How She Became Green.

Mr.. Green was q good-looking man,
yery-he dressed well-was we'll posted
up in matters of business, and had the
reputation of being a smart man. But
Mr.. Green had lived thirty years with
out wife. 1t was not his fault, for he
was fond of the society of the fairer sex;
owned a fine house, which he rented for
his board, and there were plenty of mar
riageable ladies in the village.
How happened it then, that Mr.. Green
remained in a state of single blessed
ness? Want OF courage. Mr.. Green
was a coward among the ladies. True,
he could pick up lady's handkerchief,
hold a skein of yarn, or give his arm in
the politest manner to escort a lady
from church. He had seen at least half
a dozen women he would have married,
or who would have married him; but
he never could muster sufficient courage
to ask either of them whether she would
or not.
One evening he was visiting at the
Widow Smith's-Widow Smith--not
twenty-six years had flown over her
head, and yet she had been a widow
three years, and had long put off her
widows weeds. She was pretty, had
placed her only child beside her hus-
band in the graveyard, and sighed for
companion; and many a time had she
remarked to her friends she wondered
why Mr.. Green did not get married.
He was an occasional caller at the house,
and would have married her at an hours
notice. But she did not know it. He
had never whispered to her of love.
He could talk about the crops, the
growth of the village, the industry of
the young men, and all other matters
which the widow did not care to hear
about, but the zone thing" which
would have struck her ear as the sweet
est of sounds, he never mentioned.
One eventful evening the widow was
excessively annoyed by her domestics.
Hardly was Mr.. Green seated, when
Bridget made her appearance at the
door,
''Miss Smith, if it place you," said
the domestic, twill you look into the
kitchen for a minute?"
Scarcely had Mrs. Smith returned,
when the bushy head of John, the hired
man, was thrust into the door, with:
"Mrs. Smith"
'How 1 hate the name of Smith,
said the lady.
Mr.. Green's eyes dilated for moment
he opened his mouth and exclaimed
in hurried accents:
"Make it Green, ma'am-make it
Green!"
And in less than month there was NO
"Widow Smith" in the village.

Death from Eating Toad Stools.

community, says Darien, Conn,
letter, has been in a state of excitement,
occasioned by the sudden death of a
well known and respectable lady, long a
resident of the town. The circumstan-
ces of the case are as follows:-On Sun
day morning last Mr.. Albert Brush, a
lawyer practicing in Norwalk, son of
Mr.. A. @. Brush, and Miss Lille Brush,
his sister, went into tract of wood,
near Noroton depot, to gather mush-
rooms. Their object in this was to
present rare treat to their father on
his return from church. They obtained
a peck basket full of what they suppos-
ed were mushrooms, but which proved
to be toadstools-a deadly poison when
taken into the stomach. They returned
home very happy in their success; had
the mushrooms dressed, and Mrs. Brush
cooked them with great skill. Mr.. Brush
came from church at one o'clock, and at
once the family sat down to dinner. Mr..
and Mrs Brush and their son ate hearth
ly of the mushrooms. The daughter
simply tasted, but did not swallow any
of them. During the afternoon more
than once the conversation turned upon
the delightful meal they had enjoyed,
and how thankful they should feel that
children could exercise SO much fore
thought in behalf of their parents. AT
one o'clock Monday morning the three
who had eaten of the mushrooms were
taken deathly sick. Each arose and be-
gan vomiting, at the same time suffer
ing excruciating pains in the stomach.
Medical aid was called, but little could
be done to alleviate Mrs. Brush, being
in delicate health, was completed pros.
trated. A counsel of physicians was
called, but it was of no use. She lin.
gered until the afternoon of Monday
'and then died. No post-mortem was
held. The physicians were in attend.
ance, and have been persistently atten.
tive to the wants of the survivors. The
son is yet q great sufferer, and doubts
are expressed as to his recovery. The
fathers condition is little, if any, i'm
proved, and only by the greatest care
can he be restored. The poisoning is
subject of general conversation, the diff
ference between mushrooms and toaG
stools never having been brought il
question before.

