A Reptile In Young Lady's Stomach.

There is young lady living within a
mile and quarter Of Christiana who for
four years past has been suffering with
violent fainting spells, that came on peri
odically, and are produced by the stran-
Cling caused by some kind of reptile
which comes up into her throat. She is
choked to such an extent that her muscles
become rigid--her extremities cold, the
pupils of her eyes dilated, and the skin
breaks on her hands and face, and she is
in all other particulars thoroughly con-
vulsed. She Is only relieved by the
reptile itself, being. as it is thought, par.
tally choked, Withdrawing into the
stomach.
The reptile has at various times been
seen by different persons. On one occa-
sion Methodist preacher was visiting at
the home Of her parents when she was
seized with one of the usual attacks, and
the parasitical object even came out of her
mouth, and was grasped by the minister.
Being of very superstitious turn ofmind,
she had conceived the idea that Its death
was her death, and refused to have 1t re-
moved, although that could at that time
have been easily accomplished. The
minister avowed that the reptile felt a.
cold and clammy as any other snake, but
that It offered no particular resistance
when he clutched II with his hand. When

A Very nnsl.rmI Nnshnnd.

comment being made upon his singu-

comfortably in the parlors, and every
thing seemed to promise iavombly for
a cure OF his besetting weakness, when,
hearing the household monitor pro-
claim the hour of nine, he suddenly
seemed to remember that he had for
gotten something, and started for his
hat.
This was the moment and the event
that had been somewhat eNpectantly
awaited with indignation most pro-
found but under control by the brides
mother. Placing herself resolutely IN
the doorway, the old lady demanded
to know why and wherefore, what he
proposed to do, and whether he was Il

Light words.

Nothing Il fraught with more slgnili-
canoe than the interchange Of words
that are going on in the world indca-
tive of thought and expressive Of ideas,
or idle, careless and light as wisps be-
fore the wind.
Words, words everywhere, but 50 few
ideas among them People reflect lit
tie before speaking. Is it not strange
when, once spoken. not n word can be
recalled or bl0tted from existence!
Harsh, where gentleness were better
deserved; kind, where reproof were
but lust to honor, and thoughtless
where earnest consideration were nee
essary--this Is the way things work at
cross purposes, and the ends of ulti-
mate good to all are temporarily con-
founded.
There is so little earnestness and
singleness of purpose in the average
human heart that almost every one
drifts with circumstances, and thinks
and speaks from impulse, or speaks
without thinking.
There are times when light words
sink deep and pervert bad uses
that when might nave ncei given III
good cause Happy hearts are often
saddened, bright homes darkened and
sunny days made tedious aud lonely
by words which might never have been
spoken had but one sober thought in
tervened.
1t is so easy to make people happy
and so difficult to eradicate trouble and
drive away care, that light words that
convey discomfort ought almost to be
cause for criminal action.
If thief steals your clothes, furni-
ture or stock, the law affords redress;
but an addlebrained vender of gossip
can walk in and demolish your house
hold god of love and affection, leaving
the sacred fires smodering to ashes on
the hearth, and there is no help for
it.-[Elm Orlou.
