1t was a calm, still night, a soft
air playing caressing with the tress-
es of lovely girl, and the moon
shed its gentle ray over the radiant
brow of her lover. Her small
brother, meanwhile, just home for
the holidays, was accidentally wan~
dering in quest of a bat in the
neighborhood, when he heard the
voice of his sister and her betroth-
ed. Prompted by the natural curl
osity of youth he fingered to listen.
After a few inarticulate murmurs he
beca ne conscious of the sound of
OSCILLATION, and enjoyed his position
exceedingly. Later in the evening
he met the pair at tea. 81 heard
YOU kiss Fred" he abruptly re-
marked to his sister. "What do
YOU mean, you rude boy p cried the
sweet girl, turning scarlet. Oh
it's no use denying it," replied her
brother. "You can't CANNON me,
I know the sound, you know; it
was just like a cow pulling her hoof
out of a mud hole" This Is an
instance of comparison which was
odious.-L0ndon Truth.

Montgomery Advertiser.

The Mississippi papers state that
fatal disease has broken out in
the counties bordering the Ala
bama line, which is pronounced by
the physicians as BLACK Measles, "
and by the negroes as the BLACK
Plague. 1t is represented to be
very contagious and usually fatal,
not a single case having thus far re
coverd. The disease is also reported
to be rapidly extending into Ala
bama, and the papers along the Dor
der demand that commission of
the most prominent and expert
enced physicians of both Syate5 be
instantly appointed to examine into
the character Of this disease and,
provide some means. for check
ing it.

widow turned in her sleep and nut,
tered:
'"Tis some child of zoe and sorrow
Come thus eariy here 10 borrow
! Tea or coffee tor her breakfast"
The next knock wasn't so faint.
1t made the door shake and the
dishes rattle, and the widow sat up
in bed and cried out:
"'Tis some loaf-r il pounding;
All! l hear his Voice sounding
And Eli chase him { ON my door"
The third knock was a kick, and
the humble widow Laybold opened
her door with that prompt, decided
action which alone saved the battle
of Waterloo. Before her stool a
