Austrian ten. gun brig Boarding the Comet
where she lay, in the Daro, Passage, Lieutcn-

pirates being slain ere the rest fled IN their

The Troy Times of Saturday evening" says
"a stOmacnic singuarity eliminated in an
upheaval last Saturday evening. Several
years ago Lena Crapo an amiabe, bright,
and worthy French girl, drank from the wa
ters of n babbling brook. During the draught
Lena felt a live lump distending her Tsopha-
gus, which she gulped down. From that date
her health was increasingly impaired with
an internal disturbance Two years since,
although then an invalid, she was employed
by the family of DIR. NJ. w. Campbell of this
city in the capacity OF waiting maid For
a time she was slightly servlceable, but her
difficulty soon became more aggravated, un.
til she was completely disabled. An ulcer in
the stomach was the hypothesis professional
ly put forth by the physicians whom Lena
consulted; but she always stoutly maintained
that a foreign substance was secrcted. Size
was a great sufferer, and almost daily expert
eDCed protractcd paroxysm of pam. For the
past four or five months however DR.. Camp
bell has used n gavanic battery, which great
ly mitigated Lena's sutierings, although her
general condition remained unimproved. In
ability to retain food was one OF the most I'M
pleasant characteristics OF the case. Only
certain dishes were favored with retention.
few weeks ago Lena was removed to the
residence OF Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, No II
Federal street Sunday evening she vomited
violently, and, feeling a substance rising in
her throat, she thrust her fingers down be-
tween the tonsis and seized the offending
lump which was trumphanlly captured. 1t
was submitted to the examination of Mrs.
Wilson and another lady present, who pro-
nOunced the Shiny lump to be dead frog.
Lena, with true French impulsiveness, viewed
the cJectcd substance for moment, and hur-
red it into the stove, foollshly preventing an
intelligent analysis of the aquatic carcass
Lena is now slowly improving, and able Ia
retain butter, sugar cream, juicy fruit and
! fat food, all of which her stomach has here

SlilurtDess,

\ man who isn't smart is simply a fail
ure in these days. In the language of Holy
writ, "'tN ere better for him If he were never
born"
The age is progressive one, and filled
with progressive Innovations. The business
man who carries on his business IN the old
fashioned way Of safe Investments, and II SURF
and legitimate return, IS a little behind the
times. Promises are better than cash, and
check Is considered quite as invaluable in
business transactions as II check. Success
commands admiration, and men ale always
ready to fawn upon the successful Noques
tons are asked how success was won, because
he has been successful. Success covers {
multitude of sins
Truth is not necessarily IA component par
of smartness." Truth is prOsaiC, hum-drum
oldfashioned \ lie pre-supposes a versatll,
Imagination and lively fancy. Truth is toe
commonplace and familiar.
Neither is morality an attribute OF smart
ness There are few in stances OF il acquired
and character maintained, but ii is not SAT,
To take these stray cases ms precedents.
requires also n degree of pluck 10 overcome
the natural sense Ot modesty and selfrespcct

ing, and a triumph of " snartness' to nil VI

ofthe founder of this kind of smartness, which

ADUTCH PICTURE.
ny HENRY LoNGFELLow.

simon DAM has come home again,
From cruising about with his buccaneers;
Ne has sinccd the heard OF the King OF Spain,
And carried away the Dean OF Jacn
And sold him in Algicrs.
In his house hy the Maesc, with its roof Of tile
And wcathelcocks lying aloft in the air.
There are silver tanhards OF antique styles,
Piunder of convent and castle, and piles
OF carpets rich and rare.
In his tulip.garden there by the town,
Overlooking the sluggish stream,
With his Moorish cap and drcssing.Sowh
The old sea Captain, hale and brown,
Walks in \ waking dream.
\ smile in his gray mustacbc turks St..
Whenever he thinks Of the hing OF spun
And the listed tulips look like lurks,
And the silent gardener as ne worhs
Is chan red to the Dean OF Jaen.
The windmills on the outermost
Verge of the lahdscape in the haze.
To him arc towers on the Spanish coast
With whiskercd senlinels at their posi-
Though this is the river Macsc
But when the winter rains begin.
he sits and smokes by the blazing brands
And old seafarng men come in,
Goat bearded, gray. and with donoic ca'h'
And rings upon their hands.
They cit there in the shadow and shine
OF the pickering fire OF the winter night
Figures in color and design
Like those of Rembrandt by the Rhine,
Half darkness and half light.
And they talk of their ventures lost or won,
And their talk is ever and ever the same,
While they drink the red wine OF Tarragon'
From the cellars OF some Spanish Don,
Or convent set on flame.
Restless at times with heavy strides
He PAGES his parlor to and fro;
lie is like ship that at anchor rides,
And swings with the rising aud falling tides.
And tugs at her anchor-tow
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound OF the sea,
Are calling and whispering in his car,
Simon DAM! Why staycst thou here?
Come forth aud follow me-"
so he thinks lie shall take to the sea again
For one more cruise with his buccaneers,
To SINCE the beard of the King OF Spain,
And capture another Dean OF Jacn
And sell him in Alglcrs.
