MICHIGAN ROSE.

Two little boys of the street picked
up a bunch of Michigan roses, defaced,
bruised, trodden Oh, soiled with dust
stains. Some country girl had dropped
them from her bosom, for they were
from distance, and not seen in any
of the florists shops. To the children
they were a miracle of brightness, a
revelation of another world, and they
stood together on the street as the
crowd :surged by, earnestly and intent.
~ examining the cluster of seven
small pink roses and bud.
A girl passed by and attracted by the
eager and interested look on the chill
dren's faces, stopped to inquire what
they were talking about.
"What is this? It's a bunch of
Michigan roses" said the girl, with a
twinkle in her eyes; s'and it grows
tall, away up to the sky. and all the
bush is like this cluster pink, with
yards and yards Of flowers.''
"Sweet Michigan said both boys in
the same breath, as the girl went on
her way, but from that day forth, as
the quest of the Holy Grail possessed
Sir Galahad, so the search after Sweet

A Remarkable Case OF Trance,

A very extraordinary case of sus.
pendent animation was revealed at
No 137 Delaney street, New York a
few days ago. The victim of it is a
Swedish girl, aged p. named Anna
Froben. She was taken suddenly,
while at work, with a stroke of what
was called paralysis, and fell derd to
the floor. The alarmed family called
in a physician, Dr. Lindenborn, who
examined the body and pronounced
the girl dead. Her relatives were sent
for, and brother soon arrived. By
this time the girls face had turned
blue. and there was every evidence
that she was a corpse. But to every
body's establishment, the brother de-
clined to believe it, and declared that
she was only in trance and had been
subject to such fits for many years.
The friends of the girl were indignant
at this statement, and sent forthwith
for an undertaken to prepare the body
for interment. The man of cofins and
shrouds arrived and joined with the
physician in pronouncing the girl to
be dead beyond possibility of doubt.
lie proved it by dropping hot sealing
wax upon the breast, and as the body
gave no sign Of life it was concluded
that tho undertaken was right, The
body was placed on ice for the night.
In the morning the undertaken re-
turned to complete his preparations,
when to his horror the girl suddenly
started up and exclaimed 81 am so
cold, "a natural result of being on
ice all night. She was taken to a fire
and in short time was able to con-
verse. She said her brother was right
and once before she had been laid out
for burial. The physician was recall
ed and pronounced the case very
remarkable one.

The opening Of the fan covering the
breast signifies, be discreet. The end
placed upon the lips imposes an imme-
diate silence. The woman that fans
herself upwards is tyrant from whom
you must guard yourself. Tanning
downwards means that the person is an
unmarried lady. If the fan reaches the
breast and tars it lightly, it is an invi-
tation to counting. The fan presented
by the little end implies indifference,
but three compartments opened say: II
love you.' Two compartments opened
mean q lively sympathy; one signifies
only friendship." Augustus opened his
umbrella and replied that that was q
