4 FEMALE ADVENTURER,

In the AduocQte of last week was re-
lated the strange history of a girl whose
lie up to her eighteenth year, was passed
III 1loga county il northern Pennsylvan.
IA. Her name is given as Katie Hanson.
She loved the woods, and roamed freely
through the dim aisles of forest. Her
1ather presented her with rife, in the
use of which she became expert
The Hansons were intelligent, educat-
ed people, and had chosen the wilds of
Iioga wilderness because of the facilities
offered for accumulating wealth in the
lumber business. The nearest neighbors
ct the Hansons were a family named
Johnson, who lived half a mile away.
They were lazy, dissolute, ignorant and
vulgar people. They lived by fishing
and hunting.
between one of the sons of the John
sons and Katie Hanson an attachment
grew out OF frequent associations and
hunting excursions. This displeased
the Hansons, and enmity sprang up be-
tween the two families. Katie was for
bidden to associate with the young man.
She was heads.rong, and did not mind
her fathers injunction.

Harry exclaimed: 1T is only an April
fool" But lie was soon assured that it
was an ''April fool only as far as he was
concerned, and, rushing frantically up
stairs, startled his wife by shouting,
you've fooled me, I'll not stand sncb
treatment"
He soon found that his bride was not
to be dealt with 10 such manner, and,
after bringing her out of half a dozen
''hysterical fits" rushed wildly off to
their hotel, leaving the doctor to escort
his wife.
George Starr was pleased at Eva's good
fortune, but felt as if he had been fool
ed, too.
He had planned and studied how he
could make the most of the little he had,
and had set his mind on working hard to
support his little wife, that was to be,
and now it seemed as if he could do
nothing to show his great love for her.
Old Mr.. Phillips declares ''it was the
best April fool he ever heard of, and
declares that Grandma Kirtley knew she
would be buried on tAll Fools Day,
when she ordered Lawyer Black to read
the letter and viii immediately after the
J3uterdi-Later Ocean.

HER BLOOD WAS TAINTED.

There was a romance connected with
| the life of John Damon's widow. Os-
tracised by society, she became to some
extent the associate of the free negroes,
as they were called, living around the
flats. Among these people was family
named Wilson, who had acquired con-
siderable wealth. One of them owned
the large farm and erected the building
now known as the Stoy place, two and q
half miles down the river road At that
time it was said to be the finest house in
the country. The widow Damon mar
ried the king bee Wilson, and lived with
him number of years. The manner in
which they obtained license to marry
was peculiar. In those days the laws for
the prevention of amalgamation were
very strict, and they were rigidly enfor-
ced in most cases. Wilson and the widow
Damon went to Clark county to procure
the license, and in order to come within
the statute, she opened vein IN her
I
OF his blood, and then swore that she
had negro blood in her veins. Of
c4z-r@a this was violation of the spirit
of the law, but as it fulfilled the
letter it was suffered to pass unnoticed.
Wilson and his wife afterward lived in
New Albany, in the same house where
the remains of her former husband had
been dissected. They had children and
in time one of them, beautiful girl, was
sent to college at Oberlin, Ohio, then, as
now, the retreat Of the oppressed race
who desired to-educate themselves. The
white blood so predominated in her that
it was not known she was Of the race
then despised to any save the principal
Of the institution. Beautiful, accom-
piished and possessed of considerable
wealth for those days, the stories of
which are of course magniied she soon
had sUitors in abundance.
Finally her heart and the promise Of
her hand were given to wealthy young
gentleman we'll known in society in Ohio.
He was, of course ignorant of her past
history and the stigma attaching to both
the blood and the history of her parents.
Then it was. like true woman, loving
her affianced husband, fearing to lose
the idol Of her affections, and dreading
to marry him with the dreadful secret
hanging over her, that she knew not
what to do. In this dilemma she wrote
for advice to her mother. Mrs. Wilson
looked at the matter from a practical
standpoint, and thought it would be
much better for him to know the truth
before marriage, even if il broke off the
match, than to be deceived into a union
which he might abhor, with the almost
certainty that sooner or later he would
learn the truth, and So advised her
daughter. Taking the advice of her
mother, the daughter told the story to
her lover. He could not brave public
opinion, and so withdrew from the en-.
gagement, Offering, however, to make
ample pecuniary provision for her sur
port through life. This she refused.
She returned to her mother, and shortly
afterwaTd died.

