KisagOtnmi.
Kiragotami, clasping to her breast
Her boy just dead and with strange fear possessed
Ran through the streets, besieging every door
For some rare balm his lost life to restore;
Until her neighbors, at this frantic grief
For which the world itself has no relief,
Began to say: "The girl has lost her head
What medicine is that which cures the dead7"
But one more wise, and taking PHYS part,
offered this Eolace to her aching heart:
"DeAr girl, cannot proffer you much Joy,
But there's doctor who will help your boy"
Asking his name, the girl was straightway sent
To good GautAma, and to him she went.
"Good master, aid me, for hear 1t said
You have the power to raise my child that's dead.
The Buddha answered: 'If do this deed
'Tis needful you procure some mustArd-seed
Found In house where neither groom nor BRIDE
Parent nor child, nor man nor maid, has died"
Then, with her child stl claspcd about her waist,
From house TO house, weary round she paced
On her sad errand-but could cross no door
Where deaths dark shadow had not passed before.
One voice forever on her pathway few:
"The dead are many, but the living few"
So, when GautamA asked II she had brought
The mustard seed, so long and vainly sought,
She said: ~ have it not-eaeh way sped
l found but few were living, many dead"
And Buddha answered: 'True enough most true,
Death comes to all, as 1t has come to you"
SO fed her grief, and seeing in the night,
Al every house, bright or fading light
She said: "our human lives just the same,
First an uprising, then dying fame;
Never on earth will such mutations cease.
But after death come rest and endless peace"

WAS 1T A SHOWER OF FRoosf-In the
town of Coventry, the other day, road
was shoveled through snow from four to
six feet deep a distance of 40 rods, aud, the
next morning. the road was strewn with
frogs and lizards, there probably being two
bushels at least. 1t is mystery where
they came from. Ono theory Is that nest
where they were wlntering was stirred up.
Some, however, think there was a shower
of frogs the night before, as it rained quite
heavily. If the former theory is correct,
the reptiles must have been wintering in
the snow, as the workmen did not shovel
in any place 10 within foot OF the earth.
The occurrence presents question for the
curious 10 solve.

THE MAN WHO SWALLOWED A FORK
A Paris correspondent of the Times writes:
Some of my readers may remember Les
uer, Lhomme a la Jourchette, or the young
man who swallowed a fork, and they may
be glad TO hear further of this singular
case. Lesuer was at table with some COM
rades, who were conversing about the In
dian jugglers and their trick of swallow
ing a sword. Lesuer claimed that il was
very simple, and, TO prove his assertion,
took fork by the tines and pushed it
down his throat. A spasmodic contraction
of the organs took it from his fingers and
carried it down the passage into the stom-
ach. For long time efforts were made to
reach the fork by the mouth, but 1t was fl
nally ascertained TO be in the stomach and
Lesuer was given up for lost. He was
shown at clinical lectures, and then went
into the country. report came that he
was dead, and believe that published it
as fact. But as Lcsuer did not fail in
health, and continued strong and hearty
for over year, some of the doctors thought
that the fork could DO removed. Barron
Larrey and Drs. Liable, Lepere, and Prof.
G0sselin undertook the operation some
weeks ago. They began by burning slow
ly into the stomach with caustic, and de-
termining an adhesion of the coat of the
stomach with the outer edges Of the hole
thus made with tho corrosives. When the
adhesion was complete, an inclsion was
made in the stomach aud the fork drawn
out with forceps. 1t was as black as ink,
but not worn TO any extent. Lesuer is
now regarded out of danger II they de-
sired, the doctors might have here another
Alexis Saint Martin, upon whom DR.. Beau
mont made his valuable physiological ex-
periments, for by continuing the use of the
causlic passage into the stomach could be
kept open with little danger 10 the patient.

by distillation.
Catarrh in its extent and destructive force stands
next to Consumption and is closely allied to it for in
certain constitutions the transition from one to the
other is only question Of time. 1t is therefore a
singular thing that those afflicted with 1t should not
make 1t the object of their lives to rid themselves Of
1t. A single bottle Of any remedy cannot, in the
chronic stage effect even bring the system
under its Influence fully In many such cases the
bones and cartilage OF the eaten away, the
organs Of hearing Of SEEING and OF tasting SO affected
to be rendered useless the uyua so elongated and
inhamed as to produce = constant and distressing
cough. The return to health must necessarily be
slow, under the most favorable circumstances, when
seriously afflicted but as the evidence Of its great
value daily comes to hand, we become more and more
satisfied that there does not exist case Of catarrh
that be cured by judicous and persistent use
Of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE ron CATARnH. The

Teresa was the one TO break the silence.
She feared the peslilential breath that comes
with the chill blasts and heavy dews after
the burning heat Of The day might take ef-
feet on Lionel Merton. She noted lassi-
tude and feverishness, which he imputed to
his state of mind, and suddenly she ap-
pcared before him.
Signore, you must flee from hence or you
will die"
"And you will have killed me, Teresa"
"No; it is the poisonous mists OF the
Campagna."
"What brought me hither to breathe

