Empty Houses as fever Breeders.

Houses that have been empty may
becomd fever-breeders when they
come to be reoccnpied. An English
sanitary officer alleges that he has
observed typhoid, diptheria or other
zymotic affections to arise under
these circumstances. The cause is
supposed to be in the disuse of els.

of putrefaction going on in the i'm.

A Sensible Young Lady.

A young lady was addressed by a
man who, though agreeable to her,
was disliked by her father, whowould
not consent to their union, and she
determined to clope. The night was
fixed, the hour came, he placed the
ladder to the window and in a few
minutes she was in his arms. They
mounted a double horse, and were
soon some distance from the house.
After some time, the lady broke the
silence by saying: "Well, you see
what proof | have given you of my
affection; hope you will make me a
good husband."Ife was a surly fellow
and grufliy answered: perhaps l
may,and perhaps not" She made
no reply, but, after silence of some
minutes, she suddenly exclaimed
"Oh, what shall we do? l have left
my money behind me in my rooml"
"Then," said he, 1--WE must go back
and fetch it," They were soon again
at the house, the ladder was again
placed, the lady remounted. while
the ill.nallired lover remained below.
But she delayed to come, and SO he
gently called: Are you coming?"
when she looked out of the window
and said: Perhaps / may, and per-
haps not" and then shut down the
window, and left him to- return on
the double horse alone.