Disease RecoiIs

Prom the system that has been invigorated and
regulated by a course Of that most benefcent
all elixirs, Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Such, at
least is the inference we are compelled to draw
from the testimony Of thousands Of persons resid-
ing in unhealthy districts, who attribute their
escape from the epidemic and other complaints
which prevail there in the spring and autumn
solely to the use Of this great protective and pre-
venttve medicine. Many western and southern
farmers and planters, as invariably as they SOW
and plant in the spring and reap and gather in the
fall administer it at those seasons to their families
and employees, and take it themselves three times
day The demand for it in the fever and ague
districts bordering on the Mississippi, Ohio and
Arkansas Rivers is immense; and wherever the
natural conditions are such as to generate inter
mittent remittent fevers it is held in the high
est esteem, both as antldote to the atmospheric
virus which provokes them, and as swift and
certain remedy for those distressing forms Of
ease. 1t is almost unnecessary to say that this
renowned tonic and renovator is now generally
accepted as a standard specific for indigestion,
biousness, nervous dstemper, rheum atism, ply ST.
cal weakness and mental dependency, not only
by the public at large, but by all unprejudiced
medical men. The vast popularity of the Bitters
has Of course led to many counterfeits and imita-
tions, against which the community are requested
to be on their guard.

A Western Arrest.

In the Des Moines Qowa) Leader we
find the particulars of terrible combat
between the Sheriff and one of the no.
torious Iowa railroad robbers. He had
jumped from train on the Burlington
and Cedar Rapids Railroad, and the
Sheriff followed in pursuit, both being
on horseback. The robber, after riding
hard for about ten or twelve miles,
jumped from his horse and demanded
the wants of the officer, at the same
time pulling out huge revolver from
his pocket. The Sheriff did not stop to
explain. He drew heavy loaded re-
volver and opened fire at once. The
scene must have been an interesting
one. 1t was battle for life.. Shots
were exchanged in rapid succession,
until each had emptied his revolver.
The Sheriff received shot in one leg
and one in his left arm. But, in turn,
he inflicted Ghree effective shots upon
his antagonist--one striking the leg, an
other breaking his right arm, and a
third hitting him in the chest. The
stranger fell to the ground and suffered
great pain, and the Sheriff himself after
the fight became exhausted, but did not
lose his prisoner.

A Story by JOAQUIN Miller.

In Shasta County, California, some
years ago, the scurvy suddenly came
into mining camp and FRUSTRATED six
of the little company. They were very
likely to die, for the camp was a lonely
one, to which all food, medicines, and
supplies, of whatever kind, had to be
transported on the back of the miner,
and along rough path (which led
across a lofty snow-covered mountain
ridge. But one of the miners, who for
merly had followed the sea, recollected
that he had heard of a means of cure
not beyond their reach, and to make
trial of this was at once resolved upon.
Six deep pits, dug in the shadow of 2
huge pine, soon laid bare the warm al
luvial soil; in these the patients,
stripped to the skin, were placed, and
then the fresh earth was carefully shov-
eled back, so that each man was secure
ly buried up to his chin. In the fitful
moonlight they appeared to theirwatch-
ing comrades like men rising in resur-
rection to meet the judgment. What,
however, was the anti-scorbutic merit
of this mode of treatment, their COM
panions did not discover The sleep of
the miner, when his days toll is over,
is not so much sleep as stupor, and
soon after the last of the buried men
had dozed off, their friends also found
themselves drowsy; perhaps, too, they
were little frightened at the spectacle
before them-the six pale heads, with
their shocks of hair, the occasional flick
err of the moon in the blackness of the
night, whose stiffness was only broken
by the occasional bowling of the wolf,
or the faint rustic of the trees. For
whatever cause, they at all events
sought their beds and fell into sleep,
from which none woke till dawn. AT
that hour they went to visit their com
rades, and found thai the wolves had
come down and eaten off every one OF
the heads level with the ground.

The Isles Of Shoals.

