A Train Runs OFF with Wife While

Accidents will happen" and
one of peculiar nature recently
happened to Mr.. james IL. Jones
and his charming wife (known on
the stage us Miss Rosa Temple) }
Both are now conpected with the
"Evangeline' company, but were
formerly with Mrs. Oates COM

marriage of Mr.. Jones to Miss
Temple the company was on its
way to Denver, Cal. just as the
train reached the grand locality
of"Devils Gate" it slacllened, and
"Jim" standing ou the rear plat
form observed some beautiful flow
ers growing by the side of the
road.
Here was an opportunity to dis
play affection and sentiment nj
once and the same time. Jim
determined to pick some of the
fair gifts OF nature rs gift for his
fair spouse. Just rs a glowing
handful had becu gathered, the
train started onward at Il rapid
rate. Jim did likewise, but q
long tres lie bridge interposed be-
tween him and the convcyances
Not even the agile Jones could
make railroad time across such &
patch, and amid yells of dispair he
saw the train and his wife vanisl

Does a Bird Die a Natural Death?

1t is the opinion OF some natur-
alists that birds never died what
is termed a natural death, but
como to their end by some murder
Gus or accidental means; yes l
have found sparrows and vireos in
the field and woods dead or dying,
that bore no marks of violence; and
l remember that once in my child
hood red-bird fell down in the
yard completely exhausted and
was brought in by girl; its bright
scarlet image idelibly stamped
upon my recollection. 1t is not
known that birds have any dis
tempers like the domestic fowls,
but | saw Il social sparrow one
day quite disabled by some curious
malady, that suggested n disease
that sometimes attacks poultry;
one eye was nearly put out by a
large scrofulous look ing sore, and
on the last Joint of one wing there
was a large humorous or fungus
growth that crippled the bird
completely. On another occasion
picked up one tnat appeared
we'll but could not keep its centre
of gravity when In flight, and 80
fell to the ground.
One reason why dead birds and
animals are so rarely found is that
on the approach Of death their in.
stinct prompts them to creep un-
der some cover where they would
be the least liable to fall Il prey
to their natural enemies. 1t i,
doubtful if any of the game birds
like the pigeon and grouse, evel
die Of old age, or the semi-gamc
birds, like the bobolinll Or the "cen
tury-living" crow; but in what
form can death overtakc the hum
ming bird or even the swift ant
barn swallow? Such are true
birds of the air;they NAV occasion
ally lost at sea during their migra
tions, but so far as l know, they
are not preycd upon by any Other
Species

Young Widows.

Dr. Austin Flint, of this city, an eminent
physician and excellent gen,l"men, has writ
ten an elaborate essay on lie importance Of
having trained aud skilled nurses for the sick.
We f lily agree with the learned Doctor. IL
is important But where. outside Of hospitals,
are such nurses TO lie found?
They car only be obtained by teaching
wives and mothers-nOt the aged but Young
women-to be nurses. And i; should be part
OF the eLEca'ion in all our fashionable semi
naries There is not a Professor in one Of
them whose instruction Is so important to the
comfort and longevity of the race as what
one "old granny" knows
There Is many a young widow wearing her
weeds, WHO might be dressed in colors, to-
day, If she had only known how to take care
of her husband when illness overlook aim
This nursing is matter, no, Of policy and
convenience, but Of life and death And yet
while young women must thrum-we believe
that is The phrase-pianos, if not I'LL the crack
Of doom, I'LL we should think it wCuld crack
il is not deemed worth while to teach them
how TO keep drinks cool for parched and
fevered lips, aud how to change and place
pillow so as To make il seem to those weary
with illness almost like the rest OF heaven.
And so husbands, who might have lived
died; and young widows abound but, then
yon know, to some black is more becoming
than colors.-N T. Ledger.
We do not know how i, is up North, but
all over the South there are tender, careful,
vlgilant nurses, lacking the skill. Of expert
enced hospital nurses it is true, but making
up for this by their gentle kindness and wo-
manly affection. who appear like ministering
angels in every household blessed with their
presence; and we believe they are TO be
found wherever lovely. woman graces the
earth with her presence. The trouble is,
that, while men are in goodheal,h and in
search Of pleasure, they are ailured into the
society of the gay butterflies of ia hion; end +,
the consequence is, that, wien they f al sick,
they find themselves in a sad plight, neglected
by the butter flies as they neglected the Abb
gaies while in health.
