the honors due TO the
Pasha's rank and merits. His majesty
also gave orders that the deceased should
be buried in the turbeh adjoining the
Tophaneh mosque, next to the resting
place of the Snltan's late brother-in-law
Mehemet Ali, Capudan Pasha. The
postponement also enabled number of
the deceased's colleagues and friends to
pay the last mark OF respect to him. A
regiment of artillery and regiment of
infantry, and military band, accompa-
MED his remains from his residence at
Nishan.Tash to the Mosque Of Topha-
neh, followed all the way by great
number of people, Musselemens and
Christians, the route being kept by
body of zaptiebs. The deceased was, as
is the Moslem custom, carried in plain
and roughly put together deal coffin,
with pyramid shaped lid, covered with
a Cashmere shawl, his fez being placed
at the head of the coffin. The chief
mourners appeared to be the deceased's
sons-in-law.
The bearers changed every moment,
hundreds of persons constantly pressing
forward to assist in carrying the coffin,
which was considered alike privilege
and duty among the faithful. When
the body was carried into the mosque
yard it was placed in front of the
mosque, on box covered with turk
ish rug, and it was left there, while tbs
followers went into the mosque to pray
ers 1t was an hour and half before
they came out of the mosque. The man
then offered up prayer in the open air
over the body, all the Mussulmen pres
ent joining, silently, and concluding
with the Amin" pronounced in low
murmur. The priest then repeated some
verses of the Koran, in loud voice,
the multitude, after each verse, ejaculat-
ing Amin" in the same manner. Af-
ter this ceremony, which lasted about
FIVE minutes, the coffin carried into the
mosque burial ground and placed
alongside the grave. The lid was then
removed, bat all that was visible to the
bystanders was body swathed in white
linen, the hands, which rested on cotton
wool, being alone exposed TO view. At
ter the coffin-without the lid-was low
cred into the grave--a black vault about
six feet deep-the imam descended also,
and removed the covering from the face
and breast. The features were not all
disfgured, and the only marks perceiv-
able were a bruise under one ear and
another on the shoulder -Four large
stones having been laid over the vault
and the melancholy ceremony is termin-
ated. All the imperial ordinance facto-
ries we're closed for the day, and the
workmen were among the attendants at
the funeral.

TOBACCO AND THE HEART.-M. De.
caisne, IN communication to the Acad.
emie des Sciences. exhibets another clause
in the heavy bill of Indictment against
the abuse of tobacco. He states that in
the course of three years he has met,
among eighty-three inveterate smokers,
twenty-one instances of marked In
termittence of the pulse, occurring in
men from 27 to AZ years of age, and
not to be explained by organic lesion of
the heart. The absence of such lesion
or other condition of hearth capable OF
the action on the heart, and the fact
that in nine of these instances, in which
the use of tobacco was abandoned, the
normal action of the organ was restored,
M. Debaisne believes, will justify him
in concluding, that, in certain sub
jects, the abuse Of tobacco may give
rise to condition which may be termed
narcotism of the heart" characterized
by intermission in the movements of that
organ and in the pulsations of the radi-
cal artery; and that, in some cases, a
suspension or diminution in the practice
of smoking is sufficient to cause an en-
tire disappearance of this irregularity

to move any portion of his body save
his right arm. With this he raised his
knife aloft, and as MeClusky erawled
up to within reach dealt HIM a terrible
blow in the neck nearly seyering the
head from toe body.
THE LAST EFFORT.
But the effort was too much for him
and leaving the weapon sticking in the
wound, he pitched heavily forward on
his face. Every one supposed that this
blow would have instantly killed Nc.
cluskey but strange to say, it did not,
for so great was his vitality that before
falling he twice plunged his own knife
into the body of Anderson. The tale is
soon told. McClusky lived minute
longer than his antagonist. The dead
bodies firmly locked in each others EN-,
brace, were taken TO the house of Har-
ding and laid out side by side on the
gaming table. A crimson trail marked
the path of those who carried them in
doors, and pools of blood indicated the
scene of the late conflict.
There was no gaming that night.
the hunters and Indians appear ed TO
find excitement enough in talking over
the events of the day without having to
resort to their usual pastime. About
eleven o'clock the moon rose, and the
bodies were taken out for burial. There
were no funeral services, but Job Hard
ing remarked as the mufled forms were
lowered into the grave, There go two
as brave men as ever lived" They
We're buried deep to keep the wolves
and coyotes from digging th,m up, and
the earth was heaped up in little
mound to mark where they slept.
