AN AWKWARD "oAToH."

A man named Gilsey-who, by
strict economy and severe industry,
had succeeded in getting his family
little place, free of .incumbrance-
was fishing in Still river, near the
Beaver brook mills, on a Sunday af-
ternoon. After sitting on the bank
for a couple of hours, without catch
ing anything, he was gratifed to see,
on fiat stone in the water, a snap
ping-turtle summing itself. The butt
end of the turtle was toward him, and
he thought he would capture it; but
while he was looking for place to
step, the turtle grayely turned with
out his knowledge, and when he got
in reaching distance, and bent down
to take hold of what nature designed
should be taken hold of while hand
ling a swapping turtle, that sociable
animal Just reached out and took hold
Of Mr.. Gilsey's hand with a grasp that
left no doubt of its sincerity. The
shrieks Of the unfortunate man aroused
some of the neighbors, but when they
arrived it was too late to be of any
benefit to him, or even to themselves
for they just caught glimpse Of
bearhoaded man tearing over the hill
swinging small carpet-bag in on
hand, and they at once conclude
, that it was narrow escape from higl
way robbery. However, it was nc
t a carpet-bag he was swinging--it WI

now SHE SAWS WOOD.

n II .
Did you ever see o woman under
take to saw wood2 1t is always
little while before dinner, When til,
lpies won't bake, and the potatoes
absolutely refuse to come to the
| boiling point, and the only stick oi
wood is exactly three inches too long.
After vain attempts to prove the
elasticity Of matter by putting q two
foot three inch stick into two-foot
stove, she goes out to the saw-horse,
puts her knee on the refractory stick
in the way she has seen men do.
But the edges Of the wood are sharp,
and she takes it down with an ejacu-
lation, and with a growing disregard
for appearances puts her foot on it
instead. Her hair-neyer fails to come
down at this juncture, and she has
to stop to twist it into a hard knot
behind, before beginning to saw.
Here the saw commences a frantic
jumping and skipping on its own ac-
count, and the whole femenine mind
being contracted on keeping up the
foot that should be down, until in an
unlucky moment the center of gravi-
ty is lost, the stick flies up and
launches blow at her nose just as
somebody is going by. She stops
and pretends to be looking for some
thing, while dark thoughts of divorce
and separation fash through her
mind, and she VOWS in her innocent
soul that she will never attempt to
saw wood again if there is never any
dinner. But her pride and her
dinner are at stake, and all her
native obstinacy comes to the surface;
she will conquer that stick or die.
Fired by new fury she succeeds in
saving two-t thirds of the way through,
and breaking off the rest-it is rot
ten rail-she goes into the house to
find the potatoes boiled dry, and the
pie in state of sodden uncertainty.
The children come home from school
and the husband from his shop, ana
finds kind of hushed solemnity in.
in the air, and no pie for dinner.
The meridianal meal was eaten in
silence and bitterness of heart, and
then the wife Of his bosom inquiries
if she is expected to take care Of the
stable and feed the pigs, as well as
saw wood? The man says, Chang it

A FATAL ,FADIILIAR.


In Jersey City, according to the
Journal there is physician who has
won considerable fame from the sue
cessful cures he has made both in
medicine and surgery. For some
years past, the doctor says, whenever
one OF his patients dies, no matter
where he is, what time, day or night,
a small white butterfly comes direosly
to him, and fits about until it has at
tracted his notice, when it departs.
The moment the doctor sees the little
winged messenger of death, he is at
once made aware of the demise Of pa
tient; and if at night the notice comes
to him, he invariably remains in lfs
Office in the morning iR-order TO give
a certificate of death. The FIRST time
the doctor ever saw this butterfly was
a few years ago, while he was looking
at the body of q dead child, which
was very dear to him, and the butter
fly alighted on the breast of the child,
and there remained, slowly raising it's
wings up and down, until the body
was closed up in its little coffin A
few evenings since, while the doctor
was attending patient in Clark
place, the butterfly entered the win
dow, and commenced fitting about
the doctors head he looked up at it,
and one OF the ladies in the room,
thinking it annoyed him, said "Oh,
leaveitalone; it WILSON burnits wings
by the blaze ofthe gas" "No it WON'T"
said the doctor; "it has come on a
mission, and will soon disappear. /
have just lost a patient, and in the
evening shall be called upon for a
certificate of death" Sure enough,
the next morning, the father OF the
child that had died the night before
called upon the doctor, and notified
him Of the loss of his little one. This
is only one of many instances where
the doctor has received this strange
visitation, and kept a record of the
circumstances besides that of calling
the attention of those present to the
fact Of the butterfly warning Of death
among his PATIENTS

EULoGY ON GENERAL LEE. "A writer
inthe Edinburgh ReUie,O, who presents
q most beautifully written eulogy Of
the late Robert e. Lee, the great
leader of the armies of the Southern
Confederacy, concludes as follows
$50 passed away the great victim oi
the civil war. Even in the farthest
North, where he had once been exc
Grated as the worst enemy of the
Union, the tidings caused a thrill OF
regret. But though America has
learned to pardon, she has yet to at
tain the full reconciliation for which
the dead here would have sacrificed
hundred lives. Time can only
bring this to a, land which in her
agony bled at every pore. Time,
the healer of all wounds, will bring
it yet. The day will come when the
evil passions of the great civil strife
will sleep in oblivion, and North and
South do- justice to each others
motives, and forget each others
wrongs. Then history will speak in
clear voice of the deeds on either
side, and the citizens of the whole
Union do justice to the memories OF
the dead, and place above all others
the name of the great chief Of whom
we have written. In strategy mighty,
in battle terrible, in adversely as in
prosperity a hero indeed, with the
simple devotion to duty and the rare
purity of the ideal Christian knight.

leader" -..-.- -.---L Lln-l l
