THE CONFESSIONS OF A CORPSE

"Yes-it is just the old story, as you and
foretold, you remember, when we heard that
Bertha had married old Gage. Don't you
know you said that If she wanted to be happy,
she had best keep as far away from Eugene as
possible!"
"Yes-I recollect that had misgivings
then. The truth is, that she always loved
Eugene, and all the marriage -ceremonies in
the world could not have made her one with
John Gage.
True enough. Women are the most ex.
traordinary beings on the face OF the earth.
Eugene is well enough to do in the pecuniary
way, to have married Bertha, and made her
happy. Their families liked each other all
around, and l could never see any reason for
her accepting old Gage, except that he is as
rich as Crasus"
swell, there is no accounting for woman's
nature. OF such is the kinfdom of crino-
line!"
Eugene Lisle had been one of my few true
friends. We were boys together--had grown
up side by side-shared everything between
us for many years, and were tar more brother
" than most brothers are. But when man
falls in love, and is loved in RETURN 1t separates
him from his masculine companions as newt
ably as death. Eugene was no exception to
the rule. He met Bertha Linton, got ac-
quainted with her, and loved her. For while
they were considered to be betrothed; but
erelong John Gage--a retired broker, cold of
eye, harsh of voice and slow of action-laid
his money bags ut her feet, and bought her
with their glittering contents.
With q culpable weakness for one who had
the strength to make such bargain, Bertha
persuaded her husband to take lodgings in a
house where she knew Eugene intended to
take up his abode also. Gage had heard
nothing of Eugene's love for Bertha, and con-
sented without fear or suspicion. The young
man came shortly to the house, met Bertha,

English SuperstltiOns,

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette, who
has lately been making tour of rural
England, writes of the superstitions of
the hamlets as follows
In most large rural parishes in Eng
land there is at least one small hamlet
mile or two distant from the main vii
lage. A few houses and cottages stand
loosely scattered about the fields, no two
of them together-so separated, indeed,
by hedges, meadows and copses, as hard
iy TO be called even hamlet. The COM
munication with the village is maintained
by long, winding, narrow lane; but
foot passengers follow a shorter path
across the fields, which in winter is sure
to be ankle deep in mud by the gate ways
end stiles. The lane at the same time
is crossed by a torrent, which may spread
out to thirty yards wide in the hollow
shallow at the edges, but swift and deep
in the middle. If you wait couple of
hours it will subslde, as the farmers low
er down the brook pull up their matches
to let the flood pass. If you are in a
hurry, you must climb up into the
doublemound beside the lane and force
your way along it between the thorns
and sioles till you reach the channel
through which the current is rushing.
Across that an old tree trunk will prob
ably lie, and by grasping bough as a
handrail it is possible to get over. But
either way, by lane or footpath, you are
sure to get what the countey folk call
"watdhe.." So that in winter the
hamlet is practically isolated; for even
in moderately good weather the
lane is an inch or two deep in finely
puddled adhesive mud. 1t was SO shad-
ed by elms and thick hedges that the
dirt requires length of time to dry,
while the passage of hundreds of sheep
tread and puddle it as only sheep can.
In summer the place is lovely; but then
the inhabitants are one and all busy in
the fields, and have little time for social
intercourse or for travel into the next
parish. 1t is ten to one if you knock at
cottage door you will find it locked :
if, indeed, you get so far as that, pad
lock being often on the garien-gate. Be-
ing so isolated and apart from the cur
rent of modern life and manners, the
hamlet folks retain something of the old
fashioned way of thinking. They do
not believe their own superstitions with
the implicit c:edence of yore, but they
have not quite forgotten them. / lave

AFebruary b dispatch from Palermo
says, the runor of an outbreak of the plague
at Odessa caused violent demonstrations
there, which, however, were quieted by the
announcement that the government had or
dered quarantine of one week on all arrivals

There were three runaway frightened
teams in St. Paul, Mimi. on the afternoon OF
Jan. 31st, one attended with probable fatal re-
suits. John Woodman was thrown violently

A Toronto telegram of FEBRUARY 5th
says the action, of the British government On
the question Of scheduling American cattle,
is watched with interest. Should she decision
be favorable Ito the States, the Canadian
government will have to undo what they
have done, in prohibiting for space OF three
months the importation of American cattle
into Canada, or their passage through any
part of the Dominion. If this is not done,
the effect will be to send all trade to United
States ports during that period. -
Mr.. George G Tatfty, of Washington
market, New York, one of the leading cattle
| shippers to Europe, received private dis