1.-THE signore forgets that begged him not
to think of so rash a scheme" replied Te-
resa, evading the question. "For me who
am accustomed TO the changes it is safe !
for the signore 1t is death, and he must CO."
"Whither2"
'Back to Frascali, If he so wills ii or
better, perhaps, away from Italy"

life, my hope; and here can study art
and make myself home. Here l can be
happy, and yet you send me awayr'

fitted for his wife. Besides, my duty is to
my parents l must tend them until they
die."
"You leave them now2"
"Only for their benefit"
at would benefit them more il you were
my WIFE,"
But Teresa shook her head mOurnfully.
"Non e possible" she said, decidedly.
"Yet you love me, Teresaf"
Yes said she with emotion "but
must do my duty. l have made a vow not
to marry SO long as my parents live"
at is foolish VOW" said Lionel.

firmly. "Signore, you must go. Addio,

But as sho spoke sudden shlvering
seized her-the fever that she had dreaded
for Lionel had fallen upon herself
V.
Teresa had but few friends among the la
borers of the Campagna; but one woman
whom Lionel recognized as belonging to
Frascali, was willing enough to undertake
the office of nurse in consideration Of the
lavish payment for it, and to accompany
her home when she was out of danger.
Then Lionel tuERed his steps northward
seeking no interview, for he knew that Te-
resa was firm in her resolution, aud that II
would be an insult TO her piety aud her
sense Of flial duty TO attempt TO shake IT,

MRssRs. WEEKs POTTER:
Gentlemen,-Please allow to testify to the great

gel closed the old mans eyes, aud the
mourner carried him 10 his grave-soon to
be followed by the wife who had journeyed
with him through the world. Aud then
Teresa was left an orphan alone in the
world. Aud then Lionel once more said:
"Tercsa, you love me?"
And Teresa replied. as she had done be-
fore, "Yes." But tins time she added,

So he FASTENED away, hoping by constant
change and excitement TO drive her image
from his heart.
lie passed the frontiers, and then the cold
north winds began TO blow, and lie could
not face them. and Lionel Merton learned
that his only hope oflfe was indeed in TIA
ly. II seemed almost as though Fate were
bidding him return, aud so he passively
resigned himself and retraced by slow
stages the way to Frascati, delaying as lie
drew nearer and nearer TO it., and yet with
every intention Of seeing Teresa once
more.
lie took up his residence al the Inn again,
but saw nothing Of Teresa; neither did lie
hear OF her until upon making inquiries
from the innkeeper he found that immed-
ately upon her return from the Campagna
her parents had been taken i'll and were
now in the last stages of disease, and that
they were poorer then ever. But Lionel
shrank from intruding, although he and
the old Cecch bad been very friendly.
Still Teresa had a consciousness of his
presence in the constant supplies OF all
needed for the Sufferers at the hands of the
innkeeper, aud she did not refuse them, for
she was almost worn out with her vigil and
perhaps regarded this unexpected assist
ance as an answer TO her prayers, and
therefore not 10 he flung uugratefully

The emancipation of the serfs in Rus.
sia has resulted in great poverty among
their former owners. In the Transcau-
sian Government OF Kutais the Inst cen.
sus gives l05 mobiles to every 1000 of
the population, or in all 10000 of the
nobility, Of whom $4,000 are without
any means of support, the act of eman-
cipatlon having deprived them of the
greater part of their estates as we'll as
the ownership of the !aborers. The
Grand Duke Michael, the Governor of
the Province, has done all in his power
to relieve these titled proetarians by re.
laxing the rules concerning admission
into the army, and providing for the
military and general education of the
children. Naval academies are to be es-
tablished for this class in Poh and Sure
hum Kale, and the military gymnasia
are to be increased and enlarged.

Levi Leland.

This great and successful Temperance
Lecturer was born in New York city in
1918. Even from his boyhoOd he has ,le-
voted his best energies and life to the
noble cause of Temperance. He began
his career as public lecturer at an early
age-we believe at the age OF eighteen
and with what success thousands all over
our land can attest.
He has travelled in every State and
Territory-yes, nearly every cOunty,-of
the Union, with that untiring zeal in his
cause for which he is so distinguished.
Surely it requires some great emergency
to make great men. Levi Leland, prob.
ably, would have been an unknown far
mer, or mechanic, almost unknown to the
world, had his surroundings in youth
been more pleasant but the Destroye,
entered the Leland home circle, and as
Levi saw his father upon his death bed,
and heard him say, "F0r Co.'s sake gire
me some acater, aCipe has 6e.A my foe." his
yeung heart was rent to the core, and
from that lime he has spoken those
words from the grave, as it were, to