For hours along the crowded streets

Without q home or hope in life,
With scarce q hope in God.
This cruel night Is fitting close
TO such q crushing day;
The earth Is, Oh, so dreary cold,
And heaven 50 far away.
The fricndiess raise no anxious thought,
The busy thrUng sweeps on;
I've strayel beyond the city's lights,
The twilight gray has gone.
My useless arms have failed to win
a crust, place TO stay
Earth has no work, no room for me,
And heaven is far away
O great wide world, o frowning sky,
So cherries and 50 vast,
dare your keen and cutting sieet,
Your piercing, bitter blast;
Rage, howl, and lash this living spark
From out the tortured clay
That feels existence dark, all dark,
And heaven SO far away.
How dark and bIac; beside my feet
The sluggish river rolls!

To lure unhappy souls;
It's Shiny voice is whispering:
Here rest in peace for aye"
Oh, God. the river is so lear,
And heaven so far away.

split in one front foot.
&l5.-Ihe sbca shoald be removed,
and ID order to soften the horn and en-
courage its growth, COLI faxseed meal
pouitioes should be applied for few
days. 10 cause new horn to grow down
without crack in it, & horizontal diyis-
ION OF the fibres Of the rorn should be
made at its intersection with the skin, or
above the npper end Of the split. To
keep out dirt and sand from the crack
(Which of course will not grow together).
1t should be filed with shoemaker's wax.
which Is best done by forming a stick of
the wax, so that it can be held by one
end, while a heated iron is held to the
other, and smoothing it in half melted
state into the crack. The crack must ne
clean and dry at the time this Is done.
When the crack is filled, smooth it wit h
a finger. When the splint extends to the
rim OF the hoQf, it win be necessary. in
case the horse must be shod for use. to
remove a segment of the wall of the hoof-
extending half an inch each side Of the
splint, to prevent bearing on the shoe,
and thus prevent Earring of the split
edges. 1t Will require several months be.
fore suoh split grows down, and be-
comes effaced by wear or pairing of the
hoof. Meanwhile the horse should never
be used in any quicker gait than walk
Entire liberty on pasturage during three
months would be preferable to confne.

factory results. He states that the drop
Of. water resembles q fake Of snow
viewed with the same instrument. He
examined several other drops, and,
strange to say, each presented marked
difference in appearance. The first as
sumed the shape Of a star, the second
that of crescent, the third dagger,
the fourth comet, and so on. After
concluding his examination, the gentle
man resolved to further test the quail
ties of the water by tasting it. Letting
a single drop fall on his tongue, he was
surprised and delighted to find that it
sparkled like the best brand ofimported
champagne. He then concluded 10
swallow portion, which he did with
the most delightful effect. He says the
moment the water began descending
his throat he enjoyed the most
pleasant sensation of his life. 1t seemed,
indeed, as if he were truly slipping the
nectar of the gods. The draught seemed
to divide itself into million parts the
moment it passed his throat, portion
passing with the speed of lightning
along every vein of his body. So de-
lightful was the effect that he forgot
for the time where he was, and uttered
peal after peal of the widest possible
laughter. He AYERS that the sensation
of squeezing pretty girl is no COMPARE
son to the ecstatic joy which he derived
from one draught Of this water.
Owing to the peculiar effects which
the water has on the human system, the
gentleman before leaving the place
christened the spot 1.-THE Electric
Spring" He claims that this name is
peculiarly appropriate, for there is no
doubt but that the water is heavily
charged with electricity. He will en-
deavor next summer ia form company
for the purpose of merging the place in
to summer resort, As it is believed that
the waters of the spring will cure any or
ali ills that flesh is heir to.