About ten miles from Portsmouth, off
the coast of New Hampshire, lie clus-
tered together eight small islands, COM
prising only six hundred acles, and
bearing the name OF the Isles of Shoals.
More than two hundred years ago these
islands were famous for their fisheries,
and had a resident population of sew
eral hundred persons, who sent quanti-
ties of well-cured fish to Spain and the
West Indies. The town of Gosport, on
Star Island, had five hundred inhabi-
tants hundred years ago, and was rep
resented in the Legislature of New
Hampshire. Now, by the progress of
the age, the township is nearly depop-
ulated, and large hotel has been erect
ed for the accommodation of summer
visitors. On Appledore, formerly known
as Hog Island, there is also a hotel ca
pable of lodging five hundred guests.
These Isles of Shoals seem to be but
masses of jagged granite thrown up
from the depths of the sea. No trees
are seen, and scarcely shrub appears,
but tufts of grass spring up between
projecting rocks, and once in a while a
little grassy dell is found, overgrown
with wild flowers. A small harbor is
inclosed by these rocky crags, which
affords refuge for small vessels in
storms. Recently the Isles of Shoals
have become quite a famous summer
resort. To be sure, there are no beach
es for sea bathing, driving is an unat-
tainable pleasure, and for walks one
must expect to Chamber over rough
granite walks. But there is boating
and fishing, and, above all things, the
simple enjoyment of the delightfully."-
soft, warm, and equable climate, so free
from chilly winds. These barren isles
are full of romantic historic interest;
and visitors generally find it most rest
full to lie lazily upon the sunny rocks,
above the surging waves, watching the
changeful sea, and reading, or dream
ing of scenes long gone by-of early
navigators, of shipwrecks, of Indian
massacres, and wild romances of pots of
gold and silver found hidden in the
craggy lodges.

Very Sharp BOYS.

One of the most ingenious and daring
thefts on record was perpetrated short
time since at the village of Briefly Hill,
England. A lad entered the store of o
grocer of the place and bought roll of
bread, which he asked the man to stuff
down the back of his jacket, as his COM
panion outside would take it away from
him if he saw it. The grocer complied
with the apparently innocent request,
and having had his loaf placed in it's
original hiding place the boy left.
Hardly had he quilted the store when
another lad rushing in exclaimed: "Do
you know what that chap has done he
has prigged your watchl" The grocer
looked in horror, and saw his watch
chain dangling and his watch gone.
"There he goes " said his informant,
pointing to figure seen going down
the street; and the store-keeper imme-
diately rushed out in pursuit, leaving
the store unguarded. When he reached
the corner the supposed thief had van
ished, and returning to his store he
found that during his absence the in
former had emptied the till and gone
off with the money. The two thieves
have so far escaped capture.

Did not Like Ii.

A South Boston woman of wealth who
had run up a milliner's bill, when it
was presented, gave the money to her
husband to pay it, but he instead put
the money in his pocket, and gave a
forged receipt to his wife. After sew
eral months of waiting, the creditor
dunned the lady for her money, "Why,"
said she in surprise. "your bill is paid,
and [ have your receipt in my pocket. F"
Thus was the forgery discovered but
it is hardly necessary to state how that
woman whirled out of that shop and
went for that recreant husband she
" saw " him and the bill was paid be-

ALIENS LUNG BALsAM in curing the most deep

it's effects the Young and the old and can truly
say that it is by far the best expectorant remedy

the early stages Of Lung Complaints, believe it
to be certain cure, and If every family would
it by them, ready to administer upon the first APP
pearance of d sease about the Lungs, there would
be very few cases of fatal consumption. 1t causes
the phlegm and matter to raise without irritating

Mormon Tithes.

A dozen miles from the city of Salt
Lake, says a traveller, we approached
the marshes fringing the Great Salt
Lake. They are miles in extent, and
were covered with large herds of fat
cattle. These grazing herds are owned
by the Church of Latter Day Saints.
The real foundation Of this church is
its tithing system. Under this system
each saint turns over one-tenth of all
his earnings for the beneftof the church.
Many of the Mormons pay their tithes
in cattle. The church herd is said to
include over million head of stock.
1t is a source of never failing revenue,
for the beeves are of the choicest kind
and command the best prices. The
herders are appointed by the dignitaries
of the church, and the bishops keep
careful account of the stock.
