A Book AGENT Outgeneraled.

There is man out III California who
asserts that he once got the best of a fe-
male book-agent-actually obliged her
to leave in disgust And this is the way
in which he brought it about:
A female book-peddler came to the
office the other day; she wished to dis
pose Of book. She was alone in this
world and had no one to whom she could
turn for sympathy or assistance; hence
we should buy her book. She was I'M
married and had no manly heart into
which she could pour her sufferings !;
therefore we ought to invest in a book.
She had received a liberal education, and
we could not, in consequence, pay her
less than 81 for a book. We had lis
tened attentively and here broke in
with:
"What did you say? We're deaf"
She started in loud voice and went
through her rigmarole. When she had
finished we went and got roll of paper,
and making it into a speaking trumpet,
placed one end to our ear and told her
to proceed. She nearly broke a blood
vessel in her effort to make herself heard
She commenced
" | am alonein the world"
at doesn't make the slightest differ
ence to us. We are a husband and a
father. Bigamy is not allowed in this
state. We are not eligible to proposals. y
ooh, what fool the man isr' she
said in a low tone, then at the top OF her
voice, " | don't want to marry you;
want to sell-a-b-o-o-k."
The last sentence was howled.
We don't want a cook" we remark
ed, blandly; "our wife does the cook
ing, and she wouldn't allow as good look,
ing woman as you to stay in the house
five minutes. She is very jealous"
She looked at us in despair. Gather
ing her robes about her, giving us g
glance of contempt, she exclaimed:
81 do believe it a 300-pounder wa:
let off alongside that deaf fools head he'G
think that somebody was knocking al
the door"

door when she went out We heard that

Burns's second "rObber" was of course
Malcolm Payne In leaping over the
threshold he saw something white lying
at his feet. Picking it up he found it
was a lady's cambria handkerchief.
4 peculiar, delicate perfume, of which
Edna was especially fond, thrilled
through him, and caused him, hurried
though he was, to turn to the corners
and look keenly at them in the moon
light
"Ednap he read, gazing incredulously
AT the embroidered characters. cit can
not be my Edna and yet-where is
she7"
Thrusting the handkerchief into his
pocket, he rushed onward Edna, swift
footed as a gazelle by daylight, was not
so by moonlight, in these strange grounds.
Thinking Burns was following her, she
sped onward, uncertain whittier. Frantic
with excitement and fear she persevered,
converting the anguished edna!
Edna!" ringing hOarsely on the night
air, INTO so many shouts of triumph.
And when at last light hand fell on
her shoulder, and she reeled fainting
into the friendly arms behind her, she
still believed herself yanquished by a
foe.
Poor darling! poor darling! What
does it all mean, | WONDER" murmured
Malcolm Payne, gazing down at the poor
little face in the moonlight. "Why,
my dear child, don't you know me?
your own Malcolm"
And with faint cry of relief she lay
upon his arm in peace.

has so fortunately taken refuge here,
is my promised wife, Burns" an
swered Malcolm, who had heard a word
or two of explanation from Edna as they
came in.
Little more remains to be told. With
her head piIlowed on Miss Neal, and her
hand prisoner in Malcolm's, Edna told
her story in detail. And Malcolm told
his aunt his story-to tell which had
been the chief purpose of this visit to
his aunt-that he intended to make this
young lady his own with all speed.
An attack of fever followed on the
excitement Edna had undergone, during
which she had not more gentle attend
ant than Burns-who had found her
spoons were safe. The wedding followed
For her lover represented to Edna, with
all the eloquence he was master of, that
she could not be safe from John Lydell

Those who suffer from disorder or in
action of the liver will never get the upper
hand of the unruly organ so long as they
use such irrational remedies as blue pill,
calomel and podophyllin. But fron the
tried and popular medicine, Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, they may expect relief
with certainty of obtaining it. The inhu-
encs OF the bitters upon the great hillary
gland is direct, powerful and speedily felt
The relief afforded is not spasmodic, but
complete and permanent. The sallowness
OF the skin, furred appearance Of the tongue,
indigestion, costiveness, headache, nausea,
pains through the right side and shoulder,

nate complaint are entirely and promptly
removed by a course OF this inestimable
medicine, in behalf of which testimony is
constantly enanating from every quarter
and from all classes of society.

Remarkable Fabrication of a Corpse

from the BaItlmo e Gazette.
Workmen employed upon the opening
of Boundary avenue, east from the York
road, recently discovered on the site of
the old Methodist cemetery, near Point
lane, the body of a small child which
has been perfectly petrifed. The body
is inclosed in a metallic casket, and is
that of a child about a year old The
stone or petrifcation is a pure white;
every line and feature is retained, and
the figure bears a strong resemblance to
marble statue. The body weighs
twenty-five or thirty pounds. Relatives
of the child fully established its iden-
tity, and the petrihcation was given in
their charge. 1t was removed to the
Methodist cemetery at the eastern city
limits, where it will be reinterred. 1t
was buried twenty-one years ago. 1t has
been lying in a Toulouse for several
days, and has been viewed by large num-
bers of people. Several other bodies
preserved in a similar condition have
been found in the same locality during
the opening of Boundary avenue.

softly touched the key. 1t turned; the
lock snapped; but ere the door could be
moved by the cautious Burns, Edna,
hooded and yelled, threw herself against
it with all her might, at the same time
uttering a low cultural sound in her
own great terror, which was followed by
her onset. And it all proved too much
for Burns. Instantly she lay discom-
flied heap upon the floor, candle and
bravery alike extinguished.
With swift fingers Edua unfastened
the back door and darted out, intensity
of dread winging her feet as she fled
from the place. As the door swung be-
hind her she paused a moment to put OF
her boots, and then continued her wild
flight with redoubled speed. She was
not, however, to escape unnobserved.

from his bed, donned few articles OF

Meantime, Burns remained quiescent,
a prey to a thousand conflicting emo

robber had done to her, or whether she
was killed or not
