Vague Feminine Chronology.

Miss Corisande was borne only two
years earlier than her brother Tom.
When Tom was ten years old she
gloried because she was twelve. When
Tom was known to be fourteen she
confessed to sweet sixteen. When
Tom proudly boosted of eighteen, she
timidly acknowledged herself past nine
teen. When he came home from col
lege, with a mustache and a vote, and
had a party in honor Of his twenty
first birthday, she said to her friends,
What a boyish fellow he is; who
would think he is only a year younger
than II" And when Tom declared he
was twenty-five years and old enough
to get married, she said to a gentle
man friend, do you know, 1 feel saw
agely jealous to think of Tom getting
married. But tlen L suppose twins
are always more attached to each other
than other brothers and sisters" And
two years later, at Toms wedding she
said with g%irlish vivacity to the we'd
ding guests, "Dear old Tom, to see
him married tonight and then think
how, WHEN he was only five years old,
they brought him in to see me, his
baby sister; l wonder if he thinks of it
Tonight" You have met Miss Cor
isande, probably. She lives in your
town.

They had been married about three
months. The boy from the store ap-
peared with a note from her husband.
She clutched the precious missive with
an eager hand, tremblingly opened it,
and read
Dear wife: Send me a pocket-hand-
kerchiaf. John.
She went slowly to the drawer to get
the desired article, and while looking
for it she came acioss the following
note. dated two weeks after the we'd
ding:
Sunlight of my soul: You will have
to send me u handkerchief. Your
bewitching eyes so turned my head this
morning that I forgot to take one with
me, for which l shall kiss the sweet
face of my own Il thousand times when
l come home tonight. In two hours
and twenty minutes 1t will be II
o'clock, and then 1 can come to my
beautiful rose. l long to fly to you. A
Thousand kisses l send thee, my fairy
wife. Yours tenderly, John.
She sighed, gave the boy the hand
kerchief,' and sighed again. Danbury

A Mistaken Diagnosis.

Yesterday, just as the sun had fairly
settled himself in the meridian heav-
ems and fixed up for a good u down
to the Pacific slope, a solitary footman
wendell his way up Mechanic street
toward Center. While crossing one of
the intersecting streets the traveller
was noticed to stagger, but, regaining
his equilibrium, he moved onward, all
unconscious of the interest that was
centering itself in his welfare. He
had hardly progressed the distance of
half a block when he reeled, staggered
aud fell to the pavement. A large and
deeply interested concourse Of anxious
spectators soon gathered about the
PROSTATE form of the unfortunate man,
and with one accord the multitude pro-
claimed his malady to be a clear case of
sun stroke. A solid wall of mortality
was formed around the spot where the
victim Of the SUMS fierce rays had fall
en-. Not a breath Of air could pene-
trate the ramparts thus constructed,
and not a zephyr that floated over the
heads of that highly edited assembly
deigued to cast a plying glance upon
the pallid face of the sufferer. By and
by others came to ascertain the cause
Of the unexpected gathering, and
among them an old man with a huge
prohosas and powerfully developed
olfactory organs. He asked what was
the matter with the afflicted man, and
was told that he was suffering from
sunstroke. He raised his nasal tube
to the proper elevation and scented the
air and then said: "Gentlemen. O
are mistaken in your diagnosis. This
thing touching his nosel has never de-
ceived me, and I make bold to assert
that John Barleycorn is at the bottom
of this trouble. Whether it is a fresh
case or the continuation of an old spree
I am unable to say; but that he is
drunk 1 will wager one of the prettiest
sloops that ever glided over the waters
of yonder bay against a pint:of picked
peppers" An old tar who was pre-
sent looked up into the venerable Wis
age of the speaker and said, Governor,
your head is level yet" and then they
moved the sick man into the shade.

under tho effect of that "blankct

all his real estate, much trouble has
ensued. The lands have been with
drawn from market, and those who
purchased on time are querying
about their title. In some of the
towns it produced almost an entire
change of location, purchasers having
been forced to buy in other quarters.
An agreement has recently been made
by all parties concerned, by which
these lands may be sold. 1t is pro.

The State Temperance Convention
yesterday recanted its extreme action
of the day before, and made its plat
form read so as not to contain a de-
mand and threat upon the Republic
can party. The resolution declaring
that the Republican party must choose
total prohibitionists for all its candi-
dates on the State Ticket, or else see
a full Temperance State Ticket put in
the field, was rescinded, leaving the
platform in a rather sensible and un-
Objectionable shape. Our report of
