WHAT IT IS TO BE A WID owl think it

such thing myself D my girllsh times. DO
YOU know, girls, what 1t Is to be widow! 1t
Is 10 be ten times more open TO CRITICISM than
any demoiselle possibly could be- 1t is to have
men gaze as you pass, first at your black dress,
aud then at your widow cap, until your SEN
stire nerves quver under the lDtlctlon. Ii Is
to lave one ill-natured person say, Il wonder
how long she will wait before she marries
again? and another answer. ''until she gets a
good chance, suppose. 1t is now aud then
10 meet the glance Of real sympathy. generally
from the poorest and most humble women you
meet, aud feel your eyes fill at token that IS
50 rare, that is so unlocked for. 1t is to have
YOUR dear fashionable friends console you after
the following fashion "Oh. well, it is dread
tu loss; we know you tell it, dear" And in
the mex breath, You will be sure to marry
again, and your widow cap is very becoming
to you But it is more than This 10 be Wild
ow 1t is to miss the strong arm you have
leaned upon, the true faith which you knew
could never fail you, though all the world
might forsake you. 1t is to miss the dear voice
that uttered your name with a tenderness that
none other c., uld give it. 1t is to hear no more
the well-kuowu tootstep that you flew to meet.
TO see no more the face that to your adjoining
eyes seemed as the face of the. angels of Gcd.
To leel no more the twiuing arms that folded
sou so lovingly; the dear eyes that, looking
iuto your owD, said plainly, whatever it seemed
to others, yours was the tairest face earth held
f,r him. 1t is TO fight with mighty sorrow
as man fights with the waves that overwhelm
him, and TO hold at arm's length for awhile,
ouly to have-in the hours Of loneliness and
w,akneSs-he storm roll over you, while
poor storm driven dove-you see 10 haven.

IMAGINATION The Troy Times relates the
following which may strike the reader as the
effects Of the Imagination of the boy-or OF the
writer:
"a lad named Cummings fell from car at
Whueha Wednesday, and the train passed
over bis arm, severing it. The lad, with great
presence of mind, lay still until the train had
passed, and thus escaped further injury: When
the lad was taken home his arm was brought
after him. 1t was thrown into pail when
the poor little fellow screamed with pain. The
severed limb was then placed iu box and
buried in the garden. Shortly after ne SAID
that something was crawling on the inside OF
the hand A large jar was then obtained, and
it became necessary TO crowd the arm 10, when
the sufferer fairly went into paroxysms of PAIN.
The limb was placed in a jar partly filled with
alcohol, and then replaced iu the ground. The
little fellow omplained that his arm and 6ng:
ers were in terribly cranlped position, and
that the little finger aud the next one were
growing together. The jar was then taken up
when the limb was found crowded and cramped
as described. The boy knew nothing Of the
disposition of his arm
