A REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE,-From
the New York World we obtain the
details of story, which if true, is Ger
tainly one of the most singular cases of
which we ever read, AT Long Branch,
n. j., fearful storm has been raging
tor several days, and great damage has
been done to property in that neighbor-
hood. In the dead Of the night on last
Tuesday, while the tempest was at its
heighth and the tremendous waves came
roaring in upon the beach, the furious
wind was ho&iing around the huge
empty hotels, rattling the windows and
threatening to tear the buildings to
pieces. an appalling scene took place in
a little house in tbe centre OF the village.
A bright, merry boy, niue years OF age
was dying. He had been born deaf
and dumb and these defects had Dever
been cured He was quick witied and
always good natured but had never ut
tered a distinctly articulatedsonnd His
parents and some Of the kindly neigh
bors were watching by his bedside. as
the little life, which had -brayely bat
vainly struggled against the powerlot a
malignant fever, was slowly passing
away Suddenly he started up from a
half unconscious. doze and with wildly
distended eyes and strangely inspired
, glow Upon his face be spoke, clearly
aud distinctly. He only uttered few
words. but what he said has thrown the
inhabitants of the village into a Wild
state of excitement and fear. The sub
stance of his utterahce was that Long
Branch was>to be visited by an awful
calamity this summer, aud that there
wonld not be enough people alive in the
village to bury the dead. After utter
ing this strange and unaccountable pro-
pbecy, the boy fell back upon his pillow
stone dead. ,,., ......,-....
Some of the, Long Branch people
think that it is, a return of the spotted
fever, which nearly depopplated the
town ten or twelve years ago, which is
TO fulfill the boys prophecy, while 9th
ers fear tidal wave. '.. =
Taking the story for what it is worth,
it is surely queer affair.

Nor III 1T Was My ROY--Some years

educator, delivered an address at the

All! there's a'wODdertul value about
my boy Other boys may be rude,aDd
rough; other boys may be reckless and
wild other boys may seem TO require
more pains and labor than they ever
will repay; other boys may be left to

near at hand; but my boy-tlt were
worth the toll Of lifetime and the lay
ish wealth of world TO save him from
the temporal and eternal rnin. We
would go the world round to save bin
from peril, and would bless every band
that was stretched out TO give him help
or welcome And yet every wander

some fond mother called ',ny boy Ey-
cry lost woman, suuken in the depths
of sin, was somebody's daughter, in ber
days, of childish, innocence To-day
somebody's son is a hungry outcast,
somebody daughter is a weary, help
less wanderer, driven by necessity that
leads to death. Shal'w we shrink from
labor, shall we hesitate at what cost

A WOMAN OF NERvE-Were the
feminine sex as general thing possess.
ed of more nerve than they ARE, il would
not nnfrequenlly serve them a good
purpose. We hear of an exemplifca-
ton of this feat which has just occurred
in New York. On Monday last four
men attempted TO rob the jewelry store
of Mr.. q. ID. Voss, while his wife was
in charge. One drawing a pisto!,
threatened to deprive her Of brains, if
she made any outcry, while bis part.
ners in crime proceeded TO rob the
showcases. The woman, self possessed,
quick -witted and plucky withal, with
apparent carelessness, placed her bands
against one Of the large panes Of plate
glass in the window, and with sudden
but determined pressure, pushed the
glass out, and il fell TO the sidewalk
with crash, attracting the attention of
persons passing. The glass was broken
beyond recovery, but the robbers fled
in dismay, without obtaining any of the
valuable jewelry they were so desirous
OF securing. Here is lesson for many
of OR excessively timid ladies' Had
Mrs. Voss tainted the store would have
been robbed, and her husband deprived
Of a stock Of costly goods.

MYTHS ARE BUT SYMBOLS
OF TRUTH.

AS the scholar sees in the vain bat
beautiful mythologies of the ancients
the embodied expressions OF the hungry
human souls, blindly cropping after the
Infinite, so the physician sees In that
popular myth of he'sixteenth century
the fountain of perpetual health aud
youth--an expression Of the longiEgs
of suffering humanity for remedy that
should forever prevent the incursion of
disease. The wilds OF Europe were
ransacked for this wonderful foun.
tain, aud Ponce de Leon sought for
it in the cypress swamps and tangled
everglades of our sunny Florida. Men
have searched tor it everywhere and any
where but where IL really is-in the hu
man body itself. The blood is the real
fountain of health aud youth. When
this source is corrupted, the painful and
sorrow producing effects are visible in
many shapes. The mnltifarious forms
in which il maniftsts itself would form
subjects upon which might write vol
umes. But as all the varied forms OF
disease which depend upon bad blood
are cured, or best treated, by such med
icines as take up from this fluid and es
crete from the system the noxious ele-
ments, il is not of practicle importance
that | should describe each. For in
stance, medical authors describe about
fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they
all require for their cure very similar
treatment. il is Of no practical utility to
know just what name to apply TO . Ger
tain form of skin disease, SO you know
how best to cure il. Then again, / might
60 on and describe varions kinds of
scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swell
ings, enlarged glands. and ulcers OF va
rying appearance; might describe how
virulent poison may show itself in va
rious forms OF eruptious, ulcers, sore
throat, bony tumors, etc; but rs all these
various.appearing manifestations of bad
blood are cured by uniform means, l
deem such course unnecessary, Thor
oughly cleanse the blood, which is The
great fountain of life, and good diges-
tion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength, and soundness OF constitution,
will return TO us. For this purpose DIR.
