While travelling through Switzer'

physician. res ident Of Gratz. witness
ed at small railroad station within
the Helvetian frontier, truly tragi-
cal and thrilling episode of domestic
life, which he has impaired To the
leading journal of his native town.
A young doctor recently appointed
to the post of Town Physician in
the Swissbourg, which became the
scene of the tragedy. had for
some years past carried ON a hdisOn
with a married lady. Shortly after
his appointment, however. he con
tracted matrimonial alliance with a
young lady Of respectable family, and
was Just starting upon his wedding
trip with his bride when his former
mistress appeared in the station. and
flung herself down upon the rails as
train commenced TO move. The en-
CINE passed over the body, mangling
it horribly. and the bridegroom was
summoned in his medical capacity to
the spot where the unfortunate wo-
mans mutilated remains had been
deposited. Unnerved by the terrible
sight, he uttered a loud cry and fell
upon the platform 10 a state Of insen-
sibility. Some Of the bystanders ac-
quainted his bride with the cause of
the suicide committed almost before
her eyes, whereupon she turned with
loathing from the senseless form Of
her husband, and at once went hack
to her fathers house, leaving DIR. -
to the indignation Of the crowd as
sembled in the railroad station. A
spirited endeavor was made To lynch
him, from which he was rescued with
great difficulty by the police and sta
ton officials. To complete the hor-
rors of this dismal story, the husband
Of the unfortunate lady who persisted
under the wheels Of the locomotive
went raving mad upon hearing of her
awful death, and is at present the in
male of n lunaiic asylum.

but = smooth, perpendicular wall OF

These migrating hosts are accom-

fact that the reindeer is often seen il

doubtful character. The termination

but mothers with manageable daugh-
tiers could not make enough of him.
He did not talk much and would have
got through dinner well enough but
for one nnlucky slip into which the
kindness of his hostess betrayed him.
He ate but little, and refused one dish

trying in vain TO tempt his appetite,

VT MONTHS w " ANoe"Ss
The young lady who has been lying
in trance at her mothers residence
in Norfolk for the past six months,
startled those around her last Monday
by suddenly recovering the use Of her
tongue, and to a certain extent the
use Of Der limbs. This wonderful
case was mentioned in the Norfolk pa
pcrs soon after its existence became
known, and ever since its beginning
there has been, to all appearances, an
almost total suspension of vitality in
the sleeper. On last Monday morn
ing, however, as the mother was Civ
ing some directions in regard 10 medi-
cine she was startled to hear the
daughter say ;s"It is OF no use.
Since that time the young lady,
though still weak, and showing no de
sire to engage ina long conversation,
has been able to talk perfectly well.
Her attempts TO walk, however, are
exactly such as would be made by a
child, she being only able to take a
step or two at a time. She says that,
although utterly unable to throw oil
the state Of lethargy thai bound her,
yet she was thoroughly conscious of
everything that was transpmng
around her, and can repeat remarks
that we're made and describe the
times when she was moved, although
she was to all appearances as lifeless
as log on these occasions. - Norfolk

low. son sirs on The little upright p'-
ano We had rented when "a rap on The
door startled NJ. rose TO open IT.
A tall. handsome young man, with
an unmistakable foreign air, stood
there. He bowed with high.brcd
grace, and inquired, with a slight &C.
cent, for the young lady who had sold
antique writing desk the day be-
fore.
Lucille, who had started at the
sound of the voice, came forward.
Her dark eyes shoae, and the color
flushed into the checks.
"IIenriw she cried. She had ex-
tended her hand, but drew il hack as
instantly, and stood there, hlushing
and trembling.
The gentleman started, gazed eager
" at her, aud then clasped her hands
in both Of his.
"Lucilel Lucille y he cried. "lioa
Dieu, what a pleasure. His eyes
shone with delight as he spoke.
Lucille. after moment, isrned to
US.
ooh girls--only think, she said,
"it is Henri, my old playmate ! You
remember my telling you of the boy
who was so kind to me. Oilen and
often we children played in the Libra

She broke down. She could speak
no more. The memory OF those old
days and Of all bar troubles since she
had been left alone in the world, over
powered her. She turned away her
head to hide her emotion.
Monsieur Lamont pressed her hand,
bowed over il. and kissed it, in his
foreign fashion. Then, looking around
at us, he told us the rest Of the story.
How he had come to this county for a
few years, to establish branch busi-
ness for Paris firm. How his moth
er had come with him. How he had
purchased and fitted up a house to suit
her fancies. How, when his agent
had brought him the desk, his mother
and he were struck with the resem-
blance it bore to the one they had seen
so often, in France.
owe we're both sure it was the
same" he said, there could not be
two, and behold am here.
Madame Lamont came, too, the
next day. We were not so blind but
we could see the little romance, which
was unfolding, under our eyes and
we rejoiced that such happy future
was to be the fate of our dear girl.
Never did the course of love run
smoother. The mother aud son were
of one mind, and, hurried matters as
fast as possible.
So it was not many months before
Ruth and | were alone, and, Lu-
ellie was mistress of a beautiful home.
In a few years they are to 60 back
to France, and though we shall miss
Lucille, we shall know she is living,
once more, in the dear, old chateau,
which her husband, meantime. has
purchased.
So the New Years eve. that open
ed so sadly, ended in a HAPPY NEW
YEAR
