Death on the Stage.

The Baltimore Sun describes an af-
fecting scene on the stage of the Holli-
day Street Theater in that city Friday
night. Mr.. John c. Ferris was playing
tho role of George Tallboys III Lady
Audley's Secret" He was with Lady
Audley at Il we'll when she assumes sud
den faintness and asks him to dip her
handkerchief in the water to cool her
brow. While he is in the act of com
plying she pushes him down the well,
the old wall falling on him. 1t was
during this scene that Mr.. Ferris was
stricken with paralysis. At the end of
his previous scene he had gone to the
stage manager, saying, "Oh, God what
is this coming over me? Is il death, or
what" At this moment his cue" was
given and he started for the stage, eX-
claiming. Watch me! | don't know
what 1 am SAYING" He endeavored to
get through the scene, but rs it proceed
ed he staggered about the stage like II
drunken man. The audience, suppos-
ing him to be intoxicated, began to
laugh and shout, while Miss Mortimer,
who was playing Lady Audley, endeav
ored to aid him 10y pushing him in the
well to consummate the action of the
scene. Mr. Ferris, in semi-conscious
state, took the handkerchief to dip it in
the well, and staggering up the stage,
was about to utter the last words of his
part, which were: This is the last ser
vice | shall ever render YOU when the
shouts and laughter of the audience
seemed to make him realize that they
thought him drunk. He turned slowly
to assure them that he was not, and
with great difficulty uttered the broken
sentence, " Ladies and gen .lc-mcn.
1 am" and staggering back grasped the
frame of the we'll, as the curtain was
dropped amidst shouts and jeers of the
audience. The sufferer was removed to
his hotel and in an hour was dead The
fact of his paralysis was announced be-
fore the theater closed, and the play
was finished without "Tallboys."

POETS PECULIARITIEs. Fenton was
a fat poet. whose habit it was to lie in
bed and be fed with spoon. He was
almost rs lazy as Thompson. Pope
says he died of Incidence. Wilkic, the
author of the "Epigoniad," loved not
only to lie in bed, but. if we may be-
lieve his biographcr. Anderson, to lie
under sixteen or seventeen pairs of
blankets. Pope was another poet with
queer habits. He was fretful and petu-
liant and expected that everything
should give way to his ease. If he felt
drowsy in company he would go to
sleep without ado, and once slumbered
ut his own table while the Prince CT
Wales was talking of poetry. When he
accepted an invitation to stop ut II
friends house he took ne servant. and
his wants were SO many that hall full
of servants might scarcely supply
them. His crrands were so frequent
and SO frivolous that the footmen in
time avoided and neglected him. The
maids, when they had neglected their
business. alleged they had been attend

he was sometimes parsimonious, and liz
charged by Johnson with "niggardly
reception of his friends and scantlness

guests in his house he would set at sup

Tho Human Voice by Telegraph.

A novel adaptation of tclegraphy has
been developed in Boston. 1t is II new
~ discovered process of telephony. or
of sending the voice or other sound IL
great distance, invented by Graham
Bell. naturalized American of Scottish
birth. In experiments mentioned by Bos-
ton journals. telephones of rubber of n
membranous character were placed ut
the eXtremities of common outdoor
telegraph wire in Boston and Cambridge
two miles apart, when articulate CONVEX
sation took place through the wire, the
sound being communicated quite loud
and Ineligible. the words being as
clearly heard at the distance of two
miles as if spoken through Il speaking
tube. A satirical writer in the Cincin-
natl Times. who is always making some
ludicrous remark about the loud voice
of the Ex-Governor of his State, says
that IF the human voice is thus trans
mitted by telegraph, Bill Allen should
be employed as head operator on the
line with China. "-CdW

The BATTLE-FIELD.- o man who has
experienced the horrors of war can
truthfully assert that he felt no fear
during an engagement. A battle is
veritable hell upon EARTH not to be i'll
serious apprehension while it lasts is TO
be either drunk, crazy or insensible.
The highest type of bravery is that of
the man who realizes the full extent of
his peril, but sticks resolutely to his
duty. 1t was my experience, and that
of all those about me, repeated dozen
times, that shell-fring is not nearly
so demoralizing as that of musketry. 1t
is not often that shells are thrown SO far
that their fragments scatter death and
wounds, and that their loud humming
overhead does not cause that nervous
tingling which always follows the sharp
zip of the ritie-bullet The peculiar
cutting of the air made by half II dozen
of these at once is apt to give the soldier
the idea that the whole air is filed with
them, and that he is certain to be struck
by one of them. The first sensation, on
being struck by bullet, is stunned =.
numb feeling, which for n long time
overpOwers the pain of the wound. Sol
diers have been frequently Frustrated
by spent balls. A curious effect of shell
wounds is that they do not bleed ; the
hot fragments sears the torn blood YES
sells and stops the etlusion. A minnie
ball extracted from the human body
presents remarkable sight. [ have
seen them where the resistance of the
flesh had turned back the pointed end
on all sides with such regularity that
the ball resembled a saucer or flower.

The BLESSINGS OF WoMAN's SOCIETY.
ALL men who avoid female society
have dull perceptions, and have gross
tastes, and revolt against what is pure.
Your club swaggerers, who are sucking
the butts of billiard-cues all night, call
female society insipid. Poetry IS unin-
spring to a yokel; beauty has no charms
for blind man; music does not please
a poor beast, who does not know one
tune from another; but, as true cpl
cure is hardly ever tired of water-cress
and brown bread and butter, L protest
can sit for whole night talking to a
well-regulated, kindly woman about her
daughter Fanny, or her son Frank, and
like the evenings entertainment. One
of the greatest benefits man can de-
rive from Il woman's society is that he
is bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is OF great good to your moral
men, depend upon it. Our education
makes us the most eminently selfish
men in the world, and the greatest ben
eft that we have is to think of some
body to whom we are bound to be con-
stantly attentive and respectful.

An Autumn Ride.

A ride Il ride,
The horses are paving before the door,
Up! up and away to the breezy moor;
We clatter adown the village street,
The guide wives deem our steeds are fleet
Right ncbly they bear US up the hill,
Before us the downs lie wide and still,
Where the purple heather is rich in bloom,
And the yellow gorse and the golden broom
The bramble is trailing across our track,
Its berries are turning from red TO black.
When summer and autumn, hand in hand,
Pour down rich gifts on the smiling land
What pleasure on earth can we compare
With ride DER the moors in a breezy air:
The skies above are clear and blue,
Look up, no cloudlet meets the view:
Around us all is bathcd in light,
The earth with richest. hues is bright,
Far OIL they melt in Silver haze
That wells the landscape from our gaze,
And spreads a soitness DER the scene
No painters touch could give, | ween;
such colorirg would his skill def,
For art with nature ne'er may vie.
When the sun is bright and the sky is clear
And the sweet birds are singing far and near
No pleasure on earth can we compare
With ride Ger the moors in the breezy air.

Where the robins love to mate;
On the grass, beneath their shadow,
Molly's waiting by the gate.

That which brings her father home.

" Working out mans common fate,
Often sees before his vision
Little Molly by the gate;
Who hath proved his strong defender,
Who doth hold him pure and true,

Budding mouth, and eyes of blue!

Holds allurements fair and new;
safe little child doth lead him
All the perilous pathway through.
