THE MYSTERY SoLyED.-Henry Hol-
brook, young merchant, having gotten
through work earlier than usual, took the
opportunity to pay visit to Almira Som
ers, to whom he had recently engaged
himself, and was soon to be married.
To his chagrin, he found Almra unu-
sually silent and constrained in her man
ners. She kept her mouth firmly closed,
and spoke only in monosyllables, so that
Henry was obliged to converse chiefly
with her mother. After sitting while
and struggling Intellectually to conceal the
modification he felt, it having been his
expectation to pass pleasant evening,
he arose and bade them good night.
Mrs. Somers, who was blunt woman
and not oyer-refned, followed him to the
door, and as he was about to bid her good
night, she said : You must excuse Al
mira's not saying much tonight. You
see, she didn't expect anybody in tonight
and so she had some onions for supper.
She was dreadful afraid you'd find it out,
and that's the reason she kept her mouth
shut"
Henry felt relieved at once, and we are
happy to add he found Almira social
enough when he next visited her.

whole secured behind in bunch with n

pressed themselves well pleased with the
manner in which the party was conduct

light, such as "Red hot, you bet, !" "Ain't

A CHURCH THAT BEGAN IN A Doc
FIGHT.-The true origin of one of the
New Haven churches is perhaps unknown
even to many of the present worshipers
within its beautiful gates. Not to put
too fine point upon it," it began " a
dog fight. As a young man (whom it
will be sufficient to describe as being at
present the surgeon of the United States
Marine Hospital at Puget Sound) was on
his way to church one Sunday morning,
about eight years ago, a couple of vaga-
bond ours fell out directly in his path.
1t was in a part of the city where Bibles,
and Sundays, and sanctuary privileges
were sparsely enjoyed, for in lesss than
five minutes from the first grapple of the
com batants no fewer than twenty-eight
children had gathered to act as umpires.
The surgeon -to-be at once decided that
then was the time and that the place for
a mission school on which his heart had
long been set. The shop in front of
which the fight took place happened to be
that of a rag-picker, and after some diff
culties the loft above it was secured for
two years at moderate rent, the rags
swept out, benches furnished by the old
Center Church, and the Sunday School
opened with eighty at its first session.
The numbers and interest constantly in
creased from month to month, until, to
make a long story short, this school of
street Arabs has now become the strong
West Church, with its stately edifce of
stone and sterling membership Christ

A NEAT LITTLE JoB.-A neat little
speculation, without hurting anybo dy,
was got away with last Fall, by young
man living less than q thousand miles
from here. He had got hold Of the circu-
lar of an Eastern advertising agency.
For stated price they would insert an
advertisement Of stated limits in about 200
papers. He thought the matter over,
and finally settled upon plan. He sent
on to the agency the price and an adver-
tisement for wonderful wheat, " The
California Royal" He next wrote to II
friend in California, asking him to send a
sack of the finest looking wheat that could
be procured. The wheat came on in time
and our seed man went actively to work
making small sacks, for mailing. He
was none too active-for the orders came
in from all parts of the country, accompa-
nicd by the currency in every case. He
did good business for several months,
and was obliged to duplicate his orders
on his friend in California. And he re-
ceived numerous letters from the East,
expressing the delight of the purchasers
with the appearance of the wheat. And
wa doubt not, all will be entirely pleased
and well repaid-though our friend did
it mostly as a mattar of curiosity to SEQ
what could be accomplished by advertis-
ing.-Bdttie Mountain (Nep.) Measure

GREENLAND GLACIERs.-Some of the
Greenland glaciers attain vast size. DR..
Kane reports the Humboldt glacier as six
miles wide at its termination. Its sea-
ward face rises abruptly from the crater
to height of 300 feet, but it is not known
how deep it may extend under the sea.
Another important ice stream is the gla-
cier of Eisblink, on the northwest part Of
the island. 1t projects seaward, SO as to
form promontory thirteen miles in
length. 1t comes from an unknown dis
tance in the interior and plunges deeply
into the sea.-Popular Science Monthly.

Congestion of the Lungs.

WAUPAcA, Wisconsin.
DEAR R:-Late in April, my father, who
is seventy-two years of age, and has been a
practicing physician most of his life, was
seized with inflammation of the liver, follow ed
by congestion of the right lung, the attack
being return of one from which he was just
recovering.
The disease finally eliminated in what our
physician called "catarrh of the lung" and
which others have called "bronchial affec-
ton"
For more than three months father has been
troubled with a severe cough, which gave him
no rest night or day.
The doctor having exhausted all remedies
without any effect, we commenced to use Eel.
lows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites
the 22d of August, at which time the expec-
toration was very copious, very tough, (occa-
sionally of the nature of matter) and gener-
ally a brick color.
Since that time It has entirely changed it's
nature, the color is quite light, with no mix
ture of blood, and is only about a third as
much in quantity.
The swelling in his limbs which has troubled
him for about three months, has nearly disap-
pearcd, and he is fast recovering.
Yours respectfully, S. 4. MARSH.

FOUND DEAD.

"A LIFE OF sECLUsIoN AND MYsrERg ENDED =
DEATH FROM EXHAUSTION AND EXPOS sc.
We are under obligations to Daniel Stick.
ney, Esq, editor Of the Pressure Isle Sunrise,
Scr advance sheets of an extra which con-
tains the following account of a mysterious
person who lived life of ssclusion in that
! vicinity, and who persisted from exhaustion
and exposure on the night of December 3lst
and whose body was found the following
| morning -
1sThis afternooa about four o'clock, the
body of a man. known here by the name of
Edmunds, was brought TO this village having
| manifesuy persisted from exhaustion and ex-
posure during the previous night. He has
| led for some years secluded life in the
| woods some ten miles from this village in
Chapman plantation. His body was found
| about sunrise by lumberman, in the snow
dead but not entirely cold. lie was first
known in this village three or four years ago
| stopped some weeks at the hotel, then trav-
eled about always carrying an umbrella. He
attended public worship habitually, and we
have an indefite recollection that he once or
twice made an appointment to lecture, but
| upon what subject we have forgotten. We
are told that soon after lie came here he was
in receipt of large amount of some kind Of
freight in boxes-several tons; and that he
has sold ready made clothing.
Since he has lived in Capman he often
| visited this village, and he frequently called
at our office and brought copies of the Sun
| rise, was here yesterday and bought our last
! three numbers, appearing weak and very
! much exhausted, trembling, apparently from
! weakness He was seen near night on his
way home, slowly walking along as if tired.
He probably sank down fron inability to go
further and died within half mile OF his
| camp, where he was found. His appearance
was always very singular, quiet and inoffen-
sive, making but little conversation with any
one We are told he has said that he was
once trader ia Calais; to others that he was
once a carpenter in Iiallowell, and to others
that he came here from Massachusetts,. lie
has received since he has been in this vicinity,
two or three letters through the post-otfice,
apparently written by some person or persons
who knew how to direct letters We are in
formed that he was unwilling that any one
should visit the camp in which he lived.
1t is also said that he always had money to
pay for what he purchased at the stores, and
was seen to have money yesterday. When
found he had small bottle in his pocket in
which was a little gin, but he was regarded
by all as being strictly temperate man. He
was apparently about fifty years of age.
His body was tax 10 charge by the au-
thorites OF The town, and will be buried to-
morrow, and We are told that a responsible
man has been sent to take charge of his ef-
effects at his secluded home"
